BARK IS FOUND. Vessel Which Collided with the Walla Walla Belas Towed to San Francisco In Bad Condition. San Francfsco, Jan. 6, —The French bark Max, which collided with the steamship Walla Wall early Thursday morning, is being towed to this city in a badly disabled condition. The steamer George W. Elder, from Portland, reports that she passed the Max at 10:50 Sunday morning iu tow of the steamer Acme and the United States revenue cutter McCulloch, IS miles northwest of Point Reyes. The Max’s bowsprit was carried away, and her bow was stove in both above and- below the water line. Her water tight compartments alone were keeping her afloat. The officers of the Max claim that all their lights were burning. They saw the lights of the Walla Walla. They assert that the Walla Walla tried to cross their bow, and that the collision occurred through no fault of tlie Max. Asa reason for not standing by and tendering assistance, they say that it was impossible, owing to the badly disabled condition of the Max. They had all they could do to take care of themselves. ■’' Ninety-two survivors of the Walla Walla arrived here Sunday from Eureka on the Steamer Pomona. There is still some discrepancy in the lists of dead and missing> The number ranges from 37 to 47. This discrepancy is due to the fact that several passengers hoarded the vessel just as she was leaving port. Others who were traveling second class gave assumed names in order to hide their identity. By striking out what are possible duplicates, the number of lost stands at 42, classed as follows: Known dead, nine; missing passengers, 13; crew, 20. One life raft is unaccounted for, and it is feared that all the missing are lost. Rev. Henry Erickson, who was among the six survivors brought to this city by the steamer Nome City Saturday night, is at St. Mary’s hospital, a physical and almost a mental wreck. Ills wife and three children are among the dead and missing. The Erickson family', excepting the mother, were second class passengers. When the crash came they were awakened and all got on the upper deck together. Mrs. Erickson and the two younger children got separated from their father and the elder brother. What their fate was is not known, but it is presumed they were drowned when the vessel went down. Erickson and his son clung together and were pitched into the water clear of the sinking steamer. They floated around for some, time and finally were picked up by the life raft, on which were a number of the officers of the Walla Walla. It was almost daybreak when they were found, and they were in an exhausted condition. Father and son were pulled on the light structure, hut the boy was too weak to stand the exposure. A few hours later he died in his father’s arms, and after the heartbroken parent had bowed his head in silent prayer over the corpse of his son the body was consigned to the waves as tenderly as it was possible under tlie circumstances. After the body of the hoy had gone overboard tlie father became more and more despondent. Despite the advice of liis companions, time and time again he filled his hands with water and drank it down. This added to his misery, and his companions feared that he would he the next to succumb. The sea was -running high and dashing over the raft, hut all clung on through the long hours of the day and the long hours of the night. They hoped against hope until the Nome City picked them up.

HgS SENATOR THURSTON, The Brilliant Statesman from Nebraska, Makes * an Important Public Utterance.

INTERIOR OF UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMIIER. Ex-Senator John M. Thurston, of Omaha, Nebraska, is one of the most prominent and influential men in the country.

Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean. More than one-lialf of trie people arc affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Senators are talking about it; Congressmen are discussing it. They are not only considering the extent and chronic nature of the disease, but the possibility of finding a national remedy to meet this national calamity. The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this direction. Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty ypars ago, and the remedy as a catarrh cure has been Real Pleasure. Her Father—Aha!
