RESCUED IN MIDOCEAN.
Crew Of Shipwrecked Bark Brought in
to PHILADELPHIA.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, Pa, yester-
day says: After clinging to their capsized
vessel for three days in midocean, the crew
of the Italian bark Vermonte, bound from
Genoa for st. Johns, N. F.. in ballast. was
rescued by the French tank steamer lie
Lion. from Seville, via Gibraltar. for Mar
Gus Hook, Pa, and brought here today
The shipwrecked crew consisted OF Capt
Marina and twelve men. one Of them
negro. The sailors were in an exhausted
condition from exposure when picked up.
The Vermonte encountered heavy weather
after leaving Genoa, but all went well until
Thursday of last week, when she ran into
a heavy gale. The bark was weathering
the storm we'll when her ballast shifted
and the vessel rolled over on her side. The
crew had just time enough to secure bag
of biscuits and some water before she
careened on her beam ends. The men We're
about to abandon the vessel when 1t was
decided to stick to her. Then for three
days the little band of men clung to the
capsized vessel, hoping to be taken off, and
thus avoid the risk of living in a rowboat
on the rough sea.
On Sunday night the bark turned COM
pletely over, and the crew took to a small
boat. Rockets had been sent up, but not
one was seen until early on Monday morn
ing, when the Frenchman hove in sight
capt. ErtranQ saw the distress SlSnal, anu
in response to his call for volunteers the
entire crew responded to go to the rescue
Capt. Ertrand selected the chief mate, sec
ond mate and two Seamen to undertake the
difficult and dangerous task, as the sea was
still very rough.
The volunteer crew reached the ship
wrecked men after a struggle. and finally
got them all on board the steamer. They
were well taken care of and slowly recov
cred from their exposure and terrible ex-
perience. The men are being looked after
by the local Italian consul, and will be sent
to Italy. The Vermonte was abandoned in
latitude 37.25 north. longitude $500 west.

this appeal must be taken directly to

complained of did not constitute a vio-

point is n which can be settled only
by the ruling of the United States

drag along until the public has for
gotten the questions involved, while
other violations of the law are toler-
ated pending a decision of the issue,
the litigation may be made short, sharp

The law under which this desirable

Mr.. HANNA'S MISTAKE.

Congressman Charley Scott says he
is convinced that Senator Mark Hanna
had no thought of advancing his polit-
ical fortunes when he introduced the
bill providing for the pensioning of ne
gro eX-slaves. The idea of pensioning
the eX-slaves is a graft which has been
worked to a finish throughout the
south. A regularly organized gang of
land pirates has been Systematically
bleeding the negroes of money with
which to advance the cause" Recent
ly Mr.. Scott received from a negro
lodge in Kansas a set of resolutions
worded in ~extravagant praise of Sen.
ator Hanna and demanding of the Kan
a delegation the support OF the Han
ma bill. Mr.. Scott forwarded these
resolutions to Senator Hanna. He re-
ceived a reply from the senator saying
81 introduced this bill by request, and
had no information whatever as to the
previous attempts to deceive the col,
ored people of the south with such
hopes" This statement says Mr.. Scott
makes it clear that the senator knows
that the bill will never become a law.
and that he is sorry to have lent his
name through mere good humor to a
scheme which INSCRIPTIONS and dis.
honest men are using to enrich them.

THE AMERICAN INVASION.

Chicago Tribune: The American in
vaion of European countries by 10
means has been confined to the opera
tons of steel or steamship companies
or to the business of Messrs. Morgan
and 4erkes. 1t appears to be an in
vasion all along the line. 1t was but
a few years ago that a leading Eng
fish periodical scornfully asked who
reads an American book?" That same
periodical today sets apart a page for
the special notice and review of Amer
lean books. John Philip Sousa's
performance the other day before the
British court at Windsor palace, and
was not only made to feel at home by
playing without a stage, with the roy
al family in the front row, but person
ally was requested by his majesty to
play the Washington POST and THE
Stars and Stripes Forever. and by her
majesty Hands Across the Sea" and
Dixie" And not only this. but the
king stationed the band of the Scots
guards in the gallery, because Il want
them to hear Mr.. Sousa's band"
Paris, too, has had its American in

is now all the rage, and has supplant-
ed the cancan of the Mabille and the
Chahut, which came in with the expo,
sition. An American troupe, whites
and Creoles. introduced it in the cir
Gus, then it was ~transplanted into a
French version of "Florodora." and
now all Paris is adopting the kick
vallik.' and even cabinet ministers
and reverend bishops are using the
the word satirically in the case of
their associates when they happen to
disagree with them. The kick vallik'
is in all the minor theatres, but not
yet in the Coincide Franchise. though
one critic fearsomely asks. "Shall we
then see Mounet-Sully and Nine. Bar
tet leading in a cake walk between the
acts of Racine's tragedies"
The most remarkable feature of the
invasion is noted by Lady Churchill in
an article in the Pail Mall Magazine,
wherein it is stated that the American
women in Europe are occupying 1.-The
seats of the mighty" BY their versa
tility, beauty, charm and culture they
are more than holding their own in the
political, literary, and diplomatic
world. One secret of their success is
that they adapt themselves to any en-.
vironment without losing their indi-
%viduality. But, greatest triumph of
all, "the general consensus of opinion
is that the American girl is, perhaps,
the best dressed in the world
1t is cheering that while the outcome
of the val with Spain forced us out
into the world, we are making our.
selves felt not only with concessions,
contracts and mergers, but even with
two-steps, cake walks and clothes.

WHY WOMAN SUFFRAGE "GoT
BEAT"

The women of the Topeka lobby
lave given a number of reasons in &C.
counting for the most recent defeat
of their equal suffrage bill. But not
one of them has touched the real rea-
son why a large majority of the Kan
a senators and representatives vot-
ed against this measure. The lobby
is possessed of the notion that the
righteousness of equal suffrage has
not yet been brought home to these
legislators-that they need more ar
gument, more discussion of the funda-
mental spirit of right underlying the
measure, more upluting to a plane of
justice. And here the femole lobby
misses it a mile, for the members of
the Kansas legislature voted against
equal suffrage simply because their
wives and sweethearts-the women
whom lney love and admire-wanted
them to-!
In other words, the legislature of
Kansas is opposed to woman suf-
frage because the evidence is n
vincing that the women of Kansas do
not want the ballot. Granting these
premises, it seems to be suggested
that the agitators for suffrage should
leave the men alone and devote their
energies to convincing the women of
Kansas that they need the ballot. They
may be assured that the men will
never stand out against anything like
a united demand of the woman for
suffrage.-Kansas City Journal.
