One of the aesthetic members of
the legislature has introduced a bill
designating the golden rod as the
emblematic flower of Nebraska. It
is a flower that is prevalent in all
parts of Nebraska during the lat
ter part of the summer season.
The national debt has increased
in times of peace during several
democratic administrations, but at
no time with such alarming- rapidity
as during this the second reign of
Grover. The way to obviate an in
crease of the public debt is to knock
out the democratic party at each
general election.
The copartnership formerly
maintained between our William
Jennings Bryan and the pop party
of Nebraska has been dissolved, and
anybody who owes the old firm any
thing will settle with Mr. Bryan,
and those who claim that the firm
owes them something will apply at
pop headquarters. The failure of
the pop party to deliver the legisla
tive vote of its representatives to
Mr. Bryan for United States sen
ator is what brought about the dis
solution. The Omaha World-Herald
has thrown up the job of standing
responsible, as the accredited offi

LEGISLATIVE LACONICS.
Another bill increasing the num
ber of judges of the supreme court
was introduced Tuesday. It is a
joint resolution for the submission
of an amendment to the constitu
tion providing for five judges, who
shall hold their office for a term of
five years. Davies also introduced
a joint resolution looKing- to an
amendment to the constitution, fix
ing the salaries of the judges
of the supreme court at not more
than S5.000 nor less than $4,000,
and those of the judges of the dis
trict court at not more than $3,500
nor less than $3,000.
The dispute over legislative em
ployes is still unsettled. There has
been a constant pressure to get
names on the pay rolls, either
wrongfully or to have them appear
in advance of the time the employ
ment began. The House to-day
tried to reduce the number of em
ployes, but did not succeed. The
Secretary of the Senate refused to
sign tne vouchers unless his pay
was allowed double, which, it seems
has been done heretofore on the
theory that he was compelled to
work day and night. The lieuten
ant governor refused to sign any
such vouchers, and also expressed
a determination not to allow any
employes in excess of the number
provided for by law to draw pay
The state auditor says he will not
honor any vouchers which he thinks
improper.
The house on Tuesday passed Da
vies' joint resolution for the submis
sion of an amendment to the section
of the constitution regulating- the
investment of the permanent school
fund. This amendment provides
that the fund may be invested in
school district bonds as well as Uni
ted States and state securities and
county bonds. It provides also that

rible details of the loss of theGerawui
Lloyd steamship Elbe and her human
freight are being discussed here by
crowds of people gathered at different
places where the survivors remain, al
though a regular blizzard is blowing
and under ordinary circumstances but
few people would have ventured out of
tooni. The bitterly cold weather pre
vailing and the lack of ne;?rs from any
point along the coast shows that there is
little if any hope of any oilier survivors
of the disaster reaching land. Every
body here is asking his neighbor tho
same question: "How did it occur?" and
nobody seems to be able to give a satis
factory answer. A handful of the sur
vivors who were clustering around a

in the most bitter criticisms of
the steamer Crathie, which ram
med and sunk the Elbe. They
all claim she should have stood by the
Elbe, aud if she had done so a great
many lives would have been saved.

into the matter. The agents of the
North German Lloyd company at South
ampton have been in constant communi
cation with the German vice consul,
who has been on the spot ever since a
short time after the disaster became
known. It is not yet definitely estab
lished that the Crathie was the offend
ing steamer. There are- several inter
esting points in this distressing story
which require definite explanation be
fore all the facts in the case will become
generally known. For instance, there
are people who believe that a second
steamer may have foundered. They
base their opinion on the fact that the
Ramsgate life boat put to seayesterday
evening in answer to signals of distress,
supposed to have come frojn a steamer.
But the lifeboat has not returned, and
as she got away in a blinding, snow
storm, it is believed that she is lost and
that the steamer she attempted to assist
also went down. Then again, the word
"Azonia" is branded on tho oars of the
boat stranded near Yarmouth, so people
say it could not be the boat from which
th'Wildflower rescued the survivors of
the Elbe. Tho name of "Azonia" is
not known in shipping circles here.
Statement of the Disaster.
The following statement of the disas
ter was officially given this afternoon to
the Associated Press correspondent by
the German vice consul, Herr Bradber,
and was corrected by him. The state
ment was made after sifting all inter
views with the survivors and cross
questioning the officers and crow and
may be classed as the consensus of opin
ion of the officers:
"The collision occurred 45 miles from
Merchelling ligh; ship. Though both
the Elbe and the colliding steamer were
going full steam ahead, the concussion
was very slight. Immediately after the
collision the Elbe began to settle down
stern first, her bow mounting high into
the air aud rendering it impossible to
reach some of the boats. As everybody
exchange, crowded upon the deck immediately af
ter the shock and in a state of great
alarm, it was impossible for the orders
of the captain, who was standing on
the bridge, that the women and child
ren should be saved first, could
lie obeyed. A rush was made for the
loats that were accessible The first
boat to touch the water was immediately
swamped and the passengers "who had
crowded into it were drowned. The

before she could be pulled into the boat.

assert that they did not see her go down,

Story of a Sarvivor.
Mr. Carl Hoffman, one of the cabin
passengera of the Elbe, who was res
cued from the lifeboat of that vessel.
Belongs at Grand Island, Neb. He says
that' had the velsei which collided with
the Elbe stood by the latter steamer the
maioritv of the passengers and crew
might have been saved, for he says the
Elbe romained perfectly steady for many
minutes after ,the collision before the
volume of water poured into her and
cansad her to lurch.. Then all "became
confusion. Mr. Hoffman this morning,
sp-akinc of the disaster, says: "Those
who were drowned suffered less than
we who are saved." Sobs shook the
rame of tho strong man as he made the
statement. He is a German-American,
about 85 years of age, of tho type com
m -u in the western part of the United
States. His face was se?med with tears
which had wet his sleepless pillow all
n;'ght. Continuing, Mr. Hoffman said
"There was no confusion among the
passencrers. They behaved wen, ana
the only confusion was with the crew,
who tried to save themselves.
"It seems stramre sir, but to see these
here so few oat of tho saved, out of
tho 20 saved .15 are members of the
crew, r utmany more might have been
saved. Oh God! My wife! My boy!
Both are dead and I can't go to their
graves."
Hero the unfortunate man burst into
tears. After a few minutes he contin
ued: "Yes, mauy of tho passengers had
life b3lt, bat they were useless. The
noise of the collision sounded no louder
in my stateroom than the siurfo beat of
a big drum. But when we rushed on
deck I found the passengers crowding
around tho boats, and the crew running
hero and there and cuttiug the rope in
the tackles by which they -were lowered.
They were to proud on that ship.
Painted ropes which should have been
oiled, then they would have beon lim
per. "I saw no other vessel and no other
light except the Elbe's lights. When I
entered the boat they took my boy irom
me. Oh God! My 7-year-old darling.
Sir, had I known it was not the captain
who ordered the women and children to
the starboard side of tho ship they would
never havo taken them from me. But
you see I have been a military man, aud
obeyed orders."
Where did you serve?" Mr. Hoffman
was a kei.
'I i the Fi teenth Prussian Ulilans
for tfiree year V.
"Were vou marriedTin Gemiamv'
"No; in America. My wife was only
years of ag Oh"," God! She was a
good woman, sir. She was born in Ne
braska of German parentage. Her
mother is now at Grand Island.
"It was all so sudden. When the
boat got away with a great deal of
trouble, the Elbe being right on top of
us at first, we had hardly got a hundred
yards from the ship when I saw a wonan
floating in the water. I tried to throw
something to hor, but somebody shouted,
"No, save oursolves
"I could not do that, sir. Finally
they got the boat up to her and with
tho help of another man I drew her into
the boat, which was an ordinary ship's
boat, about 15 feet long. I afterward
found out that her name was Anna
Bueckner. Poor girl! She was almost
dead with fright and cold. We put her
in the bo' torn of the boat and did all we
could to help her. Wo -were all wet
with water which was pouring in at our
collars and descending into our boots.
"We first tried to row, but we found
we made no headway and therefore
rigged up a short mast and with a small
sail tried to keep the bow of the boat to
the wind aud seas. After a while we
saw a smack and did all we could to
signal to her, although we failed to at
tract her attention. We had cut a piece
of canvas and made a small flag which
we used for signalling. This flag blew
away and the smack sailed off, causing
us to despair." Here a fresh paroxysm
of grief overtook the unhappy man aud
ai he bewailed the loss of his wife and
child, his utterances were almost choked
with grief. Some minutes elapsed be
lore Mr. Jionman was aoie to resume
his story and then he said:
"We made a new flag with our hand
kerchiefs and an undershirt which some
body pulled off. I held them up against
the mast and we eventually sighted the
Wildflower. But a full long terrible
hour elapsed before we were takon
aboard. She had her nets out and it
was difficult to approach her on account of
the heavy so is. After five of the persons
in our boat had been transferred to the
smack, the lifeboat seemed to slide back
into the water and it appeared as if tho
others -must be lost. But a rope was
thrown to us from the smack's stern
! and gradually we were hauled up and
i ad of us were transferred to the Wild
flower. When I reached her deck I fell
, down exhausted and offered up-a prayer
to God for my dead darlings and
thanked Him for having saved me."
j Mr. Hoffman concluded by asking if
anything had been heard from the
other boat, his eyes casting as pitying,
appealing a glance at the reporter as
ever tho latter" beheld and then the
poor man sauk back upon his pillow ex-
OIi, for some telegrams.
But she is diad. And & is my dar'ing
boy and I ca inot go to their graves.'

Crathie Struck the Elbe.
Rotterdam, .Tan. 81. Interviews
which were had this afternoon with
Captain Gordon of the steamer Crathie,
and with the second officer of that ves
sel, now leave no room for doubt that
she was the steamship which ran into
tnd sank the Elbe. Captain Gordon
said that the Crathie, at o:!50 a. m. yes
terday, was about 35 mile3 from Water
ways. The wind was north by west, a
half west. It was very dark and the
sea aud wind was strong. Continuing,
he said: "I stood at the bottom of the
cabin staircase and was going on deck
when there was a heavy shock, a crack
and the water began to pour into the
deck. I ran on deck and saw a large,
strange ship across the bows ofthe
Crathie.
"Alter the collision we returned to
the spot where it occurred or near as we
could mako out, but we were unable to
sec any sign of the steamer which we
thought had proceeded on her voyage
We followed after her for some time
but lost all sight of her. Wo waited for
two hours and then proceeded to Maas
Luis. We reached there yesterday and
came here today for repairs which will
take five weeks."
