Three Died from Drinking Salt Water

London. Nov. 1.-THE Daily Mails
correspondent at Wellington, N. H.,
telegraphs that the eight survivors
from the wreck of the British steamer
E,lingamte, who We're rescued on a
raft by the British survey steamer
Penguin, went through a dreadful ex-
perience. The raft from which they
were taken measured only IL feet long
by feet wide and had 16 persons on ii
when il left the wreck. The only food
on beard was two apples. The first
ample was consumed, Tuesday, and tn.
second, Wednesday, each being divided
into Is portions.
From Sunday. the day they were
wrecked until Thursday when they
were rescued, the survivors drifted GO
miles or the lalf-submerged raft. Sew
eral attempts We're made to land on the
Three Kings island, but without sue
cess. Three men died, Monday night
through drinking salt water. All of the
survivors suffered the tortures of thirst
and four other men and the stewarness
died of exhaustion before they were
picked up by the Penguin.
They had Il cruel disappointment
Tuesday night. A steamer was sight
ed in the distances and frantic shouts
were raised by those on the raft to at
tract attention. The steamer lowered
a boat, which passed within so yards
of them. hut the boats crew apparently
did not see the raft and returned to
their vessel.
When the Penguin was sighted only
one of tie survivors was able to stand
and all were terribly exhausted.

BRITISH FRIENDSHIP

The history Of Great Britain's friend ship for the United States can be found ln all our school books and men Of middle life know all about it. She undertook in the first place to make us slaves to British imperialism and we fought her for seven years on land and sea. In 1872 she claimed the right and exercised it to impress American citizens and put them into her navy. That was fought to finish. In the civil war she built warshiPs for the confederate government, armed them and sent them to sea 10 prey upon our commerce and was afterwards declared guilty and paid sl5,OcO,OOO damages. In the war with Spain she tried Co get up European coalition against us as has been proven beyond dispute by the documents given to the public by the German government. That is history of English friendship and John Hay Is so iayorably impressed with it that he thinks that the greatest honor that can be conferred upon an American citizen Is to be allowed to kiss the hand Of His British Majesty.
 The Alaskan has no ill feeling against the English people. From the very be ginning, the scholars and thinkers Of England have protested against the course of their governing class and the heart of the common people has always been with Us.
 There Is a certain class of Americans who arc not satisfied unless they are permitted to crawl at the feet Of some human being whom they imagine Is their superior. They want to kiss somebody's hand to kowtow at some- body's feet. They were born hunkies and having acquired wealth they must still exhibit their inboru instincts Hay and Choate seem to be Of that class.
 Washington stated in his farewell address the position that this nation should assume to all other nations and the Alaskan still stands by it. Wash ington said
 "No,hiug Is more essential than that permanent, inveteratc antiquities

against particular nations and passion ate attachments for others should be excluded. and that in place of them just and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated. The nation which iudulges toward another au habitual hatred or an habltual fondness is in some degree slave. It Is slave to It's anlmositv or to its affection, either of which Is sufficient to lead it as,ray from its duty and its interest.
 It isthis sudden and mawkish Anglo Saxon alliance friendship that has made the settlement of the Alaskan Boun' dry question a matter that is not to be settled but avoided, The same unnat- ural conditions has actuated the treas ury department to maintain customs house at Skagway at q financial loss to the government. It is not business to run custom houses at loss and 1t Is even very bad sentiment.
