TWENTY-ONE LOST.
NEARLY ALL THE CREW OF
BRITISH SHIP DROWNED OFF
CAPE HATTERAs YESTERDAY
MORNING.

BULLETIN:
CAPE HENRY, Va, December "a
The weather bureau officials at Hat
teras, n c., reports that the British
steamship Ariosto, Captain Barnes,
from Galveston to Norfolk for coal.
thence to Hamburg, loaded with cot
ton, corn, wheat and meat, stranded
on Ocracoke Beach, six miles south OF
the Hatteras weather bureau office, at
o'clock this morning. The steamship
carried crew of thirty men. Twenty
one men abandoned the steamer and
took to the boats soon after she
stranded. The boats were wrecked in
the heavy seas, and the entire twenty
one were drowned Captain Barnes
and the remaining eight men were
taken from the vessel by Captain Jas.
Howard and crew of the Ocracoke life
saving station. The rescue was effect
ed with difficulty owing to the heavy
sea, the landing taking almost the
entire day. Captain Barnes and the
eight surviving members of the crew
are now being cared for at the Ocra-
coke life saving station. Some water
is making in the hold of the vessel, but
she is still in good condition and prob
ably can be saved if prompt assist
ance is rendered.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December "a
Supt. Kimball, of the life saving
bureau, tonight received the follow
ing:
British steamer Ariosta, Captain
Barnes, stranded at Ocracoke Beach at
o'clock this morning. Twenty-one
drowned, and nine saved in breeches
buoy.
(Signed.) HOWARD, Keeper"
Supt Kimball, tomorrow, will in
struct Lieut.. johnson, of the revenue
cutter service, who is attached to his
Office, to proceed to the scene of the
wreck and make a report of the cir
cumstances attending the loss Of life
This is the practice always followed by
the life saving service when there is
loss of life attending an accident to a
steamer to which the surfmen have
given assistance. The superintendent
believes that the distressing loss of life
is probably due to the hurried efforts
of the men to get away from the ship
instead of waiting until the breeches
buoy could be rugged up between the
ship and shore and their rescue effected.
AS the vessel appears still to be in good
condition, the men he thinks might
have remained on her an indefinite
time before there was any real danger
Of losing their lives. Ships hands OF
deep water" boats he thinks take to the
boats too often, a practice not followed
by men devoted to coast navigation,
who realize the opportunities for res
cue by the breaches buoy.

THE TEmrERANoE QUESTION

Our readers must not think that
we intend to bore them with an es-
say on the thrashed-out temperance
question. The fanatics who insist
on total prohibition and who hope
that "the sale and use Of intoxicat-
ing liquors as beverage will be as
totally destroyed in this city as is
African slavery on the mainland" }"
are the worst enemies of temper
ance. They cannot use good judg-
ment and they cannot understand
that men who have used liquors as
beverages from childhood and grown
up to good old age, strong, healthy
and prosperous, are rot going TO
sacrifice their natural and accustom-
ed diet to save men to whom liquor
is as bad as poison, or to assist in
running a political temperance cam
paign with good fees for the advo.

We would have taken little notice
OF Mr. Gardner's remarks which
shows his ignorance OF the subject
he deals with aud how i'll informed
he il, il he had not made a most
unwarranted attack on the saloon
in which, he claims, no law is vio-
lated, but more young men ruined
than in any other FIVE; owing the
respectability Of that one. III Mr..
Gardner would ask the young men
of respectable families who take a
drink whether their company is
specially wished in the saloon he re.
fers to, he would learn that that is
the place where they get "fatherly"
advice, where they are told that
their space is moro desirable than
their company, and If they get there
''loaded" are "unloaded" into their
carriages or road with an injunction
never TO show their faces again on
those premises. Mr.. Gardner OF
course mentions no name OF the
special saloon which he has selected
for his attack. He wouldn't dare
do it. But we don't think that
vague assertions, cowardly stab.
bing in the back and caut and rot
are the means through which the
question Of temperance will be pro-
noted aud society benefited.

where it is considered quite natural
for woman to enter bsrroom and
take glass oil beer. As far as gam
bling is concerned we don't think
that Mr.. Gardner or his "very best
authorities" can show a single in
stance where a single dollar has been
won or lost in saloon since the
Marshal stopped the use OF dice
boxes. And Mr.. Gardner should
be aware that every owner of a
saloon and barkeeper was more than
pleased at the order because dice
shaking WAS simply nuisance to
those who conduct the saloous.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-09-12

Mr.. Gardner is not alone making
very strong accusation against the
saloons but he is impeaching the
police department, whose duty it
certainly should be to prevent viola
tions OF the law under which the
liquor dealers enjoy their expensive
licenses. Has the reverend gentle
man been around on Sundays and
succeeded in getting even a glass of
wster from any licensed saloon2 We
think not. The barkeepers and own
ers OF those places are only too glad
to have day OF rest after working
every day during the week from $50
a. m. to 11:30 p. m. They are not
haukering for Sunday work. The
temperance advocate insinuates that
gambling is going in saloons, and
that perhaps the presence OF women
and music contrary to law can be
found on tho forbidden grounds, 1t
is true that some OF our missionary
young men who attend the Central
Union Church regularly did show
themselves in the saloons after the
Myrtles won the races, lifted their
voices in what they called song
(musicD and "set 'em up" But it
could hardly be called violation OF
the law. The only women we have
ever seen 10 public saloon here
were tourists, mostly from Australia
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-09-12

Mr.. Gardner admits that our
present license system is the best he
has ever seen and then he makes a
broad assertion to which we decid-
edly wish to take exception, and the
writer knows more about the saloon
business than Mr.. Gardner or any
OF his informants, we don't care who
they are. The reverend gentleman
said: 81 am credibly informed that
all the saloons but one are run in
constant violation OF the law, and
that that one, because OF its known
respectability, is the place where
more young men from respectable
families start in the road to ruin
than at any other five"

kilograms Supplemented by an Or
gent Letter to Have Kansans
Brought Home

; Governor Stanley has supplemented
his kilograms to Secretary AIger with
an urgent letter, presenting more in de-
tail his desire that the Kansas soldiers
be brought home to be mustered out.
The governors letter follows:
Il have received your several tele-
grams relative to the mastering out of
the Twentieth Kansas. 1 have receiV-
ed a cablegram from Funston and Met
out in Kansas.
1.-The people of Kansas are quite
anxious that the regiment should be
mustered out here. There is a general
desire to receive them as a body, and
there is a general fear that this will be
impossible if they are mustered out at
San Francisco. Many of our newSpa-
pers and a great many of our citizens
have been very earnest in this desire.
While this course would be exceed
ingly gratifying to our people, [ believe
the regiment itself should determine the
matter. We are exceedingly proud Of
ippines, and 1 think they have earned
the right to have their request in this
matter granted-whatever it may be-
" our telegram assures me that this
will be done. L believe, however be-
fore the soldiers are asked to determine
this question, they ought to be fully APP
prtsed of all the facts, and know what
benefits will accrue by their being mus
tered out at one place or the other I
would appreciate it greatly if you would
fully apprise them in the matter and
learn their wishes. You are so far re-
moved from the local surroundings that
exist here that 1 am satisfied YOU
could do this very much better than I
could

Kansas Corporations Must Have

TIME FOR REFORM.
People Have Suffered Enough
From Wildcat lcnea~.s.
News Cleaned in the State
House Departments.

The state charter board has refused
to grant charters to about q. dozen new
corporations because their capital stock
and financial standing are composed OF
prospects only.
The law requires that 20 per cent OF
the capital stock of new corporations
shall be paid up, but among those which
have been refused charters there is not
one which has a cent of money to start
with.
For example, one company which re-
ported one million dollars capital stock
did not have a cent paid in and the
members of the board declined to grant
the charter.
These wind organizations are par
ticularly plentiful in the southeastern
part of the state, where the mining ex-
element is sweeping everything else
out of existence for the time being and
new corporations are organized every
day. No money is paid into these or
CARNATIONS as capital stock to start
out with, and the charter board pro-
poses to refuse charters to them.
When these foreign corporations get
into the state without capital stock
they usually last until the stock is sold
to innocent purchasers, then disappear

Makes No Impression on Britain In
Maybrick Case.

New York, May ga special to the

Great Britain has again refused the re-

another application made for her release
by Ambassador Choate, who has just ca

Sincere regret is expressed in official cir
cles that the British government is still
unable to see its way clear TO freeing that
hapleSS woman Despite the discourage
ment attendant upon the reiterated de-
clination of Great Britain to grant the
request of this government, it is the in
tention of the administration to continue
it's efforts in Mrs. Maybrick's behalf.
When Ambassador Choate was given his

directed to leave no stone unturned to

to the British government. He complied
with his instructions several weeks ago,
and the British foreign ofhce consented

sonable time had elapsed, during which
it is presumed the case was reviewed. the
reply was returned. courteous in tone,
that nothing had developed to cause any
change in the conduct of the government
