LOST IX A HOWLING GALE.

THE ALASKAN IS DOWN OFF BLANCO. Bom of the Crew Remain With the Vessel and Ar Lost The Chief Officers Rescued Story of the Disaster. P0BTLA5P, Ore., May 17. Capt. IL E. Howes f the foundered steamer Alaskan, and First Officer Wood, have arrived here on the steamship Columbia. The Alaskan sailed for San Francisco from Astoria last Saturday and crossed the Columbia river bar 6afely, beaded down the coast. On Monday forenoon a very heavy gale sprang np, which soon increased to a terrible storm. The eea ran very hitch and the vessel began laboring heavily. In the afternoon the steamer strained and began to leak. The pumps were kept goirg constantly and the officers and crew vainly endeavored to stop the leak by stuffing in blankets and bedding. The storm continued with unabated fury, and early Sunday evening the upper works of the steamer began going to ieccs. The water poured in on all fides, patting out the fires in the furnaces and literally fioodinglthe upper works. The engines were stopped an 1 the huge vessel pitched and tossed, completely at the mercy of the elements. The pumps could not be worked, and the vessel began filling. However, Capf. Howes gave orders for all to stay by the vessel, in hopes the storm would soon abate. About 12 o'clock Monday night it was evident the steamer would soon founder. Cant. Howes then gave orders to launch the life-boats and rafts. All the boats were launched but one, which crushed against the side of the steamer. The men behaved well, acting with coolness and obeying orders promptly. There were forty-four men n board the vessel and three stowaways. All but seven or eight put on life preserver?, got into the boats and on life rafts and drifted away. Some re fused to leave the steamer at all." preferring to take desperate rhances on board rather than commit themselves to the hungry waters. At 2:15 a. mTuesday the steamer took a plnnge and went down stem first. Capt. Howes trallantly stayed with the vessel until she sunk, and, clinging to a portion of the wreckage floated away. lie was afterward picked up by those on one of the rafts. After thirty-three hours he and others were picked up by the tug Yigilante. The same vessel aieo picked np the first officer, G. W. Wood, T. Wallace, . ollins.B. B. Kernhold.J. Monghan, J. W Brown, W- Alfred Johnson, John Welch and George hilderup. The latter had a leg broken by the falling of timbers before leaving the steamer and died soon after being picked up by tho Vigilante. John Welch was found dead on a fiece of wreckage, clinging to some ropes, hief Engineer Swaine was washed olf one of the raft soon after leaving the sinking vessel and is known to be lost. Among those who refused to leave the Alaskan and are certainly lost were: ALBERT RAHLES, steward. S. T. WEEK, second officer. W. JENNEY, a seaman. The following is a complete list of the officers and crew of the Alaskan : Master. K- E. Howes ; first officer, J. X. Woods; second officer, S. T. Weeks; chief engineer, W.Swine; first assistant engineer, JI. G. Miohell ; steward, Albert Rahles: watchman, James fctevenson; watertenders, 11 Emerson and James McGarry; oilers, M. McKean and T. Wallace ; quartermasters, John Brown, J. M.Graham, George Shieldrup, Walter Hunter; firemen, Thomas Collisran, Patrick Many, Patrick Connor, P. E. Wheeland, John Carrington.flM.

Norris, Theodore Frold ai.d three stowaways whose names are unknown, making a total ot forty-seven persons. Thirty remain yet unaccounted for, whose fate is unknown at present. The tug Vigilante, after picking up those mentioned, cruised about the scene of the disaster fo- over twelve hours, but saw no signs ot the others. At the time the vessel foundered a fearful storm prevailed, and the rain descended in torrents. There is scarcely any hope that the other part of the crew escaped. Efforts are being made to find them or ascertain their fate. The I. S. lighthouse tender Manzanta, now on the southern coast, is cruising about looking for the survivors, if any. Cape Bianco is about two hundred railes south of the mouth of the Columbia river on the coast of Oregon, and is only a short distance from the north point of Cape Oxford. As near as can be ascertained, the disaster occurred about eighteen miles off the cape. The tutr Vigilante saw numbers of rockets from the Alaskan a short time before the vessel foundered, and Capt. Howes says he saw the tug's lights quite plainly, but the vessel was some distance away, and could render no assistance in the howlin; storm. The Yigilante brought the survivors up to the mouth of the Columbia, and waited until the ocean steamer Columbia came along, and then transferred the survivors. COLLIDED IN A FOG.

Washington, May 1!. The week ending May 18 has been wanner than usual in agricultural districts east of the Mississippi, aud from Iowa southward to Texas. It has also been warmer than usual on the Pacific coast, but in the extreme Northwest, including Minnesota, Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Montana, abnormally low temperature prevailed, attended by snows, ami in some cases freezing w eather. The season is about a week in advance in the 1'ppcr Mississippi and Lower Missouri valleys and is from one to two weeks in aJvance in Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. There has been an excess of rainfall during the week generally throughout the upper lake region, the I'ppcr Mississippi and Missouri valleys, and mure than the usual amount of rain is also reported from eastern Ohio and so'-itiiern Indiana. The rainfall durin? the past week over the wheat region of the central valleys was timely and doubtless improved the crop conditions which at the close of last week were in a critical state, owing to the absence of moisture. The weather during the week was favorable for growing crops in all sections, except in the south Atlantic and cast gulf states. The cold weather and snows in the Northwest have doubtless atlected the crops favorably in that section. Generally throughout New England and the middle states and states north of the Ohio river the week was especially favorable and all crops are making satisfactory progress. Kesnlts of Congress.

W"ASTTlNf.TON May 15. A large delegation cf miners and smelters from the West appeared before Secy. Windom and Asst. Secy. Tichenor to-day for a hearing touching a ruling of the treasury department relative to the importation of lead ore from Mexico.

This ruling, they contend, is injurious to the smelting interests of the western territories, and they desire that it be revoked, and that the ore be classified by the weight of the various metals composing it instead of by their value.

THE FORREST CITY RIOT.

A. L. NE ELY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS. ) The Man Who Started tho Whole Trouble Shot Down by a Sheriff's Posse A Raid on the Town reared Gov. Eagle on the Scene. Little Rock, Ark., May 19. The particulars of the killing of the fourth roan in the Forrest City riot are given in a special to the Arkansas Gazclir. The last victim is A. L. Neely, the negro who started the whole trouble. Neely, his father and brother took refuge in the Adrocntc building, when the killing of B. M. Wilson, Thomas Parham and Frank Folbre occurred yesterday evening. Every effort was made to get at Neely, but they proved unsuccessful, as the negroes were well barricaded. Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning several shots were fired into the building, without avail, in the hopes of scaring the neeroes to a surrender. At 8 o'clock this morning Acting Sheriff Van Bizard persuaded old man Neely aud his other 6on to come out, promising them Kafe conduct to the jail and a fair trial. A. M. Neely did not appear. The BherifTa posse was not more than a hundred yards distant with the two prisoners, when a number of other members of the posse raided the Advocate building. A. M. Neely was discovered secreted under the floor aud was riddled with bullets, at least ten shots being fired into him. It was thought that others of the Neely gang w ere concealed under the floor, and the posse made an extended search, but found no more. This last killing created a great deal more excitement, and the people were afraid of a raid on the towu by the negroes. The acting sheriff wired Gov. James P. Eagle the fact, mid asked that a company of militia be ordered there. The governor replied that he thought the civil authorities could preserve the peace, and be did not want to order out the militia unless all other means failed. Gov. Eagle thought he could be. better able to judge of what was needed by bein on the ground, so he took the first train for Forrest City, aud is now there and will remain until quiet is restored. He is in constant communication with Adjt-Gen. John C. England, and, if they are needed, the McCarthy light guards are ready to move, by special train, at a moment's notice. The company is well equipped and will be abe to handle most any kind of a mob. It is thought now that there will be no further trouble. The feeling was so high against Neely that his death was looked for every moment after the beginning of the riot, and now that he is out of the way it is thought the feeling will subside unless there is n negro uprising, and of course, in that event, the military will be called out. Gov. Eaule's presence on the ground will have a reassuring etlect and will restore order, as he is a wonderfully coolheaded and couraeeous man. The cause of all this trouble, in which the lives of three good men have been sacrificed, is the desire of the negro to rule in politics. Neely was the head of the negro element of the fusionists in St. Francis county. Capt. John Parham. father of Thomas Parham, and Sheritf D. M. Wilson headed the white element. These men were opposed to the democrats or white people of the county in all matters. Yesterday was the day for the election of school directors. In the Forrest City district the white people pay P9 per cent, of the taxes, but the negroes are given representation on the school board and have as coed, if not a better school, than the white people. Two of the six directors were to have been elected yesterday. The candidates for reelection were two white men, members of the board, but Neely and his side desired to replace these men with their candidates. Neely said: "We propose to secure the control of the board and manage the school to suit ourselves." A. M. Neely and G. W. Ingram made incendiary speeches on tho subject und stirred up a very bitter feeling, which resulted in a difiiculty Saturday between James Fussell and Neely in which Neelv was knocked down, and this was the beginning of the tragedy which ended iu Neely's death this morning. Neeiy was a prominent republican. He is a member of the state central committee an I of the executive committee, and had secured the recommendation of that body for register of the land office at this place, and would, dnubtless, have been appointed, for President Harrison has observed the recommendation of this committee in muking appointments for this state. Thomas Parham's funeral occurred this mnrninif, and was largely attended. He was a splendid young man, was formerly deputy lT. S. internal revenue collector for this district under the present collector. He did cot indorse his father's views, but naturally defended him when he was in trouble. And it was, as he thought, in the performance of this duty he died. Capt. John Parham was also shot in the fight yesterday, but not dangerously. He attempted to shoot Thomas Prewett, who snatched the pistol from him, saying: "Haven't you done enough? Don't you tee that Tom is dead. Don't force me to kill you." It is now known that Marshal Frank Folbre killed both Wilson and Parham after he had been shot down by Parham. YERKES' DEADLY GRIP. One of nis Cable Cars Runs Over and Kills a Young Jlride. Chicago, May 15. Mrs. Mary Lambrecht, a bride of about ten days, was run over to-night and killed by one of the Yerkes cable cars. Accidents have been so frequent on the company's lines, and the service so unsatisfactory that a mob of fully 1,500 people quickly fathered and made demonstrations toward ynching the gripman. Speedy action by the police saved him. Mrs. Lambrecht was almost literally dragged out of the arms of the man to whom she had been so recently wedded, anü was mangled to death before his eyes. Jumped Over Pnssaio Fall. New York, May 20. Steve Brodie, the bridge-jumper, jumped over the Passaic falls this morning and came off without damage. For the past three months Brodie has entertained an insane idea that it was necessary, in order to perfect his record as a jumper from high elevations, to rival the late lamented Sam Patch by jumping from some of the places which the latter gentleman had honored by bin presence. A Vessel ISurnert. BALTIMORE, May 20. The passenger steamer Johns Hopkins.belonging to the Merchants' and Miners' transportation company, was to-night burned to the water's edge. Johns Hopkins was of 1,470 tons burden and 243 feet in length. The vessel, which is insured in its own company, is valued at $250,0 0. The loss on the cargo of turpentine, rosin, lumber and cotton is $30,"00 or more. The fire originated by the explosion of a barrel of turpentine in the hold. Sugar Swindlers on Trial. New York, May 2a The trial of William E. Howard, chief of the alleged eugar swindlers,who cheated the Electric sugar refiningcompany oat of thousands of dollars, was begun here to-day.

A fatal shooting occurred ut 1 o'clock this afternoon at the residence of Henrietta McDaniel, proprietress of a house of ill-repute in the Fifth ward of this city. Stowe's circus, a small show, was stopping in Aberdeen, and several of the men came over to visit tle house. They had not been in the house long beroi? Henrietta and one of the men got into a quarrel and he was put out of the house and the door closed upon him. His companions tried to get him to go away with them. Instead of going away he went to a side window and began pulling the shutters open, exclaiming at the same time, "Shoot now, if you want to."

St. Lons, Mo., May Id. Early this morning wild shrieks were heard proceeding from the third-story of the hotel Barnum, and a crowd soon gathered in front of the house. The ex citement was increased by the appearance of a patrol-wagon, and shortly after three policemen emerged from the hotel bearing between them the struggling figure of a man covered with a blood-stained sheet. Tho cause of the commotion was a man named P. F. Kirk of Jacksonville, 111., who was seized with a violent fit of insanity during the night. Kirk took a room at the hotel Barnum at 12:30 o'clock, and an hour later the guests were startled by a loud crash, as of breaking glass. Demoniac yells followed, and a policeman hurried to the third floor of the hotel, where a terrible sight was revealed. A man, completely nude, with blood pouring from more than twenty ragged gashes, was rushing about the room screaming and beating the wall. The officer grappled with him, but the madman beat him oj, and it was found necessary to summon help. Two more officers appeared and the man was secured. A love atlair, in which Kirk was disappointed, is the supposed cause of bis insanity. To-night men took the unfortunate man to Jacksonville. AN ARGUMENT FOR ANNEXATION. Two of Chicago's Suburbs Visited by Destructive Fires, Chicago, May 18. The fire early this morning at One Hundred and Sixth-st, and Avenue K, in East Chicago, destroyed nine houses. Twelve barns were incidentally licked np by the fames, and the to til damage is between $30.000 and $40,000. The houses were occupied almost entirely by foreigners, employed in the rolling mills, the most of whom owned their homes, and had them - well insured. The scene of the fire is just across the Calumet river from Cummings, which was visited by a destructive fire only a few hours before. The entire district is so poorly supplied with water that at both fires the firemen were almost powerless, the cisterns and wells being exhausted. This fact is so good an argument for annexation to Chicago that the arti-annexationists are freely charging that both blazes were started by annexationists. Both fires started in barns in the most unaccountable manner and in localities where the flames were sure to spread. CARRIED OUT THEIR THREATS. Fiendish Work of Pennsylvania White Caps A Valuable Horse Ktlied. GkeensBlRG, Pa,, May 15. The White Caps in the vicinity of ML Pleasant, this county, brought their threats into execution, and S. I.

The loss is $1.2u0. The last notice received by Mr. CoflTinan was a rudelv-drawn picture of a coffin, with the instruction to leave the country, or his body would soon be deposited therein.

A CK0WD OF MURDERERS.

A TERRIBLE REVELATION IN COURT. Damaging Testimony Against the Attend ants In Chicago's Public Insane Asylum Patients Kicked, Beaten and Slurdered Burns Death. Chicago, May 20. The most terrible revelation yet made in Judge Pendergast's investigation of the management of Chicago's public insane asylum, was reached to-day in the testimony of George Hill, a locomotive engineer, now running an engine on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. Mr. Ilili is a shrewdlooking man, with black hair and mustache, and a straightforward manner that carried conviction with it. He said he was admitted to the institution at Dunning in January, 1SS3, and was discharged as cured the following May. He was not violently insane when he went to the asylum, and on his arrival was asked by an attendant named Lott if he was insane. George said he was not. "Well," replied Lott, "we will make you a d d sight insancr than you are now." "Then another attendant, named Julian, ordered me to sweep out the room. I replied that I was cot sent there for that purpose." " 'You aint, eh?' he said, 'we will see about that.' " "Then he knocked me down and kicked me in the body and mouth and kicked two teeth out. I tried to cover my face by getting my head under a bench. My arm was over it and through a enace in the back of the bench. Julian turned the bench over to get another kick at my face. In doing this my arm was broken." Hill rolled up his right coat sleeve and showed, about three inches below the elbow, a huge lump where the ends of the broken bones, illy joined, stuck out "They knocked me down again," continued Ilili, "and broke one of ray ribs. My arm caused me great pain and I had no proper treatment. One day Julian said 'let me 6ee that arm,' and he tore my coat off. Then he rubbed the arm with liniment. That was the only attendance I had. I tried to see the doctor, but Julian told me that if I dared to speak he would kill me right there. I told Supervisor Jones that I was badly treated and he said he wo tld send me to another ward. Then Lock and another attendant from ward 'D W 1' held me down while Julian kicked me iu the head and breast. I got up bleeding and said I would have justice some day.

THEY HAVE BEEN SLIGHTED. The German-Americans Realize the In gratitude of the Republican Party. Milm-ackee, Wis., May 15. The Milwaukee Herald (German) will say to-morrow, editorially: "The attitude of the administration toward the German-American republicans in filling oflices becomes more and more surprising. The German-American is no office-seeker. Far from playing the professional foreigner he feels himself a thorough American, and does not think of spreading himself more than others in matters of general concern. The principal positions are already tilled and the GermanAmericans have been slighted. In 6pite of all the devotion of the German-Americans to the republican party they have been ignored. President Harrison owes it to himself and his party to give a satisfactory explanation why the German-American republicans have received ßueh treatment at his hands." A Professional Libertine.

In company with one Albert Hardestie, Boles, it is said, dragged her into a freight car standing on a side track.

Oscar came to Chicago and since then he has managed to get his picture into the "rogue's gallery." Ilecently nardestie is said to have confessed j his crime and implicated Boles, and about a 1 week ago the Chicago police were notified by the Covington authorities to look out for the ' latter. They arrested him Saturday night while he was trying to dispose of an overcoat. He was held in default of ilfO bond until the Covington people can be heard from. Boles has refused to confess, but has made four attempts to commit suicide in his cell.

The Leading White Cap. ETansville Courier. Why should the White Caps wish to do Judge Woods any violence? He is himself the most conspicuous exponent of White Capism. Instead of being their opponent he is their coadjutor their ally the apostle of their hellish theories and zealotry. lie has contributed more to the spread of lawlessness in Indiana than all of the White Oap organizations combined. He has cultivated a feeling of resentment against the federal government in the hearts of more than one-half ot the people of Indiana, and so long as he remains upon the federal bench it will continue to be regarded as the most shameless and vicious part of the republican party machine. Woods is no proper subject for discipline by the White Cap". He is one of them in bigotry, hypocrisy, cruelty to his felliw man, and utter disregard for the law of the land and the law of God. Every moment that he remains on the bench the cause of justice is outraged. Ha ought to be impeached for judicial White Capism, and made to take his place where he can no longer hide his shameless outlawry under a judicial robe, as the White Caps hide theirs under their masks.
