A Netherlands Passenger Liner Run
Down by the Turkistan.

GAME TOGETHER IN THE FOG.

he Wreck Was Well Bundled by the

Officers and Not a Soul'Wac Lost—Tho
Unlucky Edam's History—Passen-
gers Landed at Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH, England,. Sept. 20,—The
steamship Beresford has arrived here,_
having in ,tow the trawler Vulture of}
Brlxhom and, four ship’s boats containing:
the captain, crew and passengers of the
Netherlands-American Steamship, com-"
pany’s steamship Edam of Rotterdam,
from New York bound for Amsterdam.

At 1 o'clock this morning the Edam
collided with the steamship Turklstan
when'50 miles southeast of Start' point.
The collision occurred in a dense fog. The
Edam foundered, and the Turklstan was
lost to view in the fog. The,captaln, crew
and passengers of the Edam, who had
taken 'to the boats immediately after the
collision, were picked up by the trawler.

The trawler Vulture wason the fishing
grounds, 15 miles from the Eddystone
lighthouse, last night. The night had
been clear.

Just before 1 o’clock a thick fog came
up. Those on board the Vulture heard a
great blowing of whistles and then a. ter-
rific crash.

The Vulture proceeded immediately to
the spot from which the sounds issued and
went alongside the steamship Edam,
which was rapidly filling.

Captain Bruinsma of the Edam re-
quested that the Vulture stand by. The
ship’s boats were then quickly lowered,
and the passengers were helped into them
without accident.

No Panic Among Passengers.

The passengers were greatly alarmed,
but there was no panic among them. The
majority went on deck without having
taken time to dress.

The women and children were first em-
barked in the ship’s boats. The sea at the
time of the collision was perfectly smooth.

The steamer Turkistan, which ' did not
appear to have sustained serious injury
by the collision, stood by until danger
was past and then proceeded in the di-
rection of Cardifi‘.

The Edam foundered at 3 o’clock, two ,
hours after the collision.

Later and fuller accounts of the disaster.
show that the Edam and the Turkistan
came together with great force, although
they were proceeding cautiously in the
fog. The Turkistan’s pro." made a great
hole in the side of the Ed: .11. ’ '

. Both vessels immediately lowered boats, ‘
and many passengers were transferred '
from the Edam by the Turkistan’s boats,
to those of the former ship. : _ ',

Another account says that the Edam '
foundercd within half an hour after the
collision. ' , '; -

Everything is being done at Plymouth .
to make the shipwrecked people comforta- .
bio and to =uppiylthcm with clothing, as '
all their l -gagc was lost. , ,_ "

The EC. 1 had on board 93 steerage pas-
sengers. 7 he Turkistan’s bows were bad-
ly damag. ii by the collision.

The Lost Steamship.

The Edam of the N etherlands-American
line is a brig rigged steel steamship of
2,267 net and 3,130 gross tons. , ‘ _

She was built in Rotterdam in 1883.
She is 330 feet long, 39 feet beam and 28
feet deep. She has six water tight bulk-
heads and compound cylinder engines of
350 horsepower. Her cylinders measure
43 and 76 inches in diameter, and her ple-
ton stroke is 48 inches. She was repaired
in 1886 and last surveyed in this pert in
1888.

She is a very comfortable, roomy vessel
of the old type, and although not a fast

‘ sailer she has always been counted 3. very

stench ship.

She left New York on Sept. 5, at 1 p.
m., and carried a mixed cargo valued at
about $120,000.
nine loads of corn and 900 tons of flour.

General Agent W. H. Van Dentoorn
said at the company’s office this morning
that he believed the cargo was insured.
The vessel was partially insured.

The Edam was fitted for the carrying of
freight and steerage passengers. She sel-
dom carried cabin passengers.

In the steerage there were accommoda-
tions for 1,600 people.

Her officers Were Captain Bruinsma,
First Officer Bare], Second Officer Van
Valkenburg, Third Officer Taat. First
Engineer Van Deutikorn, Second Engi-
neer Eerlict, Third Engineer de Beer and
Fourth Engineer Wagerandt.

Always Considered Unlucky.

LONDON, Sept. 20.—-Mr. Van Dentoorn
said that he was sorry to lose the ship,
but was rejoiced at the fact that the pus-
sengers had all been safely landed.

“Only yesterday,” said Mr. Van Den-
toorn, “the North German Lloyd steam-
ship Eider,,from New York for Bremen,
reported having spoken the Edam on the
15th inst. The latter had lost her screw
and was sailing before 'a fierce gale. ,.

“I never heard of the Turkistan be-
fore,” he continued, “and can give you
no information concerning "her. ”

The Edammasalways been regarded as
an unlucky boat. During a trip from this
port in the winter ofg1892 the Edam lost
her propeller at sea and had tobe towed
into port by the Cunard steamship Soythia,
which was bound from Boston to Liver-
pool. There were 550 passenger-a. 175 men
in the crew and a valuable cargo on board
the ship.

The Scythio towed the Edam 914 miles
and was awarded the sum of “.500 by
the high “court of justice in. the British
admiralty division.

Last nga fire broke out in the Bdam’s
hold while the ship was at Rotterdam,
but after? much effort it was extinguished
with only slight damage to the ship. The
cargo was’almost a total loss.

Start bay, near which the collision‘oc-
curred, is in the English channel, about
seven miles from Prawle point. Both are
on the Devonshire coast near the Cornwall
boundary. .

Plymouth is less than 15 miles away.

The channel at that point is used by
nearly every steamship leaving this side
for London as well as by all continental
steamships.

. The Hawaiian Cable Concession.

LONDON, Sept. 20.—The Gldbe this.aft-
ernoon, commenting upon the fact that an
American sugar planter has. been given
the exclusive right to land a submarine
telegraph cable on the island of Hawaii,
say “The importance of this announce-
me cannot be overestimated. .Whether

nessee, to Glass Mills. Ga.., a distance of
22 miles, jurisdiction over all of which,
together with necessary approaches, the
governments of these states have ceded to
the United States.

At present the government owns be-
tween 10 andll square miles—6,500 acres
——of which 3,500 are cleared of under-
brush. Congress has authorized the pur-
chase of . a total area of about 16 square
miles. It has. already expended for the
purposes of the park $750,000, including
the appropriation for the current year, and
also $20,000 for the expenses of the dedi-
cation. .

Seventy-two miles of railway. more or
less improved, have. been built and five
observation towers ' erected within the
park limits. Within view from them are
the's’oenes'of the battles of Chickamauga,
Orchard Knob, Lookout Mountain, Wau-
hatchie, Missionary Ridge and Brown’s
Ferry. A broad boulevard will connect
the extreme points of the park, much of it
having already‘been constructed along
the crest of Missionary ridge, Bragg’s
line of battle. '

:3 From almost’any point along its length
a magnificent" view of the valley and far-
off heights is obtained. In. its work of
- marking the line of battle and positions
;of the troops engaged the national oom-
' mission has been assisted by the commis-
sioners of 25 states, including all of the
southern states.
Hundreds of Tablets.

About 300 large historical tablets are
already in place, and other tablets giving
locality and distance number 300. Each
battery engaged is being marked by at
least two guns. One hundred and fifty
guns are mounted in fighting positions of
batteries, and 400 guns are on the ground
ready for mounting.

Ohio has 54 monuments; Illinois, 33;
Minnesota, 5; Indiana, 37; ‘Michigan, 11;
Massachusetts, 1; Kansas, 3; Missouri. 5;
Wisconsin, 9; United States regulars, 9.
