OLD MAN THEIRS.

At village in the Gironde, France, a
banquet was given to cX-President
Theirs, on the 18th Of this month. In an
address to the people who surrounded
him he said that the republic must be
maintained. The radicals, he believed,
If they gained power, would pursue DIFF.
ferent course from what their opponents
supposed. lie said that all fInctionariea
who did not respect the republic should
be dismissed from service. This, he
thought, was necessary in order to render
the elections really representative. Dur.
ing his speech he asserted that because
France was republic she would not be
isolated, but could count on the sympa-
thy of Europe. He advocated liberal
and modern system of education, and
said that the European policy Of the
future will be peace and non-interven-

o'clock this morning in search of the missing
passengers and crew of the City OF Waco Capt;
Sawyer, agent of the Mallory line,: also started
out on board pilot boat in search OF missing
boats. The only hopes now entertained Tor the
safety of the passengers and crew are that the
fire was below the between decks, IN which
case it may have been burning some time and
given the passengers ami crew ample time to
have left the ship before the flames reached
the upper deck and were discovered by other
vessels 1t is thought the passengers and crew
| NAV have escaped in the d trkness on board the

An Eyewitness Account of the Fire

| GERS of the Abdiel Immediately ordered steam
| up and their small boats in readiness for assist
| ance. AS soon as steam could be made the
| Abdiel moved alongside the burning ship as
| near as her officers dared to CO. They state
| that not persons was to be seen on her, and
| they do not think it possible for one of her
| small boats to have been launched. The Waco
| was rolling fearfuliy in the storm, sparks and
cnders were flying over and past the Abdiel.
The officers of the Abdiel placed lights in their
| small boats and had them in readiness to
| launch. Her crew were on the watch FOR any
| of the Waco's people, but none were seen or
heard. The mate states thai the fire on the
| Waco seemed to spread over the entire vessel
| in few minutes. He thinks she was first
struck by lightning, which ignited the oil on
board and burned everything on the upper deck
| before the passengers and crew could have left
their berths and reached the small boats.
| $50 P. M.-The steam tug Buck Thorn has
| just returned from outside. Capt. Irvine saw
one of the Wacos boats, which had been con-
siderably burnt and 1oated off, and some steps
and pieces of her cabin. There was no trace
of any of the passengers or crew. 1t is report

passed the Australian lying at the mouth of
The San Bernard river, yesterday, she was sig

Waco disaster did not stop. Hopes are enter
tanned that some of the Waco's people may be
saved on board The Australian. If the pilot
