Wives of Cabinet Officers to Go Into

WASHINGTON, Nov THE President
accompanied by Mrs. Mckee and Mrs.
Dimmick and by the venerable DR.. Scott
and his son Judge Scott of Washington
State, Mrs. Harrison's only brother, who
was unable to reach here in time for the
funeral of Mrs Harrison, attended this
morning service at the Church of the
Covenant yesterday. As they came out
at the close OF the service they passed Mr.
Blaine, who, walking alone, was taking
his daily constitutional.
1t has been the expressed wish of the
President that Mrs. Harrison's death
should be regarded as private bereave.
ment and be unaccompanied by any pub
lie demonstrations. The statement is
made, however, that, as the result of q
private conference between Mrs. Morton
the wife of the Vice President, and Mrs
j. w. Foster, the wife of the Secretary of
State, it has been agreed that the wives ol
the Cabinet officers will wear mourning
Cor the next 80 days, and during tha
time will refuse all invitations to enter
tainments or attendance upon places o
public amusements.

FEARS NO TROUBLE,

Acting Attorney General AIdrIoh on the

WASHINGTON, Nov. Tn an inter
view last night Acting Attorney General
Aldrich said in regard to the circular re-
Gently issued by him, that he did not
anticipate any trouble or conflict between
the Federal and State officers in the en-
forcement of election laws tomorrow.
The United States officers had been can
toned to do anything to provoke a con
troversy, and he had no doubt that State
officers had received similar instructions.
But what about deputy marshals 60
ing within the booths or behind the
guard raili" was asked Mr. Aldrich.
Mr.. Aldrich--They are not expected to
do so unless necessary, in order to dis
charge some duty imposed on them by
the statutes of the United States. Where
necessary, they have the right to go
anywhere about the polls or ballot boxes
in discharge of duty. But ordinarily it
will only be necessary that they be about
outside ready for any emergency that
may arise. If they obey instructions,
as no doubt they will, their presence will
simply be conducive to good order and a
fair election.

CRUSHED IN THE ARCTIC
The Whaler Helen Mar Sunk
by an Iceberg.
THIRTY -FOUR MEN WENT DOWN.

But Five Escaped, aud All Under
went Thrilling Experience Before Be
ing Rescued from an Ice Floo-Ths Cap
tain Recently Married In Nantucket.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. z. News of one
of the worst disasters that has happened
in the Arctic for years is brought by the
steam whaler Beluga.
1t tells Of the loss Of the Helen Mar and
the drowning of "a men, Only one of che
five who survived the disaster came here,
and he is now in the Marine hospital for
treatment.
The story which this survivor, named
Koshan, tells through an interpreter il
lustrates the perils of whaling in the far
north.
The Helen Mar was an old, but staunch,
craft, which sailed from San Francisco
on the Oath of last December under Capt.
H. O. Thaxter.
On Oct. g. when in latitude II degrees
north, the vessel took two whales. The
crew were 50 busy in trying out the catch
that they did not observe the swift cur
rent carrying them toward a great ice
foe in the centre Of which was huge
iceberg
When they observed their peril there
was no time left to escape wreck. They
had got out two boats, but had no time
TO get into them before the vessel came
into contact with the foe. The sharp
| edge of the ice cut through her null as a
knife cuts Cueest.
In moment two masts snapped off
and fell on Uue ice, and the vessel went
down as though the bottom had dropped
out. just as she was sinking, Fifth
Aate William Ward aud four men leaped
on the ice foe, and saved their lives.
They saw the captain and the first
I mate struggling in the water, but could
not lend any help. In five minutes the
| captain and 33 men had found watery
grave.
The men on the foe besides Mate Ward
were Boat Steerer Anton Pargahno, Cook
Acy Rershaw, and Sailors Katsura and
| Perores Their situation was very bad,
| as the foe was swept by icy winds and
/ they had no shelter.
They hoisted shirt on fragment of a
spar and waited for help from some pass
ing vessel. The spent 40 hours on the
ice before they were seen by the steamer
Orica, which mistook them for walruses.
Soon after their rescue the steam
whaler Beluga came along and took the
men on board. All except Kashan were
left at Unalaska, as they were 50 badly
frozen they could not be brought down.
They will all recover, but Mate Ward
will be a cripple,
The saddest feature of the story is thai
the captain was married last just before
he sailed, to a lady in Nantucket. He
brought her here and took her as far al
Unalaska
From there she returned to San Fran
cisco, and is now in Oakland.
The vessel was built in 1858 in New
Bedford. She is owned by Wright &
BoneY of San Francisco. All the crey
are from this place.

New YoRK, Nov. THE work at both

with Some OF these employees will re.
turn to their homes to vote, and Others
will remain in the city until after cleo

OF the National Committeeman, it is
said that none of them will go home to

where the result is not at ali doubtful.
At National Democratic Headquarters
it is said that ali the committeeman from

Senator German will go home, but will

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov 7-The fusion

and the first trial of the Australian ballot

what the result will be tomorrow. Re

Republican column by about 1000 votes,
