The PASSENGERS AND
CREW SAFELY LANDED
Heroic Efforts Of Lifesavers
Finally Rewarded.
WAS A NIGHT OF TERROR

Rain Came Down In Torrents, While
the High Wind COntinued-Boats
Reached the Wreck After Daylight
and Saved Those on Board.
FARAMAN, Bouches DuRhone, Jan.
11.-After night of terrible suspense
all Of the passengers and crew of the
French steamer Russie, from Oran, Al.
geria, which stranded near here during
violent storm Monday, have been
safely landed.
AS the life line connected from the
shore with the steamer parted again
yesterday afternoon, when night set in
no communication with the stranded
steamer was possible. The last signalled
message read as follows:
"We have not a scrap of food left.
CONSERVATION prevails on board.
On receipt of this appeal the fishermen
made two more plucky launches Of their
boat, but were beaten back, and as the
Russie disappeared in the darkness
those on board apparently were trying
to launch their only remaining boat.
during the night and only those who
were compelled to do so stayed on the
shore, part of them huddled beneath a
tarpaulin and others seeking refuge
from the gale in the Faraman light
house.
At midnight two floats with lines at
tached to them were launched, but both
attempts to reach the Russie were fruit
less In the early hours of the morning
torches were lighted at the bow of the
Russie and III response to the signal the
fisherman made another effort to reach
the wreck. But they were again tossed
ashore, and the crew of the lifeboat,
who belong to the fishing village of Car
70, gathered around bonfire made of
Wreckage from the steamer, drenched to
the skin and with teeth chattering from
cold, but not discouraged.
Their heroism was finally rewarded
as, with daybreak, the weather percep-
tibly moderated, the sea became calmer
and the wind having shifted from east
to north the CAIRO fishermen, at about
6:B0 o'clock this morning, again put to
sea. The spectators watched with fast
beating hearts as the boat disappeared
through the waves. More than once it
was thought she was engulfed, but the
craft rose in sight again on the crest of
the waves, approaching gradually near.
er to the Russie.
Then a rope was thrown, which the
fishermen caught. and the lifeboat soon
afterward was alongside. Then above
the bowling wind rose cries of joy from
those on board the Russie, which were
reohoed by the crown ashore. Another
boat, manned by four men. was then
launched and succeeded in reaching the
wrecked vessel. A few minutes later
the CAIRO boat left the Russie's side.
AS she approached the shore, the occu-
pants were seen to be women and one
baby. One woman was clasped in the
arms of her son, who had been waiting
on shore since Monday. She swooned
and had to DO transported on stretcher
hastily constructed from wreckage and
covered with blankets, to the lighthouse.
The other women collapsed from fa-
tigue, cold and hunger. Finally all were
saved and sheltered in the lighthouse.

SENTIMENT HOSTILE
TO UNITED STATES
European Diplomats Aroused
Against America.
FORCE US OUT OF CONCERT

Germany Is Said to Head the Move-
neutrality-suspicious. as to China Has
Caused Hostile Feeling Against This
Country-British View of 1t.
LONDON, Jan. IL. - Attention was
drawn on Monday to the suspicious
similarity of the tendency existing Of
the official views emanating from Wen
ma and dispatches cabled by English
correspondents in the United States.
Another striking instance has occurred
within the last couple of days. AS us
ual the unanimity of views is mani
tested in a sentiment of hostility to the
American government.
This time the state departments pro-
posal to refer certain points of the Chi
nese negotiations to a commission,
which would meet at Washington or
elsewhere, furnishes the pretext for the
attack. The Daily Telegraph's Vienna
correspondent tells how the suggestion
has aroused the ire of Austrian diplo-
matists against the United States and
the statement that the United States
may be asked to leave the concert of
powers in China, is freely discussed
This unanlmlty Is too pronounced to
pass unnoticed. If the matter were
probed to the bottom the person who
has inspired the many statements would
probably prove to be the kaiser, who, as
the head of the triple alliance and the
only member of the Anglo German ali-
ance whose hands are unfettered Eng
land being kept busy i'll the Transvaal,
is in a position to dictate with fair
chance of being obeyed.
His majesty is more concerned in
shutting the United States out of the
concert than any one, for it is the
United States that has thwarted his
scheme of wholesale slaughter, which
was to China imbued with terror of the
German empire, while the other powers
were to be thrust into the background
as of no account
AS matter Of fact, however, there is
no concert of the powers now. Russia
has virtually withdrawn from it of her
own free will, preferring to make an in
dependent treaty with China.
According to The Daily Telegraph the
idea is being contemplated of leaving
out the United States, and France, the
formal ally of Russia and united by the
friendliest ties to America, will scarcely
work very cordially with the stumps of
a concert, namely the triple alliance and
England.
This simply means that the concert
is breaking up into camps, of which the
divisions are becoming more marked as
the time goes on. 1t remains to be seen
which will win in the end. There is
certainly strong probability that Rus
sia, France and the United States will
be more successful in dealing wi
China if definite split takes place than
will the triple alliance and England.
Justice and humanity will prove more
powerful than oppression and indifPer-
ence to the right of nations. In that
case the effort to shut out the United
States will probably change to a scram-

REPORT OF THE BOARD
FAVORS CHARLESTON
Recommends Establishment
of Naval Station There.
REASONS FOR DECISION

Ihat Port Has Many Advantages Over
Port Royal-Minority Report Pre-
sented by Rear Admiral Sumner,
Who Favors Port Royal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - Secretary
Long today made public the report of
the naval board officers submitted yes
terday concerning the establishment of
naval station on the South Atlantic
coast, and more particularly with refer
ence to the relative merits of Port Royal
or Charleston as the site for this station.
The board recommends in favor of
Charleston, reinforcing its views with
an elaborate statement of the advantages
OF that place over Port Royal. A dis
senting view is presented by Rear Ad.
m1ral Sumner, who favors a retention
of the naval station at Port Royal
The board discusses the general requi-
sites Of a naval station site on the south
Atlantic coast, including accessibility
from the sea, immunity from attack,
railroad and steamship facilities, labor
supply and many other special require
ments of the navy. After an exhaustive
review OF the advantages offered by
both localities, the board recommends
that it is expeditions to transfer the na-
val station now at Port Royal to point
near the city of Charleston and finds
the only available site to be that on the
west bank of the Cooper river, about
six miles above the Charleston custom
house, composing a part Of Chicora
park, and also, if deemed advisable, a
part of the marsh land belonging to the
state of South Carolina, which lies
south of Lawton island. The only other
site examined by the board in the vicin-
ity of Charleston which afforded the
necessary water front, was on the south
bank of the Wando river, but as this
site has neither railroad connection nor
available water facilities, it was not
deemed advisable for the purposes in
terested.
In conclusion the board states that it's
recommendation of the Charleston site
is based simply upon it's opinion that it
is the better site of the two. The ma
jority report is signed by Rear Admiral
Frederick Rodgers, president of the
board; Captain George A. Converse,
Civil Engineer Q. E. Asserson, Naval
Constructor J. H, Linnard, Commander
E. Fl. Leutze and Lieutenant Com
mander S. A. Stanton.

TO CHANGE SHIPPING BILL.
Its Chances of Passing at This Session
Seem Brighter.

Seem Brighter.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE chances
of the ship subsidy bill passing at this
session seem brighter than they have
been, though if the bill passes it will
doubtless be changed materially from
the shape in which it was originally re-
ported to the senate.
The interests back of this measure
have decided upon several amendments
designed to remove grounds Of opposi-
tion advanced by some of the men who
felt they could not vote for the bill as
originally drawn, and some of the Re-
publican leaders say there must be even
more radical amendment
The bill itself is so technical that few
of those unfamiliar with the details of
shipping are able to understood it's pro-
visions. Some Of the criticisms ad-
vanced have been based on an under
standing that the measure would bene-
fit principally the lines owning fast pas
senger steamers to- the apparent exclu-
sion of the freighters which carry the
greater part of the country's agrioul-
tural exports. AS originally drawn, the
bill seemed to favor these ocean grey
hounds.
