Battle with Adverse Gales Hundreds Of
Miles Out on the Sea.
Had Volunteered to Obtain Assist
ance for Disabled Steamer Six
Hundred and Fifty Miles From
Port, and Were Picked Up by a
Dutch Vessel After Long and
Exciting Experience.

VICTORIA, Dec. Mail advices by
the steamer Warrimoo state that the
steamer Darius arrived at Adelaide on
November Sd, after an exciting trip,
through the breaking of her tail shaft
while on her way from Melbourne to
Ceylon The second officer, Reginald
Lyon Inslone, two passengers and hve
Lascars, who volunteered to obtain as
sistance for the vessel after her pro-
peller had gone, sailed in one OF the
ships boats August 18th for Padang,
a port of the Sumatra coast, just OoO
miles from her position at that time.
For twelve days and thirteen nights
the little company battfed with adverse
gales, accompanied with almost 1nces-
SAINT SQUALLS of rain, interspersed by
several calm and intensely hot days.
They finally sighted "a steamer bound
west August Both. She passed very
close to the boat, but although the en-
sign was flown upside down, and other
distress signals were made, absolutely
no notice was taken.
The men were still $50 miles from Pa
dang, and were forced to continue their
battle with the elements until Septem-
Der 1st, when they attracted the alten-
ton of the Dutch steamer Real. Inc
reScuing steamer was so small tnat tne
yoyagers were forced to abandon their
gallant little craft which had carried
then, within ITO miles of Padang. Inc
party was taken to Calcutta, via Ba-
tavia and Singapore, arriving at Cui-
cutta the same day as the Darius was

publicans to look for anything in that
quarter. If the certificate goes to Tay-
lor, it is certainly probable that the
matter will be taken to the Legislature,
where GOebel may win out.
The Republicans, however, are by no
means a unit in favor of abandoning
the fight at the door of the Legislature.
Some Of them are vehement in their as
sertions that they will not abandon the
fight until there is no possible chance
of Taylor being Governor. Governor
Bradley has evidently made up his
mind that somebody will receive a GER
tificate of election, for he was busily
engaged in packing up his private prop
erty in the State House all day,
preparatory to a return to private life.
'They are making my last days my
hardest days." he said, ''but l guess
there will be no trouble. There are too
many sensible men on both sides to
allow anything of that kind. 1 really
don't see how anything can be done
to keep Mr. Taylor from the chair. He

METHODIST CONGRESS.
"Denominationalis and Catholic
ity" Discussed Yesterday.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-'Denomination-
alism and Catholicity' engaged the at
tention of the Methodist Episcopal
Church Congress at the opening of its
fifth and last days session at Lindell
Avenue Methodist Church to-day.
Rev. ]. A. Duncan of Knoxville,
Tenn, was the first speaker. He was
followed by Rev. 1. c. Cartwright of
Mexico.
The addresses on this topic were brief
and were followed by a presentation OF
the present needs of the ministry by
Professor Borden P. Brov ne of Bos-
ton, one of the most learned delegates
in the congress.
The question of the higher criticism
of the Bible was touched ON in the
course of Professor Brownies remarks.

speaker, who made the assertion that
they, in many cases, We're the real h.
retics.
wise men, said the professor, "hold
first to the past SO far as it is good,
and look to the future for new truths.
Concerning these new truths, the
speaker said that in themselves they
were disturbing and embarrassing I'M
til assimilated and that in searching
them out the whole aim should be to
turn men to God.
Professor Browne pleaded for a
broader view of religion, asserting that
religion is not a mere doing of this or
that, but principle of all doing. The
trend of his argument was that doc
trine does not change; that only mans
conception of doctrine changed, and
that after nearly 1900 years the church
still believed in God as the Father AL
mighty.
Ethics of Church Membership was
discussed by Rev. Thomas H. Arm
strong of East Palestine O., and Hand
ford Crawford of st. Louis.
At the afternoon session Religion
and Righteousness" was discussed by
Rev. NJ. E. Elliott of Pottsville, Va,
and Professor Copeland of Ann Arbor,
Mich.
The congress adjourned this after
noon, after having been in session five
days, attended by some of the most
eminent divines in the denomination.
AS the congress possessed no executive
authority, nothing was done except to
openly discuss questions affecting

crate the allegations and offer reso-
luton for their investigation by a spec
ial committee = This will give the
House an opportunity to act in the first
instance upon the question OF postpon-
ing the administration of the oath until
the allegations have been investigated.
The resolutions have not been formu-
lated yet, but they will include the in
vestigation Of the charge that Mr.. Rob-
erts' alleged conviction of violation OF
the Edmunds Act in 1889 renders him
ineligible by the terms OF that Act;
whether the fact that he is an avowed
polygamist renders him ineligible, and
whether the State of Utah in electing
him has not violated the compact by
which she obtained Statehood.
Mr.. Taylor says the precedents for OBJ
jecting to the swearing in of men,
Der duly elected and bearing proper
credentials are numerous and in point.
Among others are the well known cases
of Proctor Knott, Boyd Winchester and
John NJ Rice of Kentucky, who were
elected to Congress shortly after the
war, and also were charged with in
eligibility on the ground of disloyalty.
All these precedents were cited at the
| conference tonight. These precedents
| lead to the conclusion that objection
can be properly made to the swearing
in of member where there are appar-
emily well grounded reasons for be-
lleving him ineligible The resolutions
will provide for the appointment of a
special committee of either seven or
nine, to be appointed by the Speaker.

CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS.
Not Likely That He Will Even be
Sworn In.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lat confer
ence of about twenty-five prominent
Republicans, held at the Capitol to-
night, it was decided that the eligibility
of Representative Roberts of Utah to a
seat in the House had been investigated
and determined, and that pending the
decision he should not be permitted to
take the oath of office.
This decision was arrived at by those
present without a dissenting voice.
Representative Taylor of Ohio, who will
nave charge of the matter in the House.
explained, after the conference had ad-
journed, that this proceeding does not
involve a prejudgment of the case, but,
irrespective Of party, will afford the
members an opportunity to vote after
thorough investigation and complete
presentation of the case for their con-
sideration
Mr.. Taylor had made a study of the
allegations and presidents, and Ere
sented them at length to his colleagues
He offered plan Of procedure which
was agreed to after general exchange
of views. The procedure is to be as
follows:

STEAMER WRECKED.
The Weeott Strikes on the Rocks
Two Lives Lost

EUREKA, Dec. 1.-The steamer Wee
Oft lies total wreck on the south jetty
of Humboldt Bay, having struck the
rocks there, and of the twenty four souls
on board all are safe but two. One of
the passengers, Mrs. Carmichael, a resi-
dent of Ferndale, Cal, and Gus Nelson,
a seaman on the Weeott, lost their
lives
Mrs. Carmichael was the first person
the life saving crew tried to rescue.
She was in the basket which was on the
life line, run to the doomed vessel from
the jetty. A big breaker struck the
basket as she was almost in the arms
OF her rescuer, and she was swept
away. Her body was not recovered,
nor will it be, unless the currents send
it ashore
Gus Nelson, a sailor, was killed by
the falling of a spar which struck him
in the neck
The Weeott went on the rocks at $50
this evening. She had laid outside the
bar all the afternoon waiting for a
smooth spell to gain the inner harbor.
At o:3O. though it was low tide, Cap
tain Burtis determined to make the at
tempt. He barely entered the passage
when great breaker struck the vessel
astern, sweeping off her upper works as
though they were cardboard, flooding
the engine-room, putting out the fires
and leaving her helpless. In a. few
moments the big breakers swept her in
on the south side of the ietty. where
the great seas swept over her.
The bar was unusually rough, and it
is almost a miracle that there is a sin
gle survivor. To the bravery of Mate
Morgan is largely due the rescue. He
plunged into the terrible breakers and
managed to get to the rocks of the
Jetty, climbed upon them and then upon
the piling, carrying a life line with
him. Soon the life saving crew ar
| rived, slung their basket and rescued
the others with the exception of Mrs.
Carmichael.
The Weeott was owned by the N. H
3 Steamship Company, otherwise
Charles P. Doe & Co. of San Francisco
When the Chilkat was lost on this bar
about year ago the Weeott took her
place.

tor of the district which he represents
