WRECK OF THE ONEIDA.

Capt. Anderson Tells How the
Chinese Lost Their Lives.
San Francisco Examiner.
Capt. Anderson and the crew of the
wrecked ship Oneida were busily en-
gagged about town yesterday III getting
together some sort of kits, all their be-
longings having been lost. In speaking
of the seventy-Seven Chinese who were
drowned, the captain said: sit was
their own fright and foolishness that
led to their death. They could just as
easily be alive now as the thirty-three
we got to Sank Island.
''But the instant the Oneida struck
on the sunken rock they all seemed to
go crazy. In three quarters of an boar
the vessel filled, and we did not have
time to bring them to their senses in
the gale. They were panics tricken and
wholly unmanageable. Men who
couldn't swim stroke, when they saw
we were going to pieces, ran screaming
jabbering about the deck and jumped
into the flashing waves. They were so
craZeG that they never seemed TO think
of taking one of the boats OF Selling a
spar. Of course they drowed right be-
fore their shouting countrymen, and the
hubbub became something terrible.
1--WE were fifteen miles from the
island, and it took considerable head
work for even sane man to reach it in
our situation. l had the men pull
around about the spot all the rest of the
night where the Oneida was breaking
up. so as to help all those who might be
clinging to wreckage. | remember one
incident that will show how paralyzed
the Chinese were. About dawn we
came upon three dories that belonged to
the cargo. They were packed one in
side the other for closer storage, and in
the inner one were four Chinese with
out oars, helplessly huddled in the bot
tom. their heads buried out of sight.
Had they unpacked the boats there
would have been two more that could
have been used to good advantage in
saving their countrymen.

Ancient Discoveries.

London Times.
In the course of some excavations for
new road OH the Sea View estate at
BrOadstairs. discovery of human skel-
etons and several vases or urns has been
made. The vases, three of which were
preserved intact, vary from four inches
to six inches in height; they also vary
in shape, and the fact that they are ex-
actly similar to the Roman cinerary
urnS which have been found in large
numbers In different parts of the coast
in this neighborhood points to their
having been placed where they were
discovered by the hands of the Roman
invaders of the island. The position
where they were found is at the extreme
end of the island, very near to the North
FOreland lighthouse. The graves.
which were opened out in the course of
the cutting of the road, were close to-
gether and not more two feet below the
surface. Some of the skeletons found
were lying across one another, from
which it is supposed that the dead may
have been rudely inferred after battle
fought in the neighborhood. Several
pieces of metal. very deeply oxidized,
were also found, one of them having the
appearance of a clasp.

IN THE SOUTH STATE.
Sections Where the Democrats
Will Gain.

Special to the Globe.
YANKTON, S. D., July 4.-There has
been for several months considerable
speculation among party leaders as to
the political status of this part of South
Dakota. Yankton, Hutchinson and Bon
Homme counties have always been con-
sidered strong Republican localities, and
If the Democrats were fortunate enough
to secure any offices it was OH account
of some division in the ranks of the Re-
publicans. There is no doubt that
there has been great political change
in these localities during the last two
years. The election last November
showed that the Republican majoritieS
had been very greatly reduced from
those of two years ago. At the Yank-
ton city election last April the Demo
Gratis elected everything except two
aldermen, and one of those by only two
majority. in a ward which had hitherto
been strongly Republican, while
the Democratic mayor had
good majority in the same ward.
Many of our Shrewdest politicians to-
day believe that with wise nominations
these three counties will give good
Democratic maJorities in November.
One strong ground of hope is OIL &C
count of the Independent movement,
which will draw many more votes from
the Republican party than it possibly
can from the Democrats. The fact that
the Republican party leaders here are
not in sympathy with the prohibition
doctrine will have tendency to drive
the prohibition Republicans over to the
Independent party. Another reason
for the change in public sentiment is
the fact that there is large foreign ele-
ment in these countieS-RuSSian, Ger
man and Scandinavian-which has al
ways been strongly Republican. but
which has been rapidly changing lately
in favor of the Democrats. Many of
these joined the Republican party when
they came here, because it was the
party i'll power, and they were
made to believe that was the
proper thing for them to do.
The policy of the two parties last year
on the subject of prohibition has shown
there people that the Democratic party
is much more in sympathy with the for
eign element than the Republican party
has ever been. This fact. having been
realized by some leading foreigners, has
been explained to others, and will &C
count in some measure for the change
which has beeh and is going Oh, and
which will increase rather than dimin-
ish as the campaign progresses. The
woman's suffrage question comes in for
a share of attention in the present con-
test. The foreign element is almost
unanimously opposed to this doctrine,
believing it is largely Republican
movement, and that in some way it will
be against their interests. For these
and other reasons it is believed that if
the. Democrats are discreet in their NOM
nations they will secure victory in

A Remarkable Fish.

Leisure Hour.
Africa is the home of many extra
ordinary animals, but there is no more
remarkable creature than the mudfsh,
which inhabitS certain of the rivers of
Western Africa, and. as its name i'm
plies, it turks at the muddy bOtt0Hfo f
these rivers. At present, however, it is
not necessary to go to Africa to see this
fish. as it can be seen by any one who
has the time in the reptile house at the
Geological gardens. At first sight
there is perhaps nothing especially
striking about this animal; it looks
very much like an ordinary fish. except
for its curious. long slender fins. A
visitor who knew nothing about the
creature would probably go away with
the impression that he had seen moth
ing out of the common. When the fishes
ball of dried mud. lined with mu-
small aperature to admit of breathing.
This cocoon" as it Is sometimes
called, on account of its analogy to the
earthen case fabricated by many cater
pillars in which to undergo their
metamorphOses, on being placed in
warmish water was dissolved and the
fish liberated. The habit which the
mudfish has of making an earthep
chamber Of the mud at the bottom of
the river is most wonderful provision
of nature for the exigencies of the
climate. The rivers which the fish in
habits are liable to periodical droughts.
When such n drought is imminent the
fish retires to deep water and excavates
a pit, in which it lies, covering itself
over with thick layer of mud. 1t can
suffer with impunity the complete
drying-up of the river. But the most
interesting fact about the creature is
that during the time of its voluntary
Imprisonment it breathes air directly
through an aperture left in the cocoon,
by means of lungs. just like a land
animal. When the returning rains dis
solve the mud and liberate the fish it
breathes by means of gills. just like any
other fish.

SLIPPED SEVERAL COGs.
Quay Finds it Difficult to Handle
the Republican Machine.

CHC IeCpuUllCah r1aChAAC'
NEWCASTLE, Pa. July 4.-The hottest
political fight ever known in the Twenty
fifth congressional district closed in this
city yesterday. and has made apparent
the fact that the man who assumes to
hold the lever of the big Republican
machine has found something loose in
the running gear under his very eyes.
This is Matthew S. Quay's district, be-
ing composed of Lawrence, Beaver and
Butler and Mercer counties. Nomina
tons are made by majority vote of
sixty delegates, fifteen from each
county. The present representative is
Charles c. Townsend, protege of Quay,
who was elected two years ago. Not
withstanding the two-tern rule that
has heretofore been always recognized,
Townsend's denomination was desper
ately and successfully combatted. The
convention met June II, and after tax
ing 100 ballots adjourned, that matters
might be adjusted by some master
hand-presumably Quay's. Reconven-
ing this week, the voting was continued
to the 195th ballot, when Mayor Nc
Dowell, of Mercer, was chosen. The
result has caused general surprise
throughout the state. o. l.. Jackson,
Townsend's predecessor in the house,
led the anti-Townsend movement on
anti-Quay principles.

LOCATED A NEW PASS.
Success Crowns Lieut.. Seton
Harris Hazardous Expedition.


Karr's Hazardous Expedition.
VICTORIA, B. c., July 4-The expe-
dition which Lieut.. Seton-Karr took
north with him to Chilcat in order to
discover pass across the mountain
ranges from Chilcat to the Alsehk river
has returned to the coast, having sue
cessfuI lily carried out Its plans, and with
less delay and shorter space of time
than had been anticipated. After an
absence of little over two months,
Lieut.. SetOn-Karr is now in Vancouver,
having come down on the Queen of the
Pacific from Sitka. Lieut.. Seton-Karr
says that the geographical results of the
journey exceeded his expectations. The
Chilcat Indians did not interfere with
his party, being assured that trade
was not one of the objects con-
templated. From Klokwan. the
last Indian camp, thirty miles up
the Chilcat river, Lieut.. Set0n-Karr as
cended in the first instance on foot. and
subsequently with canoes. as far as the
Klheena, or WELLESLEY river. Thence
partly by canoe and partly with sledges,
he went as far as the national boundary,
which YVES marked approximately. The
ascent was continued to the marble
glacier, Wnere the party was detained
by the weather. Four miles beyond the
new pass, creek was found running
into the AltSekh. The latter is reported
as large river running in from the
West, from behind st. Elias, with
slow deep current. Another branch
comes in from the north. Below the
forks is canyon which canoes cannot
pass, and below the canyon the river is
excessively rapid. AS far as the mouth
of the river, at dry bay. bear, goats. and
grouse are numerous The return trip
was hazardous. A miner was brought
down with the expedition. whose two
partners were capsized in the rapids on
raft, one being drowned. Much dan
ger was incurred in passing the rapids,
but it was effected without any mishaps.

NO SIGN OF YELLOW JACK.
Hundreds of Toilers From Hon.
duras Ill With Malaria.

NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-The steam
ship Professor Morse. after ten days
detention at Mississippi quarantine sta
ton, arrived at her wharf this
morning, having on board $50
half-starved and sick laborerS, mostly
Italians, who had been working on the
Oteri plantation, in Honduras, since
AprillaSt with but little food and mad
eQuate shelter. When the vessel
landed this morning she was boarded
by DR.. Oliphant, president of the state
board of health, accompanied by Drs.
Bickham and Gzarnowskl, two MEM
berS of the board of experts, who
ined the passengers and crew, after
which they made the following report
to the board of health: cat the request
of DR.. Oliphant, we have this morning,
with him. inspected the steamship Pro-
lessor Morse, at the wharf in
this city. From statement of
DR.. Otto, we find he came aboard of
the vessel on June 10, and found 262
passengers aboard exclusive of &C.
crew. He foun d 1853 passengers sick,
suffering with malarial and btu feverS.
dropsy and dysentery. The crew were
all well. At the time when DR.. Otto
look charge OF these people, death
had occurred at Utilta on board
of the steamship Oteri from whence
the passengers were transferred to
Professor Morse. No deaths occurred
during the four days passage to the
quarantine station. At the Lazaretto of
the quarantine station. four deaths &C.
CURED as we understand, two of dysen-
terry and two of malarial fever. At the
time of the landing this morning,
death occurred of man, undoubt-
eddy also case of malarial fever, much
complicated by severe injury received
a month ago. We have also examined
three cases of malarial fever of severe
type on board at this writing, and sick
ever since the vessel was boarded. The
appearance of almost all the passengers
is indicative of severe maIarial
poisoning, due to their being
unacclimated in the locality where they
had been employed. From what we
learn of the history of these cases and
our own observation on board, we have
no hesitation whatever in declaring that
those cases are all malarial fever of
severe type, and not case of contagi-
GUS disease is now or was at any time
during the trip developed aboard, either
among passengers or crew.
