SEVEN SHlPWRECKED SAILORS

 the Waves.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Seven shipwrecked sailors were landed at Norfolk last wednes- day by the tug Walter A. Luckenbach, &C., cording to a letter received from the cap tain today by her owner, Thomas Lusken- bach. = '
 The men were picked up by the tug about 100 miles above Winter Quarter lightship on Tuesday night, drifting about in an open boat in very exhausted condition. Their spokesman, Capt. Glass, was under stood to say his vessel was the schooner Everett Hale, bound from Punta Gorda, Fla. for New York, with phosphate.
 She was struck by heavy gale on Sum- day night off Wash Woods. N. C., and by another on Monday night off Winter Guar ter Lightship, and between them the vessel was strained to. such an extent that she sprang leak and sank rapidly, giving the men hardly time to launch small boat and leap into 1t.

DOLE IS VERY MODEST.
He Would Rather Not Appear in the Con
 gressional Halls.

Washington, Jan. 28-There has sbten talk among members in both houses of a resolution of welcome to President Dole and an invitation to visit them in ses- sion, as was done when King Kalakau was here. This was generally assented to in conversation by members on both sides as an act of personal courtesy to the president of a republic.
 But Minister Hatch hearing of 1t quietly signified to them that President Dole. while highly approaching every suggestion of courtesy would greatly prefer that 1t be omitted. When Dom Pedro. the emperor of Brazil was here. he made similar sug- geston when a similar courtesy was pro- posed.
 President Dole ever since his arrival in this country has shrunk from all displays. From Chicago he telegraphed the state department requesting that the proposed military escort which was to meet him at Washington be dispensed with and in San Francisco when General Shafter, conn mander of the military division proposed to give him a military escort from the hobel to the station on his departure for the east, he earnestly asked that all such forms and ceremonies be abandoned.

SCATHlNG WORDS FOR LINDSAY.
Kentucky Senate Passes the Resolution De-
 manding His Resignation.

Frankfort, Jan. 28.-The resolution re- questing the immediate resignation of United States Senator William Lindsay came up in the Kentucky senate this morn- ing, 1t having passed the house yesterday.
 The resolution was also adopted by the senate by a vote of 25 to 10, Senator John- son of Clinton being the only democrat voting against the resolution and the re- publicans voting against it. The tempera- ture of the senate chamber was decidedly warmer than that of the house yesterday when the resolution came up, and hot speeches were made
 Senator Charles J. Bronston of Fayette said Lindsay should be branded as traitor that all might know him; that he did not represent the democratic party nor any part of it, and that if he was an honest man he would come home, resign and retire to the shades of private life, where his treacherous course had relegated him.
