Stowarways' Awful Torture.

tSan Francisco Call
From death in n shipwreck to death
by starvation and thirst in a steamer
cold storage rooms seems stretch.
Jacobson and Harry Christensen near
ly met their doom from both such
causes, and that within the last three
weeks. On December 10th the schoon-
er Vesta was totally wrecked near the
Carmanah light, and had II not been
for the heroism of Mate George Cen
ereauX every soul on board would have
persisted. He carried a line through
the boiling serf to the shore. and by
means of 1t the shipwrecked sailors
reached place of safety. The wounds
and bruises of jacobson and Christian
sen received on that occasion can still
be seen on their bodies.
After reaching Seattle some of the
men came home overland, but the sail
ors in question slowed away on the
steamer Umutilla- They got in the
cold storage chamber on December 80,
Mt 8 a. M, were sealed up at Port
Townsend and did not get out of their
prison until anuary 2, at 4;l5 p. m.
They were then more dead than alive
and had to be carried on deck. Their
tongues We're swollen and lacerated
from licking the sweat from the mast
in order to allay their thirst. and they
were so weak from hunger that they
could not stand. Chief Steward Cur
tbs saw TO II that they got both food
and drink. and when the Umatilla
Docked yesterday morning both the
men were able to go ashore.
IAN that suffered during our lives
did not compare with what we had to
endure during the past three days,
said Jacobsen on board the steamer
yesterday. 1.-The Vesta was caught in
the gale that wrecked the steamer
Cleveland, and we had terrible time
of it, Waves were washing over the
boat continuously. and had 1t not been

through the breakers. we would all
have been drowned, As 1t was. Chris

at Seattle.
From where we went ashore we
walked to the lighthouse, where our
clothes were dried and food given us
From there we went to Neah bay in n
rowboat, and from there to Port
Townsend. where we were paid on
Christensen and / then went toSeattle,
where we We're sent 10 the hospital
When we were discharged we could
not get ship and no sailor boarding
house would take us In, so we resolved
to stow away on the umatilla. We got
into the forepeak and hid among the
cargo. but on the way to Port Towns
end It got so cold we crept into place
where we We're protected from the wind.
That was the freezing chamber and
there was n lot of trunks and vallscs in

ened by the crew closing mp the place
In which we We're hiding. The baggage

New York, March 23.-The opening
of the stock market showed declines
all through the list, industrials leading.
Losses were generally confined to frac-
lions. Sugar opened down Il, but
quickly recovered. After momentarv
steadiness the downward movement
was briskly renewed and the losses in
some of the inactive specialties We're
quite severe. The furry soon died out
and prices worked upwards again until
the general level was above the opening
quotations.
Rumors of a probable delay in con-
gressional action on the Cuban question
to allow time for negotiations with
Spain caused n covering movement
which stiffened prices all around. The
rally reached a point or over in many
stocks. The market yielded u shade
later.

TWO FRAUDS EXPOSED. Man and Woman Victimizing Mem bers of the Caledonian Club.

After the meeting of the Caledonian Club had adjourned Friday night the members got to talking among themselves and it soon developed that several of them had been victimzed in the same way.
 A man and woman have been calling at their houses representing themselves as natives of Scotland in hard luck Their story is that they are strangers in the city, and the husband being unable to obtain work they and their family were starving. They were compelled to dispose of their wedding presents, and if they could only get S5 as a temporary loan they would leave some of their wedding pres entS as security.
 In most cases they were successful in getting the monev. and it was afterward found that the alleged presents were not worth cents. The club will send out warning to all members to look out for the frauds, who it is said, have been working other cities with the same trick

WELTER-WEIGHT CONTEST. Interest Greatly Increasing Over tn, Coming Contest Between
 Green and Ryan.

sporting circles are becoming greatly interested in the approaching welter- weight contest to be given under the au- spices of the National Club at Wood wards Pavilion on February 25 The contestants are Tommy Ryan of Syra- chhse ana George Green of this city and it should prove highly interesting because tne latter is extremely anxious to re- trleye his lost laurels and the former has no desire to lose those which he has al ready won.
 Ryan arrived here last Thursday even- ing, and that he meant business was eelnced eenf by the fact that. he got up the was in Oakland and training at the Re rance Club. He is boarding at the house 43I 4I Billy Delaney ana rooms with Jeff hries, ha Sa5 anq between the two he is sure. to ne sald: l do not put Green up too cneaply on account of the result of his nattle t,;d With Walcott, because he has other m0re than overbalance that defeat"
 me truth of this statement is seen aESm nshaddm 5ne faet mstot that "a Green won from took Ryan nine rounds to perform the same ceremony. Ryan fought McKeever d. tWenty-round draw, and Green put the a rounds RRtieman RTap bas to sleep in eighteen blliy smith on six occasions, with four draWs, and Green made the latter quit at Carson in eleven rounds. One chance in the constant worry he gives way to when he IS obliged to get down to a stipulated weight. The present contest being at catch-weights will tend to relieve his mind in that regard and leave him fancy free
 Green will probably weigh 154 pounds, while his antagonist will tip the scales at an even 150.
 It is said that after Ryan had donned the gloves with Jeffries in practice, he gave utterance to these words: 'If I had your physique, height, weight and hitting we'd skin 'em all.'' which, of course, was quite tribute to both these opponents of the manly art
