JTS NEW POSTAL PLAN
San Frauclsco, Aug. 27—The new
[icstai plan, whereby the bulk of
San Frauciseo's mail will be han
ult'j at the Ferry building and thus
save several hours and considerable
expense, has been approed by Wash
ington officials, and the arrange
ment it was decided will be put
into effect next December. The
plan has been approved by Postal In
spector 6ushnell, who was sent here |
f:om 'Washington to make a thor- i
jugh investigation of the scheme.
\'early ninety per cent of San Fran
cisco's mail passes through the
Ferry building, and by handling it
there the delay and expense of
hauling it to the main postoffic« at
Mission and Seventh streets will be
saved. The n«w plan means that
the entire working force at the post
office will be re-organized. The
saving will not only affect all out
bound mail, but will mean a quick
er distribution of local mail, espec
ially to and from business and fin
uncial districts.

P. Ii. GANTY, GROCER
Seattle, August 27—A correct
list of the names of the people who
were lost when the Pacific Alaska
steamship Admiral Sampson was
rammed and sunk yesterday off
Point No Point, near Port Townsend
Wash., by the Canadian Pacific pas
senger boat Princess Victoria, while
the former was enroate north on
lieu- regular Soatheaslern and South
western Alaska run, is as follows,
all of those missing being . either
members of the craw or passengers
011 board the Admiral Sampson:
Captain Z. SI. Moore
Chief Engineer Xoon
L. Cabanes, third cook '
J. G. Williams, mess boy
Migs M. Campbell, stewardess
C. Marquette, quartermaster
S. Sater, night watchman
\V. E. Rekar, first v.ireirss oper
ator.
• G. \V. Bryant, pas^er.^er beund
for Haines, Alaska.
Mrs. George lianbury, wife of the
local agent of the company, who
was on her way to skajjway lo re
join her husband.
Kdward Byrne, a stowaway, who |
was badly burned in the fire which
broke out in the bow cf the Via
toiiia from sorao unknown cause
shortly after the eolliscn, and which
the crew had hard work to extin
guish. Byrne died in the Providence
hospital here at noon yesterday.
From the most reliable informa-1
tic-n tluu has so fa'r been obtained
it appears thai the deadly blow
which caused the Admiral Sanip
50u to sink was struck near the j
ifter hatch of that vessel, the
!harp bow of the Princess Victoria!
Sitting the doomed ship squarely
uid with sufficient forte to aiinost
l>reak her in half.
The crew of the Admiral Sampson
's soon as possible after the col- j
lision occurred lowered the life
I boats but the vessel was sinking bo
! rapidly that Captain Moore called
to the passengers to Jump oT«rbo&rd,
which many of them did and three
were afterward picked Uy bjr the
Princess Victoria's boats. Quite a
few of those who jumped orerlx*rd
were only dressed la their night
clothes.
There was no confusion nor «*
!citement on board the Admiral
Sampson 4uring the trying time,
and the last seen of <Xptaia Moora
1 Was while he was helping some
children into the last Ufa boat
which left before she sunk.
Tke United States revenue cut
to* Unalga went to the scene of the
disaster today and the officem re
port that the Admiral Sampson 1«
a t#tai Joss, having gone down is
deep water. Efforts are being made,
however, to recover the bodies ol
The missing,.
The Princess Victoria was libeled
hero today for $670,000 for the
loss of the Admiral Sampson, $500,
000 for loss of baggage and other
effects and for the master marin
er's and five members of the ma
rine board's expenses while investi
gating into and placing the
responsibility of the week, |16,000.
The libel recites that the colli
sion occurred wl^Jle the Prlnceea Vic
toria was running at a high Tate of
speed through a dense fog aad that
Chief Engineer Noon lost his life la
trying to save that of Mra. Oeorgo
Banbury, before the Admiral Samp
son went down.
The investigation is expected to
start tomorrow.
Dr. L. S. Keller will leave cn *
professional visit to Whitehorse on
Saturday morning.
