Miss Sadie Nicholson Of South Caro-

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 25.-Miss Sadie
Nicholson of Edgefield, S. c., who is
visiting Mrs. Wayne Darlington Of 725
Ocean avenue, this city, has proved the
old adage that cat has nine lives.
About two weeks ago, while packing
her trunk in Edgefield, preparatory to
her journey to California, a pet kitten
suddenly disappeared. The household
turned out to hunt for the pet, but
without success. Miss Nicholson fin
ished her packing, closed, locked and
strapped the trunk and had it checked
through to Long Beach. She came by
way of Cincinnati, Chicago and Denver,
and was delayed at several points,
especially by a washout near Denver.
When she arrived here she unpacked
her trunk for the first time and in the
bottom of the trunk found the kitten,
much emaciated, but still alive and
able to frisk about. She had jumped
into the trunk at Edgefeld. hidden
among Miss Nicholson's dresses, and
made the trip across the continent.
A little nourishment put the Kitten in
good spirits, and she is now the pet and
pride Of the Darlington home.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, Aug. 25.-The
peace conference tonight seems headed
straight for the rocks. Despite the fact
that every question of principle in
volved in the quarrel between the two
countries has been settled in favor OF
the victor, and that apparently only
the negotiations seem on the verge Of a
final rupture. The air was filled to-
night with gloomy forebodings, as
superficially everything indicates that
tomorrow's session Of the conference
will prove the seance d'adieu.
In the most positive fashion it is de-
clared that no Instructions had reached
M. Witte up to this evening which
would permit him to entertain the COM
promise proposals submitted by Baron
Komura, and therefore, unless Japan
has a new proposal to make, all that
seems to remain for the envoys to do
tomorrow is to meet, sign declaration
that the conference has completed its
labors, shake hands and part.
But there are still unknown factors
in the situation which might change
the situation. The result of President
Roosevelt's second appeal direct to the
czar has not transpired, and the re-
suit of the pressure on Japan to alter
the form Of her proposal by the elm
ination of the purchase price of the
northern half of Sakhalin is not known.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A strange

Carl Fisher Hansen, the lawyer, said
today that he would at once appeal for
the pardon of the prisoner, whose
name he would not reveal at
the request of the woman whose
reputation the prisoner had saved
at the expense of his own lib
erty. The woman, Mr.. Fisher-Hansen
says, had visited his Office within a
few days, said that her husband had
just died and that she now wanted to
do justice to the prisoner. They had
been friends and, more than year
ago, when her husband returned un-
expectedly he caught the other run
ming away. To save her from scandal
the man confessed that he had broken
into her home to steal, whereupon he
was arrested and is now in Sing Sing.
z The prisoner was young college
student who disappeared from one OF
the colleges when he was arrested. 'I
will not say whether it was Harvard,
Yale or Princeton" said the lawyer.
mo one has ever known what became

BY Associated Press.

DENVER, Aug. 25.-The cloudburst
that flooded Road and Stock canyons
near Trinidad last evening was not so
damaging to- the property of the Col
orado Fuel and Iron company and the
Colorado Southern as at first reported,
according to a statement given out to-
night in this city.
The greatest loss to the fue, COM
pany will come from the shutdown of
its mines and other property conse-
quent upon the death of some of its
employees and the temporary stoppage
of railroad traffic. Shipments of coal
to the coke ovens will necessarily be
held up, although the fuel company
officials are confident that they will
have their own lines in shape soon and
the Colorado Southern people have
named Sunday as the time when they
expect to renew operations on the
branch line from Berwin and Tobasco
to Ludlow, the seat of the large cox
ing industry of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company
The following is the list Of dead and
missing as officially reported to the
fuel company here:

JOSEPH MOZZASCO,
RAFAEL BUCCHO,
ANTONIO CONSTANTINE.
PHILIP PASTERE,
PASQUALE BOTTALMO,
JAMES AMOTHERMAN,

The report does not separate the
dead from the missing in the list.
The representatives of the fuel COM
pany at the scene of the disaster have
been instructed to provide for the fam
lilies of the employees who were
drowned and, as fast as the bodies are
recovered they are taken to Trinidad
for burial.
Because of the interruption to wire
communication with Trinidad and the
coal camps in the vicinity and the
heavy crush of business following the
re-establishment of the limited service
at present provided, details of the scope
of the storm have been coming to Trim

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 25.-President
Roosevelt late this afternoon made a
descent in Long Island sound on board
the submarine torpedo boat Plunger
He was aboard the vessel about three
hours. At one time the little boat was
submerged for fifty minutes, and in
that time was put through all of the
submarine feats of which she is capable
The president expressed tonight his de-
light at the novel experience and said
he was immensely impressed with the
boat and with the manner in which she
was handled. In thus Drawing the dan
gers of submarine maneuvering the
president has endeared himself to naval
officers and men the world over.
The presidents intention not only to
make personal inspection of the tiny
vessel, likely to prove so deadly in
naval warfare, but to make a sub
marine descent in it, was reached after
a conference with Lieutenant Nelson.
The Plunger's commander explained
to President Roosevelt the operations
of the boat and assured him that trip
on her and a descent into the depths
of Long island sound would be as
devoid of danger as would be a trip
on New York subway express train.
The president long has desired to
watch the operations of submarine to

been deferred from taking the risk by
the advice of his friends and official
associates. Convinced by the logic Of
a trip on the Plunger and to have the
little vessel perform all her wonderful
feats while he was on board.
The special trial of the boat, with
the president on board. took place be-
tween s and 6 o'clock this afternoon in
Long Island sound, just off the en-
trance to oyster bay.
Plunger Behaves Well
Just as soon as the president had de-
scended into the boat the manhoes
were closed and conveyed by the naval
tender Apache the Plunger started
for the sound. No maneuvers were at
tempted until the vessel was well be-
yond the entrance to the bay. A stiff
northeast breeze which had been blow
ing since last night kicked up heavy
sea in the sound, but the Plunger be-
haved beautifully. The water where
the trial took place is about forty feet
deep, too shallow in the opinion Of
Lieutenant Nelson and his experts to
enable the vessel to do her best work.
Soon after the vessel reached the nee
essary depth Of water she was directed
downward until she rested on the bot
tom of the sound. Then the mechan-
ism OF the craft was explained minute
