THE 'DISREPUTABLE" OF CHICAGO.
Editor Stead Delivers a Very Start.
ling Address.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA Chicago dis
patch says William T. Stead made an ad-
dress at the Peoples Institute on the West
Side last night and abused everything Chi
cago possesses. from it's city council and
street car management TO its women.
His object was to show the seamy side
of life in this city, including the rich men
who rob right and left. and the women
who sell their bodies in order to get bread.
He took fling at the city council, de-
nouncing 1t as being composed in the main
of men who came from the very lowest
elements in the city, and said the idea of
such men legislating for such a great city
as Chicago was absurd. He intimated that
many Of the members Of the city council
were little better than thieves. and was lib
orally applauded for the sentiment.
The wealthy society woman, who thinks
only of herself and neglects her hungry
and down-trodden sisters, came in for her
share of attention.
The speaker drew two PICTURESQUE of the
woman rolling in wealth, who. because of
her social position and her fear of losing 1t,
kept herself free from faint, and the poor
woman, who, harassed by want and pow
erty, threw herself into the gutter to get
bread to keep her from starving. .s
Mr.. Stead did not think the society wo-
man was any better in soul than her weak
er sister, who, however pure in heart she
might be. was compelled by force of cir
cumstances to abandon moral life
Stead's words in discussing this phase of
life were so broad that most Of the women
in the audience blushed with shame, and
some of them left the hall.
His subject was who Are the Disrep-
utable?" and his idea was that women
need not be immoral to be foul-minded and
hence disreputable.

A Number of Italians Killed by Insur-
gent Shells.

A Number of Italians Killed by Insur-
gent Shells.
LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch from Bue-
nos Ayres dated yesterday says that ad-
vices from Rio Jareiro reached there show
ing that rumors are current in the Brazilian
capital that many members of the National
Guard are deserving and going over to the
insurgents.
Several persons. including a number of
Italians, have been killed by shells fired by
the insurgents into the middle of the city.
The friends of the Italians killed have de-
manded that the government pay an indem-
nifty for their deaths. The government has
informed the foreign residents that 1t will
not accept any liability.
The government forts are bombarding the
insurgent store houses on Enchados Island.
President Peixoto's fleet is reported to
have left Pernambuco for Rio Janeiro.
The insurgents have received fresh provi-
sions, and now have large supplies
lnsurgent vessels are blOckading Santos.
The clergy generally are said to favor the
insurgents.
Ombardment at Rio Janeiro.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Heralds Mon
tevideo. Uruguay. special says: The Her
AIDS correspondent in Rio Janeiro sends
word under date of January 10 that shells
from Cobras Island were dropped in several
parts OF the city winch We're tnlckly pOpu-
lated. Many Italians were killed.
1t is now reported that President Peix-
otos fleet left Pernambuco January and
will rendezvous close to Rio and will then
enter the bay.
Admiral Mello has said he is confident the
Aquidaban can defeat Peixoto's combined
fleet.
Startling Developments Expected Soon
Official news from Rio has been received
from Minister Thompson and Admiral Ben
ham within the last few days. but will not
be made public for the present. 1t is said
that there have been no important changes
in the situation lately, but startling devel-
opments may soon be looked for.
The recent admission of Admiral da Ga
ma regarding the possible length of time
which the insurgents in the bay of Rio can
hold out under existing conditions are con-
firmed by advices received at the Brazilian
legation. These advices state that da Ga
mas position is more critical than he ad-
mits. His forces are without fresh water,
and their food supply is also said to be
growing quite limited. 1t is conceded that
if the insurgents gained foothold in Mic
theory, their, position would be greatly i'm
proved, but the probable of their affect
ing a landing becomes more remote every
day.
Minister Mendonca has been informed
that the five torpedo boats which sailed
frCm Germany some time since touched at
the Canary Islands eight days ago, and
should arrive at PerrembucO within a day
or two at furthest. Making all allowance
for accidents and slow sailing, the minis
ter believes the govern ment vessels should
all reach the rendezvous by the last of the
month, and that by the 9Th of February a
decisive move will be made against Da
Cana at Rio should he be able to hold out
until then.
An intimation is made that important
changes of interest to tie United States
may occur at Rio one result Of the out
break Of the revolution.

dam, January 4. which arrived this morn
ing. lost her chief officer. ]. Meyer, and five
men by the capsizing of her port life boat.
while proceeding to the assistance of the
crew Of the American fishing schooner
Maggie E. Well, which was in a sinking
condition
The names of the heroic men who thus
risked their lives and lost them are: Chief
Officer J. Meyer. aged twenty-eight years;
Second Boatswain E. ReQuart, Carpenter A.
j. Oudyn, Steerage Stewart A. Boss, Quar-
termaster F. G. Eichorn and Seaman A.
Van Wecht.
Seaman A. Vanderbilt was also in the
boat, but being a master of the art Of
swimming, was saved.
The Captains Story.
The captains story is as follows:
January IA, latitude 1921, longitude IS. 49,
at about IL am, during strong northwest
breeze and moderate high sea, perceived
a fishing schooner south Of us showing the
American flag, union down, at half mast
We made for the schooner and saw that the
sea was washing constantly over her, and
that only by hard pumping the ship was
kept af1oat. The crew of fourteen signaled
US by gestures that the vessel was in q
sinking condition and that they were anx-
ious to leave her, showing at the same
time by throwing overheard pieces Of their
boats that had been wrecked. / called my
crew on deck and told them the position In
which the schooner was.
Immediately the first officer and six of
our crew offered themselves to man q boat
and to go to their rescue. At about II
O'Clock noon the boat, No. 4, left our
steamer and everything went all right I'M
I'll In the vicinity of the wreck when a
sudden snow-squall capsized the boat, with
the fatal result that three of the crew dis
appeared Immediately, and the remaining
four succeeded in taking hold of the cap
sized boat. 1 went at once to their assist
ance and succeeded in getting the capsized
boat alongside, but 1t appeared that the
remaining four men were thoroughly ex-
hausted by the cold and in consequence
not able to take hold of the life-saving ap-
paratus which was given to them, and
were drowned, with the exception Of one
sailor, who by his extraordinary presence
of mind and calm behavior got hold of a
rope and was taken on board.
Another crew presented themselves to
man second boat, but owing to the in
creasing wind and sea 1 objected and con-
cluded to wait for better and a calm sea
We Kept In the vicinity of the wreck until
y O'Clock when in a heavy snow-squall we
lost sight of her, and although we searched
TWO hours. We were not able to find any
trace OF the wreck. and proceeded. The
wreck appeared to be the American
schooner Maggie E. Wells. l could not read
the full name"
Undoubtedly the Maggie f. Wells.
The Inflated schooner reported by the
steamer Amsterdam, is undoubtedly the
Maggie E. Wells of the Gloucester fishing
fleet. She is eighty-five tons register and
was built in 1880 at Essex, Mass, and is
owned at Gloucester, Mass.

The LiEht-Weight Champion Out.
points Jim Ryan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.-Jack Nc
Auliffe. lightweight champion Of the world
and Jim Ryan, a well-knOwn Australian
middle-weight, met in a six-round bout
last night, which ended very suspiciously.
The immense builcing was filled by a
crowd which reminded old ring goers of
the days when the old California Club was
at the height of it's prosperity.
The silk hat element was out in force,
and judges, lawyers and professional men
were literally sprinkled through the aud
fence. Rumors of fake were thick just
prior to the fight, and the betting certainly
seemed to warrant suspicious, 1t having
suddenly dropped from nearly even money
to four to one on McAuliffe. The sixth
round closed with Ryan on the retreat, and
the referee promptly gave the decision to
McAuliffe.
There seems to be no doubt that Ryan
threw the fight, for his reversal of form
was plain to every one. McAuiffe hardly
showed up in his old form, though this may
be accounted for by his poor condition, he
only having had two weeks training.

4 Communication.

Editors OF the EenRebec journal.
In justice to myself will you allow me u
Gay, from my sick bed, a word in relation
to catch basins. Several years ago, at my
earnest solicitation and with the advice Of
the modern and only safe form of catch
basin, one with water seal at the bottom.
Sine that time no catch basin has ever
been put in to new sewer of any other
pattern, either the present year CT any pre-.
vious year. Some of the sewers this year
have been built under the superb ion OF
the committee on sewers ard l know moth
ing about them, except what the committee
reported to me after they were done, but l
have examined and approved every catch
basin and know that they are constructed
on the same plan, well and thoroughly.
The only comment had to make was that
few of the top gratings were four to six
inches too high to take care of street drain
age; but Trick mason could remedy that
in half an hour at any time.
There was catch basin put into an old
sewer at the corner of Bridge and Water
streets. which have been told is of an old
iron clapper pattern, long ago discarded ~
little or no protection against gas. At the
corner Of Chapel street and Western ave-,
there was an oil drsin running into the
Western avenue sewer. tried to contrive
way to trap it, but the Western avenue
sewer was 20 high that it was impossible,
the sidewalk forming the top of the sewer.
