A FOOLS ERRAND.
Silver Men Claim to Have No Faith
In Woiuott,s Mission.
mercy.

in Woicott's Mission.
Washington, Jan. 5.-The consensus
Of opinion among silver mel.. as well as
he so-called bimetallists in the ma
tional capital, is that Senate Wolcott
of Colorado has gone abroad on a wild
goose chase. 1t is not believed by those
who know The prevailing sentiment in
England that he will be able to bring
about any arrangement for an interna-
t1onal monetary conference.
1t Is extremely probable that the Col
orados senator has gone on this mission
at the request of President-elect Nc
kinley. 1t is a fact, however, say those
who claim to know the situation. that
Senator Wolcott visited Canton for the
express purpose of interesting the presi-
dent-elect in this matter, and suggested
to him that he was willing to make this
trip and that he would be able to report
back to hin the prevailing sentiment in
European countries before Inaugural
ton day.
1t is not believed possible that Mr..
Mckinley believes that Wolcott's mis-
sion will be successful. That he con-
sented, however, to a him to make
the trip at his own expense is consid-
cred to be a fact.
Senator Wolcott, having deserted the
silver cause in the last campaign, his
standing. in Colorado at any rate, is
anything but good. He is compelled to
do something. or at least endeavor to do
something. to pacify the silver men in
his w state II retire from public life
ut the end Of his present term. Should
he be successful in securing the agree
ment of the foreign powers to send dele
gates to The proposed international
monetary conference, 1t would be a
great feather in Wolcitt's cap. He has
4 great deal to gain and doubtless real
lies full we'll that he has very little to
lose, whether Or not his mission abroad
Is successful or unsuccessful. He sailed
for Europe Saturday with very little
hope Of success.

Still Insist on Protection.

Huron, Jan. dentists throughout
the state are calling attention of the
legislature to the necessity of a law pro-
tecting the profession-and the general
public-against travelling tooth car
penters." In an address to the general
assembly the dentists pray that citl-
zen may be protected from the imposi-
ton of incompetent dentists and the
wholesale destruction of valuable teeth
and prevent the itinerant and so-called
painless quack who cares for nothing
except to rob citizens Of their money
and give little or nothing in return
There are scores of people in South
Dakota whose experience with the class
referred to has been anything but plea
SAINT. 1t is probable the legislature will
give attention to the petition and not
only enact laws for favorable to them
but also embodying measures hat will
protect the medical profession and the
public against the too frequent visits OF
self-constituted Specialists"

PLAGUE SPREADS IN BOMBAY
Many Flee From the City---PeopIc
Ignore Sanitary Rules.

WINS
London. Jan. 5.-Advices received here
from MONDAY show that the plague,
which is supposed to have been import
ed into that city from Hong Kong,
where it ragged with great violence
about about a yea ago. is rapidly ex-
tending among the natives, who thus
far have been the principal sufferers.
Thousands of the residents have fled
rom the city, bur their exodus is more
thai counter-balanced by the arrival
Of large numbers of victims of the fam
inc, who are pouring into the city in the
hope of either obtaining work or at
least falling among the charitable and
obtaining relief from the pangs of star
walton. These, weakened by the want
of food, quickly fell victims to the dis
ease, which thus far has baffled the eff
forts of the physicians to control it.
The sanitary conditions OF the native
towns also tend to spread the disease,
but the natives, with their usual fatal
ism, are not to be taught the benefits
Of cleanliness in their h%abltations, and
accept the plague as a visitation from
their gods. 1t is thought tina unless
sanitary regulations can be enforced by
the civil authorities it will be necessary
to call upon the military for assistance
in compelling the natives to observe the
health laws.

LOSS OF THE COMMODORE.
Crane, the Novelist. and sixteen
Others Saved.

Cincinnati, Jan. IA commercial
Tribune special from Jacksonville, Fla,
says:
Seventeen men accounted for out of
t~wenty-eight on the Cuban filibuster
Commodore, raj the record here last
night, with a slight chance of eve
more yet alive. Five men came ashore
at Daytona yesterday noon Captain
Murphy, Stephen Crane, the novelist,
the cook and two sailors. One OF the
latter. William Higgins, of Rhode Is
land, died soon after reaching land from
the effects of the high surf. One of the
survivors says the tug sank at z o'clock
Saturday morning, twenty miles off
New Smyrna, caused by o leak which
was discovered at about 8 o'clock. 1t
is said that a traitor in Spanish pay
was the cause of the leak. He will be
found and dealt with later. As the
Commodore continued to sink, two boat
loads of Cubans. twelve men in all, were
first sent off. One boat containing six
men was capsized and it is feared the
men Were lost. One of the lifeboats
containing nine men was swamped and
a hastily constructed raft was made up
from material thrown to them and they
then disappeared from sight. Captain
Murphy Stephen Crane. the news
paper man, Higgins and sal
lors took to the ten foot boat
at the last moment. An attempt was
made to save the men in the water
around them but the heavy sea and
binding wind made it impossible. For
twenty-four hours they battled with the
heavy sea, constantly bailing, until at
last Ian was sighted. AS they at
tempted to land the boat was capsized,
but after an hours struggle the little
company managed to crawl out on the
sands almost dead. Captain Murphy
saved Mr.. Crane by helping him when
a cramp caught him. Higgins was
struck on the head by floating timbers
and died soon after landing.
Aid was asked from Daytona. as the
Three Friends was the only vessel i'll
port that could stand the seas. The
Washington officials were wired asking
permission to send the tug out even
with revenue officers on board.
Nothing being heard from this, a tel
egralm was sent to Senator Call, and he
replied saying that he had notified Car
Isle and the president. Nothing was
heard from the department until late in
the afternoon. j.. NJ. Bars telegram
begging the department in the name OF
humanity to allow a vessel to leave,
having brought the required permission,
and at $40 last night the Three
Friends steamed out on her GRAND of
