A DREADFUL EXPERIENCE.
Survivors of the Wreck ed Steamer
EIingamite Suffer Terrible Tor
lures Before They Arc Rescued.

London. Nov. 17.-The Daily Nails
correspondent at Wellington, N. H.,
telegraphs that the eight survivors
from the wreck of the British steam
er Elingamitc who were 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 Z feet wide and had 16 per-
sons on it when it left the wreck. The
only food on board was two apples.
The first apple was consumed ON Tues
day and the second Oh Wednesday,
each being divided into 16 portions,
From Sunday, the day they were
wrecked, until Thursday, when they
were rescued, the survivors drifted GU
miles on the half submerged raft.
Several attempts were made to land
on the Three Kings islands, but with
out success. Three men died on Mon.
day night from drinking salt water
All of the survivors suffered the tor
lures of thirst, and four other mer
and the stewardess died of exhaustion
before they were picked up by thu
Penguin. They had a cruel disappoint
ment on Tuesday night. A steame1
was sighted in the distance, and fran
tic shouts were raised by those on tn
raft to attract attention. The steame
lowered a boat, which passed within
fifty yards of them, but the boats GREY
apparently did not see the raft, an
. returned to their vessel.

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

IF the new house of representa-
tives is republican, that is all right.
The republicans will have the full re-
sponsibility for the national govern
ment, during the next two years, and
it is but right and proper that they
should have full power to solve the
many proklems which, at the present
time, call for solution in the popular
interest.-Albany Argus.
--"There will be no difficulty in
getting the contemplated antitrust
bill through congress this winter IT
the republican leaders will permit it.
Democrats will offer no obstruction.
| All depends on the attitude of a few
republicans. The question is whether
or not their chronic servility to the
monopolistic combines is to be aban-
~doned.-Washington Post (Ind.).
-Republicans will have the next
congress in both branches as they have
the present one. If the republicans

TROLLEY AND FREIGHT TRAIN.
They Collide in Chicago, with a Re-
suit that One Man Is Dead and
Many Wounded.

Chicago. Nov. 17.-One man was
killed and a dozen men, women and
children more or less seriously in
iured in a collision, Sunday night, be-
tween a Western avenue electric train
and a Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
freight train at the Eighteenth street
crossing. The motor and trailer,
which made up, the electric train, was
crowded with passengers, and it seems
a miracle that so many escaped in
slant death. The dead mans name
was Hugh Curran.
A mistake of the iagman at the
crossing was responsible for the acct
dent. The freight, which consisted OF
AZ cars with an engine at either end,
broke in two as it neared Western
avenue. The front part of the train
passed the crossing and the fiagman,
not noticing the remaining portion OF
the train coming at full speed, half a
block away, pulled up the gates and
gave the signal that the crossing was
clear. The electric train, which hao
been waiting for the train to pass
started to cross the tracks and was
hit square in the middle by the las
! half of the freight train. Both OF thu
street cars were overturned in thu
itch by the collision.

MARK REPUBLICAN COURSE.
The FINN WIN Begin when Ther At
tempt to Revise the
Tariff.

AT last the tariff is going to be re-
formed by its friends"-not right
away, but as soon as it really needs 1t.
Some of the duties which protect
'bad' trusts must come off.
A beginning may be made with the
duty on anthracite coal, which Secre-
tary Moody says was "smuggled INTO
the Dingley tariff bill in a sneaking
and ~cowardly manner"
Undoubtedly the president. in his
message to congress, will recommend
that this Struggled duty be taken "ff,
and as the duty on soft coal prote'ts
the coal trust, or trusts, far more tLan
the duty on anthracite, he must, to he
consistent, recommend that all coal be
put on the free list.
Then the fun will begin. as it always
has begun when the republicans nave
attempted to revise the tariff down
wards-and indeed by revising it up
wards.
The trusts will send agents to WASH
ipgton. These will appear before the
WAYS and means committee, or per-
haps before a tariff commission, winch
the president will recommend. They
will loudly proclaim the direful re-
suits that will follow even the slight-
est lowering of the robber duties.
Each trust agent will gravely inform
the commission or their commission
(for heretofore the protected mani
facturers have had their W way IN
all things) that his particular industry
would be ruined, simply wiped on the
earth. if the tariff is touched even by
friendly hands. He will produce care
, fully prepared tables showing that
!. in his industry day wages are twice as
high in this country as in Germany OF
!, France and 60 per cent. higher than IL
! England. He will put up a pitifui piea
: for ~"protection to labor" and "Amerl
, can wages for American work
:. ingmen." He will not explain
{ how a tariff on goods-what the trusts
have to sell-will protect labor-wha
> the workingman has to sell. Neithe'
will he explain why wages are hlghe
! in free trade England than in protect
ed Germany or France. nor why on
trust products, made by high-price'
labor, are sold in foreign countries j
competition with goods made by chea.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.-Three shots were
fred at the king of the Belgians Sat
urday morning as he was proceeding
to the cathedral to attend a tie deum
in memory of the late Queen Marle
Henriette. No one was hurt.
The man who fired the shots is an
Italian. He stood in front OF the
Bank of Brussels on the Rue Royale.
The other chambers in his revolver
proyed to be blank, so it is presumed
that those fired were equally harm
less. The man was Immediately ar
rested, and the police had some di1n-
Guilty in rescuing him from the hands
of the crowd. He gave the name Oh

When examined by the police, Ru-
Y bino confessed that he intended TO
0 shoot King Leopold and said he held
anarchist beliefs.
A fuller investigation satisfied the
police that Rubino really fired a bal
cartridge the bullet of which smashed
tbe window of Comte D'Oultremont
carriage and grazed the grand mar
Il shal's face. When rescued from th'
n mob, Rubino was placed in a cab anl
infatuated crowds of people lmmeot

the time of her mothers death, n
he also wished to show to the an
