He said that he and other demo crats had been accused of following a republican president in the matter of railway-rate legislation, but declared that if a republican president took dem ocratic principles, that was no reason why democrats should abandon them. the demands of the powers are show ing signs oJf weakening.

Asked whether he believed democrats would vote as a body in the house for the president's rate bill, Mr. Hay said he thought the democrats should get together and frame and support a bill of their own, embodying their princi ples and theirs only, on the subject. He believed that such a step would be taken by the minority. ^oses oUnitedsituation, the th ah tension between the sultan and the altb To Cure Take Wa\o Tu is no reasott onxietyprobablyasthere so far the safety of for -,*,_, Roosevelt has ye worse time than the present for their ultimatum to the pope during holy week as to expect the sultan to do anything in the last week of the festival of Bam azan or during the festival of Bairam.

"This feeling naturally is shared by the higher army officers, who would be very much disinclined to see Turkish territory ceded or anything equivalent to such cession without striking a blow. I'Turkey clearly is eager to fight on this matter with the Balkan countries, and every day that passes without wit nessing a settlement of the present dif ficulties makes it increasingly harder for either the sultan1 or the nowers to give in." Diplomats Leave in Huff. At the great reception Nov. 28 on th occasion of the festival of Bairam, the foreign diplomats were not permitted to occupy the- usual seats but were as signed to others, from which they could see nothing. As a consequence most of the diplomats, including Mr. Leish mann, the American minister, left the hall of audience.

They were in a buggy, returning from a dance, when the front of the locomo tive hit the horse and buggy. The horse was killed almost instantly and the buggy was shattered. At Eland Junction, where the train was obliged to switch, the switchman heard the cries of Mrs. Turenski. They found her wedged under the pilot, to gether with her husband. The couple was taken to a hospital at Antigo, where they were examined. The doc tor found the man's skull fractured and Mrs. Turenski internally injured, and said that it would be a miracle if the husband should recover, while the saving of the wife is improbable. They had been married just eight months, and in that time had been liv ing on a farm near Wittenburg. Mrs. Turenski's relatives live at Merrill and they arrived at Antigo yesterday.

Dr. Har rington, in company with Dr. Thomas Orr of the same institution is making a tour of America for the purpose or examining hospital conditions on this side of the water.

"It is a well-known fact," snid Dr. Harrington, "that city noises have been a great factor in the production of nervous diseases and the excessively high tension of modern life. The reflex action of their effect on the lungs and other vital organs has, however, been overlooked. A noise is a wound in em bryo.

Mc- the men to save their lives Williams has confessed to the killing of his wife and five children at their home near this place last Wednesday. The bodies were found on Friday. McWilliams says he committed the crime because he thought his family was better off dead than alive. He claims that the jealousy of his wife has made his home unbearable, and that he was unwilling to go away and leave the children in her care, so he de cided to kill them all.v In his confession he relates how he first struck down his wife with a ham mer while she was preparing the even ing meal. He killed the baby, who was in the room, and then called in the other four children one by ono and fin ished his deadly work. His daughter Cora, he says, recovered from the blow with the hammer and fought him until he finished the ghastly work with the butcher knife. After that he stabbed all the others. The man is bowed under the weight of his crimes. When brought into court he did not wish that an attorney should be secured for him, but the court appointed H. C. Chappell. A plea of guilty is expected, but it is pos sible that an effort may be made to show insanity. Complete Winter Outfits. The Great Plymouth Clothing Houao.

Governor Higgins will not approve a continuation of meetings of the insur ance investigation committee during the coming session in case the commit tee finds it impossible to conclude its work before the opening of the legis lature. The governor may, therefore, recommend that the committee finish its work after the legislature adjourns, and make a final report to the legisla ture of 1907. He said today in reply to the suggestion that the committee might meet while the legislature is sitting: "It is not advisable to have the committee out during the session of the legislature. It would interfere with the work of the house. This was ex perienced last winter when the gas in vestigation committee was out."

There is no record in the clerk's office of the transfer, but there is a new man in charge of the estate and he has said that he was in the einplov of Mr. Mul ligan, who had just purchased the place. Dover Ridge farm consists of 1,100 acres with a splendid country mansion, stables, greenhouses and out buildings. In point of size it is like Florham, Cedar ,Court and Delbarton, the estates of Twombley, Kahn and Kountz, respectively.

Special to The Journal. Fort Williams, Ont., Dee. 2.With a hole twenty-five feet in diameter in her bottom, a rock driven clear thru her and her stern completely under water, the Canadian steamer Monks Haven lies a helpless wreck on a rock about one mile south of Pie island on the north shore of Lake Superior. The condition of the vessel is such that her owners may never attempt to move her. Her crew of twenty-three barely escaped with their lives. The vessel struck in the terrific sea of last Tues day morning, and in less than five min utes the entire crew had leaped to the rocks, some without clothes, where, be cause of the waves, they were com pelled to remain without food or shelter more than forty-eight hours. Ike Woolener, the second mate, went temporarily insane thru exposure. The vessel was in command of Captain P. Mclntyre, and is thought to be a total loss. Thirteen of her crew were picked up last night by the Sylviania. The remaindei were taken care of today. ESCAPE FEOM BURNING SHIP Captain of Steamer Charles Stewart Parnell Tells of Crew's Suffering. Special to The Journal. Milwaukee, Dec. 2.With the arrival in Milwaukee of seventeen terror-strick en sailors on the steamer Harlem, the first intimation of the destruction of the steamer Charles Stewart Parnell by fire seven miles west of Squaw island: was Se 'ven to the world. The members of crew gave graphic recitals of their experience on board the burning vessel and of their narrow escape from a watery grave. "While we were eating our Thanks giving dinner one of the boys remarked that something was smoking," said Captain William Griffin of the ill-fated vessel. "When I realized that the fire was beyond our control I called upon the men to save their lives,. Two boats were lowered. "The two boats soon drifted apart, and I realized that our chances for reaching shore were meager. We pulled away, however, but we made little head way. The strain began to tell on the men and they soon began to show signs of exhaustion. Then came the rescue." wol, i* NINETEEN PERISH I N STOBM Is Worst Disaster on Lake Superior Loss of the Owen and Crew. Duluth, Dec. 2.That thts steamer Ira H. Owen has foundered and her crew is lost in the great gale that swept Lake Superior there no longer is any doubt. Captain Kellar of the steamer H. 3 Nye first reported having seen the Owen in distress off Outer island, and last night word came from Ashland that the steamer Sir William Siemens passed thru wreckage which included a. lifepreserver from the missing ship. The lifepreserver bore the name Ira H. Owen. The lost steamer was in command of Captain Joseph Mulligan, and his chief engineer was Hugh Buchanan. The steamer cleared from Duluth last Mon day noon with barley for Buffalo. She was a comparatively old boat, built in 1887 and waB 262 feet long. The Owen carried a crew of nineteen men, and from the viewpoint of loss of life, the sinking of this vessel was the greatest disaster of the storm. Big Steamer Ashore.

England, which went ashore at Minnesota point, two miles from Duluth ship canal, about two hours before the Mataafa was wrecked, was released by tugs late yes terday. The barge Constitution, consort of tho Victory, has been picked up and is now safe in Bayfield harbor, south shore. The steamer H. B. Nye, Captain Alva Kellar, came very near foundering on Lake Superior. Mate Sturtevant was washed overboard and drowned. The Nye had 240,000 bushels of flax in her hold. Heroism of a Crew. Heroism worthy of America's great est sailo.s, daring that mocked at wind and wave, coolness sublime in the face of death, and endurance that surpasses belief, saved the steamer Umbria and her gallant crew from destruction in the storm which sent so many noble vessels to the bottom. Stripped of her pilothouse by a bil low that smashed her wheel and carried away the compasses while her men were struggling, blinded in the seas, the Umbria, which was headed direct into the teeth of the gale, rolled for a moment helpless in the trough of the sea. With a coolness that never deserted him in this terrible crisis. Captain C. M. Seph, from the hurricane deck, roared out an order, and like so many tigers, the forward crew, headed by the first and Becond mates, sprang to the afterdeck and worked like demons to make the couplings of the after wheel, tho every moment the billows swept them like chips to the ropes, where they clung until they could regain their feet. In six minutes, which seemed like hours to the helpless crew below, the couplings were made and the wheelmen sprang to their posts on the afterdeck, exposed to the full fury of the elements, and by desperate labor and consum mate skill brought the trembling and battered leviathan from the trough of the sea and once more turned her nose to the gale. Thirty-six hours of endurance that defied despair in the face of momentary death tells the tale of the struggle with the waves which brought the boat safe to harbor, battered and broken, her officers and crew cruelly bruised and cut by flying missiles, but triumphant over death in a thousand forms and proud in the joy of having saved the noble steamer from a place among the wrecks of Lake Superior. The Umbria was loaded at Cleveland, and carried 7,000 tons of coal for Du luth. Leaving the Soo at 9 o'clock Sunday night, she encountered the full fury of the storm twenty-four hours later, between Eagle river and Outer island. Pilothouse Is Lost. Mile Point, south shore, but as far as' exhaustion, and their faces and bodies known, her crew is safe. She is on a sandy bottom. Four hours she flew with the gale 'until abreast of Devils island, and at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning the captain gave the order, and she was turned with consummate skill into the storm, then blowing at its height. Then occurred the critical loss of her pilothouse and the driving of the men aft. With nothing but the after wheel she was held for thirty-eight hours in the full breast of the hurricane, which furnished the only possible guide by which to steer, for the compass had been swept overboard. During the whole time, exposed to the full blast of the icy wind and the billows which engulfed the deck, the two wheelmen, Edward Olson and Henry Larson, stuck to their post and saved the ship.

Western Star, of the Cleveland Cliffs fleet, is high and dry on Fourteen Mile point, near Onton agon. A heavy northeast wind is blowing and waves are dashing over the boat. The damage will be slight, as the steamer lies on a sandy bottom and did not touch the reef. Tugs at Ontonagon are trying to break the ice in the river and reach the vessel with provisions, as the crew of twenty-six men is short of supplies. The vessel was bound up light for Fort Williams to take on a large cargo of iron ore. Jesse Spalding Arrives Safely. Ashland, Wis Dec 2.The steamer Jesse Spajding, command of Captain Joseph Travis, reached here after bat tling the heavy gale which swept over Lake Superior. The bqat was loaded with coal for Ashland, and when it ar rived it looked like a huge iceberg ?lowing thru the waters or the bay. 'he ice was from one to four feet thick on the boat, and the only way the occupants of the pilothouse could get in and out was thru a small window in the rear. Wind Releases Steamer. Special to The Journal. Marquette, Mich., Dec. 2.While Captain Griffith and First Mate Fitch were rh?

The boat was not damaged and after picking up the chief officers, cleared for the head of the lake. A GTJASANTEED CUES *OE PILES.
