The Missouri towed the Denmark until the C't when the latter seemed to be about to sink. THROVER TBE CAGO At first the Missouri was only able to take aboard twenty of the Dan mark's passengers, but after having jettisoced a portion of her cargo she found accommodations for all ;the crew and passengers of the Danmark. The Missouri then proceeded to the Azores, and left there the first and second officers and 320 passengers. Sae then continued her journeys to Philadelphia with 340 passengers and the remainder of the crew. The cap tain and three engineers of the Dan mark left the Azores on the 14th for London. , " CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. v; , . The Danmark was about eight hun dred miles from Newfoundland when' the accident happened. Some say that the engines broke down. - En - gineer Kakf- was found dead in. the engine room after the accident. The death of the Danmark's en gineer was due to the bursting of an Qpgine pipe. The engineer was killed on the 'spot, and the, ship was badly damaged. In consequence of this damage, together with the breaking of the shaft, he vessel was helpless in .the heavy seas that prevailed. LANDED AT LISBON. J Forty-two sailors and all of the passengers left at the Azores by the Miisourt came to Lisbon on the steam fchip Aor.j The captain and three engineers proceedea to uonaon on Doara a steamer from Td a ara. ARRIVED AT PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, April 21. The steam ship Missouri with 3G5 of the people from the wrecked steamer Danmark arrived athe American line steam ships dock! at G o'clock this evening. All were well on boar J with the ex ception of three persous. who are ill. but doing well, all of tho Danmatk's passengers loot heaitv and bright. rand showed no signs of the hardships which they must nave necessarily en- uureu. 1 Among those on board from the Danmark, were eight members of the Danmark's: crew including the purser, surgeon, one cook, butcher, . baker and two stewardesses. Nearly all the emigrants I are bound for western points and they will be forwarded direct from Philadelphia to their des tinations. STATEMENT OV CAPTAIN MURRELL. captain Hamilton Murreil. com mander of I the Missouri, makes the following statement : " We lef t Lon don with a general cargo for our first trip to PhiladelDhia, on March 28th we had a fair passage up to 1:20 p. m. of April 5th, when we sighted the steamship Danmark flying signal of distress. The wind at the time was blowing strong from the west ; we bore down on the steamer and found her disabled; Captain Knudsen, her commander, reported that th tail end of his shaft was broken and he wished U3 to take his passengers to New York. Oaring to I the state of the weather and because of the fact that I was not prepared to accommodate such a num ber of people, I declined to accede to his request,! but offered instead to tow his vessel to the nearest port. This offer, Captain Kundson accepted, and two hours after we first sighted the Danmark we placed a tow rope on board that;vessel and proceeded slowly, to sea and wind and heading north, west for St: Johns, N. F., which I considered the best port to make under the circumstances. The wind blew with tremendous force all night and progress was most difficult. On April Gih at 5:30 a. m., finding that I could make no headway in westerly , direction and seeingice to windward, I decided . u abandon my hope of reach- US oV K8 nd determined to make for St. Michaels one of the Azores islands.

Michael, which "was 720 miles away.. The cabin Dassensers of the the Danmark were given tccom-f modatioCf in the Missouri's passenger cabin and the officers gave no their cabins for the use of the women -and children. T A BABY.BORN ON BO 4EDS . On April 17. at 1:20 a. m. about ten hours after the transfer was- made. Mrs. Sinnie.'aged 18 years, a pretty Danish, woman who was on the way to America to her husband, gave birth to a girl, in my cabin. The little stranger was christened Atlanta Mis- soun. The child was born during a howling storm which rocked the vessel and caused the sea to break over us. . SAFE AT ST. MICHAEL. The gale materially decreased, and we were able to make fine progress. The 9th went by without an incident anaatU:dua. m., of April lu a we arrived at St. Michael. On April 11, at 11 a. m., we landed 370 of the pas sengers and crew' of the Danmark, including Capt. Kundsen at St. Micnaei. in dividing up our load we kept on board then Missouri, iamuies. endeavoring as tar as possible to leave single men and those not having children at St. Michael's At 6 p. m. of the same day wh sailed from St, Michaels with 365 people from the Danmark, including eight of the crew of that vessel, who wer allowed to come with us. We bad fi weather all the way to Philadelphia. and a remarkably small amount of sickness on board, considering the crowded condition of our boat. . A BlK 81 1 Pool. Toledo, Ohio. April 22.

English capitalists, who have operated the salt trust -in Great Britain, are in'eres'ed in this project, the details of which have all been ar ranged and which will all be settled bv Mr. Burt, during his brief vint to fngiand. This gigantic business combination, is not to be salt trust in the usual acceptance of the word, although in many of its features it resembles one. It is sim ply, applying to the entire salt indus trv of the Unired btates. the sacue principle, that, from time to time.have been used in the ereat ?alt producing section of the Sawmaw Valley. Encb district will produce the usual quau tity of salt and report to headquarters. constantly the amount of srock on hand. The heaquarters will make sales and see that tne stuff is shipped in a most economical manner, for instance, orders from the country, tributary to Syracuse, will be filled from that city, instead of Michigan, people stealing in 'theirs as thty do now. Kansas and other States thereabouts, will be supplied from Kansas, instead of from Michigan, or New YoTk and Kansas people will not undertake to supply Ohio and Michi gan, as is now the case. It is esti mated that in this way there will be saved in operaxine the expenses of business, at least $500 000 a year, even at the present rediculously low price of salt. It is now the purpose of the proposed syndicate, .to go into the matter with the intention of forcing up the price of salt; there will be no necessity for any such action and with the business management consolidates and concentrated, the saving in oper ating the expenses will yield & com fertable return of itself.

There are fewer convicts than tpt before in the orison -proper, & under the new system it Is found necessarv to send-away all who can possibly be win.-, 00 pressint? is mis emercrencv that quire a number, of convicts serv mg sentences of over twentyjyears, and some who -are in for life are out on contract work. The State has only two pieces of contract work now. One of these is on the Cape Fear and Yad kin Valley Railroad. between -Wil mington and? Favetteville: and tha other on the railway from Winston to JuocKsville. Of course such convicts could not "be used on ordinary railway work. Last Saturday twenty-eight convicts were sent to the Roanoke and bouthern rail way. The health of the convicts is exceptionally good, exeept on me canai wors: in tn& Jast, where of course there is some sickness. Wetmore's contrae- forthB shoe fac tory inside the prison begins May 1st, ana the revenue under the terms of his leave begins that dav. He has not yet moved in and will probably be a few days behind time. Tnere are only 200 persons, in the peniten tiary, including those in the hospital. Of these, twenty three are females. There are two little darkey children, one about four year old, and the other an infant, who were born in the, prison a few weeks after the beginning of the terms of their mothers who are in for long terms. It was quite a funny sight to day to see the elder of these two kids very unconcernedly eating its lunch in a corridor of the women's building. r It is very probable that the big foundry which was built a few years ago will soon be utilized fuLly. It is now only used as a smithy. South of the prison and screened by its massive and lofty, walls, is the garden, a very fine one indeed. Along its western boundary, long rows of wooden crosses mark the convict grave yard. Six hundred convicts, it was stated this morning lie here. It should be borne in mind that year alter year the convicts who are sick or disabled are sent here to the hos pital in the prison, and those dead are those who haye received treatment there unavaiiijiglyi , L i - 11 $ f Turning from the 1 penitenfiaryrto brighter things, it may be said that Raleigh hasi never seen a more charm lug or gracious Easter. Yesterday morning there was a most unwelcome shower of ram, which, it is slyly whispered, prevented the airing out of a little f tannine finery. But be this as it may, there was enough and to spare. At most of the churches there was "standing room" only. The af ternoon was very fine. To day there was no end of picnic parties jand ''straw rides," now quite the fashion. Jfrocessions of wagons, each filled with pretty girls, and every girl white-bonneted and happy, were noticed on the streets. Fishing tackle was in lively demand, and the streams were lined with picnickers. The radicals ought to be happy. This week they oust the last of the route agents in this section. He is Mr. Oliver Wemble, and has been notified that he must walk tbe plank." It is said that George B. Hiss, the president of the radical cnice seekers association. Known as the Carolina Club, is to fill Mr. Worn bie's shoes. The betting among the radical elect is that A. W. Shaffer will get the revenue collectorship plum, and it is now said that Eliha White, of Per quimans. is his most formidable oppo nent. Hubert Leeson Porter has been put by the police authorities m a quiet boarding house and will be well taken care of until further advices from his people in Ireland, who have tele graphed Mayor Thompson to hold him and take good care of him. Fovernor Fowle left this morning via Selma and Wilson for Avoca. He takes the steamer at Williamston. He makes a speech to morrow, andfor mally opens the Avoca celebration of which so much has been said. He leayes Avoca in time to reach here Thursday afternoon, and forty eight hours later will depart for New York. The Governor will make arrange ments by which he and his staff will be able to attend the celebration at the Guilford Court House battle ground May 4, by stopping there on their way here from New York. He was especially urged to do this by the officers of the.Battle Ground Associa tion. , , . , ... Mr Howard Haywood left here this evening for Blacks S.

As many fleet horses are being thought in from Texas and Kansas, th'e races will be most exeit- ing as the v fiv across the conntrv. The coal, a stake, tho.prize; a claim, there is ; as much, if not more, stran gling for town cites, as for sections. THIT ABE GOING TO GUTHRIE. It'is said that thirty-two town com panies are ? going for Guthrie; aboit that number for Oklahoma City and about twenty more for Kins: Fisher, while there are applicants for sites on almost every section ; this makes the average settler swear. Trouble be tween town site companies, promises to be as dangerous as among claim hunters. 'There has also been brewing, for the last "day or two, animosity be tween tlnM Northern fellows and Texans especially, including some colonies from other States. ; PAYING DEAR TO GET THERE. Once within the strip the men, either on foot, or in wagons, were to be seen continually going southward; there were no soldiers or officers of any kind to prevent their entering the country; some were encamped on the banks of streams, the women were cooking meals and the men were shooting at, either marks or game. Few persons know, said an old boomer, who was encamped on the Oklahoma line, what dangers I have gone through to reach here; my party had a cow boy guide, and when we came to Chickasaw we were compelled to pay a man $4 50 to swim the stream and bring us a little boat in which we could cross, and we then pulled our rig and Swam our teams. The same thing had to be done at Salt Fork; we gave our guide $100, and if he gets us well located he gets $150. Another party paid their guide $250. ; THE LAKDS WILL BE OVERCROWDED. A scheme has just developed, the magnitude of which is the bold con ception and daring character of men engaged in ?t, makes it one of great importance ; it is everyday. becoming more apparent that the land of .Okla homa will be insufficient for the people who will be there to claim it ; as a consequence, there has been organized bands or companies, the members of which are sworn to protect their fel lows. Tne leaders of the companies have agreed that if any 'considerable portion of them fail to get into Oklahoma, they will begin together and take possession of Cher okee strip. Two-thirds, even of these organized men, will be left and in a week from to-day, they will have 10.- 000 determined men, sdeperate from failure of cherished plans, driving stock out on the strip and holding down claims. The hope of the men. who haye this desperate enterprise, is to have so many people in the strip in a short time, that it will be thought better to leave them, than attempt to drive them out. THEY LEAP TO SAVE THE SITE. A party of capitalists of San Fran cisco sent their agent, George W. Perkins, to find a site for a town they will build and call Frisco. Perkins and his party stood upon the rear platform after1 leaving Purcell and just after Canadian river was crossed they jumped off and concealed them selves in the bushes. The chances are that the situation of Frisco will be near this bridge. TROOPS OH THE ALERT. At Gutherie there are in prepara tion and agitation of the same num ber and variety of town site schemes and on account of the present promi nence of the place as a land office, the contest for possession, will be more intense. Troops are being as r&pilly as possible, sent into the country and to-day, there were on its bordera, four teen companies of infantry and twenty ptfoons of cavalry. BOGUS DEPUTIES. Last nightthereLwrived at Okla homa City, a queerioong crowd, bearing deputy marshal papers, thus entitling them to enter the country! There were seven in all in the party; one man was about 70 years old. He wore a fine broad cloth suit of clothes and carried a gold beaded cane. There was not one in the party who had ever made an arrest, and it was stated that the aggregate capital of the crowd was oyer $2 000,000. They rode down on the Pacific car and alighting from the train showed their commissions as deputy marshals properly signed and attested and so - the soldiers, much against theirwrill, Were compelled to permit them to remain Their evident intention is to form some - town site. It is thought that there are : over thirty deputies now in and about Oklahoma who at noon will turn in their resignations and accept it all by themselves : each individually, and tm-n private citizens; they wl then take claims. ii:-y,i - - Salt Fork tCreeky- whith4 trinds through tha tirip and cn thr bank ct Trhith.

Ctptain Hayes and his company, who escorted the settleis to the border, rendered them most valuable service. He induced the Santa; Fe road to permit him to lay planks beside and between the tracks of the bridge and get the emi grants over. A soldier with a red flag half a mile from each end of the bridge prevented any trains from approach ing until the bridge was clear, r LOSS OF LIFE. In spite of all precautious, a woman and two children, and a number of cattle were drowned at the bridge. Captain Hayes- good work at Salt Fork bridge kept him and hU troops from getting to the Oklahoma border until this morning. A careful esti mate by the Star reporter, who was on the border last night, is that within a radius of five miles from the border entrance on the Ponce trail fully five hundred men were at least a mile oyer the line. Wire fences divide the strip from Oklahoma. The men did not know . the j fence was the dividing line, or if they did. did not he edit; no soldiers were tfcete to'dispute their entrance or tell where the line was. Without let or hindj ranee, a great number of people went into Oklahoma as early as Saturday night. The sky was cloudless and it was cool this morning. The crowd at the depot was larger than was ex pected. CROWDED CARS READY TO START. From the top of the dipatcher' office a photographer took the crowd. Fourtiains with ten coaches each,' stood about ready to start, crowds of people walked up and down on the tops of the cars. The moment the doors were thrown open tbe cars were filled, The crowd followed the news- 1 - . . i.. paper men, wnicn train si&nea nm. Fifty tents which were pitched about the depot were down before six o'clock. It estimated that 5,000 men were at the depot awaiting transportation. ihe outhts at the depot were stnk mg; spades and axes were the most common equipments. Before the train started, the town was almost de serted, there were many women among those to go to Guthrie. Danger seemed to have been lost sight of. Many crowded under the cars until the police stopped them. 1 THE PRESS CARS. It was just 8:50 when the first trai pulled out. Ab'mt from a thousa d voices announced -all. The press car was next to the engine and eight cars were attached; fully fifty persop in the press car and many had no creden tials. Many freight cars have been sup plid with seats to follow later. At St. Louis " and " San Francisco erosticg where a stop was necessary, .the peo ple besieged the first tram but tbe euards kept them off. Just outside the city, two daring men got on the airbrakes under the press 'car. At the speed at which the train started it will reach Gutbiie late. The wagon bridge across Arkansas river was full of settlers and wagons. Two men jumped on the cowcatcher but were put off. i , THE CROWD AT WICHITA. Shree train loads of boomers, n tim bering about 1,500 people left here for Oklahoma this morning, over the Santa Fe Road; a large number also left by way of the Rock Island. Another train was called for. CAPITALISTS READY. FOR BUSINESS, Newton, Kan., April 22.- Three train loads of people bound for Okla homa left this morning oyer the Santa Fe; Among them were a number of capitalists, who will organize a bank and open stores to be ready for busi ness in Uutbne to morrow morning. Two hundred dwe lings were shipped ready to be put up m a couple ot hours. Development In tho Coal Mloet of TTet Tlralalo. Baltimore, April 22. President H. G. Davis, of the West Virginia Central Railroad Company, whose chief offices are in this city and New York, accompanied by his assistant, Emmons Blaine, to-day left this city for Norfolk. a., to pin a large party of railroad men and capital lists of tbe North, who will, to morrow, start for Pocahontas county,, W. Va., for the purpose of inspecting tbe coal lands in the county. The excursion is under the auspices of the Norfolk and West ern Railroad Company, along whose route the lands referred to Me ; it is claimed by geologists and coal mining experts, that the veins in Pocahontas are the largest in the United States, in some places reaching forty feet while, coal is of the best ooantityand so far as has been tested, is equal, if not 1 nperior for gas and steampurposes, to the celebrated Cumberland coal of Maryland and the Clearfield of Pennsylvania. It is pre dicted that the development of the Pocahontas coal region will prove the most important step that has been taken in West Virginia for many years. . Among those who are interested in the Pacahontas property, are, S. B. Elkins, of New York; Thomas If. Bay ard, John A. Hambleton, of Balti more and many other prominent parties. - Hot arm of 0uop WASHiSGTOK,April 22, Bight Bev.
