STEAMER PARIS.

The first intimation of the vessels
striking the rocks was a slight grating
sound. which was followed by sec
ond and more pronounced shock. The
lookout shouted that there was some
thing looking ahead, but before there
was time to reverse the engines the
ship had gone on the rocks, 200 yards
from the shore. Assistance was sum-
moned by means of rockets and the
coast guards promptly telephoned to
the life saving station for boats.
A majority of the passengers were
not aware that an accident had hap
pened until they were called up by the
stewards. On reaching the deck they
found the ships boat In perfect read
mess for their reception. The sea was
perfectly calm and the only discomfort
that the passengers experienced was
caused by the slight rain that was fall
ing at the time. Owing to the calm
ness of the sea the boats could be man.
aged with entire safety. Perfect or
der prevailed aboard the vessel. Cap
tain Watkins stood on the bridge Civ
ing orders, and his calmness of de-
the passengers. In accordance with
the Instructions of the captain, the
women and children were the first to be
taken off the ship. Such perfect order
was maintained that a passenger de-
scribed the scene as simply slow pro-
cession of women and children walking
in single file to the boats.
When dawn broke everyone on board
was relieved to find the shore on one
side and llfebOats lying near by on the
other. The vessel lay with her head to
the southwest, the reversing of her
engines having put her broadside on to
the rocks.
The dangers of the vicinity were
strikingly brought home to the passen-
gers and crew by the masts of the
wrecked steamer Mohegan, which were
sticking out of the water and by a
miserable bell buoy which tolls almost
constantly as though sounding a death
knell
When the Paris struck the tide was
within an hour of the food and this
proved insufficient to raise her off the
rocks. Hundreds of people visited the
scene during the day.
1t is stated that those in charge Of
the Paris were so perfectly confident
that they were pursuing the proper
course that the vessel was steaming Is
or 10 knots an hour when they struck.
There will be little danger to the
steamer If the long calm continues but
should the wind veer to the east or
southeast the consequence might be
serious.
Gangs Of men on lighters have gone
to the stranded steamer to take off the
belongings of the passengers. 1t is
reported that two forward compart-
ments of the Paris are full of water.
The officers log determines the posi-
tion of the Paris and the position of the
wreck of the Mohegan shows that the
Paris was even more out of her course
than the Mohegan, she having passed
between the Mohegan and the shore,
and then when the mistake was dis
covered having changed her course in
the hope of clearing the rocks, thus mi
raculously escaping the Manacles.

lures of other states senators by direct

cradle work The committee does not
propose to wait until the meeting OF

hope to have public opinion so aroused
on the question that when legislatures
meet one or two years hence they may
be prepared to act intelligently.

QUEER EXTRAOlTION CASE.
Mexico Asks Uncle Sam to Surrender One
of HIS Citizens.


WASHINGTON, May 23.-The new
Mexican ambassador, Senor Manuel
Aspiroz, will soon present to President
Mckinley a request for the extradltion
to Mexico Of Mrs. Rich, for the murder
of her husband, Martin Rich, also an
American. She attacked her husband
in Mexico, but he died on American
soil. This will be the first case under
the new extradition treaty recently ne
gotiated between the United States and
Mexico.
Rich, who was old and wealthy, lived
in Juarez Mexico, near the border, His
wife decided to get rid of him and Sc
cure his money. She stabbed him In
the back with a dagger. Death was
not instantaneous. To escape the Mex
lean authorities the wife took the dy-
ing man and fled with him to FL Pasc
de Tojas. in American territory. Mexi-
can officers came hot on her trail.
Rich did not die until a day or so after
reaching the United States.
The Mexican consul in the town made
a requisition for the possession of the
prisoner, but the woman set up the
claim of American citizenship. The
Mexican government sent the papers
to Ambassador Aspiroz. Though the
murdered man died on A rerican soil
the stabbing was done in Mexico. Mex
leo declares it has right to demand
the return of such prisoner.
The fact of the prisoners American
citizenship leaves the case in a diff
ferent light. This is the first time the
United States has been called upon tc
extradite one of its own subjects. There
is a clause in the new treaty placing
the extradition of a person who is q
native of the country from which IL
is desired to take him under the dis
cretion of the president.

READING, Pa, May 23.-The prin-
cipal topic of discussion in Reading is
the coroners inquest into the horror on
the Philadelphia and Reading railway
in which 80 people were killed and 60
injured. Coroner Rothermel has de-
cided that the board of trade rooms arc
entirely too small, and the use of the
main room in the court house, which
seats 1000 people, has been secured.
The railway company will be rep
resented by some of its best counsel,
and, while the general details of the
disaster are old to the public, yet it Is
expected that new facts will be ELECTED,
and unusual interest is manifested be-
cause there are many conflicting ru-
mors as to what the official investiga-
tion will disclose.
There are numerous reporth as to
the particular employees who will be
censured, but there is general public
opinion that the result of the investiga-
tion will be the condemnation of a
method of railroading which makes
such an accident possible rather than
the blame of any particular individual

CURRENCY nefOnM.
Scheme Adopted by the House Repub-
Iican Caucus Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-It is under
stood that the house Republican eau
Gus committee appointed to frame a
scheme of currency reform has agreed
upon a measure along the following
lines: The redemption of all obligations
of the government in gold on demand.
Greenbacks when once redeemed for
gold to be reissued only for gold. Per-
mitting national banks to issue notes
to the par value of their government
bonds deposited in the treasury, in
stead of 30 per cent as at present. Per-
mitting the minimum capital of ma
tional banks to be $4,000 instead of
$500 as at present
This plan is much less comprehen-
sive than ardent advocates of general
currency revision have urged, but was
adopted because harmonious agreement
on it was possible, which was not the
case when more radical measures were
suggested
