DISSATISFACTION.

Civil Rights.

Do Not Like Being Divested of
Civil Rights.
There was much talk on the streets
Yesterday in regard to the law which
shuts man out from voting if he has
neglected to pay his taxes by January
/, 1897 Not a few of the prominent
men in town, simply through little
carelessness, have been refused the
privilege of registering, and, as stated
above, the matter is attracting no small
amount of attention.
Said a Government official yester-
day afternoon on leaving the Regis
tration office: "Well, I have just been
forbidden the privilege of voting,
What for? Simply because I happened
to be a few days late in paying my
taxes. Now, here is the injustice of the
whole thing After January 1st all
who have not paid their taxes have
been and are made to pay an additional
10 per cent as punishment for delin-
quency Very we'll then, we will say
that the taxes have been paid after
January 1st. The 10 per cent extra is
punishment enough; but here the law
steps in and says: You must be de-
prived of your civil rights for not pay
ing your taxes on time | tell you, the
thing is unconstitutional just as it was
unconstitutional to make a man wet
his. thumb with purple ink and leave
his mark on sheet of paper as a
means of Identification. Some one
should make a stand on the matter,
and that very sOOn."

while, the ship was wallowing in tho
monstainous seas and occasionally
burying herself under giant comber.
The life boats were smashed by the seas
and the crew saw death staring them In
the face. All hands worked with desperate
energy, but the fire seemed to gain head.
At 2 o'clock i'm the afternoon the Cartha-

He Meant What He Said.

Boston, Mass, March 1S.-Lester
Leland, treasurer of the Boston Rubber
Shoe Company, this afternoon, gave out
the following statement to The Asso-
ciated Press concerning the action of the
company in reducing prices March 10:
This action, said Mr.. Leland, twas Il
complete surprise to other rubber com
panies and the trade generally. Certain
parties have evidently endeavored to
create the impression that the action of
this company was taken after conference
W TN the rubber company and that an
understanding existed in relation To it.
This is absolutely false and when | said,
as / did on the day the reduction
was announced, this company has taken
a position merely independent from any
other rubber shoe manufacturing com.
pany, / mean exactly that, and we pre-.
pose To maintain the position. I"

Mr. Livingston store Is about 80 feet
long and ID feet wide His office room is
at the rear end and there is roll top desk
about s feet from the rear wall. The desk
was open when the two men were present
and he is of the opinion that he might
have been called ON for cash but for that
circumstance. He stood in front of the
desk with his right hand resting ms If in
one of the drawers. IL is possible that the
men believed that the concealed hand held
pistol.
The smaller man of the two came
almost to the center of the store and the
big fellow remained at the door with his
hand on the latch The little chap asked:
"Is'this Dayton's shoe store!'
He was informed that IL was not and
that no one by the name of Dayton kept
n shoe store in that vicinity.
He then asked where Potters avenue
was and If Mr.. Livingston knew whether
Dayton had IA shoe store on that avenue
or not
Mr.. Livingston replied again that he
did not know any man named Dayton in
that part of the city.
: The questioner wanted to- know where
Potter's avenue was and the storekeeper
showed the way to that street.

10y Captain Jagueneau, which sailed from
New York for the West Indies on March

So passengers and crew only four are
known TO have been saved. These known
to be saved are:
The Saved.
Inspector Barry, of the French line.

The Lost.
Among those known to be lost are:
First Lieutenant ID Andrews.

Purser Leiuane
Second Captain Nicolay.
Chief Engineer Mariana.
Mrs. Tagado and four children, starved
TO death.
The four known TO be saved were picked
up by steamer Hilda, after having spent a
week in small boat without food or
water. With them in the boat were four
dead men, There were three other boats
hardly chance that any OF these have SUR
vived the storm for many vessels traverse
that part of the ocean and nothing has
been seen of them.
The Villa dc st. NaZaire was discovered
to be leaking one day out from this port.
The leak was not dangerous one and
could have been controlled by the pumps
had not the steamer run into a terrific
gale. As the storm increased in violence,
the water poured into the hold more
rapidly and constantly increasing difficulty
was experienced in keeping the vessel ;
head TO the waves. Then wave after wave
swept over the st. Nazaire destroying her
upper works and extinguishing her fires.
The survivors are unable TO tell how
many persons were swept overheard by
the waves and drowned before the steamer
sank. Notwithstanding the frightful con-
fusion, discipline was maintained and the
crew worked nobly.
On the morning of the Sth there was SO
much water in the hold that il was
certain the vessel could not be kept up
and then the boats were gotten out. The
first one swung out was struck by an
enormous breaker taat threw it back on
deck crushed and splintered. The scene
was dreadful, the shrieks of the women
and children unnerving the men. Orders
were given TO put water and provisions
in the boats but little of either reached
them, as the vessel was settling rapidly.
Barrels of water intended for the
life boats were swept away before they
could bo placed and the packages of food
were torn from the hands of the sailors
by the great waves.

A Terrible Experience.

These four survivors passed through an
experience such as it has, fortunately, been
the lot of few, seeing one after another of
the 81 others who left the steamer in
the boats perish of exposure of cold or
die of hunger, some suffering during the
seven days in which they drifted hclpless
without sail or compass, pangs that drove
them To madness before death came To

News Not GivensOut.

The Hilda passed in at Sandy Hook at
3:l0 o'clock yesterday afternoon and pro-
ceeded on her way to Perth Amboy in tow
of tug Idlewild reaching that place about
5:30 o'clock. No word of the wreck of the
villa dc st. Nazaire was given out mt
Perth Amboy.
The tug Idlewild having left the Hilda
mt her dock br ought the survivors of the
wreck 60 the pier of the Campagnic Trans
Atlantique Generate at the foot of Morton
street in this cityy, run of about 20
miles, reaching there about s o clock in
the evening. The news was at once tele-
phoned TO Mr.. Forget agent of the
disposition, as he could for the comfort of
the sufferers. The facts of the disaster
were kept from the public for several
hours and only became known toward
midnight. Mr.. Forget has observed the
utmost reticence on the subject.
The II. Nazaire was one of the West
Indian fleet of the French Trans Atlantic
steamships, and piled between this and
West Indian ports. She cleared from New
York for Port de France on March g. On
the following day, according 10 the story
told by one of the survivors, leak was
discovered, but 1t was not thought 10 be
sufficiently serious to warrant a return To
port BY the middle of the second day.
however, the leak had increased 10 u dan
gerous extent, aud portion OF the cargo
from the port side of the vessel was dam
aged by the water, which had commenced
10 pour in in great quantities. a terrible
storm arose ON the night of the second
day, and the heavy seas, together with the
big leak rendered the escape OF the vessel
from shipwreck an impossibility. Realiz-
ing that she was doomed the captain
ordered four life boats 60 be lowered, and
into them crowded the passengers and
crew. The boats were soon swept apart
