BATTLED WITH WAVES.
Lake Michigan Boats Have an
Exciting Experience.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Exciting expert
ences during a storm on Lake Michigan
last night were reported by passengers
who, having started to cross from
South Haven, Mich, were either COM
PEELED to return to the Michigan side
or to fight the waves and wind through
out the night.
The steamer Darius Cole, carrying
two thousand seasick people, due here
last night, reached port at daybreak
today. She had been driven twenty
five miles out of her course by the
storm and the captain had much
trouble in quieting the panic stricken
passengers who clamored to be landed
on the shore anywhere soas to escape the
watery grave which many of them be
lieved awaited them and their boat.
The steamer a. 3. Taylor, with TWEEN
ty passengers, battled with waves for
hours and was in the end compelled to
put back to Holland, Mich, after hav-
ing lost a life boat in the storm. 1t is
declared that the passengers all but
mutinied before the captain would re-
turn.

LELAND IN CHICAGO.
Visits His Old Friends at National
Committee Headquarters.

The following is from a Chicago pa
per:
Habit is often well developed in old
political war horses. They might be
compared to horses who have spent
their lives in the service of the fire de-
partment. They are always ready to
run under the swinging harness when
an alarm comes in. Cyrus Leland, jr..
for years national committeeman from
Kansas, true TO this instinct, showed
up as of yore in the Republican nation
al committee rooms this week. No
alarm had been turned in, but he felt
due and came. David w. Mulvane was
not here and Leland and his successor
did not meet.
Leland spent a day greeting his ac-
quaintances and spreading the good
news from Kansas. Party leaders
know Leland well and have high re-
gard for his political opinions and when
he made the statement, without any
qualifications, that Kansas would go
Republican this year there was consid-
cradle satisfaction expressed by Vice
Chairman Payne and the other mem
bers of the committee. Leland ex-
poets to be in Chicago several times
during the campaign and promised to
visit the headquarters when in the
city,"
