Latest Shipping News of Honolulu
And Other Water Fronts

SEATTLE, Wash, February 1S.-A
dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer from
Neah bay, says.
The crew of the little siX-ton sloop
Tecllla, lying at anchor here, were
startled last night by a feeble hail
from a steel lifeboat drawing up slow
ly in the light breeze. In the boat
were the forms of four men, there
living and one dead, survivors Of the
American ship Emily Reed wrecked Off
the mouth of Yehalem river on the
coast of Oregon, 200 miles from Neah
bay. The men in the boat were:
First Mate Fred lube.
Seaman Ewald Abildsted.
Seaman Arthur Jahunke.
The dead man was the ships cook.
The three living survivors were in a
pitiful condition. Their tongues were
swollen from thirst so that at first they
could scarcely articulate. They had
had no food since last Sunday night
nor any water since they left the
wrecked vessel Friday morning,
Mr.. lube said: Almost the instant
the Reed struck the beach she began
to break up. In a twinkling one Of the
lifeboats was smashed by a big wave
and the decks were so deep in the boil
ing water that there was no chance to
get aft where Captain Kersel and his
wife with some of the members of the
crew were stationed. We jumped into
the remaining lifeboat and as we COM
peted the job a big sea broke over
the wreck and carried us clear Of the
decks.
"A strong current swept us toward
the stern of the wreck, where we could
see Captain Kersel and the rest of the
ships company clinging to the roof of
the aft house We yelled to them
to throw us a line as we went under

believe that the old volcano is awak-

some fear is felt of an eruption.
The volcano overlooks the city and
the entire valley of Mexico, and such
violence as that of Vesuvius would
mean destruction to the entire valley.

TAFT FOR PHILIPPINES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21,-Secretary
Taft today urged upon the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines the necessity
of removing the application of the
coastwise shipping laws from COM
merce between the islands and the
United States He argued that there
were not enough American bottoms
plying between the United States and
the Philippines to handle trade that
would come to this country if it were
not for the restriction in regard to
shipping
Senators Hale and Teller produced
figures in support Of an argument that
the increase of trade with the United
States had been so limited that it did
not warrant the removal of the restric-
tons No action was taken on the
several bills before the committee to
promote commerce between the United
States and the Philippine islands.

CONGRESS CHEERS JUNGLE JOE"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-One of the
most dramatic scenes ever witnessed
in the House occurred today, when
Congressman Boutelle, of Illinois, pre-
cipitated a remarkable demonstration
by de livering a touching Grafton urg-
ing the nomination of Uncle" Joe
Cannon, Speaker of the House, for the
presidency.
This being the 34th anniversary OF
Speaker Cannons first speech in the
House, Congressman Boutelle chose
this occasion on which to laud the IL
linOis statesman. In the course of his
remarks, Butelle recalled the fact that
when Cannon made his first speech in
Congress some one suggested that oats
might be found in his pocket. Then
he quoted from Cannon's speech,
which asked for the free distribution
of seeds through the mails
In reply to the suggestion about
oats in his pockets "a years ago, Can
non on that occasion replied:

the stern, and some one threw one, but
it fell short of our boat.
MY arm had been broken then, the
wrecked galley dropped on us, and
there was only one good oar, as the
other had been broken and the spare
oars washed away. We did our best
to get back to the wreck. but the set
of the undertow carried us away.
1--WE tried to head for Tillamook
light but we had no compass to steer
by. When morning broke l found we
were standing far out to sea. l thought
it best to keep the boat well out hop
ing to fall into the path of steamships.
With this hope l set the course north
ward along the coast.
THE second night out we saw lights,
but it was too dark to venture in.
There was neither food nor water ana
we suffered terribly from thirst during
Saturday. Toward evening the cook
declared he could stand it no longer,
and took drink of sea water. lie
soon became delirOus. At about ?
o'clock Sunday morning we saw a big
steamer. She stopped near us, and we
all believed we would be saved But
the vessel got under way again and
left us, The cook gave up the fight
then. He laid down in the water and
in few minutes he was dead.
About z o'clock Sunday morning we
made out Tattoosh Island We were
all too tired to manage the boat very
well, but along toward Sunday after
noon l got her headed back toward
Neah bay,
Sunday seemed the worst day we
were out, We kept seeing all sorts OF
vessels passing back and forth, but
none of them would answer our halls,
We were generally too far off to be
made out plainly / guess"

Yes, have oats in my pocket and
hayseed in my hair Western people
generally are affected that way, but
we expect that the seed, being good,
will yield good crops"
After Boutelle had quoted this part
of the old speech, the scene that touch
ed the heart of the rugged old legis-
lator from Illinois followed. Cheers
rang from every part of the hall, and
the applause lasted several minutes.
When the cheering subsidized, Con-
gresham Boutelle, still standing,
shouted:
And the oats he sowed "a years ago
weren't wild oats. They have yielded
generous returns. Three times has

House Of Representatives and how

been reported to Captain Thomas of
the Maryland he forwarded a letter to
Washington, in which the commander

roic sailors for their cool-headedness
in a moment of frightful peril. A copy
of this letter was given to each of the
brave gunners and in all probability
their act will be rewarded with promo

SAILORS PRESENCE OF MIND SAVES
CRUISER maryland FROM DISASTER

SAN FRANCISCO, February 22-An
act of heroism performed by three
on the United States cruis-
er Maryland during the recent target
practice held at Magdalena bay, was
all that prevented a repetition of the
Georgia disaster off the Massachusetts
coast last year, when Lieutenant Good,
rich, the son of Admiral Goodrich, and
thirteen of his shipmates met their
death in the explosion of one of the
big guns.
1t happened while the Maryland was
having her try at the navy record.
Since the accident on the Georgia it
has been the duty of the first loader,
during the minutes time allotted for
attempts at record-breaking, to in
spect the bore of the gun after every
shot and see that it is free from fire.
After the second or third shot from
No. 4, one of the Marylands eight-inch
guns, J. J. Donnelly, a seaman acting
as first loader, discovered that two
balls of fire were spinning around
within the screw box. This fire SHOULD

BETTER Than MEDICINE.
Breathe HyomeI's Tonic Healing
and be Cured of Catarrh.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine and
drugs.
1t is the healing oils and balsoms of
Hyomei which medicate the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, kill
ing all catarrhal germs and restoring
health to mucous membrane.
The use of Hyomei is Ikea curative
internal air bath, and has the same
healing and anticeptic effect as the air
where the pine forest give off their
fragrant and healing balsoms.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei and see how quickly you
will get relief from catarrh. If it does
not help you there will not be a penny
expense, as J. III. Hill & Son agree to
refund the money if it fails to cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
$1.OO.

GIVE ROOSEVELT CREDIT.

The President spoke freely and
strongly in his last annual message
against the practice Of magnates of
purchasing the executive head of the
country, debating the nominee and
naming his policy. Against this prac-
tice which spoiis, in the long run, the
downfall Of the republic President
Roosevelt spoke emphatically and
plainly. He wants no more of it. He
las got his fill, SO to speak, and Cortel-
you superintendent the filling.
Let US give the President credit, how
ever, for present intentions. But what
are the intentions of the rest of the
Republicans who have a voice in this
matter? What do Joe Cannon, and
Aldrich and Allison and Dalzell think
about it?
Here is a duty for the minority mem
bers of Congress to perform, Let them
prepare a bill on the lines of the Presi-
Dental message approprtating a def
mite per capita sum for campaign ex-
.penses to each party based on the last
vote polled, and prohibiting all private
campaign contributions. Let the bill
be prepared and then let us see what
Aldrich, Cannon q Co. will do with 1t.
Let the bill be presented in both
Houses. Let it be debated in the Sen
ate, and let it be inquired after in the
House at least once a week. In other
words, let the position OF the Republi-
cans on the question of purchasing
Presidential elections through the use
of great slush funds gathered from
trusts and otherlaw breakers, be made
clear, Or rather official, for it is clear
now eve to he ayfarer.
