GRAPHIC STOKIKS OF WRECK. Hairbreadth Escapes anrl Harronins; Scenes AVhcn the I'aclflc Mall Steamer Collma Foun dered. On Thursday at San Franfi?r th San J'lan arrive.l from Pauatna and way ports with survivors of tbe M-rf"k'l r.-Htl Mnii steamer Colima. Oeorge D. ltos.. formerly a mate on thi crui.er Olympia, nvs tb'j TTnit ! Pr- re porter the following grar-Li' account, of the wreck : 'Welft Matzlan Sun-Jay, May 2fi. nt 4 o'clock T. M., with a fair l.n-eze ll'i-.ving. Toward 9 o'do.-k in the rviiins; tho wind Increased a little and continued Mowinq pretty frf-sh all niht. N"xt morning at .ix o'clock the wind modrat'-d consid' iat.lv un til it acquired the pro'rtio?tr. of a liurri.-an. The Colima labor'-d h-avilv and it was ei-dt-nt that v wcr' In a very .re iri'.iis j.re dicameut. The t:reatet excit' incnt prevail ed on board. 'Uufortunath jusd. at the lat moment a fatal blunder was committed l. th- third of ficer, who cut the la.-hinK ...f a d-yk load eonhihtiiic of 3L'.0W ( t . f lumber. S rne of this was washed into the s a and what re mained on d'-ck was driven out. knocking down and manning tb..se whuin it stne-k. A parti, ularly heavy s.-a .-tru -k tlicshij.. tumb lintr the forema-t ami Mnoke Ma-k. Shortly before this, however, a su.-' -i.-.-i-.u of lni.'e waves had punched n h.,1" in nir starboard bow, through .vhi.-h the "a ...urt'd. ' men screamed and rurdied up the c.mpaniou way. imploring the ni'-n to save them. The Ehip fjave a couple ! heavy nil, and an enormous sea . limbed on us. sma.-li' d the hurricane deck and with one miVhty lur- h the ship went down. As sh" was unking h"i la.t lurch I dove into th" s-a and w h-n 1 came up she was ut oi siht. IVopIe were floating around. Inrim: to all s..rts .f wrectne, and s. ne sinking under nnr very ey-s. Some whu had managed to rasp hold oT boxes to pliiiiks were kn.i. ked sense less ami drowned. The force and fTe t of this floating rail's of lumber c;uir."t be de scribed. It caused th-death f m t-iv who mitrlit otherwise have been suvt-d. 'It is a difll.-i.lt matter to say to what cause the wreck of the Odima is attributable. She must certainly have shitted h-r eario. as her strong list to poit showed. "1 llrmlv believe that but forth shift in;,' of the enro the ship would have rid h-n out the pale. I had been in the water soue- httl time, elinin to one object m another, when finally I managed to get hold of a r,'" l sized piece of hurricane deck, upon which L climbed, and being elr.se to shore was soon picked up." T. J. Oriel, an f leet ri.-i.-tn on his way to Mexico, gave at.... it. the same version of the oommeueenient of the storm. 11 said the Colima, during the height of the storm, listed so badly after eneh sueceeding rush of waves that she did n,,t recover. About !' oVp.ck on the morning of the wreck, he said: - went below to the steerage quarters and noticed water coming into the starboard scuppers. Shortly afterward a (uartermaster came down Paying the captain wanted to see the engineer. The latter went or. deck, but re turned to the engine r m in three or four minute? looking like a d'-ad man. His fa-e was ashv pale. That was tin last seen of him. 'By this time the steerage passengers had nil gene below. Then the seven nifii-o'-warsmen from the American cruis'-rs Olvmpia and Philadelphia tried to console thos-nroun-l them. One of these lluallv told u. we were doomed. 'We shook hands, said good-bye and he knelt on a saek of Hour and said prayers. 1 thcD started to go on deck, hut the ship listed o badly I could scarcely make tuy way np Ftairs. At this time the third oflleer cut the lashings that bound the lumber deck load. The smoke-sta- k had toppled over. F made for a 1'oat. intending iu cut it lone from it fastenings, but was unable to d. so. The phip was on her beam ends, and the decks bulged out and were finally rent. I then jumped into the water, seized a box and was washed about from one llo.it t another like many others. The heaviest "quail came just following the disappearance of the ship. Whilo it prevailed many of those who were struggling in the waves were mangled and drowned by floating lumber. Five id us. Tom Fitch, Jack Carpenter, two Mexicans and myself, ot on a raft and wore picked up by a boat in command f t'apt. '.-nig. formerly captain of the t'olima. A Mexican named Zerrabia went cra'.v from drinkim.' palt water." Oeorge Kowan. another passenger agrees In the main wih the previous statements of the storm and a i led "There wa absolutely no discipline, no organisation of any kind. Everything was panic. The captain stood on the bridge. Women screamed and th children cried, clinging in desperation to their parents and even to strangers. A soon as I became convinced that the ship was doomed I hastily pulled down S'-me life preservers. When seen by the steward he ordered me peremptorily t discontinue what 1 was doing. Without paying any attention to him I kept on pulling down life belts and passing them out. As f am unab!.: to swim 1 tied one of these belts around me and Jumped into the sea. Three times I sank, and had just reached for a piece uf wreckage when I was again knocked under bv some thing, presumably a plank, a large gash was cut in mv head and I am cut and 1 ruis ' 1 all over.

Gray, a druggist of Gor ton, was fined for violating the law. and he endeavored to secure a revered of the judg ment on the ground that the law was in vio lation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution.

An ingenious method of testing genu has been devised bv a Holland expert- lie uses doublo nitrate of silver and thallium a liquid so dense that all gems will float upon it, yet capable of being gradually diluted.

As the liquid is diluted and becomes less dense one after the other sinks, according to its specific graTity. Of course, if the stone is genuine, the etandard gem of the same kind sinks at the same instant ; otherwise it will not. New York Sun, OLNKY SKCRKTAUY OF STATK.

Brad-treet's Commercial report says of last week: The speculative spirit which seemed to dominate both commercial and financial circles until a week or ten days past is stiil less conspicuous in all lines. While business throughout the country m&y be characterized a quit" raw. the tone of Staple markets continues strong, and confi dence in a good demand when the fall sea son opens nest month remains unabated. The feature of the week, as heretofore, is the continued long list ol advances In prices, notably those in iron and steel, and the up ward movement of lank clearings. Higher prices are recorded for some cotton goods, shoes, hides, leather, paper, pig iron, teel galvanized iroe. black sheets, canned goods, hogs, wheat, corn, oats and some grades of wheat flour. Prices for live cattle, wool, coal and lumber are reported unchanged and firm, with silver, cotton pel roelc.m and lardalone noteworthy as showing lower prices than last week. Southern cities In most instances report trada and collections fair, with no special change from last week. Alight gain ia de mand is reported from Atlanta and Jackson ville, where collections are als.j better. An improved condition of business prevails at New Orleans. Failures in four weeks of May showed liabilities of SD.329.1S!, of which i3,401,876 were of manufacturing aud $5,345,306 of trading concerns. Last vear the total was $.787,921. of which 4. 001,692 was of manu facturing and $4. 21. s6 of tradingconcerns. Failures for the week have been 195 in the United States against 216 last year and i'5 in In Canada, against 40 last year. A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK SOUTHERN BUSINESS IMPROVING New Cotton Mills, Oil Mills, and Other Enterprises Building. Special reports to the Baltimore Manufac turers' Record covering the jod istrial and general business progress of the South dur ing the past week shows continued improve ment, with a steady increase in railroad earnings aud bank clearings as compared w ith the corresponding period of last year.

The New York Chronicle has issued its annual statement of cotton acreage, stand and condition. The e-timatel decrease in acreage by States follows: North Carolina, 20 per cent.; South CaroJmi. 10 per cent.: Geor gia, 13 per cent.; Florida, 5 per cent. ; Ala bama. 11 percent.: Missi'sppi, 10 per cent Louisiana. 14 percent.; Texas, 11 rr eett Arkansas. 12 per cent.; Tennessee, 9 per cent. : other States aad Territories, 12.' fer cent, ine average decrease Is 11. b per cent. 1 he a r.-age is j .joT.MU against 20.107.217 The small decrease in Florida is due to larger pb.nting ol se.i island cotton. The crop is unquestionably lat". The weather up io Mav 'Li was not favorable. It is not certain whether permanent injury has resulted or not. rr-.bauly serious harm ha resulted in onlv limited areas. Cultivation has not been as thorough as it was a year ago. Tlmr" has been very heavy decrease in the taking of commercial fertil isers. 1 nt t home made fertilizer a slightly gr at' r use is reported. The condition ' the piant was ls? satisfac tory at t he close of the month than at the same dat" Pu-t v .r. The Stutea of les promise are the ( aroiina and Georgia, but the plc.ut is lat almost everywhere and so is firm woik. Th" edition is not ne3anly unpromising.

The s0.000 in gold t ar? stvl-a from the Carson miLt was re tv-r-d ia a most unex pected way when the Government offlcers dug up the treasure in the wood-shed of W'm riekler. an employe? in th rnelu-rs' and re Unrrs' department, who ha t not even b-n supe .t"d. P.ckl r was 'rayed by a wo man with wu j.-n h" hil be-ea living, and whom he Iih i a1 iiel.

This discovery bear out the ca. which the gov. ernnvi.t"expert hal fom.ulat'- l against the employ ?es in this department. If any one cl the gang now turns State's evidriiCe the whole truth will ciiie out. The latest fish story is that the ehape of a fishhook has not changed ia twenty centuries. FOR FREE SILVER. THE ILLINOIS CONVENTION. Platform Adopted Judge Samuel P. JleComiell's Speech. The Illinois Democratic Silver Convention met at Springfield on Wednesday. Secretary of State Heinri-.hsen. by virtue of his efflce, chairman of the Pemocratic State central committee, ealied the meeting to order. Temporary Chairman Crawford said he wouid Lot delay the proceedings of the con vention by making a speech. He would, however, say that the eyes of the whole country were on this convention. Let its action be no uncertain on". Let it not beat about the bush, nor mince matters, but de clare unconditionally for gold or for the free and unlimited coinage of silver t 16 to 1. After disposing of routine business th following, platform adopted: Whereas, silver and gold have oeen tne principle money metals of the world for thou sands of years and silver money recognised and used as honest money between nations twithstanding the varying ratios between silver and gold, and. Whereas, The demonetization of silver has dei. rive. 1 th" people of the free use and benefits of an invaluable aud original money m'-tal. and has increased debts and added to the burdens cl the people by lowering the Milne of labor products, and. Whereas. The constitution o tne Unite.l Stafs prohibits the use of anything but. gold an 1 silver coin as legal tender br tne pay ment of d"bts. thereby recognizing that coin m posed of silver and gold is honest money and lit to be i1e.l as a legal tender; there- lore, by the Democracy of Illinois, in coa- veiitiem assembled, be it 'Resolved. That we ave in favor of the use of both gold and silver as the standard nev of the United States, and demand the free and unlimited coinage of both nittals at the ratio of 1G to 1 Without waiting for the a. tioii of any other ne.lion, and that such coins .-hail be a 1-g.il tender for all debts, both public and private, and thnt all con tracts hereafter executed for the payment of money, whether in gold, stiver or coin, may be discharged bv anv money which Li by la w gal tender. We hereby endorse the action of the Democratic State cutrai committee incallmg this convention, and we instruct the com mittee to carry out the will of this conven tion as expressed in its platform by inaugu rating and carrying on a campaign oi educa tion in this State, and to thoroughly organize the Democracy ol" the State on the lines laid down in tne platform ol this convention. "Resolved, That wo request the Demo crat!.; national committee to call a Demo cratic national convention to consider the money question not later than August. 1S'J5. If the said national committee refuses to call such a convention, then we invite the Demo cratic State committees of the other States to take concurrent a-tiott with the Democrats State committee of this StrU- in calling such convention. "Resolved, That the Demcratic members of Congress and members of the S -uate from this State bo and are hereby instructed to use every honorable means to carry oat the principles above enunciated." Judge Samuel P. M.-Counell was then con ducted to the chair and spoke as follows: "This convention has a most peculiar and mort important significance. Heretofore, managers of political parties have soar ranged that party policies should be declared only at the time candidates were chosen, and only h short time tefore the gathering of the franchises i.f the people.

REGISTRATION LAW. ARGUED BEFORE THE V. S. CIR CUIT COURT OF APPEALS. Chief Justice Fuller and Judges Hughes and Seymour On the Bench. Arguments of Coun sel Heard la Full. The South Carolina registration cas. was fully argued cn Friday in the U. S. Court of Appeals before Chief Jus tice Fuller and Judges Seymour ind Hughes at Richmond, Ya., and was taken under coi.sideration by tbo Court. The recorel of the case contains a great pi mity of irrelevant and unnec essary matter, but the gifct of the case seems to be this: The constitution of South Carolina provides that "Every male citicu of the United States, uf the nge of twebtyMiiie your a and up wards, who shall hereafter reside in this fitate one year, and in the county in which he oilers to vote sixty days next preceding huv election, shall be entitled to ote." Certain persons named are jo.it uu.ler disabili ties, 'i lie State is. piveu author ity to pass a registration lnw. It then provides that "the Gen, ml Assembly shall never pass uny law that will de prive any of the citizens of this State of the right of stifliHge, except for treason, murder, robbery, or duelling, whereof the pet son ihtill have been duly tiivd and convicted." The fol lowing is an extract Imm the opinion dolivired by judge Cuff, yvhcii he granted the injunction that was ap pealed from: "While, as a rule, the Tights of ft citizen of a State ale such as nil citi zcus of the United States enjoy, ytt this 1 l iintitV has nlse certain lights un der the Constitution of South Carolina, by virtue of Ihe net of Conguss of June '2'), 1S')S. which was accepted ami acted upon by that State, in which it is- provided that the Constitution of said Stfite shall never be feo changed as to depiivc nuy citizen r class of citi zens of the United States of the right to vote in said State, who nre entitled to vote bv the Constitution of the same, recognized in said net, except as a punishment for crime. The Con stitution there referred to is one from which I have before quoted the pres ent orcanie law ol that rttute. as herein before set forth. Judge (loff seems to have made the plaintiff's right to au injunction turn principally upon the idea that the act of Congress had fastened the provis ions of her Constitution respecting the right of suffrage upon South Car olina perpetually, and that any law passed by her Legislattue that violated those provisions of her Constitution. was nt onlv n violation of a voter'a rights as n citizen of the State of South Carolina, but a violation of the rights which th- net of Congress of June 25th, 1S08 secured to him. and therefore, a case here arises of which a Federal court had jurisdiction. He discus-ted the fourteenth amt ndmeiit eonsideiii blv as bearing on the case, but the forecoing seems to have been what he most relied n. He ma.b- out the violation of the plaintiff's light thus: The registt nti. in law of South Caro lina provides thus: Voters shall be reg istered find no one shall be nllowed to vote unless ngistered necordii.u t the provisions, of the act. When a reg istration has bee ii compleb d the books shall bo closed and not reopened until alter th'- next gen ral election, and then only for those who became entitled to npictcr after that ebetion. They are to be ope tied on the first Monday in each month until the first Monday in uly j receding the text general election, arid not reopened un til after the next genera! election The law thus provide:, for r-qisteritig such persons as were entitled to register when it went into effect, and s'" b as acquired the right theieafter The law. tl-rtfore, closes registra tion July 1st, tliouuh the ikrtiou does not take place until the following November. Judeti .dT thought tl is an unreasonable requirement, as it prevented r gistratiou pt the very time voters were becoming most iu terestcd in elections. The law also required voters to get a certificate that they were registered, aud that tbey were not to vote unless they carried the certificate to the polls. In case a voter removes from one county to another, or from one precinct in a county to another, or from one resi dence in u jMcmet to anotL.tr, he shall obtain :i tiHi.-s.fvr and a rene wal certificate. Judge Croff he 11 that all these wr tinresxonal !c vexatious and burden some- ie- addition to the rt'piiremects of Const'tntiou of the State, when th the act of Cong res bad provided that there should be no substantial change in the citizen's MgLt to vote. Judge- Guff .liscus-ed the rights of the negro s v ery folly in Iph ' pinion, but there se-ems to be t; thing in the case to sho tLt the plaintiff was a negro, though Judge GofT sat-s that he was. The vi-t l-fiit tie court aros his: The Letrislatrire of So'ith Carolina passed an act ia Itctrnler, lr4, pro viding forthc railing of a constituionsl convention. Those requirements oi the law then t lifting were made necessary for voters in voting for dele gates to the convention, and some others were added which Judge off thought as injurious as those mentioned. The plaintiff filed his bill in the United State Circuit Court asking that the oSicersbe enjoined from execut ing the act providing for electing members of the constitutional conven tion. He-averred in his bill that he "failed to regi-ter at the registration made after the general election of 1$, or to be registered during the ten days in March l.SLV. provided for in said act of If:1 1, because, although he made repented and persistent etTrts to become registered, he fotiud himself unable to comply with the unreason able, unnecessary, and burdensome rules, regulations, and restrictions prescribed by sail unconstitutional registration laws as conditions preced ent to his light to register," though he does not fy the officer of the Stite prevented his tegistei ing.
