The A,,anttc's Wild Waves.


NEW YORK, October IA passenger on
the steamship Umbria says:
1--WE shipped immense quantities of water.
but beyond port in the saloon being stove
in and one of the davits sprung, the casual
ties were few in number, the ship behaving
admirably in most trying circumstances.
Unfortunately, the passengers suffered acute
~, notwithstanding the unremitting efforts
mace for their comfort by the purser, Mr..
Fields, and the stewart, Mr.. Bond, and by
those acting under the direction of those
gentlemen. Two saloon passengers, one q
Mr.. Harrison, of Sheffield, were somewhat
seriously injured by falling, their injuries
necessitatlng surgical attendance.
"A lady, Mrs. Mormon, on her way home
to Lowell, Mass, accompanied by her son,
died on Wednesday from apoplexy following
sea sickness and the excitement inseparable
from the storm of the previous two days.
The unfortunate lady received every atten-
ton from the ships surgeon, who exhausted
his skill in her behalf.
''The voyage has proven the worst expert
enced by the Umbria for many months and
has strlkingIy illustrated the grim recources
of the Atlantic"
Four of the passengers of the steamer Au-
gusta Victoria, from Hamburg, have broken
limbs to exhibit as q record of the severity of
the voyage. Eight others were more or less
injured on the vessel. The Augusta Victoria
had similar experience to that of the Um-
bria. The vessel ran into the gale on the
4th, an6 could not shake it off until the 9th.
The sea ran mountain high and frequently
broke over the bows of the steamer, washing
everything movable from the decks. A
sudden roll of the vessel on the widest day
of the storm threw down many OF the pas
sengers, and when picked up, four were
found to have broken arms and legs, while
eight others were severely bruised.
The French steamship La Bretagne also
met the gale. Captain Collier, of the Bre-
taRne, reports that some fishing vessels cap
sized in the storm and that their crews took
to the boats and persisted.

wAsz1xGros, D. c.. October 1a-Sscre-
tary Rusk 10 in receipt OF . communication
from Colonel G. J. Murphy, q special agent
in Europe, on behalf of the maize industry.
Colonel Murphy proceeded to Berlin by the
secretary's instruction short time ago, in
order to take advantage of the present short
sge of the cereal crops of Europe BY pre-
senting to the attention of the German peo-
pie and government the importance and
value Of American Indian corn % cheap
and nutritious substitute for other cereal
foods.
Colonel Murphy writes most encouragingly
reporting his cordial reception by Minister
Phelps, ano the readiness of that gentleman
to forward his mission, and further states
that he has been able to produce bread COM
posed in part of rye and part Of corn, which
has been highly commended by all those to
whom samples have been submitted a. Q
most satisfactory substitute for the ordinary
rye bread in general uso among certain
classes in Germany, and this at cost, based
on the present price of rye flour and corn
meal In Germany, less than the cost of bread
made exclusively of rye -four and now re-
tailed in that city. Should special conces-
sions in the matter of tariff duties be secured
from the German government on Indian
corn. the outlook for large increase in our
exports of that product to Germany would,
in the opinion of Colonel Murphy, b most
promising.

Anx,ou. Abrut sehoo,.

GuTHR1H, o. T.. October 17.-In Governor
steete's report. just made public. the school
problem in the new counties is treated a.
follows:
81 am very sorry. indeed, that provision
waA not made by congress for helping the
settlers support the CO nmon schools in the
Sac and Fox, Iowa, Pottawatomie and ab-
sentee Shawnee lands recently thrown open
to settlement. for those sett!ere are not only
poor people, as were those who came into
this part of the territory, but they will have
the additional burden of caring 70. the In
dian children in great numbers who may at
tend common schools, Notwithstanding the
fact that the lands OF personal property of
these Indians may not be taxed to help sup
port the schools. This will be true With ref
erence to the Cheyenne and Arapahoe and
Kickapoo country. which it is hoped will be
thrown open to settlement early next spring.
It seems to me there Is more reason for help
ing the settlers support the schools in these
lands than there was in Oklahoma proper.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 20.-Presi-

speech. He said: "Mr. Chairman and Cen

morning to make an expression of my re-
spect and esteem for this great body Of dele
gates assembled from all the countries of the
world, and much more to give . manifesto

you stand. Applause. Every conference

I am glad to know as the followers of Yves

consultation as to the method ana time when
these minor divisions among you may be

grand divisions of the church can be united.
Who does not greatly rejoice that the con-
troversal teaching of the church is less than

G.. the Master and his teachings of love and
duty than of hair splitting and the discus

a watering place in Wisconsin that when the
Sabbath came around I went with some
friends to a little Methodist church in an adj |
joining village. The preacher undertook to |
overturn my Presbyterianism (laughter] and |
an irreverent friend who sat beside me as the |
young man delivered his telling blasts against |
Calvinlsm, was constantly emphasizing the
points made by nudges of his elbow. I am
glad to recall that although since then have |
Worshiped in Methodist churches, that was
the last experience of that kind have had. |

Phelps will succeed in securing for America
