.I24 DROWNED At SBA.
The Steamer Wairaipa Wrecked On
Great Barrier Island
OFF THE COAST OF NEW ZEALAND.
The Steamer Was Bound From
Auckland to Sydney, New
South Wales, and Carried Many
Passengers-The Number Res
cued Not Positively Known.

SYDNEY, N. s. W., October 51.-The
Union line steamer Wsiraipa, bound
from this port for Auckland, n. H., was
wrecked Sunday night on Great Barrier
Island, of the northeast coast Of New
Zealand. The steamer had a large
number Of passengers and one hundred
and twenty-four persons were drowned.
The number Of the saved is not posi-
lively known, but among the rescued
are some of the passengers.
The night was very dark and the Of
fcers, aud lookout on the steamer were
ignorant Of the proximity of land until
the steamer struck on the rocks. Cap
tain Mcintosh, the master, was on the
bridge at the time. He, together with
most Of the crew, was lost.
THE SEA WAS ROUGH
when the steamer went aground. At
tempts were made to lower some of the
boats, bat several of these were either
smashed by being thrown by the sea
against the eide of the steamer before
the falls were cast off, or were
capsized before they could be
laid head-on to the sea- Everybody in
the boats perished. Those remaining on
board refused TO attempt TO escape this
way. In the meantime, the people on
shore had gone to the assistance of the
shipwrecksd people. The steamer had
TWO OR THREE LIFE RATS
and these were thrown overheard, but
attached 10 the vessel by stout lines.
Then some Of the passengers scrambled
down the side by the aid Of ropes
and dropped upon the RATS, which
were then cut loose. They driited rap
idly in shore and the people on them
were taken off when they came in reach
by men who went out in the water as
far IS possible to meet them. A line
was finally thrown across the
steamer and the brooches buoy risGed.
A number of lives were saved by this
means. Although Ill Of the passengers
and % of the crew were drowned. The
survivors have arrived at Auckland.

HARRISON IN NEW YORK.
The Ex-President Delivers an Address In
the Interest of Morton.

! NEW YORK, October ELK Presi-
dent Harrison spoke at Carnegie Music
Hall this evening. The meeting was
held under the auspices OF the
Republican State Committee TO
ratiiy the nomination OF Nor
ton and Saxton. When the
doors were opened at Z o'clock the
street was crowded. When six thou
sand persons were packed into the hall
by all sorts of means, there were
still many thousands outside seeking
admittance As the band concluded a
familiar air, two gentlemen in clerical
attire were ushered across the platform.
Some OF those in the hall recognized one
OF them as Archbishop Ireland, OF ST.
Paul. His com Danlon was Bishop Nc
GojGrlck, of Duluth.
II was $50 before Mr.. Harrison and
MIR. Morton put in an appearance.
Their arrival was signalized by
great outburst of enthusiasm. The
people stood up, waved flags, hats and
handkerchiefs and cheered until they
grew hoarse. After some prelimiusries
Mr.. Morton was introduced as president
Of the meeting.
Mr.. Harrison said: thought | had

believe the candidate OF the Republi-

gether worthy OF the support OF his feI-
low citizens and altogether qualified for
the highest exercise OF the high duties
OF Governor in this great State.
Our government at Washington has
now q more important relation 10 the
business of the country than ever be-
fore. In the oIdsn days when our money
was furnished by State banking insti-
tutions, and whom our interstate com
merce was left to regulate itself or with
out regulation, we did not so much hp-
preciate tue important touch which the
national government has upon the bus
ness affairs Of the country. Now all OF
our money is Issued from Washington.
Now the regulation OF these interstate
railroads has been assumed by Congress.

DEMOCRATS | BE FIRM IN THE
FAITH.

You all remember the business
paralysis OccasiOned by the iniquitous
Mckinley Tariff and the just rebuke
Overwl e'mingIy administered the
Republican party al tine two elections
following its adoption The Wilson
Tariff has been law but two months.
The evidences Of increasing prosper
ity are daily becoming more ccnspic-
uOus, and promises to surpass in
volume Of business that Of any pre-.
Ceding era. Factories and workshops
are raslming operations all around
us. Do not now lose confidence in
the Democratic promise of beneficial
results to foIIsW the adoption OF a
reform tariff.
A vote for Republ can success is a
vote toward a return to the former
high tariff, and COnsequen. unsettled
commercial CtniitiOnS and bus ness
depression.
Democrats and refOrmers,
Do not Ia'Ier.
Do your whole duty toward the
cause Of Tariff Reform.
Be firm in the Iaith that is in you.

world. Tremendous applause. De-
feat me for that il you will, and you
will regret IL as long as you live. Re-
newed applause aud cheering. l don't
believe that you will tolerate that un-
Christian, uu.American spirit. 1t will
not do for them to say that they are not
using that weapon against me. Why,
then, did their party organ, on the
day following my nomination at
Clarksburg, say that l was guilty Of the
crime OF being Catholic? Take that
copy OF the Intelugenccr, and you will
find il there. Take the man who stood
on the Republican platform making
speeches for my opponent follow him
into the interior of the district, and you
will fad him instillnE poison into the
minds OF the voters. My Workingmen
friends. those with whom have been
associated in the factory, whene your
wages were at stake, the farthest con
fAes OF these United States were not too
remote for me 10 go in your behalf;
and whe youn called on me
for g share OF my salary, 1 did not ask
whether you we're Methodist, or Pres
byteriAn, or Catholic, and now You have
no right 10 ask me what my religion is.
Enthusiastic and prolonged applause.
A voice-'All we want 10 know is that

ing.
Mr.. Howard concluded by promising
IL sent to Congress- TO be guided by the
principles OF the Democratic party. He
closed amid the most remarkable dis
play Of enthusiasm witnessed al any
political meeting in this CITY during the
campaign.
1t WAS then half-psst ten o'clock and
the rink was still filled with people who
were anxious TO hear more Democratic
truths. There were calls for "Arnett,"
in response TO which the Colonel came
forward and delivered characteristic
ten minutes address He was followed
by Julius Pollock, ESQ, who was warm
ly spplauded and made brief but excel
lent address The meeting closed with
three mighty cheers for Howard and
three more for the county ticket

contract with the Republican state
Central Committee to print campaign
matter, was made permanent. The
power Of the court, the committees at

there was no justification for the breach

The contract had been entered into

WASHINGTON, d. O., October 81
In commenting to-day on q .stement
made by Chairman Babcock, Of the Re-
publican Campaign Committee, In
which Bahcock claims everything in
sight Senator Faulkner offered to
wager that Babcock could not look him
10 the eve, and without laughing, make
the claim he made In talking to
the reporter who wtots the Interview.
The Senator said the Republican CAIN
paign from the start had been based on
the assumption that there was TO be a
Republican landslide this year. They
knew nothing short Of such a landslide
could overcome the present big Demo
cratic majority I'm the House, and TO
keep Lp the courage OF the Republican
rank and die, 10 was essential that the
landslide theory should be adopted
10 the end. But the Senator said
be defed any man who wishes TO be
taEen seriously 90 point out region OF
the country where che Democrats were
likely % lose Congressional seats by
wholesale. or course they expected 20
lose seats here and there 10 the North
aud East, but in the South and West
they would hold their own and might
make a few gains. There was absolute
~ nothing 70 Indicate that the
Democrats stood n danger OF serious
losses 10 these sections, and he felt un-
disturbed confidence that they would
control the next House. He was not
vet ready 10 20 into details as 70 the
number Of districts they would carry,
but the majority in the oeXt House
would be safe. That the senator feels
the confidence he expresses 20 one who
talks 10 him can fail 70 discover
