STORM BATTERED AND IN DISTRESS COQUBLLE RETURNS
Gales Keep Little Vessel From Reaching Bandon

The schooner Coquelle, Captain
Sprfncer which left here october y 1or
Bardoa. returned from sea yesterday IN
distress She had been unable to reach
,he O-tgou port AID IN the effort to
orercoIae The opposition Of repeated
..ales sustained considerable damage.
But FOR The fact, however, that food
and provisions save out, Captain
Snriuger would not have abandoned the
attempt to reach his port OF destlha-
ton.
The CoquelIe left here October p and
. November ] was off Bandon- SOUTH
casters and so-uthWesters in bewilder-
ing succession drove her to sea ana
kept driving her until an observation
showed that She WAS in latitude 1913
north. She was spoken December l OF
Siuslaw by the steamer Whittier ana
supplied with provisions
More gales followed, but between
the.u she managed to get another lock
al BauGon, only TO be whlskeo OH 10
sea acain. When the food supplied by
the Whittier gave out and the water
supply ran low, Captain Springer de-
cided that home was the best place Tor
The C0auelle. She appeared of the
port early yesterday morning and late
in the afternoon the tug Alert brought
her into the harbor.
Her rigging on the port side ana her
spring stay were carried away and her
bowsprit started A number Of sails
were torn 10 ribbons.
The CoQuelle has been a source OF
great anxiety since she left here Octo-
Der p and her owners were badly Wor-
ried about her when the steamer Whit
tier arrived here and reported having
spoken the schooner at sea and sup
piled her with provisions The Whit
tier reported the schooner somewhat
The worse for wear. Part Of her rig
sing had been carried away and she
had suffered generally IN the gales
which had interfered with her progress
toward the oregon port.
The next heard Of the COquelle she
was off BanGOn with her flag at half
mast Before she could make port she
disappeared in the smother Of another
sale and when. the weather cleared was
not in sight.
The conditions under which she van
ished gave added cause for anxiety and
hope fer the little wind5ammer was dy-
Ing when John HyslOp, the far-sighted
observer for the Merchants Exchange,
reported her off this port yesterday,
headed for home.

Chicago School Children Wrongly
Believe NeGreSS Is to Teach.

Chicago. Sept. S0.-Fiity boy pickets
stationed about the McAllister public
school here prevented pupils from en-.
teIing today None OF the pickets was
more than Is years old.
Outside the picket Gordon, crowd
OF 700 boys and girls hooted and yelled
at the teachers looking from windows.
Every infant striker wore badge to
show that he or she belonged TO a
"union." Some oi the badges we're
merely scraps Of paper with the word
"union" scrawled across it, Others
wore union buttons which their fathers
had worn. Many of the strikers car
ried clubs. They threatened violence
against any child daring to enter the
school yard.
The picketing was the result of q
"strike" which was caused by mis-
taken belief OF the children that an as.
sistant kindergarten teacher was Colored
After detail OF six policemen had
been sent to the school to preserve or
der, the "strike" was Settled" A
committee appointed by the youthful
strikers learned that the rumor Of g
colored teacher having been employed
in the school was false. About 80 pei
cent OF the strikers went back to theil
classes. Truant officers began search

MS Lire ENDS.
United States Senator Hosr pssses
From Earth.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. I.-George
Frlsbie HoaT, senior United States
senator from Massachusetts, died at
his home In this uity at 1885 o'clock
yesterday morning. The end followed
period OF unconsciousness that had
lasted since early Tuesday, and came
30 gently that only the attending ply
sIcIans were aware Of the exact moment
Of his ending.
The attending physicians despaired
Of the senator's life six weeks ago, but
such was the vitality exhibited by their
distinguished patient that sven they
we're surprised, and the public was at
times led 10 cherish faith In an ulti-
mate recovery.
On Sunday last, however, all hope
was abndoned after last unsuccessful
attempt to administer medicine and
nourishment. Brief lucid intervals
were followed by longer durations OF
unconsciousness until Tuesday morning,
when the venerable statesman sank into
a state Of coma, from which all efforts
to rouse him proved futile. During
the last hours there was moi move
ment Of the body. and only scarcely
perceptibIe pulse evidenced the final
struggle.
There were present at the bedside
when death came the senator's son,
lockwood Hoar, his daughter, Mary
Hoar, and d. Warren r. Gilman, who
for weeks has been in almost constant
attendance upon the sentoT.

TO SETTLE WATER SUIT.
Effort Is Being hsde to Annex Part
OF Kansas TO Colorado.

Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 3.-An effort at
solution Of the Kansas Colorado
water suit Is In pr gress, and II the
efforts Of those most interested in the
case are successful strip Of the western
portion Of Kansas, about $50 miles
wide, will be annexed to the state oi
Colorado, and the litigation now be.
fore the supreme court at Washington
will be thrown out.
Politicians in both Kansas and Colo.
rado are working for the passage OF q
bill through the legislatures Of both
states whereby the western portion oi
Kansas can be taken into Colorado.
This, it is thought by those who have
given the irrigation question much
study, will solve the difficulty, and both
states will be benefited to a great ex.
tent. L. P. Worden, of Syracuse
Kas., and @. G. Kennison, Of Garden
City, Kse., candidate for representa-.
tive from that county are in Pueblo in
the interest of the plan.
"It would settle the water question
in Western Kansas forever and the suit
now in the courts would be dropped al
there would no longer be any reason
for continuing 1t" said Mr.. Worden to
day.
Both Mr.. Worden and Mr.. Kennisor
appeared before the government com
mission when it was in session here
and are thoroughly familiar with th,
situation. They cay they are supported
by practically every resident OF West
ern Kansas.

Loss VIII Be Very Heavy.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 3.-A terrific
food struck the city OF Trinidad and
the whole valley along the Las Animas
river, today, devastating wide section
and causing . money loss which at
present cannot be estimated, but whic b
may reach several hundred thousands oil
dollars.
Every bridge In the city Of Trinidad
10 out, the Santa Fe station 10 demol.
ished, all OF the railroads are tied up,
and the telephone and telegraph services
completely suspended. More than 80
city blocks In the residence and bun-
ness sections we're two to four feet under
water along the Tvier
60 far as known at noon no lives
were lost, but there were many narrow
escapes.
The food was caused by the heavy
rain which has been falling for two
days. AT 8 o'clock last night the
storm assumed cloudburst proportions,
and at 2 O'Clock this morning the Las
Animas river went over it's banks.
At $3.50 1t was impossible TO get
within block OF the river bed at any
point, and Commercial street was food
ed for three blocks in the heart OF the
business district. Meantime the cleo
trio light and gas plants had been food
ed, and the city was in complete dark
ness.
Hundreds OF citizens thronged the
streets on the edge OF the submerged
district carrying lanterns and doing
their best TO provide those driven from
their homes with shelter.
Warning OF the food was given when
the river left its banks by revolver shots
and the ringing OF the fire alarm, fol.
lowed by the blowing OF all the loco
motive and shop whistles in town.
Citizens upon RATS made Of sections OF
sidewalks padded through the streets,
rescuing families who were In danger.
The new Bacca hotel, q two story
structure just reaching completion at
cost Of $4,000 on the river bank,
was estIoyed. The water then ate its
way through so feet of the ground to
the Santa Fe depot, which was carried
away.
The city lie divided by the Las
Animas river, which is spanned by six
wagon bridges. All Of the bridges
we're washed out and many residents
