THEY DIDN'T Do A THING.
The Sailors on the Nanshan Tell
Their Story.
Interpreter Doyle Runs Up Against n
Cold WaVe-He Objects to Being
Tried for Contempt OF Court.

The most interesting incident
connected with yesterdays session
of the naval court of inquiry, on
board of the Japanese steamer
Nanshan, was the retirement of c..
A. Doyle as interpreter. Doyle
arrived on board yesterday morn
ing about fifteen minutes late and
found the members of the board in
a very displeased frame of mind.
He offered an excuse of some kind,
which was received in very chill
ing manner; in fact the officers of
the court looked as cold and as
blank as a banker does when a
man wants to make a touch for q
hundred on a worthless note. Mr..
Doyle felt the cold atmosphere and
commenced to button his coat
about him, but the next moment
he was thrown in a fever heat by
hearing a request for the saloon to
be cleared of all outsiders but him
self. He realized that he would
have to answer for contempt of
court and visions of boiling oil"
or some other japanese punish
ment foated before his eyes. He
was not punished, however, and
quit his job, remarking ''you can
get some other Irishman to inter-
pref for you"
Another interpreter was secured
and the trial was resumed. Sew
eral of the defendants were exam
ined and the manner in which
they "spieled" out their stories
even forced smile Of incredulity
on the face of their own attorney.
According to their side, they are
very much injured men-as sailors
always claim to be when hauled up
for disobeying the laws of the high
seas.
One defendant was so innocent
that he was not aware of any
trouble until he was told of it by
his shipmates another knew some
thing about fight, but he placed
the guilt on some one else, and so
it ran. Yasuda, the original cause
of the trouble, did not do thing,
and he denied that the captain
was assaulted in the forecastle. He
explained how the ship ran out of
her course, and claimed it was an
error on his part.
The hearing will probably be
concluded today.

The wool is consigned to Brewer Il
Co., Boston, and will be via Cana
dian Pacific Railway. Gay and
Robinson are the shippers.
On Thursday last three prisoners
who were employed on the Mail
wharf brushing up refuse, managed
to brush up against a broken case
OF saki, and as a result they be-
came gloriously drunk. AS pun
ishment they have been removed
from the sacred precincts of the
water front and are now engaged in
breaking rock.
According to official statements
there were added to the French re-
g;ster in the first six months of the
present year II steamers, of 9,646
tons gross, and 439 sailing ships,
measuring 5,465 tons, which were
built in France, and "a steamers,
of 1899 tons gross, and 50 sailing
ships, measuring 9,22S tons, built
in foreign yards.
The loss of a blade or so of the
propeller of big ocean steamer
nowadays does not apparently give
the vessel great deal of inconven-
fence. At any rate it is only Incl
dentally mentioned on arrival in
port, or perhaps it is not spoken of
at all. There was a time not so
very long ago, when an occurrence
of this kind would have had par
ticular mention and considerable
space would have been given to the
subject by the daily press. The
loss of propeller blades is not now
so frequent as it used to be. And
in the event of its happening it
means little more than a slightly
delayed passage. The triumph of
modern ship-building over many of
the terrors of old ocean is marked
and it is to be hoped it may contin-
ually progress.-EX.

THE DEAD PATRIOT.
Preparations for the Funeral of
KOSsuth

Kossutfl.
TURIN, March 2l.-The papers left by
Kossuth were carefully examined today
by his two sons and his Intimate friends
here. No will was found. The munic-
ipal authorities have placed themselves
entirely atthe disposal of the Kossuth
family for the funeral of the dis
tinguished patriot. The authorities ex-
pressed the desire that the remains
should be buried in the Pantheon, in
which many of the illustrious dead of
Italy have their last resting place. But
the family has decided to remove the
remains to Hungary, and. together with
the remains of his wife and daughter,
which are inferred in the English ceme-
terry at Genoa, they will be escorted to
Buda Pesth, where it is expected they
will be given public funeral.
The remains will be kept here until
the bodies OF his wife and daughter are
eXhumed. and all the preparations for
the funeral in Hungary have been com.
Dleted. The dead mans SONS will ac-
company the bodies to Buda PeSth, A
cast OF Kossuth's face was taken today
anu Tie D0uy was tnen emDalmed. Manv
messages OF sympathy have reached the
family. They are coming from all parts
of Europe, as we'll as from America.
A guard of honor from an early hour
this morning has been drawn up in
front of the house where the remains
of KOsSuth are resting. During the
day the syndic of Turin visited the
house and consoled with the members
of the Kossuth family. Later the syn
die, on behalf of the municipal author
tiles of Turin, sent message of SYM
pathy to the municipal authorities of
Buda Pesth.

Ell PAso, Tex, March 21.-Gen.
Lewis G. Frye was arrested this morn
ing by order of Mayor Solomon and
thrown in Jail on the charge, of va
grancy. Railroad messages say the Los
Angeles regiment of unemployed is
gathering strength as it comes, and
The mayor today issued proclamation
calling meeting of citizens this even
ing to ''organize to prevent this horde"
as he calls the industrial army, from in
vading Ell PasO. There are said to be
between nine hundred and thousand
men in the army. The largest hall in
the city was filled this evening by citi.
zeDs who met to consider the industrial
army. Juan S. Hart, editor of the
Times, presided, and asked that the
men be treated in a human manner. 1t
was decided that the tramps be fed and
sent forward. and a subscription for that
purpose was taken up.
In reply to telegram asking that the
war department be requested to order
the troops at Fort Bliss to assist in re-
pelIing the threatened invasion Gov.
Hogg wired: You are assured that
Texas is fully able to arrest, prosecute
and punish Gen. Frye and his whole in
dustrial army, if they rob or plunder
your people or otherwise violate the
penal code and she will not call on the
federal government Tor troops to aid in
the work"
Gen. Frye was taken before Judge
Hunter OH a writ of habeas corpus
which was dismissed. Then, for lack
of authority, the recorder dismissed the
charge OF vagrancy against him. He
addressed the crowd from the plaza.

OMAHA. March 81. - The blizzard
which developed in the northwestern
part of the state last night is moving
slowly but steadily toward the Missouri
river. Its progress is marked by drifts
from six inches to two feet deep, and a
general blockade of business. Dis
pacheS that were received from points
in the interior of the state indicate that
the storm has travelled eastward abOu.
one hundred fifty miles in twenty -four
hours. At North Platte. Neb., the drifts
are from two to four feet deep. The
Union Pacific line is completely block
AIDED. All trains are abandoned and
number are reported blockaded between
stations. Snow plowS are out, and eff
forts are being made to clear the tracks.
Kearney, Hyannis. Elsie. McCook and
other points report snow deep and
drifting badly. 1t is not very cold. but
the mercury is below the freezing point,
ranging from s to 20 deg above. The
BurlIngtOn's lines in the western and
northern part of the state and in the
Black Hills are badly blocked. A mes
sage from Buffalo, Wyo., says: The
storm in this section has assumed the
proportions of one of the worst bliZ-
yards in the history Of this state. 1t is
feared that the ranges will be covered
with cattle suecumbing to the exposure
of the blizzard. and sheep-owners are al
most in despair. The recent warm wealth
er makes this visitation all the worse
Telegraph wires are about useless.
There are rUmors Of death by exposure
to the blizzard. but these cannot be
verified, as it is now impossible to take
any action to find out the truth. One
cattle man belonging to ranch eleven
miles north of Douglass rode into town
last night and reported having been
separated from companion in the bliz-
zard when the strength of the other man
had been exhausted. Reports from the
BeighbOring ranches, meageriy as they
come in, indicate that the property loss
will be great Thousands of cattle
are known to be off their
usual winter quarters. and away
from shelter of any kind. 1t will be
impossible to save these from almost
total destruc tlon unless the blizzard
breaks by noon. Similar reports are
received from all over the stock ranges.
The farmers in the central part of Ne
braska welcome the SNOW, as the ground
has been too hard in many places to
work. There will be but little damage
to, winter wheat, as the snow is deep
enough to prevent the ground from
freezing. At midnight the mercury at
this point is falling rapidly. This ill.,

SANTANDER. March 21.-Another
fatal accident occurred here today.
caused by an explosion of dynamite.
Ever since the awful disaster that oc-
CURED in this city on the night of Nov
last, when the Spanish steamer Caho
Machichaco was blown up by the ex-
plosion OF part of the large conslgn.
ment of dynamite aboard of her, the
wrecked hull of the vessel has been
lying at the bottom of the bay. 1t was
discovered by divers who went down in
search of the bodies OF some of those
who were killed at that time, that a
considerable quantity of dynamite was
still IN the wreck. This was considered
to be menace to shipping, and the
authorities determined to have it re-
moved. Today while number of men
were engaged in the work of taking the
dynamite out of the hull all explosion
occurred, and several of the wOrkmen
were killed.
The:loss of life occasioned by the dis
aster last November has never been ac-
curately ascertained. 1t is known, how
ever. that the list of dead, missing and
wounded numbered fully thousand

which consisted of general mercban-
disc, including iron ore, flour, wine and
petroleum in cases. While this work
was going on the steamer took fire, and
the blaze attracted large crowds to the
water front. Officers and men from
vessels lying near the Cabo Machlchaco
went to the assistance of the tiremen
who had been hastily summoned. Sud-
denly there was a deafening roar and
the steamer disappeared. The slaugh-
ter among the spectators was frightful.
Houses along the water front were
either completely destroyed by the
shock of the explosion or else so badly
damaged as to be not fit for occupation.
Large quantities of burning oil were
thrown into the city, and at one time it
appeared as though the whole place
would be destroyed. Fortunately, how
ever, change in the wind prevented
this, but terrible damage had been
done.
A hundred small vessels sank in the
Earbor, and number of Others. includ-
ing the merchant steamer Alfonso XII,
caught fire from the rain of flaming oil
and burned fiercely. Forty of the crew
of the Alfonso lost their lives.
Mangled and blackened corpses were
scattered, along the quay. and The scene
was one that defied description.
Among the dead were Don Manuel
Somoza de la Pena, the provincial gov
ernor, and number of other officials,

plosion. This train was completely

OTTAWA, ILL.,. March 2l.-The Illinois
supreme court has refused TO grant a
supersedeas in the case of Prendergast,
the murderer of Carter Harrison, who
is sentenced to be hanged Friday. AS
calmly as ii allowing litigant ten days
in which to file abstracts and briefs.
Chief Justice Baker this afternoon
killed the last hope of Prendergast of
further movement in the courts for
either stay of proceedings or new
lOophole by which he may escape out
ragged justice. The Judges filed solemnly
into the court room, and, after few
unimportant decisions Of motions i'll
civil cases, Chief Justice Baker upered
the docket at the criminal page and
said:
People, No. 5, Prendergast VS.. The
People; motion for writ of error and
that the writ be made writ of super
sedas; the court has carefully examined
the record, abstract and briefs i'll full,
and has concluded to deny the applica-
ton"
This was all, but 1t decided that the
judgment or Judge BretanO'S court and
the conduct of the trial of The murderer
of Carter Harrison had been fully in
dorSed by the highest court of Illinois.
and that the case was practically closed
forever.
All that can now interfere between
Prendergast and death on Good Friday
is the governors respite. and the latter
is absent from the state.
The reason for the seeming delay in
the decision of the case was that the
judges left for home Friday night last,
and did not return until Sun day even
ing. and had practically but two days in
which to consider the many points pre-
sented III the brief prepared by A ttor-
neys Gregory and barrow. 1t had eight
principal points, am ong which was a
severe criticism or Judge Horton.
Mr.. Gregory, who was i'll Ottawa,
said that the governor would be asked
for reprieve, and that an applications
would be made to the U nited States
court for writ of habeas corpus, on
the ground that the state court miscon-
strued the constitution of the United
States.
The action of the supreme court was
a surprise to nearly every one who
heard of it The opinion was general
that a supersedeas would be granted,
nd there was hardly the least eXpecta-
tion that it would be fatty denied. In
spite of the surprise, however, 1t was
received with favor on all sides.
Prendergast, every one said, had had
fair trial and a fair chance for his
life, and could only be given another
chance upon techicality. Yet the
circumstances surrounding the case,
including the prisoners actions in
court, were of such an unusual nature
that it was the belief that the super
SedeaS would be granted.
Prendergast's attorneys at late hour
this evening reported that they had
seen the United States judges in this
city, and placed the matter before them.
Their principal point was that the
state court refused Prendergast per-
mission to appear as his own attorney.
The federal judges agreed to consider
the points raised ana render decision
tomorrow.
