TEN LIVES LOST.
Result of Three Schooners Being
Driven Ashore.

NEWBURYPORT (Mass.), Feb. 3
Three schooners were driven on Hamp-
ton, Salisbury and Plum Island
beaches, within five miles of each other,
in the northeast gale this evening, and
ten lives were lost.
The dead: Water Bell, Florida, sea-
man; Arthur Brown, Florida's Captain;
John E. Johnson, Florida, seaman; -
MELONS, st. John, N. B., Captain of the
Allianza; r. McColloch, Florida. sea-
man; John Reed, Calais, Me, Allianza,
seaman; Gus Smith, Florida, seaman;
unknown man. Allainza, cook; Albert
williams, Florida, seaman; William
Wills, Florida, seaman.
The schooner Florida of Rockland,
Me-, coal laden, New York for st. John,
was wrecked on Salisbury about 5
o'clock, and within an hour began to
break up. The sea was so heavy that
to launch a small boat was folly, as one
could not live in it, but in the face of
peril two of the crew could be seen
making the attempt.
The Plum Island life saving crew ar
rived at 7:15 p. m. A binding snow
storm had set in, cutting off a view of
the vessel, and making it impossible to

At 1915 two bodies were washed
ashore, and soon after it cleared for
few minutes, when it was seen that the
masts had been swept away and the
other five men lost.
The three-masted schooner Glendon,
which was in company with the Florida
all day. was driven upon Hampton
Beach, a few miles to the northward.
The seas broke over her deck, and the
crew of seven men were forced to take
to the rigging, whence they were res
cued three hours later by the Straus
Point life saving crew by means of the
breeches buoy. The Glendon was coal
laden, bound for st. John.
The schooner Allianza, also a three
master, and coal laden, was wrecked
on Plum Island shortly after the others,
and her crew of seven took to the rig
ging as the huge waves broke over the
doomed craft. Later the masts were
swept away and the men washed
ashore. Three were dead when re-
covered, but the other four were 1esus-
citated. The vessel has gone to pieces.
For ten miles the coast is strewn with
wreckage.

SEATTLE. Feb. "a raid by the
police this morning on a Washington
street opium den revealed the down
fall and degradation of one of SeattIe's
most prominent society bellies, who was
found in the act of smoking opium with
a looking Chinaman.

who told her fairy stories of the de-
lights to be derived from smoking
opium. The vice grew upon her to such
an extent that within few months
she was a complete slave and visited
the den daily.
She was accompanied in her de-
bauches by another prominent young
lady, whose name the police decline to
disclose. It is said that hitting the

distressing scene followed Miss Per,

that her shame be not made public for

LATE W. H. ENGLISH.
Thousands Pay Their Last Respects to

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd.), Feb 9.-The
remains of Hon. William H. English
were taken to the State House at 8
o'clock this morning and were placed
in the rotunda of the Capitol, where
they remained until 1 o. m, a large
number of citizens viewing them as

ing the day was disagreeable and a
heavy snow lay upon the ground. 1t is
estimated that fully 5000 persons
passed through the building and stop
ped for a few moments by the side of
the catafalque.
At / O'Clock the body was transferred
to the hotel in which he died, and was
placed in the corridor on the second
floor Here the funeral services We're
conducted by Rev. English of New
York, a cousin of the deceased. His
remarks were simple, and more in the
nature of a lesson drawn from the
dead mans life than an euIogy upon his
character. Following the services at
the hotel the body was taken to Crown
Hill, attended by the Hendricks club
and the Masons of Center Lodge, of
which deceased was a member. The
services at the grave consisted only of
a prayer and hymn, which are a part
of the Masonic ritual.

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 9.-It is
reported to-day that people about
Mount Tauquitz are getting ready to
leave the vicinity, as the giant peak
shows every sign Of active eruption
A number of Indians arrived in the
city to-day from Tauquitz, and they
state that the valley at the base of the
mountain is constantly quaking and
dull, thunder-lilxe noises and rumblings
are heard. A thick black smoke has OBJ
scured the peak for several days. and
huge clouds of steam arise above the
smoke and dissipate mistlike over the
valley.
There is legend in Indian history to
the effect that Tauquitz once belehed
forth volumes of fire, and it is because
OF this tale that the Indians are leaving
the valley. An exploring party has
been organized, and is now Quitting
for the trip.

the metal of which they are composed
worth their face value. The United
States takes silver bullion now worth 6S
cents per ounce and coins it into dollars
at ratio which implies that it is worth
S1.29 per ounce. That such coins circu-
late at par is due to the governments
declared policy of maintaining the par
ity of the two metals, nearly one-hah
of the value of the silver being thus fiat,
or depending on the country's credit.
The silverites do not want equal
rights for the white and yellow metals,
but special privileges for silver. They
want free coinage at sixteen to one, so
that, instead of coming silver at it's con
mercial value, which is all that is
done for gold, the government would
declare that 371A grains of pure silver
is worth as much as 23.22 grains of
pure gold. Since the market ratio of
the two metals is about 74O grains of
silver to 23.22 of gold it can easily be
seen that free coinage would be the
rankest kind of favoritism to silver
Instead of asking for equal privileges

EQUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.
Free Coinage Would Unjustly Favor Silver
for tho Benefit of n Few.

4Ece SOiuHRe w QUA bnluAJly FAVOr bliVor
for tho Benefit of Few.
The democratic state convention of
South Carolina adopted platform
drawn by Senator Pitchfork Tillman
which declared that "a sound and just
system of finance is the most potent
factor in u nations prosperity, and we
demand the restoration of the money of
the constitution by giving silver the
same rights and privileges given to
gold. We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at a ratio of six
teen to one"
1t is true that the nations prosperity
depends on sound and just system of
finance. 1t is also true that silver
should receive the same rights and
privileges given to gold. But it is not
true that these desirable ends would be
attained by free silver at sixteen to
one. On the contrary, that scheme vio-
lates every principle of sound and JUST
finance, and is directly opposed to the
great Jeffersonian doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.
1t would be waste of time to show
that the free and unlimited coinage of
silver dollars, the commercial value of
which is only 81 cents, would be to give
the country a most unsound currency.
Nor is it needful to discuss the justice
of a scheme for robbing creditors of one
half of the property they have loaned.
These things are self-evident. But for
the benefit of those persons who believe
that our currency laws favor gold by
giving it privileges denied to silver, it
is necessary to state just what the gov
ernment does for the two metals.
In stamping 25.s grains of gold, o.9oo
fine, zone dollar" the United States
simply certifies to the weight and fine
ness of the coin. The mint stamp does
not fix the value of the gold nor does it
add to it in any way. Gold is coined at
its market or bullion value.
With silver the government is more
liberal. Over 422,oOO,o0O silver dollars
have been coined, in none of which is
