large retinue OF diplomatists and sol.

Vienna to take part in the congress

Europe. The thrones which Napoleon
had overturned were to be righted and
the old despots whom he had dis.
missed were TO be given back their
scepters. The first weeks OF the con.

Among the strangest coins In the
world are those used In certain out-of.
theway towns and villages In south
west Nigeria. on the west coast OF
Africa. and called "manillas." In shape
they resemble horseshoe with the
two extremities flattened out like a
camers foot. Being made of solid
copper. three-eighths of an inch thick.
they weigh over eight ounces each.
In face value" seven of these queer
coins are equivalent to one quarter.
SO that dollars worth would be an
uncomfortable. heavy load.
Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives. but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At one
time the strangely shaped money had
quite circulation In certain parts OF
the coast, but its use is now restricted
to few bush towns and one or two
OF the smaller seaboard places. includ.

San Francisco. Calif.-Forty-three
survivors had been rescued Tuesday
night from the wrecked wooden steam
or Hanalei. which went ashore, In q
dense fog, on Duxbury reef, nine miles
north of the Golden Gate. and was
shivered to spllnters by the pounding
surf.
Eighteen dead had been either
washed ashore at Bolinas, Just east
Of the dreaded reef, or brought to port
by the United States revenue cutter
McCulloch and the navy tug Iroquois.
How many are missing never will
be accurately known. for the best
available passenger list In the COM
pany's possession gives 2S passengers
and 26 crew. q total Of 81 souls. where
as the known dead and saved number
81. These figures do not include two
life savers. washed ashore alive. and
three missing. Their boat was
swamped.
The heroism of Sydney Ashton. chief
steward OF the Hanalei, WAS given Off
cial recognition by Mayor Rolph. who
called at the emergency hospital and
offered his congratulations to the man.
Ashton was completely exhausted
when he was saved. When the Hama
lei began to break up. Ashton strapped
to his back the 15-months-old baby Of
ra
swan to q piece OF wreckage. He
also managed to get Mrs. Franz upon
the wreck, and then for four hours he
fought to prevent the mother and child
from being swept away by the waves.
Mrs. Franz managed to cling to the
wreckage until picked up by u life
boat. but Just as safety was at hand.
a huge comber swept the baby away.
Speaking from a cot in the emerg-
ency hospital. ]. F. Mason, a survivor.
said: Everybody on board. every
member Of the crew. and every pas
senger, was hero. Not even the wom-
en- whimpered once. They stood in n
group, one woman with baby In her
arms, and took their fate stoically."
When the Hanalei began to break
up. Captain Carey ordered all the pas
sengers and the crew to climb on
pieces Of wreckage. All OF the women
and the two wireless operators. Love-
Joy and Svendon. climbed on top OF
the pilot house. As the vessel broke
up the pilot house floated towards
shore. but a large timber crashed
against II. throwing all OF those on II
into the water. This was the last
seen of Lovejoy and Svendon.
One Of the last persons TO be saved
was Captain Carey. He floated ashore
with a pile OF wreckage and was found
unconscious under 1t.

Hanalei could both row and swim was

Washington. = President w ilson
has announced the appointment OF
Seth Low of New York. Charles w.

Giiday of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. as
a commission through which future
differences between operators and
miners involved In the present Colo
rado coal strike may be settled.

ley, the conciliators who have been
attempting to settle the strike for
3everal months. will continue In their
efforts to have the operators and min.
ers agree on a settlement of the pres.
ont strike.
In a statement announcing the ap-
pointment of the commission the
President expressed "the very earnest
and sincere hope that the parties may
see 1t not merely to their own best
interest but also duty which they
owe to the communities they serve
and to the nation itself to make use
OF this instrumentality OF peace and
render strikes of the kind which has
threatened the order and prosperity
Of the great State OF Colorado thing
Of the past
The appointment Of such a commits
sion was contemplated In the plan for
temporary settlement of the strike.
which the president proposed several
months ago, and which was accepted
by the miners but rejected by the op-
orators.
One Of the chief objections of the
operators to the plan was the naming
OF the commission.
The President announced In his
statement that the commission will
place themselves at the services
alike OF the miners and operators OF
Colorado, In case controversy between
them should In the future develop cir
cumstances which would render me-
diation the obvious way of peace and
Just settlement"
Wilson added that merely to
withdraw the federal troops and leave
the situation to settle itself would
seem TO me to be doing something
less than my duty. after all that has
occurred"
He had been asked by Governor
Ammons OF Colorado to withdraw the
troops from some of the districts and
will discuss the question with Sec
retary Garrison of the War Depart

The original basis OF agreement Of
fered by the President included the
establishment OF a three years truce
subject to the enforcement OF the
mining and labor laws OF Colorado,
the return TO work OF miners who had
not been convicted OF law violations.

CROOKSTON, Minn., Aug. g.
Superintendent C. &. Selvig of the
State School Of Agriculture at Crooks
ton, returned last evening from a
200-mile automobile trip through
Polk, Red Lake, Pennington, kittson
and Marshall counties. He carefully
inspected the crops.
Never Before Such Crop.
II never before saw such a magni-
ficent crop throughout this territory
as ! have seen this year," he SAID.
without any question the barley crop
is going to be bumper. The corn
crop is fine, and the increasing acre
age is going to make crop of ire
mendous value throughout the valley.
The wonderful corn weather we have
had the past two weeks has brought
the corn on rapidly, and there will be
an immense amount Of high-grade
seed corn this year in this section, to
say nothing Of the abundance of corn
fodder.
Wheat Almost Ripe; Safe From Rust
I'm Marshall county, near Argyle
and Stephen, / inspected some naagni-
ficent wheat fields, which are just
about ripe, and can safely say that
there is practically no damage from
rust in these fields. Some of the
wheat fields not so far along may be
damaged by rust, but no one can
state at this time to what extent.
"The increase in alfalfa acreage is
encouraging, and am glad to state
that it is all doing splendidly. The
clover and timothy crops were also q
big success this year, and are now
cut and in the stack"

Omaha Station Operator Is Tied to

HUDSON, Wis.,, Aug. g. James
Cosgrove, night operator at the Oma-

held up by three armed and masked
men at $3.50 a. m. today and was
robbed of Silt.
Cosgrove was surprised at his desk
and tied to chair, while the robbers
rifled the cash drawer and safe. The
bandits made their escape across the
drawbridge to the Minnesota side of
Lake St. Croix, and fled toward Still
water. Posses from Hudson and Still
water are searching for them. One
robber was about 40 years old. The
others were much younger.
