pernio efforts to lecover tho ill-fated
Htthmaiiui! K-l, which carried twenty
one men to it watery grave in Hono
lulu harhor on March -tl, the iinoli
tru.ie courage of Jack Agra., n
diver, Hlandrt out I'oitxpieuously.
Agray. dehcended l! 1 Ti feet into the
xea, with only a helmet on, and lor
eighteen minutes' withstood, tlio tre
mendous inessiire of water ut that
depth while ho mnilo a necessary sur
vey. No other human being, so far as is
recorded, Iiiih gone that depth with
unprotected body and lived to tell of
his exploit.
Only eight v foot lower Hie plates of
Hiiliumrinos hnvo buckled under tho
ocean's weight rivets have broken.
And yet Agrax, with amazing nerve,
Iiml only tho atelt of his ribs to op
poso that crushing force; his ribs and
Ids sound lungs. Tho green burden
constricted his flesh like tlio folds of
a monstrous python. Jt flattened his
abdomen. It sent tlio blood roaring
to ids head, It oppressed him with a
strange languor toward tho last; Hut
Agniz slack it out until his work
was finished.
Tlio great dredger chains, groping
with blind hooks for tho sunken F-l
hud fouled, after heartbreaking fail
ure nnd delay, durinir which tho im
prisoned officers and crow Iiml per
ished. Agnu volunteered to blido
down (ho chain and locate (he t rouble.
A hunglesoino reinforced rubber suit
might hamper him. Without the suit
there wan appalling danger.
Donning his helmet Agrax slid down
215 feet. Ho hurried, l.iko tho
othor toilers above, ho was anxious
to end tho suspense of tho bereaved
W'a tellers ashore, oven though all hope
for life in tho F-4 had been aban
doned. So ho forgot tho cracking of his
ribs and (ho roaring in his head nnd
did his work, with patient courage,

FAILS TO AGREE
LONDON, April 8. Tho cabinet
having failed to come (o n decision
on tho drink question, no settlement
is expected until parliament meets
next week. The impression is growing-
Hint tho government will content
itself witli bringing in 11 measure pro
hibiting the sale of spirits. Even this
step will not bo exclusively a govern
ment policy, smco nothing enn bo
dono without consultation with other
parties.
Tho conservative lender, A. J. Hal
four nnd Andrew llonnr Law, aro be
lieved already to havo given privately
their assent to whatever ncliou may
bo tnken, provided no measure for
total prohibition bo considered at
this time.
In proposing (ho prohibition of the
sale of spmts nnd possibly wine and
lessening tho strength of beer, Great
Hntain would bo following tho foot
steps of Russin, which before the
adoption of total prohibition foibnde
the mnnufuoturo or use of spirits.
Kvou tho prohibition of traffic in
spirits is not likely to ho adopted
without considerable opposition from
tho vested interests. Tho influence
of the party favoring voluntary nb
sHnenco is growing. Its latest re
cruits ineludo tho liends of various
churches, who havo signed n pledge
to abstain from intoxicating liquors
during tho wnr.
Opposition to (ho suppression of
(ho use of spirits is in some degrco
sections, siuco Scotland consumes
per capita three times ns much spir
its as England and half again ns
much as Ireland. Scottish opposition,
if solid, might easily causo tho defeat
of tho measure.

CHINA TO YIELD

President Yuan Shi Kal SlngJc
Handedly Conductinn Negotiations
to Secure the Best Terms Possible
Advice of Foreigners Soufltit,
But No Awo Agree.
I'KKIN'O, Chinn, April 8.-TI10
Chinese statesman who hns borne thn
brunt of tho negotiations with (ha
Jnpnncse envoys is Ynnn Shi Kui, tho
president of Hie republic. Ho has
carried the cntiro responsibility of the
negotiations for Chinn, nnd virtonlly
alone he hns obtained the best terms
ho could. During those davs tho
president hns .often sought foreign
advice. Only this week he received
two foreigners nnd wns ndvicd hy
them to radical courses each diamet
rically opposed to the other. Ho fol
lowed neither, but continued on n
course, tho purpose of which evident
ly is to afford Chinn protection by
continued negotiations nnd conces
sions. Consequently Chinn is today dis
cussing with Japan certain of the
Tokio demands which she nt one time
refused to consider.
Negotiation AVfltclied
The progress of these negotiations
is being watched with the closest at
tention by nil the foreign diplomats
in I'ckin? and the Hritish and Ameri
can newspapers published in China
nro equally interested. At present
interest centers in what concessions
Chinn will make on tho clauses in
group five of the Japanese demands.
(Thcso provide for (he employment of
Jnpnncse advisers by China; for Jnp
nncse right of ownership to lnnd in
(he interior of China; for the employ
ment of Japanese police in Chinn;
thnt China purchase munitions of wnr
from Japan, and that she grant Ja
pan railroad concessions in the east
ern part of Central Chinn; thai China
permit Jnpnn lo work mines nnd build
railroads in Fukien province, and
that Japanese subjects bo allowed to
propoxate Ruddhism in China.)
I'ntura Reckoning
Somo foreign newspapers antici
pate that Chinn will accept certain of
these demnnds, but editorially thoy
warn (he republic of a "future reck
oning." It hns been learned thnt when
China made her request upon Japan
to remove her miliary forces from
(ho republic, (he communication was
couched in tlio feeblest mid most con
ciliatory language.
