Then he hesitated until one of the del

Roosevelt flushed and then said, slow
" and distinctly: II don't sees how ]

FEARLESS
SAVED. SHIP

speed, the ships canvass serving to
steady the vessel and ease the strain
on the hawser. At dusk last night the
Euterpe was safe at anchor, leaking
only a little, and the Fearless was
alongside her wharf while Captain
Brokaw was figuring in a notebook
concerning salvage: Dunreggan $780,
O00?-Euterpe s2o.000?-Weia ka Hao!
Captain SAKE of the Euterpe came
ashore about Z o'clock last night. He
told his story to an Advertiser report
er. He is not well acquainted with the
coast of these Islands and besides the
charts show no reef or shallow water
where the Euterpe struck. The present
charts of the Hawaiian Islands are
very imperfect, Captain Sake blames
the charts entirely. When the Fearless
reached the Euterpe that vessel was
hard and fast amidship. Her load
water draft is twenty-five feet. She
was then one and half feet out of the
water and two and half feet in the
coral. She is an iron vessel and was
pounding on the reef with great force.
Every time she thumped on the hard
bottom her masts would shake and
tied ominously. Captain SAKE did not
sleep while his vessel was on the reef,
he passed to and fro between the Eu-
terpe and the Fearless in one of the
ships boats. He thought at first that it
would be necessary to jettison the
greater part of the vessels cargo, 100
tons of coal. He was not acquainted
at that time, however, with the capa-
bilities of the Fearless. The Euterpe
was about mile and a half off shore
and was in momentary danger of going
ashore and leaving her bones there be-
fore the tug got hold of her. A strong
northeast wind was blowing at the
time. After the vessel struck all sail
was quickly taken in. The Euterpe left
Newcastle on July 10 and was bound
for Kahului when she went aground.
She was towed into Honolulu harbor to
be looked after should she have re-
ceived any serious damage. Divers will
examine her bottom to-day out in the
stream.
| Captain Saxe's wife is in Honolulu.
The captain did not know where she
was staying when he came ashore last
night. A friend of the family had been
the captain, had made note of it on
his cuff, but had, by some strange
chance, changed his shirt and sent the
soiled one to the laundry and had for
gotten the address.

PRoLoNGING GOEBEL's LIFE.
Check for $1,000 to be Sent to DR.
Mccormack.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 6.-Arthur
Goebel, brother of the dead governor
and his devisee under the will, has
placed claim against the estate of
Governor Goebel for $4,000 for DR.. Nc
Cormacks services. Senator Goebeis
great ambition was to be governor of
Kentucky. He had that office con-
stantly in his mind, and when he final
ly obtained the nomination he entered
upon the memorable canvass which
resulted in his assassination. He and
DR.. Mccormack had long been close
friends, and when Goebel was shot DR..
Mccormack, who happened to be in
Frankfort at the time, was one of the
first physicians to come to his assist
ance. The wound was mortal, but real
izing GoebePs ambition and knowing
that if his life could be prolonged a
few days the Legislature would decide
the contest, ana that in the state of
feeling resulting from the assassina-
ton, Goebel would probably be declared
governor, DR.. Mccormack took every
step known to science to stem the ebb-
ing tide. Salt solution, to replenish the
blood lost by hemorrhage, was injected
promptly and DR.. Mccormack and the
other physicians present worked inces-
sanity to insure prolongation of the
patients life, though they realized that
the wounded man must die as the re-
suit of the shot.
! When Arthur GoebeI arrived he re-
quested DR.. Mccormack to remain in
Frankfort with his brother and not re-
turn to his practice in Bowling Green.
/ The doctor willingly consented to do
so, and until Goebel died worked with
him night and day. The surgeons who
were summoned to Frankfort from
Louisville and Cincinnati were surpris-
+ ed that the wounded man had survived
an hour after he was shot, and express
I ed the opinion that but for the prompt
/ injection of the salt solution and other
measures taken in the fight with death
! Goebei would have expired ina short
/ time after the ball entered his body.
| After the death of Goebel\ Arthur
Goebel and Justus Goebel, the surviv-
/ ing brothers, expressed their apprecia-
ton to DIR. Mccormack of his services
and said that they were convinced that
but for his prompt and efficient meas
ures and precautions to prolong their
! brothers life he would never have lived
to attain his ambition and be sworn in
as governor. They requested DIR. Nc
| Cormack to send in his bill against the
estate for his services. The doctor de-
clined to do so on the ground that Gov
ernor Goebel during his life had done
him many kndnesses, and he felt it was
| a privilege to devote his services to
him. AS mark of appreciation Ar
! thur has placed the SIC. 600 claim against
the Goebel estate in favor Of DR.. Nc
Cormack, and it is understood that the
check for that amount will soon be
sent him.

MRS. W. B. LEEDS.

The New York World published this

about woman in the United States to-
day. 1t is Mrs. Nonnie May Stewart
Worthington, of Cleveland, O., whose
marriage to William B. Leeds, chair

pany, has recently been announced.
Leeds obtained a divorce from his
first wife and paid her 100000 that he
might marry the Cleveland beauty.
Leeds met his present wife in Cleveland
four years ago. She was then the wife
of George E. Worthington. A divorce
was obtained, and after many legal
difficulties the former Mrs. Worthing-
ton became Mrs. Leeds.
The fortunes of the woman and the
two men she has married would make

She is described as "daintily sweet and

Last Exiles to Siberia.

Siberia has ever been name associated
with endless and indescribable horrors.
That part of the world has ever been
famous country with the writer's Of sensa-
tional novels, and all on account Of the
notorious sufferings and humiliations OF
the civil and political prisoners doomed to
exile there by the Russian authorities. In
the early summer OF this year 1t was an
nounced by imperial edict from St. Peters
burg that hereafter no more convicts will
be sent to Siberia. Instead, they will serve
out their sentences in the prisons of Rus
sia. The reason for this new state Of
affairs is not hard to seek. Siberia is grow
ing in Industrial and commercial import
ance. 1t is now necessary to people that
vast tract, commonly understood to be
cold, desolate wilderness, with the respect
able and responsible classes Of commercial
and mechanical workers. To have Siberia
continue as land Of felons and political
intriguers would be to prevent the better
class Of Russians from migrating there
and investing.
In August the last trainload Of exiles
crossed the border Of Russia over the
these wretched beings belonged to the
moujik, or peasant class. The exception
was beautiful and refined-looking young
woman, the solitary political prisoner Of
accused of being one-which often amounts
to much the same thing in Russia From
the way in which the soldiers ogled her 1t
will be realized how much delight they
took in tormenting her.
For the ordinary criminals who have been
sent to Siberia in the past the punishment
has never been excessive. They were al
lowed to work out their sentences. seldom
long ones. and then were assisted by the
government to settle In the land of their
exile, paying trivial rents for the crown
lands upon which they were induced to set
tie These common criminals were allowed
to have their families with them, and tn is
considerable and rather prosperous pop
ulation has been built up. But for the ex-
lies condemned for serious political offenses
there has ever been but little hope. They
generally died under hardship and abuse
The lot Of women political convicts in the
past has been too horrible for thought. ST.
IBERIA has been a land of exles ever since
1881. 1t Is to be hoped that, now these I'M
happy ones are to be confined in Russia and

horrors that have made penal servitude a

not disturbed they continue to the
caves as roosting places. as of old.
