A celebrated Judge was once trying a
case where the accused could only un-
derstand Irish, and an interpreter was
accordingly sworn. The prisoner said
something to the Interpreter and the
latter replied. What does he say?"
demanded the Judge. Nothing, my
lord" How dare you say that, when
we all heard him? Come sir. what was
it," my lord" said the interpreter,
beginning to tremble, at had nothing
to do with the case" "If you don't an

did he say?" "Well, my lord, you'll ex-
cuse me, but he said, Who's that ould
woman with ,the red bed-curtain round

body present roared. what did you

uncomfortable. II said, Whist, ye

John II. Mclean, though standing on
a platform endorsing the Chicago plat
form Of 1896, in an Interview, solemnly
declares there are no national issues
at stake, and insists on local issues, and
that, If elected, he will wage a relent-
less war against bosses. This might
be read without smile did 1t not come
from a professional political boss. In
at least one dIstrict-the one just across
the river from here, national feature
is Incorporated by the election of
successor to the late Representative
Danford. Again, Mclean, in view OF
the platform and his claim that all his
interests are in Ohio, steers clear OF
well known fact that he is the head of
a monopoly in Washington, which has
the gas consumers of that city by the
throat. 1t balances well with the dec
larations against corporations and mo-
nopolles.

Manila, Nov. 14.-The United States
cruiser Charleston was wrecked off
the coast of Kamiguin island, just
north Of LuZon, on Nov. Z. Every one
of the crew was saved, but the splen-
did cruiser is in great danger Of break
ing to pieces on the rocks.
The Charleston has been assisting in
the blockade of LuZon and was doing
patrol duty about the northern ex-
tremity of the island. Nov. Z, during
a heavy rainstorm the vessel struck.
The crew was taken off in small boats
and lowed by launches to Lingayen
gulf, where the disaster was reported
to the Helena.
Captain George w. Pigman, the COM
mander of the vessel, Immediately
started for Manila to report to Admir-

ena dispatched from Lingayen by Ore
gOn- to Kamiguin; due today"
There Is discrepancy In the date of
the wreck Of the Charleston as given
in Admiral Watson's message and in
the press dispatches. 1t is probable
that the 7th inst. is correct, and Ad-
miral Watson's dispatch was confused
in transmission. A careful reading Of
the cablegram from Admiral Watson
convinces the officials that there is
fair chance Of saving the Charleston.
They say that the name Of the ship is
painted about three or four feet below
the rail. This is an indication that the
main deck Is above water, which would
make the work Of pumping out the hull
much easier. If she is settled down
aft, as reported, there is less danger
of injuring the bottom further by
pounding. Much depends, however, on
the weather, as the wreck lies in the
full sweep of mOnsoons which prevail
at this season.
