The Holm ss Abduction Case.

The oonvIetfo6 ot Pearl Prendergast and
immoral. purposes, produced q feeling of
profound satisfaction in this community.
The testimony showed them to be not only
very bad women, but very dangerous ones
to society. The amount of harm which
such women can do in corrupting the morals
OF young people and leading them from the
path Of virt1sis almost inoaloulable Ella
Holmes was tod yoting to understand fully
she characters Of Pearl Prendergast
and Alice White, and for that
reason they had very little difficulty in
getting control of her. Had there not been
an active and persistent search made for
her at once it would not have been long be-
fore she would have been beyond the reach
OF good influences. No evidence was brought
out during the trial to show how many
young people the convicted women have as
sisted in running, but there was testimony
that the older woman had been a procuress
for long time. The seven years in the
penitsntiary to which she has been SEN
fenced is not TOO severe punishment. The
community Is fortunate in being rid Of her,
and also of the younger woman, who,
though not so old in crime, appears to be a
thoroughly hardened criminal and past oil
hope OF reformation.
Grimes like that Of Pearl Pendergast and
Alice White, and also of Landsberg are not
regarded with any degree of liberation in
this community. Judge Falligant and the
solicitor general, while desiring that only
strict justice shall be done, are not inclined
to show the least leniency to this GLASS of
criminals. And those who are called as
jurors, being in sympathy with public ssnti-
ment, do not hesitate to find verdicts OF
guilty. Under the circumstances moral
lepers of the Pearl Prendergast variety are
not likely to ind this city 9 comfortable
place in which 10 live. And the man Sibley,
who was connected with the abduction case,
got just such a sentence as he deserved.

Where is Mr.. Patrick Egan, anyway
Two months ago 1t was reported he had
been granted leave of absence, and had
left Chile on his way to the United States.
Then the report was sent out that he had
been recalled, and about two weeks ago it
was announced that Mr. Conger, successor
TO MIR. Egan az minister TO Chile, had sailed
from New York for Valparaiso. Since then
nothing had been heard Of either OF the
gentlemen, except occasional demands for
Mr.. Egan's recall on the part of the New
York Herald, until yesterday, when dis
patch from Washington to the MORNING
NEWS stated that Mir. Egan had not yet
taken advantage OF his vacation and is still
in Chile. Then what about CONCERT Is he
not a minister to something's And what
about Egapi Can he hope for any further
preferment If he does not come home and
work for the reelection of his chiefl There
is somethingmixed about the Chilean situa-
tion-terribly mixed. And the true in
wardness Of 10 appears TO be one Of those
things which no fellow can find out.

The Revenue Marine Transfer.

The Revenue Marine Transfer.
The bill providing for the transfer OF the
revenue marine service from the treasury
department TO the navy department, having
been favorably reported by the committees
of both houses OF congress, appears to be in
fair way to become a law. 1t is now
just about where fs was In the last
congress, when Senator Sherman, by fill
clustering, managed to ''shelve" ii. But tho
friends Of the measure are working hard to
avert a similar fate for It at the hands of
this congress, and their efforts, and the bill
itself, merit success.
Under the provisions of the bill the change
would prove a great saving TO the
government. Cadets OF the naval
academy, who are entered for a term
of six years with pay, are an expense to the
government for the full term whether they
are in service all that time or not. The
school term lasts four years, and the cadets
are then graduated. Under the present
arrangement Of the navy and revenue ma
rine only few Of these graduates, taken
from the top of the list, are put into naval
service; the others are honorably discharged
with pay. Under the transfer bill all Of the
graduates would be put into the revenue
service where they would at once go into sea
training for the naval service. Thus the reve-
nue. marine would become a naval training
school, in which practice as well as theory
would be taught
Another feature of the bill that recon-
mends it is its provision for the retirement
Of old officers. In this only justice would be
dana 70 thoaa faithful old 0G9oar- bo haua
pent the better part of their lives In the
service And at the same time it would do
justice to the younger officers by
affordinZ them the same op-
portunities for advancement that are
enjoyed by the younger officers in the army
and the navy. The vessels of the revenue
marine, for purposes of construction and
repair, would be under the direction of the
secretary OF the navy, which would permit
of all modern improvements utilized In naval
vessels being applied to the cutters But
in actual revenue service, both vessels aud
men would be under the direction Of the Sec
rethry Of the Treasury, as at present
II has heretofore been urged as an obiec-
item to the bill that the naval officers are OPP
posed TO the transfer. But this Is pro-
nounoSd by gentlemen familiar with the
matter IL be an error. There are number
Of Leading naval officers in favor of
it, recognizing that the navy would
be strengthened by the addition of
this new arm to tho service. The bill also
has tho Endorsement Of the Secretary of the
Navy, and, before BY death, WAS favored
by Secretary of the Treasury Window. 1t
is bill looking to tina improvement Of both
services affected, and should become law.

To deal in suppositions for moment,
suppose the Peoples party should carry
Georgia, North Carolina and several other
southern states, thereby enabling the Repub-
iicsn party to elect its President and ma
jority OF congress, how would those white
men in Georgia, and the other southern
states, feel when two years from November
they approach the polls for the purpose of
voting to find the polling booths guarded by
United States troops-colored troops at
that's Every vote diverted from the Demo
cratic party in this election means a vote
cast to bring about just such state of
affairs. II those people OF Wayne county
who announce their intention Of putting
third party ticket In the field are ready TO

the right direction; IL they are not they
should stand squarely in the ranks of the
Democratic party-that is, those Of them
who have been afflliating with the Demo
cratic party.

1t is queer what changes few years
bring about. In the fall of 1876 there was
no more unpopular man In South Carolina
than D, Il. Chamberlain, then governor of
the state and a candidate for reelection.
Now there is no man In the state more
popular with the business community than
D. H. Chamberlain, receiver OF the South
Carolina railway, who will probably be
made president of the road upon its re-
organization. In politics Mr.. Chamberlain
is now what is known ss a mugwump-
that is, he is independent, and votes and
talks for the man he thinks is the best one.

Increasing the Appropriation Bills.
The republican Senate is doing its utmost
to increase the total of the appropriations
for this session of congress. The amount of
about every appropriation bill sent to it by
the democratic House has been increased
In not q few instances largely increased.
The House has been trying to be economi-
cal in making appropriations The Senate
is trying, apparently, to be as extravaganza
as possible. 1t is certainly not in sympa-
thy with the House with respect to the ex-
penditure of the public money.
No doubt the Senate has purpose In
making the total of the appropriations as
large as possible. The appropriations of
the last congress, which was repu blican in
both branches, amounted to e billion of
dollars. The extravaganza Of that con-
gress has been very generally condemned.
What the republicans would like is to have
it appear that this congress is just as ex-
travagant as the last one. 1t looks, there
fore, as if the republican Senate was in
creasing the appropriations with the Wow
Of robbiug the Democratic party of an ar
gument in the presidential campaign-an
argument showing republican extrava-
gance.
The Republican party has never hesltated
to use the treasury to keep itself in power
A very large part of the pension burden is
due to the efforts Of that party to retain
control of the soldier vote, and now it is
striving to increase the amount of the ap-
preparation bills in order TO lead the coun-
try to believe that the Democratic party is
just as extravaganza as it is. Its method of
defending its extravaganza is a rather
costly one, but it will hardly be successful.

Chicago had rain for twenty eight con-

rained at least a part OF every day in June.
The effect has been that the sewage of the
city is pouring into the lake at the rate of
500, eco cubic feet a minute Two miles out
in the lake are the tunnel ports leading to
the city water works, and, the polluted
water having reached them, it is being
pumped back through the mains
into the city and distributed TO water
takers. The authorities have advised all
users Of city water to boil 1t before using;
but, even with this precaution, if sickness
does not result it will be almost miracle.

The captains of two ocean steamers which
arrived In New York Sunday report that
about 200 miles east Of Sandy Hook they
passed portions OF a wreck which led them
to believe that sailing vessel had been
sliced In two somewhere in that neighbor :
hood by an iron steamer. The maritime
authorities in New Y ork have canvassed the
possibilities and probabilities, and reached
the conclusion that IL there was a collision
at that place, 1t was between the Portuguese
steamer Vega from New York aad the
British sailing ship Fred B. Taylor, from
Yarmouth, N. s. Such calamity would
involve 600 lives in the greatest peril How
ever, there is a lack of positive information
on the subject. The Vega is overdue, and
the stern of the wreck bore the words Var
mouth. N. S." aud upon these clews all sur
misses are based.

Gresham ''intlmated" to q committee Of

ton. The committeeman, however, feel
sure that he would accept, and are at work

ago Judge Gresham said, it is understood,
that he would not accept. II anything has

Barker had behind him Tom Matthews
and jim Ryan. Up to the eighth round
the amateur had the best of
the fight, Davis being weak and
groggY. Towards the end of
the eighth round Davis landed
a swinging lett-hand blow on Barker's
chin, which knocked him out. Nothing
serious was apprehended until today,
when Barker took to his bed. Medical
aid was called in. but to no purpose.
Barker died, and the doctors decline to
state until after the autopsy, which will
be held tomorrow, whether death re-
shifted from the force of the blow or
from congestion. Davis is in Jail pend
ing investigation. The seconds are be-
ing arrested and placed under bond.
The officials Of the athletic club, it is
likely, will be arrested tomorrow. and
considerable excitement prevails. Law
yers say the crime, if crime it proves to
be, will he involuntary manslaughter,

Onment.

The Steamer Premier Run
Down by the Willamette

SEATTLE. Wash, Oct. 9.-The Cana
dian Pacific Navigation company's
steamer Premier was struck by the
steam collier Willamette in dense fog
OF WILDLY island, about ten miles
south of Port Townsend, yesterday aft
ernoon. Four were killed, one drowned
and seventeen badly wounded. The
steam tug Goliah arrived here this
morning with three of the dead. all of
the wounded and other passengers,
after having spent several hours in an
attempt to save from the wreck the
body of an unknown passenger wedged
in there. The dead are Johanns Moe,
OF Tacoma; Frank G. Wynkoop, son of
d. j. Wynkoop, of Tacoma; John
Rankin of Seattle, unknown passenger,
man about forty, still in the wreck.
An unknown passenger jumped over
board and was drowned. The Premier
left Port Townsend about half-past l
yesterday for Seattle in heavy fog,
blowing her whistle continuously.
When off Point-No-Point another
whistle sounded close by, and almost
Immediately afterwards
The fore cabin of the Premier was
smashed to splinters, and the Prov of
the willamette was found jammed right
into the bow of the Premier. The Villa
mette was laden with coal, and was on
her way from Seattle to San Francisco.
There were number of men on the
Premier's cabin, one of whom was killed
together with boy. A steward who
was in the saloon eating his dinner was
instantly killed. Several other passen-
gers were jammed in the debris, some
of them seriously wounded and ali more
or less bruised. The stern of the Will
iamette was so deeply imbedded into
the Premier that the passengers scram-
bled over broken woodwork and onto
the collier. The ladies were handed up
first, followed by the wounded as fast
as they could be moved. Men with
broken limbs and both men and women
With Bleeding Faces
and bodies were helped up. 1t was soon
seen to be impossible to draw off the
Willamette without sinking the Pre-
mier. So Capt. Anderson determined to
forge ahead, driving before him the
steamer spiked on his bow. He forced
her back on the beach, and was SO
tightly wedged that he could not back
off without dragging the Premier with
him. The tug Goliah. towing out a
schooner, was hailed. and she took off
the passengers, bearing them to Seattle,
where they arrived about midnight.
The receding tide left both stranded
and still interlocked. 1t was feared
that the bow of the Willamette was
partly stove in, although the whole af-
fair was over in a few minutes, and the
passengers quickly recovered from their
momentary shock and fright. There
was some pitiable SCIENCES. One man,
whose name is unknown, was crazed
with fear and Immediately sprang over
board.

THE GREAT SCHOOL PARADE.
1t Will Be Feature of the Column
bus Celebration.


New YORK, Oct. 9-Some months
ago the Youths Companion suggested
to its readers that the 400th anniversary
of the discovery of America by Christie
pher Columbus afforded an unparalleled
opportunity for patriotic demonstra-
ton. 1t had already assisted tens of
thousands of public schools in the nation
to supply themselves with school flags,
and provided a formula Of flag exercises
to be used on holidays, and year ago
in October organized the Lyceum
League of America, an order of
young men who banded together for
the purpose of studying and debating
American subjects. the Companion
offering to furnish free full debating
club outfit. This offer resulted in the
enrolment of some 10000 men between
the ages of nineteen and forty years of
age into about 1900 clubs in less than
four months, every state and territory
being represented.
When, theI efore, the proposition was
made that the Columbian celebration
should be particularly a public school
patriotic jubilee, educators from every
state hailed 1T with enthusiasm. A na-
tional committee was appointed by the
superintendentS of education last Feb
rnary with Francis Beilemy, of the
Youths Companion, as chairman. with
headquarters at Boston.
A national programme of exercises
for use in the schools and for popular
local demonstrations was adopted by the
committee, and on Sept. 1t was pub

Iished, together with an ode by Edna
Dean Proctor, entitled "Columbia's
Dinner" Tens of thousands of public
schools at once adopted the programme,
so that when President Harrison was
authorized by congress to issue pro-
clamation appointing Oct. 81, 1892, ma
tional holiday. the governors of some
thirty states followed his example by is
suing proclamatiOns in harmony with
his in their several states.
The legislature of New York state
used the old style calendar in dating it's
celebration, and therefore named Oct.
IL for It's holiday. One of the most no
uceable events in the series will un-
doubtedly be the school and college
parade on the lines Indicated. The or
ganlzation and execution of the school
and college parade was almost entirely
the work of Hon. John Winfield Scott,
New York representative of the Youths
Pompanion. Army officers have char
acteriZed his conduct of the affair as
brilliant in the extreme.
The New York, Brooklyn and Long
Island city public schools have adopted
the official programme for use in their
school exercises on Oct. 20, 1892.

TOOK HER OWN LIFE.
A Lot of Bad Boys Drive an On
tariO School Teacher to
Suicide.
Them She Gets a Black
Eye.

CHATHAM, Ont, Oct. 9.-Overcome
with shame and anger at her inabllitg to
punish one of the refractory boys in her
school yesterday afternoon, Miss Alice
Granger, school teacher, last night
took her own life by means of morphine.
Miss Granger has had charge of the
school for three years, and has always
been successful with her pupils until
the present term, when half-doZen i'll
corrigible boys came under her control.
For six weeks they have made life
burden to her by refusing to obey
rules and instigating rebellion among
younger pupils. The teacher has ap-
pealed several times to the school
board for assistance, but, as two
of its members are the fathers
of the troublesome students, never re-
celved any. She finally determined to
take fOrcible action in the matter, and,
after particularly bad outbreak. tried
to use rattan on Harry Bortling. He
rebelled, and in the Scrimmage other
boys came to his aid and blackened the
teachers eyes. She at once closed the
school and returned home. Last night
she was found stretched across her
bed dead. An empty phial of morphine
lay beside her, and in her hand was
found this note: II am tired of trying
to teach bad BOYS"
