RESCUED in A STORM
CREW OF THE STEAMER HEBARD
SAVED FROM WATERY GRAVES.
with the Aid of q Farmer and
His Two Sons.

sAULT STE. MARIE. Mich. Dec 1.-The
crew of the lost steamer Hebard was
rescued Sunday morning and pulled ashore
in "bosun's" chair, between the hours of
3 and 10 a. m, while the steamer was
pounding to pieces on the rocks 200 yards
off shore. The vessel went on the rocks
bow-on in a binding snowstorm, shortly
after midnight off Mamaise point. about
sixty miles north of the 500. The crew
could just distinguish the outlines of the
rocky shore. and IL looked though no
small boat could possibly live in the raging
sea that was washing over the ships decks
with every billow. But the boat was al
ready settling on her side and 1t was evil
dent that the pounding could not continue
before the rocks would punch great holes
in her.
Volunteers to make the attempt to carry
a line ashore were found in First Mate
Burrell and Second Mate Jackson. The
ships yawl had been stove in by the sea
and nothing remained for the perilous trip
ashore but a little skin. In this frail lit
tie craft the two mates set out. Twice
their boat was hurled back by the waves
when they had all but reached the goal and
the third time the boat spilled them out
Just inside the line of safety. Clambering
up the rocks, clinging tightly TO the line
upon which hung the lives of their COM
rades aboard the ship, the two men.
bruised and bleeding from head TO foot, fell
exhausted on the shore.
Oscar Carleson, who lives near by, came
upon the scene with his sons I'm time TO
assist in making fast the line and help
bring the first members OF the crew to the
shore Two were hauled in the chair at
once for the first two trips and the fifth
passenger was Miss Jennie Barnes. Cap
tain Ryan had a narrow escape from death
al the last moment AS he was swinging
clear OF the vessel, the lines became en-
tangled and IL was a difficult task to get
him ashore. He was out of the chair and
had TO be hauled out OF the surf by the
members of the crew who had preceded
him. IL was 10 o'clock In the morning when
all were safely on the shore.

HAVOC AT EVANSVILLE.


Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 2.-The worst
storm that has visited southern Indiana
and Illinois in many years swept this vicin-
fty this afternoon about o'clock. sinking
barges and houseboats on the river, tearing
down buildings and working havoc with
telephone and telegraph wires. One of the
new buildings of the Evansville Gas Com
pany demolished at a loss of $4,000.
Several other buildings were badly dam
aged The loss to the Sanitary pottery Is
estimated at 5000. The wind attained a
velocity OF ffty-four miles an hour, the
greatest since the station was established
here.
The storm was especially severe in War
rick and Posey counties, where several
buildings are reported wrecked. Thus far
there has been no loss of life. Rivermen
say the loss will reach several thousand
dollars to their interests.

Severe in Alabama.

EUFAULA, Ala, Dec. 2.-One of the Sc
verest and most disastrous wind and rain
storms ever known in this section Of the
State swept over portion of the country
five miles south of Clayton this morning.
Telegraph and telephone wires beyond
Clayton are down and reports are meager,
but IL was learned that the wind was in
its widest fury around Pratts Station and
Baker Hill. AT Pratts j. T. Bells fine resi-
dence was blown away. Trees were uproOted
and fences and outhouses were swept away.
Citizens of Baker Hill and all along the
storm course suffered similarly, and Ii Is

Cotton Crop Destroyed.

FULTON, Ark. Dec. 2.-Red river at this
point. after reaching thirty-two and three
tenths feet, commenced falling last night,
and is still slowly declining. In the section
tributary to this place all standing cotton
and large portion of the gathered crop
stored in pens is lost. The crop loss is fig
ured at 40 per cent. and the loss of live
stock at 20 per cent. Miles of fences and
some levees were destroyed. The steamer

fatalities are reported. The velocity of the
wind reached a maximum speed of fifty
two miles an hour; reports from the sur
rounding country state that heavy damage
TO telegraph and telephone wires has been
experienced, and as a result communication
with southern points is in a demoraliZed
condition. Outhouses, fences, telegraph
poles and trees were blown down. At Mem
phis several small boats in the harbor suf-
fered damage, the smokestacks of two
steamers having been destroyed by the
gale.
The storm followed the river from the
south and it's effects were not felt in Ar
kansas and Texas.

AS VIEWED BY LONDONERS.



LONDON, Dec. 3.-Some of the London
morning papers regard President Roose-
velt's message as disappointing, inasmuch,
according to their view, 'he adopts eau
tious and conservative policy rather than
a revolutionary in dealing with the
trust question and the tariff On the
whole, however, while carefully examining
the message in detail, there is not a strong
disposition on the part of the press to
strongly criticise it, The general impress
sion that President Roosevelt has been
influenced by the warning echoes of the
last elections and that he seeks to attract
rather than attempt to compel the support
of Congress.
A leading paper says: "The message is
more remarkable for the lofty idealism of
its language than for any boldness in it's
specific recommendations
The Presidents enunciation of the for
eign policy of the United States and his
advocacy of a strong navy meet with warm
appreciation and the message generally. is
welcomed as tranquillizing one by proving
that no organic change of policy is in
tended.

Elias s. Holiday, representative from the
Fifth Indiana district, arrived in Washing
ton this afternoon and will reside at the
Ebbitt. His son is with him and will serve
as his secretary. Mr.. Holiday is opposed
TO tariff revision this term and does not
share the Presidents views on the ques-
ton of appointing a commission TO revise
the tariff. Il should think il could be done
by the ways and means committee during
the long vacation, said he last night.
This committee could go over the sched-
ule at sittings to be held during the sum-
mer and make report to the Congress

be in favor of amending the Constitution so
that Congress could control the great COM

remedy for the trust evil.
