President Benjamin Ide Wheeler was

stranger who left with him a sack of

strange gift, whom he would not To-

woods
The money was delivered in a worn
canvas bullion sack such as is COM
mon in the mining districts. The
stranger told DR.. Wheeler that it orig
inally had contained $3.50, but that he
had taken therefrom 81 to pay him for
his service, as agreed upon with the
sender of the gift.
Maybe you think I'm a crank, and
l don't blame YOU said the man to
the stranger. II am simply acting for

ed scientifically to attack the drink
question in Hungary. Count Andras-
sy, the Minister of the Interior, who
has long been studying the question,
has created a National Council for
dealing with the evil The work of
the council will be to discover the
best and most effectual means for ELI

Primarily there is to be a reform of
all the drinking shops. Budapest is
full of "palinka' shops where vile and
destructive spirits are sold to work.

The steamer Manuka arrived this
morning, bringing from Christmas ISL
and the shipwrecked passengers. OH.
GERS and crew of thirty-nve Cinnamon
from the steamer Aeon, and also her
mail, consisting of $50 bags.
The passengers are Chaplain b. r.
Patrick, U. S. n, his wife and chill
dren, Mrs. Riddle and Mrs. Yates, In
mes Battle Woods and Hellasco. The
rest of the shipwrecked party are Cap
tain Downie, First Mate Thomas, Sec
ond Mate Leck, Third Mate Lancaster,
Chief Engineer Merritt Second Engi-
neer Irving, Third Engineer Thorn
ton, Fourth Engineer HASTE and the
crew of thirty-fve Chinese.
The Manuka left here September 10
to the relief or the castaways on
Christmas Island, and found them all
we'll and delighted beyond measure at
aid coming so soon.
Mrs. Patrick, the wife of the chap
lain. had given birth to a daughter the
night previous to the arrival of the
Manuka.
The skllful manner in which the
Manuka was handled by Captain
Morosby and his officers as she lay
all night off a dangerous shore with
a strong current running and took on
board soc bags of mail without the
slightest mishap excited great admira-
tion among the passengers and led to
their meeting and passing a resolution
of commentator.
At Z in the morning the castaways
safely embarked in spite OF q jumping
sea, which made the bringing on board
of Mrs. Patrick especially a very diff
cult feat and the whole party was
brought away.
The Aeon lies on an even keel 200
yards from the beach but her recov-
cry is hopeless, as the bottom is
knocked out and she is full of water.
Given good weather, much of the car
go could be saved.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 26.-Ad-
vices reached officials of the Canadian
Australian line yesterday that a re-
ciprocal agreement had been entered
into between the United States and
New South Wales on the question of
passenger certificates for steamships.
The question has been under consid-
Grafton for four years and until this
agreement was signed it was necessary
for the Australian liners running out
of Vancouver to carry two sets of
equipment. The United Kingdom, Ca
NADIA and the United States have re-
ciprocal understanding whereby they
recognize each others certificates, but
no such thing was in force between
Australia and the United States.
As a result when the liners called
at Honolulu, which is American terri
tory and took on passengers they had
to carry two sets OF life belts and 9TH
er gear to comply with not only the
Australian demands but also those of
the United States.
The information that the agreement
had been arrived at was issued from
Washington by II. Uhler- supervising
inspector general, and in future New
South Wales VIII recognize American
certificates and the United States viii
recognize those of the southern cross
