The Bl^irmore'a masts lie level with the bay bottom under seven fathoms of water, and not a sign of the sailor's sunken tomb is visible above the waves. The unfortunates who lost their lives were:
T. Ludwig, first mate. Henry Clark, seaman. Roland Siegel,. apprentice. G. Reinbaum, seaman. H. Sinstrand, watchman. Sam Kerry, steward. The latter was shipped here, and is a native of Brooklyn.
The squall that caused the disaster was the most severe experienced 011 the south arm of the bay for many years.
The Blairmore, with her head toward the Union iron works, was keeled over so far that a passing towboat captain hailed her and asked Captain Caw, her commander, if he did not wish a tow to the north end of the bay. Meanwhile the squall blew its hardest, the sea wan heavy and the rain fell in torrents. Captain Caw refused a tow, saying ho would hold on a little longer. The tug had scarcely drawn away when the Blairmore gave a sudden lurch, dipped her yards and fell prone on her starboard quarter. The water rushed into her hold in torrents. The rapidly escaping air from the hold blew the water fountain-like as high as the lower yards. The men scrambled wildty out
The Blairmore was comparatively new. She was built at Glasgow in 1893 and was registered 1,767 tons. There were 2G0 tons of ballast in the hold, and it is thought the ballast shifted and covered the bodies. The loss

outer ladder. A passing tug with another vessel in tow dropped her lines and blew for help to speed the rescue, but it was too late. A boat was sent from the British ship Yeoman, 1,000 yards ahead of the Blairmore. In three minutes this boat, was alongside the upturned vessel and picked up the men clinging to Blairmore's sides. Two men had struck out for shore and were picked up by the British ship Cromdale. The Yeoman picked up several, including Captain Caw.
Captain Caw reported to his agents, and to the British consul. He said the wind was blowing as stiffly as he had ever seen it at sea. Both of the Blairmore's anchors were out and he thought they would hold her all right.

ship and furniture will exceed $125,000. The task of raising the Blairmore will be expensive.
MINE FIRE PUT OUT.
Still There Is No Hope For the Seven Imprisoned Meu.
BUTTE, Mon., April 10.—Dispatches from Basin, Mon., are to the effect that the fire in the Hope mine has been extinguished, but that seven imprisoned miners are without doubt dead, as nothing can be heard from them. They are: John Buckley, shift boss Pat Buckley, Martin Sullivan, Hugh McKeown, Barney Wall, Will Belden and E. D. McArthur.
The shaft is filled with burned timbers, but that would not prevent the voices of the men being heard if they were alive and therefore it is positive that they are dead. It will be several days before the bodies can be reached. The cause of the fire is still .unknown.
FIVE DEAD AND FIVE INJURED.

WASHINGTON, April 10.—After being in retirement for several weeks the tariff silver bill was brought forward in the senate yesterday as a text for a speech by Mr, Mantle of Montana, one of .the five Republican senators who voted against considering the tariff. Mr. Mantle defended the course of the silver Republican senators, declaring that the Dingley bill was not framed as a patriotic measure. He urged that unsectional protection should be linked with bimetallism. A sharp tariff colloquy followed between Senators Mills, Hoar, Hawley and Mitchell, as to the effect of the Wilson bill on wool.
Some progress was made on the Indian appropriation bill, but the sectarian school question went over.
The calendar was cleared of all private pension bills after an hour specially devoted to pensions.
FIRST ARRESTS MADE.
A Test Case That Affects Mine Owners ml Merchants Using Metal Checks.
SULLIVAN, Ind., April 10.—The first of a series of arrests under the United States statutes relating to metal coins and tokens and coupons were made by United States Marshal Hawkins at Linton yesterday. If they hold good it will affect all manufacturers, mine owners and merchants who are using metal checks or tokens or coupon books as a matter of convenience or otherwise.
It has been the policy of mine operators to issue to miners before pay day metal checks which were made to represent* money value. Merchants also used these checks, which have been a money equivalent in all mining districts for years. Those arrested include Nathan Dixon of the Summitt Coal company and Finney Strong, president of the Linton Supply company. Some of the tokens were confiscated. The two companies alone have nearly $40,000 in tokens and coupons in circulation.
Murder in Manitoba.
WINNIPEG, April 10.—The village of Holland, near Winnipeg, is excited over a cold blooded murder.

Hannah was the young daughter of a prominent farmer of the district. Yesterday evening Robert Morran, a mail servant in the employ of the young :i:-!'s i'arher, was arrested for the dc« .. •!actives charge that he was crimi :u,iiy intimate with tho young girl.
Husband Charged With Ilig Wife's Deat h.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis., April 10.—The inquest on the death of Mrs. Kate O'Donnell, whose mysterious death in this city has caused a sensation in this section, last night concluded their work, bringing in a verdict that h,er death was caused by strychnine poisoning and that the poison was administered by her husband. It was stated at the inquest that the man wanted to get rid of his wife in order to marry a young woman named Leclaire, with whom he had been intimate and who testified to that effect.
Fishermen on an Icefloe.
ST. JOHN'S, N. F., April 10.—Heavy bodies of arctic ice drove along the shore in the neighborhood of St. John's yesterday, and crowds of fishermen started over the floes in search of seals. A wild snowstorm overtook the fishermen. It is feared that many have been caught and will not be able to return. Much anxiety prevails for the safety of the men as death is almost certain in the storm. When such storms swept the icefields three years ago, 20 lives were lost in a similar manner.

WASHINGTON, April 10.—The treasury yesterday lost $88,600 in gold coin and $25,600 in bars, which leaves the true amount of the gold reserve $127,795,910.

TROUBLE IN COREA.
Japan Sending Warships to Fnsan and Other l'ointg.
NEW YORK, April 10.—A dispatch to The Herald from St. Petersburg says the troubles of which there have been long rumors are at last maturing in Corea.
According to a telegram from Vladivostock to the Novoe Vremya, the last news from Seoul says that the Coreans are determined to exterminate the Japanese, holding them responsible for the murder of the queen. Bands of men have been organized to threaten the Japanese factories. Japan has sent warships to Fusan and other points on the coast.
The Novoe Vremya says that Japan should by this time know Rifcsia's feeling in regard to Oorea that while she does not wish to be there herself, she will not permit any other power to be predominant in the Herat kingdom. Thjp kjng,savs The Novosti, is perfectly fit to rule, and when restored to the thronethe .Russian, troops will retira
Meanwhile,. great mi?' ary activity prevails in Japan. The irmy is being increased. Ipstead of c( asisting of six divisions it ..yirill in the luture be composed of 12, besides another diivision of guards. The number of regiments has been increased from 28 to 52.
MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
John Smith Makes Further Confessions A bout.the Stone Tragedy.
AKRON, O., April. 10.—^Officers have secured a detailed confession from Romulus Cor'telk, alias John Smith, aged 20. regarding the Tallmadge triple murder, but only apart of it has been made public. Smith says the devil told him to commit the crime and how to do it. He had a grudge against the murdered man because he had not paid him $7, still due for his work on the farm.
Smith gained entrance to the house at the back door, and having killed the old people he killed Stillson, the hired man, and attacked Emma Stone, thinking he had killed her. When ho was locked out of the room in which Hattie and Flora Stone had slept he secured a knife from Stillson's pocket and going downstairs slashed the farmer and wife to make sure they were dead.
The mask and base ball bat the murderer used had been secured from the woodshed on the Porter farm, where Smith was employed. It was largely through working upon his religious fears that the confession was secured.
Anson Strong, the man first arrested, will doubtless be released.

CHICAGO, April 10.—Fire caused over $100,000 damage in the J. E. Swartz block, 278 and 286 Madison street, yesterday.

Work of Five Masked Men.
PARIS, Tex., April 10.—Five men, one of whom was masked, went to the residence of Dr. Cooper at Calvin, I. T., last night and demanded his money. They asked for $7,000.
