AMERICAN FLAGS BURNED.
Drunken British Stewards on an
American Liner Do 1t.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-The World"
will say tomorrow: Captain William
Radle and Chief Officer Beckwith of
the American line steamship ST. Louis.
which arrived in port yesterday, spent
much of their time during the trip
across the Atlantic investigating a
story which made every American on
board indignant. The story relates to
the burning of an American flag by
British stewards aboard the steam
ship during the passage.
The investigation has been nearly
completed, and it was announced on
board the st. Louis yesterday that as
a result several members of the crew
will be discharged from the service of
the American line to-day. The burn
ing Of the flag occurred on Christmas
Day at the dinner of the stewards. The
celebration was in full swing. One of
the stewards lighted a match and held
it to the American flag.
"Burn it," some of the stewards are
said to have shouted. Then followed
general tumult. The stars and stripes
We're burning from every corner.
The matter is still under investiga-
tion," said Second Officer Campbell.
Il am sorry that the matter should be-
come public. 1t was simply the act
of lot of drunken hunkeys. Action
will be taken Tomorrow"

assaults, and some highly interesting
II not sensational incidents are antici-
pated. The records of individuals are
likely to be very much in evidence. 1t
is not expected that the debate will be
concluded this week, as Saturday has
been set aside for paying tribute to the
memory of late Representative Wright
OF Ssachusetts. General Grosvenor
of Ohio, who has been one of the MAIN
stays of the opposition to the law. Is
very desirous of participating in the
debate, but owing to the Senatorial
fight how in progress in Ohio he will
probably not be able to return until
next week. 1t IS not believed that
there will be any attempt to close the
debate before he has had an opportu-
nifty to make the elaborate speech he
has prepared.
No one seriously believes, however.
that tire upshot Of the present debate
will be the striking out of the appro-
priation for the commission. This
proposition cannot by any means COM
mand the full strength of the opposi-
ton, the leaders Of which think direct
legislation should be enacted to repeal
or radically amend the law. The de-
bate, therefore, will simply be in the
nature of a general airing of views of
the members of the House, the only
practical effect of which will be to
place them on record for the future.

THEY WE'RE NOT DROWNED.
But a Relief Party Managed to
Save Them From Starvation.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 2-Various
reports have been in circulation re-
gardi1g the mine disaster at the mine
of San Jose De Garcia at Guanajuato.
At tirst it was reported that thirty-ive
miners had been drowned in the lower
workings of the mine. Authentic but
brief reports have just been received
which show that the number as stated
were at work in the lower levels when
they noticed that the water was be-
ginning to come in slowly. 1t soon be-
gan rushing in in great volume. and
the men made rush for the ladders.
They stayed within reaching distance
of a higher level, but could get no
higher.
When the time came for the shift to
come to the surface and it did not ap-
pear, the run1or spread that all the
men had been drowned. A relief force
volunteered to go to the rescue, but
1T was deemed impossible to give aid.
and nothing was done more than to as
certain that there was undoubtedly a
flood in the lower workings. Four
days PASSED, and naturally all hope
was abandoned, and the families of the
miners gave way in despair and the
news was given out that all the men
had perished in the party. Finally a
relief party, still working, but without
hope of reaching the place where the
miners had sought refuge, rescued
them. The men were in a bad state OF
exhaustion from lack Of food, but all

aged to make his escape from the house
with bad burns on the neck, face and
hands, but he is not seriously in
jured.
Adolph Reich's home was at 317 Ger
mania avenue, near the Hudson County
boulevard in the Hudson City district.
He was a. real estate agent and well
to do, living in pleasant house of
three stories
1t is believed the fire broke out from
heater in the basement and it worked
its way up to the third floor, where the
sleeping apartments of the family were
located.
Henry Reich said it was late when
the family retired, the evening having
been spent in entertaining New Years
callers. Early in the morning he was
awakened by shouts. Running intoAthe
hail. he saw the smoke and flames in
the lower hall. His father was there.
and they managed to get out of the
house in their night clothes. Young
Reich ran down the street and gave the
alarm. When he returned his father
was nowhere to be seen, but one of
his brothers, Sigmund, was there, bad
ly burned. He was taken to a neigh
boring house, where he said that some
one had awakened him, and that he
had jumped through the binding smoke
ane HaSEes down the staircase and out
into the open air.
Several engine companies responded
to the alarm, and in a few minutes the
fire was out Then began the search
of the house. The rays of the lanterns
disclosed three charred bodies against
the wall at the foot of the stairs They
were those of Adolph Reich. his daugh-
ter Tiliie and little Gustave The fa-
ther had fallen upon the daughter and
his son was in his arms. They We're
burned almost beyond recognition.
In the basement of the house the
searching party stumbled over the re-
mains of Ida and Albert, two black
ened corpses with arms intertwined.
Portions of the limbs had been entirely
burned away, and the faces were hor-
ribly distorted
The mother was found in the dining
room. She was but slightly burned,
and undoubtedly died from suffocation.
The bodies were sent to the morgue.

Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting
account of what he considers re-
markable cure of acute stomach
trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the
use of the new discovery, Stuart's
| Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gasses in the stomach; he had pains
| like rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullnes and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became effected,
causing palpitation at night.
gave him powerful nerve tonics
aud blood remedies, but to TO pur-
pose. As an experiment / finally
bought fifty cent package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at drug store
and gave them TO him. Almost inn
mediate relief was given and after
he had used four boxes he was to all
appearance fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloati6g after
meals, the appetite was vigorous and
he has gained between 10 and IL
pounds in weight of solid, healthy
flesh.
Although StUart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are advertised and sold in drug
stores yet consider them a most val
liable addition to any physicians line
of remedies, as they are perfectly
harmless and can be given to children
or invalius or in any condition of the
stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
vegetable and fruit essences pure pep

Without any question they are the.
safest, most effective cure for indiges-'
tion, biliousness, constipation and all
arrangements of the stomach how
ever slight or severe.
