If the naval authorities could get the slightest verification of the report that something has happened to the Shearwater, which they admit seems not improbable, as she should have reported at Comox some days ago, they would immediately dispatch a cruiser to her assistance. -The report of her mishap came to Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, through some sealing men returning from the north. It is known that the place where the Shearwater is supposed to have gone ashore is frequently visited by American revenue cutters, which could render valuable assistance.

Anything of the Fate of Englisn Sloop of War. Officers at Victoria Unable to Learn BRITISH XAVY WORRYING; ABOUT THE SHEARWATER ROME. Sept. 16. The majority of the people approve the action of King Victor Emmanuel In not choosing the title of Prince of Rome for the heir to the throne, born last night, as it would have mixed the royal family in a.

party struggle and would have embittered the conflict between church and state at a time when the Pope seemed to be leaning toward moderation. It is believed that the title chosen, that of Prince of Piedmont, will become fixed for all time for the Italian Crown Prince, as is the title of the Prince of Wales in England.

He returns home to-night well pleased with the conditions he found existing here and in particular he is gratified at the many evidences of harmony that exist on every I can say safely that he feels hopeful in the extreme." The Governorship and other State offices were discussed, but it was said that nothing definite as to the selection of candidates would be determined until next week at Saratoga. Another matter left open is whether Judge Parker will make a series of speeches during the campaign.

Other conferences, similar to those held yesterday and to-day, will probably be held next week before Judge Parker's letter of acceptance Is made public. ESOPUS, Sept. Alton B. Parker reached home at 9:15 o'clock to-night. During Judge.

Several important questions were settled by the visit of Alton B. Parker to New York and his conferences with Democratic leaders. It was determined that Senator Gorman should have an active place In the campaign, but that Chairman Taggart was not to be superseded. The conference of Tammany leaders with Judge Parker resulted in the settlement of differences In Greater New York so far as they relate to national and State issues. Mlllerand'B of office especially such raised a storm 'of discussion his party.

That Russia's armored auxiliary cruiser Korea will put Into Puget Sound is the opinion that prevails in steamship circles. -If in need of repairs the presence of the vessel will not be considered seriously by the shippers. But should. the Korea coal and leave within the twenty-fourhour limit it will be taken as a certainty that the Czar's fast war vessel has been dispatched on a mission to search for vessels now sailing the North Pacific Ocean with supplies for Japanese ports. Oriental shippers are much worried.

They wonder how many Russian cruisers are in this vicinity. Many, believe the- commander of the Korea has been ordered to a Pacific Coast port to dismantle until the close qf the war. Others believe the vessel is looking for liners in the Oriental trade. Steamship Men of North Believe Vessel Is Off Coast. KOREA IS EXPECTED.

D. Grady, filed a petition in bankruptcy in -the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and asked for the appointment of a receiver. The. case will come up in court to-day before Judge de Haven. The members of the firm of A- B.

Costigan Co. are A. B. Costigan and F. C.

Gibbons. The schedules filed yesterday in court with the petition to be declared bankrupt set forth that the creditors include relatives, to whom large amounts are said to be due. E. N. Costigan.

a relative of A. B. Costigan, is creditor to the amount of $46,654 "1, and to J. N. Costigan, another relative, the sum of J74S2 OS is owing.

E. C. Evans, agent for Dewar Webb of London, files one claim for $4S23 78 and also one for $S5S 92. The secured indebtedness amounts to $23,700. The largest amount secured to one creditor is $14,800, to the Farmers 1 Union Milling Company of Stockton.

D. B. Fairbanks of Petaluma is secured by deed and conveyance in the amount of 5S000. The First National Bank- of San Fraac-Jsco -holds warofcsouse receipts for grain in warehouse to the amount of $9300. The action of the firm in taking bankruptcy proceedings was precipitated by the First National Bank of Pan Francisco, which gave notice early this week that it must have its money within three days, the alternative being legal proceedings.

It had come to the knowledge of the bankers that the firm had been speculating in grain, on the wrong side of the maj-ket, figuring out that tho price cf wheat -would fall. The ptice rose, and the result of this turn in the market was disastrous to the firm. On the face of the schedules the extpfs of liabilities above assets Is S6. Outside of the business of the house the partners appear to have comparatively little property. The real property ofCostigan is estimated to be worth $17,000.

This includes two warehouses, one at Sanser and one at Clovis, also certain lands of small importance In the interior. Gibbons has no real property. Only one bank is a creditor, the First National Bank of this city. The members of the firm say that the grain for which warehouse receipts were issued to this bank is actually in warehouses. The money was loaned by the bank or these receipts during the present year.

Among the larger creditors are Fyfe, Manson Co. of Chico. in the amount of $4713; Cutter Mosely of San Francisco, In the sum of $3083; N. Casey. Ji950; C.

A. Owens of Fresno, $1000. and the American Hop and Barley Cora- $5235. The debts are mainly on grain contiacts for money loaned. Among smaller Creditors, in sums less thai: J1O00.

are the Faciflc Wood and Coal Company of San Diego, $7C0: T. S. Wil- I'fcms of San Francisco, $553; J. S. Ackerman of San Diego, $830, and H.

He only wanted to The Russian transport Lena, which has been the cause of much discussion and consternation since her arrival here last -Sunday, went up to Mare Island yesterday. There she will be dismantled.

Her departure from the bay is a great relief to Admiral Goodrich. Not that the Admiral feared she would do any harm to the shipping and the merchant marine in the harbor, but it was her presence here that he feared might result in a demonstration from those unfriendly to her and to her cause. As soon as she weighed anchor yesterday and turned her bow up the stream the Marblehead acted as her escort to the navv yard. On her arrival there she found Admiral Mc- Calla and his staff waiting to receive her. She then passed from the jurisdiction of the commandant of the fleet in this harbor to that of the commandant of the navy yard.

Her dismantling will be begun at once. Her guns will be removed by Her own crew and turned over to the charge of Admiral McCalla. These he will keep charge of until the Russo-Japanese war is over, or until such time as the President may indicate that they are to be returned. keep a sufficient number on board to look after the interests of the vessel and he hoped that the Admiral could see his way clear to communicate with the Government and arrange matters in this manner. Admiral Goodrich and his fleet will leave port this morning at 11 o'clock.
