SEVEN LIVES LOST.
An T'nelMi Ship Wrpakrtl on Vnncnnver'a
IrIiiiiiI Tcrrlliln NulTorliie of tho Crnw.
Skatti.k, Wruli., Jnn. 13. Ten days
of suffering1 from cold mul privation
on a rocky bluff, during1 which time
seven of tho crow, including tho enp
tuin and mate, mot their death, and
tho other mato and seamen met with
terrible accidents, tolls tho talo of tho
wrecking of tho biff four-masted Eng
lish ship Jcanteo Cowan on Vancouver
island, otherwise known as tho 15ono
yard of tho Pacific ocean. This fright
ful news was brought to this city this
afternoon by the tug Tycc, which had
but a few hours before landed 14 mem
bers of tho ill-fated crew at Port
Townsend. Tho otllcers of tho tug toll
a most harrowing story of tho wreck
nnd of tho condition of the crew and
of its surroundings as found by them.
Tho vessel struck New Year's day.
Capt. Thompson dicdscvcrnldnys after
tho ship struck the reof, and tho cook
and an ablo senmau and tho man who
ran the donkey engine died tho fol
lowing day, tho latter becoming vio
lently insane. Tho other thrco men
who lost their lives were tho second
mate and two apprentice boys. Nino
members of the crew wore left on tho
fihore in a cabin about a milo north of
the place whore the ship went on the
reof.
Tho tug Tyco first sighted tho
wrecked ship on Saturday afternoon.
She wns plainly outlined on tho shore
of Vancouver island and could not bo
mistaken. No sign of tho crew could
bo seen on the shore. Tho sea was
running pretty high at tho tlmo tho
tug hovo to, but two boats were low
ered nnd a start made for the ship,
which was standing up majestically,
her lower topsail sot and straight on
to the westward. Tho stern was high
in tl'C nir und the rudder broken square
in two,
A portion of tho crow could be seen
on top of n high bluff, on which a tent
had been pitched. A sight met tho
gaze of th6 rescuers that will never bo
forgotten for years to come. Seated
about a fire wcro 13 men all woaring
an expression of utter hopelessness
and misery. First Mato Charles Le
gall, who was lashed to a boatswain's
chair, suffering from a fractured leg,
told Mate Hall, of the Tyee, tho story
of tho disaster. Ho said tho Cowan
camo from Capo Town, South Africa,
for Royal Roads, R. C, and was 108
days out when she reached Capo Flat
tery on December 19. Thero was a ter
rible storm off tho capo and tho vessel
stood oft' tho cape two days beforo
trying to come in. Then she was
driven quickly to the northward by a
strong southwest wind and sought
shelter in the treacherous waters of
Barclay sound to avoid boing driven
ashoro on some exposed point. Tho
sound afforded but little shelter, and
she was driven on the rocks at high
tide. This was two o'clock on tho
morning of December 31, and a snow
storm was coming on. The shipsecmed
to be breaking in two and it was de
cided to leavo her at once, and with
tho aid of a line made fast ashoro the
entire crew was taken off.
COOLING DOWN.
The Htrens of r'fiolliiRr Itntirnon Knglonri
anil (Jorinuny Growlntr Leas.
London, Jan. 13. Interest in tho
Transvaal question in its immodiato
bearings has revived to an appreciable
extent, while tho incidental straining
of relations between Great Rritain
and Germany, which so completely
placed the Doers in the background of
the picture for a tlmo, has in its turn
receded, but by no means disappeared.
There is littlo apprehension of war
with Germany, oyer the present com
plications at least, and tho Rritish
public has a reassuring sonso that if
thero is to bo war, England is ready
for it. The prompt and cflleient meas
ures of tho naval authorities and tho
formidable show of strength that is
the result, give John Dull a feeling of
confidence. Thero are no further ex
plicit announcements of movements
looking to an alliance of tho powers
against England to-day. Neverthe
less, it is keenly percoived by the pub
lic that tho sentiment displayed by the
German government has a far wider
bearing than tho present dispute in
tho Transvaal, and thero are visions of
futuro complications on qucstious of
conflicting interests.
A dispatch received from sources
sympathetic with tho Transvaal gov
ernment in Johannesburg last night
asserts the plot for Dr. Jameson's raid
and tho coincident uprising of tho
Uitlandcrs was the most shameful in
history. Tho blackest part of tho plot,
the dispatch as&erts, was tho intention
of the ngents of the Chartered South
Africa Co. to set loose tho savages to
invade tho Transvaal from all points
and to kill every white man. It had
been engaged that all over South Af
rica provisional stations should be
erected on tho lines of the route, and
tho points had been fixed. Tho object
was to destroy Pretoria and to present
England a flat accompli before any in
terference could reach them. Sketches
of Pretoria and of tho Rand made by
military men have, it is said, been
seized. This story, however, is de
nounced in London us a gross exagger
ation. Texatt Itciiitblluitii Split.

Punnv, Ok., Jan. lit. Conservative
peoplo of this plnco fear trouble be

cording to tho decision of tho court
schools wore opened for admission of
all races and color. Tho fight litis,
been going on for thrco months. The
school board voted n few days ago
to suspend schools, but the colored
people sued out a writ of mandamus
compelling tho board to open them
ngnin. This was supported by people
who preferred mixed schools to none,
so the hoard was compelled to recon
sider its action and to-day tho public
schools of tho city will contain both
whites and blacks. Several whito men
declaro they will keep their children
from school, nor will they feend thorn
where colored childron attend. Col

advertisement for the bonds was
made in good faith, that it will be
carried out to the letter.and that all the
bonds will be subscribed for. The ad
ministration has the power, he says,
to make tho loan a success, and it

redemption fund in case it is needed
between now nnd Fcbrunry 5.

PARALYSIS.
From the IVw, A'ew Torc City.
Morris Proslnncr of No. 1 Pitt Street,
Now York, who Is real cstnto agent and
collector of rents, caught a sevcro cold early
last spring, which Bottled upon IiIb Itidnoys.
Boon ho bognn to Buffer sovcro pain in his
backbone, sides and chost. His symptoms
grow rapidly moro alarming, until at last ho
was as helpless ns a child and could scnrcoly
movo as ho lay on his bed. As Mr. Pros
Inner is well-known in Uio part of town
where ho resides, ho hnd many sympathizers,
who did all they could to help him.
Though a natives of Berlin, Mr. rrcslnner
has lived in this country for forty years,
having served tho country of his adoption
by thrco years' hard sorvlco in tho civil
war. f Uo enlisted with tho Nineteenth
Illinois Infantry, taking pnrt in many bat
tles and inarching with Geu, Sherman to tho
sea. While in Georgia Mr. I'reslaner was
promoted to llrst sergeant for bravery on
tho Held of notion. Ho Is now a member of
Koltcs Post, G. A. It., mid is ono of tho
most popular men In tho Post.
Mr. Prcslnner told a reporter tho story of
his dreadful illness and tho wondorful re
covery. Tho reporter mot him ns ho was re
turning from a long wnlk, and, saying that
ho had hoard of his wonderful euro, asked
him to tell tho story. When Mr. I'reslaner
was comfortably seated in his pleasant
parlor, ho told tho following story, which,
no said, ho hoped ovcryono wlio was suffer
ing as ho had suffered would road. His
words wero as follows: "To begin with, 1
was taken sick just a year and n mouth ago,
having tnkeu a sovcro cold which sottlcd on
my kidneys. At first I thought tho pain I
suffered would soon pass away, but, instead
of doing this, it grow moro liiteiiso every
day, so that in a week I could walk only
with considerable difficulty.
'1 called in a doctor, who said I had loco
motor ntnxia and began treating mo for that
discaso. Ho did mo no good, and nil rummer
long 1 could scarcely attend to my business
at nil. Then 1 called another doctor and
took Ids medicine- for Ruvcrnl weeks, but
experienced no relief. Dr. Truimiu Nichols,
of No. 237 East Broadway, who I at last
called in, helped mo inoro than auv of tho
other doctors, but along towards fall 1 grew
worse, despito his treatment. 1 think" Dr.
Nichols is a good doctor and understood
;y cmn, bvt '.'"spilo this fwt his medicines
did mo no lasting good.
"Early in November tho littlo strength I
had in riiy logs loft mo and 1 was unablo to
staud. Tho pain in my hack and sides bo
camo almost unbearable, nud my limbs
grow cold. An electric battery I bought
failed to help mo, and for weeks I felt my
self gradually growing weaker until nil
hono left inc.
"Some tlmo beforo this I had read of a
wonderful euro a man had received from
Dr. Williamo' Pink Pills for Talo People,
but was so prejudiced against what 1
thought was a patent medicino of tho usual
worthless churaeter that I could not muko
up my mind to try them. As my pain in
creased and denth seemed coming near, I
thought of what 1 had road and of tho
symptoms of tho man who had been cured.
They wcro precisely tho samo as mine, and
nt last, with my wife's earnest entreaty, I
consented to try tho Pink Pills.
"I am now convinced that tlieso pills
saved my life. Gradually my strength be
gan to return, tho dcslro to livo grew
stronger within me. After having taken
thrco boxes I left my bed. This was early
in March. All pain had left me, and thnt
terriblo dead fooliug in my legs had gono
away. I was still very weak, but beforo I
had taken tho fourth box I was ablo to get
down stairs for a short walk in tho open air.
Now I feol ns if I had been born again and
nm as happy as a child. Every pleasant day
I tako a walk, and am suro that in a month
I will bo as well ns over."'
