ILL-TREATED IN VENEZUELA.
Hardships of Sailors Who Were
Wrecked on an InhOspitable Shore.

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
March 1O.-The crew of the Porto Rican
schooner Rapido. which has been wrecked
on the Venezuelan coast, have arrived here
and give an account of their experiences
as follows: The Rapido, which was bound
for Curacao with a cargo of lignum vitae,
went ashore during a recent gale on the
coast of Venezuela and became a total
wreck. The crew of five gained the shore,
from which they took three days to reach
the port of Corro. They had to trudge
through an inhospitable country without
food or water, while the revolutionists
whom they encountered on their way
threatened them and robbed them OF their
money and clothing, in spite of their pro-
tests that they were shipwrecked Amer
lean sailors. They then met with the gov
eminent troops, who detained them and
made the sailors follow them. The ship
wrecked men were finally released and the
United States consular agent at Zorro had
them forwarded here the Venezuelan
sloop Linda. The consul here has given
them relief and their passages to Porto
Rico.

GOOD SUGGESTION.

Milwaukee Sentinel
The suggestion that the Wisconsin ouild-
ing at the st. Louis worlds fair be built
in such a manner that il can be taken
down at the close of the fair and brought
to the State for use here is a good one
and should be adopted. According TO the
published accounts of the plans of the
commissioners, as outlined to Legislative
committee. the proposition is to use the
structure as an ordinary public building.
but the Sentinel would suggest that
c, ter plan would be to use II for a perma-
nent exhibit of the States resources and
interests.
character to be of real value to the State
as an advertising medium. 1t will neces-
sarily nave an educational value also. Ii

have a hall wherein could be displayed per-
manent exhibits which would show not only
the character OF the natural resources and
advantages of the State, but the advance.

1t be determined In advance to bring the
building and its contents to the State for
preservation, the exhibit could be arranged
with view TO enhancing is value as an
educational feature. One Of the South
American republics designed its exhibit TO
the Buffalo fair with such an end in view,
and erected a building of structural steel
which could be taken down readily. The
building and its contents were taken home
at the close of the fair to BE used as an
advertisement of the country's industries
and resources.
If represented at all Wisconsin should
have an exhibit at the ST. Louis fair which
will adequately represent the greatness of
the State. Such an exhibit will cost a
large sum of money, and IL it can be made
of lasting benefit to the people OF the State
there will be additional incentive tor max
ing the appropriation. Let the suggestion
be adopted and the commissioners be given
money enough to erect a building and get
together an exhibit of which the people of
Wisconsin may be proud

MANY FIGHTS in GAME
MURPHY, OF ANDERSON TEAM, WAS
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Whipple Dumped Him and Way

Victory for Indianapolis.

Anderson scored the first goal against
Indianapolis last night in the first period.
but after that the Irishmen were not in
the game to any great extent, and Indian
apolis, by the most exciting plays and beau
tiful team work, piled up seven goals, the
final score being to l i'm favor of Indian
apolis. 1t has been said that when Samp-
son had his hair cut he lost his strength,
but this was not the case with Captain
Hipson. The Indianapolis first rusher ap-
peared on the floor last night showing evil
dences of having paid a recent visit to q
tonsorial artist, but the loss of his hair
did not weaken him. 1t seemed to give
him more strength, and he played very
brilliant game. His drives carried more
speed than has been displayed for several
weeks. The score was one-sided, but tina.
did not detract from the interest of the
contest. When the spectators grew little
weary of watching the fierce play on the
floor there would be a lively scrimmage
enliven the interest. Murphy. well remem-
bered for his many scraps in this city, was
bellicose last night and he chewed gum and
tried to dump the Indianapolis players
He made a rush at Whipple early in the
tHiIu peIlou, Dut WHipple saw MIN COM
ing and pushed him to the floor, much to
the delight of the spectators. who like to
see some excitement. Murphy and Way
came to blows in the latter part of the third
period and Way was playing tattoo with
his right on Murphy's face when the other
players separated them.
Murphy was not the only visiting player
to rough it last night. Three fouls were
called during the game, and had Referee
Moran displayed a little nerve he would
have called many more on the visiting play
ers. Mullen held Hipson by the collar to
prevent him from caging the ball, and
some of the other visitors thought nothing
of tripping the Indianapolis men.
Coggshall was out of the game last night,
as he was unable to play on account of a
severe injury to his right thumb sustained
in the game at Anderson on Monday night.
Whipple was at center, and he played the
best game since he has been wearing an
Indianapolis uniform.
The Indianapolis players seemed deter
mined to secure revenge for the defeat at
Anderson the night previous, and they
played a star game from start to finish
