ANTILLES AGROUND.
Now Orleans Steamer Reported in Dss-
 fress

Now Ovzeans Steamer Reported sn Dis-
 tress.
 Houston, Tex, Oct. 12.-A special to The Post from the wireless station at Port Arthur. Tex, tonight says:
 ''S ?. m.-Southern Pnet4so stea mship Antilles ashore. latitude 3% 34. longi- tude 7s or. Wants assistance to float ship and help take of passengers"
 Governor Sanders of Lyosisiana is among the ps ssengers aboard the An titles.
 According to her schedule. she should have been somewhere in the vicinity of Jupiter light, of the east Florida ccasf when 8he iaa yfeane struck her, and the bearings given in the wireless message and the fact that she went aground. conhFms that im- pression.
 Her usual course Is within a few miles of the coast as far as Jupiter light, after which shs vssrs off and sets further sway from the coast.
 Carries Many Passengers.
 New Orleans, Oct. 12-Ths Southern Pacific steamship Antilles reported aground off the Florida coast. carries 126 first and second class cabin pas sengers. and officers and crew number ing about sixty men.
 While the news of the grounding Of the Antilles caused considerable appre- hsnsaon here. at the same time a def: mite knowledge of the vessels fate, with the intimation that the situation does not gravsIy threaten the lives of those on board. has in a large measure relieved the anxiety of relatives and friends of passengers and crew. which has existed since it became known that the Antilles had been probably caught in the teeth of Monday nights hurricane.
 The latitude and longitude given in the message from the Antilles indi- cates that it went ashore on the Grand Key West. No messages supplement- Ing the first call for assistance have reached New Orleans from the An titles.
 Officials of the steamship company express the belief that the vessel is resting in a comparatively safe posi- tion and that no danger of destruction threatens 1t or those on board.
 Prompt measures of relief have been taken The steamship Comus of the Southern Pacific line will leave early tomorrow to take on the Antilless passengers and render such assistance as may be necessary. Vessels from Havana and Charleston will also hurry to the scene.
 Repeated efforts were made tonight to get into touch with the Antilles by relaying messages to the Momus, but the latter vessel could not be reached by the wireless. It is believed possible that the Momus may have had its wire less instruments impaired to such an extent as to be unable to get Into touch with New Orleans and yet be able to receive messages from the An titles, a much shorter distance away. In such an event, the Momus undoubt edly turned about to the assistance of it's sister ship.
 When last heard from. the Momus was in the Florida straits, 1o5 miles south of Jupiter inlet light.

"CORNERED AGAIN"

On the first page of the Picayune's is
Sue of April ID, there is an illustration
entitled ''Cornered Again." in which is
presented fbrcefully the effective opera
ton Of the Payne Tariff Bill.
AS trust magnate, holding in hand
a sack of wheat and in the other bag
of money, which he is jamming in a
corner, there is visible from windows the
farmer who is grim visaged who re-
marks: Il get no more for my grain, y
and the working man of serious mien
who exclaims: 1T don't raise my wages,
the corner gets it all. !"
As has been frequently declared by
the Caucasian, trusts and combines
would be short lived without the pro-
lection, as it is styled, of the iniquitous
tariff imposed on the masses by the Re-
publican party.
There is only one source Of relief for
the masses, and this relief is based on
the Democratic principle of tariff for
revenue only, but as the Republicans are
i'll full control of the government and
have full sway in legislation, the domi-
nancy of the trusts and the combines
will continue as in the past, regardless
of the protests of the consumers, who,
after all, must bear the burden of gov
eminent while the protected and the
favored few grow richer and more pow
erful and more defiant in their exac-
tons.
In time, perhaps, the people may be
awakened to a realization of the fact
that the so-called protection of Ameri-
can industries, as maintained by the
Republican party, is sham and fraud
