WRECK OF THE A. c. BEAN.
Arrival of the Two Swedish Sailors who
Are the Only Survivors of the Inflated
Craft-Their Thrilling Experience.

Are the Only Survivors of the Inflated
Craft-Their Thrilling Experience.
Two Swedish sailors, William Holstrom
and Adolph Tornos, arrived at this port
yesterday on the steamer Labrador. They
are the sole survivors of the crew of ten
that manned the vessel A. C. Bean, which
was lost on the northern coast of Ireland
in the storm of the 18th of November.
They are rosy checked young Scandina-
VANS, speaking the English language i'm
perfectly, and very happy over their mar
row escape. The elder has been ship
wrecked twice before, but the disaster to
the Bean surpasses all his other expert
ences.
No finer crew ever manned vessel
than were in the bean, and although they
had very stormy passage over the ves-
sci approached the northern coast of Ire
land in splendid trim, and with happy
prospects of soon reaching port.
But on the 10th the memorable storm
struck them. A relentless hurricane
blew from the northwest. driving the
vessel directly towards one of the most
dangerous, rock-bound coasts in the
world. The tide assisted the wind. and
as Captain Taylor, of the Indrani, has
already reported, no staunchness and no
seamanship could have saved the Inflated
vessel.
1t was about o'clock in the morning
of the 18th that the crisis came. The
vessel struck on rock or reef. 1t was
tremendous and deadly blow, but did not
at once crush the nobleI ship. Then
there was another, more fearful shock,
and the tall masts began to snap and fall.
A third shock, and the craft was help
less, mutilated wreck, threshing against
the Lodges, bursting open to let the cargo
float away, and literally falling away
from under the feet of captain and crew.
As soon as the masts began to go, every
man was for himself Holmstrom remem-
bers that about this time he saw Captain
Mountfort standing in the companion
way. It was the last either of the Swedes
saw of him. Neither of them saw Mate
Armstrong or Cook Drake. The two
Swedes, with another seaman, named
johnson, clutched a small piece of the
poop which formed for them raft hard
ly more than ten feet square. Upon this
they drifted towards the shore. The sea
was tremendously high, and the frail raft
with the three sailors clinging to it was
dashed about like chip. Half way to
the shore, a wave tossed it up, turning 1T
completely over. Holmstrom and Tornos
happened to be clinging to the upper
most edge, while johnson was clutching
the opposite one. The turning over
threw johnson underneath, and he was
seen no more. The two survivors drift
ed rapidly shoreward, and in few min
utes their raft was tossed between two
rocks, whence they could struggle ashore.
Holmstrom looked up the beach and saw
it white with snow, as he supposed; but
as he ran out of the roaring sea he found
that the whiteness was that of thick
layer of foam. Both men were much
exhausted.
A single body came ashore in the
wreckage, that of Charles Gustavson, a
Swedish sailor. Two days after the
wreck, the wind shifted to off shore, and
it is supposed that any other bodies were
taken seaward.

The Captain of the Billow Disabled

The schooner Billow, Capt. Beale,
Rockland for Boston with lime, was one
of the vessels caught out in Sundays
storm. The tug Warren found the Bill
low anchored off the Cape yesterday,
badly iced up and the captain disabled.
A block. had fallen and struck him on
the right side of the head, badly bruis-
ing the face and eye. The Warren towed
the Billow into the harbor.

Young Bangor Burglar Brought Here.

State Detective George W. Harmon, of
Bangor, was in the city yesterday. He
had brought young Adelmer H. Simonds,
of the town of Glendon to the Reform
School.
Young Simonds is the sixteen-year-old
youth who has committed a series of
bold burglaries that would do credit to
an old crook. After the family had
gone to bed he would steal out of the
house, and either on horseback or afoot,
would go four or five miles to some
grocery store. There he would make a
break and take what he wanted His
plumber he concealed in the barn,
and in a big hollow log in the
woods. Like Samson he was betrayed
by woman. He could not resist the
temptation to bestow upon young
Glendon lass an harmonica and some
candy. These presents she displayed,
and thus created an inquiry which gave
detective Hartman his clue.

Schooner Stephen Morgan in a Hard Place
The schooner Stephen Morgan of Bos-
ton, Captain Mehaffey, with paving
stones from Sullivan for New York, was
towed into this port yesterday afternoon
by the tug Demarest, badly iced up and
with loss of mainsail and spanker. The
Morgan was off this port Sunday morn
ing, and tried to getiu. but the wind be-
ing northeast and showing hard, she was
obliged to give it up, and about 5 o'clock
Sunday afternaen anchored between
Staten and Richmond islands. The wind
then changed to the southeast and made
very heavy sea, which broke over the
vessel and caused her to ice up badly.
The rudder gear was damaged slightly
by the heavy sea. The captain, fearing
the vessel would be blown on shore, set
a signal of distress, which was respond
ed to by Captain Trundy, of the Cape
Elizabeth life saving station, early yes
terday morning. Captain Trundy tele-
phoned to the city for tug, and the
Demerest went out and towed the
schooner in yesterday afternoon. The
schooner is owned by Captain Mehaffey
and others of Boston. She will proba-
bly, receive new suit of sails and pro-
coed in afew days.
The Appraisership.
There seems likely to be new ap-
praiser in the4v Portland custom house
soon. The termod ths present incum-
bent expires on the Esd. The applicants
for the place are Alderman George Toll
man, of this city, j. S. Lyford, of Au-
burn, A. S, Kimball and G. E. Holt, of
Norway. The Lewiston Journal also
mentions Hon. M. P. Frank. but that is
an error. Mr.. Frank wants the collector

OUR DEBT TO HOLLAND.
DR.. BIanchard's Lecture Before the
Woman's Literary Union.

A most pleasing musicale preceded
Rev. DR.. Blanchard's lecture Monday
afternoon, when the Cosmopolitan Club
entertained the Woman's Literary Union
in Gospel Mission hall. The trio for two
violins and piano was brilliantly
executed by Messrs Carter, Cousins and
Humphreys. Miss Jordan, who has
rich contralto voice of great volume,
sang "a Serenade" in her most sym
pathetic manner. Mr.. Brooks of Boston
delighted the audience with two baritone
songs. Miss Pearson was accompanist.
DIR. Blanchard first gave an account of
Holland and England in the reign of
Elizabeth = 155s-16O3 - and showed that
while England had poverty, rndeness,
immortality, Holland led Western Europe
in agriculture, manufactures, commerce.
education, art, freedom and religion.
He then enumerated eighteen things
received from Holland by America:
Her written constitution.
1.-The limitations of the power of
the President, by the consent of the
Senate, in making war and declaring
peace.
III-The Senate.
IV-The freedom of religious opinion.
V-The freedom of the press.
vI-The wide suffrage.
VII-The written ballot.
VIII-Free schools.
IX-Independence of the judiciary.
A-Ihe absence of primogeniture.
XI-The liability of land for debt.
AIl-The recording of deeds and mort
cages.
XIII-The township system.
XIV-The district attorney.
XV-The right of the accused to i'm
partial trial.
XVI-The improvement of the condi-
ton of women.
XVII-The improvement of the penal
system.
XVIII-The organization of charitable
and reformatory work.
He closed by showing how the colon
les of New York. Plymouth, Massachu-
setts Bay bought Holland ideas across
the seas.

CLEVELAMD'S WAYS.

1t is little wonder that there is talk of a
rupture in the Cleveland cabinet. The
members could be scarcely more than
wooden men if they didn't give out some
sign of protest against the brow-beating
methods of the president. But if any
ody quits, according to our thinking, it
should be Carlisle and Gresham; compared
with this pair Smith and Morton have
had smooth sailing. 1t is little scheme
of the presidents to push forward his
secretaries and by and through them feel
of the public pulse. He did it with
Carlisle, when the silver fight was on and
repeatedly had that member of his official
family in a very uncomfortable position
He has done the same thing with Gresham
in the Hawaiian affair and the brunt Of
the whole mistake has fallen heavily upor
Gresham while the president remains il
the back ground. In the two instances
cited the presidents treatment has beer
little less than brutal, and if anybody
resigns, mark the prophesy, it will not b'
Smith and Morton, but more likel,
| Carlisle and Gresham.

and aided in his election; but even the
Record has become disguised with the
administration and hauls the administra-
tons Hawaiian policy over the Goals in
the following refreshing, terse and vigor-
Gus style:
Since the administration at Washington
has solemnly set to work to destroy
young republic and restore to her throne
a worthless and infamous queen, it is we'll
for the people of the United States to
realize the enormity of the deed that has
been plotted in secret at Washington and
carried out by stealth through its agents
in Honolulu.
The facts are not yet known. Con-
gress is not in session, and therefore can
not call for them. The awful rubbish of
Secretary Gresham's letter to the presi-
dent stands merely as the views of a
cabinet officer with but the public ap-
prevail of the president. Minister Willis,
in Honolulu, very likely has already over
turned the provisional government, an
act which would be quite as outrageous
as would be the overthrow of any other
peaceful and friendly foreign government.
The citizens of the United States must
wait for the facts until the next steamer
arrives at San Francisco from the Fla
waiian islands. In the meantime quiet
and prosperous country may have seen
bloodshed because of the infatuation Of
the administration at Washington with
the idea that the queen, if she had been
permitted to maltreat her subject to her
hearts content, would have been able to
keep them submissive in one way or
another. .
Is it, then, so grave an offense for the
freedom-loving people of foreign coun-
try to turn for sympathy to the govern
ment of the United States? Must such
people be whipped back into their bonds
by this greatest of republics? This is not
the reputation which the nation has
borne in the past. If the provisional
government of Hawaii is not to receive
American support, that is one thing. 1t
is quite another thing for Secretary
Gresham to recommending an exasper-
atingly ambiguous wfy - that the
United States overthrow this universally
recognized government and restore to
power Lilioku'ani, defler of the Ha-
waiian constitution and enemy of her
country.
1t is an amazing, cruel, hateful position
which the administration has taken. Its
talk of "force and fraud" is melodramatic
bosh. Its course savors of trickery and
of contempt for public opinion in Ameri-
ca. 1t is an insolent denial o. the truth
on which this nation was founded, that a
people have the right to overthrow a
tyrant and rule themselves.

For once, let it 60 on record, the ad'
ministration has done the right thing al
the right time. Mr. Lamont has the live
lest head of all of them and he showed il
when he wired Gen. McCook to assume
control of the work of suppressing the
troubles now prevalent along the Mex.
lean border. Departmental interference
with matters they can have very little
knowledge of Is the frequent cause Of
blunder. If the other departments could
be induced to follow Sec. Lamont's ex
ample the country would do better off.

THOUGHTS AND AFrERTHouaHTS

She dashes down the woodland way
Swift as darting hawk,
For Betty runs, grieve to say,
When others trip or walk.
Around her blackbirds chirp and swing
And flutter up and down,
But blacker than each jetty wing
Nay, Betty's hair is brown.
She kneels where grow the violets shy
Amid ground ivy vines,
By pools that glass the summer sky
That blue above them shines.
Blue is the veil Of smoke that dwells
Above the farof town,
And blue as morning glory bells
Nay, Bettys eyes are brown.
Where roses droop above the walks
In gardens Overgrown,
And sweetbriers bend their graceful stalks
She moves, queen, alone.
There, drunken with their own perfume,
Pink petals browse and drown,
But pinker than the roses bloom
Nay, Bettys cheeks are brown.
Sho calls the cattle from the hills
Down to the farmyard gate,
And while the wooden pail she fills
watch her as wait.
All, whittier than the dashing milk
That flecks with foam her gown
Nay, Betty's hands are soft as silk,
But Betty's hands are brown.
Not mine the woods wherein she strays
The garden wild, not mine;
Nor mine the meadows wide whore Craze
Those fortune favored kline.
But mine dearer prize for aye
Than cen kingly crown
Nay, Betty goes to church today
To wed man named Brown!
