PASSENGERS ALL SAFE
Women and Children Placed In
LifebOats First.

Most Of the Passengers Were Asleep
When the Minnehaha Struck on the
Scilly Pocks-officer Say That Ow-
ing to Thick Weather They Had
Been Unable to Take Observations
For Three Days-Vessel to Be Re-
floated as Soon as It Is Lightered.
London, April 19.-The latest re-
! )rts from the Scilly islands, where
the Atlantic transport liner Mime
haha went ashore in the fog early
Monday morning, say the crew of the
ship is now employed in salving the
cargo.
The Ninnehaha lies on her side on
'he Scilly rock with her bow pointing
10 the westward. She has a hole
amidships and there are 20 feet of wa
Ter in her hold. The engine and boil
er rooms are intact, but it is not
thought likely that she will be Roated
at the naXt high tide. The captain
and crew are still aboard.
When it was seen that the ship was
taking in water the lifeboats were low
cred. The women were placed in
these first and the men passengers
afterwards.
Two boats that had meantime ar.
rived from Bryer island piloted the
ships boats towards the shore. The
tOats subsequently returned for the
passengers baggage and also for pro-
visions, as the resources on Bryer is
land, which is the nearest inhabited
island in Scillv, were somewhat over
taxed. The passengers are all well.
The officers Of the Minnehaha say
that owing to the thick weather they
had been unable to take observations
for three days. Late at night the
lookout was eagerly searching for
Bishop lighthouse when he sighted
rocks ahead. One passenger says he
distinctly felt a grating sensation and
a minute later the ship struck.
Captain Layland saws that he ex-
poets that the vessel VIII be refuated
as soon as the cargo has been sufIi!
ciently lightened.
Word has been received here that
most of the passengers were asleep
when the liner struck Only four
were on deck, the rest having gone
below long before One of these who
had remained up said that he was
standing amidships and looking over
rhe rail when he suddenly saw rocks
ahead. Almost at the same instant
the captain noticed a rock alongside
and he ordered the snip put about sc
as to head to seaward.
I'VE thought We were safe" this
passenger said, "but in less than five
minutes the ship struck and remain.
ed fast. Everyone was called on deck
The ladies generally had but little
time to tend to their toilet, as large
number of them appeared on deck in
scanty attire"
The correspondent of the Sun
wires that he saw most of the pas
sengers and that all agree as to the
utter absence of anything resembling
panic. All were loud in their praise
of the officers, especially the captain
and mate. The passengers are now
comfortably settled in hotels, two of
which are situated on st. Mary's. One
hundred men are camping in the town
hall Every lodging house is packed
to the door.

MIR. SANGER IS
 STILL DEMOCRATIC But Likes Club Idea Managing Ward Politics. He Saws

Rumor had it that Former Alder man Joseph M. Sanger had joined the Republican party since he was a guest of honor of the Ninth District Republicans, at their banquet at the Atlantic hotel, Saturday night.
 MT. Sanger said this morning: "I have not quit the party. I have been a Democrat by choice for the past forty years, but I am an American before I am Democrat. I have been little dissatisfied with the way they do things in the Ninth district for some time past. I don't think the Democrats residing west of East Main street get enough consideration. I like the idea of having clubs in the districts so that the voters can get together and discuss matters. The men who were at the dinner were all my friends and neighbors, and having been an alderman from the district on two different occasions it was just an honor accorded to me by them."

PAULHAN PLANS AEROPLANE
 FLIGHT OF 262 MILES
Special from United Presso

Paris, May 1S.-Just to turn the joke on M. Michelin, the pneumatic tire maker, and incidentally, to win a prize of s20,000, Louis Paulhan is soon to attempt an aeroplane flight from Paris to Clermont-Ferrand in the Midi, a distance of 262 miles.
 Three years ago MicheEn offered $20, ,OO0 for such a flight and named other conditions that caused the offer to be laughed at at the time as it terms were considered impossible. At the start of the flight the aviator must circle the Arch of Triumph at the top of the Champs Elysee and at the conclusion he must fly around the summit of the Puy De Dome, which is 4,S13 feet high. Paulhan is said, to have expressed the belief that Michelin was bluffing when he made this of fer and to teach him a lesson he will attempt the flight confident of success.
