BATTLESHIP’S NARROW ESCAPE. IHinois Comes Near Colliding With the Alabama During Storm. Monterey, Cal—A northwest gale sweeping into the harbor gave the eight ships of the second division of the Atlantic fleet several hours of watchfulness Saturday night and cut off all communication with the shore. A serious accident was narrowly everted when the battleship Illinois, second in line from the Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral Sperry, parted her anchor chain in the height of the blow and went drifting toward the shore. The Illinois headed directly for the Alabama and it looked for a time as though a collision was imminent. By heroic work the helmsman managed to steer the drifting ship away and the only damage done was the tearing away of the port gangway of the Alabama. The Illinofs drifted fully 800 vards before her emergency anchors, sent spinning into the white capped waters, finally held fast. opened the door and fired Saturday night at Carnegie hall and κ selected four delegates at large and their alternates to the national convention of the Independence party to be held in Chicago some July. with few a shotgun.
