bereen. Saturday. 2
Cd. The Rutherglen, it is added after Ieav-
ing New York, encountered a series of
gales, which raised noun famous seas. The
steamer labored so heavily that her cargo
shifted. but the crew were able to right
her for time until she was thrown upon
her beam ends, her cargo shifted again.
and she listed so much that her sails. set
to steady her. were sometimes submerged
Matters went from bad to worse until Tues
day.
The steamer was filling with water when
she was sighted by the Hermanos. which
vessel Immediately headed toward her
1t was decided to abandon the Ruther-
glen and Capt English tried to lower away
life boat Two of the boats were smashed
against the steamers side and washed
away before any success attended his eff
forts The third life boat succeeded in
getting away from the steamer. but was
stove in and sank just as it ran alongside
the bark.
The struggling men were hauled on board
the Hermanos and were subsequently land
ed at Crook Haven. from which place they
were forwarded to this city.
The boats of the Hermanos made five
trips before all the members of the Ruth

the difficulty of this task may be gathered
from the fact that it took nine hours to
rescue all the crew of the British steamer
The latter numbered twenty-eight men in
all.
Captain English reports that on the We'd

Mr.. SOVEREIGN'S AMBITION
Said to Be Aiming at the Presidency Of the

his candidacy for President of the United

1t was exclusively mentioned in yeSter-

ton of field worker"
Being free now from tae responsibilities
of general master workman. and having
none of the former difficulties to contend
with, Mr.. Sovereign has a clear way before
him, and the delegates to the general as
sembly openly acknowledged last night
that Mr.. Sovereign is an avowed candidate
for the presidency of the United States
when Mr.. McKinley's term expires, and
the movement of making him field
worker" is the initial step of the general
assembly of the knights of Labor to
launch Mr.. SOvereign'S boom.
While 1T is said that Mr.. Sovereign and
W. j. Bryan are on the friendliest terms,
the supporters of Mr.. Sovereign say he
will make every effort to land the prize
which Mr.. Bryan seeks to secure. He

his views and the general agitation of the
principles which the knights of Labor
advocate.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November 15-The

Sovereign has no such idea said one Of his
closest advisers this morning. land there is
absolutely no truth in 1t. If the presidency
was offered to him. l suppose he would ac-
cept it. as almost any other man would do,
and the Knights OF Labor would glory in
him. but he has no designs on the presi-

for the purpose of giving him more time
