Coast of GaIlicia.
MADRID, Feb. 10,-A dispatch from
Corunna states that the Anchor line
steamer Trinacria, which was reported
Wednesday as having been lost on Cape
Villano, one of the northwesterly points
of the province of Galicia, has COM
pletely broken up. Her crew numbered
thirty-seven all told. Seven were saved,
and nearly all of them had sustained
more or less serious injuries. There
were a number of passengers on the
steamer, mostly members of the Mis-
sion of Gibralter and soldiers belonging
to the garrison at that place.
The Beach Is Strewn with Bodies
washed from the steamer. Large guam
titles of cargo are also coming ashore.
A tremendously heavy sea is running,
which renders it impossible for small
boats to approach the place where the
Trinacria went down. The weeck, or
what remains of it, is lying on a rock
only short distance from the shore.

STATE PORTFOLIO.
OFFERED TO AND ACCEPTED BY
JUDGE GRESHAM.

The Fact Will, 1t Is Said. Be Made
Public Soon by Cleveland Himself.
Judge Gresham Preparing to Vacate
His Seat and Remove to WASH
ton-Considerations Which In
duced Mr. Cleveland to Select the
Indiana Jurist.
CHICAGO. Feb. "a special to The
Herald from New York says:
Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of Chi
rago, is to be secretary of state in the
Cleveland administration. This fact
has become known here during the day
to a few persons. The offer Of the post
has been made to Judge Gresham and
he has accepted. Mr.. Cleveland him
self will make the fact known in day
or two. This selection will be sure to
create some surprise when it becomes
known.
Gresham to Leave the Bench.
The rumor that Gresham was offered
the place was circulated here some time
ago, and was received with incredulity
by many Democrats. They did not
deem it possible that Mr.. Clevelend
would go outside the ranks of his party
for a secretary of state and did not
think that Judge Gresham would &C
cept even if the tender was made him.
But the unexpected has happened and
Judge Gresham will in two weeks re-
sign his seat On the bench and prepare
to remove to Washington to take up his
duties as secretary of state. Thus
man who four years ago was candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination is to become premier under
the incoming Democratic administra-
ton.
Gresham Not Talking.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-The Herald has
the following: Judge Gresham refuses
to discuss the dispatch from New York
relative to his acceptance of cabinet
portfolio: This action on the part of
the eminent jurist, when taken in con-
junction with the questions put to him
by The Herald reporter is equivalent to
an acknowledgment that he has accepted
the premiership. 1t will be readily
understood that Judge Gresham could
not talk on the subject until Mr.. Cleve-
land had announced his intentions.

A HOME RULE BILL,
Mr.. Gladstone Introduces the Much.
TaIked.Of Measure.


LONDON, Feb. 13.-The struggle
among the members of the house of
commons and others to obtain seats to
listen to what was generally conceded
would be masterpiece of oratory when
Mr.. Gladstone made his speech giving
the details of the Irish home rule bill pro
duced the oldest mixture of members
The seating capacity of the house, as is
well known, is entirely too small to &C
commodate even the members and the
time honored custom of members who
could get seats, sitting together according
to their political predictions, was hon,
ored. The rush to get into the galleries
was equal to the struggle to enter the
legislative chamber. All the galleries
were packed to their
Fullest Capacity.
Justice Harlan, of the United States
supreme court, who will sho1 tly pro-
ceed to Paris to take part in the Beh,
ring sea arbitration, had seat in the
diplomatic gallery. He was accom-
panied by the Hon. Robert T. Lincoln,
the United States minister. Scores of
other noted strangers were in the gal
leries.
Spoke for Two Hours.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke continuously for
over two hours, concluding his speech
at 6 o'clock, amid storms of applause
When the cheering had died out Sir
Edward Clarke, who was attorney gen
eral in the Salisbury administration.
congratulated Mr.. Gladstone on the
magnificent physical effort which he
had just made, and then proceeded to
enlarge on the proposals Of the bill. Re-
marks were also made by other men,
bers of the house before adjournment.
The Parneliites express hesitant ap-
proval of the bill, though they are dis
satisfied with the proposal to retain the
land under English jurisdiction for
three years.

AGAIN RISING.
The Ohio River Continues to Cause
Alarm.

Alarm.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 13.-The tickle Ohio
river has again frightened people along
its banks. Sunday it was falling at all
points above, and now Charleston,
Point Pleasant, Catlettsburg and
Portsmouth report the water rising.
IN this city there has been no check in
the present rise. At 6 o'clock a. m. the
stage was 4S.5 feet. At 6p. IN. it was
40 feet and rising slowly. At Catletts-
burg there was rain and snow during
the day, which may cause a continued
rise here. Good judges do not expect
more than fifty feet if there is no rain,
but rain is predicted, and if it is extern
sive the apprehension will increase.

SLICK CIRCUS MEN.
How an Old Farmer at Union city was
BunoOed out of His Money.

Union City Commercially
While Col. G. w. Hall is a very
fine old man and runs a pretty good
show, he has some tricky men with
him that he should get rid of.
When a very well-to-do farmer
who had gone into the show last
Tuesday was going from the men
agerie to the main show the usual
cry was heard PRESERVED seats here"
When the gentleman in question
came to the ticket man he was ask
ed how much he was charged at
the main entrance. When told he
paid 80 cents, the ticket man said:
Why, they charged you entire
ly too much. l will give you a re-
bate. Just give me a 5-dollar bill
and will give you 1926 in silver,
as | have no 5-dollar bill"
The gentleman gave him a 5-dol-
lar bill; then the ticket man said:
"Just give me ten if you have
it, and 1 will give you $1050forit. /"
Our friend gave up the ten and
when he had gotten to his seat he
found that the generous Snowman
had given him 1-dollar bill and
S. in silver, beating him out of 81.
Officer w. j. Roberts kept an eye
on the ticket man after this, but
was unable to catch him.

IT transpires now that Senators
Harris and Bate have the people of
Tennessee behind them, and let
him who will say "damn the peo-
people" We lay it down as an in
controvertible proposition that it
is better that an unwise measure
advocated by the people at large
should prevail than that the few
whose views are sounder should
thwart them in their wishes. For
there is no reason for believing that
in the long run the intelligent few
are any wiser than the multitude.
So, although we were for repeal, we
believe the people we're "agin" it,
and so believing we are content to
have it so, for in the end we hold
that "the voice Of the people is the
voice Of Cod" Bristol Courier.

SENATORS Bate and Harris are
being called obstructionists by a
great many newspapers. The Dis
patch is willing to confess that they
are obstructionists, but not in the
sense their opponents would have
it appear. The Senators purpose
is to obstruct bill that would be
detrimental and ruinous to the best
interests Of the people. Harris and
Bate, like true patriots, do not pro-
pose to support measure that will,
if enacted into a law, make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. In this
fight Tennessee's two Senatorshay
shown themselves, in the Judgment
of the Dispatch, to be in harmony
and sympathy with an overwhelm-
ing majority Of their constituents.

ties of the people and have the cour-
age of their convictions to carry
