The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steamer "Walla Walla, Captain Hall, which left this city January 1, bound for Puget Sound ports, met with disaster yester day morning iu a collision with an un . known iron 'sailing vessel and foundered. News of the disaster was brought to Trinidad about thirty miles north of this place, by a boat from the unfor tunate steamer. Avhirh. w-hn it - inft : c-ene of the disaster, contained thirteen persons, but Avhen it arrived in, Trinidad 1 contained but seven. Later the steamer Mspatch arrived with sixty of the pas-M-ngers-and crew on board, including Captain Hall. . Particulars, of 'the disaster :are hard to obtain at this time. The crash occurred early in the morning while most of the passengers were asleep. Boats and life rafts were launched immediately, and under the direction ofCantnin TTnll nnrl his crew most of the passengers were placed safely cn rafts and in the boats, but "it is believed that" the loss of life will be considerable. Turs have been ent from here to the scene of the wreck. The Walla Walla carried six first-class passengers, twenty-eight second-class and a crew of sixty men. The steamer Walla Walla was one of the best known vessels on the coast. She was owned by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and has been ply ing between Puget Sound and San Fran cisco for years. She was an iron-serew steamer and was built by John Roach Sous in 1881. Captain Hall tells the following story of the disaster: - "We left Jnn Francisco Wednesday, bound for Victoria and Puget Sound. The. weather thickened as, night ' ad vance, and Thursday morning a heavy fog accompanied by a light rain set in. About 4.10 I was suddenly awakened by an awful crash on the port side, we;l forward. Toie second "officer, Mr. Luke, was on watch. The .housing, especially in the vicinity of my cain, was badly shattered, the main force ot the collision Striking her just forward of my state room. My bunk was struck find thrown across the room onto my table. After the crash the vessel, rrhich I think was a' Freeh -bark, judg ing from the language used by her panoars, rebounded and. scraped al ng ride.

Those. of the passengers who had no; been awakened by the crash were rous ed at once. The vessel bga.-j t lill liijiiit-diately ami she sank in - 35 min utes. There was no confusion on board, the officers and, crew keeping "passen gers from being p;'iiic strickec. Tk? Legislation. Proposed delating to the Militia Proposed to Remedy a Situ ation That is Regarded as Obsolete and Inadequate " Washington, Jan. 3. The much-talk-ed-of militia bill, which the War De partment has had under consideration for sevral months, and which is ex pt cied to meet with considerable oppo sition from the Senate, will nOi bd pre sented to Co-igress until after the Na tional Guard Conference to be held lere soon. It it the intention of the Hwretary, of War to wait until he fcas lenrned the views of the National Guard-officers who will issemble in Washington to discuss militia affairs before sending the propsed bill to Con gress. The bill when completed, Will probably provide a surprise in some of its features and surprise every one. The general trend of militia discus sion has been that considerable legisla tion is needed. This view will not be fmstained by Secretary .Root. He is of the opinion tha,t but iitile legislation Is needed and, that only to make more uc-finite the power of the federal gov ernment' over the stace militia.v The officials of the War Department see in this ' question the weakest featuree of ilie military 'system of the Uited States povernmenti and are convinced that it liemands the urgent attention of Con ?r p-s. . A careful inquiry among the national puard organizations of the country shows that the states are opposed to confer ring any greater power upon the Pres Men't to use the militia, and in many Instances will not .admit that Congress has any right , to order them out in Why Spain Delayed London, Jan. 3 T)z. .-.Madrid corre Fl'ondenr of the Standard attributes the elay in signing the Spanish-American treaty to the fact that Spain w not dis posed to allow Americans to acquire MINUTES crew was immediately ordered to man I the life boats and rafts. An effort was rustle to save the baggage also. Tms was given up, . however, the vessel fill ing at such an alarming rate that no thought was given but for the safety of the passengers. I gave orders to have the port boilers blown outfit be ing necessary fo give the vessel a lit :o keep the gaping hole in hr side out of the 'water. In a few minutes all the life boats and rafte were out with the exception of two. 'which were smashed. One of these boats contained niue or tea passengers. All were thvown into the water, , but managed, to board the life' raft which had been launchel a few minutes previously. The second :- t was smashed by striking a heavy .' set in the water,, but all the passn- s were rescued by another life ra'f. i went down with the ship. After I had been down some time the social hall deck' broke off and I floated to the surface with it. Sighting the life raft I succeeded in reaching it after a hard struggle. We floated about nearly all day, and early in the evening were picked up a few miles to the north of the wreck by the steamer Dispatch." , Assistant Engineer Brow.i's boat reached Trinidad after being fiwamped three times by the heavy sea. At each .time some one was lost, and although the boat had thirteen in her when she left the ship it reached Trindad with only seven. The condition of the wo men on the life raft with Captain Hall and in the boats was pitiable, as they were thinly clad. Captain Hall wfi given a red shirt waist by One woman with which he signalled the steamer Dispatch. . . San Francisco, Jan. 3.

She js commanded by Captain Johnson. Capttin Hall of the Walla Walla reported to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company this morning by telephone. He said that the Walla Walla collided with an unknown French bark at -1 o'clock yesterday morning during hazy weather. The French ves sel had no lights displayed. The Walla Walla sank in fifteen minutes. Captain Hall has ordered tug boats fromEureka sent fo search for three missing life boats of the Walla Walla. h Seattle, Jan 3. The steamer Walla Walla,' which row, wa s m akin thirteenth voy c;sco and fceattie. fortunate vessel in fehe was the most the Pacific Coast trade, liaving had but one trifling 'acci- dent on Pugefr Sound, which only dela.v ed her few hours. She was to have Irfien changed to a collier and arrange ments were made for a change on the first of March. Captain Hall, her com mander, .was one of the most skillful navigators on the coast. lie recently paved the British ship Xefeon and wew and towed the distressed veSsel to, the srraits. Out of the list of thirtv-nine passengeis bound for th:s city, sixteen are accounted for. time of war or to provide for their use by the federal government. Their claim is that they are strictly a state institution under the sole command of the governor. This view is held not withstanding the constitution says that Congress shall have power to provide for calling forth the militia to exe cute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel invasion." Con gress, acting upon this authority, con ferred upon the President power to use the militia, but this act of Congress is now said to be obsolete and ambigu ous, and Secretary Hoot's proposed bill will provide for its being amended. That action was adopted as long ago as 1795 and says: "Whenever the United States are in vaded or are in imminent, danger of invasion from any foreign nation or In dian tribe,' or of rebellion against the authority of th government of tho United States, it shaft be lawufi for the President to call forth such number of militia of the state or sta'tes most convenient to the place of danger or scene of action, as he may deem neces sary to repel such invasion, and. to issue Ms orders for that purpose to such officers of the militia s'he may think proper." x This provision is considered inade quate and antiauated by army officers, and the efforts of the Secretary of .War will be directed to securing legislation by Congress which will not tie the Pres ident's hands with so many conditions. It is thought thgir whf n the national guard officers assemble in Wa&hing-tor- they- will reach some agreement themselves as to how ithe law should be amended, and' Secretary Root will try to shape his proposed bill with a view to securing the approval of the national guard before placing it 'before Con gress. .

Jan. S.-The advisory com - mittee. which is to supervise the appti-. cation of the gift of $1,000,000 for the better treatment of tuberculosis, refuses to confirm or deny any of the reports regarding the identity of the donor. This is in deference to the King's express wish for secrecy. A member of the committee states "the scheme is intende I to benefit chiefly the lower middle class and clerks and shop assistants while there wil be twelve beds for mere wealthy people who may prefer an in stitution under royal patronage to a pri vate sanitarium, and who at the same time would be benefiting the resources of the institution."

An important edict was issued today stating that after arriving at Pekin January 7, the Em peror intends to visit the ancestral tem ples and perform his neglected sacri fices. This indicates a resumption of imperial functions by him. It is further stated that the Empress Dowager pro poses visiting the various provinces with the EmiK?ror after he performs his sacn fices The Emperor announces his inten- ' tion hereafter to give audiences to tne,theni were the prominent men of the foreism ministers ana commanas xue foreign board to formulate rules of pro cedure for these occasions. In conclusion the edict contains a di rection by the Emperor that the expendi- tures are excessive and that the people the clerks Mr. Payne received a horse have been burdened by the extravagant shoe of flowers. - expenses or tne imperial cortege. 9 . He, therefore directs that a plan be ar ranged for effecting economies in the future. . , " .

Has Attended All Lines of Business Enter prise the Future rail of Promise New York, Ja:.. ; Dun's Ileview to morr'ow will say: ; Superlatives oi the most emphatic kind are newded ia delineating the finan cial and commercial progress of this na tion during 1901. Despite the elements, strikes, .speculative panics, foreign dis asters end the assassination of Presi dent McKinley, the first year of the new carftury was productive of many nesr high records of prices, outnnt and distribution. It was in this last respect that results wre most satisfactory, for pjtee have often been inflated beyond reason and heavy production exceeded needs until accumulated stocks caused disastrous reactions, iu the year just ended, however, the nnparallel'ed output of manufactured goods did not result disastrously, consumptive demand not only keeping pace with but often run ning far ahead of available supplies. Phenomenal shipments brought the greatest railway earnings ever attained, yet the year closed with congestion at many point? because transportation fa cilities were utterly inadequate. Bank exchanges, the best measure of trad after making due allowances for specu lative activity, far surpassed all pre vious records. ' Labor disputes were numerous and stubborn, yet all reached amicable "conclusions with less blood shed and destruction of property than in earlier years, while the formation of a committee of conciliation promises fewer prolonged controversies hereafter. The new year opens most auspiciously, and-the rising tide of prosperity should bring many new high water marks. With labor well employed at the high est wages ever paid, the cost of living logically moved to' higher level. Dun's index, number one, January 1, 1902, shows that the prices of all commodities when multiplied by the amount annually consumed per capita, aggregated $101. 58, surpassing all recent records by -a large margin. . ailures during 1901 were larger hi number than in 1900, Which was to be expected in view of the many new firms'" organized. Prosperity has an unavoid able tendency to enlarge the number of defaults, : since a . moderate degree in success leads, many inexperienced, men to go into business Von their - own ac count. Thus while the 11,002 commer cial failures in 1901 exceeded the 10, 774 in the previous year, Ahere was, a most gratifying decrease in amount of defaulted indebtedness to $113,098,376, against $139,495,073 in 1900. Banking liabilities aggregated bnt $13,018,774, against $35,617,583 in the previous year. In the leading manufacturing indus tries there was general phenomenal ac tivity, blast furnaces reaching a new 'i. gh record of -weekly capacity at 324, 701 tons of pig iron, while of all finished steel products the output was remark able. Textile milk began the year rath er unsteadily, but gradually shared in the improvement, closing 1901 with much business in sight. 1 Wall street enjoyed an even greater degree of activity than the industries. Sales of stocks exceeded those Of 1900 by 44 per cent, in number of shares, WANT ELBOW ROOM Government Departments Are Crowded Too Much Washington, Jan. 3.-The first cabine t session of the new year, which lasted -1 1 1 J A a n 4- less than an Hour ana a nan, b1 Klv time in discussing the se- rious need for more room an the gov ernmental departments.

BBADSTUBET'S RBVIJBW The JPast Hear. Satisfactory an tit 4 t . Prospect Promising New York, Jan. 8. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: . Satisfaction with the old and confi dence in the new year re the domiaanl features of the .entire industrial, cooi metcial and fialncial situation. The week has actually been Quiet to th verge of dullness, as regards 'new fcuai ness, the main attention being com.cn trated in gathering up the threads of old business, in stock taking and preparation; for 'the future. Final returns cf hank; clearings, of local movements, of ehof! shipments, of lake transportation and oft railway building all go to confirm pre viously established satisfactory reports. The enoarmons af gregate f clearing which were record breakers in nearly: eveiy respect, are supported by advices of record shoe shipments from afitern manufacturing centers, the Increase be ing fully 1Q per cent over last year, by reports of 10 per cent larger traffic passing through Sco Canal and of ad-: vices of the largest mileage of new, railway building since 1890. Contrary; to the usual custom, there is a strikingly smaller number of failures to report fet; the closing days of 1901, and tho return; in this respect lose only when compari-i-son is made with the preceding two very! favorable years. j A conspicuous exception to the. general) quietness is . found in the iron and steel) situation, which gains rather than loses activity. Here, however, the car short-, age question cuts a disturbing . figure and one which, in view of the advanced stage of the season, bids fair to continue to unsettle both production and consumption- considerably. . Floods in the milling regions have interfered yritk production, and the car shortage will accentuate the scarcity of coal, particularly bituminous. Anthracite supplies are. smaller, notwith standing total "produrtion last year m excess of 53,0Q0,000 tons, jet total of 1'-' per cent -larger thah; ever before pro duced, .. - ; . Prices show 'few changes on the week. The cereals rare, ori-the whole,r higher-, due mainly to .the strength of wheat, which still supports. 'the coarser grain. Small deliveries and firm, cables, with some-better export buying. early checked later by the advance, coupled with good buying by the country, are the strengtn ening features. Winter wheat crop rev ports are in the main favorable. Pro visions are steady except lard which has weakened slightly. Cotton has been shaded a little because of large receipts, which are, however, claimed to really represent good buying or export. Cot ton goods are quiet as usual at X'. in date, but closed the year. .901 much better than they began it. Quietness is the feature in leatherN and kindred trades, but an access rather than a loss in strength of prices, is looked far. Shoe shipments are smaller than. of late, bnt still in excess of a year ago. v - .
