AN ML-FATED VESSEL.
The MOheEan's Engines Defective and
Her Boiler LeaIkY.

LONDON, Oct 15.-Harrowing scenes
were witnessed to-day at the London office
of the Atlantic Transportation Company, to
which the wrecked steamer Michigan be-
longed A number Of women tainted when
the extent of the calamity became known,
and there was constant stream of tele-
graph boys running to and from the office,
seeking for information taking messages
to anxious inquirers. The Mohegan, it is
now SAID, has been an9ill-fated vessel from
the start. 1t is added that she was only
bought by the transportation company
when it's boats had been sold to the United
States government during the war. She
was formerly the Cleopatra, of the Wilson
& Furness-Leyland line and was bought
direct from the Hull ship yard. She never
ran for the Furness line, and only made
one voyage out and home This, it is as
serted, was most unsatisfactory, and friends
of the crew say that her engines were de-
fective and that her boilers leaked. She is
further alleged to have arrived at New York
in such a condition that she was sent home
empty, and her return voyage took several
weeks, during which she drifted a whole
day and night owing to the trouble with her
engines. For the past two weeks the
steamer has been in dock undergoing re-
pairs, but the managers say she was in
perfect condition when she left port on this,
her first voyage under her new name. It is
asserted. however that in twenty-four
hour trial last week her performances were
very unsatisfactory. and the crew did not
wish to go on her on account of the pre-
vious defect to. her engines. 1t is surmised
here that her engines broke down and that
the vessel, in the rough sea and heavy gale
which prevailed, drifted on the rocks. The
wrecked steamer was commanded by Cap
tain Griffiths. Her chief officer was Mr..
Couch, her second officer Mr. Cole and her
third officer Mr.. Hindmarsh.
Tt is given out here that the officers and
crew of the Mohegan numbered ninety-six,
and of these thirty-three are known TO have
been saved.

Catholic Church May z, 1897, at which time

that, knowing their power TO influence the
people over whom they had ecclesiastical
jurisdiction. with intent to injure the
read in ali the pui Isss' Of Of the he
diocese forbidding all true members
of the Roman Ca holic Church from asso-
citation in the slightest Gegree with the
placed under the ban of the church. Father
Kozlowski- asserts that through this letter,
which was read, as directed, on July g.
1898, he has been put to great inconveni-
ence and has suffered financial loss through
the lessening Of his receipts in parish col
lections has been prevented from making
advantageous commercial transactions

special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-Secretary Long
has taken a highly important step looking
to the development of an ideal American
navy. For some years back Congress has
been authorizing the construction of war
ships in a somewhat haphazard manner and
without definite object in view, except to
increase the number CT vessels This has
been found to be handicap and an embar-
rassment. With every new Congress new
plans were brought to the front and con-
gressional action has consequently been
ragged and unsatisfactory 1t is Secretary
Longs ambition to signalize his administra-
ton of the Navy Department by COM
uniting the government to a definite
plan, policy for the upbuid-
ing of the naval establishment To
this end he has designated Commodore Hig-
ginson, formerly of the battle ship Massa-
chusetts. to formulate such a policy for in
corporation into his report to Congress
The commodore has been directed to give
the matter thorough study and to analyze
all plans and suggestions which may be
made to him with a view of reporting a pol
icy which will extend over period of ten
to fifteen years. and which in the end will
result in the creation of a satisfactory and
complete navy. One of the plans which
meets with favor in the Navy Department
is for the construction of sixteen additional
battle ships twenty-five additional armored
cruisers and one hundred torpedo boats and
torpedo-boat destroyers,
Commodore Higginson is recognized as
one of the very best authorities in naval
construction to be found in the United
States He knows all about the American
navy and all that is worth knowing about
the navies of the other great powers or the
world. Consequently his views are much
more valuable in defining a broad general
policy for the upbuilding of a naval estab-
lishment than would be those of narrow
specialist. 1t is confidently believed that
the result of his work will be plan which
Congress can adopt and which the people
will indorse Whatever plan may be re-
ported, will give every detail which Con-
gress will ask, including the aggregate cost,
the time that will be required to make the
proposed increase in our naval strength,
the cost of maintaining the navy at various
standards, and also such other facts as may
have bearing on the subject in a practical

Two hearts can make love affair, but it
takes three, at least, to make a home and
one of them must be that of a baby. The
young married couples that start out in life
with the idea that children are nuisances,
and that they do not want and will not
have Them. are the kind that you read
about every day IN the newspapers-in the
divorce column. A home without children
is not a home. God and Nature never in
tended that there should be a place called
home that did not resound with the patter
of childish footsteps.
There are tens of thousands of homes
that are childless because of the ill-health
of the wife and would-be mother. There
are tens of thousands of other homes child
less because the little ones have died al
most as soon as they were born. In both
cases DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescription is
sovereign remedy 1t acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that
make wifehood and motherhood possible.
1t makes them we'll, strong, vigorous, virile,
and elastic. 1t does away with the dangers
CT maternity. 1t banishes the usual dis
comforts of the expectant period and
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain
less. II insures the little new coIner's
health and an ample supply OF nourish-
nnant. The prospective mother prepares
herself for maternity by taking the Fa-
vorite Prescription . and gives her child a
fair start in life by giving il strong and
well developed body. Thousands of homes
that were childless, to day echo with
babies laughter, and bless this great medi-
cine Thousands of women who were
weak, nervous, respondent invalids, are
to-day happy, healthy wives and mothers

Ro,Ier. in Good Condition.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia. d. Franklin. OF
the Atlantic Transport Company said to-
day: There is no truth in the report that
the Mohegans boilers were defective and
that her condition was not satisfactory. The
vessel was in first-class condition. During
her first trip from this side she took twen-
ty-two days, and for that reason it was re-
corted that she was overdue. This was not
SO. The ship was going only at one-half
speed and we knew that she would not ar
rive on the other side before she did On
her arrival she was completely overhauled.
AS it was deemed advisable to give her a
trial before she sailed again, her date OF
sailing was put forward. and the Manitou
trip we received a cable from the ships en-
gineer and officers saying that the Mohegan
was ~errect do not believe the wreck
was caused by any defect in her machinery

CHINESE METHODS.
Boxes OF Machinery Allowed to Soak
in Mud a Month.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15-United States
Consul Goodnow. at Shanghai, reports to
the State Department that the Chinese
Rave set up a mint at Cheng-Tu, and in
doing so exhibited in a marked degree Chi
nese methods. The machinery came from
an American mandatory at Bridgeton, N.
j., and was duly delivered at the head of
navigation on the Yang-Tse river. The Chi
nese authorities allowed the boxes to lie in
the river for a month. and then, without
cleaning, took them to Cheng-Tu, a two
months journey. When the boxes were
opened they were found to be filled with
mud, except where the rats had made nests.
The MACHINERY was finally got together.
but the dies were so badly rusted that they
would have been condemned in America.
The Chinese, however, made no objections
10 the imperfect places in the coins, APP
parently thinking them additional safe
guards against counterfeiting.
