"It. was about 9 o'clock at night when I felt and heard the Los Angeles strike a rock, and then came two or three- thuds," said H. L. Savage, of Stayton, Or. "Most of the people on board were in bed. I was myself, but. arose and dressed myself quietly.'. Many of the-others were' panic stricken. It ' seemed to me that about half an hour elapsed before the vessel ; sank. There, were four boats, and a raft made of two cylinders and a double rack between them . It rode well , bat was far from being an ' agreeable' abiding place.' There were five or six of us oir board, and just as we pushed off the Los Ange les went down. About 15 persons were left on board the steamer, who clang to the masts and rigging that were alone above water. They were the captain and other members, of .the crew, and some of the passengers. ; After we had pushed off, I picked np a fireman-named James Burns, who had been in the water for an hour or more. We were close to Point Sur lighthouse and could see t plainly. There was no fog. The steamer was a mile out of her course. We kept away from the rocks with great difficulty by the use of three oars until after mid night. Then we saw the lights of the Eureka. - They would appear, then dis appear, appear again, and the suspense was most terrible, but she finally came near to us. A line of kelp or Bea weed kept ns away and we had to work hard on our raft to reach the Eureka and be rescued. One boat bad been picked up before this, and at about 6 o'clock in the morning another was cared for. : The other two boats landed on the beach." THE I'UESIDKJiT TBOCBLKD. The Advent -of the Commonweal Army i The Cause. Washington, April 23. President Cleveland is greatly disturbed -over the ' coming of Coxey's commonweal army and has sought. advice on the subject - from members of bis cabinet, prominent congressmen and others in authority. Yesterday be had a long conference in the White House with the chief of police, Major Moore, and, acting upon the ad vice of those whom he has consulted. r the president has practically decided to issue a Bemi-official proclamation ad monishing ail persons who contemplate . visiting the national capital that they mngt respect the laws and conduct them' . selves in a peaceful and respectful man ner or suffer the Consequences. The ex. ecuuve warning win probably be given out as a general statement through the : press associations under "the guise of an i interview with the president or one ''of the officials of the administration. The '' president has been informed that there are numerous precedents for such action. and, after studying the circumstances of the commonweal movement, he is con : vinced that a note of earning to all per- .. sons who are disposed to visit Washing The illness ot Senator ' Simpson of Kansas has assumed an . alarming phase. ' The governor of Minnesota is endeavor ing to promote a conference between President Hill and the strikers, leading to arbitration. ' The commissioners of the District of Columbia have warned the Coxey army that it cannot and will not care for them, and that begging on the streets is an offense. . ' .. The senate, by a vote of 26 to 17, re fused to take up Pefler's Coxey army bill. George' Francis Train has hired a hall in Washington and says he will re ceive the several chiefs and listen.- to what they have to say. .. ' A prominent, operator, said in referr ing to eastern coal strikes : "The strike is not against a reduction of wages, but is simply and solely for the purpose of keeping the officers of the miners' national organization in office. Things have been quiet so long that the work ing miners are kicking against paying the big salaries of the general officers for doing nothing. AI-MOST DRAGGilD UNDER. AdTeDcnret of a Seal llnut in an Eskimo . Kaiak. The author of "Eskimo Life" de scribes a day's hunt, when the men of the village put out to sea, each in his cranky little kaiak, after seals, auks, fish,or whatever other game might pre sent itself. Tobias began by chasing a seal which dived and did not come up again within sight, but the man is one of the best hunters of the village, as the reader may judge .by. what, fol lows. . lie had sighted another seal, and was skimming over the sea toward it, when the huge head of a hooded seal popped up right in front of the kaiair, ana "was narpooncd in. an in stant. ' ,lt makes a frightful wallowing1 and dives, the harpoon line whirls out, but suddenly gets fouled under the throw-ing-stick.of the bird-dart... The bow' of the kaiak is drawn under with an irre sistible rush, and before Tobias knows where he is the water is uj to his armpits, 'and nothing can be seen of him but his head an shoulders and the stern of the kaiak, which sticks right up into the air. - It looks as if it were all over with him. Those who are nearest: paddle with all their might to his assistance, but with scant hope of arriving in time to save him. ."",'.' . . ' Tobias, however, -is a first-rate kaiak man. In spite of his difficult position he keeps noon even keel while he is dragged through the water by the seal, which does all it can to get him entire ly under. At last it comes up again, and in a moment he has seized his lance, and, with deadly aim," has pierced the seal through the head. A feeble movement and" it is dead. ; . ' The other men come up in time to find Tobias busy making his "booty fast, and ; to get .'the 'piece of blubber to which each is entitled. ..They cannot restrain their 'admiration for his cool ness and skill, and speak of it long afterward.- ' .'. . . , ' ' ' A New. -N Shortening ' Mrs. Austen, a sister of Cardinal Manning and a great : favorite witlj him, died in England recently at the age of ninety-three.

WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. . . Washington, April 20, 1894'. Mr. Cleveland s physical courage is not, it seems, equal to his mental obsti nacy. He intended to move his family to his suburban residence this week, but the news of the approach of the several branches of Coxey's army . frightened him so that he changed his mind, and it is said, that he is now seriously think ing of Bending Mrs. Cleveland and the children away from Washington before Coxey 'a army arrives. A facetious antl .Cleveland democratic senator said today "I suppose Cleveland is afraid that he might be seized and held as a hostage by Coxey to compel congress to grant his ridiculous demand." '. The democrats obtained control of the Fifty-Becond congress largely through misrepresentations of the appropriations made by the Fifty-first congress and of the "Reed rules of the house." The ap propriations of the Fifty-second congress exceeded those of the Fifty-first and those of the present . congress promise to do likewise, and now the democrats of the house have -adopted the quorum count ing rule for which they so long abused Mr. Reed and the republicans. . In view of these facta it will be a long' time before the -: democrats - will ' carry another election by - misrepresenta tions. : . In the language , of slangdom, the people are "onto" them. - The re publicans of the house have been very considerate of the feelings of the dem ocrats while they have been eating their dish of crow. V It is glory enough for the republicans that their ideas have had to be adopted by r the democrats of the house, and they are perfectly willing to leave it to the intelligent voters of the country to settle with the democrats for giving "the ie to. all. of their previous statements about ; the "outrageous" and "nnconetitntiotial" counting of quorum.'" ! , ." Senator .Lodge, of Massachusetts, is one of thoheATho believe that England never does anything, that -promises to benefit the United States' unless driven into it by self-interest. He proposes by means of an amendment .to the tariff bill, of which he gave formal notice this week, to place discriminating duties on all products'and manufactures of Great Britain and her colonies, the same to re main in force until Great Britain shall enter into an agreement with the United States And other nations fox the coinage and use . of silver as money. This amendment; if adopted, will leave the McKinley duty on : Australian wool double the duty on everything dutiable from Great Britain and all her colonies and put a duty" of 35 per cent on such articles from them as are on the free list. How the lion would bar should the senate vote with Mr. Lodge. . A , While Senator Smith's speech did net create as great a sensation as that of Senator Hill it served to emphasise the positions occupied towards the tariff bill by the free trade democratic senators and the so-called "conservative" demo cratic senators, of whom Senator Smith For Boys, Ages from 6 to 14 Years.

Call and See Them. A. M. WILLIAMS. & GO. is one. It also contained some very plain language ; the following" for in stance: "Party ties grow weak when they make disregard of one's "own con victions arid disloyalty to one's own people the test of fealty. This bill avow edly taxes one man for the private bene fit of another man. That is why I op pose this ' infamous, proposition today, and shall continue to oppose it until such time as it shall either be forced upon us by sheer weight of numbers, or we shall be forced by returning reason from .the gravest danger which has con- fronted the democratic party since the days of Buchanan. We should ask our selves whether this bill, as it stands to day, can be passed by democratic votes. It is a time for plain speaking, and I do not hesitate- to express my own convic tions that this is impossible." He closed with this appeal : "Eliminate the socia listic income fax reform the schedules to conform with the doctrine of a tariff for revenue; grant to our industries suffi cient protection to guarantee their main tenance on the basis of American wages, and before this month shall have ended tariff reform will cease to be the will-o'-the-wisp it is today, and will be enacted by the united voices of forty-four demo cratic senators into the law of the land. Refuse to do - that, then God save the democratic party." " ' ' - The policy of the administration as to pensions is to keep the number of new pensions allowed down to the number of deaths arid suspensions so that the total number on the. pension roll shall not be increased. How is that for . just treatment of applicants for pensions? " Senator sfePherson, of New Jersey, in announcing that be would vote for' the tariff bill as a' party measure, although personally opposed to it, said: "I can not see any hope for our party in my state next November-" v . :-.". - - .
