To vindicate Her Name.

London, England-The Daily Chron
lcle states that Princess Radziwill has
decided to bring action against the
executors Of the estate OF Cecil
Rhodes, with the object of vindicating
her character from accusations in con.
nection with her personal relations
with Mr.. Rhodes.
Princess Catherine Radziwill was
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
by the supreme court of Cape Colony,
April 80, 1902, for forgery in connec-
tion with notes purportlng to have
been indorsed by Mr.. Rhodes. She
was liberated from prison in August.
1903.
The princess Is the daughter of the
Austrian count, Dymski, formerly one
of the great landed proprietors of Cali
cia. She eloped with PRINCE Radzi
will on the eve of the day set for heI
marriage to wealthy manufacturer.
About four years ago she appeared in
London, where she lived in luxurious
styIe.
Subsequently she moved to South
Africa, where she attempted to float
evidence of credit purporting to have
been signed by Cecil Rhodes, but
which were repudiated by him. Sew
eral suits tried at Cape Town finally
eliminated in her conviction.
1t was alleged by the London papers
that Mr.. Rhodes death was due TO the
worry which she caused him, and tc
the fact that he was obliged to return
to South Africa in the hottest weather
to prosecute the case against her.

of a state shall not be arbitrated.
There are many million dollars OF

IN unknown steamer lies helpless on

low and then carry a message to the
ife-saving corps on shore that there
are human lives aboard the wrecked
raft that cannot be saved until the
Wind and seas have calmed sufficiently
o allow the surfboats to he launched.
The observer of the u. S. weather bu-
eau at Hatteras first saw the steamer
when the fog lifted shortly before noon.
At that time she appeared to be in dis
.ress and later it was seen that she
iad grounded on the inner shoal,
tnown to mariners as "Helrs Hole"
the graveyard Of shipping
Heavy seas careened the vessel on
GER beams and at o'clock Wednes-
lay afternoon she was lying on her
,ort side, with seas washing all over
her. The smoke that her funnel emit
ed early in the day was no longer dis.
.ernible, and it was then supposed
hat her fires had been eXtinguished
,y water filling the hull.
The steamer has three masts and
,ne funnel. Her engines and boilers
ire aft, and the funnel is between
he mainmast and mizzenmast. From
Ter description, it Is thought she may
,e one Of the fruit liners that ply be-
ween West Indian ports and Boston,
Baltimore and New York.
The description Of the vessel also fits
| number of oil tank and lumber-carry-
.ng steamers trading into New York
rom Texas and the southern Atlantic
,tates. Several of these vessels bound
oorth were probably in the vicinity OF
cape Hatteras
At 8 o'clock the observer at Hatteras
reported that the life-saving crews OF
Sc eral stations along the Carolina
coast in the vicinity of Hatteras were
IN the beach ready to launch their surf
boats the minute tfte wind and tide
Abated sufficiently to allow them to
DO SO.
At that time the wind had dropped
from 40 to SO miles an hour, but the
mercury was falling steadily, and the
approach of freezing weather bodies Ill
for the crew imprisoned upon the
steamer.
The report states that at sunset the
sessel had apparently righted herself
somewhat, and that If the wind and
sea did not increase there was good
chance of her remaining intact until
morning. If this is the case the pros
oects are bright for the life-savers be-
ing able to reach her.
From the size Of the steamer 1t Is
estimated that she carries compile
nent of 25 men, but it has been impos-
able to secure view that would allow
any surmise as to her identity being
made. There may be passengers
aboard.
Word from the scene expresses lit
lie hope that loss of life can be averted
For several hours while on her port
beam, the steamer was at times COM
oletely covered by the seas that con-
stantly broke over her.
The life-savers were perplexed by
the lights they saw on the craft. Those
tights appeared to those on shore as
torchlights and not signals OF any
regular character.

In the meantime the chief Japanese

They have an unusually full equip

one OF which connects Gen. Kuroki's
base at Shahedzi with Fengwangcheng
with a branch at Saimatza.
A supplementary line is being con-
structed connecting Liaoyang with Ha.

warehouses along the Yalu river, and
many bridges have recently been con.
structed with u care unusual in field
