TERRIBLE GSTRSTRGPRL
The bulkhead held tight betweer
the engine room and the forward hold
where the water was eight feet deep
and the engine room crew remained
at their post until the water was pour
ing in from the top, and the boai
fairly safe on the beach, otherwist
the Admiral Evans, wrecked abou
three miles from shore out from Haw!
Inlet at 5:15 o’clock, March 9, mighi
nave been the scene of an awful ca
tastrophe says the Juneau Dispatch.
But the men remained at theii
posts, and Capt. Glasscock gave or
ders for full speed ahead for tin
sandy shore and landed her passen
gers and crew safely ashore. Ever
two dogs and one of the ship’s cats
were saved. The only loss of life re
ported was that of the ship’s canary
and that of one cat, which refused tc
leave the ship.
The hearing on the wreck, held in
the steamboat inspector’s office,
was not made public, and it is
not known what evidence was sub
mitted regarding the cause of the
wreck. Nor is the date of the public
trial announced. And no one has ven
tured an opinion, so far as known, as
to just how the buoy came to be so
far from the place where it should
have been, which is reported to have
been 300 feet from its place.
There is one thing, however, upon
which all the pasengers seem to
agree, and that is that everything
that could be done by the officers
and the crew to make them comfort
able was done. Within a very short
time after learning of the wreck the
Princess Sophia was sent to Hawk
Inlet and the passengers and all of
the crew except Capt. Glascock, the
chief engineer, the boatswain and the
second officer were brought to Juneau.
Arrangements are being made to send
the passengers on their various ways
by other boats as soon as possiblo,
and in the meantime they are being
cared for by the company at any hotel
in the city which they see fit to
choose. Most ;of the officers were
sent sout hon the Sophia.

men lost most, if not all, of their
personal belongings, but the passen
gers were able to save all their hand
baggage, and most of that in the hold
1 was saved, including all the United
States mail. The greatest damage to
the baggage in the hold was caused
by the bursting of the oil tanks.
Soundings taken directly after the
boat had been beached showed that
there was eight feet of water in the
hold. She had a double bottom, but
this was not sufficient to prevent the
sharp rock from puncturing her
through and through. All the crew,
it is said, worked in this water and
oil until they were driven out by the
depth.
It is not thought that the Evans
will be a total loss either of the ship
or the freight, for she lies in a fairly
well protected harbor right on the
beach. At present only the after part
of the vessel is submerged at low
tide, the bow and forward decks being
above water, except at high tide.

ICOMMISSIQKER REFUSES
s 10 ISSUE II WARRANT
__
A somewhat mystifying contre
temps has occurred at Candle, which
has resulted in the resignation of
United States Commissioner George
D. Campbell, says the Nome Nugget.
According to the story, Deputy
Marshal Hart Humber at Candle late
ly did some sleuthing with the object
of catching someone who was engaged
in the pleasant diversion of peddling
hootch. After some little labor he fin.
ally located the offender, who is said
to be an old-time resident of the Can
dle district, and applied to Commis
sioner Campbell for a warrant.
For some reason Campbell refused
the application.
Deputy Humber is then said to have
communicated the matter to the mar
shal's office at Nome, with the result
that it was laid before the district
attorney at Nome. The district at
torney thereupon gave instructions to
Commissioner Campbell to issue the
warrant demanded. On receiving the
orders of the district attorney, Judge
Campbell . -.aid to have resigned
forthwith rather than obey the order.
WILE FIND SOLUTION
OF FINANCIAL QUESTIONS
PARIS, Feb. 14 (by mail).—French .
economists studying how the nation
may raise the revenue necessary to
carry its debt burden and meet cur
rent expenses on the basis of a bud
get of 17,000,000,000 francs annually,
at the end of this year, have arrived
at an estimate of 40,000,000,000 francs
as the net annual revenue of the
French people in 1914. Economists,who
were frightened at the end of the
fist year of the war by the growing
war debt, appear now to consider the
solution of the problem as less diffi
cult than they had dared to hope,
though there is still an uncertain ele
ment in their calculations arising from
the effect the war will have had upon
the producing capacity of the coun
try.
