INTERESTING POINT
Raised by Coming of Laborers From
 Porto Rico.

New Orleans, November 25-A nice point has been raised here by the announcement that the steamer Arcadia of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Line, is bringing here under contract, more than hundred natives of the Island of Porto Rico. The Arcadia is the first steamer put in service between New Orleans and Porto Rico, ana Is now her return trip.
 News has reached the government or fioiaIs here and the steamship company that when she sailed she had as passengers eighty-nine adults and twe1ty-four children from Porto Rico, who have been engaged by planters in the Sandwish Islands to work in the sugar fields. Arrangements had been made with the Southern Pacific Railroaod to carry these natives to San Francisco im- mediately on their arrival, whence they were to sail for Hawaii
 There seems to be some reason to believe that the natives will not be allowed to land here, but be sent back to Porto Rico on the ground that they are coming In violation of the contract labor act of Congress. Im- migrant Inspector Rice has already taken official cognizanze of the matter, and sent telegrams today to Washington, asking what actions he should take in the prem ises. The steamship agents are much wor- ried over the announcement that applica- tion of the contract labor law to those on board the Arcadia Is being considered.

STEAMER ST. OLAF AND HER CREW LOST Wrecked Off Seven Islands in St.
 Lawrence River WAS DRIVEN ON THE ROCKS Carried Seven Passengers and Crew of Nineteen Men-one Body RecoV- ered-Searching Parties Are
 Patroling the Shores
WAS DRIVEN ON THE ROCKS

Quebec, November 25.-News reached here yesterday afternoon that the steamer St. Olaf, which has been eoasting between this port and Point Au Esquimaux in the lower St. Lawrence for the past two years, had become a total wreck off Seven Islands and that all her crew was entirely lost The first dispatch from Seven Is- lands brought but very meagre news and 1t was only late in the afternoon that A. Frazer and Company, owners of the steam CT, were informed of the extent of the disaster. Besides the nineteen men on the steamers crew 1t was learned that seven passengers had also perished.
 The St. Olaf was an iron steamer of 305 tons and was built on the Clyde at Port Glasgow in 1882. She was valued at $40, 900 and insured for about $2OOOO. The last news heard of the St. Olaf up till today was that she had left Sheldrake on Wednesday and shortly after the signal station dispatches reported rought wealth CT with gales and snow and it is supposed during one of these gales the St. Olaf ran ashore on the rocks at the entrance of the Seven Islands the dispatch states that she was wrecked on Boule Island.
 The officers and crew of the St. Olaf were: P. T. Lemaistre, captain; Louis Ca ron, first mate; Charles Boudrean, second mate; F. T. Veit purser; Joseph Trem- play, steward; Joseph Roy cook; Art La mar, Joseph Gauthier Sam Doyle, William Blainey, seamen; Amede Vigneautt, lamp trimmer; Joseph Arezeneau, cabinboy; Gus Lafleur mess room boy; Eugene Belanger, chief engineer; James Bounelle, second en- gineer; Wilfred Belanger third engineer; Odilon Cormier, John Gagne, Thomas Doyle fremen.
 Passengers: Louis Gagnon of Pentecost, on his way to Quebec; Joseph Bacon, Clar- ence Bond, Jermy Chince Mike Mahar, Sheldrake, Napoleon Beaudin, St. Johns river and Miss Marie Page Thunder river. The latter's body has been found.
 As soon as the news of the wreck reach ed Seven Islands a searching party went out to attempt to rescue any of the ship wrecked people if possible, but this was impossible as every one aboard the vessel seems to have been lost News was ceiVed here tonight that the St. Olaf Is lying on the rocks and at low tide two feet of her hull can be seen out of the water. The residents of Seven Islands are searching the shores for bodies, but have not returned up to o'clock this evening.
 The place where the steamer was wreck ed is about seven miles off Seven Islands and about 300 miles from this port.

BRYAN IN CHICAGO.
Held a Consultation With Charles A.
 Towne and others-cheerful

Chicago, November 25.-William Jennings Bryan arrived here yesterday morning from Lincoln. He drove to the Auditorium Annex, where he did not register but was shown to the room occupied by Charles A. Towne of Minnesota. There he remained in consultation with MT. Towne and former Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho until night, when he returned to Lincoln. Mr. Bryan refused to say what was discussed during the meeting, but did not deny that the future policy of the Democratic party was one of the topics discussed.
 q expect to remain in politics as long as I live" said MT. Bryan. q shall continue to advocate and work with both tongue and pen for the principles for which l have fought so long, I shall continue to reside in Lincoln
 To the question of what he thought of the proposed reorganization of the Demo- cratic party he said: 'I have nothing to say on that subject at this time"
 "When the opportune time comes. for me to express myself" he said "I shall be heard T shall write my views out care fully in order that my position may not be misunderstood. I have neither the in- clination nor the time to do so now.
 q have received innumerable offers for my services, but I am not looking for postion-not now" and he joined in with MT. Towne with hearty laugn. I am III the best of health and expect to be exceed ingly busy for some time to come. l have not seen any of the local politicians. I came here to consult with MT. Towne and one or two other men in regard to matters which do not care to talk about"
 Mr Bryan appeared in the best of spir- its and had none of the marks of man crushed politically. As compared to ms appearance on the eve of election when he plainly bore signs of the strain under which he was laboring, he looked like new man.

 The leader of this band is Mother Ann NJ. Schiling, native of Syracuse, N. Y, and a relative of the Franciscan superior here, although for some years past she has la bored among the poor in Louisville, Ky. She and her companions will start from San Francisco direct to Hawaii, bearing with them, 1t Is said, the special blessing of Pope Leo XIII

 Great Place Demands Great Courage. This, sir, is my case. I leave it confl- dently In your hands. Confidently, I say, because I cannot believe that you will fail to recognize in it a great duty a duty which you will set yourself to discharge, no matter how great the cost. l do not forget what has come to be too often ex- pected in our day from those who hold office when those who are their partisan associates are involved in wrong-doing. But l cannot believe that, in such case as this you will hesitate as to your duty, no matter where the doing of 1t may conn., pei you to strike. Great place such as yours demands great courage and great sacrifice. Great crises such as that which has now come in the history of our city, and I thinkI may be forgiven if l add, in your own career, demand great acts. I cannot believe that you will dislain an op- portunity so unique as that which now confronts you for action worthy of your office, your citizenship, your manhood. I am sir, respectfully yours,

 FAMOUS LETTER A Protest Against Protected Vice
 in New York THE VIRTUE OF POOR WOMEN "Nowhere Else on Earth Does There Exist Such a Situation as De- files and Dishonors New
 York Today"
THE VIRTUE OF POOR WOMEN

The Hon. Robert A. Van Wyck, Mayor of
 the City of New York
 Sir-At No. 130 Stanton street. in this city, there is a work, for the people resident in that neighborhood, of missionary, edu- cational and social character, for which, for some years, I have been directly and personally responsible. Its influence for good order and good morals to describe it in no other way, has been considerable; and has been recognized, I think I may venture to say, by those who know 1t, of real and enduring value. It is not only center for the ministrations of religion, but also for training in various arts and handicrafts, for free library, gymnasium, cooking, sewing, and other schools, etc., and as such for those whose lives are often hard and narrow and whose pleas ures and privileges are few, 1t has been recognized an important factor in pro- noting the virtue and good order of the communities to which 1t ministers.
 In view of these facts, it would seem that 1t has a valid claim upon the sym pathy, cooperation, and at least courteous consideration of those who officially rep resent our city government and the guard ianship of decency and good morals I urge here no other claim for it. and I beg to say that 1 am not now addressing you because there has been in that which I now desire ts bring to your notice vul- gar and brutal absence of those in connec- tion with who happens to have been my own representative. The personal ele- ment, so far as he is or I concerned Is of the very smallest consequence.
 But the thing that is of consequence, sir, Is that when a minister of religion, and a resident in a particular neighborhood whose calling, character, experience and truthfulness are all alike widely and abundantly recognized, goes to the head quarters of the police in his district to ap- peal to them for the protection of the young, the innocent and the defenceless against the leprous harpies who are hired as runners and touters for the lowest and most infamous dens of vice, he Is met not only with contempt and derision, but with the coarsest insults and obloquy.
 You will say that these are strong words. I hold myself ready at any time to submit the facts that substantiate them. The statement now in my possession of two clergymen of the highest character con- tains the testimony of two men, given without exaggeration, with the most pains taking reserve, and with absolute truthful ness.
