From this situation a number of com

EOC SEvGLT HELPS WOOD.

WASHINGTON. y. c., Jan. 12-En-
emies OF the administration and opao-
nents of Gen. Leonard Woods confirm
alton 10 be MA or- general, are making
much Of Gen. James Wilson's testimony
before the senatorial committee, winch
mas just been made public.
Gen. Wilson argued with great earn
estness against Gen. Woods promotion
and said every officer III the army re-
scented it. Wilson went on to tell the
committee of an interview he had with
the president ut his home in oyster
Bay after he had been elected vice
president, but before ne became proei-
dent.
He began said General Wilson. &C.
cordng to the printed copy of the tes-
timony, in rather extraVagant terms
OF praise Of Gen. Wood, Whereupon |
said to him:
"'Gov. Roosevelt, l think you are
perhaps mistaken about that. If | am
correctly Informed, Gen. Wood never
was under fire in his life until the
Spanish war began, either in the Ge"-
Onimo campaign or at any other time.
In the Spanish war he was never in
but one battle and that at Las Quasi
mas, where but for his rescue and sup
port by colored troops he would nave
been badly handled
oh, yes said Mr.. Roosevelt he
was at San Juan to which l replied:
II beg your pardon: he was not.
You know that he was in the rear look
ing for ammunition.
Yes said Mr. Roosevelt, but do
not tell anybody
Now why did he not want me TO
tell anybody? l did not pursue the
subject any further, and that Is yne
last word that ever passed between US
with reference to Gen. Wood
The extent OF any further fight to be
against the confirmation of
Gen. Wood depends, it was stated by
leaders, entirely upon the
attitude of Senator Hanna. If Hanna
will make the Wood case personal
matter and pursue the fight to finish,
Senators German and Carmack Will
stand by him to the end.

Woman's Face Crushed.

witnesses stated that his feet
struck a woman full in the face. They
say that even though the time was
dieting. they saw clearly that the wo-
mans face was crushed in beyond hope
Of recognition. The force of the mans
fall careened the boat far to leeward.
\ great wave, bearing death upon its
fOaming crest, swept down upon it.
The air was full Of the terrible cries
OF helpless women. Babies screamed
in terror as they chung to their moth
er's breast. Strong men on board the
Clallam turned their heads away. The
boat sank before any one had time to
think of assistance. And the man who
caused it all went down with her.
No one seemed to know who the man
was. At least, none of the survivors
who saw the act would volunteer his
name. Suffice to say, his one act
darkened countless homes and sent at
least twenty souls into the fathomless
depths of eternity.

ONE MAN CAUSES 20 DEATHS
Leaps From Vessel to Crowded Life
boat an! Sinks It.

One mans selfishness cost score OF
lives.
Such is the awful tribute that must
be charged UP to one fear-crazed man
of the steamship Clallam. It only
goes to show what men will sometimes
do when driven to desperation and
fear.
In this particular case the innocent
lives of helpless women and children
were sacrificed. Either tossed from
wave to wave or lying on the bottom
Of Puget sound are the bodies OF TWEEN
ty persons, the mute result of the cow
ardice of one lone man.
At O'Clock Friday.
The awful catastrophe took place
about 5 O'Clock Friday afternoon. At
that time the Clallam was in a sink
ing and we'll nigh helpless condition.
Capt. Roberts was driven almost to his
wits ends. The lives of his passen-
gers and crew were held. one might
say, in the hollow OF his hand. He en-
deavored to launch a boat from the
windWard side Of the ship. It swamped
and sank.
Turning his attention to the leeWard
side, he succeeded in floating a life
boat on the wavese. II was quickly
filled with women and children. Mem
bers of the crew took charge and the
boat was roWed swiftly away. and in
the direction of Port Townsend.
Men Fight for Places.
Another boat was lowered. This time
a few of the male passengers could
stand it no longer. They pushed the
women aside and quickly lowered
themselves into the boat. They rowed
away from the ship They had not
gone far before a heavy sea broke over
the gunwales, and the boat never
Weathered the gale.
\ third boat was put off, and this
time Capt. Roberts succeeded in filing
her with the remaining women and
children. 1t proved to be Il fatal move. |
Just as the boat was leaving the Wa ter |
logged steamship, a man .leaped to the
rail of the vessel and with the re-
mark, BY God, that boat don't leave |
without me- he leaped through the |
air and fell downward toward the |

WAS A BETHANY BALL PLAYER.

While Governor Odell, of New
York, was IN Washington the other
day he stepped on to the floor OF
the house and diverted his mind
with "reminiscences. Dropping into
seat beside Representative Ache
son, he said:
"Acheson, do you remember how
the w. & J. base ball team did up
our team from Bethany college,
West Virginia, way back in 1871"
Acheson, surprised, confessed he
had forgotten that glorious victory,
although he was left fielder on the
w. & J. team that identical year.
II didn't know you we're at Beth
any, governor" he added.
"Sure, | was al Bethany, and I
played short stop on the Bethany
team that year and in the game in
which you did US up. You gave us
an awful drubbing by ringing in on
us pitcher with kink we had never
run up against before. His nam
was Bowman, and he pitched curv
ed balls in a way that demoralized
us. We had never seen it done be
fore, and all our fellows who got TO
bat did nothing but fan the air. It
was awful"

LIKE A SECOND SoAn's ARK.

When Noah anchored the Ark on
Mount Ararat and landed his nena.
gerie--then supposed TO he the
greatest show ON earth"--that
patriarch never dreamed that he
would have close second in Cap
tain Russ, of the Hamburg Ameri-
can steamer Bethania, which arrived
in port Monday from Hamburg ~
way of New York and Boston.
When the Bethania arrived in New
York she had on board s4s animals
and birds, the largest number afloat,
according to natural history statis-
ticians, since the expedition of
Noah. The animals travelled first
class, and the ship was given up to
them so far as passenger accommo-
dation was available. They had as
attendants Lorenz Hagenbeck, son
of the exporter in Hamburg, who
had personal charge; Peter Barlow
and Corrodini, two elephant train.
ers, and 20 Singhalese mahouts.
This is the passenger list: "a ele-
plants, ~ lions, tigers, n camels,
S dromedaries, 3 zebras, 3 zebrules,
20 assorted bears, 4 kangaroos. I
llama, laughing hyenss. aoudad,
20 deer, l baboon or blue nosed
mandril, > os,riches. tapir, tam
talus, 90 monkeys and IFS horses.
Captain Russ said the trip over
was marked by a bedlam of lam
guages that would have done credit
to Tbs days of Babel. The inquis-
itiveness OF Shere Ali, a mammoth
elephant, caused trouble to the ship.
Needing some wire to pack up his
own an relatives trunks before go
ing ashore, he succeeded in his in
vestigations in finding what was 10
him simple threads of metal. They
were the wire ropes connecting the
steering gear He tore them loose,
and while doing the packing act the
vessel suddenly began to give lrou-
bic. -Four men were kept at the
wheel steering the ship by hand
because Shere Ali could not be re-
moved to make the necessary re-
pairs.
Passing close to Nantucket light
ship, the animals smelled the land
and gave the keepers their choicest
hymn of thanks. Captain Russ sig
nailed for the Marconi wireless tele.
grapher to notify his agents in New
York to send two tugs to meet him
IN the channel.
Several of the crew met with acct
dents in their endeavors to entertain
their guests. The steel nosed peIi-
can reminded one of the officers that
he was coming too close, and the
boats-wain saved the better part OF
himself from the fangs of enc of
lions. The biue-nosed mandril
punc,ured the leg OF the steward,
who is yet lame, and much clothing
was lost by members of the crew
from important parts of their anat-
omies. As for escapes, everyone on
the ship has something to tell Of how
he was saved from one or the other
Of the beasts.
This great aggregation Of animals
and birds is intended for Coney Is
land for the durbat spectacle, and
also for Hagerbeck's "Pike" at St. |
LOUIS Exposition.
