Caught In the Rapids With a
Disabled Engine.

The Anchor Is Cast But No Hold Is Sc
cured Until the Cataract Is Almost
Reached-A Terrible Scene Among the
15G Passengers ON Board the VesseI
and Pleasure Barge In Tow.
AUBURN, N. Y, July ga gentle
man who arrived in the city on the
11:35 Central train Monday night gave
United Press reporter an account of
what might have been terrible
casualty at Niagara Falls Monday. The
pleasure steamer Ella H, which runs
from Port bay to Buckhorn island, was
obliged TO run around Green island on
account of the low water in the river
The island is only a short distance
above the cataract. Just as the steamer
was rounding the island in the swiftest
part of the river at that point the en-
gine gave out. The anchor was hove
overheard, but it failed to catch for
some distance, dragging along the rock
bottom.
When it did finally get hold the
boat was under such headway that the
buIkhead, to which the hawser was at
tached, was torn from its fastenings
When nearly the whole of the chain had
been paid out, the end became knCtted
in the hole in the bulwarks and held
the boat. The trouble with the engine
proved to be a defective valve, which
was soon repaired, and the boat was
again got under headway, but so great
was the force of the current that it took
fifteen minutes to reach the spot where
the anchor caught, 100 feet up stream
from the boat.
Scenes on Board.
There were about 150 passengers on
the steamer and pleasure barge at
tached to it. There was a terrible
scene of confusion, women tainted,
children screamed and men bid each
other good-by. The boat was only
short distance above the falls when
stopped and it was miracle which
saved the lives of the $50 persons ON the
boats.

New YORK, July 49, The Herald
publishes dispatch from Governor Cor
don, of Georgia, in which the governor
states that he is in entire accord with
the spirit, tone and practical suggestions
of The Atlanta Constitution as to the
use of the boycott as a means of self
preservation and commercial independ-
ence if the useless and infamous force
bill becomes a law. He says that spirit
will possess and control approximately
every white man, woman and child in
the southern states.
The governor says that ever since the
bill passed the house he has hoped that
some of the Republican senators would
be found patriotic enough, broad and
brave enough to prefer the well being
of the country to party ascendancy. But
il this hope is not realized and the force
bill becomes law he will use whatever
influence he may possess to arouse the
southern people to the necessity of look

sPITzBERGEN.
Swedish Scientific Expedition to Go There
This Summer.


This Summer.
A Swedish scientific EXPEDITION has
been sent to Spitzbergen in the hope
that the ice condition will permit con-
tinuance of remarkable work the
Germans did in those waters last year.
Though Spitzbergen has been visited
annually for over three centuries by
whalers and sealerS, it is only within
the past five years that the world has
had any adequate notion Of its eastern
outline and of islands that form the
eastern part of the archipelago The
reason is that the ice packed against the
eastern shores has retarded exploration
in that direction. The intention of this
years expedition is, if possible, to COM
plete the mapping of the east coast of
Northeast Land and also to settle the
question of King Charles Land, which
last years party reported was divided in
to two and probably more islands. In
vestigations will also be made in various
branches of science. The cost of ex-
petition has been betrayed by Baron
Dickson and the publisher Boyer.
Appreciation of Silver Puzzles EN-.
The sudden rise in the price of silver
has caused all the financial writers ON
the London press to sharpen their pens
and put their deepest thinking caps on.
in the hope of enlightening the world as
to the cause and effect of this alteration
in the ratio between the two precious
metals. The expert of The Morning
Post, who enjoys the distinction of be-
ing perhaps the heaviest writer on the
subject, pronounces the obiter dictum
that the fuctuation is but passing
cloud, that the effect of the American
silver bill will be wholly transitory, and
that there will be very little Of the
effect even while it lasts.

CHAUNCY M. DEPEw testifies to the fact
that the "negro is not badly treated in
the South go far as his physical relation
to the community in which he lives is
concerned He is furnished with work
and encouragement to save money. In
deed, says Mr.. Depew, IF the negro
leaves politics alone he is treated proba-
lily better than he is here, because he has
opportunities which he has not here. "
And the eloquent Republican leader con-
fesses that ''one of the saddest things
lat happens to me are the visits OF edu-
tied negroes to my office, who come to
me complaining that there is nothing for
them to do in New York" The negroes
are better off in the South than in any
other portion of the country, and sensi-
BILE negroes are well aware of this fact
