went away together full of youth

its brave colors, and hear the cuckoo,

stairs, and as they passed through
the city they were instantly aware of
great excitement. 1t was impossible
not to feel that something of great

A MARINE DISASTER
FiFTY-FOUR LIVES LOST IN
STRAITS OF JUAN DE FUCA.
Every Woman and Child Aboard
Steamer Clalam Sacrificed to
Fierce Storm Which Caused
Vessels Ruin.

The new steamer Clallam, OF the
Seattle-Victoria fleet, went down ear
ly Saturday morning midway between
Smith island and Dungeness in the
straits of Juan de Fuca, says dis
patch from Seattle, Washington.
Fifty-four persons were drowned.
Every woman and child aboard the
Clallam was a sacrifice to the fierce
storm that ragged in the straits.
Within three miles of the shore and
at time when it appeared certain
the Clallam could not be saved, des-
perate effort was made to save the
women and children in the life boats.
They were placed in the first boat to
leave the ship, which Captain Law
renee, a Yukon pilot, volunteered to
command, and which was manned by
deck hands. The fraiI craft went
down within sight of the Clallam.
A second life boat filed with male
passengers and in command of Sec
ond Officer Currin, was probably lost
a few minutes later Aboard the Clal-
lam watchers saw waves sweep pas
sengers from their hold on the seats
and hurl them into the waters.
Though the life boat was righted
later, still afoat, diligent search ex-
tending for twenty hours has failed to
find trace of her. More passengers
and members of the. crew were lost
when a third life boat was swamped
in an attempt to launch it.
Three passengers were picked up by
the steamer Bahata, who had fastened
life preservers about their bodies
They had died from exposure and their
bodies were brought to Seattle Sun
day.
The Clallam was a staunch, new
passenger boat on the Seattle-Victoris
run. She left Port Townsend for Vic
torio, facing a terrific southwest gale
Within sight Of her destination huge
sea overwhelmed the little steamer
in her headlights. flooding
her hold with water, extinguishing the
fires beneath her boilers and placing
her at the mercy of a bowling gale

guard Of soldiers, was in attendance.
He then entered a lofty, royalty

were waiting his arrival-officers of
the army, and members of Parlia-

Cromwell opened the discussion by
reminding the members that he had

Parliament, and then discharge itself
-'This is what the people want in
every corner Of the nation" he said,
"and they are laying at our doors
the non-performance of this duty and
of their wishes"
Hazelrig reminded him that Parlia-
ment had determined to dissolve on
the Sd of the ensuing November,
after calling for a new election.

me leave to tell you that the Sd of
November will not do. Such a far-o1
promise is but words for children.

This speech had marked effect
The Parliamentary members agreed
to let the bill for perpetuating them
selves live over until after another
conference to be held the following
day, and with this understanding, the
members Of the Council separated.

and spurs. 81 told you, Doctor, this
morning, that settlement of some
kind must come to-day When 1
reached Whitehall I found the Lord
General waiting for Sir Harry Vane
and the members who had promised
to come and continue the conference
relating to the bill early in the day.
The General was occupying himself
with a book, but as the hours went
by he grew restless and laid it down.
Then he turned to me and said,
Truly these men are long in coming;
are you ready, General?' and before
| could answer he asked again ready
and willing?' I told him a word
would move my troop as one man,
if that word came from himself. and
he waited silently a little longer.
Then Lord Cluny Neville came in
very hastily, and said few words,
know not what they were, and he had
scarce gone when Col. Ingoldsby en-
tered, and there was no secrecy then.
My lord! he cried, Parliament
is sitting at this moment. and Sir
Harry Vane, Sidney and Henry Mar
ten are urging the immediate pass

whole nation
Then Cromwell reused himself
like an angry lion. His passion at
this perfdious conduct leaped into
fame, he shouted to Lambert and his
own troop Of Ironsides. He gave me
the signal understood, and we went
quickly to the Parliament house.

WeatherWiSe.

The Or,gonion, in an article on
" End OF a Long Dry Season. disputes
the assertion Of "Old Settler"
depend upon memory for their judy
ment and with whom latest impress
sions are generally dcepcst-tlat it
has been without parallel. By " sea.
son. however, is meant the summer
months-Jnne, July and August
during which, in 1883 the banner
summer for want of precipitation, only
81 OF an inch fell, while this year,
during those months I.3S inches iell
at the Oregon metropolis.
Still, says that journal, those who
insist that they never saw so dry a
season as the one just past, need not
yield their views. If you take the Pc
Rod OF sunshine, which extends from
May to September, il is surely the rec
ord breaker, for in the five months this
year, the total rainfall at Portland was
only = % inches, while in 1883 for the
same five months, it was 2Gl.
In substantiation of the Orcgonian's
report, that this has not been the dry
est summer, we have the figures OF Mr..
OConnor, the local weather observer,
who gives for June, July and August,
1883, %; the same months 1895, 40 :;
and for the like period OF the present
year, $50. In August, 1885, he re-
ports no rain, and the same in July,
1856 in July, 1883, and August. 1895,
only trace was shown, less than .0l
of an inch. But the five months OF
the present year, with a rainfall of
$50 inches, was 3.6S inches below the
average, S4S, but still not the dryest,
for the same period in 1890, shows
Ais inches, which is the dryest re.
corded season OF sunshine since the

The Evils Of a Second Term.

1t is perhaps inevitable that Presi-
dent who is candidate for reelection
should "play politics for all it is worth
to gain votes. Hardly day passes that
Mr.. Roosevelt does not butt in" He
obliged Senator Lodge by holding up the
"pickled sheepskin' order. He has
just overruled the Collector of Customs
at Boston to oblige some influential i'm
porters. And now he suspends a War
Department order issued in the interest
OF efficiency and economy so as to give
plece-work to wives, widows or daugh-
tiers OF old soldiers. ~. Y. World.
Herein are depicted the grounds on
which opposition to third-term are
so soundly based. Although Roosevelt
aspires to second election as Presi-
dent. sad fatality placed within his
grasp the immense patronage of the
better part OF an unexpired term which
he has used without stint for his own
selfish purposes. 1t is folly to assume
that man OF his stamp would not
use it as a stepping stone for third,
or fourth term, or for imperial rule, if
the temper of the people could be
swayed so far from popular government
to make the proposition seem feasible.
There is too much egotism in the
Presidents nature to make him safe

THE AUTO AGAIN GATHERS IN VIC
TIMs.-The automobile is again re-
sponsible for another of those horrible
disasters which seem inseperable from
the high speed at which wealthy ma.
hobs persist in driving them. This
casualty was in 300-mile race over
Long Island roads, last week, in o con-
test for splendid cup presented by
William X. Vanderbilt, Jr. 1t was
won by Heath in a 80 horsepower
Panhard machine, in 5 hrs, &c min
and 45 sec.; average speed 1.02 per
mile. A Pope. Toledo car, driven by
Clement, came in only min. and 80
seconds later. A Mercedes, driven by
George Arents, Jr., its millionaire own
er, collapsed, however, and precipitated
its driver and the machinist riding
with him to the ground, killing the
latter and placing Arents in the hos
pital with wounds that will probably
end in death.
