A special to the Ledger from Port Angeles says: At 10:30 o'clock tonight word was received here that the United States lightship No. 67 was- being towed up the straits in a helpless condition with several mangled corpses and several scalded men aboard, the result of a boiler explosion.

It Is surmised, as she was to be re leased, today on account of repairs, that the extra steam pressure necessary for tra'el had something to do with the accident. VICTORIA. B. C, July 17.

Carrie Bauer. Nellie Hatten and Ag nes McLaughlin, each aged about IS years, were rowing in tho vicinity of many bathers when Brooks and a com panion, who were in the water, ap proached, and, heedless of the protect of the young? women, climbed into the- boat.

Bathers, attracted by the plight of the screaming girls, swam to their rescue, and after a struggle brought the three ashore In a semi-conscious condition. Meanwhile Brooks and hip companion swam away, and the latter escaped. Brooks was less fortunate and. when he reached the shore, an infuriated mob that had witnessed his performance set 'upon him with umbrellas.and isticks and might have killed him but for the- timely inter vention of the police.

Dr. Hugo Ganz, cor respondent of the Frankfort Zc'ltung, has bad an interview with King Oscar, of Sweden, at Stockholm, during which hi? majesty said he admired tho way in which the Norwegians won to their side all the European publicists. "The wrong remains wrong," said the Xing, adding that the Norwegians had surprised him by the suddenness of their acta. King -Oscar denied that he had precipitated the crisis by declining to ac cept the resignation of the Norwegian Cabinet, for the Norwegians themselves bad declared that whoever' accepted a portfolio would cease to be a Norwegian. The correspondent remarked that he had heard only words of respect for tho King in Norway, to which his majesty re plied; "For my part. I "have forgiven the Nor wegians, and hope to God that the Swe dish people will also remain calm, for It would only be hanging a millstone about our necks to restore the union forcibly." The King also said that appointing a Swedish Prince to the' Norwegian throne would certainly bo the simplest solution of the difficulty, but the result would be distrust in Sweden or Norway. Every time public opinion either in Sweden or Norway was displeased with the sov ereign's acts the cry would be raised that "the son does this to please tho father." or "the father does this to please the son."

Roused from his dreams by a bail to the apparently drifting boat, the fisherman started to leap overboard to avoid the crash against the blunt bpws. On" the way down th .Columbia Sun day night the Sandhurst went tnrough more than one net which had been. ?pread across the channel.

The light between the fishermen and the pilots and captains of river steam ers on the net question seems more bit tor this year. It Is nothing unusual for a fisherman whose net has been cut in two by a bpat bound down, to go to Astoria, arm himself with' a shotgun and He in wait for the man at the wheel. So far no casualties hav oc curred, but more through good luck' than anything else. Nets are not allowed to be spread across the ship channel. The Greek at Taylor's Sands showed no light. Pilot Harry Emken was taking down the Sandhurst, and found several nets so laid that he had to choose between grounding the steamship and cutting the nets. The nets suffered. There was a trail of Greek and I tali in profanity along the Sandhurst's wake for miles. Too pilot nad Just missed several boats when the mute called bis attten ilon to a boat directly across the bow.

General Plet Cronje. the commander of the Boer forces at Pardeeburg and the main attraction of the great Boer War Spectacle which appeared In Charleston during the present year, has been very much pained by the criticisms of his descending from his glorious height as a soldier to the level of a showman. He protests that he is not a member of the military profession, that he fought as a patriot and not as a soldier, and after his people were defeated and he suffered imprisonment at St. Helena he returned to the Transvaal and found his country "black with cinders and stained with blood." He and his poor old wife were in the depths of despair. He was too old to follow his plough, too old to earn a living even if the opportunity had been offered, and too old to "strike another blow for our liberty." The Boers llid no country to oenslon them for thelrT serv ices, and when the chance came he, Join ed the Boer war exhibition with the bope that by taking part In it he might do something to "educate and Instruct the American people, who were our friends, and to teach them something of the no bility of the struggle and the Justice of our cause." The plea which Gen. Cronje makes In his own behalf is pitiful, and it will doubtless appeal to the heart of -those who have censured him for making mer chandise of his part In the struggle which ended in defeat. We have no wish to add anything to the distress of the great Boer fighter, but we would only say that his Is the first case we have ever known of a gallant patriot and soldier using the distinction which he gained by hard fighting on the field of battle as an at traction for a regularly organized war circus. The conditions In the Transvaal and the conditions of the Southern States of our country are entirely different, but for more than forty years the soldiers of the South who v. ere defeated in battle, and whose property was confiscated and whose homes were laid waste by the enemy, have struggled up into a posi tion of independence without the aid of any psnslon department, and without en listing In the service of any company ot showmen for the purpose of Illustrating how they fought In the field and how they have suffered in defeat.

START FROM WHIRLPOOL Equipped With Lifebelts, They Go Through Ttaging Water and Come Out Safely Glover Submerged In Eddy. NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y.. July 17. Carlisle D. Graham, ot this city, and William J. Glover. Jr.. ot Baltimore, successfully swam the lower rapids of the Niagara from the American side of the whirlpool to Lewiston this after noon. Tho distance of four miles was covered in 26 minutes by Glover The start was made at 4:02 P. M. from Flat Rock, which is on the American side. The swimmers did not venture in the upper rapids, where Captain Webb lost his life. Both men wore life-belts and inflated rubber rings around their necks. From the start Glover took the lead. He en tered the rapids a minute ahead of Graham. Until the Devil's Hole was reached the swift current and roaring rapids had the swimmers in their grasp. At that point a swirling eddy caught Glover and he was down nearly two minutes. - His life-belt saved him. Graham by this time had gained on Glover, and when the two men reached the end of the rapids. Just above tho suspension bridge at Lewiston. there was but little distance between them. Swimming in the swift, smooth cur rent was hard for Graham, but evi dently easy for Glover. At :2S o'clock Glover was pulled up on the dock at Lewiston. He was dressed and about 15 minutes later telling his story. Graham was taken to a hotel in a wagon and did not leave bed until late In the afternoon. Neither of the men was Injured. Graham had swum the lower rapids twice before. He is about 55 years of age, while Glover is 35 years old. STRANGE NEW DISCOVERY The Polecat, Long in Discstccm, at Last Comes Into Ills Own. Washington Pest. A happy inspiration is worth millions In these latter days, when the world Is striving to Increase, the output of luxu ries and to reduce their cost- Such an In spiration, passing through the brain of one Stephen Patton. a farmer living near Hattiesburg. Miss., bids fair to make him the John D. Rockefeller of the perfumery' trade of the world. Like ail great dis coveries, it Is perfectly simple, and every body will ask: "Why didn't some one think of that before?" The story of Mr. Patton's discovery Is told In a special dispatch to the Atlanta Constitution: For eeereral yean ilr. Pa Hon has been en Kaiced In the burin ess of raisins polecat on a awampy piece of cround adjacent to his farm, the pelts of tae' animals selllne' for .from 75 cents to ti.SO-eaca. according-to color. A few weeka aro Mr. Patton estab lished a cfhkken farm near.bla polecat fwaisp and a few daya later the fowl became "deathly sick. He commenced placing- coal oil" In their food, thinking they were afflicted with the pip. The next batch of egg gathered tasted lltfe coal oH. Mr. Patton then commenced reasoning' from came to effect, and wax seized with an Idea. He commenced feeding hU polecats oil of lavender, bergamot and orange Sewer. The new food had the desired result. It not only changed the nauseous odor of the polecat, but actually produced a powerful Land delightful perfume, and further experi ments have revealed the wonderful commer cial possibilities of the discovery. One drop of the Said emitted by the polj cats will produce a quart of perfume, and by careful selection of the food of the little animals Mr. Patton haa succeeded In produc ing three varieties of perfume. Not only do we rejoice in this discovery on-account of the cheapening of an Indis pensable article, but because tardy Jus tice is at last awarded to an humble but indefatigable animal. The polecat through all ages has been shunned through no fault of his own. He has been an object of contumely and ridicule, and it is not surprising that at times his patience has been sorely tried. An outcast, whose pres ence has always been noted but never welcomed; a social pariah, in spite of the fact that his disposition Is affectionate: his advances repulsed, his preference for human companionship derided wc say it is no wonder that he has sometimes in sisted upon being noticed. Every dog has his day. and the pole cat's Is here. Thanks to Mr. Patton's discovery, this really beautiful animal is to become the pet that he has always yearned to be. A living1 sachet bag. an animated perfume- retort, he will be found in every boudoir, responding delicately to variations in his diet as the chameleon reflects the variable colors of his environ ment. This, it appears to us. will be the most attractive result of Mr. Patton's dis covery. Naturally. Mr. Patton haa al ready laid plans for manufacturing per fumery on a gigantic scale, and he de serves the prosperity that will be his If he escapes the trusts. But many persons will prefer to purchase their own per fumery factory in the shape of a pretty, affectionate and faithful polecat. No doubt there will be cynics and scof fersthey are always with us. But as for us. we embrace the new discovery with enthusiasm, and Intend to acuqlre a busy little perfume plant before the price soars so high as to be beyond reach.

One afternoon, while Red Fox was hunting fleldmlce In a little meadowy pocket half way up the hillside, his eager nose caught scent of something' much more delicious and enticing in its savor than mice. It was a smell of. warmth and sweetness,, with a pun gent tang: and Instinct assured him confidently that anything with a smell, like ..that must be very good to eat. What instinct forgot to suggest, how ever, was that anything so delectable was likely to be expensive or hard to get. It is possible (though some say otherwise!) to expect too much of in stinct. Fieldmice utterly forgotten, his mouth watering with expectation, the young fox went sniffing hungrily over the turf, following tho vague allure ment hither and thither, till suddenly it steamed up hot and rich directly under his nose. A big black-and-yel-low bumblebee boomed heavily past his ears, but be was too busy to notice It, His slim pink tongue lolling out with eagerness, he fell to digging with all his might, heedless of the angry, squeaking buzz which straightway be gan under his paws. The turf over the little cluster ot comb was very thin. In a minute those busy paws had penetrated it. Greedily Red Fox thrust his nose Into the mass of bees and honey. One taste of the honey, cnchantingly sweet, he got. Then it seemed as if hot thorns were being hammered Into his nose. He Jumped backwards with a yelp ot pain and astonishment: and as he did so the bees came swarming about his eyes and ears, stinging furiously. He ran for his life, blindly, and plunged into the nearest clump of Juniper. It was the best thing he could do. for the stiff twigs brushed off those bees which were clinging to him, and the rest, like all of their kind, hated to take their delicate wings Into the tan gle of the branches. They hummed and buzzed angrily for a while outside the enemy's retreat, then boomed away to repair the damage to their dwelling. Within his shelter, meanwhile, the young fox had been grovelling with hot anguish, scratching up the cool fresh earth and buryfng his face Jn it. In a few minutes, finding this remedy in sufficient, he crept forth and slunk mis erably down to the brook, where he could rub his nose and eyes, his whole tormented head. In feed, in a chilly and healing mass of mud. There was no better remedy In existence for such a hurt as his,. and soon the fever of the stings was so far allayed that he re membered to go home. But he carried with him so strangely disfigured a countenance that the rest of the family regarded him with disapproval, and he felt himself an outcast. The Mischievous Woodcock. Westminster Gazette. No other bird makes a fool of man quite so often and so successfully as the woodcock. It can hardly be without some appreciation of his joke that he dashes down the length of a line of guns, almost knocking off the hat of each in turn, while the timid shooters who are not sure of their next-door neighbors throw themselves prone on the ground and pray that this may be the last wood cock In the covert, or In the world.
