Senator Tillman's appearance on the
speakers platform.
Senator Tillman gave his address by
40 detectives under the command of
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler.
In the audience were many colored
people but they listened to Senator
Tillman's remarks good naturedly and
although he was interrupted many
times by those who wished to ask
questions. no trouble developed.
In leading up to his address "Shall

Tillman critized Mayor Dunno 8 action

II have been told that I have been
snubbed by the mayor of this city,
sail the senator II have never saw
Mayor Dunno in my life, I did not
ask him to be here tonight to intro
duce me to this audience, nor did I
ask anyone else to do so. If anyone
has been snubbed it is these gracious
ladies, who planned this meeting to
secure money for the Chicago Union
hospitsl, who requested Mayor Dunno,
the creature of the political hour, to
come forward and add his mite.
II have been advertised to discuss
the annexation of Cuba,," continued
Tillman. "But in view of the fact
that could not discuss that subject
wihout discussing the race question. 1
am going at the matter with hammer
and tongs, straight forward, like a
man. Therefore I shall discuss the
race problem pure and simple from the
American standpoint and not from the
Cuban standpoint. Owing to my ex

man in America to discuss it. am

GROUNDING SEES
NO SHADOW
Nothing but Fog Greets His Vision
When He Appears Above
Ground.
WON'T PROMISE FAIR DAYS
WEATHER MAN GIVES OUT AN
oRAcULAR PREDICTION.

A sleepy, furry little animal poked his
head above the ground yesterday. He
crept outside and struck a peculiar
pose. Then he shook his head wisely
and scampered across the fields toward
a grain barn looming up in the dis
lance.
This little animal was Mr.: Groundhog
performing the annual ceremony OF
seeing his shadow He does this
every year for those who retain a re-
spect for tradition. The ceremony
needs no explaining. Tradition says
fair weather will begin at once when
the grounding cannot see his shadow
II clouds obscure the sun making it i'm
possible to see shadows, the groundhoe
remains above ground and that beauti-
full thing of which the poets sing, called
spring, has arrived!
A dense fog filling Salt Lake valley
made 1t impossible to see a shadow.
That's why the grounding shook his
head wisely. That's why he remained
above ground. He was hungry after
his winters fast. That's why he hur-
ried 20 the grain barn. He had per-
formed the traditional ceremony. He
learned that spring was here. His an
nual mission had been fulfilled.
To each and every one Mr.. Ground
I
He could not see his shadow. Spring
Will soon be here. There are many who
viii tuck oVercoats away with care
and moth balls and rescue f1insy gar
ments in the expectation of springs
arrival. There are others who will
keep oVercoats on handy peg until
the twittering of birds in the trees, the
sprouting Of tiny green blades and un-
folding of blossoms announce decisively
that spring has come.
There are others-and their number is
legion-who will continue to wonder
when this fog is going to disappear. In
formation is not forthcoming at the
weather bureau.
THE fog may lift in a night, it may
continue to fill the valley for several
days." says the weather man.
Predictions issued for last night and
today promised more fog and a moder-
alton in the weather.

The seas kept getting worse. When we
got to Bamfield Captain Christian of the
Gar thought no one was aboard the
wreck but Mate Campbell was of a diff
ferent opinion. He did not believe, how
ever, that it was possible to do anything
until the sea moderated. We all agreed
that if the whaling steamer Ryan with
her harpoon gun was there she might be
able to shoot line on board, and I ac-
cordingly wired for her to come at once
She did so, and was at the scene of the
wreck next day. After ordering the Ryan
out we went on shore at Bamfield and
there learned that Lineman Logan had re-
ported the wreck had gone to pieces and
all on board had been lost. It blew hard

s'Early in the night we met the Queen
coming back. The captain concluded then
that we had better put back into the
straits and wait till morning and we did
so. The Queen said the wreck was at
Sea Bird island, and in the morning we
put out for that point When we reached
the wreck we saw the Queen run in to-
ward the beach and back again. When
we got there we made out the wreck be-
tween squalls. We could see no signs Of
life aboard and the seas were breaking
clear over her. I could make out the fun
house. We could see no signs of life ON

Case Was Hopeless.

Captain J. w. Troup of the Esduimalt q
Nanairno railway, who was on board the
that vessel hurried away from Victoria
for the scene Of the wreck, said that to
the best of his knowledge there was no
life on board the wreck when he reached
the scene, and that they all agreed that
it was a hopeless case at best owing to
the high wind that prevailed and the ter
rible heavy seas. Said Captain Troup:
No one gave me any Instructions but
as soon as ] heard of the wreck I ordered
the tug Gar to get up steam and sail
for the scene Of the disaster Later / was
called up on the telephone and asked to
go on the Salvor in an advisory capacity,
and I did so.

Obeyed His Orders.

He then told me to get to Victoria,
pick up my passengers and proceed to
San Francisco, reporting to the Topeka
on the way back. l complied with the
ed to me that she had picked up the raft
with eighteen survivors. Captain Pat
tersou then said my orders were to pro-
coed to San Francisco, which I did"
Captain Cousins then testified. that he
went in until he struck water of about
eighteen fatnOms He judged he was
about a mile or a mile and half off
shore. He says the Gar go1 to within

He testified that after comforting with
tie other captains and pilots on his yes
sci it was considered too risky to at
tempt to launch boat. Captain Cousins
says a boat might have gotten inside of
the breakers, but t would never have
gotten out. He stated that the surf was
breaking fully twenty-one feet high.

A Hor.e.s Hand. and Feet.

The horse never puts his heel on the
ground, nor even the ball of his foot.
He stands up on the very tips Of his
toes, and this is, in part, the reason
why he can trot so fast. DObbin's heels
are half way up his hind legs, and what
we call his knees are really his wrists.
The part corresponding to the upper
arm is short and is so embedded In the
muscles of the shoulder that the elbow
comes next the body, but the horse has
only one digit to each limb, and the
wrist bones are comparatively small.
The so called ankle, then, is the
knuckle, where the digit joins the hand
or the foot, and the foot Is only
single thick finger or toe, with a great
nail for hoof. The lower half of the
horses foreleg is really a gigantic
hand, with only the middle finger and
a piece out of the middle Of the palm,
while the corresponding part of his
hind leg is a big, single toed foot.-St.
Nicholas.
