WAS THERE NEGLECT?

The Danmark's Lack of Life Saving Ap-
 pliances Criticized.
 NEW YORK, April 24.-Thirty-tive of the passengers who were rescued from the sinking steamship Danmark arrived in the city at o'clock yesterday mornihg. They were unanimous in their praise of the brave conduct of Capt. Hamilton Murrell of the Missouri, and they took every opportu. nifty to let everybody know but that for him probably not soul of them would be here to tell of his magnificent heroism.
 The emigrants had little trouble in check ing their baggage, for all their possessions, except what they carried about their per- sons and in handbags, went down in the i'll .fated Danmark. Most of the passengers upon their arrival yesterday were for warded to thelr several destinations by the Thingvalla company, while few of them will remain here for day or two. Those in the city are quartered at the Hotel Dan mark and other Greenwich street boarding houses.
 Olaf Wugeland, one of the rescued, who is on his way to his homo in Worcester, Mass, criticises the Thingvalla company for what he terms an utter lack of facilities tor saving life in case of emergency. He says that there were only seven lifeboats on the DanInark, and that they could ac- commodate only 225 persons. The liferafts would hold only l6O more, and that these, all the life saving appliances on board, would have becn wholly inadequate to save such number of passengers, between 700 and SOO

NOT A SUCCESS.
Socialists Deny that the Republic Has Reached the Ideal of Its Founders.


 NEW YORK, April 24-rhe National So- clalistic committee have issued an address bearing upon the celebration Of the Wash ington Inaugural Centennial. They point to various respects in which the ideals en- tertained by the founders of the Republic have not been realized, and deprecate the prevailing tendency to suppress this side of the picture and to unduly emphasize the more obvious facts of increased population and wealth.
 The mere increase of wealth, they insist, cannot be considered proof of genuine pro- gross. The real test would be, as to whether wealth distributes itself equitably whether opportunities to acquire it are equally ac- cessible to all, and whether or not there is danger of the introduction of class distinc- tions founded upon differences in wealth. It is upon the substantial economic inde- pendence of the citizen, as well af upon his political independence, that the true hope of a people rests.
 Looking at the situation from this point of view the address declares that there Is much reason for serious apprehension. ~The 6 document is very moderate in tone, and as- serts that all reforms must rest upon the spread of correct ideas among the people. We are asserted to be wofully ignorant of the economic laws which govern societies, and an appeal is made for careful study of the arguments of leading Socialistio writers lu favor of a changed industrial system.

TO BE AN EXTRA SESSION.
Speakership Candidates Say Congress
 win Meet in October


 WASHINGTON, April 24.-Thomas B. Reed is the only aspirant for the Speakership of the Fifty third Congress now in Washing ton, wi.h the exception of Mir. Cannon, of Illinois. He was at the White House and the various departments yesterday seeking appointments for his constituents. MT. Reed says there will undoubtedly be an ex- tra session of Congress called about the middle of October.
 Major Mckinley, of Ohio. another very prominent Speakership candidate, said that an extra session would be called. The same opinions were expressed bylMessrs. Cannon and Burrows of Michigan, the other we'll known candidates, within the past two weeks.
 These gentlemen have all talked to the President on the subject of an extra session, and their opinions are based upon the knowledge they-gleaned from the Chief Ex- ecutive. Nine tenths of the Republicans in both houses of Congress are of the same opinion.
 Only one member and two Senators were seen at the Capitol between l2 and ? o'clock yetterday. Nearly all of the committee rooms were closed. Very few visitors were seen, and there was the most com plete desertion of the Capitol building that has been observed for the past fifteen months.

How to Cut a Bottle.

A simple method of accurately cutting Q bottle is to place it upon some level founda
 tion and fill it with linseed oil to the point at which you desire the liae of separation to occur. Then take an iron rod of as great . diameter as will pass into the bottle, mako 1t almost white-hot and dip it into the oil. After the lapse of a few moments sharp crack is heard, and the bottle is found to be as neatly cut as if with @ diamond.
