Fernle, Nov. 19.—The last act In the strike drama waB concluded today when Gladstone local union received a wire', from president "Mitchell at Minneapolis Informing them that the International union-confirmed the settlement made by representative Burke and ordering the men back to work. The following ts a copy ot the telegram received by general manager Lindsey and W. H, Moore, president of the local union: "Minneapolis, Nov. 18, ISM.—Agreement made by Burke recognised by International union and men will return to work. (Sgd.) John Mitchell." It Ib now confidently expected that tb* mlnen who have declined lo return to work until Instructed to do so by the international president will at once apply for their old places, and that ths collieries will soon be In a position to relieve the present coal famine. A feeling of relief pervades the town since the receipt ot the telegram from John Mitchell, president of the U. M. W. of A., confirming the settlement of the strike arrived at by representative Burke, and once more the public are looking forward with renewed hope and confldence to the era of prosperity which had begun before the disastrous strike was called, and which has been so seriously threatened. Since Mr. Burke's authority to settle the trouble wsb called In question, there has been but one opiiiton-"*--*-.**,'-' the ultimate result and that opinion has been condrmed by president Mitchell's wire ordering the men back to work and supporting the action taken by the duly accredited representative. The honor -of the great organisation over which Mr. Mitchell presides hsa been proved and not found wanting, and the Crow't- Ncst Pass district has *een saved anil retained to the U. M. W. of A. by Uie *honorable, broad-minded and courageous attitude ot the men to whom was delegated the delicate task of dealing -with the trouble. It is not, humanly -speaking, possible to please everybody In pronouncing Judgment on a struggle such as the recent one here has been hut when sober second thought has had time to do Its work, those who now may I&el embittered at the decision arrived at by Mr. Burke and concurred In by Mr. Mitchell, wlll then he tree to admH that the decision rendered was the only just one and the' one best calculated to 'conserve their future Interests. Interviewed by The Dally News with regard to the settlement of the strike ud Mitchell's wire to the men to return to work, W. M. Dlcken, late president of Pernle local union, had the following to say ln answer to the questions put to him. "Mr. Mitchell's confirmation of Burke's settlement wltb the company was just what I expected and what 1 was sure would he the result when he was possessed of all the facts In the "What will be the result? The men In future will be very careful to demand a full Investigation before a step is taken that wlll cause a strike like the present one. They will demand a ballot of all the men that are working, and will not leave It In the hands of on* man to post a notice calling the men -out. They will want a secret ballot and wlll not allow a strike unless there is a two-third's majority ln favor of It and then no outsider would be Justified -'In -aylng that half of thi) men did not want to strike, "Do I think the majority of the men were ln favor of a settlement? Oh. yes, I believe that all right, and I think a lot ot the men would have voiced their feelings only they though the company -would have demanded damages, but on the other hand thero am a few who didn't want * settlement, men without formation of a new union, which has heen rumored, would meet with no success. "As to my own position? I feel that my courae has been vindicated. Thoae who wanted to strike on any pretext will not favor me, but the more thoughtful, right thinking men, will appreciate the stand I took from the beginning." Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 19.—Prealdent Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, today said that whatever the difficulties existing between the operators and miners ln the Crow's Nest Pass bituminous ooal fields ot BrltlBh Columbia, they are all over now, and that the men will go back to work. President Mitchell declines to say what aide won ln the strike, but says the men will work under their old agreement with the operators. TWO SHILLINGS A SHARE LATEST DIVIDEND DECLARED BY US ROI MINING CO. purs, of gold by the offloe staff on the occasion of his approaching: marrrlage, whloh Is to take place ln Winnipeg on Wednesday, Nov. 21. ^ Members of Gladstone local Miners' union turned out ln largo numbers on Sunday afternoon to pay tlielr last tribute of respect to their late brother, J. Kent, wlio died In Uio general hospital on Fi'ilay, from blood poisoning. Bev R. 8. Wilkinson conduoted the services. PRESENT CONDITION OP MING IS VERY .-SATISFACTORY. Nov. 19.—A cablegram received today from London states that at -the annual meeting of the Le Rol Mining Co., held there, a dividend of two shillings a share was declared. The report of A. J. McMillan, managing director, was read and it gave a most favorable account of the condition, of the mine, Th* present dividend ls tor 1100- 000. This added to what already haa been paid, 11.377,000, gives a grand total of $1,477,000. The condition ot the mine, owing to the discoveries west ot the Josie dyke, which makes the Le Rol practically a new mine, and owing to the Important discoveries ot ore In the old workings, Is most favorable. There Is more oro In the mine than ever in its history. Already Its gross yield has been "118,000,000 and the probabilities are that in the next ten yeara lt wlll yield twice that amount. "What support will president Sherman receive after this? That Is a hard question to answer. He still haa a certain following, but my experience has heen that when a man suffers humiliation, those who have been his fastest friends turn their backs on blm when they sm the crowd changing Us attitude, and I have no doubt the same thing will happen to Sherman; but I do not wish to express any harsh opinion. I am only sorry that such things should have to happen. "What do I think of the position of the U. M. W. of A. In the Pass now? 1 believe the action of Burke will 'strengthen that organisation both among the men and the operators because the moat honorable thing a man can do tor any organisation Is to admit that 'right Is right' and not uphold wrong in anyone, even a high official. I am convinced that Burke's settlement has strengthened th* man's oonfld-mn la the C. M. W. of A, ud that th* THREE YEAR'S LEASE. Hall M. ft S. Co. Obtain Lease of B. ■ C. Standard Proptny and Stock.

POPE PIUS IMPLORES MERCY FOR THE MISCREANT. Rome, Nov. 19.—The outrages of the desperate anarchist band now terrorising Italy reached a climax Sunday morning ln a bomb explosion ln St. Peter's cathedral, at the Vatican, jnst at the conclusion of the morning mass. It ls a miracle that hundreds were not trampled to death ln the wild stampede to leave the great church Immediately after the explosion. The explosion made a thunderous report, which echoed and reverberated In the Immense auditorium with a deafening volume of sound. The church Immediately filled with smoke. The nave was crowded with worshippers, among whom were many women, and an Indescribable panic developed. Men shouted wildly that the roof was falling and without heed for Others rushed madly toward the exists. The utmost contusion prevailed for many minutes. There ls reason to believe that a most carefully planned attempt was made to assassinate the pope while he was at mass. The pope was engaged in his regular noon hour devotions when the bomb went off. He heard a muffled sound, which surprised but did not harm him. Monslgnor Misoiatelll, sub-prefect of the apostolic palace and monslgnor Bls- letl, major dome of the vatlcan, at once hurriedly entered the pontiff's chamber. They were so pale that the pope immediately asked, "What has happened?" - "Do not be alarmed, holy father," was the answer. "A bomb has exploded In tbe basilica, but fortunately there are no deaths to deplore, and no one has been wounded,' The pontiff asked anxiously it the church had been damaged. Upon being reassured, he fell upon his knees, saying he must implore mercy for the misguided perpetrator ot the deed.

The flrst resistance reported was at Vlllelongue de Langue, ln the western Pyrennees, The clericals there, after carrying away the sacred emblems, barricaded and locked themselves ln the church. The Inventory of the church of St. Augustine was taken today without a repetition of the violent demonstrations of last spring, when the church was occupied and held by a determined body of parishioners. Several priests and the church wardens assisted the government commissioners in the operation today. The doors of the edifice were barred and a party of 20 persons who were attending a baptism were turned out. The clergyman conducting the ceremony protested against the commissioners and refused to hand over the books. The officials then burst open the safe, secured the registers and other documents, completed .their inventory and retired. They met with no resistance.

New York, Nov, 19.—Equine quality in all gradation, and society leaders and the votaries of wealth and fashion in this and many other cities combined tn Paris, Nov. 19.---Det-alls of the ty-urt's decision in the Castellane dlvcive suit show that In addition to secur-ii-f, an absolute divorce and the cusU-a-/ of the children, the countess Ib u*ji . no obligation to make any seta.*,* .-nt, in a lump sum, or annually, u-imi sunt Bonl. He is allowed to see the -.b'idren for a week at Easter and at Ch.istniaa time and to have their company for a month ln the summer. The children are to visit their grandmother, the Marquise de Castellane, on Thursdays and Sundays. The only apparent concession to count Bonl is thy provision that the children shall uot be taken out of France without the Cher's consent, but the couit decree pu* i.ias in esse he makes any unreasonable -jpi-osklon the mother may apply to tbe telblrai and receive a court order to take the children away. The count's demand for an "alimentary allowance of $£0,000 a year" Im denied on the ground tbat the guilty party in a divorce case nses all the advantages accorded elth*. by a marriage contract or the courst ■■/ married life nnd consequently the court refused to allow not only the count's original claim for $50,009 a year but the lb.1,000 which tlie countess offered and whicli It now seems the count claimed to ha-re accepted October 25. It Is understood that Mme. '"mid will make no fixed allowance to tu. count, but may provide for his needs from time to time, always contingent upon bis good behavior. Count Bonl has disappeared. In political circles ihe comment Is that he wlll not dare appear again in his seat in the chnra- ber of deputies. He ta utterly without means or credit to maintain hla Impeccable out of coal and shed princely tips as be steps from his motor car. What. then, is there In political life for count HonlY Without money or reputation, as this divorce decree has left him, his career, socially, as well as politically, seems to be ended. It Is thc Intention of Mme. -Oould to educate the children in France after tbe manner of all young French noblemen. Though she herself has lost' a title the children are heirs to the Castellane name and titles. The judgment Is given with costs against tho count. The court appointed the president of tho court of notaries to liquidate tho affairs of the husband and wife.

ELECTIONS IN JANUARY The Dally News learns from an authoritative source that the decision has been reached by premier McBride to hold the provincial elections early In January, as soon after the New Year as possible. It has been finally settled that there shall be no session of tne legislature before the elections and an announcement of dissolution may be expected within the next day or two. lNTTaRNATlbNiAl. LABOR UNIONS Our correspondent, "H.W.", opens up • fruitful subject of discussion In Us eommiuilcatlon dealing with the recent strike of coal miners. His remarks as to the need of some legislative machinery, to proven* the recurrence of these industrial disputes »n timely, but It Is still * moot point as to whether or not th* solution Is to b* found In compulsory arbitration. Th* experience of compulsory arbitration has not proved an unqualified success In New Zealand and many labor leaders and students of social economics are openly opposed to this method of dealing with Industrial disputes. His references to International labor organisations and the control Of Canadian unions thus placed In the hands of aliens will certainly appeal lo a great many people, particularly those who feel that Canada has reached a stage In national growth when such control of a very Important factor in the country's prosperity should not be vested In residents of a foreign country. But we cannot take a narrow view of this question. Whilst labor forms International relations, capital does likewise, and whilst It may cause the patriotic an unpleasant sensation to realise that a resident of Indianapolis has the llnal say as to whether or not coal miners working in the Crow's Nest Psss shall return to work, we must not forget that passenger and freight rates on our Canadian railways are largely dictated by Americans and that the prices ol many commodities are fixed by the heads of American trusts and trade combinations. Men engaged in every line of trade In Canada experience frequently the control exercised by foreigners over the goods they handle or the machinery they use In their factories. Apart, however, from tbls phase ot the question, we hav* often asked ourselves whether the advantages of International organisation repay Canadian trades unions for the obvious disadvantages. We understand that tbe chief argument in favor of internationalism is that Canadian Industries are as ye", organized on too small a scale to give a purely Canadian trades union the numerical aud financial strength essential to successful negotiation with large employers of labor. But we have never heard of any considerable financial assistance being forthcoming tor the needs ot a Canadian union engaged in a struggle, from the American headquarters of the international organization, neither bave we heard ot any sympathetic strikes on the American side to help out a Canadian strike. The formation of purely Canadian unions does not necessarily Imply any hostility to the American organizations. Cooperation would still be possible and might in many Instances prove decidedly effective. EDITORIAL NOTES. The little man from Ymlr has been telling the Vancouver Province what he thinks be knows about the attitude of interior electors towards the McBride government, ln a glowing period he tells the coast people that "the general public are not blind to the wisdom of the policy the conservatives initiated three years ago." He descants upon tbe remarkable outburst ot popular enthusiasm over McBrlde's handling of the "Better Terms" case and the admiration expressed ou all sides for the great achievements of the McBride government In the way ot Improving the agricultural and mining industries of the country. Really "Harry" can be quite eloquent at times. Still we shall not be surprised to learn that Harry Wright decides not to contest tho Ymlr district again. We were advise,! by the newspaper organs that defended tho Kalen island deal to wait until the publication of the evidence in full before forming any conclusions as to the propriety or otherwise of the deal. For several days now printed copies of the evidence have been tn the possession of these newspapers, but so far the only papers that have quoted therefrom have been the Cranbrook Herald and the New Westminster News, both liberal aud opposed lo the deal. In connection with the publication ot the evidence in this case It Is significant that the findings of the minority are omitted, whilst the findings of the majority are given in full, And now the Nicola {Star takes up tbe "Better Tonus" question and proceeds to throw new light upon the subject. By the time the country tory organs have got through with their explanations those who have wasted tlm.* reading tbem wlll be tn a sad state of mental confusion. The Star asserts, wltb that reckless disregard ot the truth that characterizes the utterances of a section of tha lll-lnformed conservative press, that liberal Papers have condemned premier McBride for not accepting the offer of 1100.000 a year for ten years, In addition to the permanent Increase ln the allowance to the province of $126,000 a year, as a final settlement of British Columbia's case. No liberal paper has condemned premier McBride on tbose grounds. The censure passed upon the premier was because of the way In which he jeopardized British Columbia's interest by quitting the conference without making an honest effort to secure really better terms. The official records show thst even after the conference had decided that the best that could be done for this province was to recommend that an additional million dollars, over and above the proposed Increase of $125,000 a year, that finance minister Fielding urged premier McBride not to withdraw altogether. He undertook to Induce the conference to reopen tho question with a view of a re-adjustment by which some further concessions might be secured, Fielding's proposal waa to replace the million dollars to b. paid In ten years by an arrangement to Inert*-* British Columbia's annual allowance by MUST BE SOLD TODAY We have instructions to offer tor today only, a 4-roomed bouse and two lots, one block from Baker street.

The province would have benefitted materially had Fielding's suggestion been adopted by conference and tn the reopening of the question there Is no knowing what fresh beneficial results might have ensued. But premier McBride apparently realized that such a settlement might be arrived at as would deprive him of a grievance In the approaching provincial campaign and he preferred to return to Victoria and pose as the valiant fighter who slnglehanded opposed (he onslaughts of the wicked Qrlt government.

It should be amended and strengthened without delay. It ls well understood by the public, who have anxiously watched this dispute, that, there would have been no strike had the matter of complaint or tho object sought to be attained been submitted to a mass meeting of the working miners, or had our Canadian laws, as they should, prohibited the official, and especially all foreign ofnclal "ordering" of strikes. Such "ordering" by officers or so-called lenders Is sheer tyranny and Is totally opposed to the genius or spirit of Canadian free Institutions. It may he "the thing" ln the adjoining republic, but should be an absolute Impossibility! under our more equitable Canadian laws. Equally Impossible should It be for a union to Increase its membership by any sort or form of compulsion directed against the worker who prefers to retain his freedom and his manhood. Tbls division of society into so called workers and capitalists Is a socialistic mistake, for most capitalists ln this country at least, have risen .from the ranks of labor, and have risen because of their industry and attention to duty, and never cease to be ,workers In the truest sense.

Oil City, Ont. INTERNATIONAL UNIONS SOME REFLECTIONS ON THB RECENT COAL MINERS' STRIKE CANADIAN OR IMPERIAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS. Editor, The Dally News: There can be no possibility of successfully controverting the fact that the recent settlement of the Fernle coal strike is a victory In which all right thinking Individuals, be they miners or mine owners, can heartily rejoice. Citizens too who belong to neither the one class nor the other, but who have the true Interests of the province at heart, may also rejoice ln the settlement effected by tht shrewd diplomacy of manager Lindsey and the good senae of representative Burke. There appear to be a few disgruntled Individuals who are not satisfied with the settlement of the strike, but these belong to the hopelessly prejudiced type of strike fomenters and company haters; and their action In trying to block the agreement ts to be severely reprobated; while all good citizens must earnestly hope that their appeal to president Mitchell may be a dismal and deserved failure. But what, I ask, should president Mitchell have to do with either the settlement or the ordering of such strikes? It Is an outrage on the Canadian people that any foreigner should have the power to atop the wheels of our industries, or even to start them revolving again. I am not one who objects to the union of any class of workers for their own material or Intellectual benefit, but 1 do as a Canadian most strenuously object to any subordinate connection with such unions ln a foreign country. All Buch organizations in Canada should be purely and distinctly Canadian, and should be subject to Canadian laws and to these alone. But there is need of further legislation In order to meet and prevent such crises aa that by which the Industries of southern British Columbia have been Imperilled uy the tyrannical action of a few schemy individual!) "dressed In a little brief authority." What should be the nature of such legislation? Obviously there should be enacted laws that would prevent either strikes or lockouts, and which would ensure the submission of all disputes between employers, under public franchises, and their employees to compulsory arbitration. Conductors of merely private Industries might possibly claim exemption, but should not. Those, however, who are carrying on enterprises of a public or semi-public nature have no reason to object to legislative Interference In the public Interest. During the progress of this unfortunate strike the question of arbitration was more than once suggested, hut as such arbitration could only he had by the voluntary action of both parties to the dispute the suggestion was without result The "Arbitration and Conciliation Aot" now on the statutes of the province Is defective in that it falls to provide for compulsory arbitration In Is Uk* TrytaB to «.-*.

I took a pili for a long time which was prescribed by the late Dr. C. It. Church. of Ottawa. Also for many months I took a pill prescribed by Dr. A. F. Rogers, of Ottawa. Nothing seemed to do me any Rood. Finally I was advised by Dr. Rogers to try "Fruit-a-tives", and after taking them for a few months 1 feel I am completely well from this horrible complaint. I bave had no trouble -with this complaint now for a long time, and I con certainly state that "Fruit-n-lives" is the only medicine I eve*_,toolt tlmt did me any positive good for constipation.

ZINC IN THE INTERIOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. * XII. , Arrow Lake Mining District—The "Big Ledge" situated on the west side of tbe Uppsr Arrow lake hss been reported as probably the largest zinc deposit ln the province ol British Columbia. According to the mining recorder —Walter Scott of Nakusp—this deposit extends the length of 23 claims. These are situated on Bald mountain on the west side of Plngston creek, almost opposite Halcyon Hot Springs, about 3000 feet above the upper Arrow lake. They are reached by a wagon road about 8 miles In length, starting from the mouth of Plngston creek. The claims mentioned by Mr. Scott. Ml wblch the deposit Is well exposed, are the White Heather, Empress, Dc- langer, Anna S., Maple Leaf, Ontario, Forest Chief and Monarch, which he- long to Messrs. Savage, Symons and others. . Mr. R. W. Brock, of the Geological Survey department, visited these claims In 1808, spending, however, only a few hours In the examination of the Excelsior and Iron Cap claims. His description ls as follows: "Tbe rocks are crystalline schists and limestones, cut by gnelsslc granite The "Big Ledge," where seen, occurred ln a quartzose schist. Near the deposit the rocks are highly decompose":. On the east side of the ledge a mas- Hive-looking rock, which might be a decomposed granite, appears to cut tbe schists. Tbe ledge consists of a considerable width of solid sulphides, pyrlte. pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrlte, with blebs of quartz and grains of a green mineral, apparently hornblende. The contact with, the schists ls Indefinite, the sulphides gradually becoming less abundant and occurring as almond-like patches, then finely disseminated ln a highly slllclous matrix and Anally giving out. where massive the sulphides are covered by three or four feet of gossan. The rocks nearby are also decomposed to a rusty product, in cavities of which iron stalactites of fantastic form are present. A tunnel had been started and for its entire length of 20 feet wss In solid sulphides. The width of the ledge was, at the time of my visit, Impossible to determine. It was said to he traceable throughout the length of 10 claims. The Iron sulphides formed thc bulk of the "ore" at the points where the ledge was seen, but zinc blende ranked next in abundance, and It is not Impossible, If the ledge has the dimensions popularly attributed to It, thst at some ! points the zinc blende may assume commercial proportions," I WeH-lewaet -Mining Division.—Two i mineral claims Bituated In this min- I Ing division have been brought to the notice of the commission by the Revel- ; stoke board of trade as containing zinc In such quantities as to be commercially valuable. These claims are I known aa the Donald and Round Hill, and are situated on Flat creek about one and one-half miles directly north of the Canadian Paclllc railway at an altitude of about 2000 (eet above the track. They are reached by a trail about three mllea In length. The Donald claim la owned by David Woolsey, William Bison, ud John Lawson, all ot Revelstoke, while tho Bound Hill claim Is owned by A. O. H. Howard-Potts, of Victoria, B. C. The Round Hill adjoins the Donald to the northeast. The ore occurs ln two purallol veins which run through both properltes in a northeasterly and south*: westely direction. The vein on which most o( the mining development work on the Donald lias been done ls stated to be 9 feet 8 Inches ln width with a dip at tho surface of 71 degrees, although in going down this dip flattens out to about 40 degrees. The second parallel vein Is situated 104 feet lower down the mountain and has a width of about 12 fcot. The devolpntent work consists of a shaft 84 feet In depth and a tunnel 800 foot In length, which should r-acK the vein at a depth of 325 feet. The buildings Include a cabin and a blacksmith's shop. The information from which the above description has been prepared was supplied by Mr. David Woolsay, of RevelBtoke. Tho tollowing is the result of analysis of a very pure specimen of zinc blende from the Donald mine by Mr. M. Y. Connor of the Geological Survey department. The sample was received ■from an independent source: Lead, 0.19 per cent; copper, none; zinc 54.27 per cent; iron, 9.77 per cent; insoluble, 0.08 per cent; gold, none; silver. 0.30 oz. per ton. Lardeau Mining Divlslon-The mining recorder of this division writes from Camborne that two of the silver-lead properties show a considerable percent- am of zinc. The Sirdar mineral claim on Goat mountain has 4 feet of zinc blende, assaying 52 per cent, while at the Beatrice mine on Mohawk creek, where considerable mining operations have boon carried on, there are 3000 tons of zinc ore available which wll show an average assay of 33 per cent of zinc. It is stated that most of the ore from this mine contains frorri 14to 20 per cent of zinc, somei o'«» ore occasionally running as high at 35 per CeTlie mining recorder of Trout _Lake mining division writes that the Sllver C, p and Nettle L. mines, owned by he Ferguson Mines Co., Limited of which Mr Geo ge Alexander of Knslo, l- manager, are shipping ore which contains about 10 per cent of zinc. The ore ol the Triune mine of whicli Mr. John Morton of Ferguson Is manager, is said to contain about 16 per ccn of zinc A very small percentage of tine occurs In tho Lucky Boy mine. On the Old Gold, situated on the w.est fork of Duncan river and on which considerable development work has been done, a large percentage of zinc Is said lo occur. _ An undeveloped property known as the "J C." situated at the head of lake crock, is also said to contain considerable zinc ore. Mr, William Simpson writes from Howser that the Irene mine on which between six and seven hundred feet ot tunnelling has been done, has a considerable body of ore made up of galena and zinc blende. This mine is the pro- pertv of thc Irene Mining Co., of Wal- laee'dahd, and Is situated on the east side of Duncan river, about 10 miles above Hcaly's.

KILBV, Secretary. were rescued Included every person who was on the open deck of the little, steamer Dlx when she plunged .down stern foremost into 100 fathoms of water. It Ib doubtful whether she can be raised. Beattle, Nov, 19-The steamer Dlx, Capt. Pleermon bound from Seattle to Port Blak- ley with passengers, sank two miles north of Alkl point, shortly after 7 o'clock last night, hnving collided with the steamer Jennnle, Captain F. H. Maosn of the Alaska Coast Co. Forty-three passengers and members of the crew of the Dix are hilaslng and 30 were saved. The Dlx Ib a total wreck. The Jeannle was not Injured In the least. The master of the Dix watt saved. The women, who had littlt? chance for their lives, stayed with the sinking vessel and were drowned as In a trap. "I got away from Smith Cove a little before i o'drek mid laid a course for Tacoma," suld captain Mason. "I had no passengers aboard. 1 saw the Dlx headed for Port Blakeley and signalled to her. Soon she came in asiurn of men and s arte-] directly across my bows. I .signalled to tne engineers for full speed astern, but we could not get out of the In time. The Jeannle was hacking a little when we struck her, well abaft of amidships. Tne shock did not t-eom enough to have Injured an ordinary launch. The Dix listed heavily to star-board, righted herself and then sank stern first." Captain Pleermon, master of the Dlx, told the story of the collision after arriving at Seattle: "I don't know how it happened," he said. "Charles Dennlson, mate of the Dlx, was at the wheel. We were Juat about two miles north of Alkl point and running at the usual speed. It was a clear, night and the water was like a mill- pond. I had seen the lights of a steamer on our starboard quarter some time be- fore, but had not paid any attention to them. There were 70 passengers and It was quite a tank to get nil the fares. I had been on that run for 13 years and knew everyone aboard. When 1 was in thc ladles' cabin I heard the bell signal to Mop, and I knew something must be wrong and hurried forward. Just as 1 got on deck 1 saw a vessel looming up on the starboard side and almost Instantly she struck us, The Jibboom crashed through 'the Dlx Just aft of amidships nnd hurled her over like a top. She lay there for a minute or two with the water rushing In all over. I was thrown against the dock house for an In* i-tant, the breath knocked out of me and 1 was almost paralysed. The steamer lay on her port beam for what seemed to be about two minutes und then heeled book to starboard. There was another rush or water, cries nnd screams of men, women and children. From below came awful sounds. "Many of the passengers were penned there and could not possibly escape, The bow of the Dlx began to rise and her si«rn went slowly down until until the bow was standing; straight half out of the water. For an instant I clung to the railing. The sight filled me with terror. Lights were still burning and I could see people lnisde the cabin. The expressions on their faces were ot lndesvrlba-ble despair, They fought desperately to gain the deck and their shouts and cries were awful. People on deck slid off Into the water and went down ■ihrlek.nR and desperately clutching at the tvater towards the Jennnle, which still loomed only a few yards away. Some of the passengers who had been on deck at the time of the collision, jumped to the tigging of the Jcannle's bowsprit and in .his way clambered up to safety. When ihe Dix began to go down I leaped into .he water and managed to keep my-seir afloat. All around me were floating heads mil we watched the-Jeannle as she slow- •y came to us and dropped boats which moved hore and there picking up men in -■very direction. Finally a bout came to ne. I had been in the water about ten minutes. When 'we Were taken on board he Jeannle I found that 96 of our 70 paa- -engers ani crew had -been saved. The rest were drowned. * "There was no sign of my little steamer. •Jim was gone completely and before we left there was not even a ripple to show the plaee where the tragedy had occurred. I don't think she was very badly damaged *>y the collision, it was. the keeling over an her port beam that caused her loss. She tilled with water as soon as the went over and that took her down. As to the cause of the accident I cannot say. I was not on deck and don't know or understand how It happpened. This Is the first acoldent that has happened on any ship of mine since I have been running on Puget Sound." CRAPSEY IS SUSPENDED BUFFAIX) DIVINE FINALLY CONVICTED OF HERESY. WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE-TRUE CLASHED WITH CHURCH Buffalo, Nov. 19.—Rev. Algernon 3. Crapsey, D.D., of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, is condemned to suspension from the church aa a result ot the decision of the Protestant Episcopal court of review juat made public here. The court of review sustains the decision of the lower court and the decision of the lower court was that Dr. Crapsey Bhould he suspended for alleged heretical teaching. The announcement of the decision was made as follows: "The court of .review has affirmed unanimously the decision of the lower court In the case of Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey, D.D." The Crapsey case has attracted wide attention since the publication of Dr. Crapsey's book on religion and politics and also since he preached a number of sermons tn which tt ts charged against htm that he taught doctrines which were contrary to the fatth of the Protestant Episcopal church. Dr. Crapsey In reply to these charges contended that he preached only according to what he believed to be the truth. He contested the proceedings against htm vigorously and among the counsel he employed was Edward M. Shepard, one of the most noted lawyers tn New York, The charges against him were first heard by an ecclesiastical court at Batavla and after a trial which attracted wide attention, the court reported a verdict sustaining the charges. ■ An appeal from this decision, which was Immediately taken, and heard hy the board of review ot the Protestant Episcopal church, whtch met hers ln New York. The sessions extended over a period of several weeks and the noted counsel who appeared for and against Dr. Crapsey In Batavla again appeared and reargued the case. The final session of the hoard of review was held last week and at Its conclusion the announcement was made that a decision had been reached. This decision, which was announced today, apparently brings the Crapsey case to an end.
