Of the Elbe tho Grew obeyed orders with
extraordinary fidelity, and every one OF
the officers and the entire deck crew went
down at their posts of duty. The mem
bers of the crew who escaped were stokers
and seamen off duty. In honoring the
memory Of Captain Won Goessel we should
not omit the need of praise due his brave
subordnates.
A captain who went down with his
ship and lived to tell the tale Is Captain
II. +. Sohwensen, who commanded the
Hamburg American steamship Pomer-
ania, which was run down In tho English
channel in 1873. She was rammed almost
exactly as the Elbe was and sank In 30
minutes. Captain Schwensen remained on
the bridge and gave the necessary orders
for lowering away the boats. But his or
ders were not needed. Many of the sailors
drew their knives, rushed for the boats
and drove away the passengers. Captain
Schwensen refused to leave tho ship In
any of the boats. He sank with her, but
was brought TO the surfcce by life belt
and was picked up by tho crew Of the
steamer City of Amsterdam. All of those
drowned on the Pomerania were passen.

own life.
An old correspondent of tho Boston
Herald relates the following interesting
rominiscenco of the wreck Of the Atlantic,
which occurred on tho coast of Nova SEQ,
tia 22 years ago with n loss Of thousand
lives:

States, and that a great deal Of American
money is invested in its enterprises,
There are two great parties in Colombia
tho Conservatives and the Liberals. The
Conservatives have been in power about
90 years. and tho Liberals allege that they
have ruined the country's credit and made
its circulating medium worthless. There
is popular suffrage but voting is farce.
The military and the ofliceholders Of the
party In power run the elections in such
a manner that peaceful overthrow of the
regime in control of the government Is
impossible The governments revenue is
entirely derived from customs, and the
people have been so heavily taxed that
they are anxious for a change of admins
tratiun. The Liberals have long been plot
ting to bring this about, and just two
years ago a mop Of workingmen seized
Bogota, tho capital, and held it for two
days. Desperate battles occurred between
the insurgents and the police, and 100
persons were killed and 500 wounded be-
fore the government troops got the upper
hand.

formidable proportions that the govern
