BARGE SUMATRA SUNK.
Foundered in the Terrific Storm Of Milwal
Lee nrnn

Foundered in the Terrific Storm Off MiIwau-
kee Har6or.
The barge Sumatra, consort of the B
W. Arnold, bound down from Chicago,
foundered off the government pier at Mil
waukee at 2:40 "Wednesday morning.
Four sailors were drowned. The captain,
mate and cook were rescCed by the life
saving crew. The Sumatra was bound
for Milwaukee loaded with grain, and in
tended picking up the Hattie Well. She
was leaking on her way up, and had Ehe
pumps working all night. The sea was
running high and the crew had great diff
Guilty in keeping her from sinking. When
she reached South point she got in the
trough of the sea, and in a short time her
matches were washed off and her rails
carried away. The steamer sounded her
whistle and the tug Simpson at once put
out for the wreck. The sea at that time
was running very high and great trouble
was experienced in getting near the sink
ing barge. Just as the Simpson reached
the Sumatra she foundered. The tug
men succeeded in rescuing the cook and
mate from the wreckage. The life-sav-
ing crew was on hand and worked hard
to save the other men on the barge, but
all were drowned with the exception of
the captain, who was taken ashore by
the life-savers. The Sunatra is badly
broken up and only her mast can be seen
out of wafer now. The wreck occurred
of mile off the harbor,
out from the harbor entrance.

DEATH NEAR TO THEM.

Vice President Stevenson and Cthcrs In
Iured in the Collapse of Platform.
Vice President Stevenson, Gov. Drake
and his official staff. and score or more
of prominent Burlington city and county
officials had hairbreadth escape froJ'
death Thursday morning during the fe
tiyities attending the celebration Ca
Iowa's semicenternial anniversary at
Burlington. A fiimsily constructed plat
form, from which the distinguished visit
ors were reviewing the parade. collapsed
and pitched the entire party distance of
fifteen feet to the ground. The accident
was witnessed by thousands and caused
the widest excitement. Vice President
Stevenson was reported killed. Gov.
Drake WAS said to have been fatally in
jured. Secretary of State Mcfarland,
Mayor Nauman, County Treasurer Bur
rus and dozen more prominent men
were included in the list of dead and
wounded that rumors quickly compiled.
Happily the accident did not prove to be
as serious as first reported. The Com
mittee on Arrangements is being criticised
or all sides, not so much on account of
the poorly constructed reviewing stand
as for permitting it to be overcrowded.
But for this negligence the accident could
not have happened. County Treasurer
Burrus will probably die.

disgrace to Europe.

There exists Il condition OF affairs in
Marseilles which is n disgrace 10 Europe
and to the Armenian associations gener-
ally throughout the world. Subsisting
upon Government, municipal or private
charity there are 500 unfortunate Arme-
mans. men, women and children. young
and old, healthy and sick, who have sue
ceeded III escaping from the bloody mas
sacres ut Constantinople and who were
one and all buoyed NJ by the hope on
landing in Marseilles of being able even
tualiy to reach the land of freedom, the
United States. But weeks have already
elapsed and nothing definite appears to
have been done for their relief, much less
toward finding them homes. by any Of the
many associations for the relief of the
suffering Armcnians which have been
organized in England and America. These
unfOrtunates, however, seem to be the
very class to which the hand of charity
should be first extended. They are home
less, nearly all are penniless, many are
enduring the pangs of hunger, and yet
nobody seems willing to step in and guide
this band of refugees to some place
where they can begin life anew and under
more promising circumstances. Large
amounts of money nave been raised in
the past for the destitute Armpnians in
Armenia, but the situation of the latter
is not a whit worse than that of the half
starving refugees, if rs bad. Only about
eighteen of the 500 Armenians who
reached Marseilles have as yet been able
to start for the United States.

The Funnel Trick.

Jerry Lynch has finally learned the
funnel trick. He took it in two doses
one on one evening and the other the
next. The Senator sauntered UP to
the Bohemian Club the other day and
saw two or three of the younger mem
bers attempting a new feat, and he
watched them with interest. One of
them stuck a funnel in the top of his
trousers. throw his head back, placed
a fifty-cent piece on his forehead and
tried to drop it into the funnel by slowly
lowering his head. After all had failed
Jerry insisted on trying it. though all
had tried to dissuade him from attempt
ing a feat too difficult for them. The
funnel was placed in the waistband Of
his trousers and he threw back his head
to receive the coin on his expansive
brow. At that juncture pitcher Of ice
water was emptied into the funnel, and
by the time Jerry got through dancing
the iokers had vanished. The Sena-
tors temper improved with dry raj
ment and the next night at the club he
started in to show 4 couple Of friends
the funnel trick.
It's this way" he explained, you
put the funnel in the top of your panta-
looms. so, then throw your head back,
so. and Vow
Again Jerry was forced to change his
raiment, and he is not showing people
what he knows about the funnel trick

MORE TROOPS ARRIVE,
Spanish Veterans VIII Improve the Arm

Spanish Veterans VIII improve the Army's
Standard.
The great floods which have occurred
in Pinar del Rio and along the western
trocha are not alone paralyzing the Span
ish military movements in the west of
Cuba, eIt may also retard for some weeks
more the carrying into effect of Capt.
Gen. Weyler's plans for personal opera
tons against Antonio Maceo. Vessels
from Spain continue to enter the port
daily, bringing new re-enforcements.
About 1900 men have been disembark-
ed. Many of these are veterans of for
mer campaigns there and elsewhere, and
consequently are expected to achieve bet
Ter results than the recruits formerly
brought over. Apparently they are full
OF energy and enthusiasm and are anx-
ious for the fray. a majority of them
landed across the bay in Regia, and the
men are distributed thence to different
points on the island by rail or coast trans
ports. a correspondent in Santiago de
Cuba says that the American prisoners,
Frank Agramonte and Julius SAM, have
been transferred from Morro Castle to
the civil prison in the city, together with
Gonzales, Venezuelan general. 1t is
expected that they will all soon be called
for trial. The Americans are visited fre
quently by Consul Hyatt or his deputy.
Consul Preyat, who reports them as well
treated by the prison authorities. The
Spanish press of Havana is engaged in Il
heated editorial discussion of the propo-
sition TO expel from the island all Cuban
negroes as soon as the triumph of the
spanish arms in the present struggle shall
be assured, and follow up this step by
encouraging white migration from the
poorer provinces of the peninsula.

INDIANS ARE IMPROVING.
Annual Report of Commissioner Browning
-Prscrsss rnde

Annual Report of Commissioner Browning
Progress kade.
ID. NJ. Browning, Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs. has made his annual report
TO the Secretary of the Interior. He
says that with no outbreak or disturb
ance during the year the progress of the
Indians generally in education and civ
ilization has been uninterrupted and sub
stantial. The main effort now is and for
many years must be to put the Indian
upon his allotment, get him TO support
himself there, protect him from encroach-
ment and injustice and educate and train
his children in books and industries. As
first step, so far as treaty Obligations
do not interfere by requiring the payment
of moneys and issuance of rations or an
nuities, the Indians are given to under
stand that the Government will not feed
and clothe them while they remain in
idleness. Such funds as are available
for the purpose are devoted to starting
Indians in homes. If an Indian viii so
upon an allotment and work to improve it,
the Government will assist him in build
ing house, getting his farm in operation
and making him practical farmer. The
Commissioner says the Government goes
further and pays the Indian for his work.
The regular Indian employees the Govern
ment paid last year 100000.

Wood Burners and Coal Burners.

The modern ccIi-burning locomotive
presents q great contrast to the old
woodworking engine, and in no feature
is the contrast more striking than in
the smokestack. The coal burner has
a straight smokestack; the wood burner
had big, faring. funnel-shaped
smoke-stacll. which. rising above q
boiler smaller in diameter and set near
er the ground. was almost as conspicu-
Gus at one end of the engine as the cab
ut the other.
Now there are made locomotives with
boilers so big and standing so high
above the tracks that the smokestact
must be made very short to go unde
the bridges and through the tunnels
On some of these big engines straight
edge laid along would touch the head
light. the smokestack. the bell frame,
the sand box. and the steam dome. The
short. dumpy, straight stack is as far
as it could he from the old-fashioned
smokestack of the wood burner. and
the whole engine is the very type of
energy and power.

of the worst wrecks in the history of the
road. One man is dead and two proba-
bly, fatally injured. Fast freight east,
No. a, was scheduled to meet west-bound
freight, No. 95, at Philson. The latter
train reached the siding and waited on
the main track for the east-bound train.
Shortly after starting down the grade,
the crew on No. "a lost control of the
train. In an instant it was going at an
express speed, and the crew decided to
take chances by staying aboard rather
than by jumping. AS the train shot
ground the curve at Philson, the east
bound freight struck the other train, and
every car of the former was thrown to the
common center of the collision and ground
to atoms. The engines were smashed to
scrap iron. The other train was also bad

as the telegraph poles. The property loss

DruniSards in Turkey.

This reminds us that the Turks. who
are mentioned occasionally in the news
papers, have Il singular manner of reg
ulating drunkenness If Il Turk, over
taken with wine. falls down in the
street and is arrested by the guard, he
is sentenced to the bastinado; this pun
ishment is repeated as far as the third
Offense, after which he is regarded rs
incorrigible and called imperial drunk
ard" or privileged drunkard." If he
is then arrested, he has only to name
himself, mention his lodging, say he is
a privileged drunkard:" he is released
and sent to sleep upon the hot ashes Of
the baths. Thus does Pouqueyille i'll
struct us. But suppose that the privil-
eyed drunkard is suffering from still
or a numb and cannot give his name,
address or station? What then? Of
