It I hoped that the loss of life will not bt so heavy as at first reported. The exact number will not be know until complete account are brought In from Bryccland and Sheltur Cove. It I known that of 1S8 passenger re ported by the company a sailing on the Columbia, nlnety-even were saved by tho George W. Elder, which towed the Ban Pedro Into Eureka. There were slaty in the crew or the Columbia and of these thirty-eight were on the EJder. Reports from Shelter Cove announced the arrival of one boat with fifteen more passenger and crew, leaving the total death roll at ninety-eight. Bo far only one boat has arrived at Bhelter Cove, although four were reported there. It was said that before the ateamer sank four of her host had been launched together with thre Jlfe raft.. These have yet to be heard from and it la expected that teamcr passing up and down the coast will auooeed In pickng them up wtth their living freight. Explosion or Boiler Helped. That o many escaped I accredited, trang to aay, to the fact that the e plolon of the boiler when the steamer wa sinking, counteracted tha tremendou auction and saved a lot of people who wre In the water from being drawn Into the vortex and down with th ' wreckage. The back wave from the alnklng ateamer threw many swimming for their live back from th point of danger and gava them a chance to eecap. Not a few of th pasaenger. on board the Columbia wer teacher and their friends who had been attending th National Educational aao clation m Loa Angeles. Many of the.e have been rescued and were among the arrival on board the Oeorge W. Elder.

MOTIVE OF ORCHARD (Continued from First Page.) man Bell, wh was in command of the militia during the strike period In Colorado. But nothing was don to Holl, nothing was done to General Burkt-ley Wells. Not even Orchard could testify to so much as an attempt en the life of the latter, who wa prominent both In the mllltla and the Mine Owners association. The attorney declared that Orchard had lugged Into the case all the various attempts he said ho had been hired to make, for the purpose of inflaming th mind of the Juror. Utranenherg Shlnlnw Mark. Mr. Richardson said that while every state Is expected to take care of th crime committed within It border, Colo rado had sent an "ocean of her dirty linen here for you gentlemen to wash." X"omlng again In the course of his argument to the death of Governor Steunenberg, Hay wood's counsel said that the defense wa ready and willing to admit that Orchard committed the deed exactly as he described It. Richardson declared that Governor Steun enberg's Immense stature and the free dom with which he went nbout the country made him a shining mark for assassina tion. "He could have been Bhot by any body able to hit the side of a barn door," asserted Richardson, "and Orchard him self tells you that Steunenberg each week took long drives to the sheep camps across th plains, where he could be seen a a mark for a rifle ball for miles. There wa not a week of hi life that ha could not have been safely killed, had there been a desire for him taking off In any thing but a spectacular manner. I . say to you that Orchard had a mania for crime and for committing crime In a way that would be aure to attract attention." Mr. , Richardson said that when Orchard came to Idaho to kill Governor Steunen berg ha seemed to so order his movement that th finger of suspicion would con stantly point to htm. After stalking the j governor for several days he apparently abandoned hi mission, . which he say he set out to do. J Orchard Ha No Feeltngr. "Did he have cold feet? .No, there ts no claim her that Orchard has feeling of any sort. He sat her and told his story re morselessly, without a word of compassion for any of hi victims. I tell you there was working In that maniacal mind the proposition of glutting his desire with th killing of Steunenberg. Ho wavered and went away to Portland, only to return later and accomplish his purpose, when the fires were fanned Into a brighter flam." Richardson here took up tha connection of Jack Blmpklns with Harry Orchard. Orchard tells you that neither Haywood, Moyer nor Pettlbon suggested that Simp klna should help In the crime. Jack Blmp klns waa a man who had been confined in the bull pen, In tha Coeur d'Alenea. Hawley ha told you that he haa fled from Justice. I am not here defending Jack Slmpkln. but I do not believe that on iota of guilt has bean established against Jack Blmpklns ex cept that when he waa making an official trip to th mines of southern Idaho In re sponse to a letter from Haywood and a requeat from th local union, hs waa In veigled off the train at Caldwell for a day or two by Harry Orchard to fasten suspi cion upon htm. Slmpkln Act. Naturally "Now, I will say to you, gentlemen, that If I had been here In 1908; If I had been in carcerated In the Idaho bull pen In 1SS9: If I had suffered the Indignities practiced upon the prisoner In that bull pen; If on Decem ber to, 1906, Governor Steunenberg had been assassinated and I had connected with that fact th time I spent In th bull pen; If I had added the fact that I waa a mem ber of tha executive board of the Western Federation of Miner and added further the fact that I had been in Caldwell with the man arrested for tha crime, I would have done, and I believe you would have don, precisely that which was don by Jack Blmpklns would have fled to cover to preserve your liberty." MotlT (or Deed. Orchard, said Mr. Richardson, wa a man who had a motive against Governor Steunenberg. It mattered not whether he had deeded away his property beyond re demption prior to hi leaving the Coeur d'Alenea or not. The thought was always going through hi brain that ha would have been a rich man if It had not been for Steunenberg. "this thought wa ex. greaaad to many wltnease. and Richardson denied that these- witnesses wer lying or that th clrcumatancea point to anything but th absolute truth of their testimony. Richardson reviewed Orchard's movement Just prior to the killing of Steunenberg and aald hi straightened financial condition ! when he waa reduced to necessity of rob j bing a caah register, of burglarising a rail, road station and borrowing money from a j friend, gav th 11 to the theory that th I federation, was paying for th crime and I that ha could get money whenever he de sired. Turning to Jack Slmpkln. whoa suffer ing of indignities In th bull pen might be urged a a motive for hi alleged partici pation In th Steunenberg murder, Mr. Richardson, declared that a man'e antmo'el tlc did not incraa with th passing of years, but generally died out. Slmpkln had plenty of opportunity before th ar rival of Orchard to klU Steunenberg bad he ao desired. A court took a reeaa at 11:20 o'clock until p. m., Mr. Richardson announced, "so th Jury would not fall dead." that ha would poalllvely oonclud tonight. Fnttlaa- la Nw Slarnals. WASHINGTON.

While the divisible surplus of the Southern Pacific amounted to 12 per cent on Jts common stock, Its real surplus earnings, Including the amount which la usually credited to profit and loss from land sales, amounted to UV per cent on the common stock.
