Washington, Aug. 29.-Rear Admiral
Pond at San Domingo City cabled the
Navy Department tonight that the
srmored cruiser Memphis, swept on the
rocks by a heavy sea in the harbor
there to-day, would be a total loss.
Although il was expected all OH board
would be saved, more than twenty men
returning to the ship from shore leave
in a motor boat have been drowned.
The message follows:
Memphis driven ashore by heavy
sea, Santo Domingo City, west OF light
house. at 4:30 p. NJ. She is lying close
under bluff, has lines ashore and is get
ting crew Off. Heavy sea came up sud
denly and ship was unable to get up
steam in time to save herself. Twenty
men of liberty party drowned or way
back to ship. Castine (gunbost)
dragged close in, but did not strike and
got out to sea. No other casualties
known. Memphis will be total loss.
Expect to save everybody on board"
Admiral Benson explained that the
construction Of the Memphis is such
that she probably would withstand a
great amount of pounding, allowing
for rescue of those aboard. He said
he was puzzled over how the accident
occurred, since officers of the ship had
been warned early to-day of the APP
proach Of a tropical storm.
The Memphis was formerly the
armored cruiser Tennessee, her name
having been changed May 25 last.
Recently, the Memphis has been doing
duty in San Domingo waters in con
nection with the revolution in that
country.
She is a vessel of l4,50O tons and
$4,000 horsepower. Her complement is
$50 men. She is the flagship Of the
cruiser force Of the United States At
lantic fleet.

PRESIDENT HOPES
TO WIN CONGRESS
Believes He Will Get Most
of Laws He Asks to
Control Strikes.

From stan Correspondent OF The Tribune
Washington. Aug. 29.-Conhdence
was expressed by President Wilson to-
night that the legislation which he
asked of Congress to-day would be
rushed through the Senate in short
time. This hope he conided TO the
House leaders, and as result they
would probably wait, Speaker Clark
said later, until the Senate had com
pleted the legislation and sent 1t to
the House.
At the meeting of the House leaders
Chairman Adamson of the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce expressed strong opposition to
the fourth proposal of the President.
This is the one providing for explicit
approval by Congres. of me conslders-
tion by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of an increase Of freight rates
TO compensate the railroads for the in
crease in wages. Judge Adamson was
inclined to believe that the enactment
of the eight-hour day provision and
that providing for al arbitration COM
mission would be sufficient 10 meet the
problem for the present at least. The
judge does not think that any increase
in freight rates is necessary.

member of the minority who was pres
ent at to-night's conference, did not
commit himself to anything He as ked

Rev. James M. Henderson,. the new
minister at st. James A. M. E. church,
preached his first sermon last Sunday
morning and made very favorable
impression upon the large audience
that was present. He announced some
changes in the order of things that
will meet the hearty approval of a
majority of his congregation. Tomor-
row morning at 1920 his subject will
be "Our Burdens; in the evening at
1880 "The Prodigal Son." He promises
to begin his services promptly on time
and to close on time so the public will
govern itself accordingly, and get
there on time. For the present he is
the guest of Mesdames Black and
Crawford, but expects his mother, Mrs.
M. A. York, to arrive next week and
to then take up his residence at the
parsonage.
The Twentieth Century Entertain
ment, given under the auspices of
Households of Ruth, Nos. 553 and 1911,
G. U. O. of O. F., at Union Hall last
Wednesday was glorious success.
There was an immense crowd present
and all had good time. The chief
interest centered in the prize ticket
selling contest, which resulted as fol-
lows: The first prize, a $50 diamond
ring, was won by Mrs. H. Hart, the
milliner of Minneapolis, who brought
in $l01.70; the second prize, gold
watch bracelet, was awarded to Miss
Bertha Lewis, who brought in $52.85;
the third prize, a. gold necklace, was
given to Miss Theola Ridley, who
brought in $40. The managers, Messrs.
j. B. and J. E. Johnson, proved the
falsity of the assertion that there can
be too much Johnson" as they de-
livered the goods. Of course, they
were ably assisted by the members of
the splendid committee they had, each
one of which did her whole part.
One of the prettiest weddings of the
season was solemnized on last Satur-
day morning at St. Peter Claver
; Catholic church, when the marriage of
Miss Ida LOOMS to Mr.. Donald Brady
, OF Minneapolis was performed by Rev.
Father Theobald. The church was
beautifully decorated with palms, smi-
lax and white roses. The bride wore
a gown OF ivory satin combined with
tulle, taffeta and pearl trimmings. The
bridal bouquet was shower of roses
and lilies of the valley. Miss Helen
Brady, sister of the groom, was maid
OF honor and was effectively gowned
in pink crepe de chine. Mr.. Brady's
brother was best man. Following the
ceremony there was wedding break
fast at the home of the brides parents
for the two families and few friends.
A large reception was held in the eve
ming from six to nine, after which the
newly-weds left for the East on a short
trip. They will be at home in Mime

is employed as clerk in the postoffce.
