no knowledge of the fate of those who
had left the st. Nazaire in the other
boats, but before they parted company
with the captains boat they frequently
saw those in her dropping corpses over
board. Many of those in the boat
seemed to be raving mad.
The names of the crew who We're
saved by the Yanariva are:
Pauparc, Burac, Chaudierre, two men
named Ludon, all sailors; Marteau, Sal
we're, Cacheux, Cledore and Saguel, all
flremen.
Captain Weston of the Yanariva says
that the boat was sighted at II o'clock
on the morning of March 12 and not
March 1S, as has been stated. She was
then 253 miles from New York. 1t
was difficult task to make the rescue
The sea was running very high and at
times the boat was carried to level
with the steamers deck. 1t was feared
that the steamer would be driven too
close to her and swamp her. The oc-
cupants had been for four days with
out food or water, and some of them
did not have q proper quantity of
clothing. These ill-clad men suffered
extremely from the cold When the
men were taken aboard the steamer
they fell into alternate paroxysms of
laughter and crying,

ariva upon her arrival here, and warm

P4RrY LINES rN THE srsaTs.-
A Fight for Supremacy to be Precipitated
This Week.

Washington, March 2S.--There is a
strong probability Of a. clash between
the republicans and their allied oppo-
nents in the senate this week on the
question of filing the committee va
cancies. The democrats have attacked
the validity of the action of the com
mittee on postoffices and post roads in
taking under consideration nominations
when the committee was not more than
half filled, despite the fact that reso-
luton was passed at the close of the
last session of the Fifty-fourth con-
gress, continuing the senate committee
and authorizing it to transact business
until the vacancies were filled
BY attacking the legality of the COM
mittees as at present constituted the
democrats hope to force the republi-
cans to agree to their program Of per-
mitting the total membership of the
committees to remain as at present
constituted; the democrats to hereafter
name democrat for every senator of
that party, whose term expired on the
fourth of March last
According to this contention the re-
publicans, il the democrats demands
were granted although holding the
chairmanships, would be in the minor
ity on all of the important committees.
The situation has been quietly can
vassed, and the republicans failing to
bring the democrats to terms on
grounds which they consider reasona-
bic, will probably try new tactics this
week. They contemplate Offering res
| olution declaring that the membership
Of the various committees shall consist
OF certain number of senators belong
| ing to each party, the number to be
designated in the case of each commit
| tee. This resolution, it is believed by
| republicans. will be carried either by
| the affirmative votes of the populists
or by their refusal to vote, as when
| the republicans reorganized the COM
| mittees and took control. 1t is also
| expected that the gold democrats will
| decline to vote, and this will give the
republicansa clear majority Of the quo
rum of the senate and carry the reso-
luton that will be offered. If this pro-
gram can be successfully carried out
the republicans will then feel free to
caucus and designate their assignments
to the various committees, and then to
| ask the democratic committees to fill
in turn. their assignments. This will
| bring the matter to a square issue and
| force the fighting in the senate Re-
publicans who have the matter in
| charge profess their belief in the sue
cess of the plan.

THE REAL PRESENCE.
Rev. Father Lilly at st. Mary's Church
Last Evening.

The Rev. H. F. Lilly, o. p, deliv-
cred a lecture last evening on the Real
Presence" before the Lacordaire Catho-
lie Reading circle in st. Marys church.
The large audience room was filled to
overflowing. Many of the audience
We're members of Protestant churches.
Father Lilly said among other things:
"Our separated brethren deny the
real presence in the Eucharist, and yet
they admit the real presence in the in
carnation and in the sacrifice of Cal
vary. They admit that the babe in the
stable at Bethlehem was the Creator
of the Universe, was and is the AL
mighty God; they admit that He who
was nailed to the cross was Almighty
God. Why, then, deny the real pres
ence of Almighty God in the Eucharist
The same reason against one prevails
against all This is something our
separated brethren have not thought
Of Until 1927 at the University of Ok
ford there was only one meaning at
tached to the text This is My body;
this is My blood. Luther added eight
and in thirty years there We're eighty
five. One interpreter says that by
eat Christ meant meditation. In
other words. to mediate on the Bible
means to eat it; to mediate on the
Universe means to eat it. Well that is
pretty hard on the digestion"

HIS IDENTITY A MYSTERY.
Who Was the Man Asphyxiated with Two
Women in the Marine Hotel, n. W

New York. March 2S,-The man who
with women was found asphyxiated
Saturday morning in the Marine hotel,
died at 2:20 this morning in st. Vim
cents hospital, He did not recover
consciousness so that the case will
probably always remain a mystery. The
women who were found dead were posi-
lively identified to-day at the morgue.
The woman who registered as Alice
Bayshay was Eliza Jarvis, eighteen
years old, of South Glens Falls, N. Y.
She was identified by her brother. The
woman who registered as Mrs. Marshall
was identified as Mrs. Mary Emeline
Mahoney of this city. Her identity was
made known by her father, George B.
Sheffield, with whom she lived. No one
called at the hospital to try to identify
the man, whose body was taken away
in the afternoon.
Mr. Sheffield said his daughter had
married her husband two years and a
half ago. He thought that Mahoney
was now a bartender at the Grand
Opera house cafe in Hartford, Conn.
Mr.. Sheffield stated that his daughter
and her husband had quarrel on the
10th Of last July and that they had
then separated. Mrs. Mahoney after
wards earned her living as a seam
stress. Mrs. Mahoney and the Jarvis
woman We're friends. They went out
together Friday evening and We're not
seen alive again by any of the family
Eliza Jarvis spent much time in hos
DitalS bec9usa Of a permanent trouble
she had. Last Thursday she complain
ed of the great suffering she had en-
dured and of the necessity of going Of
ten to hospitals for treatment. She
said then that the time would soon
come when she would fix things so that
she would not have to go. to those
places any more.
The detectives are still hunting for
evidence in the case. They still stick
to the theory of suicide.

New Professor for Harvard,

Cambridge, Mass, March 2S.-Prof.
Munsterberg, who left Cambridge in

came to Cambridge to take charge of
the psychological laboratory for a term
of three years. At the end of this time
he returned to Freiberg, where he has
since been writing on ethics. Prof.
Munsterberg is perhaps the leading ex-
perimental psychologist in Germany.

than this the Italian government has
categorically refused to furnish a man

London, March 2S.--The Graphic
gives prominence to a statement which
it claims to have received from an un-
questionable source, to the effect that
the Greek situation is extremely grave.
1t says that with the departure of
Crown Prince Constantin from Athens
to take command of the troops in
Thessaly the die seems to have been
cast. War would be inevitable if
Greece recalled her army. 1t would
march to Athens and dethrone the
king. The most serious element Of the
situation is the undoubted fact, despite
denials, that the concert of the pew
ers is no longer solid. There has not
been an actual rupture but the mem
bers have come to the conclusion that
concerted action is failure. If the So
called concert continues for a week it
cannot continue longer.

6 Never wear q shoe or boot that has

Satanic Devices.
Observer

Satan carries on his biggest business
in the dress of an angel. The Church
is ever ready to adopt his shining de-
vices. They seem so fitting to secure
proper ends. The elect r almost de,
ceived by his devices. The feeble
saints fall into his traps by the scores.
The worldly Christians r the press
ing advocates of Satan's sanity ways.
Satan's way s are never to do evil out.
right, but to do evil under the guise OF
good. His master device is not to de
stroy the Church organization, but to
pervert it; this is his widest scheme.
He will be happy to let the machinery
Of the Church remain in perfect order
If he can direct it's aims. One Of his
willy schemes is to turn the Church into
an entertainment monger. IL he can
do this his happiness is complete. His
first step is to turn the service OF praise
into an entertainment musicale. Then
the pulpit for entertainment. Then the
whole occasion of worship pitched on
the low designs of an entertainment,
and his end is gained. The first note OF
the entertainment programme is the en-
tering Of wide wasting waters.
To one ignorant of Sstan's devices
his success along this line seems mar,
velous. No more dire apostasy is to
be found anywhere than in those
churches given over to the entertain
ment business.
The fashion these days is to widen
the Church to take in all forms of sacu'
lar and worldly things; to widen so as
to take in Satan also, for he never stays
out when the world comes in. The fact
that the entertainment business in tbs
Church seems so innocent and such g
little thing, and is so much the custom,
does not lessen its destructive forces,
for it is just the things which seem SC
small and innocent with which Satan
does his deadliest and most delusive
work.

African Notes

The Free Settlement of the German

The Swiss Society for the relief of
African slaves has now raised 80, 900,
and will coon start a station for freed
slavesin Ashanteeland, where the Basic
missionaries are already taking care of
some slaves. America is still tagging
behind.
The successful campaign of Sir
George Taubman Goldie against the
Sultan of Nupe has resulted in the lib
GRAFTON of thousands of slaves. At
Laddi alone, on the Niger river, twelve
hundred slaves were freed. They we're
mostly old people, the young women
and children having previously been
