London, October 17.

The Atlantic transport company's steamer Mohegan, formerly the Cieopatra of the Wilson and Furness-Leyland line, which left London for New York last Thursday with fifty passengers and a crew of 150 is ashore off the Lizard, between the Manacles and the Lowlands. It is rumored there has been a great loss of life. A coast guard message says that the passengers are "drowning like rats." Another account says: "Bodies are washing ashore, one being that of a lady, lashed to a plank, with both legs severed." Particulars of the disaster are hard to obtain. It appears that when the Mohegan struck, a gale was blowing and the sea was running high. Lifeboats put off from the Lizar and from Falmouth, one returning filled with passengers.

Several were wounded, however, on the passage of the life boat ta the shore. Another life boat saved six persons. THEY WILL BE SHIPPED TO ST. where the alarm had sounded. LOUIS and smearing their faces with paint, whether the police were willing or not.

This will be considered a very high taritf, even for refrigerator car service, but as the jack rabbits will probably bring between 1.25 and $1.50 a dozen here, there will be a good margin in the venture for both the shippers and local dealers. Local game dealers say that quail was never known to be as plentiful in Missouri as they are at present, and there will be lots of sport for hunters after November 1. J.

W. Davis, of Clarksburg, who is a prominent hunter and shipper of game, says most of the young quail are now nearly half grown and that as soon as they are able to fly they will go south. This has started quite a controversy Mrs. John Sherman Stricken. Washington, October 17.

Mrs. Sherman, wife of former Secretary of State John Sherman, suffered a stroke of paralysis last week and tow lies at her home on street in a very critical condition. While unattended in the bath room ehe was stricken with paralysis and fell to the floor unconscious. Mr. Sherman, who was in an adjoining apartment, heard her fall and immediately summoned the servants.

Drs. Johnston and Hyatt reponded to the call for physicians and have remained with Mrs. Sherman during a greater part of the day and evening. The stroke has affected her entire right side, and even in brief periods of consciousness she is unable to speak. At one time during the night Mrs.

Sherman evidently recognized her husband, who has been constantly at her bedside since she was stricken.

The cattle herds are being removed from the muddy meadows, as prairie firea are sweeping them. The in-termountain country is ablaze in Eeveral plaoes, one' of the heaviest of fires is devastating the country between Slate and East rivers and the Pittsburg breakers, and the town of Gothic is again threatened.

This summer an expert, representing an English syndicate inspected McDonald's remaining claims, for which an offer of about $2,000,000 has been made. McDonald is en route to London, but appears unconcerned whether the deal is consumated. He is one of the most modest, unassuming men who has returned from Klondike.

Before coming out he gave $100,000 to a Catholic church hospital and other Dawson charities. McDonald's advice is that only healthy young men should go to the Yukon.
