BUFFETED BY STORM.
Steamer From Alaska Has Thrilling
Experience at Sea.

experience at sea.
Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 6.-The
long overdue steamer Elk No. / ar
rived today, forty-seven days from
Nome. She is the last of the Alaska
feet of steamers to arrive. The Elk
brought five passengers, and accord
ing to their story the steamer had a
most eventful voyage, having many
narrow escapes from being wrecked.
On the way down the Elk eneoun-
tered almost one continual gale, and
was compelled to seek shelter at every
available place. The first of the EIks
mishaps occurred on the night OF Nov.
8, when her rudder was carried away.
When daylight made its appearance it
was found that the craft had drifted
dangerously close to the rocky beach,
and Captain Durham determined to
put his vessel on the beach.
A jury rudder was rugged, and while
seeking a favorable place, the Elk
struck a rock, carrying away her con
densers. The vessel was successfully
beached, and before her rUdder and
COndensers could be repaired a storm
came up and the craft had to be
worked off by the use of sails, and
for three days she was buffetted about
in a helpless condition.
On Nov 10 Kodiak was reached
where the ruGder and the machinery
were repaired and the little craft
again started on her journey.
Between Unga and Kodiak the Sc
verest storm was experienced, and all
OF board had given up hopes of reach
ing shore. Besides having a tumui-
tuous sea to contend with, her safety
was endangered by ice forming from
spray, and several times all hands
were called to cut away ice. The Elk
reports having sighted the mail steam

Grave fears have been entertained for
the safety of the Discovery. Captain
Durham says that he thinks the Dis
covery is all right

A WAGE Comparison.
Toronto Globe.l

The Montreal Herald prints side by
side two advertisements for help. One
is for IAN honest Protestant servant
for FIVE I'm family; no washing or iron
ing; wages S14." The other is for a
teacher for g Protestant school, with
frst-class elementary diploma: salary
SO per month for eight months. It
will thus be seen that by getting &
first-class diploma you can earn 81 a
month more than an honest Protestant
servant, but the latter has her board
thrown in, so that, on the whole, IT is
better not to waste time on earning the
diploma.

Absence of Disorder Which Prevailed
Earlier in Week,

PITTSBURG. September 12.-Quiet pre-
vailed at all points affected by the steel
strike In this vicinity today, In marked con-
trast to the excitement and disorder Of
the past few days. At McKeesport small
crowd of strikers still guarded the en-
frances to the National tube works, but as
the plant Is practically tied up, no men
applied for work, and the strikers pickets
had nothing to do The Demmler tin plate
works were in operation with about the
same force as yesterday. and no attempt
was made to interfere with the workmen.
AT the Monongaheia tin plate plant in this
city the mob of men. women and children
that has surrounded the property and
blocked the. streets every day this week.
was conspicuous for its absence. This
state of affairs was due to an order issued
by Inspector Bradley of the South Side po-
lice district, forbidding them to congre-
gate on the streets under penalty of arrest.
The fires were burning in two furnaces, but
the plant has not yet started up.
Seven more men were taken into the Star
tin plate mill this morning without moles-
tation. Several assaults have occurred at
this plant recently, and trouble was feared,
but the strikers made no effort to stop the
men going. At Lindsay & Mccutcheons
and Painters mills no strikers were seen,
and the workmen passed to and fro as
freely as before the strike.
