Behed Shore In Safety Cunard
"Steamer Cephalonta Sank at
Holyhead.
Seattle, Jan. 1. The schooner El
wood, Captain E. Er Wyman, is a totaj
wreck in Alaska. It ia the worst story
of shipwreck to reach Seattle this year.
One sailor was drowned and the re
mainder of the crew only reached shore,
after one of the bravest fights against
the elements that has been recorded in
the annals ot the Northwest coast.
The steamship Topeka, arriving, this
foaenoon from the North, bronght the
first news of the disaster. Captain Wy
man and four sailors came down on the
Topeka, while the others remained in
Alaska.
The Elwood left Seattle September 11
for Kodiak and Cook's inlet. The "Yes-
led struck at Gardiner's point daring a
:gale at 9 o'clock in the morning, two
jmontbs after leaving Seattle, and began
breaking up immediately. The crew
made a desperate effort to reach shore,
.avoiding the reefs, jutting rocks and wild
("breakers. "
The first boat let down was smashed,
and the second boat was worked away
;and- swamped. Adrian F. Gorton, a
jSwedish sailor, was washed away and
tlrowned. One seaman started to swim
ashore and was about to give up when
a eeized a nieA nf wrpnlcairn And
Veached ashore. The captain aftd rest
pf the crew finally reached shore by
clinging to the wreckage. The story of
hardship and peril is a heartrending one.

ISadly Damaged.
Holyhead, Jan. 1. The Cnnard line

rom Boston, December 21, for Liverpool,
ran. ashore on a reef near South Stack,
in a dense fog, but was subsequently
hoated and steamed here. When the
teamerfirst grounded two lifeboats were
feent to her. Forty passengers arrived
here and have taken passage for their
espective destinations. -
The Cephaloniahad a very rough pass
age. Jiverything went well, however,
hntil 7 :30 this mornjng, when she ran
kshore. The passengers rushed on deck
n alarm. Boats were lowered immedi
Ltlev, and all women and children were
Jilaced in them. Then the other pass
fftnegers were allowed to enter the beats
An examination of the steamer Showed
that while ber after part was badly dam
aged,, she was not making so much
water as to prevent her proceeding.
.Therefore, at high tide, the passengers
were again taken on board and all possi
ble speed made for Hollyhead.
The passengers speak in the highest
terms of the conduct of the officers dur
ing the emergency, and are delighted
with having escaped such gieat peril
without lnfia rn thpmBAlppa

.Later in the day the Cephaloma began
baking water rapidly where she was
eached. Her afterpart and afterholds
reneariy full of water, which, ia also
joginning to enter the saloons. The
ork of getting out her cargo from the
.iternolcis lias been almost entirelv
opped, and the position of the steamer
very critical. .

Washington, Jan. 1. New Year's
day was ce!ebr,atedihere" in a good old
fashioned . way. Alt of the officials re
ceived. It was an ideal day. -
Interest, of course, centered in the
president's reception. The White House
had been elaborately decorated with
flowers and foilage, and the Marine band
of 60 pieces, under the leadership of Pro
fessor Francuilla, were stationed just
within the entrauce, and added color to
the brilliancy of the scene. The musical
program included a melange ot airs of all
nations, arranged by Sousa, as a compli
ment to the diplomatic corps, a trium
phant Euesian air and a suggestion of
peace on earth and good will to men in
the "Angels' Waltz." .
Just before 11 o'clock the president
and Mrs. Cleveland descended the stair
way from the private portion of the
bouse, followed by members of the cab-
met, and exchanged greetings with mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, who came
resplendent in full court enstomes. The
president then took his place hi the blue
parlor, next to the door, with Mrs.
Cleveland on his right. ' In line beside
her were the wives of members of the
cabinet and Miss Herbert, daughter of
Secretary Herbert. Mrs. Smith was pre
vented from attending by the illness of
her daughter. In the rear of the line
were members of the cabinet and the
ladies invited to assist in the reception.

the stand taken by the porte, and tbe
dragomans are urging the Turkish of
ficials to accept their offer. No definite
information is obtainable from Zeitoun,

ing out against the Turks, and tbe latter
are suffering severely on account of the
weather.

None But Ayer'a at the World' Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys tbe extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding tbe entry of patent medicines
'and nostrums. The decision -of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla' was in effect as follows:
"Ayer's Sareaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It ia here on its
merits."

vasion of the Transvaal republic by an

Today it is Africa ; yesterday it is South
America." .
The invasion of the Transvaal by Dr.
Jamieson and the forces of the British
South Africa Company, all the newspa
pers declare, constitutes a serious and
unjustifiable breach of peace, against
which Germany must protest.
