THE WRECK OF THE ARloSTo.

II the Crew Had Waited Until the fsreeohes
suoy Had Been Put into Working order,
All Would Probably Have Been Saved.
Washington, Dec. 26.-The deplor.
able loss of life resulting from the
wreck of the British steamship Ariosto
near Cape HaGteras Sunday morning
has called fresh attention to the efforts
repeatedly made by the Lifesaving
Bureau for the Navy Department to
put navigating officers of vessels In
possession of all the information at
hand having for its object the saving
CT life in cases of this kind. The fol-
lowing warning bearing on this subject
is printed in italic at the beginning of
descriptions of lifesaving stations:
Masters are particularly cautioned,
| IL they are driven ashore anywhere in
| the neighborhood of the stations, and
especially on any of the sandy coasts,
where there is not much danger Of
remain on board until assistance arrives,
and under no circumstances should
they attempt TO land through the surf
in their own boats until the last hope
of assistance from the shore has van
| ished. -
| Superintendent KimEall of the Life
saving Service, in speaking of the dis
aster, said: 81 firmly believe that, if
the crew of the Ariosto had waited
until the breeches buoy had been put
| into working order, all of the crew of
| the vessel would have been saved. This
| is shown by the fact, that, after il was
| in operation, 1T was used with excellent
effect, resulting in the rescue of nino
of the crew. The Lifesaving Service is
| strenuous in its efforts to assist in every
way possible the lives of those who
suffer shipwreck on our coasts, and tho
reports that are constantly received
show the good work that is Being dono
| In practicing, our crews have thrown
the hawser by which the breeches buoy
is taken aboard the ship distance Of
695 yards, or over 1000 feet, while in
cases of shipwreck it has been fired
the Ariosto was about 800 feet from
the shore when she struck; and had
the men only been patient and waited
until the line had been thrown, all
could have been rescued. In addition
to the shore work, the regulations pro-
vide that all American steamers shall
carry life lines and guns for firing
them, thus providing means for COM
municating with the shore. This is
especially desirable and efficacious
when the sea is rough, and when diff.
Guilty is experienced in reaching vessels
from the shore owing to high winds
and for other reasons. Mariners also
are provided with set of instructions
to be followed in cases OF shipwreck,
which provide for cooperation with
the crews of the life-saving stations. +"

MIR. REEDS vALEDICTORY.
Farewell and Thanks to His Repub-
Iican Constituents.

Portland. Me. Sept 1.-THE Press will
print tomorrow morning the following:
ITO the Republicans of the First Maine
District: While I am naturally reluctant
to obtrude myself again upon public at
tention. even here at home 1 am sure
no one would expect me to leave the First

out some words expressing to you my ap-
probation Of your friendship and my graf
itude for your generous treatment Words
alone are quite inadequate, and must
appeal to your memories.
During three and twenty years of po-
litical life not always peaceful, you have
never questioned a single public act OF
mine. Other men have had to look after
their districts. My district has looked aft
er me This, in the place where l was
born, where you know my shortcomings
as well as | do myself gives me right
to be proud of my relations with YOU
No honors are ever quite like those which
come from home.
1T would not be just for me to withhold
my thanks from those Democrats who
have so often given me their votes. This
friendship l can acknowledge with all pro-
prie,y even in letter 10 Republicans. for
both they and you know that have never
trimmed a sail to catch the passing
breeze or ever flown a doubtful flag.
"Ofnce as a ribbon to stick In your coat
Is worth nobodys consideration. Office as
opportunity is worth all consideration.
THAT opportunity you have given me
untrammeled in the fullest and amplest
measure, and 1 return you sincerest
thanks. If l have deserved any praise IL
belongs of right 10 you.
Whatever may happen ! am sure that
the First Maine district win always be
true TO the principles of liberty, self-gov-
ernment and the rights Of man.

Tammany Tiger Born in Atlanta,
lie Says.
Atlanta, Sept. i7.-Dr. l.. G. Broughton
tonight, at the Baptist Tabernacls
Church, denounced the committee Of 40
that nominated a municipal ticket Friday
night, and charged that they were put
forth by a combination of the Consolidated
Street Railway and the Whisky Assocfa-
ton, and that over 100 members of that
committee were directly interested in the
Consolidated. and that two-thirds Of them
owned houses occupied by the denizens OF
the half world.
According to DIR. Broughton, the coEa-
mittee Of ten recently appointed from the
body of his church was a political detec-
tive bureau. for he said they were men
with eyes and ears, and that they were
not afraid to tell what they saw and
heard and that they would call upon all
candidates to declare themselves upon the
moral questions that would confront this
city government.
lie referred to Tammany as the most
corrupt organization In the world and
said that when the committee Of forty
first met In the Prudential. which was
later enlarged TO 140 that he then wrote
down on a card which he read 20 the au-
dience that a young Tammany tiger had
been born in Atlanta, and that the Con-
solidated and the whisky association was
at the accouchment.
Hair of Or. Broughton's sermon was a
political speech on the local municipal
situation which he excused by saying that
In so doing he was preaching the gospel
and that he was only execratng the mod-
ern Herods
OF the candidates named by the con-
mittee of 40 he said that some of them
were good men and that some were not.
though he did not indlvidualize them. As
the doctor called no names, the whole
committee and its ticket rest under the
asperslons cast upon portion, and iG
may be that he will be called to task for
these wholesale utterances and be made To
name those to whom he referred.

HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION.
Was Very Orderly and Condemned

London, Sept. 17.-Although the weather
to-day was beautiful, the mucR-talked of
demonstration in Hyde Park London,
against the verdict of the Rennes court
martial recOndemning Capt Dreyfus on
the charge of treason, proved a spiritless
affair.
few thousands collected around the
seven platforms, but they were mainly
boys, servant girls and idlers. Very few
Jews or foreigners were i'm evidence. The
large force of police in attendance had
nothing to do, as demonstration could
not possibly be more orderly. The speak
ers were in no way influential
Most of the interest centered around the
platform where Mr.. Hatfield, a relative
of Dreyfus, delivered an address. The
speakers deprecated boycotting a whole
nation "for the sake of five judges and a
scoundrel."
At the various platforms resolutions
were adopted expressing sympathy with
Madame Dreyfus and adherence for the
generals who figured at the trial. tender
ing congratulations TO Emile Zola, Lieut..
Col. Picquart, Maitre Labor, Maitre De-
mango and others, and appealing TO
France to release and rehabilitate Drey>
fus before it should be too late These
were carried with the greatest enthusl-

Various flags were displayed, including
the Stars and Stripes and the tri-color of
France. A French lady was removed for
continually crying ''Vive Parmeer' and a
man was elected for shouting 'Vive Mer-

1T is NEGATIVE AND DEFIANT.
TransvaaI Situation May Have to BE
Considered Afresh.

Considered Afresh.
London, Sept 1S-The reply of the
TransvaaI government to Mr. Chamber
lain's latest note is said to cover nine
pages. 1t is eminently of the negative
and inconclusive" character which Mr..
Chamberlain declared would compel the
imperial government to consider the situa-
ton afresh. It practically repudiates suzer-
ainty, reverts to the seven years fran
chise and declines TO give equality to the
Dutch and English languages in the
NOlksraad.
In short, it is politely negative and de-
fiant. The full text may not be avail
able for day or two, but it viii not
change the aspect of affairs. The cabinet
will probably meet on Wednesday or
Thursday 10 consider the next step.
Some Press Comments.
The Morning Posts says:
"The Beers mean TO fight That is the
plain English of it,"
The Standard says:
"The TransvaaI note is unsatisfactory,
and, indeed a dangerous composition. 1t
might be going too far TO say that the last
hope Of peace has vanished or that diplo-
macy has said its final word but it is idle
to deny that the rulers Of the Transvaal
have brought their country very close to
the brink of a disaster which the British
government has done its best to avert"
The Daily Mail says:
"Presdent Krugers defiance has termi-
mated a long period of unrest and uncer-
tainty in South Africa, for whatever may
he The issue of the present situation, one
thing is certain, that dualism in South
Africa will end forever"
The Daily Chronicle says: "We regret
that the Boers by rejecting fair offer
made in fair language have taken a line
giving fresh point to the argument Of
their enemies that President Kruger Is
a shifty and impracticable politician, III
on.y to be spoken to across a line OF
bayonets."
These extracts fairly represent opinion
of the press in London. All the papers
characterize the attempt to represent Con-
vngham Greene as suggesting the Trens-
vaals former proposals as mere shifty
prevarcations.
