FOUGHT WAVES BACK
FROM THE MULF0RD.
seamen's Long Battle TO Save Their
Craft Was without Anvil.

New York, March 2-The Allen Line
steamer Laurentian, which arrived
from Glasgow, brought seven ship
wrecked seamen, members of the crew
of the American schooner Anna L.
milford, which was abandoned in
mid-Atlantic in sinking condition.
The crew of the milford was taken
off by the British steamer Wasthall
on Jan. 25,. and landed by that steam
er at Glasgow, Feb. 10, and sent home
by the United States consul. The
Anna l.. milford, Capt. Flentge, sailed
from Charleston, Jan. 5, with a cargo
of phosphate rock for Barren Island.
The crew say that the schooner fell in
with gales and generally stormy
weather. The vessel was leaking
slightly from the time of sailing. The
rough seas pounded the craft so vio-
lently that the leak became serious ON
Jan. II, and the men were sent to the
pumps.
Several steamers passed by, but
Capt Flentge did not communicate
with them. On Jan. 49, the British
steamer Mount Royal, from New Or
leans for Bremen, spoke the schooner
and asked If assistance was required.
Capt. Flentge asked to be towed to
New York. The captain of the
Mount Royal refused to tow, but offer
ed to take off the crew Capt. Flentge
refused this asking for the longitude.
The Mount Royal then steamed away.
The schooner for several days ex-
perienced terrific gales and lost all her
sails. The water in the hold increased
continuously in spite of the work of
the pumps. In these heavy gales the
schooner was blown off shore. The
vessels position was unknown until
White Star Line cargo steamer came
along and gave the longitude. The
colors had been set for distress sig
nails, but when the captain Of the liner
asked II assistance was required, Capt.
FIentge ordered the colors down and
asked for the longitude.
On Feb. rs the British steamer
Westhall took off the crew. The
schooner at this time was awash, the
seas breaking clean over her. The
crew say that they never refused to
work the pumps: their own safety re-
CURED them to do so. At all times
those at the pumps were standing
waist deep in water, as the decks were
continuously flooded.

Quebec, March MIR Pelletiere, in
his remarks this afternoon in the
House, on the Gaynor-Greene matter,
scored the Attorney Generals depart

lice to Montreal to help the attorneys
for the accused bring back their clients
TO Quebec.
He said it was customary to see
the Attorney Generals department
look after the interests of justice, but
in this case one of the counsel for the
accused was the partner of the Attor-

was a partner of the premier OF this

instead, they were allowed to occupy

washington, March 2.-The full text
If President Roosevelt's letter to Clark
Howell. editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. regarding Southern appoint
rnents. an abstract of which was pub
1ished this morning, was made public
to-day. In beginning his letter, which
is dated Feb. "a. President Roosevelt
says:
.My Dear Mr.. Howell: 1 have a
high opinion of the gentleman you
mention and if the opportunity ever
occurs 1 shall be glad to do anything
can for him.
Now, as to what you say concern
ing federal appointments in the South.
Frankly. it seems to me that my APP
continents speak for themselves, and
that my policy is self-explanatory. So
far from feeling that they need the
slightest apology or justification, my
position is that on the strength of what
7 have done 1 have the right to claim
the support of all good citizens who
wish not only high standard of fed
eral service, but fair and equitable
feeling to the South as we'll as to the
North, and a policy of consistent JUS
tice and good will toward all men,
Not n "SOme Men Down. Man.
Further along he says:
Il have scant sympathy with the
mere doctrinaire, with the man of mere
theory who refuses to face facts; but
do you not think that in the long run it
is safer for everybody if we act on the
motto, "All men up rather than that
of Some men down"
In your own state of Georgia you
are competent to judge from your own
experience. In the great bulk of the
cases I have reappointed President Nc
Kinley's appointees. The changes I
have made, such as that in the post
mastership at Athens and in the sur
VeyOrShip at Atlanta, were, as THINK
you will agree, changes for the better,
and not for the worse 1t happens that
IL each of these offices / have appoints
ed a white man to succeed a colored
man.
IF you know of any federal office
holder in Georgia of whom this is not
true, pray let me know at once. 1
will welcome testimony from you or
from any other reputable citizen which
will tend to show that a given public
officer is unworthy; and, most emphat-
ically. short will be the shrift of any
one whose lack of worth is proven"
Service Must be Good.
Referring to the fact that a large
percentage of the incumbents of fed
eral offices in Georgia are Democrats
the President says:
But they are supported by me in
every way as long as they continue to
render good and faithful service to the
public.
Il have good reason to believe that
my appointees in the different states
Northumberland as the sum of the
parts is the whole, necessa rily in the
South at large-represent not merely
an Improvement upon those whose
places they took, but upon the whole
higher standard of federal service
than has hitherto been attained in the
communities in question"

magnificent building. The cost OF the
latter is placed at $4,000. Gardeners
and florists are to be called to do all Ii.

ing of sermons.
Ali church entertainments are to be
held on the roof garden. There quar-.
tets will sing and musicians play
throughout the summer months. An.
other feature Of this new church Is the
fact that its doors are never to- be
closed.

worship that is closed ~six-sevenths Of

Reign Seville, the pastor.
'"There is no use," answered his con-

close the doors.
That means all departments Of the
church will be wide open. Any .ones
feeling a bit too wideawake to seek
sleep can visit the library at any hour

that will certainly do him no harm.
There is but one roof garden church in

first OF its kind in Chicago. The audi

gallery will increase its seating ca

a large gymnasium. It's not the inten-
ton to allow only the members of the
church to use this. The boys and girls
Of the neighborhood, whether they are

Ur 7zeN z
One of the most remarkable in
stances Of the power Of personal popu-
larity is furnished by Manager Dono-
van of the st. Louis Nationals. With
a weak club and holding seventh po-
sition in the league, the same place the
American club holds, he draws more
people than the Americans, and there
Is less abuse directed toward him.
It cost the Nationals $4,000 this sea-
Q to retain Donovan, but it was a
good investment. It is said that the IN
popularity Of the st. Louis Browns is
due to the players ugly disposition to-
ward the fans. When they win at
home and the fans give them praise
they return insulting remarks, but
when the Browns lose the rooters hand
out sarcastic remarks in large chunks,
with not an iota of sympathy for their
misfortunes.
