San Francisco, Cal, Nov 23.-Nine
men from the French bark Francois
Cope who were picked up in an open
boat by the steam schooner Scotia, are

others refusing to talk:
About $50 Friday night the Fran

and then they were launched. In the
boat with me were eight others. We
got away safely.
1.-The boat taken by the captain was
dashed against the laundering vessel
and the men in it were thrown into the
sea and washed away. We had been
drifting around for more than twenty
hours when picked up by the Scotia.
CAPTAIN Johnson of the Scotia thinks
it strange that the boat should have
had no officers in it. and that, under

seen along the coast and mariners hint
of possible trouble on board the Fran

Philips today, but saw no indications

TO ENTER POLITICS.
New York Labor Unions to Form a
Political Party.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Central La
Dor union of this city has inaugurated
movement to form a purely labor po-
lftical party. A committee composed of
Democrats, Republicans and Socialists
was named to draw up a platform The
action followed addresses by fraternal
delegates from England to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at meeting
of the Central Labor organization
These delegates told of the success of
the trades unions in English politics
In England they said there were now
five labor representatives in the house
of commons and at the next election it
was expected that thirty more would be
elected.
I'VE have the support of the Irish
party pledged to US" said Mr.. O'Grady,
one of the delegates, and with this
strength in the British parliament we
will hold the balance of power and if
we use it with discretion we shall be
able to meet the great opposition to or
ganized labor and force recognition of
the unions throughout Great Britain
Some of the prominent labor men of
the city say that as soon as a local COM
mittee formulates plans a national la
Dor convention will doubtless be called,
probably within a few weeks. and steps
taken to make the movement national
in scope.

EVEN THE BURGLAR DECLINED
Rejected Manuscripts Of Struggling

ed retired literary man. according to
the New York Sun. Il had one little ex-
perience that at the time chagrined me
deeply, though have since then many
a time laughed over It heartily.
In those days my manuscript came
back to me with practically unfailing
regularity. as. suppose, that OF most
young writer's does; and. as l had the
eager Industry OF youth and worked
hard and fast and produced good deal
or stun, very soon had a considerable
collection Of rejected manuscripts
which I kept neatly stacked up in piles
IN a bookcase In my room, rapidly in
creasing accumulation.
~One day my room was visited by
burglar, who stripped It Of pretty nearly
everything portable. but never tooz one
Of my manuscripts. which I considered
to be the most valuable Of all my pos
sessions. He had opened that book
case, turned one Of those piles so that be
could inspect It and. when he had dis
covered what is was, turned it partly
back and so left IT, My manuscript was
rejected by even the burglarl
Il got some little satisfaction from the
thought that he might once have been
literary man himself. who had been
driven to burglary. as a means Of sup
port, by the rejection OF his own manu-
scripts and who. prompted by sympa-
thetic, brotherly feeling. had now left
behind what he knew must regard as
my dearest treasures. But that fancy
was short-lived and could only con-
clude that he had left them for the same
reason that the publishers had all re-
jected them--because he saw no value
in them: the burglar couldn't use them
even as junk.
"And ridiculous as It may seem to you
