Thrilling Story.
. San Francisco, April t23. "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 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

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.

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.- ' .'. . . , ' ' '

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

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 .
