WILLARD ALMOST BEAcHED.

PORTLAND (Ore.), October 1S.-
While off the mouth of the river last
week waiting for a tugboat to come out
and take her TO Astoria. the American
ship Henry Willard, which reached the
harbor yesterday afternoon. came near
drifting shore and being wrecked. A
strong breeze which had been stirring
suddenly died down to a calm and the
swells of the sea carried the ship to-
ward the beach.
She was being borne along at rapid
rate Captain Shaube ordered the an
chors placed in readiness for dropping
as soon as the vessel reached shoal
water where they would hold. But be-
fore matters came to climax the wind
again began to blow and the sails. tack
ed so that the craft was carried out to
sea and away from all danger.
The Henry Willard came from Homo
lulu in ballast and made an excellent
run. covering the distance in 16 days.
She was obliged to wait off the mouth
OF the river three days, however, for "a
tugboat to escort her across the bar.
AS the Columbia river lightship had
been blown in on the beach and was
not at her station, the skipper says 1t
was difficult to keep his bearings. He
did not learn of the accident to the
ightship until he arrived at Astoria.

CAPTAIN CASEY BLAMELEss

Captain Casey, who was In command
of the steamer Stanley Dollar when
that vessel went ashore on the Japa-
nese coast on September last, has
arrived in the city overland from Pu-
get Sound. His engineers and mates
arrived on the steamer Queen yester-
day from the Sound. According to the
finding of the naval court investigat-
ing the stranding of the Stanley Dol
lar IL was found that she struck an
isolated and sunken rock two and one
half miles east-southeast from Hachi-
man, and, having been seriously dam
aged, was floated as soon as possible
and taken to Kawadzu village, where
she was finally abandoned by the crew
on September IS. The evidence at the
court Of inquiry did not fix the position
of the rock with absolute precision, but
il is clearly not marked on the recent
Japanese charts, and the United States
charts corrected to June 2, 1898. do not
indicate danger in that neighborhood.
Other charts give no sign of this isolat-
ed rock. 1t appears from the evidence
that Captain Casey was entirely fault
less in striking this uncharted rock

NEW YORK, Sept 16.--vacations
spent in small farm houses, poorly ven

several leading physicians of this city
to threaten an epidemic of typhoid fe-

clare that stringent measures will be
necessary to prevent great amount OF
sickness from these causes among per-
sons who spent their vacations in the
country, supposedly enjoying change
of air and fresher food than they get in
the city.
I'm the matter of typhoid" said one
of the citys best known practitioners
last night, 'it is agreed that sanitary
administration has not kept pact with
scientific progress. One reason for this
is that the laws are defective. The
health authorities have not the neces-
sary power to enforce regulations and
the people as a rule are not educated

statutes

ANY physician will tell you that
contaminated water is the chief cause
of the disease and that in country
districts the sunken we'll and the old
fashioned cesspool in close proximity
to the living quarters produce the
cause.
