FEARFUL SUFFERING
SEVEN sHIPwRECKED SAILORS
 ARE REsCUED.
kinc Members of Crew of Norwegian Bark Gcrmanic, Went Down With Thetr ship--Story
 of Experiences.

New York. Jan. s.-Seven shipwreck- cd saiiort, believed to be the only sur- vivors of the crew of sixteen of the Norwegian bark Germanic, were brought hsre today by the oil tank steamer Hoihan Newton.
 They were picked up in mid-ocean December IT in terrible condition from exposure, eight days after their vessel had been abandoned. Another boat which contained eight men has not been found. The captain of the bark, who remained on board until all men found places in the small boats. went down with his ship.
 The seven men who were rescued. tell a story of fearful suffering when they were picked up by the Newton. i0bliged to leave their sinking ship in the midst of storm which had twisted and opened the seams of the big bark. their little boat was tossed helplessly about by the waves. The scant store of provisions which they had succeed ed in getting together was in constant danger of being ruined by the salt wa ter which poured into the boat and their cask of drinking water became tainted.
 For many days they had nothing to drink but rain water which they caught in tarpaulins. The supply Of food allowed each man, was held down to the lowest possible amount even from the first, but even then it became exhausted after seven days and the men had been entirely without food for more than twenty-four hours when they were picked up by the steamer. They were in terrible condition when taken on board the Newton. Their bodies were covered with sores from the constant contact of salt spray which had swept over their little boat. aud they were so weak from exhaustion and lack of nourishment they were scarcely able to stand. It was several hours after they had been taken on board before any of the men were able to tell the story of their plight.
 From their story, 1t appears that the Germanic had bad luck from November 2S, when she sailed from Weymouth. N. S., for Fleetwood, England, until she went down in mid-oeean on December 2. The bark ran into gale soon af- ter leaving Weymouth and the wind increased until 1t was blowing with hurricane force. The Germanic sprung leak. her decks were burst open. the cabins washed away and she became completely water-logged. When it was seen that she could not long remain afloat. the order to take to the two small boats was given. It was almost too late, however, as there was scarce Iy time to stock the boats with food and water. and for the men to chamber in.
 Tn one of the boats were eight men and in the other seven, the captain re- maining on board until all the men had found places in the boats. Just as he was about to step aboard the bark gave q iurch and went down, carrying her captain with her. His body was pick ed t,p later by the boat crew which was rescued by the Newton. The two boats kept within sight of each other for sev- erai hours, after leaving the park put during the first night they becaine sep arated. The fate of the second boat, which contained eight members of the crew Is not known.

REV. FATHER D. J. STAFFORD
 SUCCUMBS 10 OPl RATION

Washington, Jap. s.-Rev. Father Denis J. Stafford. D. D.. priest of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church of this city, an irremovable parish and one of the most noted divines in the country. died this afternoon at Provi- dence Hospital following an operation last Tuesday. Dr. Stafford was forty seven years of age, and was ordained to the priesthood December 19. 1885. His emminence as Shakespearean scholar. pulpit orator and platform lecturer was widely recognized. The principal cause of death was cirrhosis of the liver.
 Dr. Stafford was the son of John J. Stafford, contractor of this city. For five years he was attached to St. Johns Cahredral, Cleveland, Ohio. It was there that his brilliance as a preacher first mainfested Itself. He later was transferfed { to Massillon, Ohio, where he remained for nearly a year. In 1891 he was sent to Balti- more and for nearly three years was stationed at St. Peters Church. He was sent to Washington by Cardinal Gibbons at the earnest desire of his many Washington friends and was as- signed to St. Patrick's Church as as- sistant priest, later being promoted to priest upon the death of the Rev. Fa- ther Gloyd. Since his .hcumbency the magnificent granite building adjoining the church now used for the rectory, st. Patrick's Academy and Carroll Hall were erected and at their dedica- tion Sunday, November 30, 1904, Pres ident Roosevelt delivered the address in the presence of vast concourse of peeple
 The presence of the President was out of sincere admiration for Dr. Staff ford. He was devoted to the cause of education and took and unusual inter- est in everything that pertained to the relief of human distress.

CounaeI Ia Named

Richmond. Va. Jan. 3-Judge Pritch- ard today entered the following order in the Seaboard Air Line Railway case:
 Ut is ordered that Messrs. A. c. Braxton, I. l.. Lewis. Samuel Unter- myer and Eppa Hunton. Jr.. be and they are hereby appointed counsel for the receivers heretofore appointed in this case"
 It is understood that MT. Untermyer was appointed upon the suggestion of Receiver Warfield and Mir. Hunton up on the suggestion and request of Re- ceiver Williams and MT. Braxton and Judge Lewis were appointed by the court of it's own motion.

the coupons maturing January l. Tn this Mir. Williams also declined to join and so 1t was done without him
 At this stage it occurred to me that it would Do a wise and graceful thing, though In no sense necessary, to invite the Williams interest to participate in the receivership, which every one agreed to be inevitable, and thus put an end to the newspaper agitation that MT. Williams has been for years con- ducting to the injury of the property and at the expense of the security holders. During all these years Messrs. Ryan and Blair and their associates. had been pouring their own money into the property to the extent of over Sl2.- 060 ,000 on what was proved to be mainly precarious and unsalable se- curities. It was with this money that the business was increased thirty per cent and the gross earnings over s4.- 900 ,000 in three years. Without that aid the property would have been bank rupted and disintegrated and the SC cnrity holders would have lost their in- vestment.
 During all this time Mir. Williams confined his activities to abusing, crit icizing and misrepresenting the people who were trying to save and develop this great property, the wisdom of whose course Will be In the end Vln- dicated. He contributed nothing in the way of help. It ill-becomes him, when these gentlemen have put aside their grievances and risen above personal consideration and taken him into camp for the welfare of the property to mis- represent their attitude and thus re- open the controversy.
 The fact is that MT. Byrne and are largely responsible for the ar engagement by which the court was asked that the Williams interest be represented in the receivership. It was first suggested on Tuesday on our way to Richmond in the expectation of ef- fecting permanent peace, which we still are hoping will be the result.
 MT. Williams seems to have miscon- strued that act and its effect. His statement would appear ungracious to say the least under the circumstances, and a little discouraging to those who expect him to rise to the occasion in- stead of creating a wrong impression of the situation, into which he was in- vited, into a personal victory of vindi- cation. All hatchets have been buried, and it is hoped for the sake of all con- cerned, they will stay buried"

A FUTURE FOR
THE PAPAYA

Isolating the alkaloid, or active prin,
ciple of the papaya, one of Hawaii s
luscious fruits, and reducing it to a
liquid form for use as a digestive aid,
has been the endeavor for the past
few weeks of f. c. Waterbury, presi-
dent of the Waterbury Chemical Com
pany of Des Moines, Ia, who has
been in Honolulu for some time, acting
in conjunction with Contract Surgeon
F. NJ. McCallum, U. S. A, at Fort Shat.
ter.
Experiments and Investigations will
continue for nearly year until the
doctors are assured that the papaya
has just the qualities hoped for, when
the product will be given trial in
Eastern hospitals by eminent phys
icians who have assisted in similar ex-
periments for Mr.. Waterbury. Among
these is DR.. Hare of Philadelphia, one
of the best known authorities on medi-
cines, who will shortly pass through
Honolulu from the Orient, en- route
home.
Before leaving on the steamship Ma
nuka yesterday for the Colonies, MIR.
Waterbury, referring to the expert
ments being made, said:
"Acting with DR.. McCallum of Fort
Shafter we have isolated the crystal,
or alkaloid, or active principle of the
papaya, which is obtained from the
fruit, leaf or plant in general. In any
event the best digestive strength is
to be had from the green fruit. The
ripe fruit contains the same digestive
properties only in less strength. The
crystals as we have isolated them are
highly calculated.
"The experiments have proven that
the digestive properties in test No. l
act similarly to the gastric secretions
of the calves stomachs, known chem.
ically as rennet, tests being made
| where the properties of the papaya will
completely coagulate many times Its
weight in pure milk under ninety de-
grees of heat. The isolated crystals
act upon cream (fats) very similar to
the digestive secretions. Tests made
with boiled egg (albumen) produced
practically the same results as the gas
trio secretions, or rather pepsin by the
addition of hydrochlorlc acid"
Mr.. Waterbury believes there will be
splendid future for the development
of the papaya in the Hawaiian Islands
Laboratory experiments, as well as hos
pital experiments, will be continued un
til the tests are sufficient to place thu
properties in the hands of eminen
physicians for experiment.
While here Mr.. Waterbury secures
contracts to furnish the Settlemen
with cod liver oil.

A Dull Stock Market.
The stock market has been very dun
during the week and prices on a num-
Der of the best stocks have dropped
considerably. A part of the dullness
has been due, no doubt, to the wide
spread interest centered in politics. A
holiday yesterday also had it's effect
in keeping down the volume of bust
ness transacted. The price of 96-dc-
gree centrifugals has remained un-
changed during the week, but the price
of beets has dropped one and a half
pence.
Eva has suffered very little in the
quotations Hawaiian Commercial has
dropped two and quarter, and Oahu
dollar.
There has been nothing in the situa-
tion regarding any of the local plan
tations to make change, so that the
cause must be sought elsewhere. This
is Just at the end of the sugar season
What the plantations did this year is
known fully. 1t is a little too early
to begin figuring on what they will
do next year, so that there is no room
just at the present time for the spec
ulative spirit to exercise itself. There
is abundant money looking for invest
mont, as the piling up of deposits in
the banks shows. But there does not
seem n disposition to invest it in stocks
at present quotations, though the mar
