Washington, Aug. S.-All the North
western members We're on :und when
the house was called To order. Fletcher,
of the Republicans, and Hall, of the
Democrats, We're the lucky men in the
lottery for seats. IIull's name wus
among the first called on the Democratic
side and he took Il scat on the second
aisle from the main on the right, just be
hind Holman. A large number Of seats
had been disposed of before the next
Minnesota man was "a He'd, and Fletcher
scat just beside Representative Sweet,
just behind Joe Cannon aud Boulrll.,
and they are just behind cx-Spcak"r
Reed. 1t WAS Il long time before amy
other Minnesota men were called, and
FINELY Roen's name WAS announced and
hc seated himself not far from the main
aisle on the back row. with Jopulist
KEN of Nebraska on one side and Bell
of Colorado on the other. The seats on
the Democratic side were nearly all talk
rn before Baldwin WAS called. and he
selected 4 seat around on the extreme
right of the speaker, one seat from the
after McClcarys name was called, fol
lowed by that of Tawney. Tawnry So
lcctc1 II seat Oh the sixth row next to
Pc of Illinois ut his left in the third
section from Tie main aisle. On the
next and |; st row McClcary seated him
self, and in few moments after was
joined hy Col. Kicfcr, and they took
seats just back of Tawncy. Two rather
good seats went begging for some tilne,
as Murray, the very bllck man from
South Can lnlina, had seated himself in
one and no one seemed to be anxious
to be next to him. Finally he got uI
and went out and Perkins, of the Sioux
City Journal, and Shaw of Eau Claire
Wis, took Il seat on either side of Muir
rays selection. The South Dakota mrI
did not fare very well. Capt Lucas got
far around to the left OH the last aisle
and fifth row, while I'icklcr is on til.
new seats away back, which were placed
there for the additional members. and is
not far from Kicfrr and MrClcary.
llaugrn, who represents Il West Wis
consin district. was also compelled to
take Il back seat rs his name was among
the last called. Johnson of North Da-
kota was also unlucky. and will sit in the
sixth, rather far back. Hartman, the
youthful looking member from Montana,
WAS among the early birds, and he gets
n good aisle seat in the center of the
Republican side.

shaft breaking at the thrust: wind and
and sea moderating, laid to and pro-
ceeded to make necessary repairs; 24th,
strong to light breeze, overcast with
SHOW squall and high northwest sea;
25th, light to strong breeze, with hard
squalls and hig westerly sea; Goth, mod
crate TO strong gale and westerly sea;
9th, moderate gale to strong breeze,
with northwest swell; 2Sth, fresh to
moderate breeze and smooth sea; 29th5
fresh to light breeze and fine weather,
smooth sea; 30th, light breeze and fine,
smooth sea. AT 1880 a. M: Fire island
abeam, Sandy Hook light 3:06 and
anchored at 7:41 a. m, weighed anchor,
arrived at quarantine $3.50 a. m.
Dec. %, at 800 p. m, in latitude 43:48,
longitude 57:l7, while plunging ahead
at full speed through the heavy seas the
engines suddenly stopped, caused by
the breaking Of the thrust shaft. The
repairs to the shaft took four days. The
break was just abaft the engine. The
shaft was spliced by boring holes for
four large bolts. which held a collar
about it to splice the break. Three
drag sea anchors were thrown out
the ship riding easily while drifting
eastward. Dec. "a, at Sis a. m, sighted
the Hamburg Packet company'S steamer
Bohemia, which was bound east, and
engaged her to tow to New York, and
at 1925 p. M, after towing about thirty
six miles during the heavy SNOW squalls,
towing gear on board Bohemia parted,
and at daybreak she was out of sight.
On the 25th exchanged night signals
with a Wilson steamer bound west and
on the following day spoke the Man
hansett, bound west and the company's
steamer GaIla, bound east. On the
9th the vessel proceeded under her
OWN steam, and arrived at Fire island
at 1880 a. lii. today. There was no
other damage on board and no panic
among the passengers. Notices were
generally posted throughout the ship
giving the actual state of affairs, and
the officers freely discussed the situa-
situation with the passengers and sue
ceeded in allaying fear.

ST. PAUL PARK.

Among the social events Of the season
none has been so thoroughly Ell joyable as
the Leap Year party Thursday night at Opera
hail, given by Miss Frances Parker ana Miss
Lily Crawshaw,. The young ladies received
much well-merited praise for their very sue
ccssfuI management of the whole affair and
the delightful entertainment of their guests
Mesdames Crawshaw, Parker and Sleen pre-
sided at the refreshment tables. Among
those present were II. w. Shade and wife,
Miss Maud Shade, Mrs. Haislep, Misses Ger
tie smith, Stella Hallowell, Butter and Ewing;
Messrs kamaley. George Deere and William
Whitaker, St Paul Miss Gardner Minneap
Emma Caward; Messrs. Ed Bunker and

Grove Music was furnished by the Twin

The party by the Columbia club Friday
night was very brilliant affair. About forty
couples were present. The music by the st.

electric light if he so desires. and sit in
stateroom heated by steam.
The officers of the Umbria eXerted
themselves to make things as pleasant
as possible for the passengers, Capt.
Mckay threw aside the mantle of super
human dignity that usually envelops
the commander of an ocean liner, and
told every body frankly and freely just
what was the matter with the machln-
cry. and what were the varying pros
poets from day to day of arrival in New
York. DR.. Flnnken put more sugar
than ever in the. pills he administered,
and was always ready with a joke or a
funny story il any one became too much
depressed in his vicinity. Purser
Field rendered very substantial serv-
ice by reappOrtl0ning the staterooms,
so as to give every one as comfortable
quarters as possible for a long wait, and
the chief stewart, Cora, busted himself
going about among the passengers to
inquire what were their favorite dishes,
and serving up the same at luncheons,
dinners and suppers. Everything was
done that could be done, in fact, to
mitigate the discomfort and disappoint-
ment of the travellers. who were de-
tanned at sea by all unavoidable accl-.
dent.
Altogether the victims Of the UNI
bria's ''shipreck" may, OH looking back
to their present trip, remember that they
have spent many an unhappier and less
comfortable fortnight than the one that
ended today. The only complaint that
any one has to make with regard to the
Cnnard company related to the Gallla
incident. Simon Stern is particularly
severe in this direction.
