tered the lower bay at 9 o'clock tonight
and dropped anchor an hour later of
quarantine, where it will be held up
until tomorrow
Wireless operators reported the air
virtually flooded with greetings from
friends ashore. to which the cardinal
could only reply with one all inclusive
thanks.
MY heart is filed with gratitude to
everybody he replied. Anything
more at this time would be superfiuous,

unnecessary to again tell the people

Congratulations Pour In

Congratulations from all quarters, in
cluding the legations, have been pour
ing in on Yuan Shi Kai throughout the
day. The attack on the premier appar-
emily has removed doubts in the views
OF the Manchus as to his loyalty. For
eign legations declare that Yuan's death
would throw north China into a state
of lawlessness demanding immediate in
tervention by the powers.
The belief is general that Yuan Shi
Kali is necessary to the transition from
the old to the new order, otherwise a
change would make shambles of Pc
king. The bomb thrower, who is a ma
tive of Kweichow, 1t is said, will be
executed tomorrow.
1t is believed the three republican
cruisers that arrived at Chez Foo to-
day were conveying troops from
Shanghai, which are remaining outside
for the present. Three hundred revo-
lutionists who yesterday seized Tang
chowfu in Shantung were transported
to the landing place by a Japanese
steamer.
Grave disorders are reported in Ho-
nan, particularly at Chenchow. where
the French minister is considering the
advisability of calling in the railway
employees. There is renewed unrest at
Tientsin and serious disorders are
prevalent In other places.
]. W.. Bashford, resident bishop in
China, and other prominent American
missionaries at Shanghai have sent =
cablegram to the administration at
Washington expressing the view that
republic is inevitable and IL sprac-
ticahae.

Two days out of .Grays harbor the
Thayer sprung lex. This was on
January T.. At first only the hand
pumps were put to work. and the
seven men of the crew relieved each
other on regular shifts. Captain Car
roll Scott himself went down to To-
cate the trouble, and then il. was found
how serious it was The water was
rising faster than it was being pumped
out, and there was no locating the
leak. 1t was. under too much water.
Then the steam pump was set GO
ing, and the hand pumps, too, and, on
January 8, after 4s hours of exhaust
ing toll, came the storm that tried the
fnep's souls and brought out the pluck
of the captains wife.
Fair Prey of Storm =.
1t was a heavy southeaster and IT
caught the Thayer off the Humboldt
coast, about 80 miles north of Eureka.

with its load OF water robbing> it of all

he could, but FOR vessel and for crew

That's the way she joked and laughed
while we worked at the pumps. or just

''One night she sang TO US. and she
used to stand next to the captain while
he was at the wheel and sing to him
all the time. She carried US through,

Stays by Her Husband
Last Saturday the smoke OF a steamer
was sighted, and the Thayer hoisted It's
ensign. upside down, as distress sig
nal. The steamer came alongside. and
proved to be the President of the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company's fleet.
Lining her rail. the passengers on the
big liner looked down on the little bat
tered schooner while Captain Scott
hailed and asked that a wireless be
sent to Eureka to send out aetug. Cap

transferred to the President, and the
captain of the liner shouted out to
bring her over, but Mrs. Scott refused
and would not hear of It.

carriage while he was on his way to
the imperial court this morning and
killed two soldiers, injured II other

Bad Aim Saved Yuan's Life

Yuan Shi Kai's assailants we're three
Chinese, said to be eprominent revolu
tionaries. They were standing on the
sidewalk when the premier's carriage
approached. When the vehicle was
about 30 yards from them one of the
men threw a large bomb in its direc-
tion, but his aim was so bad that the
missile exploded 90 feet from the car
riage. The vehicle ratified and shook
from the shock, but Yuan Shi Kai es-
capped unscathed and appeared not to
be greatly perturbed.
The force of the explosion was so
great that many houses hundreds Of
yards away were shaken.

Route Lined With Guards

Yuan Shi Kai was driving in car
riage with. open windows. which was
preceded and followed by an escort of
cavalry The route was lined by SOL
diers and police stationed five yards
apart, the men facing alternately in
wards and outwards and carrying
loaded rifles with fixed bayonets.
When Yuan Shi Kais carriage arrived
opposite the residence of Doctor Morrf-
son, correspondent Of the London Times.
at the corner of which the assailants
had been observed standing, bomb
was hurled.
without waiting to see the effect of
their deed. the perpetrators rushed to-
ward neighboring house. Soldiers and
police. however. were close at their
heels and they were arrested. Others
suspected OF being accomplices in the
attempted assassination also have been
arrested.
