MRS. CHASE DESTITUTE.
Her Home Is Gone and Her
Household Goods Are
Mortgaged.
EdgeWood, the Beautiful Estate Of
the Late Chief Justice, Lost to
His Daughter.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 14.-A Wash
ington special says a temporary stay
granted by a District Judge is all that
stands between Mrs. Kate Chase and a
chattel mortgage foreclosure of all her
household goods. Edgewood is already
gone and the trust company which fore
closed the mortgage has notified Mrs.
Chase to surrender possession.
Salmon P. Chase. Governor, Senator,
Secretary of the Treasury and Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, died twenty-five years ago. In
every public position which he occupied he
was a leader. To him was due the forma-
ton of the National bank account. AS a
Senator from Ohio he originated some of
the most important legislation of his day.
Though millions of dollars passed
through his hands he died comparatively
poor, leaving Edgewood, with its priceless
associations, to his daughter, Mrs. Kate
Chase.
Misfortunes have come to her. Her eld-
est daughter, Ethel Sprague, is on the
stage with Richard Mansfield's ''Portia"; ;
the second daughter has taken a position
as governess; Nettie, the youngest, is an
invalid, requiring constant attention.
Mrs. Chase has been assured that in case
she is able to raise sufficient funds to re-
deem the estate it will be again restored to
her. She is now in New York making an
effort in this direction. She writes to in
innate friends in Washington that she is
almost exhausted, mentally and physi-
callJ and despairs of success.

TOO OLD TO Be PRESIDENT.
Senator Sherman Declares He
Would Not Accept the
Nomination.
Predicts That the Republican Party
VIII Not Espouse a Double
Monetary Standard.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 13.-A Herald
special from Mansfield Ohio, says:
''No, am not candidate for the Presi-
dency, and if all the people of the United
States should join together and offer it to
me would not accept the position. I am too
old. No man Of 72 has the right to under
take the work and responsibility which

States. 1t is position of wear and tear

These were the words of Senator John
Sherman, as we sat together in a little
summer-house Just back of his Ohio home
yesterday. had asked the Senator point
blank the question as to whether he again
would be a candidate. That was his reply.
1t came from his lips in firm, sharp and
decisive tones, and 1 could see from the
expression of his face that his Presidential
ambitions had passed forever.

is against him, however. There is Nc

yacht disaster occurred to-day two miles
out of this port. Three lives were lost. H.
S. Tisicorth, the owner of the yacht Arctic,
and Coates & Stillson, the members of the
firm who built it, meeting their death.
The Arctic was launched last Tuesday in

it was decided to take the boat to Sauga-
tuck for trial sail. There was only a
fresh breeze blowing and an easy, enjoy
able trip was expected. All went we'll un-
til the boat was two miles out from here.
Observers from the shore report that they
saw the yacht suddenly roll over, keel up
and sink before any of the victims had a
chance to keep adoat by clinging to any

A CRUSADE OF BLOOD.
White Residents Fleeing for
Their Lives Before the
SIaughterers.
APPEAL TO ADMIRAL BRIDGE.
A British Cruiser Sent to Crush the
Reign of Terror In the
South Seas.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 14.-After
almost years cessation of their barbar-
ous practices. the head-hunters of Solomon
Islands have again deserted the plantations
and embarked in crusade of blood. The
white traders are in terror and mission
aries are returning by every steamer to Aus
tralian cities So terrible are the crimes
committed by the head-hunters that trade
is temporarily paralyzed and in despair the
white residents of the South Sea Islands
have appealed for protection to the Brit
ish Commander-in-Ch in Australian
waters, Admiral Cyprian A. g. Bridge. This
officer believing that the reign of terror
should be crushed in its incipiency, has un-
dertaken the task, and the frst-class
cruiser Orlando was, when the steamer
Miowera left Sydney for this port, prepar-
ing to teach the ferocious islanders a salu-
tary lesson.
The latest victims of the savages were
the ships company of the Sydney trading
schooner Amelia, Captain D. Kerr, his
mate Samuel Smith, and eight or ten
men. They sailed in the Amelia from Ru-
biana in the middle of April and have
since been missing, under circumstances
their fate.
When they failed to return to Rubiana
in May, Nathaniel Wheatly of that place
organized a search for them, and sue
ceeded in picking up part of the deck
house, the matches and other wreckage of
the Amelia in Blanch Channel. Then he
instituted inquiries among the natives,
and learned that some weeks before raid
had been made on the head-hunters on
Rendova Island by Lur-Conga men, and
that during the raid the trading schooner
was met with and her crew dispatched
without having a chance for their lives.
The natives who gave the information
said the schooner was stranded on reef
when the massacre took place, but Wheatly
afterwards found this was untrue. The
vessel was attacked in true pirate style,
and after butchering all aboard the pirates
looted the schooner and then sent her
adrift. hoping she would speedily break up
and no trace be left to point to the fate of
those belonging to her. Captain Francis
Guy, it will be remem bered, met similar
fate in the same locality year ago.
Kerr and Smith had but recently pur-
chased the Amelia, and were engaged in
collecting copra for the Sydney market.
Captain Williams of the steamer Keilio
has reported to Admiral Bridge that head
hunting and other outlawry is on the in
crease, and that upward of 200 men of
Rubiana are now on bloody expedition,
having promised to secure upward .of
fifty trophies before returning to the
island.

FOUGHT A BLAZE At SEA,
An All-Night Battle With Fire
on the French Liner La
NOrmandie.
Passengers Remain Quiet and
Orderly and the Flames Are
Finally Conquered.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 14.-T The
French liner La Normandie, which ar
rived from Havre this morning, had a
decidedly eventual voyage.
just after her departure from Havre one
of the firemen, Francois LIE Flem, was in
structed to open one of the coal bunkers.
He did SO, using naked light. AS soon
as the hatch was opened there was rush
of gas, which instantly ignited from the
lamp fame and exploded with tremendous
force, instantly killing LIE Flem and doing
more or less damage to the bunker fill
ings. LIE Flem was only 10 years old, and
was a native of Brittany. He was buried
at sea.
On July 8, just after the passengers had
seated themselves at dinner, fire was dis
covered in the forehold and fire alarm
was instantly sounded.
The crew ran to the fire stations and
lines of hose were stretched along the deck.
The passengers were quiet and orderly
under the circumstances, and there was no
panic. Officers and crew worked all night
long and towards morning had the fire
well under control. At o'clock on the
morning of the 10th the fire was entirely
out.
The passengers, headed by Thomas
O'Connell, James Campbell. Mrs. Henry
M. Saunders and J. Bussat drew up set
of resolutions thanking the officers and
crew for their bravery and energy. La
Normandie made port without any further
incident.
On July 6, off the Lizard, the st. Louis
passed in sight of the French steamer, and
quickly drew ahead and out of sight.

Shortly before o'clock this morning the

The fire spread with great rapidity and

but owing to its massive construction the
flames made slow progress. There is no
doubt that it will be totally destroyed

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 14.-This city

druggists and soda-water dispensers, how
ever, were not interfered with to-day, and
the soda fixed as merrily as ever.

Ttco Kentmckians Literally Hack Each
Other to Pieces

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 14.-Meager
details have been received here of a desper-
ate cutting affray in Shelby County in
which two young farmers were literally
hacked to pieces. Both will die. The
victims are Isaac Huffman and Marshal
Garner.
Huffman owns farm, and Garner lately
came from Tennessee to work on an ad-
joining farm. They had an alteration
to-day from some unknown cause and both
men drew knives and began slashing at
one another. They only ceased cutting
when they were so weak from loss of blood
that they could no longer stand.
