The passengers and most of the

the crews on both ships were asleep
below when the disaster happened,
and when the terrible shock and the
grinding noise awakened them a panic
stricken rush for safety took place.
The discipline of the crews on both
ships was admirable. Women first

Tunnel after the life boats had been
prepared for lowering The frightened
colored women piled into the first
boat OF the Saginaw, and ali lost their
lives.

OF the passengers on the steamer Ham

like q pail on the ocean. Suddenly
six bells rang, and | knew that some
thing was wrong. The crash came
next and a grinding which made the
ship shiyer. Nothing had happened

the terrible sight AS l stood there
gazing out to sea the Saginaw ap-
peared, with 20 feet of her stern torn
completely away. SO cleanly was this
part cut off that could look right into
the steamer. At that time she was
still ahoat, but she quickly disap-
peared in the dense fog and sank just
10 minutes after the crash. When the
Hamilton circled and we again saw
the steamer through the fog and mist
only her two masts we're showing as
she had scuttled and was resting
quietly on the bottom. Il was prOvi-
Dental that he sea was quiet. Our
boats brought off is people. Of whom
four were white. The captain was
lashed to the mast with one white pas
senger but two of his ribs were
broken. So great was the confusion
that one man put life preservers on
his feet. and when seen later drowned

EDITORIAL OPINION
Bryan in leO4.

from the BROOKLYN Eagle Qnd Dem.)
Bryan does not know that he is' alive
any better than he knows that the
hand OF time cannot be turned back.
What he fears is not that the country
viii revert TO conditions existing while
Cleveland was ~ power, but that the
Democratic party win resign itself to
the logic of events aud abandon the
fallacies with which Eryan's name is
so inseparably associated. What he
knows as well as iic Knows that he
twice ran for the Presidency, is that
the abandonment Of these fallacies
means that he is to be shelved. He is
calling upon the Chicago and Kansas
City Democrats TO fight for his politi-
cal life. History VII repeat itself II he
can have il so. Nothing IS surer than
that should he control the next con-
vention, both of the platforms upon
which he ran will hc reaffirmed, and
nothing is surer taan that defeat will
follow as consequence He has
everything to gaii and little to lose,
while the party has everything to lose
and nothing to gaiii at his hands.
Every issue OF tho Commoner contains
a never surrendec announcement, and
its editor seems 10 be confident Of the
outcome. That puts IL "up to" the
party. There W.ls something heroic
about the Nebraslxon at Chicago with
his impassloned voice. his flowing
periods, and his flaming cross Of gold
The flames splut'cfed rather than roar
ed at Kansas City--;hc gold was tar
nished but he still survived as a sort
Of idol To the next convention he will
carry the stigma Of the doubly defeat
ed, bidder for the final humiliation OF
rejection where he was twice trium-
phant. The bid wis be accepted.

A QUEER COINCIDENCE.

The publishers say that Cyrus Town.

way. after IL had been completed. Mr..
Brady and his friends had racked their
brains in vain for a title. when some
one called attention 10 the fact that.
without designing it or even realizing
the coincidence until after the book
was written, the author had chosen TO
describe two great battles in both OF

defendants 1t was humiliating enough
even when the consuls had a legal edu-

these positions were ignorant OF law and
utterly unified for judicial duties. In
the latter case the consular judges were
in marked contrast 10 abe japanese

Even when the consuls were quaIi-
fed in other respects for their duties.
it was not always easy to divest them

German and some other ministers re-
fused to recognize. and they claimed the
right TO enact regulations in the port

American minister required all the YES

Japan's Diplomatic Liberality.
The early relations between Japan and
China and the European world make
interesting reading. albeit the conclu-
sion is not very fattering 20 the Occi-
dent Japan especially showed a spirit
or liberantv which goes far to Justify
the claims * made N that time OF SUI

Both in regard 10 religion and COM
