TnrUeAmnlRniuntrt! Anelation Men Have Struck. CHICAfiO. A up. ID. A decided sensation was created to-niht among the fcteel workers In tho Illinois steel mills at South ChleRo, when twelve of the Amalgamated men quit work and decided to join the general strike, of the steel workers. These nm heretofore have steadfastly refused to obey President Shaffer's order to strike. As soon asA'ice President Davis, of the Fourth district, was Informed of the step these men had taken h wired President Shaffer that If he would come to Chicago at once and call a Joint meeting of the two local lodges the remainder of the 50 Amalgamated mn employed In the South Chicago mills could be induced to strike. Mr. Davis expects to bring about another Joint meeting of the Amalgamated lodges during the present week or next Sunday, at which President Shaffer will make a plea for loyalty to the union. If the meeting of the lodges does not bring a strike, or cannot be held, the next move will be a public meting to which all union men of &11 organizations who work in the South Chicago mills will be Invited. Mr. Davis to-night made the prediction that there would be a strike that would close tho Bouth Chicago mills inside of ten days. a MR. TICiHK reports, But Tells Shnflrr Notbln lie Did 'ot Know Trouble Predicted. PITTSBURG. Aug. 15. Assistant Secretary M. F. Tlghc returned from " the West this morning and was closeted for several hours with President Shaffer, lie was given a very enthusiastic reception by his associates and returns a stronger figure in the organization than when he departed. Discussing his repoit 2dr. Shaffer Faid: "All that Mr. Tighe told xne was in tho papers last week and there was nothing aside from this. The Chicago mill men who remained at work are now no longer members of the organization. They are not entitled to a trial and will have none. They are at liberty to act as - they see rit now, but if they go out they will do so on their own responsibility. We will do nothing about the matter from this time. On the whole the strike is going on very well. We are getting out more men every day and will continue to do so. The fight is hardly begun yet. There will be rlenty of trouble for the trust before long f they keep on In their present course. There ha3 been no effort on any one's part toward peace, and there will be none on ouf part again. As to the situation in Duquesne all I can say is thit there has ' been no strike ordered In that mill as yet. 1 said last week that when we were ready that mill would be attended to." Mr. Tighe himself reviewed his trip to the West, and discussed the Chicago men, eaylng: "What the South Chicago men are going to do I do not know. The Building Trades Council of Chicago the other day adopted resolutions condemning the action of the South Chicago men. Chicago workmen are wild with unionism. The South Chicago men are being branded In private and In the papers as "scabs." All this may have an effect on them. I verily believe 'that the men will come back and go on strike. It Is true their charters have been WEATHER FORECAST. Probably Fair and Warmer Throughout Indiana To-Day. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.

Warned to Ilennre If They Give Order to Fire 011 .Striker. riTTSIiunC, Aug. 13.-Di?patchos from Somerset, Pa., where the Second Brigade of the National Guard of Pennsylvania Is in camp, report that a number of anonymous letters have been received by the regimental commanders containing threats In connection with possible strike duty by the soldiers. A fair sample Is the following: "Dear Sir In case your command Is callo! upon to do duty against the steel strikers, don't forget that there are many laboring men and union men in your regiments, and watch where you stand when you give an order to tire." The matter has been placed in tho hands of the United States postal authorities, and an investigation is said to be in progress. Nothing could be learned In Pittsburg, as Postoftice Inspector O'Brien is out of the city. Cloned Indefinitely. MILWAUKEE. Wis., Aug. 13.-The Illinois Steel Company to-day posted a notice at the Bayview plant reading as follows: "Owing to the deliberate action of the Amalgamated Association in violating their contract these mills will be closed indefinitely. Employes are Invited to call at the office and receive the wages due' them." Many of the strikers at Bayview have decided to go camping in the country. Several of the leaders expressed themselves as being of opinion that a settlement between the Amalgamated Association and the steel trust would be reached within a few days. There will be no necessity of picketing the mlHs. the men say, as no attempt will be made to start tho plant with nonunion men. Situation at Joliet. JOLIET, III., Aug. 13.-Kumors are In circulation that the steel mill managers are preparing to start the mills this week with the aid of resident nonunion men. Members of the four Amalgamated lodges, whosa strike on Friday tied up the mills, held a protracted session to-day. There were no important developments as the result of the meeting. The lodges will meet again at 2 p. m. Wednesday. An attempt to resume work at the Pressed Steel Car Company's plant was not a success. Less than luu out of 5u0 men reported for work. Superintendent Alman to-day said he would pay the strikers off to-morrow, and if the men still refused to return the mill would be closed. Vote on Working Foreign Plates. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. lO.-TIic tin plate workers of Anderson's big tin plate mill held a secret meeting to-day and after a long discussion voted on the proposition to :.efuse to work the black plates said to be shipped from Wales by the management of tho company, for use in tho Anderson plant. The result is still a secret, but many of the local men regard themselves as bound to return to work on the call of the company. The mills of the State will vote and the majority vote of the men will determine. It is the belief here that Anderson tin plate workers will not vote in favor of retusing to work the imported plates. Snecesafnl First Day's Canvass. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Aug. 13. The soliciting committee of Amalgamated men made its first day's canvass to-day for the steel workers' strike fund, and met with good success, several hundred dollars being col lected.

(CONCLUDED FROM FI "1ST PAGE.) aways on the steamer, and that the live children known to have been on board the steamer were either drowned or died of exposure. So it is possible that the loss of life will reach over seventy. STORY OF THE PILOT. Aeeount of the Disaster as Told by the 3Ian in Charge of the Steamer. VICTORIA. B. C, Aug. 13. Pilot Lablanc, who had charge of the steamer Islander at the time she struck, says: "The night was" fine, and, as we always expect to meet ice, a sharp lookout was kept. About 2:4S a. m. the crash came. The boat was under full speed and no ice was In sight, and there was no fog, but the wind was blowing and It was dark and cloudy. The fatal berg was no doubt even with the water. After she struck I stopped the engines, when Captain Foote appeared with tho night watchman, who reported the ship leaking forward. I told Captain Foote that we would better head fcr the beach, but he demurred, and when he decided to do so the ship was taking water so fast that she would not answer her helm. Then I called the mate and ordered the boats. This was done, and they were lowered with passengers. Many passengers Jumped overboard with life preservers on. I Jumped overboard, and was in the water two hours and a quarter before securing a piece of wreckage." The pilot also said that many of the men acted badly, attempting to Jump into the boats before they had been launched. Had it not been for this crowding and rushln he thinks all would have been saved, with the possible exception of those who did not get out of their staterooms, among whom were Andrew Keating and his two sons. Arthur and Julius, of Los Angeles. The crew, on the other hand, behaved splendid ly and looked to the safety of the passen gers. After the boats had been launched the crew turned their attention to the rafts, but these were al$o rushed, and after they had been launched some of the crew had to swim for wreckage, as there were too many on the rafts. Ho believes the Islander sank in twenty-three fathoms, and that the boiler did not explode, but that the overwork was carried away by a rush of water and air. He figures forty-two persons were drowned. A number of passengers of the wrecked steamer Islander tell of their thrilling ex perlences during the disaster. M. Blumaur, or Cortland, who was bringing out a satchel containing $14.0 in Klondike gold, rushed up to the upper deck when the boat was settling by head. and Captain Foote told him there was little danger. Soon there was a rush for the boats and when he was boarding the life boat he was afraid to throw his satchel of gold down from the deck into the boat before steadying down into a place for fear that the weight of the gold would stave a hole through the life boat and thus cause the loss of the lives of thoso in the boat, as well as losing his own chances of safety. He concluded to abandon his gold, and cropping the satchel on the. deck,, he slid clown Into the water and was hauled to the boat, thankful to have saved hi3 life, though he lost his treasure. Sam Starten, of Winnipeg, also dropped a satchel laden with $4.h0 In gold, and a friend lost his portmanteau with $3,000 in gold in It. and each escaped to tell the story: while one man, who bad Just come out from the Klondike (his name unknown) Is reported to have taken his portmantaeu from the care of the purser, Mr. Bishop, and with the grip containing dust amounting to $40,0V in value, grasped firmly in his hand, jumped from the sinking steamer to a boat close by, and failing to reach the boat, he went down together with his treasure, to rise no more. D. H..Hart, a Klondike king, had Jio.ooo in gold dust which he abandoned, jumped into the last teat, and reached shore tardy. N. A. Belcourt, of Ottawa, and George Ray, of Ottawa, were asleep when the accident happened. Being unable to open their state room door, they broke out through the window and jumped from the upper deck Into the life boat. A passenger who arrived by the Queen says that on Thursday morning when the tide turned it brought in a large quantity of debris of the wreck. Including parts of cabin stores, state rooms, trunks, etc. The Indians looted the wreckage.' smashing trunks with axes and carrying off valuables. On Saturday evening a concert was given on the steamer Queen for the sufferers and r2 was raised, which was given Into the care of United States Consul A. J. Smith, of Victoria, who was a passenger on the Queen. TOLD IiV CONSUL SMITH. United States Official's Story of the Wreck, as He Learned It. VICTORIA. B. C.. Aug. 13.-Unifed States Consul Smith, of Victoria, who wus a passenger on the Queen, from Juneau to Victoria, gleaned the following story of the wreck of the " steamer Islander, which truck an iceberg off Douglas island, last
Thursday, from the survivors, forty
of whom were passengers on the Queen: The Islander left Skagway. for vic toria, on Wednesday evening, the 14th Inst., at 6 p. m., with 125 passengers and a crew of sixty-one men on board and ten or twelve stowaways. All went well, the steamer making her usual record of fifteen knots on hour, until at 3 o'clock Thursday morning, when Jur.eau was issed. and the south end of Douglas sland was reached. Then, suddenly, the steamer encountered an obstruction, sata to have been an iceiertr. and stopped with i jerk, which aroused many of the sleep ing passenger?. 'Pilot Lablanc was in charge of the steamer at the time, and went immediate ly to the dining room, where Captain Foote was having breakfast, and notified him of the trouble. As soon, as the vessel struck water rushed In forward in great volumes and the Pilot advised that the vessel be run on the leach, not over half a mile distant, at once. To this the cap tain objected, saying the beach was too abrupt. He thought there was no immediate danger, but would run a few miles further down, where he knew there was a good landing. The captain assured several passengers that there was no immediate danger and thftt they could go baclC to bed and sent the first officer down to ex amine. The officer reported there was great danger, and urged that the essel be beached at once. The first otficer ordered the boats down. but this order was countermanded by the captain, who, however, finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and allowed the first officer to get down the boats. "Meanwhile the passengers, aroused to their peril, appeared on leck, and a rush was made to the purser wno had been given treasure for safe keeping. Purser Bishop handed all out except two bags of $10.U"0 each, which were not claimed, and went down with the vessel. The bow of the steamer steadily sunk, and twenty minutes from the time it struck the front deck was under water and the stem, with propeller and rudder, were high in the air and useless. The captain remained on the bridge until the last and finally jumped on a life raft, where he stayed a few minutes, when the steamer dove forward entirely out of sight. As It did so an explosion occurred and the captain lost his hold on the life raft and sank. DENSE FOG PREVAILED. "Considerable difficulty was experienced In ascertaining the location of the shore, though it was only a short distance away, owing to the dense fog prevailing. Finally, Walter G. Preston, of Seattle, who, with his bride, was cm his wedding trip, both of whom were saved in the last boat which left the wreck, heard water trickling down the rocks, and all the boats reached shore. A number jumped off the steamer into the water and were rescued from there only to die from exhaustion in the intense cold. Several were recovered only after four or five hours of continuous hard work by their comrades." Among the passengers lost were Mrs. Governor Ross, of Dawson, child and niece, and Dr. John M. Duncan, of Victoria. The doctor was seen with a life-prrserver about him, but no one saw Mrs. Ross, and it was thought that Duncan lost his life in a futile attempt to rescue Mrs. Ross and family just as the steamer sank. At Juneau, Consul Smith saw Dr. Phillips, of Seattle, who escaped, but who lost his wife and child. The doctor insisted no one called at his state room, lie felt tne snock and says his wife told him to go up and see what the trouble was. He demurred at first, but when he heard movements, decided to do so, and told his wife to dress quickly. They all got out as soon as they could by breaking open the door. as tney got on aecK tne steamer was sinking. Before they could jump off they were caught in the suction and carried to the ventilating shaft. His wife and child were drewned. He himself was caught, but his head struck, cutting his eye severely and preventing him from go ing down the shaft. He went down with the staeamer, caught hold of some wreckage, was helped on shore, and resuscitated lie eaneu ior nis wue ana cnua ana soon his little girl s body was brought to him. He said he would not leave Juneau until he recovered his wife's body. M. Green, of Vancouver, was awakened by the steward and got on a life raft with about a dozen others. They shoved clear about twelve feet when they heard a noise like a slight explosion. He does not be lieve the boilers exploded, for there was not enough wreckage in sight. The raft drifted toward the stem of the ship about twenty-five feet when the stern was lifted high in the air, fully twenty-five feet, and the ship went down, bow foremost. This movement of the ship kept the raft from being dragged down witn the suction of the sinking vessel. The raft was very deop in the water and kept swinging and tilting, but every one managed to hold on. They were in the water about two hours when a boat came out and took them ashore. The Islander was the largest vessel of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company. She was built at Glasgow at a cost of $200,000, and arrived at Victoria Dec. 9, 1S3S, and was put on the Victoria and Vancouver route. She has since been engaged in the Vancouver trade, occasionally going to Alaska and the Columbia river. She was a twin-screw steamer, 240 feet long. 42 feet beam, and 14.8 hold. She possessed great speed, had accommodations for sev erai Hundred passengers ana a large freight capacity.' HARROWING EXPERIENCES. How Chief Engineer Drownlce and Others Were Saved. ICTORIA, H. C. Aug. 13. Chief Engln eer Brownlee encountered the captain just as he left his room, who inquired if she was taking any water. "I told htm," says Mr. Brownlee, "that within a very few min utes she would be under, and the captain proceeded to the deck." Continuing, the chief engineer says he received telegraphic orders of full speed astern, and "full sped ahead," but was absolutely impossible to carry them out. By this time the boat had settled to such an extent that the propeller was out of the water, and consequently could not work. He rushed to the deck and explained the situation to the captain. While there he saw tho lifeboats, six in number, and the life rafts launched. This was done very successfully. Having told the captain that he could do nothing, the chief engineer returned below as the second and third engineers were in the engine room, awaiting their, orders. He told them to get out and save themselves, as in a few minutes the steamer would sink. The other two grabbed life-preservers from their rooms and the three rushed for the dining-room, on their way to the deck. But it was Impossible to reach the stairs forward. The ship was half full of water which was pouring in the saloon. "We thought we were caught in a trap," said the chief, "but managed to keep our heads, or I would not be here now. We ran and climbed over the stanchion and on to the deck. We were not there more than a few seconds when the ship went down." George Allen, the third engineer, Brownlee btrlieves, jumped overboard . and must have struck the prcpellor. He never saw him again. Mr. Brownlee and the second ent.;iHcr hung to the tailing at the stern as i. ii as they cculd get, that place being the ...- part which was not under water. As the ship went down they were still there. With them was an old gentleman from Vancouver, named Morgan. When they came to the surface Morgan and Brownlee caught hold of a piece of wreckage and just then Dr. Phillips, of Seattle, popped up and grasped the same piece. It was only a frail support at best, and Phillips was in a terrible state of mind, having just seen his wife and daughter drown In a whirlpool formed by the sinking of the ship Another man was observed struggling in the water, and the end of the wreckage was passed to him. He was one of the oilers, named Burke. Thus there were three men clinging to one frail piece of wreckage. Suddenly the fog which had wrapped all in obscurity lifted, and Mr. Brownlee discovered a quantity of wreckage not far away. He succeeded in seizing enough for a small raft. By this time his legs were so numb with cold that he could not move, and he was compelled to rub and pinch them persistently to restore circulation. He first hauled Dr. Phillips aboard, and after much exertion succeeded In reviving him. The two then hauled Burke aboard, but the unfortunate man was too far gone, and mumuring something about being cold, expired on tho raft. More wreckage was secured, and the dimensions of the raft increased. The two men realized that unless they reached shore or were speedily, it would be all over They commenced paddling In. took to be. the direction of picked up with them, what they the shore. rinauy aiitr wnm in me water aoo'it an hour they were hailed by Purser Bishop and a boatload of rescuers. Thev did not at once go to the shore, but continued to row back and forth in the vicinity of the wreck, picking up here and there a body or rescuing some benumbed person clinging desperately to portions of wreckage. The boat was soon filled with the living and dead, and then it made for the shore. Here efforts were made to resuscitate those overcome by exposure, some of which efforts were successful and others futile. Mr. Brownlee, the mate, and ,1 11-- - V. . . 1 2 .1 - . ,
several others got into a boat nd started

CASE OF MRS. HOSS. Wife of the Governor of Yukon Terri tory One of the Victim. VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 13.-The case of Mrs. Ross, one of the victims, is a peculiarly sad one. She left Victoria a short time ago to join her husband, who was recently appointed Governor of the Yukon territory. It is only a few days sinco she left her parents in this city, Mr. and Mrs. John Mackay, with whom she had been visiting for a few months, to take up her residence in the Y'ukon territory, and a letter received a few clays ago told of her plans for the future, it was for the purpose of carrying out these plans that she was on her way to Ictorla, it being her intention to purchase furniture and furnishings fnr the new homo of the Governor. She left live of her children in Dawson, but brought the youngest, an infant, with her. together with a niece, the daughter of her brother, living In Dawson. According to the stories told by some of the passengers the proportion of the women saved was small. When the survivors were brought ashore some of them were so numb and disheartened and had so little life left in them that they begged to be left alone, or left to their death. CAPTA1X 1'OOTirS DEATH. Drowned Himself Rather Than Peril Others Two Firemen Heroes. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 13.-A special to the Times from Victoria, B. C, says the steamer Queen left for Seattle at ? o'clock, carrying a number of survivors of the wreck, and the Farrallon Is expected soon. Purser Bishop is expected on the Farrallon with an additional list of dead. The death of Captain Foote was very pathetic. He remained on the bridge until the uteamcr was foundering. When the vessel commenced to sink and it was seen there was no earthly expedient that could avail the captain, it is said. Jumped into the life raft, which was already taxed for accommodations. Realizing that his weight would work havoc there, he exclaimed: "I see there are too many here, so good-bye, boys," and swan away. He was shortly afterward seen to sink. Chief Engineer Brownlee had a marvelous escape. He was asleep and was awakened by Third Engineer Allen ringing his bell. He ran to the engine room. There two firemen died heroes soon after he arrived. Tbey were ordered to close the "top wheel" and shut off the water which was rushing from the forward part of the vessel. They tried to do so, and were drowned. Brownlee went down with the steamer nnd was standing on the upptr deck holding the top rail when the steamer slid down by the head. He rose from the whirlpool and grasped some wreckage. Dr. Phillips, of Seattle, came up after him and together they clung to the wreckage until they were picked up. AMONG THU LAST TO LEAVE. Experlenee of X. A. Heleotirt, M. P, and Gen. C. Hay. VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 13. N. court, M. P., and Gen. C. Ray, of A.' BelOttawa, were traveling companions on a Dawson. Mr. Belcourt said the trip to steamer was running at full speed, and while possibly no fog had been encountered up to or immediately preceding the collision, a dense fog prevailed when the accident happened. At first Mr. Belcourt did not think anything serious had happened, and as the boat appeared to be keeping on Its way, he thought of again returning to bed. from which he had arisen when the shock was felt. Presently he heard a commotion among the passengers and felt a bumping motion of the steamer. On trying to open his stateroom door he was unable to do so. Mr. Ray tried and was also unsuccessful. The concussion had evidently Jammed the framework of the cabin, -which caught the doors like a vise. Mr. Belcourt and Mr. Ray got out of the window. The former returned to procure a life preserver, but, failing to find one, immediately got out again, and, getting upon the railing of the steamer, instantly jumped to a boat that he saw below. He was one of the last to leave the steamer, and not more than a few minutes elapsed from the time he got out of his cabin first until he made his leap in the dark. Fortunately, he alighted on the shoulders of one of the passengers- in the last boat to leave the steamer. Messrs. Belcourt and Ray were in the small boat one hour and a half before reaching shore, which, however, was not more than a mile away, but owing to the fog could not be made out. Few Died on the Steamer. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 13.-The steamer Farallon arrived here this afternoon from Skagway, bringing the remainder of the passengers who narrowly escaped from the wreck of the Islander. The total number of dead Is placed at forty-two, although the Farallon did noc bring an official list of the drowned. According to the statement of passengers arriving to-day very few people died on board the steamer, but most of them perished in the water and around the rafts and ship as the latter went down. The Prestons Well Known. OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 19. Walter G. Treston and wife, who were rescued from the wrecked steamer Islander, at Victoria, were married in this city three weeks ago and were well known here. Preston was in business in Omaha for many years before going to Seattle. His wife's parents reside in this city. MORE SILKS SEIZED. Xevr Invoice of Eighteen Cases Imported from Japan. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. A new invoice of eighteen cases of silk imported from Japan was reported to George R. Bid well, collector of the port, by Appraiser Wakeman for seizure to-day. With the seizure to-day the government will have taken charge f forty cases of silk, weighing more than 10.000 pounds and valued at more than $G4,00. The duty on the silks which have already been seized will amount to more than $30.000. while under the methods carried en in the division before the frauds wcVe discoveied the importers would probably have paid only $3.000 on the lot. Great Britain Threatens. LONDON. Aug. 20. "Sir Ernest Satow has notified the Chinese peace plenipotentiaries," says a dispatch to the Times from Peking, dated Aug. 13, "that unless the decrees for the punishment of the authors of the Chu-Chau massacre are carried out forthwith Gret Britain will reconsider the arrangements for the withdrawal of the British troops." The Times, recalling editorially the circumstances of the Chu-Chau massacre, says: "The fact that it occurred in the British sphere of Influence justifies Sir Ernest Satow's demand and menace, the significance of which will be comprehended by the Chinese plenipotentiaries and the absentee court." Knox May Answer To-Day. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Th letter was delivered to Attorney General Knox late today by a special messenger. Mr. Knox will forward his answer soon, probably to-morrow. It will be brief scarcely more, in fact, than an acknowledgment of the receipt of the letter. While the attorney general refuses to discuss the matter, It Is understood he takes the view that, if he had posses.-lon of a copy of such agreement by virtue of his relation as counsel to the Carnegie Company, to accede to the request made of hl?n would tie a grois violation of the confidence of a client. Grave of Hurled Hopes. Brooklyn Eagle. India put a shovelful of silver on the grave of Mr. Bryan's hopes, with the remark that since it adopted the gold standard It has been better off than ever before in Its life.
