of the French bark Amerfque. on jan

| The Amerique was bound from
France to CartheSena, Colombia. with
90 ernigrants.
During a sale, she was blown upon
the BOGUS de Cenizas reef, two miles
off the coast.
She struck with such force that her
masts went by the board. Luckily for
those on board. the bark became
spiked fast on the rocks. and she
settled down on the reef SO firmly that
the seas which swept over her decks
did not force her off into deep water

suffered untold hardships. For three
days they lay helpless on the doomed
vessel. The ships water supply gave
out the first day. It was impossible to
launch any Hfeboats, owing to thu
roughness Of the Sea.
On the second day, the watchers on
the wreck sighted the Colombian gun
boat La Popa, and were led to believe
| that succor was at hand, but the sun
boat. after exchanging signals with
the wrecked vessel, steamed away On
her course.
The hopes OF the unfortunates were
again raised the next morning, when
the Pacific Mail steamer City of Para
and the Mexican steamer Elisa came
within hailing distance. Both vessela
passed close to the reef. and after
asking by signal for the state of az
fairs on the wreck. steamed away. On

WILD IN ARKANSAS.
LEGISLATURE ATTEMPTS TO MI
TATE CONGRESS.
The Governor Played BY n Member
of the Legislature, and a Lively
Reply is Made By the Executive.

Little Rock, Ark, March 6.-Intense
afternoon when Mr.. Monroe, of this
county, rose to a question of personal
privilege and bitterly denounced Coy
ernor Clarke in connection with the
governors criticism of the house for
defeating the railroad commission bill,
ciated the governor in unmeasured
terms. He accused Clarke of making
promises when running for attorney
general to collect back taxes from the
telegraph and railroad companies, but
had failed to fulfill the promise. Mon
roe continued by saying that he called
on the governor yesterday on public
business, and was insulted by the gov
ernor, who refused to receive him. In
the course of Monroe's bitter speech
he was repeatedly cautioned by the
chair to use milder language, but he
paid no attention and continued to
fay the governor. He concluded by
saying, among other things;
I do not say anything here that
will not say to any man anywhere. I
feel like standing upon this floor and
branding that man who insinuates
anything against this body as an in
famous liar.
'I have as much or more evidence
to prove that Clarke is a rascal than
he has to prove the members of this
legislature are"
A reporter asked Governor Clarke
this evening what he had to say in
reply to Monroe's attack on him. He
said:
an answer to your inquiry / have
to say that it is not expected of me
that / should notice every cur that
barks at my heels. The one I refer to
is already in possession of my opinion
Of him.
In the house this afternoon Mr.. But
Ter offered a resolution ordering the
sergeant-at-arms to eject from the
house the representatives of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal because
of criticisms in that paper on the
course Of the members who opposed
the railroad commission bill. Pande-
monium reigned when the resolution
was read, and the house deferred ac-
ton until tomorrow by the advice Of
cOOl-hea6ed members.

ILLINOIS SCHOOL LANDS.
ALTGELD SENDS A MESSAGE TO
THE LEGISLATURE.
He Declares the Rentals Are Far Be
low What They Should Be-scOres
u Popular Brand OF PatriOtisma

Springfield. ILL.,. March Ex-Governor
Altgeld today sent a special message to
the state legislature touching the rental
of school lands in Chicago. he declaring
that the rentals are far below What the
lands should earn on a basis of actual
worth. He points out that the leases
were originally made with a provision
for re-Yaluation every five years to be
fixed by commissioners appointed by the
board, rents to be paid on basis of 8
per cent. on the assessed valuation; that
recently the board gave up its right to
appoint all three commissioners, allow
ing two Of them to be appointed by the
judges of the courts; that it is being pro-
posed by some parties in interest to have
the board waive the right to secure re-
valuations altogether. He points out
that this time of financial depression is
unfaVorable for fixing values and asks
the legislature to pass an emergency act
to prevent this and compel the payment
of an adequate rental in the future.
He makes the particular point of fact
that four great daily newspapers hold
school land leases and three of them
are actually published on school prop
erty and scores some of the papers in a
vigorous manner, saying that "WaYing
the flag with one hand and plundering
the public with the other Is a form of
patriotism that is getting to be entirely
loo common"

Boise, Idaho, March 6.-A break in
the Sweet 10 occurred today, and more
have promised to go to Shoup tomor-
row. Senator Myer, of Boise county,
who has supported Sweet from the
first. went to Shoup. The vote was:
Shoup, q; Sweet, Is; Crook. II.
1t is expected some. if not all, Of the
Mormon members will go to Shoup to-
morrow. This will give him M-Suf-
fcient to elect with one absentee. The
Populists have joined the remainder Of
the Sweet supporters to prevent more
than one ballot day, in the hope Of
be able to do 50, although Shoup's
managers declare they cannot.
1t is stated, on good authority, that
Dubois is lending all his influence to
prevent an election, seeing in such an
event combination of a northern man
and himself two years hence. If the
PopuliStS can prevent an election. they
hope to use it as an entering wedge
into the state house at the next cleo
ton. But two more ballots can be
taken, provided the combination sue
coed in restricting voting to one ballot
day
1t is said twelve of the original Sweet
men have signed an agreement to
stand by him to the end.
The Statesman, in speaking of the
situation. will say editorially tomor-
row;
"Whoeyer may be elected, the States
MAY, n, aI-ee. ono demand in tho mama oP
the Republican party of the state OF
Idaho-that the Republicans shall hold
the joint convention in session today
until senator is elected. The party
and the people will expect this of the
Republican membership, and no puerile
plea viii be sufficient to ward OF the
wrath that will fall upon the heads Of
those who. through disloyalty to the
party and to the state. should open the
way for the election of a senator to go
by default"
