London, Nov. 1. The Lisbon corres
pondent of the Times who has been to
the scene of the wreck ol the Steamship
Koumauia near Cape Fozlalooil has
suceeded in obtaining n louj; interview
with l.icut. Kooke and Capt. Hamilton,
the Hiilish urmy officers who were
saved. Doth of these officers complain
bitterly of the state of repair of the lost
steamship Routnauia. They complain ol
the failureof ship'sofiiccs to inform them
that the vessel had stranded and of the
omission of the crew to aid them in
lowering boats r.hcn they knew the
steamer was lost.
The Rouniania, according to l.icut.
Kooke and Capt. Hamilton, was steam
ing at the rate of five knots an hour
when she stranded. She struck in the
sand sixty yards from the shore. The
shock was so shunt that the passengers
had not the slightest idea of what had
hapiK-ned, nor were they informed that
a disaster had occurred. At 1 o'clock
the ship broke suddenly. An hour and a
half later a great noise m the ship's hold
from the shifting of iron bars, together
with the noise of the surf and of a heavy
rain siiiall aroused Lieut. Kooke who
says he left his cabin to impure on deck
what the trouble was. He was about
to assist in lowering a boat when the
vessel collapsed, lie was washed ashore
with a mass ol" wreckage.
Capt. Hamilton gays that he was aid
ing his wile to pass through a skylighl
when he was washed awav. He was un
conscious till he lound himself on shore
and he supposed that he had been
stutiued. Lieut. Kooke adds that he
moved about naked on the sand till day
break when he saw seven Lascars in a
cluster, all badly injured and near by
mother injured Lascar who soon died.
lie sent one Lascar northward while he
himself went southward in search of a
house.
About 1 o'clock in the afternoon Kookc
met a fiscal guard who returned with
him to the scene ol the wreck. The
icutenant was afterwards left alone in
niche in the cliff while the guard went
to Obilios to inform his superiors. The
guard did not return till the lollowing
ay. In the meantime, Lieut. Kookc,
who had been strolling about entirely
aked, met Capt. Hamilton, who was in
the greatest grief. Lieut. Kooke event
ually left him going another direction.
Capt. Hamilton soon met somebody
om 1'eniehe who took him to a hos
pital. A cart drawn by oxen appeared
it the scene of the wreck Saturday and
conveyed Lieut. Kooke ami the injured
Lascars to 1'eniehe alter two days and
nights spent in the open air, during
which time bands ol savages pillaged the
steamer's cargo and carried oil tons
of it.

o clock this morning great volumes ol
smoke and flames issued Irom the win
lows of the fourth story ol" the new Chi
igo Athletic club building on Michigan
avenue near Madison. Right in the rear
of the club house were the Continental
hotel and the St. Ilernard house whili
on the south ana north respectively,
were the Chicago fire cyclorama and the
Westcin bank note building.
The club house was supposed to lit lire
proof, but it burned like tiud.r and be
fore the fire company could get on the
ground, the whole interior was ablaze
Tue guests at the two hotels had
plenty of time to escape, even though
the fire had spread, they became frenied
by the sight of the flames so near and
began tumbling over each other in their
endeavor to escape from what seemed to
them certain death. A majority reached
the street via the staircase and every
one got out safely. In the meantime the
fire was rapidly consuming the clul
house and m less than lorty minutes
nothing was left but the bare
walls. The great mass of blazing
lebris showered on the cyclorama and
bank note companies buildini".s, but was
extinguished as last as it li II. 1 he cv-
clorama was damaged by water to a
considerable extent, but as vet it is im
possible to rstunutc the loss. The loss
on the Athletic building is variously esti
mated at from $80,000 to $ll!."i,0DO.
It was still in the hands of the contrac
tor who had not yet turned it over to
the Athletic association.

a Pullman Car.
Walter We'linan, the Chicago Herald
man who spent a lew days acre last
month, has written a two-column article
ibout Asheville, Dili Ne and the Yau-
detbilt estate. In his introductory re
marks Wellmau says:
1'ntil today I did not know that one
could go to paradise via a I'ulluian car.
But here I am in a country which the
celestial landscape artists might well imi
tate, even if they don't.
It is Indian summer here in the moun
tains ot Western North Carolina. The
nights arc so cool that one wears an
overcoat out of doors, and within draws
near the big fireplace in which the ash
logs arc crackling right merrily. The
days arc deliciously warm.hazv, languid
yet not wearisome. Around the moun
tain toos is a thin bunk ol blue smoke.
The air seems to be all ozone and the
sunshine all nectar, and you can't drink
in enough ol either.
It is a time am! a place in which to
loaf and invite one's soul. You lorget
the cares of life, its habits ami
weaknesses nil save the habit ol
eating. In Asheville your appetite
ross, material and ravenous will re
mind vou that though this is a paradise
it is only a paradise of theeaithearthy."
1 he underbill estate i then written
up, Hill .Nve comes in lor his share, and
the letter concludes:
"I hac talked so inuJi of N.c and
underbill and the palace that I have no
space lelt in which to describe the beau
ties ol "the land ol the sky and the in
teresting people who inhabit it. This
favored region lies from I'.OOO to II.OOO
feet above the sea, has neither mos
quitoes nor malaria an atmosphere
noted lor Us dryness and Us health giv
ing properties, its coolness in summer
md its saluonty in winter. It lias
scenery tar lamed, mountain peaus tlie
highest this side the Rockies and corn
whiskey and candied vams on which
Hill Nve is actually growing fat."

of the Republican standard-bearers, but
none of them is better than the one he
gets off about "Uncle Tommy's" first
tariff speech.
hen it came "I nele lommys turn

melodramatically shouted :
"I'cllow citizens, I propose to discuss
