SAVED IN MlD-oCEAN
SIXTEEN SURVIVORS OF WILLIE DE
ST. NAzAlRE ARE SAVED.
The Rescued Were Exhausted, Hav-
Ing been Four Days without
Food or Drink.

London, March 2S.-The British steam
snip Yanaraiva, Captain Weston, which
left Newport News March TO- bound for
Glasgow. arrived at Greenock tonight
The captain reports that on March L.
while in latitude 81. longitude II, he picked
up small boat containing 16 survivors OF
the steamer Vile de st. Nazaire OF the
West Indian line Of the Compagne Gem
erale Transatlantique, which foundered
In the great storm of March on Cape
Eatteras
The survivors had been without food
and water for four days, and were in
state of extreme exhaustion, bordering on
madness. The officers of the Yanaraiva
did all in their power for the unhappy
victims or an ocean horror and finally
learned their story.
They say that four boats were launched,
two taking 30 each, the third II and the
fourth six. The boat picked up by the
Yanaraiva was one that took of 90 but 1S
OF these succumbed to hunger and thirst.
The last the survivors saw of the other
boats was on the day the vessel found
cred, when they sighted two of them LASH
ed together and empty. For some time
after the rescue, the captain of the Yana-
raiva kept an officer at the masthead,
sweeping the horizon with u glass, in the
hope of getting some trace of the other
boats, but there was no sign of them. AS
night was falling rapidly and the sen and
winds were increasing, the vessel proceed
ed. The second officer of the Vile de st.
Nazaire is among the rescued, who will be
taken in charge by the French consul at
Glasgow.
according to the list of the crew of the
VILE de st. Nazaire originally published.
the second captain was Pierre Nuoali, ana
the first lieutenant Andre de Andreis. Nu-
oali is probably the officer rescued by the
Yanaraiva.1

RUMORS OF REAL HEAVY LOSSES.
The japan Mall Steamship Said to lie
Losing Big Money.

Tacoma, Wash, March 2S.-The North
ern Pacific steamer Braemer has arrived
here, bringing Oriental advlces up to
March 9.
The Yokohama advlces state that the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, or Japan Mall
Steamship Company, in opening lines to
London and Seattle had been prepared
to sustain more or less loss, but the losses
have been heavier than was expected.
Two of the chief stockholders, on hearing
that the company had been losing 10000
yen on each voyage, recently interviewed
Mr.. Kondo, president of the company
to learn the actual state of affairs They
then demanded that an extraordinary
meeting of the shareholders be called to
decide whether 1t was advisable to con
tinue the lines or abolish them altogether
because, although they might be consid-
cred n sort of national enterprise, they do
not think II right for the company to
continue running steamers abroad at a
heavy loss.
President Kondo replied that an appli-
cation had been sent to the government
asking that the deficit be made up, and
although 1t has not been taken up by the
cabinet, IL was laid before the diet dur
ing the present session.
The stockholders accordingly agreed tC
walt little before convening an extra
ordinary meeting. Some of the high gov
ernment officials favor granting an an
nual subsidy of 100000 yen to the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha, and a bill to that eff
| feet will soon be introduced.
A private letter received at Hong Konl
| from Manila states that the Philippin,
| rebels captured three guns at the battle
| of Sllag, and that the Spanish genera
| who was In command was killed. Th'
letter says the Spanish soldiers are suff
| ering great prlvatlons and that they arr
| praying and begging for food.

THE POPE is LIBERAL
archbishop IRELAND SAYS LEO is
THE REPUBLICS FRIEND.
Catholics Should BE True to Ameri-
can Institutions and BE Model
Citizens.

Washington, March 23.-Archblshop Ire
land of st. Paul preached tonight at st.
Patrick $ church on Pope Leo XIII. This
is an age, he said, of wonderful social ana
political transformation, of great intel
lectual quality, of great discoveries and
inventions, and, he asked, what is to be
the position OF Catholics towards the age?
Replying to his own question, he said 1t
should be one of sympathy, of jealous CO.
operation and prudent direction. Such, he
stated, is the position of our chief leader,
Leo XIII.
The archbishop said: LEO is the provi-
Dental pontiff given to this church in
this new era of humanity to show that
the church is of all ages, as is her found
err Christ Holding fast to the divine ori-
gin of the church and the types of faith
and morals, Leo recognizes the social and
political changes which are coming upon
humanity, and adapts the human forms
II the church to the new surroundings.
There are Catholics in every country
who more or less conscentiously and Ell
fcctively keep themselves aloof from Leo $
leadership. Thus in France today despite
Leo's repeated admonitions, we see, in the
republican form of government which the
people of that country have adopted, the
representation of law and order and the
legitimate government of the nation, GER
tain Catholics clinging to dead empires
anu llODdlClitSs anu iNlbShi5 W o.
peace to the country and to the church.
There are, we must confess, divisions
among Catholics in America-not, indeed,
in matters of faith and morals, but in ten
dencies and movements and adaptations
of action to modern circumstances ana
surroundings. There should be for us but
one tendency and one movement-these
indicated by the pope. Those who resist
the direction given by the pope are refrac-
tories and rebels. 1t is asked sometimes,
are not Catholics divided in lines of race
Not at all. There is for me no race and
no language. l rise above all such accl-
dentals, and recognize as my brethren all
who work for God and truth. If | differ
from some of them, it is because of their
ideas, not because of their race. Some
self-constituted leaders are too willing to
pose as representatives of that which
they both understand and misrepresent."
The archbishop concluded his discourse
by a reference to the special love of Leo
for the American republic, and to the
duty of Catholics to be models of good
citizenship and loyalty to American in
stitutions.
Mgr. Dol. Val Arrives.
New York, March 2S.-Monsignor Dol
Val, the newly appointed papal delegate

idence of Archbishop Corrigan. 1t was

the representatives of the press until to-
morrow.

Governor of Nevada VIII Net Call an
Extra Session for Lottery Bill.

Carson, New, March 2S.-The town was
elated this morning when the papers sug-
gesting the establishment of a lottery in
Nevada arrived. The proposition was dis
cussed here two years ago, but met with
dissatisfaction. An effort to pass a bill
through the legislature was made, but
was not pushed energetically, and the
scheme was retained a secret by its pro-
moters until after the legislative effort
failed.
Many people expected their appreciation
on the subject today, and said that they
would exert every power to encourage
such a measure. The report was circu-
lated that Governor Sadler would call an
extra session of the legislature to consid-
er the matter, and that he had given his
promise to Dan Stuart to do so.
The governor was questioned this after
noon, and said that the affair had never
been suggested to him.
would you call an extra session of the
Legislature If popular opinion demanded
it?' he was asked.
81 should not" he replied, under any
consideration. l could not do so in JUS
tice to the people of the state. The eX-
pense would be an unnecessary burden
for them to bear, and the agitation would
be simply a matter of small moment to
me. If they wish any lottery in Nevada
they will wait for two years, when the
legislature will meet in regular session.
Personally, l know nothing of the imme-
diate benefits of a lottery in Nevada"

ATTACKED BY A MOUNTAIN LION
Two Men Have n Fierce Encounter
in the Hills.


Boise, Idaho, March 2S.-One of the
most thrilling encounters with a noun
tain lion ever known in this state oc-
CURED near Ola, a few days ago. Chas
Bannister and Jake Woods were passing
along a trail leading from their work to
their camp. There was no thought of
danger in their minds until there was a
shadow in the air and an enormous
mountain lion landed on Woods shoul-
der The impact knocked him over, and
his companion thought he was certainly
killed.
Reaching for a stone, Bannister in
stantly attacked the beast, breaking its
shoulder blade. The lion then sprang on
him, when Woods came to his rescue.
also armed with a rock. AS the lion was
attempting to tear Bannisters throat
Woods struck it on the head and frac-
tured its skull
The creature still fought desperately,
but the men finally managed to kill 1t.
1t measured nine feet from tip to tip, and
1t was found that 1t had leaped 30 feet in
springing upon Woods.
The mountain lion never attacks a man
unless driven to 1t by hunger. The snow
in the mountains probably deprived this
beast of food, and 1t was ready to spring
upon the first living being it saw.

Rltzville, Wash, March 27.-News has
reached here by means of the Grant
County (Wis.) Herald that after Mark w.
Townsend, who was committed on the
charge of murder. had been put in the
Jail and assigned n cell. It came to the
sheriffs ears that some dangerous weap-

axe and a chisel were found. The axe
was an I'D dull one, with a hickory ham
die, which had been cut Off to length
of about IS inches. The chisel was about
eight inches long. large and heavy, and
had recently been sharpened. When the
tools had been placed in the mattress and
for what purpose they were taken into the
Jail are matters of conjecture. Either the
axe or chisel would have been a dam
gerous instrument in the hands of des-
