Snakes on Steamship.

Officers of the Liverpool steamer In
drasamha reioiced when that vessel
reached her pier in New York yesterday
afternoon, for they had strenuous tiip
from Singapore, with passenger list
consisting mostly of snakes, monkeys,
Ieopards and bintrungs, the latter kind
of wildcat
The five pythons in the consignment,
three f them 25 feet long and each aver
aging 27opounds, broke loose from their
boxes while the ship was coming through
the Indian Ocean. The mate was en-
loving an after luncheon cigar in his
stateroom aud Captain Craven was in
the chartioom, when they were st'rtled
by series of sharp shrieks.
The mate rushed ON deck t. fiud the
crew of laborers trying to climb into the
rigging. CiDging to the main shroud
with its tail, lashing the air at furious
rate. was one of the largest pythons.
Another % feet of snake was pounding
the deck.
The mate ran for hatehet and Cap
tain Craven soughts gun. The Lascars,
with white faces. were bawliDg at the
top of their lungs. There is no saying
what might have happened had not the
captain and the seven officers managed
to get seven Chinese and two japanese,
who we're members of the crew, to aid
them in fighting the snakes. The China
men ha been in the theatrical business.
One of the Cinnamon secured a rope,
and after repeated attempts succeeding
in lassoing the python that was climbing
to the main rigging. 1t took tie Chi
nese, japanese and Englishmen four
hours to capture the other.
The orang -outang disappeared in the
Red Sea. They searched the ship for
him, and when it was decided that he
had fallen over the side and was lost one
of the sailors, il Is said, with = straight
face pointed to the patent log line that
was llatin, 10 the water in the wake OF
of the ship.
There was the oreng-outang cling'ng
to the log line, and he was hauled IN
more dead than alive. The orang-outsng
rang amuck after that and tried to stab
one of the Chinese cooks.

ced 10 thirty days in Jail for contempt OF

the union. was fined $50 aud sentenced
to thirty days in jail. The union itself
was fined 81 900. The charge sgainst
the union aud its members who were

eDioined from interfering in any manner
with The operation of the printing es-
Establishments operated by members Of
the Chicago Typothetae and from inter-
fering in any manner with the nonunlon
workmen employed in those establish
ments. Before The announcement OF the
decision counsel for the union asked
leave to file an affidavit signed by sixty
members Of the union, which states that
they are opposed to violence in any form
in connection with the strike. Attor-
neys for the typothetae objected to the
admission OF this, but il was allowed by
the court to 60 into the record. II has
been arranged by other officials OF the
union to institute habeas corpus proceed
ings as soon as the men are taken to lal'.

with money TO spend, Miss Alice Roose-
yeltwent TO New York yesterday after
noon to do her final shopping and to COM
plete her trousseau, utunlike those other
thousands she was not allowed to make
her entry quietly, and her visit OF sew
eral days will be something more than a
mere shopping trip.
Miss Roosevelt was entertained at dim
ner last night, and another dinner will
be given for her tonight, but between
entertainments the bride-to-be OF Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth will visit
millinery shops and other establishments
sought by women on occasions such as
this. One such call was made yesterday
afternoon on an establishment in Fifth
avenue, which makes specially OF hats,
and most OF today will be devoted to
equally pleasant expeditions.
Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Lougworth
went from Philadelphia in the Pullman
car Alice. On the deck of the ferryboat
Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth con-
sented to pose several times for photo
graphers.
Unnoticed by those in the streets, they
hurried in an electric cab to Sherry's as
fast as the traffic regulations would per-
nit.
At Sherry's note had been left for
Miss Roosevelt from Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt asking her to go the st. Regis.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was waiting for them
and they had luncheon as her guests.
Mr.. Longworth left them at $3.50 p. M,
and a few minutes later Miss Roosevelt
and Mrs Vanderbilt drove away in an
open cslriage. ~.
After shopping for two hours Miss
Roosevelt was driven to the home OF Mrs:
Robert Goelet on east Seventy-second
street. Mrs. Goele. will be her hostess
while she is in New York.
