STEAMER COLON STRIKES

A REEF OFF Big Pacific Liner Now on the Beach in the Harbor at Acajutla. GRAVEYARD FOR SHIPS SAN FRANCISCO. April I2.-Thc Pacific Mail Company's steamship Colon, which left here on March 22 for Panama, has been wrecked near Acajutla, Salvador. She struck on a reef at Punta Remedios and was beached. Nearly all the passengers were saved. The Colon was in command of Captain William A. Irvine, one of the oldest masters in the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. He has for years been In command of steamers of the company on the Panama route and he is considered one of the most careful navigators of the line. There was a big list of passengers In the cabins Of the vessel when she went out of this harbor, but most of them were bound for ports north of Acajutla Those, however, who went from here on the steamer were going through to Panama and would have been aboard of the craft when she struck were: Miss C. N. Powell, Miss II. Olaf son, O. A. Rowan, W. a Vincent. Miss F. Schmid, Lieutenant E. W. Wood, M. T. C. Dee Chasse. the Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Printer and the Rev. and Mrs. S. V. Dillc. The vessel had left Acajutla yesterday afternoon bound for Panama, and she had only gone about fifteen miles when she hit on the rock. The reef where the vessel struck is considered one of the most dangerous along the Central American coast, and many vessels have found graves on It. According to seafaring men who know the reef the steamer was fortunate in'getting afloat after striking and getting back to the harbor of Acajutla. The Colon was built in Philadelphia in 1S73 and was a sister ship of the Collma, which was lost oft Manzanillo about seven years ago. The Colon was one of the first Pacify mall steamers to be taken as a transport when the ships were neefJed by the United States to send volunteer soldiers to the Philippines. She made many trips across the Pacific in fhe transport service. PANAMA, April 12. The Colon went ashore on Foint Remedios, at the same place where the American steamship Nicaraugua and the British vessel Cherboon were lost. Captain Irvine managed to steam but from Point Remedios, and the Colon Is now lying on the beach close to the Acajutla wharf, three miles from 'Point Remedios. No other facts are known by the agents here. CLOTHING MEN TAKE STAND AGAINST UNIONS National Association Adopts New Constitution in Meeting at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, April 12. The labor question was discussed at to-day's sessions of the convention of the National Association of Clothiers. The proposition to establish a national labor bureau of cloth ing manufacturers was considered and is provided for fn a new constitution presented to the convention. The preamble, in rart. Is as follows: 'The closed shop is an un-American institution. The right of every man to sell his labor as he sees fit and tho freedom of every employer to hire such labor, are given by the laws of the land, and may not be affected by affiliation or nonaffiliation with any organization whatever. The limiting of apprentices in skilled trades It not only harmful to industrial development, but deprives the Intelligent American youth of a fair opportunity for advancement. The arbitrary restriction of the output is economically wrong, and in morals dishonest. A contract of employment Is a sale of the employe's labor for the employer's money, and intends an honest day's work on tho one hand and a full day's pay on the other." COURT REFUSES TO INSTRUCT FOR BURNS Motion Made by Alleged Boodler's Attorney Is Denied at Grand Rapids. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., April 12. Counsel for State Senator David R. Burns, who is being tried here for bribery in connection with the Lake Michigan water scandal, moved to-day that the Jury be instructed to return a verdict of not guilty. Counsel argued that while the indictment charged that Burns accepted $200 for his vote, the testimony tended to show that the alleged payment was only for Introducing a bill in the Legislature, and under the laws of Michigan this was no crime. The motion was denied. During to-day's proceedings ex-State Senator George E. Nichols was arraigned on the charge of perjury, his being another case growing out of the water scandal. Nichois stood mute and a plea of not guilty was entered for him. His present bail was continued. KANSAS POPULISTS QUARREL AND ADJOURN TOPEKA, Kan., April 12. The Populist state convention met here to-day and adjourned without making any nominations. The delegates will meet in Topeka again on Aug. 3, at which time an effort will be made to fuse with the Democrats. A state convention of Democrats will be held here on the same date. The result was not reached until the issue had been well fought. The middle-of-the-roaders strongly insisted on nominating a state ticket without reference to anything the Democrats wanted. The other element tried to patch up a deal to nominate two Supreme Court justices. Governor and one or two other state officers, have thrse Indorsed by the Democrats at their convention next August and then permit the Democrats to name the remainder of the ticket. If Senator W. A. Harris would have consented to run for Governor the wairing elements would have been reconciled without trouble, as both wanted him. lie refused, however, and a split convention was the result. RETURN OF A DISGUSTED PHOTOGRAPHER VICTORIA. B. C, April 12. A. D. Ashton, special photographer for a leading New York weekly, arrived on the Northern Pacific liner Victoria from Japan utterly disgusted with conditions there. lie says that everything worth photographing is surrounded or guarded by militari or naval sentries. He succeeded in securing a few good pictures of military movements, but says it is useless wasting time in Japan at present. The censorship is exceedingly strict and very few correspondents have been allowed to go to tho front. Cruiser Ynriufc Ruined. NEW YORK. April 12. Reports have been received from Chemulpo, says a World dispatch from Kobe, Japan, that engineers have raised the Russian cruiser Variag.

1 V I f i '4 SENATOR C. M. DETEW. One of the New York Republican Delegates to the Chicago Convention. 1 "BIG FOUR" INSTRUCTED TO V0TEF0R ROOSEVELT (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGEJ glory of the Roosevelt administration, he said, will be the early beginning of the work of the isthmian canal. THE RESOLUTIONS. The platform reaffirms the devotion of the Republicans of New York to and confidence in the principles of their party. It declares that the election and inauguration of William McKinley and the restoration to power of a party pledged to the encouragement of domestic activity, an honest system of finance and the expansion of our commercial interests, was followed by the enforcement of these policies. The Democratic party, the platform asserts, with imperialism and militarism as its slogan, attempted to mislead the people into the belief that territorial aggrandizement was the ultimate object of the Republican policy, and offered the fallacy of free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as a substitute for the basic principle of the gold standard and an honest dollar, and with numerous mischievous and untried theories of government endeavored to demoralize public confidence and shatter the faith of the people in the party in power. Continuing, the resolutions say: "The tragedy that deprived the Nation of the exalted service of President McKinley shadowed every heart with sorrow, but emphasized, nevertheless, the truth that though men perish the Republic still lives. The work of rehabilitation inaugurated and successfully carried on by him, and the wise policies which characterized his administration were taken up by his successor, whose courage in the midst of trying circumstances, and whoso ability, honesty of purpose and sturdy Americanism have elicited the admiration and respect of all our people. We commend Theodore Roosevelt for the fearlessness and good judgment with which he entered upon the solution of problems of social economy and government. We recognize the rare capacity he has exhibited in meeting all the requirements of his great office. We realize that his official acts have Justified the public confidence which is the fundamental factor of his popularity. "Accordingly we Indorse the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. Believing in his loyalty to the principles of the Republican rarty, relying on his devotion to the interests of American citizens and contiding in his wisdom, his courage and his statesmanship, we hereby direct that the delegates to be chosen use all honorable means to bring about his nomination for President at the national convention to be held In June." The President's action touching the Panama canal is indorsed, and the enactment is favored of such legislation "as shall give to American built ships, officered and manned by American citizens, the carrying of the larger part of our foreign commerce in order that the Nation shall have both the ships and the men as resource of defense in time of troublo end In order that American workingmen may have the building and running of the ships employed in doing our foreign carrying." The principle of a protective tariff Is upheld, and the freedom of the ballot without discrimination as to race or color is demanded. The administration of Governor Odell is indorsed, and the party representatives in Congress are commended, special reference being made to the services of Senator Piatt. Warner Miller asked to have the following resolution adopted, but it was not inserted in the platform as tho subject was covered in another way: "The permanency of a Republican government is based upon a pure and free ballot. We are opposed to either its corruption by money or Its limitation by depriving any citizen of the United States anywhere of the right to deposit his vote, except for causes permitted by the Constitution. To this end we demand the protection and permanency of all civil and political rights of our citizens without discrimination as to race or color. We ask Congress to make inquiry whether any State has limited, for any cause, the elective franchise, and if so limited, that the number of its representatives in Congress be reduced in proportion to the number of voters so disfranchised as provided in the fourteenth amendment: also to see to It that the fifteenth amendment Is in no way violated cither directly or by subterfuge." Immediately after the adjournment the state committee unanimously elected Governor Odell as chairman. HOB SON DEFEATED IN ALABAMA PRIMARIES Bankhead, Present Congressman, Has a Majority of Nearly 500 in District. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 12. Fuller returns from yesterday's Democratic primary election confirm the nomination of B. B. Comer as president of the Alabama Railroad Commission by an overwhelming majority.

Comer is the first president of the Railroad Commission to be elected by the people. All of the present Alabar.:a congressmen have been renominated. The close race was that between John II. Bankhead and Capt. Richmond P. Hobson in the Sixth district. Present figures show that Bankhead will be nominated by a majority of between 400 and 500. L. B. Musgrove. chairman of the Hobson campaign committee, said to-night that he was watching the returns cloxely with a view to contesting the nomination of Bankhead on the ground of fraud. HERO OF FASHODA RESIGNS FROM ARMY PARIS. April 12. The resignation of Col. Marchand, the hero of the Fashoda incident, was officially confirmed to-day, with an explanation that It was not due to pique because he was not appointed to follow the far Eastern war opt rations, but because he did not wish to go into the colonial service after his approaching marriage. However, it is generally believed the colonel's failure to be included In the French mission following the war led up to hi? retirement. Th acceptance of Colonel Marehand's resignation awaits a conference between War Minister Andre and the colonel. AGED FARMER HELD FOR MURDER OF WIFE BENTON HARBOR, Mich., April 12.

Watts, Watts & Co., of London, belnf? English, could not sue the United States until May, 1JK2, when Congress enacted a special law under which action was brought. Judge Adams, at the commencement, decided that the Columbia was at fault and caused the collision and that the United States was as responsible for its vessels at sea as a private owner would be, because it disregarded the international rules of the road at sea. A commission appointed to take testimony in half a dozen cities rendered a report fixing the value of the ship and cargo at $303,219, making, however, no allowance for interest, which was claimed from the date of the sinking of the ship and amounting to about $S0.O). To this report exceptions were filed and to-day's opinion of Judge Adams sustains the position that the award of the commissioner covers the full loss.
