CHATTER IT.

The captains cabin was m exceed ingly comfortable one. with a large chart table in the mlddie, cushioned transoms around the sides, and sey- eral luxurious rattan chairs. It was ssituated upon the hurricane deck di- rectly under the wheel-house, and had large windows instead of the usual ports, so that we had an uninterrupted view of everything that was going on. While I smoked an after-dinner cigar end enjoyed the breeze which blew through our quarters. the strange and rapid succession of events that had sesulted in my being bound for the most forgotten corner of the earth's surface struck me very forcibly.

 That's a pretty formidable lot of ifs I should say. How many people do you suppose know anything about this particular wreck?"
 Tots of them; they were great un- wieldy tubs, always loaded beyond their carrying capacity. And, by the way, that reminds me of an instance which I happen to know about, more or less directly. Last voyage, Padre Jolian, who has been in charge of the mission on Saipan for 30 or 40 years, came home with me. The old chap is a good deal of student, and has the history of these islands at his fnger-ends- judge of rum and sherry I ever saw. I used to fill him up with good liquor, just to see him enjoy it and hear the stories he told when the stuff got into his blood. Among other things, he told me one night about the loss of Nuestra Sonora de Sevilla in 1769 on the Santa Rosa Reef, somewhere south of Guajan. The padre was pretty mellow, and guess said more than he meant to, for I never could get another word out of him about the wreck. It seems that native in one of the flying proas--the han rH of them-found an unconscious officer lashed to a spar several miles out at sea. and turned him over to Fray Ig- nacio, who was then running the church at Agana, when he came in. The fray and his brother priests sue ceeded in restoring the man long enough to get his account of the wreck, together with the approximate position of the galleon when she struck; then he died. Being method ical old chaps, they jotted the story all down, and Fray Ignacio signed it. Then, like the pious old imbeciles that they were, they buried the document, with several others, in the fray's sarcophagus when he got through with life. ! believe he and his box are now in the crypt under the church. The story seemed straight enough, and I guess there's no doubt of there being two or three millions of good rusty money lying at the bottom of the ocean, south of Guajan, to this day. It might as we'll be in the Bank of England as far as we are con cerned. Another case of life's little ironies, isn't it?"
 How deep is the water there?"
 "Well, the Alert got from 2,0o0 to 4,O00 fathoms near there in 1Ss1-say two to four miles. Why, were you thinking of diving for it?"
 Not exactly. I meant the depth on that reef"

had been lost. About 100000 dam
age was done.

Unidentified woman, said to have
been caught by the portion of the
Leonard building wall That fell into
the street.
Williams. G., employe of the Leon
ard Seed Co.
Several persons had narrow escapes
from death and two were injured.
The cause of the collapse is I'M
known, some claiming that there was
an explosion in the store of S. L. Leon
ard. dealer in seeds, others saying that
the walls fell without apparent cause.
The generally accepted theory is that
there was an explosion of dust in the
seed store.
The crash came with less than one
minutes warning and Mr.. Leonard,
who noticed the walls of the building
shift slightly, called to his employees
to run for their lives and they all
rushed for the street, the last of them
getting through the doorway just in
time After reaching the street the
women employees of Leonard rushed
into the home OF Mrs. Agnes Whelan,
1875 Lake street. Mrs. Whclan, how
ever, noticed that the house was in
danger and refused to allow the WO-
men to remain. Less than half a
minute later the east wall fell and the
house, together with the adjoining
one, was buried beneath the ruins.
Adjoining Mrs. Whclan's house and
next to the seed building stood a two

FUNSTON VS.. IRELAND.
Kansas General Instructs His Attor-
neys 10 Sue the Archbishop for AL
Iegcd Criminal Libel.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Nov. 2.-Gen.
Frederick Funston. who is en- route
home with the mustered out Tween
tieth Kansas regiment, has wired his
Topeka attorneys to bring proceed
ings against Archbishop Ireland, of
st. Paul for criminal libel because of
statements attributed to the arch
bishop in a recent interview. Gen.
Funston also instructed his lawyers
to begin criminal and civil prosecu-
tions against the Monitor, Catholic
paper of San Francisco, which first
printed the story.
In recent interview in Chicago,
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as say
ing that Funston had been charged
with Iooting Catholic churches in the
Philippines. The charges alleged to
have been referred to by the arch
bishop were made by the editor of the
Monitor. soon after the landing OF the
Kansas troops in San Francisco. The
Monitor stated. it is said, that Fun
Ston had taken two magnificent chal-
ices from a certain Catholic church in
the Philippines and had sent them
home to his wife. Archbishop Ire
land. in his Chicago interview. was
quoted as calling upon Funston tn
DENY the truth of the article and sue
the editor of the Monitor for libel. or
the public would be obliged, against
it's will. to believe him guilty of the
criminal acts of which he has been
accused.
st. Paul, Nov. 2.-Archbishop Ire
land appeared somewhat surprised
when he heard that Gen. Funston was
reported as about to sue him for libel
on account of statements attributed
to him in a Chicago interview. He
said he had made no charges agains
Gen. Funston. but had in conversa-
ton expressed the opinion that the
statements of the San Francisco pa
per charging the general with having
taken a priests robe from a Philip
pine church, should be denied by Gen.
Funston at once, lest n failure to deny
led to a wrong impression. The arch
bishop admitted the substantial accu-
racv of the Chicago interview. but de-
MED that he had made any libelous
statements.
