TENDAYS' Fight SEA
PANIC ON THB RUDDERLsSS STEAMSHIP
DUBBLEDAM.
Ehs Haiches Torn Away By the Waves and the
Hundreds Of Passengers Confined Below
Drsuchsd By the FloOd-hreS Cat
and No Food for Days

LONDON, September s.-The passen-
gers of Dutch steamer Dubbledam,
which was disabled by an accident to
her rudder while on the voyage from
Amsterdam to New York, and put back
to Plymouth for repairs, declare that
they owe their lives TO Captain Potjers.
Almost from the outset OF the voyage
furious storms were encountered, and
for four days they were kept below
decks. On the morning Of the fifth
day, when l, 100 miles from Amsterdam,
the vessel became manageable.
Suddenly there was a violent shock,
and the ship stopped so quickly that 1t
was believed by the terrified passengers
that she had struck a sunken reef. A
panic ensued. The engines were stop
ped and the passengers were Kept be-
low.
Some floating wreckage had struck
the rudder, breaking the steering gear.
New gear was finally rugged, but though
sails were hoiSted and various devices
tried 10 keep the vessel up TO the wind,
she fell into the trough OF the sea, huge
waves washing over decks.
Skylights, portfolios and scuttles
were smashed, and the main and aft sa-
looms flooded. The steerage was mum
dated, the 400 steerage passengers suf-
feriDg terribly from the soaking OF the
berths and putting out Of fires, as well
as from living wholly on cold food. The
saloon passengers huddled aft. As fast
as new rudder and tackles were rigged,
they were carried away by the violent
seas. When Plymouth was sighted, the
last bit of tackle was in use, and II
would have been impossible 70 have
kept the ship under control much lon
ger. Several passengers, who are OLD
travellers, say that it was the most ter
rible ten days experience OF their lives.
Divers report that the damage TO the
vessel does not extend beyond the
water line, and 10 will not be necessary
To put her into drydOck. As every out
going steomer is full, and every state
room on the regular lines Is engaged six
weeks ahead, it is impossible to trans
fer the Dubbledam'S passengers, and
they will be delayed until the vessel Is
repaired. The saloon passengers Will
be placed in frst-class hotels at the
steamship cOmpany'S expense, but the
steerage passengers will be kept aboard.
II will take at least a week 10 make the
necessary repairs. The passengers
have presented Captain POtjerS with an
address Of thanks.

His Life Dearly to kzeta's Men.
SCRANTON, PA, September Col.
P. P. Brannon, who was among the Sal
vadorian refugees demanded from Cap
tain White at the port Of La Libertad, a
few days ago, at the instance OF Presi-
dent Ezeta, was formerly a resident
of Scranton and often visited his
brother, who is leading merchant In
this city. He has been for twenty-five
years prominent In the wars and indus
tries of Central America, and particu-
larly In the affairs Of Salvador and
Guatemala. On the occasion Of visit
to Scranton few months ago he organ
lied manufacturing company with q
considerable capital to do business under
an American charter in Salvador, and
the machinery, which was made here,
was all ready for shipment when news
came that Brannon had incurred the
displeaSure of President EZeta and was
compelled TO quit Salvador.
On leaving Salvador Colonel Brannon
fastened to Guatemala and was cordial
ly received by the President of that Re-
public, Of whom he spoke in the highest
terms in a letter which he wrote short
time ago. He had been commissioned
by the President of Guatemala TO bring
the scattered Salvadorian exiles to
Guatemala, as may be seen by the Follow
ing extract from a letter received by his
brother here to-day:
ssThe President of Guatemala has
lust sent for me to go to that Republic
and take with me from here a NUMBER
of Salvadorian exiles. We sail on the
steamship San Jose, and as the snip
stops at all Salvadorlan ports and as my
activity with the opposition is beginning
to wear on the nervous economy OF the
Car of that Republic, Carlos
Ezeta, he may tag to take me of a la
Barrundia, 1 am fully aware that once
in his power my life would not be worth
4 farthing, and propose to meet his
boarding party with better markham
ship than that displayed by Barrundia.
I will not be taken off the ship alive, and
if | am taken off dead it will be after a
number Of Salvadorian soldiers are mus
tered into the great majority"
Colonel Brannon concludes his letter
WlU0 do w OAAO NASpOSA"iOA
to be made Of his property in case ne
should be killed. He has taken an
active part in some of the fiercest en-
gagements of recent years in Salvador
and Guatemala. He was Tin at the
death" OF Barrios, and within
few years pack frequently won
the personal thanks Of President
Ezeta for his bravery. But the tickle
fortunes of that country now find him
in disfavor with the President OF Saliva
dor and an exile to Gautemala, with
other Salvadorian patriots who are OPP
posed to Ezeta's tyrannical methods.
1t is entirely safe to look for stirring
news from Salvador before the close OF
the present year, as powerful effort, ne
believes, is now on foot to overthrow
EZeta's government.

The Czarina and Czarowitz to visi
France.

The Czarina and Czarowitz to Visit
PARIS, September Recent cores
pondenee between the Car and Baron
De Mohrenheim, the Russian Ambassa-
dor at Paris, makes 1t appear quite Ger
tain that Immediately after the Copen-
hagen visit is concluded, the Czarina
and Czarowitz, escorted by an imposing
Russian squadron, will proceed In the
Imperial yacht to Cherbourg.
St. Petersburg advices speak OF the
French visit as thing absolutely set-
tied, and the news is received In tnls
city with an enthusiasm which indicates
the intention of the French to eclipse
even the extraordinary Cronstaot de-
monstration.
Lhe details of the imperial itinerary
have not yet been divulged, but IL IS
settled that the President OF the Repuo-
lie, attended by members OF the MINIS
try and the high officers of the army,
will receive the illustrious visitors at
Cherbourg and act as their escort 10
Paris. 1t is asserted here that the IN
perial progress from Cherbourg to the
capital, and their reception at the lat-
ter place, will present scene OF impos-
ing grandeur such as has not been VIII
messed In France since the days OF the
first Napoleon.
The vigorous action Of Russia in the
Dardanelles affair has famed into
consuming flame the spirits OF the war
party, and there is now tremendous
revival of the Russomania which mao
begun to subside somewhat wnen tnat
Incident came to again lash it into fury.
So intense is the feeling that 1t is de-
clared at the railway Offices here that.
should the contemplated programme OF

problem to move the vast crowds who
will hasten from all parts Of France TO

Memorial Day.

Saturday was day of sunshine and
showers. The rain fell till nearly
noon when the clouds broke away
and the sun shone brightly, making
glad the hearts of those who wished
to commemorate the day made
sacred to the memories of the dead.
The Odd Fellows had made extern
sive arrangements for the ceremonies
and at o'clock the people began to
assemble at I. o. o. F. Hall where
the exercises were to take place, and
before the time for commencing it
was comfortably filled, not seat be-
ing vacant, while a number were
compelled to stand during the exer-
cises. Promptly at the appointed
time the audience was called to order
by A. w. Hesson, President of the
Day, and the exercises opened with
"America," by the choir and the
audience. Past Grand Patriarch Hesson
in few we'll chosen remarks, stated
the object of the meeting. The choir
then sang that grand old hymn,
"Nearer My God TO Thee" followed
by the Rev. G. j. A. Porter who iu-
voked the blessings of The Almighty
on the assemblage. A quartette then
sang "Come We Again." which was
finely rendered. Next came the
Grafton by Edgar Reinhar5, P. G. CT

all who hearc. him, extend to him our
hearty congratulations. The Grafton
being over, Mrs. Stone and Miss
Nellie Ainley sang "Bring Sweet
Flowers which was highly appre-
GATED by the audience. The Presi-
dent Of the Day then made his an
nouncements for the procession and
called upon the choir and audience
to sing the "Doxology," "Praise God
From Whom all Blessings Flow"
Tho exercises in the Hall concluded
with the benediction by the Chaplain.
A procession was then formed, led by
the Odd Fellows, followed by the
school children and the citizens of
the town, I'd proceeded to the store
Of Mr.. Bradley, next to the Bakery,

The procession was again formed In
line and returned to town and each
went their way satisfied that the day
had been appropriately observed by
the people Of Elko.
It rained during the exercises in
the Hall and while the PROCESSION
was on the way to the cemetery, and
while the work of decorating the
graves was going on the clouds
opened and the rain came down

enough to be without umbrellas. On
