FOUNDERING OF A STEAMER
The City of Savannah Lost, but Her
Passengers Saved.

SAVANNAH (Ga.), August 3o.-The
steamship Birmingham arrived this
evening from New York two days over
due She brings a portion of the pas
sengers and crew of the steamship City
of Savannah, wrecked on Monday
morning off the shoals, six miles from
ST. Helena lighthouse, S. c.
The City of Savannah left Boston on
Thursday afternoon last and went
through three storms, each one being
worse than the preceding. Sundays
was the worst, and after a terrible day
the ship, it seemed, could last but a
few hours more, SO Captain Savage
headed her for shoal water.
All night long the vessel ran in the
storm, the passengers expecting death
every minute. Early Monday morning
she went aground and all the upper
works began to give way. In the after
noon a small boat with three of the
crew who volunteered was sent to find
place on shore where landing might
be made.
Tuesday morning, the boat not hav-
| ing returned, the only two boats left
were manned and filed with women
and children. Four of the strongest
of the crew were selected for each, and
they started for land. They were
heard from tonight, having arrived at
St. Helena island, where they are being
well cared for.
Those who remained on the steamer
were rescued by the Birmingham. The
latter vessel left New York Saturday
and Sunday night she labored in a
terrific storm.
| There was no abatement Monday
until evening, by which time the shiT
was blown far out Of her course, Al
daylight Tuesday, the steamer was run
ming through wreckage of all des
criptions. She came across the
schooner Joseph Suther, with crew
of seven men, the vessel being water
logged The men were rescued Late
a capsized vessel was sighted, bu
There were no signs of her crew. A
number of other vessels were met witt
masts and rigging partly gone.
Tuesday night at 6 o'clock the CITY
of Savannah was sighted and effort:
made to rescue those remaining OF
board. 1t was impossible, however, t.
do anything, owing to the tremendous
seas running. So the Birmingham laic
off shore until this morning, when witt
great difficulty the work of rescuinl
was accomplished.
Captain Finnie of the steamer Bessie
which arrived from Beaufort, St
Helena and Button half an hour be
fore the City of Birmingham, says tina
Beaufort was wrecked and that on tn,

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-12-28

The fact that the United States
government has annexed large slices
of valua BILE territory, such as Louisiana
and California, is no precedent for the
annexation of small monarchy way
out in the Pacific ocean with popu-
lation that it would be impossible to
make homogeneous, and extend to
them all the rights of sovereign states
of the American Union. Our former
annexations have been OF
contiguous territory, very sparsely
inhabited and with view to open
up new fields for actual settlement by
actual American citizens. 1t is true
Mr.. Stewards purchase of Alaska lie
an exception but Alaska at least was
part of the American continent nei'
Their does the fact that we have an
nexed territory justify the wrong that
Mr.. Stevens and his coconspirators did
the government of the Hawaiian is
lands.

ENAMELING TIE eATHTUB.

An Ingenious and simple Method of Max
ing an Old Zinc Tub Dainty.
The bathtub from which age and con-
slant use have worn away the bright
ness is the despair of the model house
wife, who wishes to have everything
about her home show traces of care on
the part of herself and her domestics.
How distressed she is when, after sew
eral Intellectual attempts to FURNISH up
the metal lining, the dull, worn look re-
mains, and the unwelcome truth bursts
upon her that its polishing days" are
over and there must in the future hover
about the tub the air of dinginess and
neglect!
To avoid this sort of trouble an in
genious idea is on the wing, which will
as time advances gain in favor. Who
does not admire the porcelain tubs in
which fortunes pampered proteges take
their daily dip? To those but lightly en-
dowed with worldly goods the posses
sion of one of these luxurious fancies
looks to be an utter impossibility. But
there is means by which the mother
and her brood may secure tub, which,
if it is not quite up to the mark in point
of quality, is certainly as daintily at
tractive in appearance as that of porce-
lain.
This is the enameled bathtub. When
the zinc or tin lining grows shabby, give
it coat of white paint. After this has
dried apply several thicknesses of white
enamel, waiting for each application to
dry before adding the next. In this way
thick enamel coating is laid upon the
metal, giving it the appearance when
completed of porcelain. The enameled
lined tub is not only very much daintier
in appearance, but can be kept in order
more easily than zinc or tin, a damp
cloth wiped across the surface being all
that is needed to retain the purity OF
coloring.
AS company for tub furnished up in
the foregoing manner treat in the same
way the woodwork of the bathroom,
Some faint hued enamel, pale blue, old
pink, violet, gray, cream or lemon, laid
upon the woodwork completes the deco
rative notion, while aesthetic conceptions
in pumpkin yellow, sage green or russell
brown contrast admirably with the
snowy lining of the tub.-Golden Days,

The Wind scraped the Mast Clean.

Captain Hurlbut of the British bark
Bowman B. Law considers himself for.
tunate in coming out of terrible ty-
phoon in the China seas, not without a
scratch, but without the loss of any OF
his crew or even of a spar or sail This
is his experience as he related 1t:
"We left Sourabaya, Java, bound for
the Columbia river. All went well for
the first week. The men put in their
time well about the ship, and one par
ticular job that was attended to was
painting the mizzentopmast. This was
wood, the other masts and topmasts
being iron. 1 NOTICED that the paint on
the spar blistered more or less under the
tropical sun.
zone fine afternoon, under a clear
sky, the storm came on us. There was
hardly any warning. The typhoon shot
out of the gulf of Siam as though it
came from cannon. What in the dis
lance was ripple on the surface of the
sea, as it approached us became feath-
cry, foam dashed mass of waves, and
the next instant the hurricane struck us.
All sail was slowed away, and we tore
ahead under bare poles at locomotive
speed. When the fury of the typhoon
abated, we found everything intact. The
mizzentopmast, however, was bare Of
paint. The wind had blown the blisters
off, and nothing remained but the un
covered wood"-Portland Oregonian.

who are depressed and poor, their
condition arising solely from their
consent to allow protective tariff, which
has grown into proportions beyond al
of then expectations? Fifty years ago
he farmer yielded voluntarily to the
requests of the manufacturers. Now
he yields only on compulsion. Ought
not common gratitude to induce the
manufacturer to relax his tentacles on
the throat of the farmer? You might
as well expect gratitude from the FAM
ishing wild beast that you had saved
from death by giving it water as
those selfish monopolists of govern
ment favor. They are still hungry.

TattoOod ROYALTY,

The Grand Duke Alexis right arm is
adorned with a dragon which covers it
almost entirely from the wrist to the
elbow. The new Duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha,is tattooed much the same way,
while the Duke of York has a couple of
crossed flags upon his forearm. King
George of Greece, his second son and his
nephew, the czarowitz, are each of them
tattooed. Besides these there are among
the tattooed princes Queen Marguerite
of Italy's brother, the Duke of Genoa,
Archduke Stephen Of Austria and Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor
William.
Princess Waldemar of Denmark, wife
of the sailor son of King Christian, has a
beautiful anchor and crown tattooed on
her arm, halfway between her shoulder
and her elbow, and which of course is
conspicuous whenever she wears low
dress. Her husband likewise has naval
emblems tattooed on his arm, and So
too, has King Oscar of Sweden, who
served for many years in the navy before
ascending the throne. His sons have
followed his example.-Boston Herald.

BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION.
REPORT THAT MELLo HAS CAPTURED
THE CITY OF RIO.
That the War Is Over and President Peixoto
Isa Prisoner in Mello's Hands-Report
Not Confirmed at Departments
or Consulate.

PERNAMRUCo, Dec. 22.-The most
startling and sensational rumors are in
circulation here. According to reports
reaching here from Rio today the in
surgent fleet, after two days desultory
fighting with the government troops,
made determined and successful at
tack upon Rio, which has lesuld in
the capture of that city. 1t is added
that Peixoto has resigned in favor Of
Mello, and that Peixoto is prisoner
in the hands of his enemies.
NOT CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-Neither the
state nor navy departments have re-
ceived news indicating the capture Of
Rio and the downfall of Peixoto. Al
the navy department the opinion /.
expressed that Captain Picking would
promptly notify the department ol
such occurrence. The government
here for some days have been inclined
to believe that Peixoto is losing ground
and that he was liable to meet serious
reverse in short time.
At the Brazilian legation it is stated
that no news has been received anc
rumors of Rios capture are doubted
Ordinarily the legation receives ad-
vices each day. Some delay apparently
has occurred in sending cable mes
sages to the legation here.
MINISTER NOT NOTIFIED.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Minister Men
donca, who was in the city, said today
that he had received telegram from
Rio this morning, but had no advice
to confirm the report of Mello'
triumph.

Germs In Milk.

Those fortunate people who have "their
own cow" have an extra care laid upon
them by their possession. Their milk
cans must be kept in an absolutely per-
feet condition.
They should be washed, scalded and
wiped perfectly dry after using. Then
they must be set out in the sun for IL
hours, or if that is impossible, put before
the fire. Just before they are used again
they should be washed, scalded and
dried again. There is nothing in which
germs develop so rapidly as in milk, and
extra care IS necessary to make sure that
the utensils contain no gernls.-New

Hints Of Plot 10 Kidnar the Presidents
Children.


Children.
ABILENE, Kan, Dec. 22.-Two let
tiers were picked up on the street here
Wednesday by country woman and
handed to the police. One letter is
from Topeka, dated Dec. 10, and soys:
1--WE have concluded to make two jobs
out of the White House business. We
will take the oldest child first. We
can get her all right. Mollie will get
her and hand her over to us, and we
will keep her until a reward is offered.
1t means thousands 20 us to get this
child Ruth, and we will get her, too,
in January. Address me in Chicago.
We will go right on"
The other letter was from Mime
apolis and was written prior to the one
already quoted. 1t said: I'VE have
everything ready for the White House
and will send Grover to hades when
the bugle sounds. We will also get
our $4,000 We will start for the
White House now. We have never
failed in any of our jobs and won't
now. There is much more in the
houses of the goldbugs and Wander
bilt'ss'
The letters bore evidence of SINGER
ity and the police consider them the
work of cranks. A queer acting in
dividual who was around the city the
early part of the week declaring that
he would soon be rich is supposed to
have been the recipient of the letters.
He has gone East and has not been
located.

Decidedly Unconventional.

Mrs. Angelina Allen is at it again.
Mrs. Allen is the young woman who
nearly threw Founder Bradley of Asbury
Park into fits last summer by appearing
on the beach in a bathing suit, in which
material was very scanty. She is now
riding around Newark, N. j., on BIZ
cycle, wearing pair of tight fitting cor
duroy breeches, patent leather shoes, a
zouave jacket, mans shirt, and posi-
bly, some other clothes not visible to the
general public. The natives watch for
her with bated breath, and her appear
ance is the signal for rush to all the
front windows along the street.-New-

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
3. g. Dun & Co. on the Condition Of the
Business Of the Country.

&. G.. Dun & Co. on the Condition Of the
Business Of the Country.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Dun's Weekly
Review says:
The year is practically over, except
holiday business, which is remarkably
we'll sustained as respects the number
OF sales, considering the state of in.
dustries, but is materially diminished
in volume because purchases average
much smaller value. Other business,
all branches included, appears from
clearinghouse returns % per cent less
than last year. But much is still done
at prices which return no profid,
merely to keep hands together, and
losses by numerous and heavy failures
have reduced profits where the volume
of transactions gives fair promise.
Changes during the past week have
not been cheering, but the minds OF
many are now turning to the new year
with hope of better things.
Speculation is torpid except in few
stocks and cotton, with scanty buying.
Wheat has changed a little in price.
Russian exports are beyond all prece'
dent and that country is selling at
ruinous prices because the producers
are obliged to realize. Corn has de-
clined 34, pork 70, lard 25. Wheat
9 lower than year ago, corn Is, pork
So 80, lard 50 60, hogs IL cent and cot
ton 9.
Friday cotton received little furry
but did not better much as receipts
from plantations continue greater
week by week. The failure of the
Crane Iron Company, with some 9TH
ers outweighed in. influence the re-
sumption of work by few iron works
and increased the depression at the
East. Over half the Connellsville coke
ovens are idle.
Reduction in b'eached cottons and
leading wide sheetings has been less
effective IN stimulating trade than ex-
pc cted. Wooden manufacture has
started three mills, but six have stop
ped and others are about to stop. Sales
of wool at the three chief markets was
$500, 900 pounds for the week against
100000 last year. Throughout the
wool trade is completely paralyzed.
Shoe manufacture is better, though
shipments from Boston show decrease
of "a per cent, while few new orders
come in.
The closing of theS Nicholas bank
caused no excitement. Foreign trade
still shrinhs, export for three weeks 10
per cent less than last year, and i'm
port at New York 20 per cent less.
Delayed treasury report in favor
of coming silver bullion Oh
hand, substitution of other issues for
government pnper currency, issues Of
bonds and tax on incomes derived from
corporations, attract not much atten-
ton Notwithstanding the abundance
of money the market is rather less con-
fident in feeling 1t is believed. how
ever, the usual pinch about Jan. will
not occur.
