EXCURSION STEAMER IN CARIB-
BEAN STRIKES REEF.
PASSENGERS ALL RESCUED
Reach Wrecking Tug by Rowing
Through Heavy Sea-Last Boat
Takes off Mail.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Feb. 1.-THE
Quebec Steamship company's steam
er Madiana, Captain Fraser, which
sailed from New York last Saturday
with a party of excurionists for a
special cruise around the Caribbean
islands, went ashore at 3 o'clock this
morning. The passengers had a
thrilling experience, but all remained
on board and were brought safely to
land after a perilous trip in life boats,
to a wrecking tug standing a mile off.
The mails and passengers baggage
were also saved. According to state
ments made by those on board, the
Madiana was threading her way
through the narrow coral reefs which
leads to Hamilton harbor, when she
| struck a reef one and one-half miles
northeast of North rock. No explicit
explanation is Forthcoming as to how
the vessel went on the rocks, and the
only information obtainable from the
officers is that the light which indi-
Gated the channel for some reason
could not be found.
All the passengers were in their
hunks when the Madiana struck the
rocks, but the shock of the impact
awakened them and they rushed on
deck, the majority of them without
attempting to dress. Considerable
alarm, though not a panic, prevailed
among the passengers when they
found that the vessel was hard on the
rocks, but the officers went among
them and Gained them, although a
number did not venture below again
to seek their clothing. Part of the
crew did not share the GOODNESS of
the officers, but the latter DON Sc
cured order among them. Signals OF
distress were sent up and the pas
sengers passed an anxious time dur
ing the latter part of the night. The
Madiana listed heavily after a time
and when the morning broke lay
broadside to the wind. The passen-
gers were huddled together on the
hurricane deck and the sea breaking
over the steamer drenched them to
the skin.
AS the news of the wreck became
known here the government and other
tugs proceeded to the scene to en-
deavor to render assistance. A heavy
sea, however, wa running and they
dared not approach too closely to the
reef on which the Madiana was puond'
ing. For some time no communities
ton with the Madiana was possible
The tug Gladysfen stood about a mile
off, waiting an opportunity to assist
but it was not until II o'clock this
morning that it became possible to
effect a rescue. The Of the
Madiana launched a boat, but it could
not live in the seat then running and

VERY TAME GAME PLAYED
Neither Team Reaches Its Usual Good
Form and Playing Is Only
Ordinary.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
The eight pins the Sheridan bowl
ers had to the good last night when
the second match with Billings was
begun looked exceedingly small at
the end of the fifth game and for all
the benefit they proved to them
might as we'll not have been scored.
Neither one of the teams was at it's
best and the playing was not of the
kind that results in e records, not
withstanding that as individuals and
teams the men pitted against each
other are above the average. Last
night proved to be one of the times
that come to all bowlers and others
who engage in competitions of skill
times when luck is against Them"
as the saying has it, and do as they
will cannot strike their gait.
A large crowd was present, as
many were anxious to see the men
who had humbled Billings pride when
it's champions invaded Wyoming and
compelled them to come back defeat
ed. But little progress had been made
by either side until it became very
apparent that no records were in
danger and that the match would
not be marked by any brilliant play
ing. In spite of this interest did not
flag and the spectators were generous
in their applause, cheering and ap,
plauding with rare impartiality when
ever any play was made that struck
their fancy or called for manifesto
tions of approval or pleasure.
Following is the score:
Sheridan-Toomey, 1856, 100, 100,
155, 1853. Story, 154, 1874. Norris,
142, 124, 1S9. Luce, 159, 1877, LA, ITS,
1873. Total for team, 1878.
Billings-Corey, 1877, 1853, 200, 1T,
146. Salisbury, 172, 173, 1872, 1853, 1913.
Daniels, 1856, 1874, 2O4, 148, 1T. Total
for team, 1856.
The next game in which a local
team will participate will probably
be with Red Lodge.

Senator cuIIom Preparing to Secure
an Executive Session.
Washington, Feb. 11.-Senator Gull
lom, chairman of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations, said today
that he had decided to give the Pan
ANA canal treaty preference when an
executive session long enough to con-
slider any of the pending treaties
can be secured, for the reason that
the option of the United States to the
franchises and other canal property
OF the French Panama Canal COM
pany expires on March 4 and because
of the announced determination of
Senator Morgan to talk at length on
the treaty.
Mr.. Cullom said he would move an
executive session to take up the
treaties as soon as the consent of the
advocates of the statehood bill can
be obtained. They are still in a po-
sition to prevent executive sessions
of any length which would prevent
discussion on the statehood bill.

was dashed to pieces against the
steamers side. "A second and
successful attempt was made a little
later and some of the passengers
were lowered into 1T, and after much
exertion it succeeded in reaching the
Gladysfen. The Madiana's other life
boats were then launched in success
sion and the remainder Of the passen-
gers and the captain and crew gained
the salvage tug in safety. By the
prompt action of Engineer Nelson,
who had the Madiana's bulkheads
broken through, the mails and the
passengers light baggage were TAX
Ell out and brought in the last boats
to the Gladysfen, which landed the
passengers, crew, mails and baggage
here this afternoon.
Joseph K. Crofut of Hartford, Conn,
one of the passengers, was interview
ed by an Associated Press correspond
ent. He said:
II was in my bunk when the shock
of the steamers stranding awoke me.
I at once hurried out and rushed on
deck, being the first passenger to
reach it. Other passengers streamed
up from below Immediately afterward.
There was no confusion among the
officers or the passengers The Of
ficers faced the situation quietly and
quickly assured the passengers there
was no danger. The crew, however,
who were mostly foreigners. became
disorderly at first, but discipline was
soon restored.
Finding that the center of the ship
was firmly fixed between two rocks
and that there was no immediate dan
ger of her breaking up, the passen-
gers gained confidence. Later we
saw the tug Gladysfen approaching.
She lay to about a mile off, not being
able to come nearer on account of
the heavy sea. At about IL o'clock
one of the Madiana's boats was low
cred, but before anyone could get into
it is was smashed into bits. The 9TH
ship boats were then launched with
better success. The passengers were
attached to slips, the m first,
and lowered into the life boats. 1t
was a dangerous journey to the Glad
ysfen. The boats crews had to pull
through a heavy sea, but no mishap
occurred and we were all seftly en-
barked."

Hazen Maynard, owner of the Capt.

come into possession of the Nesqually
creamery at Sherlock, Thurston coun-
ty, and will operate it in connection
with his factory at Olympia as cen

Still another feature of Mr.. May
nard's expansive policy is the absorb
ing of the milk business of the Jewell
Dairy Company in Olympia, which
business now belongs to the Capital
City Creamery The business men of
Olympia should appreciate this effort
of Mr.. Maynard and boost his enter
prise, for it means much for Olympia.

the milk business too means the dis

+o show that recovery is possible; or,
perhaps to put it more correctly, IN
some cases the disease makes little
or no progress, the tuberculous mat
tor becomes encysted, while in others
the disease advances very rapidly.
AS a whole the bulletin gives strong
testimony as to the value of the Bang

separating them into two herds, keep
ing the herds entirely separate, and
testing the healthy herd some six
months afterwards lest there might
he some cases developed which the tu-
berculin failed to catch the first time,
then breeding the infected herd until
their time of usefulness as breeders
is past, either raising the calves on
sterilized milk or putting them on

mer season there is very little dan
ger of calf taking the disease from
it's dam when it runs with her on the
pasture.
The more the Bang system is tried,
the stronger evidence it presents as
providing the one way out; in fact,
the only way practical for the farmer
or breeder of improved stock, and the
sooner our breeders take hold of this
in a practical way the sooner we will
be rid of this disease.
