DEATH LIST NOT CUT
Another Day of Searching on
Burned Ohio Steamer.
WRECK IS STILL SMOULDERING
Sixty-three Lowest Estimate of Loss
of Lite Injured All Recovering
Electric Wire Prohnbly
Started Blaze.
The Coroner's Inquest Into the burn
ing of the Ohio River steamer City of
Pittsburg brought out no new facts.
Only three bodies were recovered and
Identified yesterday. Most of those who
escaped have departed for home.
CAIRO. 111.. April 21. After searching
two days, the death roll of the burned
steamer City of Pittsburg has not been
reduced any from the first reports. Of
the 145 persons -who were on the boat
when It burned yesterday morning, a care
ful estimate today by those who were
aboard the steamer puts the loss of life
at 63 as the lowest, and the opinion of
jrome Is that the list will approximate 100.
Of this appalling death list only three
bodies have been recovered and Identified
up to a late hour tonight. All of the in
jured are being well cared for, and are
recovering. .All who escaped from the
burning boat without their effects have
been clothed and made comfortable, and
most of them have departed for home.
The books and valuables of the boat,
crew and passengers are still In the ruins.
The wreck is above water, and still smoul
dering tonight. Owing to the heated con
dition of the hull, search for those cre
mated in It has not been begun, and few
of the bodies of those who are drowned
have been recovered, owing to the swift
current at the scene of the disaster.
At the inquest today nothing was de
veloped as to the original cause or re
sponsibility for the disaster. Captain
Phillips testified that he could not account
for the origin of the fire unless an electric
wire had started it. He stated that so
far as he knew there were 56 lives lost.
The Coroner was advised of other bodies
being recovered at distances from this
city, but none of them has been Identified.

Reporter's Story.
C. M. Ellis, of the Telegram, and Fred
Connell. of this city, who were first on
the scene from Cairo yesterday, and sent
to Mayor Wright for aid, have been in
vestigating the disaster and reported as
follows:
"The City of Pittsburg, with a crew of
73 and a passenger list, which included
65 men, women and children, was on her
way from Cincinnati to Memphis. At 4:05
A. M., at tx point three miles above Turn
er's landing, fire was discovered in the
forward hatches. This was apparently
seen at about the same Instant by the
engineer on watch and the first mate,
Arthur Shrlver. The former directed a
deckhand to open a valve, which would
turn the water on, flooding the hold, when
the man exclaimed that the valve was
red-hot, Indicating that Its connection be
low was In contact with the flames. Mate
Shriver was going on watch, accompanied
by his wife, who had gotten aip early to
keep him company. Seeing-the flames and
realizing the gravity of the situation, he
rushed to the roof and shouted to Pilot
Harry Doss that the boat was on flre and
to run to the nearest shore with all speed.
Then he hurried back to the cabin and
aided in arousing the sleeping passengers.
The big bell was rung four times' In quick
succession, and then with one continued
clang spread the news of the dire ca.
lamity.
"By this time, brief though It was, the
forward part of the boat was in flames.
Pilot Doss remained bravely at his post
until the bow of the boat struck the bank.
Then he rang the bells for the engines to
stop. The texas beneath him was
blazing and he was enveloped In smoke.
He leaped from the pilot-house to the
texas, thence to the roof, made his
way to the wheelhouse, leaped Into the
river and swam ashore. Wesley Doss, his
aged father, and an bld-tlme pilot, who
was making a trip for pleasure, made his
way to the after guards, where he sprang
into the river, and, despite his age, swam
ashore in safety, but died a few minutes
later from exhaustion and excitement.
"The flames spread with such rapidity
that passengers had no time to dress, but
they rushed to .the guards and while many
sprang overboard to take their chance
between death by drowning or death by
burning, others were assisted Into a yawl
by Mate Shrlver and Sailor Ed B. Holly.
The latter had climbed one of the sup
ports that kept the yawl suspended, cut
the ropes and let the craft Into the water,
where women and children were placed
until it was full, and hurriedly taken
ashore, 14 persons at a time. Several trips
were made at the immediate risk of their
lives, until it was too late to aid further
in the rescue from the boats direct,-when
the men set themselves to the task of
saving these who were afloat in the river.
Quite a number were rescued a mile or
two below the wreck."
Captain J. "M. Phillips, ,master of the
boat helpless from cramp, floated ashore
on a feed-trough.
Captain Dana Scott, chief clerk, says
all the crew who were lost were good
swimmers, and he cannot account for
their los9.
Mr. and Mrs. Archer Allen, of Pitts
burg, were taken from the relief-boat
Kllgore, and brought to the Holliday Ho
tel, here. They are heartbroken over the
loss of their only child, and suffering
from wounds caused by wreckage strik
ing them. Their condition is most pitia
ble. Dr. W. L. Daugherty, with his wife
and baby, was en route from Marion, Ky.,
to Charleston. Mo. He placed a life-preserver
around his wife, another on him
self, and, taking the baby in his arms,
lowered himself to the water by a rope.
Then he held on until his wife followed,
and, with their baby clinging with her
arms around his neck, they started for
shore, but the swift current carried them
down nearly two miles before they were
rescued by people on the bank. The child
had In the meantime become exhausted
by the cold, and was unconscious. Her
grasp relaxed from her father's neck, and
he grasped her dress In his teeth and held
her above water. When rescued, he. too,
was nearly exhausted. The child was re
vived.. CHINESE IMMIGRANT LOSES
Supreme Court Holds Law Requir
ing: Certificates Still In Force.
.WASHINGTON, "April 2L The United
States Supreme Court today rendered a
decision In the case of the United States
vs. Lee Yen Tal, coming from the Court
of Appeals for the Second Circuit, sub
mitting the question as to whether the
12th section of the Congressional act of
18S2, requiring certificates from Chinamen
about to enter .the United States had
been abrogatedby the treaty of 1894, be
tween the United States and China. The
question was answered in the negative,
the law being held to be still in effect.
The Chinaman in this case entered the
State of New York from Canada In Oc
tober, 1900, and was Immediately appre
hended. Justice Harlan delivered the
opinion of the court, saying:
"A statute enacted by Congress ex
presses the will of the people of the
United States in the most solemn form.
If not repugnant to the Constitution, it
is made by that instrument a part of
the supreme law of the land, and should
never be held to be displaced by a treaty
subsequently concluded unless It Is Impos
sible for both to stand together and be
enforced. So far from, there being any
inconsistency between the statute and
treaty herein questioned, the 12th section
of the act of 1S82. as amended in 1SS4.
and continued In force for 10 years from
and after the passage of the act of 1S92,
Is in absolute harmony with the treaty,
and can be enforced without affecting
or imparlng any right secured by the
treaty. On the contrary, the enforcement
of that section, as amended, "will serve
to advance the purposes of the two
countries in respect of Chinese laborers
as avowed In the treaty of 1894. Despite
the Ingenious argument to the contrary,
we do not perceive any difficulty what
ever in reaching this conclusion after
carefully scrutinizing the treaty and
statute. A different conclusion would be
hostile to the objects which, as avowed
in the treaty, both the United States
and China desire to accomplish. This Is
so clearly manifest that argument cannot
make it more so."

DISCHARGEDlFROM CUSTODY
Man Who "Wan Charged With. Em
bezzlement of 840,000.'
SEATTLE, April 2L After a. long and
stubborn legal battle, fraught with in
ternational complications. General E.
Daniel was discharged by United States
Commissioner Kief er today. His case has
been before the Commissioner 25. times.
He has been under arrest since last Octo
ber. The Canadian Government through
Bernard Pelly, its Vice-Consul", the Arm of
Carstens Bros., and the defense were the
participants In a three-cornered fight.
Daniel was accused of embezzling $40,
000 from Chris Bartsch & Son. a Dawson
branch of Carstens Bros. He left Dawson
last September, arriving In this city In
October, when he was arrested. Imme
diately his attorney applied for a hear
ing on the merits of the case. The meat
company opposed this. The prosecution
had asked for extradition. Daniel's coun
sel claimed that the company was the real
prosecutor In the case, and that Its action
was taken with a view to collecting a
private debt. He vigorously fought for a
hearing and a discharge.

NATIONAL LEAGUE WINS
VALIDITY OP RESERVE CLAUSE
UPHELD BY COURT.
Decision In Case of Sccond-Unnemau
La Joye, Who Cult to Go Witli
American League.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2L The Su
preme Court today reversed the decision
of the Court of Common Pleas, No. 5,
In the case of Napoleon La Joie vs. the
Philadelphia National League Baseball
Club. This decision upholds the validity
of the reserve clause in "National League
contracts.
La Joie, who formerly played second
base, .for the National League club In this
-cltv, signed with the Philadelphia Amer
ican League club for the season of 1901-02.
The Philadelphia baseball club, through
John L Rogers, entered suit to restrain
La Joie from playing with the American
League. The lower court held that the
reserve clause was Illegal, and Colonel
Rogers carried the case to the Supreme
Court, where the decision was reversed.

WHO WILL BE CHAIRMAN OF THE DE.MOCRATIC NATIONAL CON
GRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN C031MITTEE.
Benjamin T. Cable was "burn 1 n Georgetown, Ky.. in 1853; graduated at the
University of Michigan In 1872. He became a manufacturer In Rock Island, 111.;
was sent as a delecate to the De mocratlc National Convention in 1S84, and was
elected to Congress In 1891. He d ecllncd a second nomination. In 189G he was
one of the organizers of the National Gold Democratic party, but returned to the
regular ranks of the party in 1893. i
If this decision stands it will affect all
players who were subject to the reserve
clause and who are now playing with the
American League.
The case attracted widespread attention
by the question of the validity of the "re
serve clause'' in National League cqn
fracts. The lower court decided that the
National League contracts were lacking
In mutuality, and therefore oppressive to
players who desired to sign other con
tracts. The lower court's decision bore
especially on the "10 days' release notice"
clause, and today's decision is in effect
that this clause is equitable. In rendering
the decision the Supreme Court says:
"Upon a careful consideration of the
whole case we are of the opinion that
the provisions of the contract are rea
sonable, and that the consideration is fully
adequate. The evidence shows no indica
tions of any attempt at overreaching or
unfairness. Substantial justice between
the parties requires that the court should
restrain the defendant from playing with
any other club during the term of his
contract with the plaintiff."
Manager Shettsline, of the Philadelphia
National League club, said today:
"It is probable that all National League
players now playing with the American
League will be ordered to report to the
National League grounds, and in the ei'ent
of their failing to do so, suits will be
brought in the cities In which they are
now playing, asking for an injunction re
straining them from taking part In Amer
ican League games.'

factory and spread rapidly to the other
side of the street, the winds fanning
the flames and the burning embers fall
ing in all directions. Three hundred
firemen and 40 engines were engaged at

300 DAYS FROM CARDIFF.

for Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21. The French
bark Oliver de Cllsson, long ago given
up for lost, arrived here tonight, 300 days
from Cardiff, with a cargo of coal. The
average length of the voyage is 135 days,
and as the bark had not been heard from
since she was obliged to put Into Cayenne
with a mutinous crew last August, sea
faring men were greatly surprised when
she appeared off the Golden Gate. Cap
tain Bernard reports that after leaving
Cayenne he was delayed by head winds
and adverse ocean currents. The stores
ran low, three men died of scurvy, and
the others are now affected with the
same disease. The troublesome sailors
were subdued, and otherwise the long trip
was uneventful.

Miss Shippe was the daughter of a
well-to-do farmer, attractive in appear
ance and educated, and bore an excellent
reputation. Pier father lives near Ma
coupin. During the last year she had
been employed in a silk mill at Wanaque
and made her home with frlende of her
family there. She went very little into
the society of the village, and passed most
of her leisure time riding her
bicycle over the country roads.
After one of these rides she complained
of illness, and finally, on her death bed,
said she had taken a drink of root beer
at a roadhouse with a young man, whom
she declared she had met on the road
for the first time. There are several road
houses in the vicinity, but no degree of
questioning could induce her to tell which
place she visited or anything more about
the identity of the man. She died In
great agony.
DISEASES
CONTRACTED DISORDERS
To hut partially cure contracted disease
is almost as dangerous as to allow it to
go untreated. Unless every particle of In
fection and Inflammation is removed, the
probability exists that the disease will
gradually work Us way Into the general
system. Still greater Is the danger oC the
Prostate Gland becoming chronically in
flamed, which always brings partial or
complete loss of power. Perhaps 25 per
cent of the cases of so-called "weakness"
are a direct result of some Improperly
treated contracted disease. During the
past five years we have treated over 6300
cases of contracted disorders, and have
effected an absolutely thorough and safe
cure In each Instance. There have been
no relapses or undesirable developments
whatever, and our patients have been
cured .n leas time than other and less
thorough forms of treatment require In
producing even doubtful results.
