Long Over Due Ship Finally Reach
es Port.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 28-The over
due Elder Dempster line steamer Lake
Meggantic employed under contract in
carrying the Canadian mails, arrived
this evening and before separating the
passengers presented Captain Taylor
and his officers and crew with a testi-
monial of appreciation of their man
agement of the ship during it's pro-
longed and perilous voyage of Is days
from Liverpool.
On the second day from Queenstown
the steam steering gear broke down.
It was repaired at intervals again and
again during the voyage with the in
sufficient appliance at hand and with
immense labor and exposure on the
part of the crew and engineers as
often as it broke away again and for
a great part of the voyage the ship
was at the mercy of the wind and in
unusually rough weather, even for
this tempestuous month or the north
Atlantic. At length a temporary
steering gear was rugged and served to
bring the vessel into port.
The ships officers. report the voyage
one Of the worst in their experience.

FRENZIED BY JEALOUSY,

Chicago, Nov. 29-Mrs. F. A. Hud-
son, formerly Belle Walker, of Mime
apolis, was murdered today by her
husband, who then attempted suicide.
The Hudsons lived at the Vickery
hotel and the crime was committed in
their room. Hudson was insanely
jealous of his wife.
After inficting three bullet wounds,
any one of which would have caused
death, he crushed the lifeless
woman's skull with a hammer, and
then fired two shots into his W head.
The shots failed to kill and he tried to
crush his skull with the butt of his
revolver. In a desperate struggle he
was overpowered by attaches of the
hotel, and removed to a hospital
where it is said he will ecover.

OUT OF THE QUESTION
HANNA EMPHASIZES HIS DECLINA
TON TO BECOME PRESIDENT.
Says He Is Growing Old and Expects to
Retire After His Senatorial
Term Expires.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 28-A COM
mittee representing the M. A. Hanna
Republican club of this city, which
recently passed resolutions endorsing
M. A. Hanna as a candidate for the
presidency in 1904, called upon the
senator TODAY at his office to present
the same.
President Gallagher of the club
acted as spokesman. In an appropriate
and strong petition speech he told why
the club members believed the senator
had we'll earned the exalted honor OF
being the chief executive Of the United
States. The speaker referred to Mr..
Hanna as the hercules Of the republi-
can party. If Mr.. Mckinley had been
defeated, he said, Senator Hanna
would have been held responsible. The
victory was a remarkable one, al
though not unexpected and the credit
for it lay with the man who is en-
titled to his reward.
The reception accorded the commit
tee by Senator Hanna was most
cordial. In replying to his visitors he
laid stress upon his appreciation Of the
honor conferred upon him and said
IT believe in my heart that I have
only done my duty to my country and
to my people. I seek no public office
and seek no reward. Although
deeply appreciate the feelings g
pressed by my neighbors and my
friends, it cannot be the browning act
of my life to sit in the presidential
chair. I am growing old and expect
to retire after my senatorial term ex'
pires. Your kindness and c%onsidera.
tion in what you deem to be a proper
course deeply touches me, but my can
didacy for the presidency is absolutely
out Of the question and is not even tc
be thought off,

Do Your Own Marketing.

In nothing more than marketing does
the old truism, IF you want anything
done well, do it yourself" apply. The
woman who buys her own provisions
is mistress Of the situation in more
ways than one. The butcher, the bak-
err and the candlestick maker all try to
please the patron who knows what she
wants and refuses to be pleased with
anything short Of it. A little woman
was heard to say to a reliable butcher
the other day: Il have just moved into
the neighborhood and want a butcher
that l can trust to give me the worth
Of my money and to advise me about
the best and most economical cuts Of
neat. l do not want to pay for fancy
cuts. but l want the best Of every
thing"
"That," said the butcher as the wom-
an left. lis the kind of a customer that
an honest man likes. But woe betide
the dishonest dealer who tries to get
the better of her. She is toe wise to be
ooled."-New York Tribune.

"Few persons are perhaps aware
that a ting of beauty is a common

florist to a reporter. Kept In a warm

beautiful plant. 1t Is in a similar way
that the peanut planters, test their
seeds every year, beginning even early
in the winter, and the facility with
which the seeds will grow in this way
has suggested to many southern flower
lovers the possibility of making the
useful peanut an ornamental plant for
the parlor or sitting room window.

NOTED RIVER MAN DEAD.
Passing of an Early Day Crptain of the
Mississippi. 81

Quincy, Ills, Nov. 20 - Captain
John G. Glenn, 80 years old, died here
today. He commanded several Mis-
sissippi steamers in the early days and
once had a dispute with President
Andrew jackson, who was a passenger
on Glenn's boat from Louisville to
Nashville. Jackson rendered a $40
note of the United States bank for his
passage and Glenn declined to take it
because jackson had just refused to
renew the charter Of the United
States bank at Philadelphia.
Captain Glenn was born in Pitts
burg, and when a school boy there was
asked to make the address of welcome
to Marquis de Lafayette, who was
visiting America.

Minneapolis, Nov. 29-Thomas
White, a character we'll known to the
police, was shot in the head tonight
by Police Sergeant Moussou, whom he
had tried t. kill. White may recover.
A detective had arrested him on
suspicion of having committed numer-
Gus high way robberies and had called
a patrolman to his aid in subduing
White, who was found at his room in
the residence of Henry Bush. Sud
denly White attacked the officers, upon
whom he sprang with drawn revolver,
beat them down and fed. He met
Moussou and sprang upon him with
drawn revolver. Moussou struck at
the man and as the revolver was turned
towards White, just as the trigger was
pulled, White fell with a bullet in his
head, it having entered at the ear,
ranged downward and lodged in the
neck. When he was taken to the po-
lice station he was followed BY Mrs.
Bush, who threw her arms around his
neck and repeatedly kissed him and
called him her darling. Bush paid
no attention to the scene merely re-
marking that White had for a long
time been master of the house, having
usurped his place while he was away.
Upon White, slung from a belt
around his waist, was a big revolver.
He has been partially identified as one
of the men who have held up, robbed
and shot or beaten into insensibility

Mashed Sweet Potatoes.

White potatoes are considered almost
an essential part of every dinner, al
though often poor in quality If the
summer is especially wet. When little
al be done in cooking to improve the
vegetable, a substitute may be tried in
the guise of mashed sweet potato.
These should be boiled, then pared and
mashed. with salt and pepper and a
little butter and cream dashed over the
top as it is pressed down into the serv-
ing dish. This may be set in the oven
a moment before sending to the table
for the formation Of the slight crust
usually desired. No one who has not
eaten this preparation can imagine how
palatable it is.

New York, Nov. 29-Thanksgiving
day was celebrated in Greater New
York and vicinity in old fashioned
style, though the day, as far as the
weather was concerned, was by no
means ideal. Heavy clouds and a
raw, damp atmosphere prevailed and
in the afternoon a hard rain came to
annoy those people who from pleasure
OF necessity were out of doors. AS
usual many people spent a portion OF
the day in the churches and there was
the usual, complement of Thanksgiv-
ing sermons and fine music.
All charitable and penal institutions
gave their inmates bountiful dinners
and the numerous missions through
out the city fed the poor. #24A

little cripples in her children's home
at Wood Crest.
The inmates of the state prison at
Sing Sing were excused from work for
the day and had an extra bill Of fare
at breakfast and dinner, turkey being
served at the latter meal. The men
in the condemned cells enjoyed the
same fare as the other prisoners.

HOW THE CRUISER YOSEMITE
WAS SUNK.
CAUSED DISASTER
Dragged Leaving Cruiser
He1pless-Severa1 of Her
Crew Drowned.

Remey has as yet received no official
report Of the loss of the United States
auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, which
parted her cables and struck on a reef
off San Luzon d'Aprai, island of
Guam, during a typhoon November
10, and was afterwards driven to sea
by the gale, where she sank, Novem-
Der Is.
The United States cruiser Newark
will sail for Guam tomorrow to inves-
tigate the circumstances Of the disas-
ter.
According to advices received here
from unofficial sources the wind was
blowing from the southeast on the
early morning of November 49,, at the
rate of 100 miles an hour. The
Yosemite had two anchors down, but
both were dragged a mile across the
harbor entrance. At II a m. she
struck the reef and was stove in for
ward. She drifted for an hour and
struck a rock near Somai, carrying
away her rudder and damaging her
propeller. .-
The launch had been sent to find
shelter but it capsized and the occu-
pants were drowned. They were Coxs-
vain Swanson, Seaman Geo. Urbel,
Engineer MacBinf, and Firemen G.
l.. Davis and Joseph Anderson.
The storm abated somewhat at l p.
M, but was then renewed with vio-
lence from the southwest. "A dozen
of the crew attempted to carry a line
ashore, but their boat capsized. The
occupants managed to reach land.
Meanwhile the Yosemite was being
blown to sea, her forward compart-
ments being filled. The boiler and
engine rooms were full Of water, but
the pumps kept going.
The cruiser was kept afioat until the
afternoon of November Is when the
United States collier Justin, which
had also sustained damage to her
anchors during the storm, was sighted.
The Justin fastened to the Yosemite
two chains and two cables, but these
parted. Finally IS of the Yosemite's
crew, 26 marines and 9 officers, were
transferred to the Justin, together
with $68, 900 Mexican. The Yosemite
soon plunged head foremost and sunk.
The members of the crew were pro-
vided with temporary quarters at
Agana, which suffered badly from the
hurricane.
The typhoon was of unprecedented
violence. Many are reported to have
been killed or injured.
At Agana three were killed and 10
died of exposure. The town of
Moranjan was destroyed, 80 of the
to%wnspeople being killed and many
others injured. It is believed that
there was considerable loss Of life, and
practically all crops were destroyed.
Many dwellings in Agana were de-
m%olished. Mrs. White, wife of Major
White Of the Marine corps, the only
white woman in Agana, took refuge
with her husband and Commander
Seton Schroeder, naval governor of
Guam, in the cellar of the governors
mansion, which was already partly
filed with water.
The United States steamer Solace,
Captain Herbert Winslow, which left
San Francisco November 2 for Manila,
was expected to arrive at Guam No

of Governor Schroeder and the other
officers, .....

SCHEME OF GOLD DEMOCRATS.
To Capture the National Committee
and Eliminate Free Silver.

ST. Louis, March 16.-Ex-Governor
William ]. Stone, democratic national
committeeman from Missouri, said
today he believed there was some truth
in the statement that there is a move
ment among eastern democrats to elect
Tom J. Johnson, of Ohio, chairman of
the national committee and eliminate
silver from the platform.
To a Post Despatch representative,
Governor Stone said: Some sort of a
scheme is on foot, although l am not
able yet to say exactly what it is.
From information that came to me at
Washington and since, l gather that
the end which the Palmer and Buck
ner democrats are trying to attain is
h capture of the organization of the
party. Their scheme seems to be to
get into the convention as delegates,
and, with as little noise as possible,
but by means of adroit manipulation
control as many delegations as posi-
bic with the ultimate object of con-
trolling the convention and capturing
the national committee They will b.
for Bryan but they want the ~organiZa-
ton.
speaking for myself, while I am
very glad to see the Palmer and Buck
ner democrats, who deserted the party
in 1896, come ack to it, / do not be-
lieve in offering a premium for their
return"

THE DISCRIMINATION SUIT.
Amended Answer Of the Republicans
Filed-Its Chief Points.

Louisville, KY, March 16.-The
amended answer Of the republicans in
the Beckham-Taylor consolidated suit
involving the governorship, was filed
with Judge Field in the circuit court
today. 1t has beer in preparation by
Ex-Governor Bradley, Judge Yost and
other attorneys since Judge Fields re-
cent decision, declaring his court had
no jurisdiction in the case and that his
court could not review the action Of
the legislature in seating Beckham.
The amended answer Is made princi-
paliy to perfect the record before the
case is taken to the court Of appeals
and, IL possible, to the United States
supreme court. The power of the leg
islature to determine contests for the
offices OF governor and lieutenant gov
ernor is held to be judicial in nature
and subject to the same restrictions
and limitations to which judicial pow
er is ordinarily subjected.
The next most important contention
looks to attacking anything done by
the legislature while Governor Taylors
proclamation ad%journing h legisla-
ture to London, KY. was in force.
