FOUR OF THE CREW DROWNED One Miner Taken Ont Dead and Bereral Injured--Another Fight Orer the -' Breckinridge Campaign. Niw Yobk, Sept. 11. The steamer Portia, from Halifax, reports that in a dense fog yesterday she ran into and sank the three-masled schooner Dora M. Fanch, foor miles fromCuddyhunk light. Four of the schooners crew of five were drowned. The steamer was running at full speed, blowing a whistle. She struck the sailing veBsel just forward of the foremast and cut her in two. A boat was quickly lowered by the steamer and Jeremiah Murphy, of New York, mate of the loBt vessel, was picked up. By a strange fatality Dr. Cooke and seven members of the ill-starred Arctic expedition were ou board of the Portia. This is the third serious marine disaster in which they have had a part within two months. The Portia was a sister ship to the lost Miranda, on which the Cooke party sailed for the Northern seas, and which was sunk in the ice. An Electric Lineman's Perils. Djstboit, Mich., Sept. 11. On Wood ward avenue right in front of the cily hall, just before noon yesterday, away up 150 feet in the air at the top of an electric tower, lay a man rigid and help less, his feet tangled in the meshes of wire, his head hanging downward. He was ft trimmer and had gone up there to fix the lamps, when he graBped a live wire and became unconscious. A crowd of 5000 persons saw him and expected every miuute that, his feet would slip and that he would fall. His name was 5f rjderick French, and there in the air he hung until, his partner, George Wide man, joined the crowd and saw him. TJp the slim eupports of the tower went Wideman, hand over hand, to the pros trate man, whom he grabbed and tried to lay on the tower. But French was like a madman.' He was frothing at the mouth and the two men away up in the air began a struggle which looked as if it might end by one or both of them com ing to the ground. French endeavored to bite Wideman and once nearly threw him over, but Wideman finally got a piece of rope over French's neck and choked him into insensibility. Then he put him in a basket by which French made the ascent, and lowered him to within a few feet of the ground, where others helped him, and French was taken to the hospital. He was crazy from the shock. The doctors say he will recover. The Island of Lombok War. San Francisco, Sept. 11. D. T. Ti mons, a graduate of Cambridge, Eng land, who has been traveling for the past eight months, arrived here from Batavia, Java, yeeterday, in company with several friends. He says there is a violent insurrection of natives on the island Lombok against the Dutch rulers The native island king has joined forces with the natives and unitedly they are doing all they can to throw off the Dutch yoke. War is in actual progress. How many have been killed on each Bide is not known, but in the last engagement the Dutch forces were repelled. In Ba tavia there was great excitement, "Everybody expected," said Timons, "that the revolution would spread, and it was thought the war might be long and bloody. A month ago when I was there communication waB almost en irely cut off. The reason for this was that the Dutch government had seized all the steamers and sailing vessels and pressed them into service. ' There was a ingle ' French - steamer running, and on this I managed to get away. The Dutch were then collecting all their forces and forwarding them to the island as fast as possible. Up to the time I left Batavia they had sent 6.000- from that ' tvnrt T4e island is large and contains rich tin mines.

Gov't Report -1 isa The Wooten Case A grain. Fbesno, Sept. 11. A beginning has been made in the search for Wooten's body. Detective A. B. Lawson, who conducted the search last spring, is here again from Los Angeles. , He will work in conjunction with Sheriff Scott.' It is said that they have clews which may lead to the discovery of the body, but they are keeping their plana secret for the present. The water is now out of nearly all the canals, and the deep ponds which afforded such . obstacles to the search early in the season are now nearly dry. Wooten's neighbors wili soon be gin searching them for the body, which they believe is buried in the mud some place between Reedley and the foothills. War Mews Hard to Get. - Yokohama, Sept. 11. The mika lo and several of his ministers will go Thursday night to Hireachima, the em barking place of the Japanese troops sent to Cores. The headquarters of the mikado will be transferred .to Hiros chima after that date. Authentic news of the war cannot be obtained. The native press is subject to censorship and reporters of foreign papers are not al lowed to approach the seat of war. It is also impossible to transmit private advices in regard to the warlike opera tions, as the telegraph . lines and mail routes are controlled by the government. Attacks of Natives Repulsed. Zanzibar, Sept. 11. Mr. Beasley and Rev. Mr. Firminger, whoy reached Darnes, Salaam,- German, East Africa, in a dhow from Kilwasland, off that coast, September 9th, have arrived here and report that the governor's house at Kilwa was attacked by 2,000 natives armed with flintlock rifles, on Septem ber 7th. The fight lasted two hours. One Soudanese soldier was killed, and one German wounded. When Messrs. Beasley and Firminger left the island, a renewal of the attack was expected. A Decision by Cacllsle. Washington, Sept. 11. Secretary Carlisle in a letter addressed to Senator Caffery of Louisiana, officially decided that under the new tariff law it will be unlawful to appoint inspectors, weigh ers and testers of bounty sugars under the McKinley act, and farther, that congress having made no appropriation for the employment of such officials, the laws of the United States prohibit the employment of such persons to serve without pay.

Upsetting the customs, hab its, and prejudices of cen turies? Yes, all this and more. Cottolene is a new cooking product it is bet ter than lard or butter for cooking, so say such noted housekeepers as Marion Harland, Catharine Owen. Christine Terhuna Harriett, Emma P. Ewlng, Mrs. S. T. Rorer, -. Mrs.. F. A. Benson, Amy Barnes, Margaret W later, and many others; it is healthier so says every thoughtful physician; and it is cheaper as every house-, keeper knows when she finds that one-half the quan tity answers every purpose. S0TTO is the purest clarified cot tonseed oil mixed with pure beef fat. It is the best cook ing material ever devised for frying anything and everything easily digested and highly nutritious. Beware of imitations. Ask your grocer for the genuine Cottolene. Mask bt N. K. FAIRBANK & CO., ST. LOUIS and CHICAGO, NEW YORK, BOSTON A GREAT JUMPER. George Washington Would Be a Cbem- . plon Nowadays. There is an athletic record which, though it will not be found in any of the sporting gmides or almanacs of to day, is one of which every American ought to be proud. It was made by George Washington, the father of his country, in the running broad jump. The distance cleared was twenty-two feet three inches, says the Boston Her ald. Exactly when, and where, and under what conditions Washington did this performance I do not know. Thackeray refers to it in ."The Vir ginians," where he tells of the jump ing match between Harry Warring-ton and Lord March and Ruglen. Harry wins with a ' jump of twentyrone feet three inches .against his lordship's eighteen feet six inches. In his letter to Virginia Harry says he knew there was another in Virginia, Col. Q. Wash ington, who could clear a foot more. . If Thackeray's figures are correct Washington must have been a wonder ful athlete. He could easily have won any intercollegiate championship com petition up to 1889 and most of the na tional championships. Then, too, it must be remembered that .the future father of his country did not wear spiked shoes like the athletes of - to day, nor did he liave a cinder path ior his "run," nor a five-inch plank for his 4 take-off, those improvements not having come into general use as early as the middle of the eighteenth cen tury. Washington to-day would be a record breaker. TURKEY'S MUSCULAR RULER. Abdul Htmld Firmly Convinced That He Is . . Destined to Kelgn Forty Tears. The seventeenth anniversary of the accession of the sultan of Turkey to the throne has recently been celebrated in Constantinople. Abdul Hamid is said to be a man of great muscular strength, and it is asserted by the New York Tribune that, although small and slight of . build, be is powerful enough to over come the strongest of his janissaries in a trial of personal strength. He owes this to his regularity of life, the ob servance of the laws of health and his passion for gymnastics. He is devoted to carpentry, and his palace is furnished with a workshop in which there are many artisans, whose work is directed by the sultan himself. , A considerable proportion of the furniture of the royal residence has been made from his de signs, and in many cases executed by himself. Abdul Hamid has a firm con viction that he will reign for forty years, and this belief has banished all fear of disease and danger from his mind. He, however, dreads the cholera, because a dervish, once proph esied that he would die of cholera morbus. This has been a source of great benefit to his subjects, as every effort is made to prevent the spread of cholera, owing to the sultan's desire to escape being attacked by it.
