the undivided support of the radical
party OF the canton of Ticino The
young magistrate assumed from the
beginning the responsible burden of
the federal finances. and it is also in
teresting to note that he is the first
representative from Italian Switzer-
land on whom the high honor of chief
| executive of the country has been be-
slowed.
The federal assembly, which is
formed by the union of the national
council and the council of states is
the supreme authority in Switzerland.
While the national council consists of
deputies elected for three years by
each canton, in the proportion of one
lor each 2o,ooo inhabitants, the coun-
Gil of states consists of forty-four rep
resentatiyes of the cantonal govern
.lents, two for each canton and one
for each half canton. The manner of
their election, the duration of their Of
fee and the conditions for their eli
gibility are decided by the cantonal
laws
The executive power is intrusted to
the federal council, whose seven mem

During the night the McCulloch took
aboard the crews of the Bonita and of
the Fort Point life-saving station. The
Bonita station power boat, in charge
of Keeper Nutter, towed the disabled
power boat of the Fort Point station
alongside about o'clock. The keeper
of the Fort Point station and one surf
man had been washed away in efforts
to succor the Hanalei, and were then
supposed to have been lost.
Both life-saving crews had been ex-
hausted in the effort to aid the Hama
lei. Keeper Nutter informed Capt
Alger that the life-savers had sighted
the wreck close inshore, but had been
unable to get near on account of heavy
breakers and rocks outside. 1t was
agreed that nothing more could be
done until daybreak.
Activities on shore were di5cerned
during the night. Bonfires were to be
seen and guns could be heard, indicative
of efforts to get lines to the wreck by
which to rig breeches buoy.
The power lifeboats were made ready
for use, while awaiting daylight Of
ficers and members of the crew Of the
McCulloch volunteered with the life
boats to take the place of absent life
savers and to take charge of the ope-
rations.
At daylight the wreck was visible,
broken in pieces, on shore. Off shore,

Mayo's original demand, made public

government to return the salute as the
United States would be saluting the

It appears that the future course of
