Thinks Clarke Should Stay.

Senator Clarke is sure to have
opposition in the next primary,
but the man who beats Old Cot
ton Top will know he has been
in the race. He has risen from
the ranks to the position next to-
the vice president in the senate
and is recognized as one Of the
strongest and most influential
senator's in congress. Arkansas
will hardly turn him down for a
nonentity who would require
years of service to rise to the
high mark set by Clarke

DEATHS CAUSED BY PANIC
ALL ON D1ARD voLTuRNo MIGHT
st1lfNE BE EN- SAVED. IL
OH FaSfs the Narragansett Gained
the Angry Waters Long Enough (,
for Relief Work.

London, Eng, Oct. 14.-The stories
told by the passengers of the steam
snip Carman4a and other lines which
went to the rescue of the burning
Volturno describe the heroic efforts In
the face of almost insuperable diff
culties to save the passengers and crew
of the doomed ship.
AS yet, information is lacking as to
how the fire originated, but it is shown
that the fact that not more lives were
lost was due in the first place to- the
wireless and second to Captain Bars
happy idea of calling the Narragan-
sett for oil.
What issues clearly from all the
narratives is that practically all the
lives lost were sacrificed in attempts
to launch all the boats before the ar
rival of other steamers, and that had
Captain Inch known SO much help
would be forthcoming practically all
might lave been saved.
Believing oil would calm the noun
famous seas enough to permit rescue
work, Captain Barr sent wireless calls
for an oil snip.
II will be up with the milk in the
morning" was the cheerful reply
photographed by Commander HARDWOOD
of the AnglO-American oil steamer
Narragansett to the Csrmanias call
for help.
True to his word, the skipper of the
Narragansett brought his steamer to
the scene early on Friday morning
and Immediately sluiced hundreds Of
tons OF oil on the waves.
T. 7. Watson of Philadelphia, an
other of the passengers of the Car
mania, said that the chief credit for
saving those on the Volturno was I'M
doubtedly due to the oil ship Nara
gansett. only few good swimmers"
he declared, would have survived
from the ill fated ship had not the
Narragansett made free use OF oil to
calm the terrible waters.
when the Narragansett arrived,
the Grosser Kurfuerst, with other
liners, got in as close as possible, and
lowered lifeboats. These took aboard
several persons who had jumped from
the Volturno and the work was greatly
facilitated by the steam pinnace of
the Grosser Kurfuerst, which stayed
out all night. At once the Narragan-
sett began to spray oil about the
doomed ship and the waves subsidized
as by magic. Soon the small boats
were enabled to run alongside the
liner and take the clinging people
from the ladders. The rescue work
was over in very short time. Eleven
liners formed the boundary around
the film of oil, aud the survivors were
hoisted aboard the various steamers
without trouble"
