ST. PAUL AGROUND
Struck a Sandbar on the
Jersey Coast.
ACCIDENT DUE TO HEAVY FOGS
Thought to Be tasking---If She la Not
Beady to Ball Wednesday the
Bt. Lonls Will Take
Ber Place.
Sandy Hook, Jan. 26. The American
liner St. Paul, from Southampton, for
New York, struck the outer bar, off the
Hotel Brighton, at Long Branch, N. J.,
during a dense fog, between 1 and 2
o'clock this morning. She was shortly
afterwards discovered by the patrol from
the Long Branch life-saving service, and
preparations were made to open com
munication with her. Tke apparatus
was dragged to the place and a shot web
fired across the vessel, a hawser was
, placed on beard and the breeches-buoy
Bent off. The people on board desired to
remain by the vessel, as there was no
danger. Messages were sent ashore not
ifying the agents of the maritime ex
change and the wrecking companies of
the accident. v
Crews from Seabright, Monmouth
Beach and the Long Branch life-saving
stations were all in attendance on the
steamer. The wind was light, south
west, with a long ground swell.
Among the passengers on the St. Paul
are : Ex-Congressman W. Bourke Coch
ran, Prince Serge Wolkousky, Dixon C.
Walker, Dr. S. A. Knort, Harvey W.
Brown, H. Q. Fellows, Miss Minnie
Sachs, Louis R. Worth and W. W.
Whitehouse.
The St. Paul has on board $1,500,000
in specie.
The vessel struck on a sand bar a
quarter of a mile from the iron pier.
He nose ran about 100 feet into the sand
before the engines could be stopped.
She is pointing southwest.
The St. Paul sailed from Southamp
ton, January 18, in charge of Captain
Jamison. When the steamer ran ashore,
it is said there were only four feet of
water over the bar, Old seaman along
shore say the vessel may not be floated
for a week or more.
The wrecking-tug Hustler passed out
at 9:20 a. m., to render assistance to the
vessel, but at 10 a. m. no passengers bad
been removed from the steamer, At
that time two tugs were beside the
steamer, and another on the way from
New York. A stern line was put out to
hold the vessel in the position she
struck. This morning she appeared to
be leaking, dirty water coming from the
ship's pumps.
. This afternoon the life-saving crews
commenced the transfer of the St. Paul
passengers to another steamer.
From the fact that she ran aground at
high water, it is thought she will not be
easily floated. The .next high water
will be a little before 2 o'clock, and an
Jbffort will then be made to pull her off.
Meantime everything that can be re
moved will be taken from the vessel in
order to lighten her. Nine tugs are now
with her.
Some steerage passengers became
greatly alarmed when the vessel struck.
Whe they went on deck, however, and
saw the shore, they became quiet.
The St. Paul was launched from
Cramps, yard, at Philadelphia, April 10,
1895. She is one of the most magnifi
cently appointed vessels in the Trans
Atlantic service, If she is not ready to
sail next Wednesday the Company will
substitute the St. Louis. .
THK TRANSVAAL INVASION.
Statement From onr Consnlar Agent
B agar ding- American Prisoners.
Washington, Jan. 25. The state de
partment today gave out the following
statement: Manian, the consular agent
at Johannesburg, cables Secretary Olney
that all American prisoners are out on
parole, except Hammond, whose case
differs from that of tLe others, in that
Hammond signed the constitutional in
vitation to Jameson to come to Johan
nesburg in case -of extreme peril. Jame
son marched towards Johannesburg,
however, before trouble arose. When
this was discovered the American and
other leaders issued a proclamation call
ing on the people to refrain from hostili
ties. Instead of inciting the rebellion
Hammond in the beginning raised the
Transvaal flag and all in the movement
swore allegiance. Clement and other
Americans took arms from many and
sent them home. Not a shot was fired
by the Johannesburg party. There was
no disturbance, nor a single act of bos
tility. The arms were peacefully eur
rendered and everv effort was made to
maintain the republic against encroach
ment. The cases against the American pris
oners arrested will be tried in court,
though the government has not yet in
dicated the time of prosecution. Manian
adds that the Transvaal government has
acted magnanimously.
In view ot the foregoing, it is believed
here that neither Hammond nor any
other American is in serious peril. The
state department has cabled Manian to
use the most active and vigorous meas
ures for the relief of Americans, and to
that end make the Transvaal govern
ment direct representation on behalf of
the United States, which acts independ
ently, of course, in its own interests.
The Extra-Session Talks.
Salem, Jan. 26. .Talk of an extra ses
sion of the legislature continues a topic
of conversation here, and expressions
from Governor Lord on the subject are
above par. Some who have conversed
with the governor say there will be no
call issued. They have not, however,
been authorized to say there will not be
a call issued. The governor" has said
there has been no direct demand made
upon blm.
W. H. Hobson says he was quoted in
correctly in The Oregonian of the 23d
inst. He said:
"I am of, the opinion that an extra
saasion would not profit the state very
much."
'The machines made him say it would
profit the state very much.

less true, that a great multitude of peo

Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailj?ent3 of children said:
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever use, and
cnat is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon, as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it contains noth-
iug injurious. For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton, Druggist.
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulators the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to anv other." So wrote Mr.
3. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. S. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, "It fulfills all you promise for it."
Piles of peoples have piles, but De
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure them.
When promptly applied it cures scalds
burns without the slightest pain.
