In moment he saw the wrecked ship
sliding past the Campania and he rush
ed on deck. All was confusion on the
deck. The Campania passengers had
rushed out of their staterooms without
dressing.
Women were in Mysteries" he add
ed. Il saw two sailors of the wrecked
bark clinging to an overturned life
boat They were two of those saved.
Five others, | am told, were found to-
gether, clinging to spar. When we
struck the bark the wooden topmast
began to fall. The lookout in the
crews nest thought the whole mast
was going. He jumped for his life in
to the sea. He was picked up by a
lifeboat. The apprentice boy from the
bark told me that his captain, upon
rushing on deck. cried: Every man for
himself The Norwegian jumped
from the bow of the bark. He was
undoubtedly crushed in the collision.
This boy also said it was a miracle
the Campania had not been blown to
pieces. The boy said: We were carry

States troops seeing service in that
country have given
Great Impetus to Recruiting
In this city. Nearly all the regiments
in the service are below their quotas
and the officers in charge of the re-
cruiting stations have received orders
to redouble their efforts to secure men
for the regiments now in the field.
Most of the applicants, many of them
veterans of the Spanish war, want to
be assigned to regiments under orders
or likely to receive orders to go to
Asia. No difficulty is anticipated by
those in army circles in securing all
the men necessary.

AS TO MEDITATION.

The proposition that the United States
shall offer its services as mediator be-
tween England and the Beers has been
made by several exuberant orators In diff
ferent parts Of the country, and has even
been embodied IN formal resolutions by
some fresh statesmen in Congress.
Our government will, Of course, not
commit any such folly.
While we all deplore the war In the
Transvaal, as civilized people deplore war
anywhere, 1t is none of our business as a
nation.
Neither the British nor the Beers have
requested our meditation, and II we
should offer it without being asked, we
should probably receive the rebuke which
our impertinence would deserve.
The president Of the United States
would probably be willing to act as arbi'
traitor II both parties to the Transvaa
conflict should petition him to do so, but
he would make himself ridiculous by Of
ffering to assume that capacity. or al
the slop and slush over the Transzaa
war with which we have been afflicted
the proposition that we shall Interfere IL
the worst.--Journal.

= Yesterday afternoon the Herald OF this
city announced the nomination Of Con-
gresham s. NJ. Sparkman for the Senate.

the idea that the health of that gentle

ment was made In ringing manner. and
In political circles here met with hearty
approval. and caused much discussion.
Tampa today thinks more Of Congress-
man Sparkman than ever before. and he
was always her favorite. Every man here
believes him TO be the man for the place.
and they are all willing to do and work
for him. no matter what the work is re-
guIred.-Tampa correspondence In Times

We, for West Florida, second the nom
nation Of Mr.. Sparkman; he is our choice
for Senator for the next term anyway.

Mr., O'Brien In the House. for this district
and Mr.. Davis and MIR. Talliferro In the
second district, Florida will surely be In
