8 DROWNED WHEN STATE
OF CALIFORNIA SINKS
SEATTLE, Aug. 18.—The Pacific
Coast Steamship Co.’s State of Cali
fornia en route from Seattle to Skag
way struck an uncharted rock when
entering Gambier’s bay south of
Juneau on Sunday morning and
sank. Seven members of the crew
and one third class passenger were
drowned when the vessel went be
neath the waves.
The ship carried many passengers
and had a crew of seventy-five. The
fact thatthe total loss of life was so
small can again be to some extent
credited to the wireless equipment
of the doomed vessel, as immedi
ately upon striking the rock the call
for help was sent out and was
caught at once by the wireless
operator on board the Jefferson. The
Jefferson at once made for the State
of California and succeeded in tak
ing aboard the survivors many of
whom were struggling in the water.
The. State of California sunk in a
remarkably short space of time, and
the work of lowering the boats was
accomplished in great haste but with
astonishing skill. The Jefferson ar
rived just as the steamer foundered
beneath the waters.
There is no question as to the
rock upon which this steamer was
wrecked being uncharted and the
demand is renewed for a re-survey
of the entire coast of Alaska which
is a contsant menace to shipping.
no objection to the postponement
Attorney O’Neill for the defendant
asked that the present charge
against the woman be dismissed.
The district attorney asked that this
dismissal of the present charge be
postponed until the new charge had
been hied, and the commissioner
agreed to this as he did not care to
hold a prisoner without some charge
being entered against the defen dan L
The rew charge will be filed tomor
row and the prosecution will he pre
pared to agree to the dismissal of
the present charge upon arraignment
of Carrie under the new charge.

TOKIO, Aug. 18.—Doctor Sen ar
rived here today incognito. He en
deavored to enter Japan secretly but
enterprising newspaper men re
ceived information that he was com

he left the steamer at Yokohama.
The former provisional president of
China is now en route to Formosa
