LOST IN BREAKERS
Fate of Thirty-two in the Nova
Scotia Wreck.
25 BODIES HAVE BEEN RECOVERED
Shore for Ten Mlle Strewn "With
Wreckage of Uall and Cnrjfo of
City of Blontlcfello.
YARMOUTH, N. S., JSov. 11. The shore
of this country for 10 mites east and
west Is strewn with the wreckage of
the hull and cargo of the steamer City
of ontIcello. which foundered Saturday
morning, and 26 bodies of victims of the
disaster have been recovered from the
Ilea, which is still raging with terrific
fury. Many people have assembled at
Rockvllie. near where the first body came
ashore, and numerous relatives of mem
bers of the crew, who nearly all belonged
to points on this coast, have arrived to
Identify the dead.
The bodies were arranged In a room In
the public hall, and the Coroner who
held the inquest gavja an opinion of ac
cidental drowning. All the bodies are
terribly battered.
The first body was found at daylight,
when the zinc lifeboat, which was sup
posed by the survivors of the first boat
to have been swamped, was discovered
on the shore. A few yards distant were
the bodies of Mr. Eidrldge, a passenger; ,
Second Engineer Poole: Mr. Fripp, a
traveler, of St. John, N. B.. and the
body of a seaman. All four had life belts
around them. At short Intervals along
the beaoh 11 more bodies were found,
making 15 discovered up to noon today.
They had all evidently come ashore in
the lifeboat, and were killed on striking
the beach, not one escaping. The re
mains so far identiflod, in addition to
the four enumerated above, are:
Captain T. M. Harding, the commander;
Second Officer N. M. Murphy, of Yar
mouth; Chief Steward N. Chopkins; Chiof
Engineer Charles Grieg; Second Engineer
Herbert Poole; Swen Johnson, quarter
master; Stanley Ringer, oiler; Robert
SNIckerson. deckhand; Levi Nlckerson,
waiter; Wlnne Vanenberg and his father,
Fred Vanenberg, both cooks; "Walter Cun
ningham, waiter; Austin Wlckens, waiter;
David Benham, deckhand; Harold Cope
land, deckhand: Elsie McDonald, passen
ger; Thomas C. Johnson, passenger; J.
C Fripp, passenger; O. W. Coleman, pas
senger; John Richmond, passenger; Ru
pert Olive, steward; Isaac H. Wilson, bag
gagemaster; one man unidentified.
The watches In the pockets of two of
the men stopped at 12:45 and 12:25 o'clock,
respectively.
The body of Captain Harding, of the
Monticello, was found at Picnic Point,
encircled with a life belt and fully
dressed. An unknown body, supposed to
be that of a traveler for a "Westorn boot
and shoe firm, has been found at the same
place with the bodies of Elsie McDon
ald and Second Officer Murphy, recov
ered yesterday.
Of the members of the crew whose bod
ies were secured, Copeland and Benham
were not known to be on board until
their bodies were identified. They were
not on the ship's articles, having joined
for the trip only. Several bodies are still
unidentified. One body was recognized
this evening as that of John Richmond,
of Essex, N. B., a traveler for a boot
and shoe firm. He was not before known
to have been a passenger. This swells
the known death roll to 32. Benham took
the place of "Whttemore, previously re
ported lost. Copeland was also a substi
tute, but for whom it is not known.
It is a coincidence that the ship Peter
Stewart was wrecked off this shore a
few yeara ago in the month of July, and
a boatload of men came In where the
!Montlcello's boat was found. Half of the
men ware dead before the boat touched
the land .and many believe the same is
true of those in the Monticello's boat.
The fury of the surf is appalling in this
region.
The body of O. N. Coleman, another
commercial traveler, who was not pre
viously known to have been on board
the Monticello, has been washed ashore
and identified. Ho represented a Hamil
ton. Ont., Jewelry firm, and carried sam
ples worth $63,000. One trunk has been,
found.
"Wreckage of all kinds litters the shore
boxes, barrels, pieces of ship's boats and
parts of the superstructure of the steam
er. James Ball, a merchant of Yarmouth,
Trho was supposed to have been on board,
Is safe, having missed the steamer in St.
John. Rupert Olive was crossing the bay
from St. John to Yarmouth to rejoin his
own steamer.
Chief Steward Hopkins, of the steamer
Yarmouth, perished, having taken his
brother's place for one trip Swen John
uon was taking Ellsha Cooke's place as
Quartermaster, and Fred Van Renenberg
was substituting as cook for his father.
The absentees were off tb vote at tho
elections, and to this circumstance they
owe their lives.
No trace of mors than three women
being on board the Monticello could be
found. They were given places in the
first boat. One of them, Stewardess Kate
Smith, is one of the survU ors, and she is
too ill to make a statement. Elsie Mc
Donald was drowned in the surf. Her
bodr has been recovered. The third
woman, named Lawrence, was colored.
Her body was seen in the breakers this
afternoon, but could not be reached.
Some difficulty has been encountered In
figuring out the total loss of life, as a
number of passengers Joined the Monti
cello at St. John without first registering
at the booking office. They bought their
tickets on board. A revised list of tho
members of the crew, prepared at the
head office of the Yarmouth Steamship
Company here, shows that the officers
and crew numbered 2S. The total num
ber of people -who were on board is now
placed at X. The four survivors are:
Captain Smith, a passenger; Third Officer
Fleming, Quartermaster "Wilson Cook
and Stewardess Smith. The three men
saved agree that the causa of tho disaster
Tras. briefly:
The steamer was pounded for hours by
ea and gale, sprang a leak and filled;
he became unmanageable, broke apart
and foundered. The sea Is not remem
bered to have been so heavy on this coast
for many years.

LAWS OF NEW DEPENDENCIES
Taft Commlulon earnestly at 'Work
In the Philippines.
Congress is likely to find a good deal to
do in the near future in framing positive
legislation for the dependencies, says a
Washington letter. Regret was felt in
some quarters that the Spooner bill, giv
ing legislative sanction to the government
of the Philippines, was not enacted at
the last session. This bill was general in
its scope, and would not have hampered
the President and his subordinates In
adopting such measures as they thought
proper. It would have given measures a
legislative sanction, which would be val
uable in respect to certain matters affect
ing contracts, franchises and the mone
tary standard. The commission of which
Judge Taft is the head has been given
legislative power, so far as it is within
the authority of the President to give
such power, and they are making laws
which are declared by those who have
examined them to be the best code ever
enacted in any country. The new civil
service system 1b in advance of that of
tho United States in the strictness of Its
requirements, the limited number of ex
emptions, and the fixing of an age limit
for merely clerical employment. In this
and other matters the commission has
the power of a benevolent despotism, in
not being required to consider popular
prejudices in deciding whether a given
reform shall be put in operation or not.
The chief weakness of the present system
is the absence of approval by Congress.
The matter of granting franchises has
not yet been taken up, and there may be
doubt whether important enterprises
would be undertaken by responsible busi
ness men with uncertainty hanging over
their heads, as to whether the privileges
granted by the commission might not be
revoked by Congress.
If the next Congress Is in sympathy
with the Administration important legis
lation regarding the dependencies can be
advanced without undue friction. It will
be hardly practicable to legislate much
regarding details at the short session
which begins in December next, although
it may be possible to pass some such gen
eral measure as the Spooner bllL An op
position Congress would cause a good
deal of trouble to the Administration In
the adoption of comprehensive policies,
and might tend to prolong the military
government of the President in the Phil
ippines through failure to agree upon in
telligent measures. The situation in
Porto Rico may not call for much new
legislation at once, although it Is consid
ered desirable in some quarters that the
reform of the fiscal system shall be taken
up In all the former Spanish dependent
cles. The relations of the United States
with Cuba are likely to call for consider
ation by Congress In some form, but what
shall be done will depend a good deal
upon the constitutional convention which
meets in Cuba this month. It Is not the
Intention of the officers of the United
States to throw obstacles In the way of
the Cuban revolutionary leaders in estab
lishing an Independent Cuba, but the time
may come when the interests of the
United States will demand some action
to prevent foreign complications. In any
case, the sanction of Congress will be re
quired for the withdrawal of the Amer
ican forces from the Island and the ter
mination of the government of the United
States In Havana. This can hardly occur
before the long session of the new Con
gress In the Summer of 1902, unless an ex
tra session is summoned next Summer
to doal with the probable demand of the
Cuban leaders for immediate independ
ence. The Government has been somewhat
slow thus far In dealing with the depend
encies because of the novelty of the prob
lems presented and the necessity of giv
ing them careful consideration. The re-
sl'fcfince to American authority in the
Philippines has naturally retarded legis
lation there, but the Taft Commission Is
now hard at work, and do not anticipate
much difficulty in establishing civil gov
ernment from time to time in the larger
towns. The new tariff, which has been
under consideration by a board of Army
officers at Manila, and later by the com
mission. Is expected at the War Depart
ment within a few weeks. It will b'
carefully scanned there, and some of the
proposed changes will probably be an
nounced for the consideration of the busi
ness community before the rates are offi
cially promulgated. American cannea
goods, provisions and machinery will be
given the benefit of low rates on their
entry into tho Island. The rates will be
uniform against imports from all nations,
but there Is little doubt that the United
States will absorb the bulk of the trade.
This tendency will be promoted if the cur
rency system of the Philippines can be
brought into a fixed relation to the Amer
ican gold standard, even if the Mexican
sller dollars continue to circulate as
token coins. Tho fiscal system, the cur
rency and the tariff need the sanction of
Congress to insure permanence, and leg
islation on these subjects will pave the
way for a sound law regarding railway
and industrial franchises, which will per
mit the Introduction of outside capital for
the speedy development of the islands,
A Mysterious Suicide.
ORLANDO. Fla., Nov. 1L Deputy Sher
iff Whldden has been called to Lake How
ell to Investigate the mysterious suicide
of George A. Hume, a wealthy orange
grower of that settlement. Hume left
his homo Friday morning In his usual
health and spirits for his orange grove
to look after the harvesting of his fruit.
He did not return to the house at noon
or at night A searching party found
his hat and vest on the ground near the
lake Just where a neighbor keeps his row
boat. The boat, with the oars inside, was
found at another part of the lake, with
every indication of having drifted there.
In the vest pocket was found a note
hastily written tvlth a pencil to his wife,
stating where she would find some legal
papers and giving Information about busi
ness matters. It closed by saying that all
he had he left to hsr. Up to tonight dili
gent search of the lake failed to find the
body.

SEARCH FOR MURDERER
CLEWS TO TUB IDENTITY OF THE
COLORADO FIEND.
He Is Said' to Bo a Known Colored
Man Arrests Made, Bat 3To
Proof Yet.
DENVER, Colo., Nov. 1L A special to
the News from Limon, Colo., says:
"Search for the murderer of Louise Frost
was continued today. The town was di
vided into districts and a search was
made of every house, barn and every
out-building in the place. The deputies
were divided into four squads, beginning
at the outskirts and Working towards the
center. Before the search was continued
20 minutes a squad in charge of Deputy
Elmer Bloss discovered the remains of a
fire where clothing had been burned.
Sheriffs Freeman and Goddard and Chief
of Police Henry, of Colorado Springs,
made a thorough examination of the
ashes and found the buttons to a coat,
pants and a suit of underclothing and
other evidence sufficient to recognize the
owner of the clothing, although his name
will not be made known until an ar
rest can be made. Later a pair of shoes
were found which showed bloodstains, al
though they had been covered over with
a coat of grease. Subsequently the offi
cers found a trail going to the place and
the shoes fitted the tracks exactly. The
same tracks were found coming toward
Limon, evidently at a run, and they ore
believed to havo been made by the same
shoes. By this the suspect Is believed to
have hidden In the lane in the afternoon,
as he cannot be accounted for at the time
of the murder, and then returned, chang
ed his clothes and joined In the search
with the others. He had left town when
this evidence was found, but the officers
have him located.
"Excitement is gradually subsiding and
it is thought that all suspects can be
kept at Hugo In safety and that no lynch
ing will occur unless positive evidence can
be secured or a confession extorted. Sher
iff Goddard, of El Paso County: Chief of
Police Henry, of Colorado Springs, and
Sheriff J. W. Freeman, are directing the
search. Tonight the force was aug
mented by Marshal Camp and a detective
from Greeley."
One of the three suspects arrested in
Denver today is named Porter, concerning
whom a special to the News from Limon
says:
"Young Porter, arrested in Denver, is
the colored man suspected of the deed.
He was laying off the afternoon of the
murder and hung around the barroom at
the Limon hotel until about 3 o'clock
Thursday. Two marbles found In the fire
were Identified by a boy who saw Porter
playing with them during the noon hour.
The clothes are undoubtedly those of
Porter. It is said that he has served a
term in the Reform School in Kansas for
assault before. Sheriff Freeman said to
night that Porter would be brought to
Hugo on tho first train."
Three negroes, who had worked with a
section gang ju3t previous to tho murder
of little Louise Frost several days ago,
were .arrested on suspicion here today.
A rigid "sweat box" examination failed
even to elicit a reply to the inquiry as to
their names. They are being held for fur
ther investigation.
FOUND NOT GUnTY.
Strong- Evidence Destroyed by Es
tablishment of nn Alibi.
ST. PAUL. Minn., Nov. lL-James Har
dy and Elmer Miller, who have been on
trial at Anoka for the murder of two
members of the Wise family, were today
found not guilty. Mrs. Wise and a young
son were killed on the night of May
27 last by shots fired through a window
while seated about a tablo In the farm
house. William Wise, her husband, and
an older boy, were badly wounded, and
nave not yet recovered from tho effects
of the wounds. Eliza Wise, aged 15, made
a confession alleging that Miller and
Hardy, w ho were said to be lovers of her
self and sister, had planned to get rid
of the old folks in order that tho girls
might inherit the form and a small sum of
money. On the trial of the two young
men, who are both under age, the Wise
sisters testified to tho alleged conspiracy
and the state presented in corroboratio'n
of their evidence the testimony of Alllo
Preston, who alleged that Hardy had pro
posed to him to join in the crime. Tho
defonso rested its case upon an alibi and
sought to discredit the testimony of the
Wise sisters and Preston by alleging that
they had been coached by detectives who
were working for, the large reward offered
by the state.
NOT TO BE PROSECUTED.
Insufficient Evidence to Convict ex
Soldier of Murder.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 1L County
Prosecutor Yates announces that he will
dismiss the celebrated case against James
Redmond, who Is charged with being one
of the principals in the murder of Emma
Schumacher, who was robbed and mur
dered by two men in a grocery store In
this city on tho night of December 8,
1897. This action is due to the lack of
evidence caused by the death of William
Handy, an old negro, who was the most
Important witness for the state, and at
whose house Redmond sought shelter the
night of the crime. Jack Kennedy, who
figured In several train robberies In thla
vicinity, was arrested with Redmond, but
Kennedy received a 17-year sentence to
the penitentiary for train robbery be
fore he could be tried for murder. Red
mond escaped, and after many daring ex
periences with Federal and state officers,
he was rearrested August 16, 1898, in the
Philippines, wr re he had served as a
private in an . lerican regiment. Dur
ing the Santiago campaign Redmond
served under Roosevelt in the Rough
Riders.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11. May Teresa Jo
sephine Schmidt shot and almost instant
ly killed her husband, Peter, late tonight
at their home. After the shooting, which
occurred in the parlor of the house,
Schmidt staggered cut through the front
door and fell dead in the yard. Mrs.
Schmidt made no attempt to escape, and
she admitted the shooting, but declared
that her husband had driven her to des
peration by his acts. For some time the
woman declares ho has been neglecting
her, was drinking heavily and paying at
tention to other women. When he entered

South Sea Whitebait.
Forest and Stream.
For a few days in each year, and al
ways in the month of September, the
South Sea people have & treat in the
Way of fish a small stream runner
smaller than the Thames whitebait and
better flavored.
The natural history of the fish is ob-
scure. It seems to be the fry of some fish,
for when taken many have the yelk -sac
still attached to them. The first that
is known of it is when schools appear In
the mouths of rivers. The river mouths
at all seasons of the tide seem fairly
alive with the multitudes of fish not an
Inch long, but all swimming and leaping
under impulse of the instinct to ascend
the freshwater streams. Then they are
caught simply by sinking a piece of cloth
in the water and lifting it by Its four
corners at once. A square of cloth six
feet each way will hold at an ordinary
draught half a bushel of the fish, which
the Samoans and many other islanders
know under the name "lnanga." During
the few days they are running they are
taken by millions without diminishing
the schools in the least. Enormous
numbers of them are known to pass up
tho streams, but once past the bar at the
river mouth they disappear from sight
and knowledge. Even in the height of
their return they are not seen in the
streams above the mouth, yet they are
never seen running back to sea. The run
lasts not for more than a week or ten
days In any one stream, and on the isl
and of Upolu seems to begin In tho east
ern streams earlier than in those down to
the wefit. Apia harbor has two stream
debouching Into It. Not more than halt
a mile separates the two, yet the school
begins to run In the Valslngano three
days before It makes Its appearance In
the Mullval, which lies to the westward.
In native cookery they are wrapped In
banana leaves and steamed for a short
time. But the catchers eat them raw
with great avidity.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 11. A chall-nge
will be sent by the Royal Canadian Yacht
Club to the Chicago Yacht Club for tho

BERLIN, Nov. 11. Germany bourses
were completely dominated last week by
the election of the United States and
Wall Street's interpretation of it. Finan
ciers here had been arguing that since
a reaction here was started In April by
tho .decline In stocks andjron prices in
the United States, so the election's effect
upon business would bo strongly felt
here. This view has been strikingly con
firmed. The large sales- In iron in the
United States last week attracted much
attention, causing unusual firmness. In
German Iron shares and also giving a
great Impetus to American railways. Fi
nanciers here express satisfaction with
the outcome of the election, interpreting
the result as favorable to the German
money market.
The Vosalsche Zeltung says:
"The immediate future of the European
markets depends upon whether America
will prolong the loans made to us or
will withdraw considerable sums from Its
balances. Should the latter result have
been caused through any doubt with re
spect to the financial policy of the United
States the German market particularly
would have experienced no slight strin
gency toward 1901. Mr. McKinley's re
election means for ug an avoidance of
panicky turns in the money market."
Heavy offerings of discounts In the- man
ufacturing centers carried tho private rate
yesterday to 4U per cent. The Rclchs
bank statement made an unfavorable im-i
presaion and the rise in money depressed
Imperial and Prussian funds, being rein
forced by the conviction that large Issues
of 3s will be made early next year.
Cologne's 21,000,000 4s will be subscribed
November 20 at 991$ and the Anatolian
Railway's stock November 15.
Contracts let here for rolled Iron by the
Prussian railways show prices ranging
from 25 to 30 per cent below last year's
figures. A French company secured a
contract for the Brunswick water-works
piping at 85 marks, as against 140 marks,
tho lowest German bid. Tho wire nail
syndicate has reduced production 40 per
cent, but this failed to influence the
Bourse, owing to the aqtlvlty of the
American market.
The statistics of nine months foreign
trade show Imports to the value of 4,082.
000,000 marks, or an increase of 24,000,000
marks. The export figures for the same
period are 3,252,Od0,00Q marks, or an In
crease of 153,000,000 marks.

a study of the various propositions for
the development of the commercial re

United States, but upholding the neces
sity of the unity of tho Latin family in

there was incompatibility between tho
present congress and the one that would

year for the purpose of discussing cus
toms duties among all the American na
tions. He expressed the hope that the
two congresses would result in benefit not
only to all the nations in the Western
Hemisphere, but to all humanity as well,
adding that universal blessings would
follow If compulsory arbitration for dif
ferences between nations should result.

PROGRESS INCREASES WANT
Methods of Production Must .Improve
as Civilisation Advances.
Engineering Magazine.
The excuse Is sometimes given that
measures which Increase the productive
capacity of the workman throw others out
of emptoyroont. This is the same old
charge that has always been brought
against labor-saving machines and meth
ods, and its absurdity has been proved
too often to receive much consideration
here. It should be well understood that
a certain amount of production Is neces
sary to maintain existence. That amount
varies in proportion to the lncreaso In
the population of the world, and the ad
vancement of civilization. As people be
come more civilized and enlightened their
wants are Increased; to meet the Increase
there must be a corresponding Improve
ment In the methods of production. Stop
that Improvement and you stop civiliza
tion. Nature, working through .the av
arice and ambition of man, supplies this
Improvement.
The time may come when all tabor may
be paid according to its productive ca
pacity. Theoretically, that Is the only
Just method of remuneration. It is plac
ing tho matter where It belongs, under
that Inexorable law of nature the sur
vival of the fittest. All development is
In that direction, and competition In man
ufacturing demands it. The observance
of this law does not require that the
weak should be left to suffer; but means
other than the restraint of the fittest
should be provided for their care.
A Near Vleiv of Dr. Holmes.
Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis In Scrlbner's.
, Physically he was a very small man,
holding himself stiffly erect his face In
Significant as his figure except for a long,
obstinate upper Up ("left to me," he said
one day, "by some Ill-conditioned great
grandmother"), and eyes full of a won
derful fire and sympathy. No one on
whom Dr. Holmes had once looked with
Interest over forgot the look or him. He
attracted all kinds of people as a brilliant,
excitable child would attract them. But
nobody, I suspect, ever succeeded In being
familiar with him.
Americans at that time seldom talked
of distinction of class or descent. You
were only truly patriotic If you had a la
borer for a grandfather and were glad of
It. But the autocrat was patrician enough
to represent the descent of a Dalmlo, with
2000 years of ancestry behind him. He
was the finest fruit of that Brahmin- or
der of New England which he first had
classified and christened. He had too keen
an appreciation of genius not to recognize
his own. He enjoyed his work as much
as his roost fervent admirers, and openly
enjoyed, too, their 'applause. I remember
one evening that he quoted one of his
poems, and I was forced stupidly to ac
knowledge that I did not know it. He
fairly jumped to the bookcases, took out
the volume and read the verses, standing
In the middle of the room, his voice
trembling, his whole body thrilling with
their meaning.
"Therel" he cried at the end, his eyes
flashing, "could anybody have said that
better? Ah-a!" with a long. Indrawn
breath of delight as he put the book back.
