Speakers Are Eloquent.

Washington.-An army of two thou

captivating spring bonnets.
Heading this army were two gener-

Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells good story
about the domestic unhappiness Of an
other actor. The hero of the joke was
a man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company in
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more appreciative OF the
tady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petrified with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with a gesture of
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didD'c

OFF BEACHY HEAD.
oCEANA GOES TO BOTTOM
And the Other Boat Is Damaged SerE-
ousIy-Four of Crew of Schooner
Maxwell Drowned In Col
Iision In Chesapeak Bay.

New Haven, Cornwall, England
Four passengers and eleven sailors
were drowned as result of a collision
between the Peninsular & Oriental
liner Oceana, and the German bark
Pisagua, off Beachy Head, in the Eng
lish channel.
A report has reached here that the
Pisagua has foundered with all on
board. No confirmation of the report
has come to hand.
For some time the lives of the lin
er's Al passengers and of the 280 men
of her crew were placed in danger.
The courage of the officers and the
speedy arrival of assistance, however,
prevented a terrible catastrophe.
Twenty-eight of the passengers were
landed here and nine at East Bourne
in small boats, but four have been
drowned, together with some members
of the Lascar crew, by the capsizing
of boat which was transferring them
to a cross channel steamer standing
by.
The Oceana was bound from London
down the English channel, when off
Beachy Head the bark smashed into
her broadside on and practically tore
the side out of the steamer.
The passengers and the officers be-
haved with great calmness, but the
crew, which was composed of Lascars,
was panic-stricken and delayed the

from cross-channel steamer picked up
a large number of passengers and life
boats also were sent out from shore
in reply to signals of distress.
An attempt was first made to beach
the Oceana, but she sank quickly
passengers were in their berths. The
water rushed in SO quickly that the
lower decks were awash in a few mo-
ments and the passengers trying to
make their way to the upper decks
had to wade through water to their
waists. The first boat lowered was
swamped and the passengers were
thrown into the water, but they we're
all picked up. The second boat was
just sinking when a lifeboat from
shore reached it.
The bark Pisagua proceeded on her
voyage with most of her headgear car
ried away.
The Oceana had on board nearly $751;
100000 in bullion She is one of the
oldest Peninsular and Oriental liners
and this was to have been her last
voyage. She had been running con-
tinuously since 1888.

Strong Likelihood of Such Action, on

Wickersham indicated that there
was a strong likelihood of a re-
hearing being asked of the Supreme

It is said he has taken the matter
up by letter with the parties at issue,
asking if a rehearing was desired.
The government, not being a party
to the suit, can act only through the
defeated parties. The rehear;ng would
be asked on the ground that a full
bench had not passed on the case.
