was a good strong breeze from the
south so that when the Alameda back
ed out from the wharf with the tug

to turn her about, the breeze carried
the vessel toward the Brewer wharf
The Intrepid therefore let go the line
from the stern, crossed the bows of
the Alameda, and took a line from her
bow, on the starboard side, or that
nearest the wharf Towing backwards
on this, the southerly breeze aided In
turning the Alameda about.
Among the departing passengers by
the Alameda were the remainder of

THE GARDENING OF THE ADA.


The island schooner Ada, which got

with better success. Yesterday men
were at work patching up a large hole
close to her keel aft and the greater

A DELAYED TOW.

The ship Falls of Clyde. in tow of
the tug Navigator, is now fourteen
days out from Gaviota. and the water
front is beginning to wonder what is
causing the delay. The Fairs of Clyde
went UP from here under sal list
month in thirteen days. So why she
should require more time to come down
under tow than it took to go up under
sail is attracting the attention of the
inquisitive. However, the steamship
Santa Rita from Port San Luis arriv-
ed at Kahului yesterday after a voy-
age of between twelve and thirteen
days, SO that it ought not to surprise
anyone that it takes a little longer for
a ship in tow to come down.

IN WAKE OF SEVERE STORM
Several Deaths and Many In
juries in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Several deaths,
many injuries and much suffering fol-
lowed In the wake of one of the worst
billiards. experienced in this section
in several years. Traffic on surface
and suburban lines is practically tied
up and downtown hotels are filed
with residents of outlying districts
who found themselves unable to reach
their homes. The storm, which broke
early in the day, ragged with increasing
fury until nightfall, subsiding some
what toward midnight.
One of the most tragic occurrences
in connection with the storm was the
wrecking in the harbor at Waukegan
of the fishing boat Anspach, in which
two men lost their lives and six 9th
ers had narrow escapes from death
The boat left the harbor to visit nets
set ten miles out In Lake Michigan
Caught in the storm on the return
trip, the vessel battled with the ele
ments until it regained the harbor,
only to be blown against projecting
wall and crushed Captain Oliver
Rubber, with Ave men composing the
crew, were thrown upon an ice-pack
-Four of the men succeeded in cling
ing to the ice and were rescued. Two
slid into the water and we're drowned
At Hammond, Ind, two men blinded
by the storm were run down by q
train and fatally injured. In the same
vicinity a woman overcome by ex
ffaustion. was found dying in the
snow.

WEAKENED BY FLOOD
Two Three-Story Brick EOuseS
Collapse at Piitsburg.
OCCUPANTS BARELY ESCAPE
Warned by Cracking Walls All but
One of the Score, Of Inmates
Get Out Safely.

Pittsburg, Feb. 17.--With a great
roar two brick dwelling houses at %
and "a Penn avenue, In the district
inundated by the flood waters. col
lapsed and fell into the street. A
score of occupants. warned by the
cracking walls, barely had time to
reach the street before tons of brick
and plaster tumblsd into the streets
U. C. Anderson was cut and bruised
by flying debris and eighteen other
persons narrowly escaped being
crushed to death. All but Anderson
rushed to the street In their night
clothes just moment before the
three-story brick building fell in a
heap. For some time great excite
ment prevailed, as 1t was reported
many persons had been buried under
the debris. Hurried calls for police
reserves, ambulances and firemen
were sent in and search of the ruiGs
begun. Andersons voice could be
heard calling for help and frantic Ell
forts were made to release him, il
was found the man was wedged be-
tween heavy timbers in the basement
and over him were tons of brick and
] plaster braced in such q manner,
! however, that he was entombed, but
not seriously injured. After several
hours work he was released and sent
to a hospital, where it was later
stated he would recover.
Cracking Walls Give Warning.
The escape of the other occupants
was miraculous. The loud cracking
of the walls few minutes before the
houses collapsed served as a warning
and saved all from being crushed.
| The passing flood was responsible for
/ the accident. The foundations of both
dwellings, which were old, had been
weakened by the high water, causing
them to collapse. Other buildings in
the vicinity are In like condition
and building inspectors are making a
thorough examination of the places.
Suffering among the flood victims Is
intense owing to cold weather and all
charitable organizations are engaged
In alleviating the misery.
Reports are being received showing
the damage to be widespread and
heavy. The flood is now slowly re-
ceding.
Scenes of activity are in evidence
everywhere in the flood district. AS
the water recedes hundreds of men
are put to work pumping water from
cellars and clearing the debris from
the streets.
On the North Side patrolmen in
skiffs are distributing coal and food
to imprisoned families. For this pur-
pose 1000 loaves of bread and 1000
pounds of bologna were secured.
In the manufacturing district gen.
eral cleaning up is insprogress. The
mills were not as seriously crippled
as in past floods and a majority of
them are in operation

ON CHARGE OF PERJURY.
Former Governor Voorhees, Of New
Jersey Arraigned.

New York, Feb. 17.-Foster M. Voor-
hees, former governor of New Jersey,
and Frank G. Combes of Philadelphia,
who were indicted by the grand jury
last week ON charges of perjury, sur
rendered to the district attorney.
They were arraigned before Justice
Bowling in the supreme court and
gave bail of $4,000 each. The indict.
ment on charges of perjury against
each of the men grew out of an an
nual report OF the Bankers Life In
surance company of this city in 1904.
AT that time Voorhees, was president
and Combes secretary of the COM
pany. This report, which they signed,
declared that $4,000 of the dividends
of the company were not due the
stockholders.

to which the sensational press is de-
voting its biggest headlines.
The situation is taken seriously not
only in military circles but also by
conservative politicians. M. Guchkoff,
leader of the majority in the duma, an
nounced his intention of raising at
the next meeting of the commission
of national defense the question Of
the nations readiness for war. This,
he believes is of the most vital inn
portance, in view of the news from
the Caucasus and all parts of Europe,
He also proposes to interpellate the
minister OF communications on the
ability of the railroads, particularly in
the Caucasus and transcaucasia to
transport troops quickly to the south
ern and southwestern frontiers.
The duma, according to M. Ouch
koff, will be guilty of criminal negli-
gence if it permits the country again
to be drawn into war for which il is
wholly unprepared. The surest means
to avoid a rupture, he said, is serious
preparation for any eventuality.
M. Khvostchinsky, the vice presi-
dent of the commission, also thinks
that the situation is grave and takes
Issue sharply with number of gen.
erals who appeared before the COM

of hostilities this year was excluded.
