GREAT DISASTER AT SEA
Narrowly Averted
l,720 Passengers Safely Removed

New York, April7. All Of the
|, 720 passengers on the stranded
steamship, Princess Irene were
satisfactorily transferred to the
Prinz Friedrich Welhelm at 5
O'Clock this afternoon and
brought on to this city after hav-
ing been stranded on the sand
off long Island since early yester-
day morning.
1t took 5 hours and 10 minutes
to safely transfer the passengers
and shortly after 6 o'clock all
we're safely on their way to this
city.
Not a life was lost and no case
of panic was reported. The first
passenger off was a woman and
the second was a baby. The cab
in passengers, masters of the sit
uation and the language, gener-
ously gave precedence to the
more timorous of the steerage
passengers. The feat is unpar-
alelled in the history of marine dis
asters. AS for the liner on the
bar, it is expected she will be a
prisoner in the grip of the sands
for a week.

THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

Clate Tinan, one of the real sports
men of the state, speaks Of the prairie
chicken in his Kimball Graphic as
follows:
Notwithstanding the law has given
prairie chickens all the protection it
could for three years, hunters will
find, when they take the field Sep
tember 10 as great a scarcity of them
as before the law went into effect
perhaps more so. The past two
years have been unusually favorable
to the birds in the way of weather
during Matching season, but the birds
are mighty scarce compared to former
years. 1t is difficult to account for it,
but it is a fact, nevertheless, that
once any species of game bird
onc starts on the downward
course the law cannot aid them,
1t would, perhaps, if the law was
strictly obeyed, but there are always
enough v~iolators OF the law to take
the birds faster than they can multi
ply, and when once the total mum
Der left for propagation is small, it
is the beginning of the end. There
are many farmers who protect the
prairie chickens by not only letting
them alone themselves, but by keep
ing off hunters in season and out OF
season-they do not all kill them law
or no law-and the farmers who like
to have the beautiful birds about their
farms await with dread the coming
of the rapid fire guns and the dogs
September 10; they dread the slaugh.
ter to follow; the determination OF
the few coyies that for the past three
years have been unmolested. The
writer Of this gives to no man q
keener zest for prairie chicken hunt
ing, but he would like to see the
next Legislature pass a law prohibiting
the killing of another prairie chicken
in South Dakota. This year and next
will practically terminate the spor'
of hunting them because of theil
scarcity, and why not let it termin
ate the wickedness of exterminatine
them?"
