THREE NIGHTS ON COLD SEAS.
Survivors of Monarch Go Hand Ovel
Hand On Rope to Shore.

FORT WILLIAM, Ont, Dec. 10
After spending three days and
nights on a rock in the middle of Lake
Superior without food and without any
shelter from the zero weather, forty
one persons, the survivors Of
the steamer Monarch, reached Port Ar
thur last night on the tug Whalen. One
man, James Jacques, of Point Edward,
Waterman, was drowned. Many of
the survivors, are more or less frozen
about the hands and feet, but none of
them is in a dangerous condition.
The compass was frozen and a
heavy sea was running with the night
very dark and the Monarch struck the
reef bow on. One hour later the stern
was completely under water.
Charles H. Elton, a deck hand, was
lowered on a line to the rock. He
made the vessel fast to a tree, and
the crew came ashore on the life line
hand overland. The passengers fol-
lowed the crew.
On the rock no shelter could be found

WANTS NOT HUSBANDS name
Anna Strunsky Who Married Million
aire Prefers Her Own Little
Cognomen.

CHICAGO, Dec. llama Strunsky
the young Russian literary woman
and sociologist, who recently was
married to William English Walling.
Chicago millionaire, has surprised
her husbands friends by announcing
that she wishes to be known by her
maiden name and not as Mrs. Wall
ing.
Mrs. Walling says she abhors the
idea of bondage and barrier" con-
veyed in the appellation of Mrs. "
and as far as possible, until Ameri-
can conventional customs are radi-
cally changed, she will be Anna
Strunsky in public and private life.
Husband Does Not Object.
Walling, who comedies with his
wifes views Of the matrimonial rela-
ton, wooed and won Anna Strunsky
in Russia, where he spent many
months in sociological study and re-
search work. A few days ago they
arrived in Chicago to visit his father.

sent to their friends that Mrs. Wall
ing preferred to be known as Anna
Strunsky.
Though some Of the Chicago socie-
ty people were shocked at first when
they heard Anna Strunsky explain it,
they understood and were delighted to
yield to the wish of the remarkable
bride and her sympathetic husband.
Il do not believe a woman should
merge her personality with that of
her husband" said Mrs. WalEng. at
the home of her father-in-law. Il am
surprised that my idea should attract
so much attention. 1 certainly propose
to be known as Anna Strunsky all
my life. In conventional American
society I suppose 1 must be known
as Mrs. William English Walling Of
course l will not object when intro
duced to strangers.

TERMINAL QUARREL NAY END
Seattle Property Owners Work in
Harmony with Hartman Inter-
ests to Get Road Through.

SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-Terminal Ques-
tions affecting the Hill and Hartman
interests may be adjusted by the end
Of the present year. Strong efforts are
being made by the railroads to close
up all pending negotiations and to get
solution Of the terminal fight before
the city council early in January. If
this is done it will only be a matter
Of few months before the Hartman
system begins construction work on it's
line to Puget Sound.
The property owners and the Hill
and Hartman representatives are
working in harmony upon the plan for
the construction of running and
switching tracks on Fifth avenue
South, and majority of the property
that will have to be acquired for right
of way purposes is already pledged.
Property owners representatives be-
lieve they can secure IS per cent Of
the property needed by the two roads.
The remainder will be gathered in by
the railroads themselves and it is in
sisted by all the interests that the
right of way fight can now be settled
without going into court.
A series of conferences have been
held between the attorneys represent
ing the Hill and Hartman lines and
the property owners. The plan for the
utilization of Fifth avenue mas been
worked out by the two railroads and
the property owners and practically
the only thing left is an agreement on
details.
It is asserted by representatives of
both railroads that the right Of way
troubles between the property owners
and the Hartman system will have to
be worked out before the Hill and
Hartman interests can complete their
agreement.
Conferences between j. D. Farrell
and L. c. Gilman have resulted in a
tacit understanding on most Of the
questions affecting railroad operation.
Both officials believe that their nego-
tiations can be closed up promptly
when the right of way is secured. Both
lines are anxious to get the terminal
fight out of the way by the end of the
year, and it was declared today that
there was every probability of success.
