TOWED BY A WHALE.
Sailor Supposed to Have Been Lost at
Sea Comes Home.

New Bedford, April 5.-As one from
the dead Matthew Samuel, boatswain of
whaling schooner Charles H. Hodgdon, Of
this port, appeared among his friends to-
day. Samuel, with five companions, was
supposed to have been lost at sea last
December The whaler when she put in
to Cape Verde Islands reported that six OF
her crew who had struck whale had
been towed off to sea by the animal.
Their escape from death was most re-
markable one.
"We struck the whale about O'Clock
in the afternoon" said Samuel, today.
"He kept us running until about $50
o'clock, when he died. He had towed us
about ten miles from the schooner. We
searched in vain for the schooner all that
night and all the next day. We had nc
provisions except three little packages Of
crackers and small keg Of water. We
could not eat the crackers, however, be.
cause they got wet and salt water spoiled
them. All we were allowed to dc was to
take little sip Of the water, barely wet
ting om ips, and it lasted just seven days.

1t has not been a great while since the
United States was chiefly debtor nation.
Things are rapidly changing. The United
States now has at least $l50,0Oo, 900 loan
ed to various European nations and mu.
inequalities.
1t looks now like civil government will
soon be established in the Philippines.
The Filipinos are beginning to realize our
people are very different frvm those of
Spain, and the promises made by Ameri'
cans will be kept. Their experience with
the Spaniards was the reverse.
Hon. II. Clay Evans, Commissioner of
Pensions. has made splendid record dur
ing the past four years. Pension claims
denied by him during his term OF four
years will aggregate $40, 100000. He is
not popular with the pension sharks, but
his record is not likely to make him un-
popular with honest citizens.
Some persons are nilly enough to ques-
ton the fairness of the strategy by which
General Funston succeeded in capturing
Aguinaldo. If Funstons strategy was not
fair then all strategy in war is unfair. To
admit this is to admit that such great
leaders as Washington. Lee, Jackson,
Grant and others, ,revered by all the Amer
lean people, did unfair things in war.
American diplomacy up to the present
has been the most potential factor in the
settlement of the troubles 10 China. This
has been accomplished without any dis.
play of military force or any threatening
action, but by the use Of manly, frank
declaration of what our Government
thought was right, and unequiyocal sug-
gestions to China and the Powers as to
what should be done.
Senator Daniel has been nominated by
the Democrats of Campbell county to
represent that county in the constitu-
tional convention. Sometime ago the
Senator predicted that the convention
would prove a political charnel house for
good many Virginia politicians. The Sen
ator had better look out or he might be
among theRnumber. If he advocates a
policy such as he announced in his speech
atlthe last Democratic convention, be is
likely to destroy himself in the esteem of a
great many of the so-called common
people.

FamIne's Work In India.

London, April 8.-The depopulation Of
India through famine and cholera is as
suming alarming proportions. The latest
advices from Sima say the census returns
of the central provinces show a decrease
of over half a million since 1891, when
under normal conditions an increase Of a
million and half might have been ex-
pected.
1t is estimated that five millions have
died in India since 1896 from causes di-
rectly due to the famine. In western
India things are even worse. The Oode-
poor State returns show decrease Of 840,-
900, or As per cent. of the population; the
State of Bhopaul elbows decrease Of $685.
600; the district of Banda shows decrease
of l24 ,OOO' In Bombay city the popula-
ton has diminished by $4,000
The large cities which escaped the plague
show satisfactory though uncompensat-
ing increase; for instance, Madras. which
has gained eight per cent. over 1891.

EMPsROR'S TOAST AMAzES GERMANY
Recent Utterauces About Life 6uarde
and the Russian Relations Cause
Dismay.

Berlin, April 8.-The entire German
press is still greatly excited over the EN-
peIor's recent u. terances on the occasion
of his toasts, and the reviews in today's
weekly press confirm this condition. The
Cologne Volks Zeitung says Emperor
Williams words to the Emperor Alexan-
der Grenadier regiment upon the occasion
of their installation in their new barracks
near the Emperor's palace. when he called
them his life guards, ETC., have been re-
ceived with disnlsy and amazement, but
sadder still is the fact that the Emperor
bad the regiments barracks built in close
proximity to the castle, which shows that
the Emperor meant what he said upon
that occasion. The paper then dissects
the Emperors toast concerning Russian.
German relations and Gays it is evident
that somebody has been systematically
trying to embroil these hitherto friendly
relations and that, from the Emperor's
hints, this can only be Great Britain or
Japan. The paper concludes "Where,
then, are our new English friends ?"
The fact of the matter is that the EN-
peror's utterances have been interpreted in
all ways to suit everybody's taste and par
tyism.
The German press comments unfavOr-
ably on the farewell speech of S. Bryan,
United States Minister to Brazil, at Port
Allegro, in which Mr.. Bryan was quoted az
counsellng the German residents to Brazil
to contribute to the welfare of that coun-
try without wounding the national sentl-
ments of the Brazilians. A letter on this
matter from prominent German of Rio
Janeiro is making the rounds OF the press.
This letter says Mr.. Bryan's words were
tactless, and that the American Minister
interfered in matters which do not con-
cern him and denies that Germany seeks
political independence for the German
residents of Southern Brazil.
The correspondent Of the Associated

A Lineman Killed.
in your section

Bluefeld, w. Va, April 8.-James h.
Daggett, lineman in the employ of the
Bluefeld Telephone Company, was elec-
trocuted tonight while engaged in cutting
telephone wire, which had become
crossed with the main feed wire of the arc
lights. The accident occurred at the cor
ner of Mercer street and 3lue6eld avenue,
and was witnessed by throng of Mortified
spectators. The instant the young man
began to ascend the pole he became the
cynosure of the gaze of hundreds of peo-
pie, who watched him prosecute his work.
After climbing through mass of wires, he
stood upon what is known as the return
wire, and reached for the phone wire that
was causing the trouble. The moment
his plyers touched the latter he was seen
to waver and fall backwards. In some
way his feet became entangled, and he
remained head downward until ladder
was procured and tue body was cut down.:
Two thousand volts passed through his
body. Daggett was about 2l years old,
and had been in this city only about three
months, having come here from Radford,
where he had been employed by the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee Telephone Company.
His home was in Wilmington. n. c., aud
he had only this morning returned from
that place, where he had been to attend
the funeral of sister. The young man
came here highly recommended, and
made hosts of friends among those with
whom he came i'll contact.

Both Bowling and White said thatit would

more severe and dangerous than reported.
he wants his children to release all claims
to his estate, which is only his during his
