EFFORTS TO RESCUE.

The Russie lies partly on her beam
ends, with her deck facing seaward
and the seas which have carried away
her hatchways, filing the holds, and
cabins with water. Every possible ex-
pedient was tried from the shore to
save the sufferers. The coast guards
men, and fishermen manned life boats
and made several Intellectual attempts
to reach the steamer which was shift
ed by the incessant pounding of the
seas, triha nearer the shore. One
lifeboat got half way when it was cap
sized and it's crew swan ashore and
were dragged out of the water by the
people ashore who formed a line with
hands joined and waded breast deep
into the water in order to seize them.
A tug approached as near as possible
to the wreck and then flew a kite to
which q lifeline was attached, in the
direction of the Russie, but it failed to
reach the stranded vessel. Floats were
also sent out from the beach with lines
but in no case did they succeed in
reaching the steamer. Rockets were
fired frutlessly until the ammunition
of the rocket mortars which was very
meagre, ran out, the tugs which made
repeated efforts TO approach the RuSSle
were themselves menaced with disas-
ter and obliged to relinquish their at
tempts.
Late in the afternoon another expedi-
ton was essayed-that of launching a
raft, with life line from tug laying
off the wreck. The result of this at
tempt to reach the endangered crew
and passengers of the Russie is not yet
known. Those on board of her were
seen to launch floats. but they were all
carried out 20 sea by the current.
THE GALE SUBSIDING.
This afternoon the gale is subsid-
ing.
narrowing scenes were witnessed at
the office of the steamship located here,
outside of which We're gathered the
weeping wives and children and other
relatives of the crew who mostly hail
from MarseiEes. A message posted at
1885 D. m. tbat up to that time all on
board the Russie were alive, evoked a
pathetic eXolosion of Joy.
The Russla was owned by the Societ
Generate de Transports Maritimes A.
Yapeur. of Marseilles. and not by the
Compagnie Generate Trans Atlantique.

is Broken.
A CRUISER FROM ToULoN TO THE RESCUE
Terrible Night Spent by the Passengers and
Crew on the Vessel Sinking and
Breaking Up Under The Ac-
ton of the Waves.
(By the Asoclsated Press.l }

Marseilles, Jan. 9.-Dispatches from
the village of Faraman, near which the
French mail steamer Russie, from
Oran, Algeria, stranded Monday, in a
violent storm, with fifty passengers and
crew of forty on board say, that all
efforts to reach the steamer have fail
ed, owing TO the height of the seas
which are running. Pilot boats and tor
pedo boats which have attempted 10
reach the steamer have been unable to
battle the waves and have returned.
The only hopes seems to be in the
ability of the life savers to throw a
line over the Russie as the wrecked
vessel is driven closer to the shore.
The forecastle and part of the forward
deckhouse are all of the vessel remain
ing above water.
A signal message was received at
three o'clock this afternoon from the
Russie saying all on board were alive,
but begging for succor. The sea has
slightly moderated but up TO the pres
ent all attempts at rescue have failed,

APPEALS FOR HELP.

When nigntfall yesterday enshroud-
ed the Russie, quite a number of the
crew and passengers We're seen clinging
to the forergging and to the rails,
making despairing signals for succor,
which those ashore We're powerless' to
afford. The gale increased in fury all
night long and a Pickering light was
perceived from time to time, apparent
ly waved by those on board to attract
attention. 1t was feared the steamer
would either break up or disappear III
the shifting sands before morning. A
thousand persons awaited along the
shore and the fishermen prepared to
launch a ooat at the first sign OF the
abatement of the hurricane. When day
broke it was a great relief for the
watchers ashore to find that the bow
and other parts of the forepart of the
ship were still above water. though the
stern had completely vanished. A
group of men huddled on the steamers
bow renewed their mute appeals for
help.
AS the day wore on more persons
appeared on the deck, forming three
groups-one at the bow, another on
the bridge, and third around the fun
mel. Thus it was seen that most of
the crew and passengers, who. a recti-
fed list shows. number 102. were still
living

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Ann Arbor, Mich. April Further than
the fact that Young man confined in the

plague In medical student, nothing can
be learned of his identity. The authorities
withhold his name on the ground of em-

case turn out to be something other than
bubonic plague.
There is much speculation here as to the
manner in which the plague, If IT is plague,
could have reached the university. The case

fact that Professor Frederick @. Novy re-

JERSEY CENTRAL men
MAY STRIKE MONDAY.
Agreement Entered Into With
Them Saturday They Now
Consider a Ruse.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, April From present indica-
tions there is likely to be a strike on the
Central Railway of New Jersey Monday
night Tuesday.
A new element of danger has entered into
the situation. Saturday the Representatives
Of the railroad employees organization
agreed to a truce until Monday. 1t now de-
velops that the Cantral Railroad Of New
Jersey will pass into the control OF the
Philadelphia and Reading on April 15. and
the men believe the railroads offer to treat
with their employees is only ruse to gain
time.
The object of this move, as expressed by
Z. Il. Clark chief executive Of the Brother
hood Of Railway Conductors. would be to
place the responsibility on the Reading
people should they be able to postpone ac-
ton until that date.
Should this prove true. tie-up would
seem inevitable. The Philadelphia and
Reading system is non-union and IN for
mer years. its management has shown any
thing but friendiness to the brotherhoods
of railway employees.
For more than ono reason the men are
very anxious to get their difficulties ad-
justed before the change in control Of the
Jersey Central goes into effect.
The big chiefs admit that the employees
on the Reading system are very poorly or
ganzed and It is a question whether they
could make q very good showing In case OF
strike. Another more important reason
is that should an agreement be reached at
present and rupture occur later as a result
Of an unwilingness of the new manage
ment to abide by the agreement the respon-
sibility for anything that might result will
rest with the railroad officials.
Thus the men would have an important
element of strength In their fight. the bulk
of public sympathy behind them. There
fore, they are willing to precipitate the
crisis on Monday. and a strike may be Or
dered that night next day. in order to
force the issue.
Conferences Of the big chiefs were held
Sunday, but the result of the deliberations
of the representatives of the employees was
not given out.

..There is no doubt that the new battery

acid Edison has discovered that there are
lighter metals that will suit the purpose
equally WE'LL while allowing Of much less
