She Was Covered with Ice and Her
Decks Were Like Skating Kinks
The Captain Says the Storm was the
Worst He Ever Saw

Sault Ste. Marie. Mich. Dec. IL
The steamer Maricopa OF the Mime.
sofa line. which arrived down at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon. passed
through a bowling winters gale on
Lake Superior. which would have de.
stroyed anything but a full powered
modern steel steamer.
Capt Zealand reports that on Satur.
day night, when off Vermillion point,
the wind increased to 90 miles an hour
and the sea was so heavy that he was
compelled to turn the Maricopa from
her course to Whitefish point and head
directly into the gale. The steamer
was kept headed to the north vest un-
til Sunday noon, when the weather
cleared sufficiently to resume the old
course.
The vessel is a solid mass of ice.
The decks are like skating rinks and
the windows of the pilot house and
first mates room were stove in by the
masses of water which the wind hurled
on board. The mates room is a total
wreck. Capt. Zealand spent all of Sat
urday night on the bridge and he de-
clares that the experiences of that
night were more severe than any he
ever passed through before.
The steamers Isaac l.. Elwood and
William L. Palmer, of the American
Steamship Co., which were sheltered
under Whitefish point, left at noon
Monday for Duluth The wind is south
west and the weather is growing very
cold.
The mail steamer Elva left on her
last trip between the 500 and Detour
at l o'clock Monday afternoon. The
captain reports that the ice is two
inches thick on Mud lake.

NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

The convention was absolutely har-
monious and absolutely useless as an
indication of public sentiment No
representative of anti-administration
sentiment on any subject was given
an opportunity even to get himself
Missed by the subservient lackeys of
power. There was no more independ-
ent freedom of speech than in an as
sembly of Germans. Russians. or
Turks. Such n national convention
was never before known in America.
Twelve years ago it would have been
the death of any party submitting to
1t. Perhaps 1t will be so now. 1t may
be that there are yet some sparks of
living independence in the Republican
party, that It is not n moribund or
ganization composed wholly OF dicta-
tors and cravens. There is more hope
of the nations purity and safety in
the angriest free fight OF a party
caucus or convention. such as Ben
Butler and Fred Williams have given
samples of in this vicinity. than in
such convention as has been held
this week in Philadelphia. having re-
gard to the unrelieved acquiescence in
the tyranny of It's control. and its emp
tiness of any genuinely popular char
aCter.

THE NEWS FROM CHINA.
philadelphia telegraph

1t is the duty of the Government at
Washington to demand from naval
ana consular representatives at every
point In China the fullest and prompt
est reports of everything within their
knowledge. and every official report
that reaches the State or Navy De-
partment should at once he given to
the press. The meagre bulletins that
come from Admiral Kempff go just far
enough to excite interest and arouse
alarm. and 1T is not to be supposed
for a moment that he has communi-
Gated to the Secretary as full informa-
ton as he has in his possession. He
chould receive peremptory orders
from Washington to forward every day
full and detailed report Of the sit
uation and the prospects. as far as
his knowledge extends, and every word
that comes from him should at once
be laid before the country.

Hanna displayed great interest in Mr..

OF Senator Magee how many Senators

repetition of that action next January,
when the Legislature convenes for the
election of Senator, and the Ohio
Senator clearly manifested his surprise
When Magee fiippantly informed him
he thought there would be.
Senator Hanna. after hearing all
the facts in the case. told Magee that
the spontaneous and so decidedly
marked demonstration for Senator
Quay on the part of delegates and
people to the National Convention
from every State in the Union and
the unity of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton in supporting Senator Quay, was
a revelation to him, and that he de-
sired to say to Senator Magee, so that
he could communicate it to those who.
after taking part in the Republican
caucus. refused to be bound by it's ac-
party regularity: that the National
Committee would put it's seal of CON
demnation upon all such proceedings
as that which haracterized the caucus
of the Pennsylvania LEGISLATURE last
winter.

"SEDITION' AND A SCENE.

Even into the rare and rarified at
mosphere OF scientific research, and
the chill luminosity of statistical
statement. ever and anon the gross
heat of partisan political strife will
project itself. throwing out the geld
body of mugwumpery till it drips with
passionate exclamation. However dis
appointing this may be to the devotees
of n superior and philosophic calm,
to vulgar mortals of the common herd,
who are not above being vexed by

ly to be feared such spectacles bring
secret satisfaction If not open amuse-

not like TO feel that the Empyrean

SENATOR HOAR'S POSITION.
philadelphia Record.)

The senior Senator from Massachu-
sets takes an early opportunity to ex-
plain to whom 1t may concern that his
former opposition to the Philippine
policy of the Administration is un-
changed, but that the future of the
islands is safer in Republican hands
than in those of the Democracy That
is. Mr.. Hoar has a grievance, but will
do all his lighting strictly within the
party lines. 1t is possible, however.
that many Republicans who think
more of their own country than of a
far distant archipelago may find them
selves unable to follow Mr.. Hoar in
his docile submission to the demands
of party necessity. AS the Massachu-
sets Senator has heretofore eloquently
pointed out, country which governs
subject provinces by force is not a
republic.

NEW YORK AND THE
DEMOCRACY.


1t is customary for the Democrats to
cans do the same thing. This year
there is presented the anomalous and
amazing spectacle of the Republicans
claiming it for the Democrats while
the latter are mainly silent, as yet. 1t
Is. of course, too early for political pre-
dictionS to have even the small yalue
that attaches to them after platforms
and candidates are announced and the
lines of battle drawn.
The conditions in New York must.
however, be far from encouraging for
Republicans when such stalwart Re-
publican newspapers as the New York
Tribune, The Press and the Chicago
Times Herald warn their party that
there is danger. In view of the fact
that New Yorks electoral vote is ex-
pected to be decisive of the contest
this is most interesting. The Times
Herald makes out the following case
to justify it's gloomy predictions for
Mckinley and Roosevelt:
New York gave its electoral vote
To Seymour over Grant in 1868 by
To Grant over Greeley in 1872 by
53.455 plurality.
To Tilden over Hayes in 1876 by
32,742 plurality.
To Garfield over Hancock in 1880 by
21.03S purality.
To Cleveland over Blaine in 1884 by
1,149 plurality.
To Harrison over Cleveland in 1855
by 1873 plurality.
To Cleveland over Harrison in 1892
by 45,5lS plurality.
To Mckinley over Bryan in 1886 by
26S, 1859 plurality.
In the language of the race track,
these figures prove that as n Presiden-
tial factor New York State is a rank
in and outer
The New York Press does not take
more hopeful view of Republican
chances in the Empire State. After
pointing out the enormous majority
given to Mckinley in 1895 as a result
Of the hostility to free silver the Press
contrasts it with Roosevelt's meagre
majority in 1896. 1t says:
HE lost New York county by 81 900,
Kings county by $4,000. Queens by 1000
and Richmond by 1000, and he carried
plurality in and around New York
City of about $4,000. as against Nc
Kinleys plurality OF about 10000. or a
difference in and around New York
City of more than 100000 votes
Erie county he lost by more
than 1000. Onandago he carried
by only 5000. Monroe by only
200. and Albany by less than 1000.
The party lost congressional districts
which 1t had won before Organism was
dreamed of. If the rest of the coun-
try had shown such losses the House
of Representatives to-day would be
Democratic"
Without making any predictions or
presenting any claims. Il is permissible
to point out that conditions are more
favorable to the Democrats In New
York now than in 1898. If the Kansas
City platform is such as to appeal to
those who voted for Van Wyck against
Roosevelt. In IT'S candidates in 1898
the Republican party had a great ad-
vantage over the Democratic party.
Roosevelt was n popular hero. Van
Wyck was practically an unknown
man. This year the money question
will not cut much of figure in New
York-less ineed than in some of the
Middle and Western States. 1t can be
fairly claimed that New York is doubt
ful--at least Republicans seem to
think so and give most excellent rea-
sons for the faith that Is in them. 1t
all depends on the Kansas City Con-
vention.
