Democracy"
Il come to you tonight as a messenger
of glad tidings and great joy. Never in a
generation has the outlook for democratic
victory either in the state or nation been
as bright as at the present time The
country Is ripe for democratic tri-
umph because It has come to see that the
party in power is either unwilling or un-
able to accomplish the reforms demanded
by the people and the promise of which

II have every respect consideration and
admiration for an insurgent republican, for

finally discovered the light of democratic
truth rising above the national horizon,
and who has the honesty and courage to
say that it is the sun OF righteousness that
appears though its shining shafts of light,
but serve to glorify and make plain the
eternal truth and Justice of democratic
principles and it's shadows to make more
dark and dismal the failure of the party
in power to carry out its pledges to the

Pension Measure Before Senate Re-
quires Widow to Live with Hus-
band Three Years.

WASHINGTON, Feb A-The young
widows are coming In for their share of
Uncle Sans generosity in the shape of
pensions The present pension law grants
annuiues only to the widows of soldiers
of the civil war who were married before
June q, 1890 As Is well known many of
the old soldiers took helpmates unto
themselves under that date and for the
last twenty years congress has been be-
sleged in the interest OF this multitude.
There are between 10000 and 5000 of
them, and the pressure has come 70 be SO
strong that 1t looks as IL it would not
70 withstood for great while. Indeed
ne senate committee on pensions has de-
1ed to meet for the purpose of taking
the question and 1t is considered prob
.e that favorable report will be made
within a comparatively short time. The
house committee also has agreed to con-
slider the subject and the intimatons are
that the report from that committee will
be favorable.
If the. bill should become law 1t would
add from 100000 to $1,000 600 to the pension
roll There is a special provision in the
bill requiring that in order to become a
beneficiary widow under its terms any
widow must have lived with her soldier
husband at least three years
This requirement is inserted to protect
the veterans from the wiles OF any woman
who might seek to ally themselves with
them only for the purpose of putting
themselves in the way of becoming subjects
Of Uncle Sans charitable minstrations.
The bill has the sanction OF the Grand
Army of the Republic.

RACE FOR SINKING LIMA
Five Boats Are Making Strenuou:
Effort to Save Passengers.
THRILLING STORY OF REscU1
Two Hundred and Five sPersons Taken
Off Vessel DurinlE storm When
Life Boat IL
Lost.

ANCUD, Chile, Feb. 1A-The Chilean
cruiser Ministro Zenteno and five steamers
Of the Pacific Navigation company are
racing south today in the desperate hope
that they may save the eighty-eight per-
sons who, when last reported, were clinging
to the stern of the British steamer Lima
as the vessel was pounding itself to pieces
on a reef in the Huamblin passage in the
strait of Magellan.
Two hundred and five persons were taken
from the wreck by the British steamer
Hatumet, under difficulties which finally
compelled the Hatumet TO abandon the
rescue work. Four of the Hatumet's crew
sacrificed their lives before their captain
commanded his Grew to cease their efforts
The Hatumet has arrived here and today
it's captain told the story of the wreck and
rescue. He said:
when we sighted the wreck we put out
our small boats, which closely approached
the stern of the Lima, where passengers
and crew had gathered. We made con-
nection between the two vessels with 500
fathoms of cable and were successful in
lowering 205 persons into our small boats
and in getting them upon the Hatumet.
Heavy seas were rolling, which made
the work of rescue perilous and finally
the Limas end of the cable slipped from
it's stern and became entangled in the
rocks. Without the aid of the cable we
could not reach the wreck and but for this
accident all would have been rescued.
In the increasing seas our boats made
futile efforts to reach the wreck. The
Lima threw out another line, which our
chief mate made a daring attempt to pick
up. The second connection was eventually
made, but the line, suddenly Tightening
upset one of our small boats and our chief
mate, ships carpenter, the fourth engineer
and a steward were drowned My boat
rescued the others Of the small boats
crew.
II signalled the captain of the Lima that
we had but one small boat left and that as
this was badly strained We had better pro-
ceed to Ancud for further assistance.
''The Lima had a strong hst to star
board and its port quarter is under water.
1t had seventeen feet Of water In its engine
room. When we last saw 1t it lay in a
dangerous position and was striking hard

New York Court Rules that Secretary

APPEARED BEFORE GRAND JURY
Judge Holds that He Was Not Re-
quired to Testify Against Himself.

to Not Guilty"
WILL LOOK INTO DRAWBACKS"
Allegation that Duty Has Been Re-
funded on Sugar that Was Not
Exported to be Investi-
gated.
t FIRST ADMITTED GUILT
WILL LOOK INTO DRAWBACKS"

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Charles r.. HeIke,
secretary OF the American Sugar Refining
company, the so-called Sugar trust, is not
immune" He must stand trial, beginning
March next, on indictments charging him
with other employees Of the company Of
consplring TO defraud the government by
underweighing imports of sugar.
For weeks past counsel for Heike have
attempted to prove before a jury in the
United States circuit court that Heike could
not be prosecuted in view of testimony he
gave before the grand jury which returned
the indictments. But in this they failed
for Judge Martin ruled this afternoon that
in the courts opinion the defendant was
not entitled to immunity and accordingly
he instructed the jury to bring in formal
verdict dismlssng the plea lnterposed In
the secretarys behalf
HeiISe Admits Guilt.
In arguing for immunity counsel for
Heike admitted his guilt, but maintained
that though guilty his grand jury testi-
mony was a bar to prosecution. This led
the government lawyers to make the an
nouncement that II the plea was not sus-
tanned the government would move for i'm
mediate sentence on the ground Of admis-
sion of guilt. No such action was taken
today however Heikes lawyers changed
the plea to mot guilty" and time for trial
was fixed.
In ruling against Heike today Judge Mar
tin referred to the danger that would fol-
low II indiscrlminate pleas at bar were en-
tertalned or allowed, and the opportunity It
would give rich men to avoid the admins
tration OF justice. There had been no evi-
dence, he said, to show that the govern
ment was animated by bad faith in bring
ing the defendant before the grand jury
or that any effort was made to extract
testimony from the defendant that might
be used against him.
VIII Look Into Drawbacks.
After the Heike matter Is disposed Of
Federal Prosecutor Wise will take up an
other important phase. The inquiry is to
| be directed at drawbacks which sugar re-
filming companies have received on imports
when the refined product has afterward
| been exported.
| The inquiry viii be to determine whether
these drawbacks were always collected or
bona fide exports of sugar made from i'm
ported raw material. II the contrary
/ proves to be the case the federal authori.
ties say there may be further collections
from the companies by the government
possibly to the extent of $1OOO0OO.
