LACK IF POWER
 CAUSED LOSS

Captain W. o. Kohlmister, of the schooner Harold Blekum, who is here with Mrs. Kohlmister and the crew, enroute to Juneau, following the wreck at Kodiak.
 In describing the wreck, accord ing to the Seward Gateway, the cap tain said that he was caught on lee shore in heavy weather but man. aged to hold his schooner off the beach through two days and nights in site of the loss of both anchors.
 Then when We were clear of the coast, the wind died out con- pletelT and in spite of alive could do, lacking power of any kind, we drifted on the reef off Eagle har- bor.
 Seeing that the vessel was doomed l put the ships boat over side and we left her at midnight, March 8, and rowed ashore, and sent three of the crew over the portage, intending to remain until assistance came, but was so cold that on Monday morning Mrs. Kohl mister, who did not have sufficient clothing suggested that we follow the sailors, so We made the trip overland in eight hours to the fish ing station.
 "The vessel was lost because we lacked auxiliary power"
 The wrecked schooner was built S4 years ago.
 Captain Kohlmister was quarter master aboard the Admiral Evans several years ago when two of the crew committed piracy by killing Captain Wood and attempting to run her ashore. Kohlmister was at the wheel at the time and help ed to block the attempt.
 Mrs. Kohlmister is in good health in spite of the hardships she has experienced.

ThSsbaW, Indian King, Ruled
 by Terror.
WOMAN'S EVIL INFLUENCE

Completely Governing Hln, She Was
 lnstiaator of MRehlnatiens Which Led
 to His Enthronemsnt--ROlen of Ter
 TOT Followed Until Ruler WRO ExIisd
 by British.
 The recent death ot Theebaw, once all Indian king, recalls memories Of the 1 horrors of his rule and the overthrow Of his dynasty and the British annex ation of upper Burmah thirty-one yearS ago, says the London Times. He was one of the junior members of large family of sons and daughters of King AIindoon, who ruled Ava despodcally but on the whole prosperously for tweuty-six years. After undergoing the usual novitiate in Buddhist mon astery he became, with three of bis brothers, a pupil of the late pr. J. R. Marks, who built a school and church at Mandalay almost entirely at the cost of the king. Dr. Marks often tes- titled to the engaging and kindly quail ties and bookish tastes of the youth, who soon afterward under the influ- ence of woman allowed terrible atroc- ities to be committed.
 Rivals cIubbed to Death.
 When King Mmdoon was dying, at the close of 1878, the queen of the Mid dle palace determined to assure success sion to Theebaw, who was In love with her daughter, Supaya-Lat, and bis weakness of character insured for her great power. He gained by various stratagems the support of ministers, and all possible rivals to the throne, who were summoned to visit the dying king. were imprisoned. Theebaw WAS declared the successor, and within Ave months of his succession he had his captive brothers and sisters clubbed to death. They were thrown-some of them-when still only stunned by the blows of the executioners into huge trench. which was covered with earth and afterward trampled level by ele- plants.
 Supaya-Lat busted her eldest sister from the position of chief queen and by virtue of stronger will completely dominated the king. The rapacity of the court set the example to the whole hierarchy of officials; extreme disorder prevailed throughout the country; dip lomatic relations with Great Britain were broken of, and ultimately, at the end of 1885, there was issued an ulti- matum, which was contemptuously treated by the king and his ministers
 Theebsw SurrSndsrS.
 An expedition was sent, and 1t swift ly fulfilled It's purpose. Nov. 2S, 1885, King Theebaw abjectly surrendered to the late General Harry Prendergast In vain be pleaded for three months, then three weeks, then for three days in which to prepare for exile; the gen eral, recognizing that delay of single moment might be dangerous, gave him and his chief queens, by whom he wss accompanied, only ten minutes to get ready to depart in a waiting steamer. He was afterward sent direct to Rat nagiri, on the Kolkan coast of western India. There the exiled king spent the last thirty years of his life in slothful contentment and ease. Queen Supaya- Lat retained her hold upon him until her death, and the last of his queens died some four and half years ago.
