MANY OTHER DISASTERS REPORTED.

NORFOLK, va. Sept Io.-Tne 5T.s.--- Ts.-
steamship Rokeby, Captain Shields.
which arrived here from Port Inglis,
has on board Domingo Ballo Reyar-
beray, survivor Of the crew Of
% men on the British steamship Mexi-
cano, which foundered with all on
board off the North Carolina coast
Tuesday night. Reyarberay caught a
piece of wreckage and managed to
keep up until he was seen by the
Rokeby and rescued. Six other mem
bers Of the crew were saved by the
steamer Vidar and landed at New
York.
The Spaniard, through an interpre-
ter, told of the Mexicanos sinking.
The steamer was bound from Tampico
for Vera Cruz with a cargo of petro-
leum in bulk. when the full force of
the hurricane broke upon her. Noun
famous seas broke constantly over the
ship and finally one gigantic wave
crashed through her decks. The fire
room was flooded and the Mexicano be-
came helpless. For few moments she
wallowed in the trough or the seas
and then plunged to the bottom. The
rescued man says hundreds Of gallons
of oil were poured over the ships side
in a vain attempt TO calm the sea and
If possible save the ship. When the
Mexicano went down the crew went
with her. All boats had long since
been crushed by the force of the waves
and tho men were powerless to save
themselves.
Ballo Reyarberay went under with
the vessel and by merest chance be-
came entangled in some looose rigging
and spars. The buoyancy Of these
brought him to the surface and he made
himself fast to the largest spar. For
seven hours he fioated in a turbulent
sea until finally the Rokeby hove in
sight His rescue was a daring one.

BOATS NARROW ESCAPE
TIE Lawrence Arrives at Norfolk, va,
After Terrible Voyage.

TIE Lawrence Arrives at Norfolk, va,
After Terrible Voyage.
Norfolk Va, sept. 18.-After battling
for eight hours with a hurricane that
sent many much larger and stauncher
craft to the bottom, the torpedo boat
destroyer Lawrence poked her crum-
pied nose into port with foot Of water
in her after machine room and tne
quarters of the officers. The Lawrence,
under the command of Lieutenant A.
M. Proctor ran head first into the hur-
ricane while a little south Of Atlantic
City on her way to this naval station.
The little craft frequently was entirely
buried beneath the ponderous waves
that hurled themselves with terrific
force against her sides, and when she
reached port she plainly showed the
marks of the battle she had won.
A complete survey of her injuries
has not been made at this writing. 1t
is known that the plates on her port
bow are badly buckled and smashed,
several seams are opened, allowing a
liberal leakage, her bridge is carried
away and all over she is badly Scared.
That the boat could have weathered
the gale is regarded as being a great
victory for the seaworthiness of craft
of her class. and that no one Of her
crew was lost is regarded at the navy
yard as nothing short Of miraculous.

EoR A TRuE DgLINouENr ISL.

We rise to repeat that the law says
that the assessors and collectors shall
annually publish full list Of delin-
quents. specifying that delinquents are
persons who have not paid taxes for tho
preceding year. a list has been pub
lsh and the taxpayers win have TO
pay it, but It is not "full' list and
the names omitted from the published
list are numerous. The collectors plead
''custom," but we plead the law; first
because It is TIE law, and. second, be-
cause It is a good law. II you, gentle
reader. have pinched and saved to paS
your tax in order that your name may
not be published among the list Of de

We protest that we have no desire

Senator smoot.

From the Atlanta Constitution (Dem).
The attention of the country has
been attracted to the adverse action of
the Lutheran synod OF New York and
New Jersey. which recently had un-
der consideration petitions asking that
it join In some sort OF a crusade to se-
cure the expulsion from the United
States Senate of the Mormon Senator
from Utah.
There seems to be a systematic effort
to commit general bodies representing
the different churches to a movement
to secure the unseating OF Senator
Smoot because of his religious beliefs.
This same sort of movement was set
on foot to prevent the seating of Sem
ator Smoot when he reached Washing
ton with credentials showing him to be
the duly elected Senator from his State,
but it failed at that time, there being
absolutely no grounds upon which he
could be prevented from taking the
oath of ofiice. Now It is announced
that the w c. T. u, or rather. some
OF its members, are engaged in get
ting up anti -Smoot petitions in the
hope that they may arouse public SEN
timent to a stage where the Senate will
be influenced to unseat this particular
Senator. In this movement there is an
apparent effort to make It appear that
the Smoot case Is on the same footing
as the case OF Representative Roberts
who was denied a seat In the House oi
Representatives The cases are not a
all identical. Representative Roberts
was denied his seat not because he wa
a member Of the Mormon Church, bu
because he was living in polygamy II
defiance OF the laws OF the land. TIL
evidences OF polygamous practice
against him were so clear that he mad
no denial II was for this fragrant VIC
lation of the law that he waa exclude,
from Congress.
No charge of poiygamy has beei
raised against Senator Smoot. H
claims he was never a polygamist be
fore the time OF the admission Of Utal
to Statehood, and there is no charg
that ne has been guilty OF that Grim
since.

ally obnoxious to Senator Alice" Was
that sufficient reason for removing an
efficient postmistress against whom no
charges had been hled? asked Miss Todd.
The Postmaster General answered that
1t was Sufficient"
II appears that the Postmaster Cen
eral could have dismissed Miss Todd
without giving any reason, and she would
probably have had no case against him,
because Vt is impossible TO divine what is
passing through mans mind; but, mas
much as he has said that he dismissed
her for political reasons. we trust that
inc Todd case will not be permitted to
rest.
In the larger aspects Of this spoils-
mongering there can be but one opinion.
whether or not the removal iE in con-
travention Of the technical rules Of tho
Civil Service or Of the plain law, who
can doubt that the President IS taking
a great step backward when he permits
his Postmaster General TO use his office
and the Presidents name and power 20
further the cause OF Addicks in Dela-
ware? The thing itself is bad enough, but
the manner of II Is execrable. The spoils-
man Payne declares that There were no
charges. and then turns about and de-
clares that there were charges made by
Senator Alice. After an intolerable deal Of
shifting and shuffing in many contra
dictory statements, 1t now appears that
Mr. Payne gives as a new reason for
his action that Delaware State Senator,
an Addaoxs worker, had objected Eo
Miss Todd.
And so IL seems that an attempt is
now being made 10 Trump up case
against Miss Todd in a most nauseating
manner in order TO justify her dismissal
In the interest OF Addicksism.
How will the President the strenuous
civil service reformer, regard these things
President Roosevelt, the man who, as
the lste Sneaker Reed said humorously,
invented the moral law-so much IS he in
the habit OF insisting on the cleanly, the
decent and the honorable?
