THE ACCIDENT TO THE "PLEAIDES."
HOW SHE WAS PICKED UP AND TOWED TO PORT.
Victoria papers to hand contain particulars of the accident to the Boston Towboat Com pany's steamer Pleiades, on her last voyage from Kobe to Tacoma. She was picked up at sea, without propeller and drifting about at the mercy of wind and tide, by the Portland and Asiatic steamer Nicomedia and towed into quarantine at Victoria, B.C., on June 6. She was found about 744 miles off the Cape, or to be exact, in go.30 N, and 143.38 W. Capt Wagner, of the Nicomedia, was bound from Portland, Or., to the Orient with general cargo, when on Wednesday afternoon June 1, about a quarter to six o'clock, his attention was at tracted by the signals of distress shown by the Pleiades. Going to her aid a brief communi- cation took place between the two command-
ers. As a result the German steamer passed a line to the big liner and took her to William

Judgment was delivered on 5th inst., in the reference which was submitted to the Chief Justice of Singapore, Sir Lionel Cox, and two assessors, Rev. N. J. Couvreur for the Govern- ment, and Mr. George R. Derrick for the parties to the claims.
The first claim considered was that by Jardine, Matheson & Co. against the Government The Government had acquired land, for railway pure pores, to the extent of 27,225 square feet, and offered in payment $16,154-37. The claimants refused the offer and submitted a claim which amounted altogether to $103.914.75, being made up of claims for the value of the land, the decreased value of the land in the vicinity and compensation.
In the second case, the P. and O. Company entered a claim in respect of 71,602 square feet of land which had been acquired by the Go vernment. The Government offered $24,702 69 in full payment; the Company claimed 3185,269.50 as the value of the land, tion, etc.
