STEAMER DELHI
IS TOTAL WRECK
Abandoned By Underwriters After
Examination By Divers—Val
ued At $250,000.
WRANGELL, Feb. 5.—Representa
tives of the Salvage Company sent
iporth by the underwriters to exam
ine the wreck of the steamer Delhi,
which was piled up on a reef in Sum
ner strait, have returned to Wrangell
and state that the steamer will be a
complete loss.
The Delhi is a wooden hull and
struck the reef while traveling at
full speed when the tide was nearly
full. When the tide went out the
hull was crushed beyond temporary
repairs to enable her being taken ofl
for rebuilding. She was valued at
$250,000 and was insured for two
thirds her value. The loss on freight
is very light as she carried only fifty
tons, having been on her return trip
when wrecked.
POPE MAKES PLEA
FOR WARSUFFEREBS
ROME, Feb. 5.—Pope Benedict has
opened negotiations with the repre
sentatives of the nations at war to

modification of the agreement to in
clude certain classes of civilians who
have been detained in the various
countries, particularly women, chil
dren and aged men unfit for military
service.

Although the registration book for
