Terrible Accident to a Big
British War Vessel.-
FOUR HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
The Victoria Sunk by Collision
with a Sister Ship.
WENT DOWN IN PIPTEEN MINUTES.
The Fatality Occurred While the Vessels
Were Maneuvcrlng, and Resuited from
the Inability of the Officers to Control
the Movements of Their Vessels—A Les-
son to the‘dvics Of the World Against
Ponder-ous \Varships.
LONDON, June 2i.——A most; terrible cal-
amity has befallen the British battleship
Victoria, flagship of the Mediterranean
squadron, and four hundred lives have
been lost.
The Victoria, which flew the flag of
Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon, K. C. B.,
was run into 01f Tripoli by the British
battleship Camperdown, also belonging
to the Mediterranean squadron, and under
the command of Captain Charles John-
stone. The Victoria had an enormous hole
made in her side,through which the water
poured in torrents.
The immense hull of the Victoria, at
once began to settle, and before those on
board of. her could cast loose their small
boats she went to the bottom, carrying
down with her nearly all on board. Some
of the officers and crew managed to get
out of the suction caused by the sinking
vessel, and were rescued. Among those
lost is Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon.
commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean
station. He was made a vice admiral Aug.
20, 1891.
The list of officers drowned includes, be-
sides Vice Admiral Tyron. Chaplain Mor-
ris, Lieutenant Monroe, Fleet Paymaster
Rickcord, Fleet Engineer Foreman, Engi-
neer Harding, Assistant Engineers Dead-
man, Hatherly and Seaton: Gunner How-
ell. Boatswain Barnard, Carpenter Beall,
'vMidshipmen Inglis, Grieve, Fawkes, Lan‘
you, Henley, Gambler and Scarlett; Cadet
Stocks, and Clerks Allen and Savage.
As soon as the officers of the Victoria saw
that there was danger of their ship found-
ering orders were given to «close the colli-
sion bulkheads in order to keep the water
in the compartment in which'the Camper-
down had shoved her ram. The sailors
tried to obey the order, but the shipwas
the bulkheads, and while the men :were
still trying to shut them the vessel, with
her immense guns and heavy tOp hamper.
turned over and carried them down.
The scene of the calamity was near Trip-
oil, a seaport town on the eastern Mediter-
ranean, fifty miles northeast of Beyroot,
Syria, and a comparatively short distance
from theisland of Cyprus. '
The Victoria was a. twin screw battle-
ship of 10,470 tens and 14,000 horse power.
She mounted fifteen guns. The Camper-
_down is also a first class twin screw bat-
tleship. She is of 10,600 tons and 11,500
horse power and carries ten guns. The
complement of officers and crew of the
Victoria comprised 600 men. -
Rear Admiral Albert H. Markham, of
the Trafalgar, the flagship of the rear ad-
miral in the Mediterranean, has tele-
graphed to the admiralty from Tripoli,
Syria, as follmvs:
”I regret to report that while maneuver-
ing off Tripoli the Victoria and Caper-‘
down collided. The Victoria. sank in fifteen
minutes in eighteen fathoms of water.
She lies bottom uppermost. The Camper-
down’s ram struck the Victoria. forward of
the turret on the starboard side. TWenty-
one officers were drowned. Two hundred
and fifty—five men were saved. The injury
to the Camperdown has not yet been fully
ascertained, but it is serious and will ne-
cessitate her going on dock for repairs. I
propose to send the survivors to Malta."
Both the Victoria and the Camperdown
were accounted among the most efiective
,line of battleships in the English navy,
and were supposed to be a match for any-
thing afloat, although not quite ‘so modern
in type as the Empress of India, the Hood,
and a few other ships of the very latest
construction. Neither of them has been
ten years in commission.
The Victoria was the largest vessel ever
launched upon the Tyne up to 1888, and it
was necessary to dredge the river before
she could be taken to Chatham dockyard.
Her dimensions were: Length 340 feet,
breadth 70 feet, mean draught 25 feet 9
inches, displacement in tons 10,500, horse
power 12,000. She was protected by armor
18 inches thick, and! was armed with two
110-ton guns, one 30-ton gun, twelve 5-ton
guns. twelve six-pounder quick firing
guns, nine three-pounder quick firing
guns, besides machine guns for smaller
ammunition. ‘ She' also had a powerful
ram and eight torpedo discharges. Her
speed was 17.4 knots, or about twenty
. miles an hour. 1 '

more big” men-of-war, It was evident, he
said, that the Victoi‘ia’s armor afforded.
her'no firotection from the Camperdown’s’
ram. While not convinced that smaller
vessels were safer than lar e ones, i he
thought it wiser to distribute t e countryfs
naval strength among many less preten-
tious men-of—war, rather than among a
few monster battleships. It was poor pol-
icy to put so many eggs in one basket.
A court circular issued last evening says
that the queen received the news with the
deepest grief and that “her heart bleeds
for the many homes plunged in mourn-
ing.” The queen publishes today a special
letter of condolence with the families af-
flicted by the disaster. ,
A dispatch just received from Beyroot
says the collision occurred at 5 o’clock in
the afternoon, about seven miles from
Tripoli. The vessels were almost at right
angles when the Victoria was struck.
These'i'on the Victoria’s deck at the mo-
ment'of thécollision scrambled OWay and
were rescued by boats from the Camper-
down and several other vessels. The men
below had no time to reach the deck. The
sudden keeling of the .Victor‘id caused her
to begin to fill immediately and no escape
was possible. She went down in eighty
fathoms of water. It is difficult to obtain
the names of the rescued, as they are
aboard several vessels. and so far all efforts

ing car.- no théb‘i‘j‘l's' that on account

ble and could not be gotten out of the
amperdoWn’s way.
LORD HANIILTON’S VIEWS.
He Explains Why the Vessel Sank So
' Rapidly.
An interview washed with Lord George
Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, to
ascertain his views as to the disaster. He
said that without a doubt the Camper-
down’s ram had cut away the plating on
the Victoria, outside of several of her
transverse bulkheads. Had this not been
the case the bulkheads could have been
closed and the water kept in one, or at
most, two compartments, and the vessel
would still have floated. But with the
plating torn off or cut away outside of
several of the bulkheads the inflow of
water Would have been enormous, and
there would have been no time, even if it
would have availed anything, to close the
bulkheads.
Lord Hamilton further said he thought
with the plating torn off the water must
have entered the ship in a. solid mass, and
thus entering on one side caused the ves-
sel to capsize almost immediately. The
blow from the Camperdown, he thought,
must have been delivered slantingly to
have done the damage he thought had
been done. The damage would be all the
greater to a ship with her bulkheads
pierced. She would thus be worse off than
a ship with no bulkheads. ‘
The cause of the collision, he said, was a
matter of conjecture, and he declined to
express an opinion on this point.
A LESSON TO THE NAVIES.
Ponderons “’ar Vessel; Inefficient for
Rapid Maneuvering.
QUEBEC, June 2i.—The loss of the war-
ship Victoria, with its attending terrible
sacrifice of life, is looked upon here as con-
firming the opinion of many naval officers
concerning the monster warships of the
present day. While the Victoria might
be unmatched as to efficiency in bombard-
ing a seaport town or in destroying a sea-
coast, local experts say she was decidedly
too unwieldy for serious maneuvering off
seaboard. Naval engineering, they point
out, has not progressed as rapidly as naval
architecture, and the stupendous mass of
the 10,000 ton warship cannot be con-
trolled with the ease that the navy officer
generally desires.
It had been thought twin screws were
the desideratum _so longed for. They
proved themselves excellent indeed, but
the delay and waste of energy in propell-
ing the leviathans is still the same. There
is no doubt in the minds of those here who
have knowledge of naval architecture that
the loss of the Victoria was mainly due to
the defects referred to above.
They say further that while scarcely
anything has been done to nullify the
deadly action of the “ ram,” the navies of
the world have given hardly a thought to
lifeboat drill, a proof of which is seen in
the immense loss of life in connection with
the sinking of the Victoria. Taking it
altogether the disaster is regarded here as
a severe lesson to the navies of the world.
AT THE GREAT FAIR.
A Model of the Ill Fated Victoria on
Exhibition. .
CHICAGO, June iii—The most conspicu-
ous naval exhibition in the Transportation
building at the fair grounds is a model of
the ill fated warship Victoria,whose wreck-
ing is chronicled. It occupies a command-
ing position in the main. aisle, close to the
elevator shaft, and for the special con-
venience of visitors a. double stairway with
brass railings has been erected in front' of
the model. Everything is shown in per—
foot design and material, even to the great
torpedo net from stem to stern. When
Thomas Baker, secretary of the Irish com-
mittee and superintendent of the British
exhibit in the Transportaion building,was
informed by the reporter of the disaster
wrote: out the following card, which was
placed in front of the model for the infor
mation of vi itors:
“Total loss of the Victoria. The Vic~
toria foundered of}? Tripoli with a loss of
of 400 lives, the result of a collision with
H. M. S. Camperdown.”
The flags on the Victoria House and the
flags on the Canada and New South Wales
buildings have been at half mast in re-
spect to the memory of the late Australian
Commissioner Fisher, and later for Marc-
schal de Oliverra, of Brazil, but the flags
will remain at mourning height for many
days on account of the catastrophe to the
British navy.

MORTON Mann
The Secretary of Agriculture and
the Money Question.
L
Hopes the Sherman‘Silver' Purchase Law
Will be Repealed, but Thinks it Un-
certain—Fictitious Values Work Dis-
aster to the Producers.
WASHINGTON, June 24.——In an interview
on the money question Secretary Morton
expressed the hope that the .Sherman law
would be repealed by congress. In reply to
the query whether he thought the advo-
cates of the repeal would have to accept a
compromise the secretary said:
“I do not know about that. I am a little
uncertain as to just how congress. will
stand on that question. I am hopeful of
the repeal of the Sherman law, and think
it may be repealed, though there is an'ele-
ment of doubt. . I haveno objection to the
repeal of them per cent. bank tax as a
means of supplying the increased cur-
rency, which it is claimed is needed. I am
opposed to that tax chiefly because it Was
levied under false pretenses, and has no
right to exist. It is a prostitution of the
taxing power, because, under the pretence
of raising revenue, it was never intended
.to raise revenue, but to prevent the issu-
ance of state bank currency.
“I do not think there is danger of wild-
cat banking, for only that currency will
circulate 'which is based on sound secur~
ity, unless it is in the locality where is-
sued, and no where can it“ be forced into
circulation, for no state can give its cur-
rency a legal tender quality. The national
government alone can make a. currency a
legal tender. I see no objection to the re-
peal of the tax law as a compromise with
those who want more currency. ' ,
“Under one condition the abSolutely free
coinage of silver and gold alike might be
agreed to as a compromise. That is, if
' they both were deprived of their legal ten-
der quality. The stamp of the govern.
ment would then signify no more than
merely that the coin was of a certain
Weight and fineness, and the people could
take which coin they pleased and refuse
either if they did not like it. The two
sorts of coin would then be placed on th‘ ir
merits, and we could soon find out wli 't
the people wanted.
“Without the legal tender quality, de-
prived of the flat elements, silver would
have to depend on the proper measure of
supply and demand for its value, and it is
not difficult to judge which metal the
people would want, as long as the difier-
ence between the denomination value and
the bullion value of the coin is so great.”
Touching upon another branch of the
question the secretary continued: "There
is no advantage to the farmer or the
laborer in a redundancy of cheap money.
It raises the price of the farm products in
cheap money, cutting off the export trade
and narrowing the market. With a ficti-
tious price put upon wheat through the
cheapness of the money with which it. is
purchased the foreign purchaser 'cannot
afford to deal with our farmers, but go to
India, Russia or the Argentine for his
wheat. The consequence of £1113 is hard
times here and the export of gold frbm the
country. As soon as our wheat gets down
to a price where it can find purchasers
abrcad as soon as we begin to sell "to fOr-
eign purchasers, the supply and the de-
mand alone regulating the price, the gold
begins to come back to us. The turn in
the tide of gold noticeable within the past
few days was due to the sales of Wheat,
which had been brOught about by the
necessity the holders were under to raise
money.’ ’ .
