On the 18th of September the tail end
of typhoon was encountered, lasting
two days, in which four horses were
killed. The vessel was driven out of
her course as far as the island of
Saipan, just north of Guam. On the
night of September 80, while the ves-
sci was about to enter the straits off
Cape Engano, North Luzon. she was
struck by real typhoon, which lasted
nearly three days and nights. The hor-
rors of that sixty hours We're frightful.
OF the 1863 animals 1856 were killed be-
fore the morning of October 2. For
four hou.s on Monday, October 2, the
vessel was helpless and the captain
gave up all hope of saving the vessel.
The matches were battened down and
many animals were smothered. The
decks were swept by terrific seas, taxi
ing everything loose overheard: the
cabins were flooded. All hands. includ-
ing the writer. clung to broken STAN
chions while the vessel heeled over
from side to side, taking water in the
boats as they hung at the davits. Every
boat was smashed. The deckhouses
went overheard. the galley was swept
clean, and everybody subgisted on hard
tack and jelly. Many men were badly
injured and the stencil from the dead
and mangled horses and mules was
frightful. The Austrian firemen mu-
tinted twice and the captain took the
ringleader and threatened to string him
up by the thumbs; the second mutiny
the captain pointed two revolvers at
the crowd and forced them down to
the stokehold. The chief engineer, an
Erglishman, lost his nerve and was
locked up in his cabin to prevent his
example telling on the crew and help
ers. The captain never left the bridge.
to which he was lashed. When the pu-
trid carcasses We're being heaved over
board the sea was alive with sharks.
The officers said afterward they had
never had such a horrible experience
in thirty years service at sea. Captain
Reiscich left the vessel at Manila,
where only two mules our vt the entire
cargo were landed safe. Captain VAL
entin brought the vessel back 20 IIe-
nolulu, where another live cargo was
taken on. Afterward Mate Xigga was
given command.

KING EDWARD GIVEN
BUT ANOTHER YEAR

Copies of curious publication named
THE Parchment" have been received
here in last mail. 1t is prophecy of
the millennium by Sne r. L. Kidd, with
Toronto, Canada, as the place of pub
lication. The paper Is quarterly and
consists of one solidly set article COW
ering four newspaper folio pages,
ccpiously interlarded with praise of
Kidd's own previous writings his flu
ture preaching intentions and scripture
quotations. The edition of the paper
is said to be million, and the crown
ed heads are mentioned among the
designated recipients of the brochure.
Prophet Kidd predicts the overthrow
oe the British Empire at the close of
King Edward Wis third years reign,
and implores the genial British sover-
eign to renounce his royal lineage be-
fore the fateful day and so prevent
something unpleasant from happening
to him. Time will be up for the merry
monarch in February OF next year.
Some kind of a universal empire
named after judah will follow the gen.
eral smash in which Edward tumbles
off his throne. but. though this new
administration OF the earth will be
better than the previous divided rules,
it will yet be considerable of a fake.
according to The gospel by Kidd.
Kidd announces his intention of
making preaching tour among all
nations. on which he will travel both
east and west and north and south.
Honolulu is apt to have him, like all
other globe-trotting eranks.

There is no vessel named Eram or
Evan In the Maritime Register, as the
two afternoon papers interpreted the
name of the contraband steamer in the
cable dispatch. The vessel is probably
the Austrian steamship Siam, which,

January II, was spoken of as follows:

AS the vessel had the greater part
of her journey to accomplish after leav-
ing Port Said and also hal to dodge
Japanese vessels, on account of carry
ing contraband cargo the steamer
took longer time .han usual to get
into the war zone where she was cap
tured. The Siam has 20 record for
speed. In fact, she is one of the tramp
lest of tramp steamers. with an ordi-
nary speed of nine knots and ten knots
at her best. Sine was formerly the
British ship Resolve and is now in the
employ of an Austrian company which
operates the Borneo, Java and others.
The Siam is well known in this port,
having arrived here from San Fran
cisco the latter part of August, 1S99 as
an army transport loaded with horses

home, near Noble. village east of
Cleveland.
William Avis, Sr.. was a large man
and addicted to drink and when un-

Yesterday afternoon he came home
drunk and seizing the woman, began
to beat her. The son demonstrated.

lad told nim that if he did not stop
he would shoot him. Suiting the action
to the word he secured the shotgun.

turned toward the boy, who fired,
killing him.
The neighbors justify the shooting
and it is not likely that the boy will
