stranded Steamers.

London, March l8.-The condition OF
the White Star Liner Suevic, which
went ashore on the rocks near the Liza d
last night, was critical today. Three
life boats are now busy taking off the
passengers and crew numbering $50
souls, and tits believed all will be rescued.
The salvage of the steamer depends en-
tirely on the weather. Just at present,
the chances seem sgainst the vessel, as
the weather is bad. Efforts will be
made today to pull the steamer off the
rocks. A heavy fog prevailed last night
when the steamer grounded. The SueVic
was just completing n voyage irom
Sydney TO London.
Later in the day the weather began
TO clear and the waves to moderate. The
Suevic was leaking badly, however. The
greatest number Of the passengers were
taken off during the morning.
All the passengers of the Suevic have
been landed in safety but a heavy sea is
still running and the position of the ship
is regarded as extremely dangerous.
Though the atm )sphere has cleared, the
gale is still blowing 6ercely.

one or two tugs srmed tor the occasion.
So far as known here the defenees Of
Truxillo are insignificant so II is quite
possible that the guns of the Nicsraguan
ship may have done considerable dam

President Roosevelt today approved
the sen!enceo of dismissal in the case Of

MONDAY EVENING, MARCH IS, 1867

More trouble with coiored troops is
NEGLECTED as result Of an order issued
Saturday by Secretary Taft detailing 10
men of the Ninth Cavalry, colored, for
duty at the West Point Military Acad-
envy. These colored troops will relieve
the detachment Of white cavalry which
has been stationed at West Point in the
past. and for the first time in the his.o-
ry Of the military academy the young
cadets will have their horses and accou-
tremenls cared for by colored troops ard
will take turns commanding those troops.
According TO The statement made by the
War Department the reason cOlored
troops have been sent to the military
academy to replace the white cavalry
men there is that the latter objected TO
taking care of the horses used by the
cadets 80 well es their own mounts. The
War Department believes the colored
cayalrymen will 10, object to this extra
service. but it will soon find out to the
contrary. The rest Of the Ninth Cavalry
has been ordercd to duty in the Philip
pine islands, as has the Tenth Cavalry,
also colored, and the Tweuiy-lourth aud
T@eniy.Gfh Infantry, the other two
colored regiments.

The controversy following President
Roosevelt's discharge of negro soldiers
because Of their murderous midnight
raid upon the people OF Brownsville, on
August l3, may possibly be settled By
the sworn confession Of D. @. Gray, a

is in Galveston, This confirms the re-

ton, which Seustor Foraker has been
fighting. In his statement Gray admits
that the soldiers started the row.

 A friend who went to call upon him in small watering place, found the composer in little room which he informed his visitor served him for dining-room. sitting-room and bed room.
 T have two other rooms, which are large" he said to his friend "but I keep articles hired by me in them. I have there 95 barrel organs"
 He paused to note his friends sur. prise, and then continued:
 "When I came here my ears were tortured by hearing them play Troy atore, 'Rigoletto, and similar stuff. I hired them from their owners. pay about 1,500 lire for them, and enjoy my summers rest undisturbed by the sound of my own compositions. - Youths Companion.

sELLRIRD BROUGHT TO LONDON
Rare Specimen That Has Been Sc
 cured for the Zoo.

A specimen of the naked-throated bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudicollis) has just been received at the Zoolog- ical gardens, London. The most re- markable thing in connection with the bellbird is its powerful voice; it ut ters clear, metallic note which can be heard at distance of three miles. Its noise is like that produced by a blacksmith striking his anvil. Some times it repeats its notes in quick succession, sometimes at fairly long intervals. There is no mistake about the voice of this bird; it is loud and piercing, and would be heard above the din produced by every inmate of the ZOO raising it's voice at once. Ex- cept for space of naked skin on the throat and around the eyes, which, during the breeding season, is of a green color, this bird is pure white. The contrast between the sexes in the bellbirds, of which two species have been exhibited in the menagerie, is extreme. For while the male is pure white, the female is brownish green. Darwin refers to the bellbird when he points out that white is very rare color in terrestrial species of mod. crate size and inoffensive habits"

Much Tact Necessary When Titles

The bestowal of knighthoods in the arts in England is notoriously a diff cult process, straining even the tact of King Edward. Every player who does more than walk on" the stage, believes in his heart that he should be so honored, and the very accom- panists at concerts hardly think them selves quite out of the running This time the king had seemingly taken ref uge in age and approaching or actual retirement. John Hare has passed 60. He Is now making farewell tour, preparatory to retirement, and his po- sition as one of the hghtest, dryest and most adroit comedians of the Eng lish-speaking stage would be a tradi- ton were he not still living evidence, 90 to say, of his own skill. The other new knight of the arts. MT. Santley, the barytone singer. has been so long in retirement that he seems to belong rather to the generation of the six ties and the seventies than to our own, though he visited America as recently as 1890.

Advertising Scheme Stopped.

A novel advertising scheme has been tried in London, England. A we'll dressed young man was standing on the curb at the corner of Aldwych when suddenly letters. apparently of fire. made their appearance across the back of his overcoat, and as quickly vanished. Passersby rubbed their eyes and stared in astonishment as the H. lumination again came and went at ir- regular intervals. It was a new de- velopment of modern advertising, the light being switched on from an cleo tric battery carried in the pocket. The inevitable crowd gathered, with the inevitable rssult--a policeman shoul- dered his way to the front, and the agent of an enterprising advertiser had to move on.
