White is a man of strong temper

not restraint. Even at its best, the
political and social framework of
Russian society gives but little scope
for the healthy human energies, all
the greater, therefore, is the need Of
bracing sympathy and stimulus.
witte is gifted with degree of In

foresaw the war with Japan years
before 1t broke out, and most OF the
salient events of the past twelve
months he predicted several years
ago. A man Of that caliber who sees

out when others are tongue-tied. and
works when they are idle, must of
necessity have many and unscrupu-

White is generally unduly praised or
immediately blamed. and most of
the literary portraits of him are little

TWENTY LOST AS

TWO SURVIVORS REACH FLoRI-

OF THE PEcoNIc.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 30.-
Through the surf, which was run.
ming extremely high. two sailors land
ed in lifeboat on Amelia Beach, in
front of Fernandina. They said they
were from the steamer Peconic, which
they reported, was lost during gale
last. night of Cumberland Island.
with. a crew of twenty men.
The men are Antoni Clark and Hu
carlo Britiania. They were exhaust
ed, and could tell very little for an
hour or more. According to their
story, the Peconic, a fruit carrier,
sailed from Philadelphia on August
20, for New Orleans. with cargo OF
coal. Through some trouble in her
boilers, she was delayed for couple
of days at the Delaware breakwater,
and then steamed slowly south.
A stiff wind from the northeast
sprang up at noon yesterday and in.
creased in force until at midnight 1t
was blowing gale from the north,
northeast. Soundings were taken,
and 1t was found that the vessel wa
in from ten to fifteen fathoms of
water. Captain Jones gave orders
to head out to sea, and the man at the
wheel brought the vessel sharply
around, directly In the trough Of the
sea.
An immense wave struck the Pc.
comic, knocking her on her beam ends.
The cargo of coal shifted, and she
could not recover. The water began
rushing into the ports and compan
lon ways and in ten minutes she sank,
and of the twenty-five men on board
only two were afoat. Captain Jones
and the others went down with the
vessel.
Antonio Clark says he and Brit.
tains were in the after part of the
steamer when they realized that she
was about to sink. They cut away
the canvas cover Of the lifeboat and
had Just entered the boat after swing.
ing 1t over the stern when the steam.
or began to go down. They. cut the
supporting ropes and struck the
water with terrific Jar but the boat
did not turn over. 1t was carried
away from the sinking vessel by the
waves and in a moment the Peconic
was lost to sight.
Clarks says that the wind and high
seas prevented them from standing
by to rescue any, of their shipmates
They could do nothing but run be
fore the gale. They sighted land
soon after daylight and succeeded In
landing through the surf.
Clark does not know Captain Jones
first name and he cannot give the
names Of any Of the crew. The mate
was named James. The crew con
sisted Of FIVE Spanish sailors. one
F'renchman and several Italians.
The vessel had been engaged In
the fruit trade from Central America
to New Orleans. but on account Of
the quarantine regulations she hal
been engaged for two voyages to car
ry coal from Philadelphia to New Or
leans. She had on board about 1,5ot
tons of coal.
The men have been taken in charge
by citizens, and provided with the ne
cessities of life. They will apply L
the consuls Of their respective coun
tries for assistance.
