CAPTAINS WIFE STOOD DEEP
IN WATER In WHITGIFT'S CABIN

We're extinguished. To add to our
troubles. the stearing gear was jammed
and rendered useless. We put sixteen
men on the hand gear and tried to
manage the boat.
Several times the Whitgift got
caught in the heavy seas, and went
down until I thought it would never
come up. Providence alone saved us.
Boats Washed Away
-Four boats were washed away. We
made for the Straits of Magellan. We
got through there, cutting off about 40C
miles. How we ever made it with ou

RAILROAD MEN WILL WORK

Willxcsbarre. Pa, May 26.-Yester.
day was the quietest Sabbath in the
Wvoming region since the miners
strike began. Two weeks ago yes
terday there was more or less excite
ment everywhere because the strike
order was to 90 into effect the follow
ing day. But yesterday found the
offices of the coal companies entirely
deserted, the clerks having completed
their pay rolls early in the week, and
at strike headquarters no one was on
duty but Miss Morris. a private sec
retary, President Mitchell having gone
to Chicago on Saturday.
Tho circular which President Mitch
ell sent out Saturday warning the
Polish. Slavish and Lithuanian miners
to remain away from the bituminous
region OF Virginia and West Virginia,
where strikes are now in progress,
was read in many OF the churches
where the foreign miners attend ser
vices. Some Of the clergy made re-
marks urging the strikers who belong
to their congregations to be law-abid-
ing and be guided by their leaders, so
long as the leaders were faithful to
the trust reposed in them. Some OF
the Polish and Lithuanian clergymen
are said TO be opposed to the strike,
or were opposed to it before It was
declared. on the ground that the people
intrusted TO their spiritual welfare
were not prepared to stand a long
siege of idleness.
Secretary Mullahy, Of the Station
airy Firemen's Union, reports that the
poll of the men employed at the va
rious colHeries has just been COM
pleted, and that over 30 per cent OF
the men will quit work on June 2. un
less an eight-hour day is granted them
Another officer Of the union admits
that the percentage Of engineers who
will quit work will not be as large, nu'
very nearly so. What percentage ol
the nump men will come out is not as
yet known II the local operators arc
to be believed. it will be small ant
that there will be no trouble in films
all vacancies that may occur.
The strikers here are inclined (
look with favor .on the action Of th'
United Mine Workers conference a
Huntington. w. Va, in ordering
strike Of the miners in Virginia am
West Virginia. They think it vii
hasten the crisis in the anthracite
region.
Meetings Of railroad men to discus
the adyisablity of refusing to handl
non.union and bituminous coal durin
the progress of the miners strik
were held in Wilkesbarre, Kingsto
and Ashley yesterday afternoon. a
three meetings were secret. 1t wa
given out that the question was dii
c7ssed in all its bearings, but no al
ton was taken. The meeting at KIM
ston agreed to take the matter up
another meeting to be held next weel
: The Ashley meeting endorsed the mil
ers strike and will render tinancii
aid The railroad brotherhoods, wit
headquarters in this city, will also giN
financial assistance, but it is said wi
not resort to a sympathetic strike.

ship into port, had the most temptestu-
ous voyage in the history of his twen-

Another Attempt to Settle strike.


New York, May 26.-Another at
tempt, it was learned last evening, will
be made by the National Civic Fedora
tion TO effect a settlement of the an
thracite nlAers' strike, and a meeting
will be called in the city within ten
.days, unless the strike is ended in the
meantime. The federation is now pre-
pairing to call q meeting of its full eX-
ecutiye committee to see if any new
plan can be arranged.
Both sides of the dispute will be
asked to send representatives to the
meeting, though the operators haye
SO far resisted all overtures Of the
Civic Federation. A prominent mem
ber of the executive committee saic
last night that as both sides had time
to reflect. and the issues were really
not very many, the difficulties between
the operators and the miners might b'
smoothed over. He thought that tho
welfare of the public should carr!
some weight.

Pipe-iitterS Out on sympathetic
SIrike-Firm Refuses TO Grant

THEY DEMAND MORE WAGES

Twenty-three engineers employed atl
The Diamond State Steel Company's
plant are on a strike for higher wages.
They quit work on Saturday night, and
as a consequence nearly all the bigI
plant is idle today.
About month"; ago the engineers
asked for a dollar increase in their
wages. The men make So, $3.50, SO and
81 a week, and work 72 hours.
Their demands were refused by the
company, which offered a dollar to
some of the men, fifty cents to others.
and to Others nothing at all. This Of
fer the engineers refused, saying they
wanted all the men to get the same in
crease.
The company claims that the men
did not have to work as hard, or as
steadily now on account of certain i'm
provements that are going on.
When seen today the engineers said
they have to work harder and had
longer hours.
Because OF the engineers not work
ing today the Old Ferry mills are the
only ones Of the big plant that are
working, all those on this side Of the
creek being idle.
No Hard FEELINGS
An official of the company said this
morning that there are no hard feel.
langs between the men and the firm
and the engineers said the same thing
No new engineers have been employed
The men went to the office at X
lo'ciock to receive their money, bu'
were told it was not ready, but to re
turn an hour later. This they did, anC
were paid.
Pipe-ftters Our
The pipe-fitters of the steel compan.
lhaye gone ont in sympathy with thu
lengineers. The men say they will no
go back unless their demands ar
granted. They intend to seek employ
ment elsewhere. and some Of them al
ready have positions.
Some Of the engineers feel incense
at the treatment they receive
from the company. They told ne
porter for the 1venlng Journal thi
morning that they were always willin
at any time to work. and often stage
: on for thirty-six hours at time. Thei
demands amount TO $3.50 1-3 q day fo
J the whole twenty-three men, whic
, they consider a small concession O.
the part Of the company. They Wi
not take any steps towards preventin
other men from going to work, but the
, say that public safety demands tha
competent men be employed.
One engineer said: AT present
boy who flooded his boiler three time
$ and lost the water twice during th
e lpast week, now has charge of eigIf
? boilers and one engine. Another ma
9 who never had charge of a boiler
i his life, now operates one. If any on
4 of these boilers should blow up

World News.

Various newspapers throughout
England and Germany are clamor-
ing for European intervention IN
Venezuela. The sentiment of all
Europe Is that if the U. S. assumes
a protectorate over South America
and if they make all other countries
keep their "hands off, no matter
how important their interests might
be there, then the U. S. are respon-
sible for good government in the
various republics. Europe cannot
afford to let its immense interests be
at the mercy of Instructions and
bauble governments.
President Roosevelt is making a
tour of New England. On the 26th
lie made speech IN Lowell on the
glory of the American Navy and
another in Boston, on the trusts.
The first speech was better than
the second and more characteristic
him. His trust speech was pattern
of the careful utterance of previous
presidents who have condemned
trusts but shown no definite plar
of action against them. He did no
even speak of The tariff and it'

Owing to the report that Chicka-

country for settlement, people are
rushing to El Reno to register for
land. All have been turned down
by the government officials owing to
lack of definite information on the
subject. However, apprehensive
owners of land in the disputed strip
are considerably excited and have
sworn to defend their property by

there has been no recent survey and
that they do not know what caused
