RESCUED FROM DIRE PERIL
Passengers and Crew Of the Strand
ed Steamer Cherokee Taken on
By Life-Savers.

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 15.-After
spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew, 60
in all, of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York, which went aground on the
Brigantine shoals Friday, were res
cued late Sunday afternoon and landed
at the inlet here. Capt. Archibald, two
mates and the ships carpenter elected
to remain aboard the stranded steam
er. The rescue was accomplished by
Capt. Mark Caste and a picked crew
in the sloop yacht Alberta, and their
experience was almost as thrilling as
hat of the stranded passengers. More
than a thousand persons greeted the
storm-tossed party as the sloop sailed.
into the inlet with the report that all
hands were safe. Not in years have
the inhabitants of Brigantine and
Absecon beaches been so wrought up
for the safety of a stranded ships COM
pany, and never were so many at
tempts made or perilous chances
taken to reach a ship in the face Of a
fierce northwest Atlantic storm as
were ventured in the rescue Of the
Cherokee's party.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES..

The house committee on judiciary
has set February 10 as the date for a
hearing on the proposed constitutional
amendment providing for woman's
suffrage.
The senate passed a bill appropriating
$780, 900 for the marking OF the graves
Of confederate soldiers who died in
northern prison camps during the civil
war.
A tilt occurred in the senate between
Messrs. Bacon and Spooner over a reso-
tuition by the former inquiring into the
action of the president in appointing
delegates to the international confer
ence on Moroccan affairs. Mr.. Spooner
declared that the president was well
within his rights and that the adoption
'epf the resolution would be an affront

canal.
The expected plain sailing for the
Joint statehood measure, it seems, will

EDUCATION OF BRYAN.
His Trip to the Philippines Is Let
ting In the Light on the
Situation.

w. J. Bryan took q trip from Manila
through the adjacent counties and M
sundry towns was received with parades
and triumphal arches. At Malalos there
was a banquet in his honor, at which
the mayor-elect made a speech with In
dependence as Its text.
To the disappointment Of some Of his
hearers, says the Chicago Iuter Ocean,
Mr.. Bryan refused to follow the lead
thus given him. He is said to have de-
clined to criticise the American admin
istration, to have counseled obedience
to the existing government, and to have
spent most of his time in an exposition
Of Democratic and Republican princi-
pies as he understands them.
These statements pleasingly suggest
that Mr.. Bryan is really beginning to
learn something about the Philippines,
and is beginning to underwtand that
their problem, when seen at short
range, is by no means SO easy as he
thought 1t was from his station in Ne
braska. When he looks at Filipinos,
and at least tries to see what they are,
1t Is quite natural, and commendabla
that Mr.. Bryan should feel some increase
of responsibility for his utterances,
and should feel inclined to refrain from
trying to settle the Philippine question
out of hand, as he had been wont to do
at home.
II Mr.. Bryan's counsels Of obedience
and loyalty to the Filipinos are sincere
If they are not accompanied with those
innuendoes and i%nsinuations which
reveal to the hearer that the speaker
e what he says only in the Pick
wickian sense-it Ia possible that his
speechmaking In the islands will not
add to the harm of his mere presence,
and that hera and there a Filipino may
come to perceive that eve If Mr.. Bryan
were presi1 emit he would have to be for
his W country first, and therefore
could not really do anything to establish
for disconnected Filipinos their notion
that America is all wrong.
II Mr.. Bryan persists in his course
as now reported-if he gives his whole
heart to THE may repair something Of
the injury done to his own country by
his going to the islands at all.
That Mr.. Bryan should change his
cours altogether and look at the Phil.
ippine problem as a stalwart American
is too much to expect. Yet 1t is cheering
to observe that Mr.. Rryan's present
conduct is not wholly destitute of pro-
priety, and that in the Philippines he
really seems to be learning what are
some Of the things which an American
should not Jay or do.

roar of the guns of the Spanish a
ships Mohammid el Torres, the Moroo-
can minister of foreign affairs, who
will represent Morocco In the confer

of Moors and Spaniards, packed the
quays to witness the debarkatlon OF
the Moroccan statesman and his suite
from the Spanish cruiser Rio del

Gibraltar was another center of
