only food aboard was two apples. The arst
apple was consumed on Tuesday and the
second on Wednesday, each being divided
into sixteen parts. Fromy Sunday. the day
they were wrecked. until Thursday, when
they were rescued, the survivors drifted
sixty miles on the half-submerged raft.
Several attempts were made to land on the
hreo Kings islands, hut without success.
Three men died on Monday night from
drinking salt water. All OF the survivors
suffered the tortures Of thirst and four
other men and the stewardess died Of OK
haustion before they were picked up by the
Penguin. They had a cruel disappointment
on Tuesday night. 4 steamer was sighted
in the distance and frantic shouts were
raised by those on the raft to attract atten-
ton, ,The steamer lowered boat. which
passed within fifty yards OF them, but the
boats crew apparently did not see the raft
and returned to their vessel
When the Penguin was sighted only one
of the survivors was able to stand and all
were terribly emaclated.

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The direct election OF the senators Of the United
states by the people has been subject of popular dis
cussion for several years.
Recently it has been urged more earnestly than ever
before and what may be fairly called preponderance
Of public opinion has been developed in Of the
change. The house Of representatives has several
times placed Itself on record as favorng the necessary
amendment TO the constitution At the session of con
gress Just ended the house renewed the proposition
The only argument that has been advanced against
the change Is that would tend destroy the system
Of equal representation Of the States in the senate.
Senator Lodge makes this argument in his recent
speech to the graduating class Of the Yale Law school
