? I 1a Ignorance of Their Danger.
f The army transport Manauense arrlv
H at Manila, thirty-three days from Han
Francisco. She narrowly escaped foun
dering with all on board, aa her engines
broke down anO ahe rolled three days at
lh mercy of typhoon. The Mananense
bad on board Lieut. Col. Webb llayea
and three com panic of the Thlrty-lirst
infantry. The officers and soldiers were
fcepfbaling for twelve day and it was
almost a miracle thut the vessel reached
Manila. The steamer, It Is claimed, was
nnseawoitby, undermanned and short of
provisions.
When the Mannucnse anchored In Ma
nila bay there was several feet of water
In her hold and 400 grimy, greasy, hun
gry, exhausted soldiers and sailors who
bad been passing buckets of water for
two weeks, night and duy. First Assist
ant Engineer I.nnlenvy wns under arrest,
and, according to Col. Webb Hayes' offi
cial report, the chief engineer would also
hare been under arrest if there httd been
anyone to replace him.
Men Ignorant of Danger,
t The colonel's report also declares that
he captain of the vessel told hlra that
the only thing which brought them
through was the fact that the men were
greenhorns and failed to realize their
idaugcr, while experienced seamen would
(have deserted the ship and taken to the
(boats in uiidocean.
: The Mnnawnse I a chartered ship fly
ling the British flag. She started from
;San Francisco accompanied by the trans
port Tekin, which carried the remainder
of the regiment and encountered heavy
seas to Honolulu without accident.
After starting it developed thut she was
undermanned and soldiers had to be de
tailed to act as firemen, coal passers and
waiters and to do other work. Before
reaching Honolulu the crew concluded
that the ship was not safe and the ma
jority agreed to desert. Though tbey
were closely watched, many of the crew
succeeded in getting away and the Ma
nauenso left Honolulu with less than half
her crew. The vessel sprung a leak and
r.n investigation resulted In finding sev
eral feet of water In her hold. The steam
pumps were tried, but failed to work, and
there were no band pumps on board,
ilowever, forty-aix buckets were found,
others were improvised and the soldiers
not employed in working the ship were
organized Into five shifts and, stripping
and forming lines, they began baling, the
officers working with the men, passing
the buckets, which were sent up to the
deck by a windlass. The baling continued
until the ship anchored at Manila.
Machinery Is Disabled.
The same day the leak was discovered
the machinery collapsed and the electric
lighting plant and evaporating, distilling
end refrigerating apparatus failed to
work. There were no lumps and the few
rundles found were exhausted nfter k
few daya. During the lust week of tlw
passage the Manauense was in utter
durkuess at night. She bad been rolling
heavy seas all the way, but Nov. 'i

would proceed again for a few hours.
i The meat and vegetables rotted becunse
of the failure of the refrigerators and
were thrown overboard. The officera and
soldiers were utterly exhausted when
they reached Manila. They declare the
engineers were grossly incompetent. The
officers also say. that the behavior of the
troops was beyond praise. lor daya they

lea's holiday, but all concerned are now
delighted with tho bappy choice, Sir
Julian himself having stated that he Is
very much of an American;' The wed
ding will be celebrated at the embassy
and will be one of the brilliant events of
the Washington season. Miss Paunce-
foto is the first child of an Ambassador
to be married at the United States cap
ital. The I'resident and all the member
of his cabinet, with the entire diplomatic
corps, will attend the ceremony. .
A question of precedence has been set
tled by Secretary Porter, the official so
cial arbiter at the , White House, Occa
sionally the wives of cabinet officers arc
unable to take their, place in the official
line at the state receptions. Under such
circumstances u daughter frequently acta
for her mother anil the momentous ques
tion has been whllher this daughter
should take the pmce In the line which
her mother would occupy or go to the
foot of the class, i Secretary Porter has
decided that tho substitutes must go to
the foot of the line, below Miss Wilson,
daughter of the Secretary of Agricul
ture, who Is tho regular representative
of her futlier, but who tukes tho foot of
the lino because ho is legally nt tho foot
of tho cnbluet succession. Mr. Porter's
uecision puts an and to a social uiscus-
slon which had In
t the elements of some
heart burnings, n
il the matrons of the
cabinet are overjJyeil at the fact
I: :-
Tho Huberts ciLo Is an annoying one
to both parties.
Public sentiment is
against allowing
he Mormon member to
hold a sent iu Qmgress. Mr. Huberts
contends that th
constitution of Utah,
accepted by the
,'nltcd States Govern
ment when tho Si
ut u wus admitted, pro-
hi blted polygamic
is marriages, but did
hot prohibit men
who had plural wives
from living with
them and curing for
them and their fatuities. The Hepublicans
want to expel Hi
berts because he Is a
polygamlst, not 14
cause he is a Mormon
r a Iemocrat.
The Democrat a do uof
want to have hiid
expelled because he is
hey do not care to do
gam Int. They hesitate
a Democrat, but
fend him as a pol
at Inviting him to
tho Democratic caucus,
but they do not (lire to deny him admis
sion as a good 1
emocrat. Neither sido
cares to have it niiudn a party issue.
Mr. Madden, the fourth assistant post
master general, In his annual report tells
how fourth-class 1 postmasters sometimes
Increase their compensation, which is reg
ulated by the number of stnmps that are
old nnd canceled In their offices. Many
postmasters who are merchants arrange
with tho wholesale dealers with whom
they buy goods to send aa much as possi
ble by mall as fuurth-cluss matter. The
wholesale, merchant puts n single i!-ct nt
tamp upon a package, aud when it ar
rives at its destination the merchant post
master adds a sufficient number of postage-duo
stamps to cover the deficiency,
which muy run into dullurs in a month.
Then he credits himself with the commis
sion on their cancellntlonunder the ex
isting rules for the regulation of compen
sation of postmasters of the fourth class.
Members of both houses of Congress
are receiving largely aigned petitions of
symputhy with the Boers, which atk that
Congress shall interfere to protect them
from the rupucltms policy of Gieut Brit
ain by insisting upon nn arbitration of
the questions at Issue. While Congress
has nothing to do with the fortiru af
fairs of thit country, and is expressly for
bidden to interfere with them, there will
doubtless be an effort to respond in some
measure to public sentiment by the intro
duction and the possible pussage of a
resolutlou of sympathy.
For thirty days the families of the ad
ministration will abstain from all social
pleasures out of respect to the memory

TH"i "FRANKtii'i SYNDICATE.
Complete Collapse of the Most Glaring,
Hwlndlc of Kecerjt Years.
The "Franklin syndicate," the empty
nhell of which the New fork police are
now carefully guarding, rrcsents one of
lho' typical cases
which will probably
continue to con
found the lawmak
er and sadden the
economist until the
millennium.
Of course, the
"syndicate" was a
barefaced swindle.
There was nothing
new in its plan.
Hcorcs of like swin
dles have run their
course, milked their
w. F. m M. r.n. victims and been
copiously exposed In the newspapers. The
only novelty nbout the New lork con
cern lay in the circumstance that it out
did all predecessors in the openly frauda
lent character of Its scheme. In short,
it promised depositors a return of 10 per
cent a week to be won In stock exchange
speculation. It actually pnid this rate on
deposits for more than a yenr and at the
time of its collapse is said to have bad
on hand something over f 1,000,000. Iht
wonder is where people of so little aense
got so much money. One day Just be
fore the collapse Miller claimed to have
taken in $80,000 and pnid out $30,000 iu
interest
Attention wns directed to the place,
but, In the absence of complaints, the
police and district attorney were unable
to act. The banks shut down on the
syndicate, however, when depositors be
gan to grow alarmed, and demanded their
money bnck. Miller announced that he
would not pay a dollar without a week's
notice. Later the house was seized and
closed by the police. There were forty
employes in the oflice when it wns schv

DISCIPLINE OF MATRIMONY.
Cjrf) HE first year of married life may

The angles of our characters, we be
ing usually agreeably unconscious of
them, become unpleasantly revealed to
us because they get In the way of our
partner for life. And lie whom we con
sider faultless proves to hnve angles aa
well. Each has to learn the other all
over QRaln In the Intimacy of marriage.
Matrimony Is a splendid institution
for the elimination of self-will. By the
time those angles above referred to
have become rounded and Inaggresslve,
the nature of their owner has under
gone a change of which he or ehe may
possibly be unaware. All the same, it
Is In the nature of discipline, and dis
cipline la not Invariably pleasant.
When true love helps In the process
It may be comparatively painless. The
love acts as an anaesthetic; or, to vary
the simile, lore Is as the skilled den
tist, who minimizes the pain of his op
eration's. When there Is marrlnge without love
tho discipline of adjusting the two na
tures to each other and to the necessi
ties of a double existence may be lik
ened to the unskilled operator, who
gives hie pntlents the maximum of pain
with the minimum of benefit.

It sweeps the cob r -bs from the' sky.
She does not wear tho longest truln to

But because she does not chatter and
giggle, and make fiersolf conspicuous at

cause she is maturing that power.
In the meantime It is the quiet girl
who marries earliest, who makes the
best match, who fills tho niches which
her more brilliant sisters leave vacant;
who manages the servants, runs the

originality of finish, though it may be
neither rich nor elaborate, will supply
ample evidence that the waist Is tip to

throat, disappeared within the yoke, but
popped out ngain and wns in sight to the
waist line, a pair of velvet tubs holding
it. The device is well worth copying, and
there are others as effective. A stock
scurf may he topped at the portion that
passes about the neck by nn overturned
edge of linen, muslin or lace, the scorf
ends being fringed out in knotted tassels.

Fringe is another unmistakable sign of
this season. Women have been a long
time coming to it, but it is here in force
and lends itself beautifully to current
fashions. It is applied in many ways.
Cloth is heavily embroidered in silk, the
ends of silk being knotted into a fringe
at all the edges of the cloth. Net enrich
ed by passementerie is fringed nt the
edge, aud passementerie nnd other "mo
tifs," as they ate called, in silk, net em
broidery, etc., nre finished with fringe.
The most swagger thing Is to have the
fringe made on the material, but it is
swagger enongh to buy fringe by the
yard and apply It. Lovely results are

Tnckcd silk gave the yoke, and black
velvet on the bodice was cleverly arrang

the gowns that by current standards are
classified as simple, though they usually,
are marked by exquisite fit and high
grade materials, so are costly product.

The princess form of it Is just the thing
for a fine figure, and a belted polonaise;
like thia one is a little less trying. The
belt should dip in front, and when there
is a buckle it should emphasize the down
pointing. In this trickery the pictured;
belt and buckle give a helpful hint. The
current variations of the princess cut are
so many and their divergences from the
original are so cleverly disguised that one
is apt to get the Idea that princess
gowns art! more plentiful than they really,
are. The fact is that very few women
dare don tho entirely unrelieved princess.)
Very pretty softenings are secured by.;
stitchings or other elaboration, and some
of these quite change the gown in its ex
actions from the wearer. In th's picture

the most extravagant notions. The rich
woman may pay whatever price she likes
for such decoration, and the possessor of '

bolero is long nt the bnck. That pictured
here provides a pretty variation iu a
bolero fastening to outline a yoke and
curving away again to show an under

polonaise back, and bolero-nnd-overdress

of a skirt line under a double overdress,
away down at the hem, just to give a line '
of color matching yoke, or finish of bo

artist chose. Scarlet ladies' cloth was
its main material, Its stitching was black
