Kyle's Marriage Law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-In the senate
to-day Mr.. Kyle called up his joint reso.
luton proposing an amendment to the
constitution making uniform laws in re-
gard to marriage end divorce, and read a
prepared speech upon the subject. Mr..
Kyle said that although his own state
of South Dakota had secured an unenvi-
able reputation in regard to divorce, its
laws in that respect we're no more lax
srhan those of other states, but he
would admit that the provision
authorizing a divorce after ninety
days residence was productive of fraud
and perjury, and often made divorce a
farce. A national law would remedy ali
these. Parties married in one state
would be married in every state; those
divorced in one state would be divorced
in every state; the sanctity of the family
would be maintained, and the legitimacy
of children would be placed beyond
question. He usled that his resolution
be referred to the judiciary committee,
and it was so ordered.

BECOMING MORE SERIOUS.
The Elder Firing Minute Guns of Dis
tress-Seas Run High.

The Elder Firing Minute Guns of Dis
tress-seas Run High.
LONDON, Feb. z. AS the day wears
on the news from the Elder becomes
more and more serious. She is now fir
ing minute guns Of distress. On shore
the coast guardsmen have repeatedly
shot the rocket line, ball, chain and line
in the direction Of the steamship, but
each time the line has fallen short of
the mark. This is due, not only to the
distance she lies off shore, but to the
strength of the wind, which is blowing
dead in the teeth of the life savers. AS
sistance has been sent for to all neigh
boring points. and the North German
Lloyd agents at Southampton are ex-
erting themselves to the utmost in
their efforts to save the lives of the pas
sengers and crew, and can possibly save
the crew and her cargo. The life boats
throughout the morning continued their
gallant efforts to battle successfully
with the wind, waves and rocks, and at
least one more boat is now known to
have managed to get alongside the i'm
perilled steamer. The life boats are
taking the greatest risks in their deter
mination to approach the Elder, and are
in constant danger of being stove in by
the sharp pointed rocks, or if they es-
cape this danger, of being crushed to
pieces alongside the vessel they are try
ing to assist. An attempt to pass the
rocky barriers alone is most hazardous
undertaking, as the sea has not, up to
this hour, abated in the slightest degree
in violence.

ernment and other tugs would be able
to pull tho Elder off At night, but all At
tempts in that direction have failed.
Throughout the night a high wind
which prevailed, raising = heavy sea
which caused high breakers to sweep
almost continually over the Elder. The
result is that her position has been
changed decidedly for tho worse. Her
propeller has been carried away and the
size of the leak in her bottom has in
creased and tho water is gaining. The
life boats were got out ready to take off
the crew when the word to abandon the
ship should be given.
AS this dispatch is cabled nearly all
hope of saving the Elder may be said to
have been abandoned Seventy-six bags
OF mail have been landed, and number
OF the crew have also been sent ashore
in the local life boats The Elders life
boats have been launched and are along
side OF her, ready to take off the re-
mainder of the crew. The sea is break
ing turiously over the unfortunate boat.
and wreckage from her is being washed
ashore. She is now full of water.
Acting, it is believed, under iustruc-
tlons from the agents of the company,
the officers of the Elder, refuse to give
any explanation on the the disaster,
further than to say that Sunday night
was so very foggy that they were un-
able to see any lights on the English
coast while making their way up the
channel. At rough estimate the cargo
of the Elder is valued at about $50, 900,
not including the specie, which will be
saved. The steamship is valued at
$70O,00O. Both vessel and cargo are
fully insured.

Atherfield rocks, as already stated. The
suddenness with which the steamer ran
ashore can be judged from the fact that
the hand lead was kept going
on the waste, while the
patent lead was hove over her
quarter, and that both reported plenty
of water until almost the instant the
steamship struck.
Then a Scene of Terror Followed.
The passengers rushed on deck in
their night clothes or partially dressed
and were with difficulty Gained by the
ships officers, who assured them that
there was no danger. Women and
children cried piteously and the male
passengers were much alarmed but were
prevailed upon to return to their cabins
anu make the necessary preparations to
abandon the ship, should such course
be found necessary. In the meanwhile
the captain had ordered the crew to
boat quarters and saw that the small
caaft were got ready for launching in
the most prompt manner possible. A
hasty examination of the damage done
to the steamer and of the position in
which she rested, showed that she was
on the rocks about mile from the
shore, and there was no denying that
she was
In q Situation of Great Peril.
The Atherfield coast guard life boat,
attracted by the rockets sent up from
the Elder, managed to reach the side of
the steamer by midnight, although by
that time heavy sea was rolling and a
sea gale had sprung up, forcing
the steamer more and more
upon the rocks and considerably
lessening her chances of getting
off. When the coast guardsmen reached
the Elder they offered to take off the
passengers, but Captain Henriecke de-
clined to allow thellrto leave the ship,
expressing himself confident of provid-
AEg for their safety. BY this time the
wind had increased SO much that most
furious gale was raging, the wind blow
Ing dead ashore, and the sea rlslng every
moment and breaking over the steam
ship, which was working badly on the
rocks, and increasing the size Of the
holes cut in her bottom. The water was
also rising in her hold in spite of the
fact that the pumps were kept going
continually. Eventually the passengers
became SO alarmed and pleaded 80 earn
estly with Captain Scheike to be allowed
to go ashore in the coast guard or other
life boats that the Elders commander
consented to allow some of them to do
80 and thirteen of the passengers were
landed safely at Atherfeld in the life
boat, after passing through an ex-
perience among the waves off shore that
they are not likely to forget for the re-
mainder of their lives.

Killed for East Driving.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-Harry De
Greayer, we'll known local contractor,
who was shot Saturday even
ing in Golden Gate Park by
Mounted Policeman Harper, is dead.
The policeman claims that De Greayer
was driving too fast, and that when re-
monstrated with he pulled pistol and
fired, and in self defense the officer shot
him through the left shoulder. The
wounded man stated before his death
that the officer fired first and that he
only drew his weapon after he had been
shot. This is corroborated by several
eye witnesses. Samuel w. Harper who
did the shooting, is an ex-cowboy who
was hired to bring buffalo for the park
from Montana. Afterward he was put
on the park police. He was released
after the shooting, but now is under
aroest. .t 5gz>

AFTER THE RUSTLERS,
One Montana Ranchman Said to Have
Killed Four Horse Thieyes

One Montana Ranchman Said to Have
Killed Four Horse Thieves.
HELENA, Mon, Feb 3.-For some
time past gang of desperadoes has
been conducting lively business in
horse stealing in that part of Montana
lying south of the Yellowstone, and in
Fremont county. Wyoming. Well
known stock growers of Yellowstone
county have lost about four hundred
horses. Other stock growers have con-
trib'lted several hundred more, and it is
believed that the outlaws have now
about six hundred head in their possess
sion. The situation has become so Sc
rious that Il band Of thirty resolute citi-
zens was recently organized, and set out
to attempt the recovery of the stock and
thin out the thieves. 1t is rumored that
in an encounter a few days ago four of
the latter were killed. The gang of
desperadoes, however, number about
fifty, and the citizens require reinforce
ments before attempting to complete
the work they have begun. An effort
is now being made to raise fund
of $4,000 to carry out the campaign.
1t is believed that the horse thieves
have agents in several Montana towns
and at points on the Union Pacific. Oc--
cassionally few stock cars are ordered
and hastily loaded with horses which
are accompanied by one or members of
the gang. A lot of stolen horses were
recently identified in Chicago by the
brand of the owner. About four years ago
~ n
severe losses from desperadoes. The
ranchmcn organized and in one season
hanged more than twenty of the rust
lers. Since then there has been no cattle
stealing of any consequence in Montana.

STILL ON TIE ROCKS.

Attempts to Float the Elder Thus Far
Futile - Agents Have Hope.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-The North German
Lloyd steamship Elder is still ashore on
the rocks of Atherfeld, Isle of Wight,
and there is little or no prospect of ever
seeing her afloat again. Captain Helm
reicke, and the twenty-five men who re-
manned with him on board the stranded
steamship throughout the night are still
holding the fort, and managed to pass
the night without any extraordinary
discomfort. All the mail bags have not
yet been landed, though eighty more of
them were forwarded to London at
midnight.
Relieve They Can Save the Ship.
Captain Heinreicke still holds to the
belief that his steamship can be saved,
but his opinion in this matter is not
shared by the experts who have exam
ined the stranded vessel. The agents
of the North German Lloyd company
are even more hopeful than Captain
Heinreicke. They declare the position
of the Elder is not hopeless, and that
there is probability that the wrecking
steamers will be able to get her off after
she has been ightened and the holes in
her bottom are temporarily stopped by
the divers who are to be put to work for
the purpose. Powerful steam pumps
will then be set to work, and the agents
believe that the steamship will be buoy
ant enough to enable her to be towed
into Southampton. The work of land
ing the mails was continued during the
morning, and as this message is being
forwarded $50 bags of mail matter had
been safely landed.
