WASHINGTON , Feb. 1C. Tiie ladles at
tending the Woman's Suffrage convention
were tardy arriving nt Mezerot bnll today
nnd consequently It wns late when Miss
Anthony called the session to order.
A number of additional delcgntes hnvo
nrrlvcd slnco yesterday. The reports of the
credential committee nnd of the treasurer
were on the program for consideration this
morning , but Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton ,
having these matters In charge , said that
owing to delays In receiving credentials of
members and the treasurer's books she was
unprepared to submit tlid reports. The con
vention then listened to Iho report of the cor
responding secretary of the association , Mrs.
Ilachcl Foster Avcry.
The report said that the advances alomi
the line of woman suffrage had been en
couraging , even In these discouraging times.
Kvcn the splendid and almost unhoped for
victory In Colorado had prepared all for
more devoted work In the face of difficul
ties which may' appear Insurmountable.
Among all the rejoicings nothing had
Hccmed so significant of a change In public
sentiment as the rejoicing of the Wollesoly
students , where the girls are receiving the
high education , which Is ono of the first
fruits of the struggle for political rights ,
nnd nro awakening to the underlying princi
ples of justice between the sexes. The
future of the cause was , Mrs. Avcry said ,
In safe hands. She referred to the disap
\ pointed hope of the women of Michigan and
Now York , where certain laws on the sub
ject of woman suffrage had been declared
unconstitutional.
Speaking of Now York , she asked what
cared the women thcro at this great crisis of
their political history. They-were organiz
ing thb grandest campaign for equality of
rights that the country had yet seen. "Look-
Ing further away , we find , " said the report ,
"the past year made memorable In woman
suffrage annals by the extension of the
franchise to the women of New Zealand , and
by their eager and enthusiastic entry Into
public life at tlio late election , when one-
third of the votes were cast by the women ,
nnd whan the proportion of defective ballots
vns smaller than over beforeIn . .England
the women hn-vo , In spite of government op
position , been endowed with the parish
councils franchise in company with several
classes of men now enfranchised. "
An li member 'of the national council of
women , the association had the opportunity ,
said the report , of bringing Its principles to
the notice of women who would never of
their own notion attend a BUffrago meeting.
The next public meeting of the council ,
which will bo held In this city next spring ,
would prove an Immense help to the woman
suffrage cause In showing the Interest of
women of all creeds nnd Interest In the pub
lic questions which nro ngltatlng the nntlon.
Mrs. Avcry suggested thnt the "Pilgrim
Mother" dinner , originated In New York by
Mrs. Blake nnd others , wns nn annual gath
ering which It would bo well to Inaugurate
in every city , nnd she thought that the min
isters who favor-'cquallty for women should
Vo urged to preach nt least once n year upon
the subject. Woman must feel It her chief
Work now to crystallzo Into organized form
the mass of public sentiment , which was
growing In favor of the cause of woman
BUffrago.
Mrs. Avery's Interesting report was fol
lowed by an animated discussion , during
which a number of delegates submitted in
formal reports of the progress of woman
suffrage In their localities. Those partici
pating Included Mrs , Henry of Kentucky and
Mrs. Grcenlcaf of Now York. Next came
the report of the southern committee , which
was read by Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky.
MISS CLAY'S REPORT.
Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky submitted
the report of the southern committee. Last
year , the report said , the number of the
members of the southern committee had
been Increased by four , representing tlio gain
of four southern state suffrage associations.
In February the southern work Buffered a
eovoro loss In the suspension of the Woman's
Chronicle of Arkansas , caused by the pro
longed 111 health of Its editor , Miss Cunnlng-
( ham. This left -Iho 'southern ' suffragists
without n distinct organ.
Slnco the successful organization In Texas ,
the report 'says , thcro are nbout three
southern states still nonauxlllary to the gen
eral association , West Virginia , North Carolina
lina nnd Mississippi. The state reports
would show valuable work In every southern
ntato nnd n wlso expenditure from those
etntcs which have been assisted from funds
of the committee.
The report made nn earnest appeal for
help to carry on the southern work , which
Is regarded ns the most Important presented
to tlio convention , ns the south Is ( i fur
inoro hopeful field than ts revealed at a
cursory glance. The people nre far more
homogeneous than that of any other section
of our country of equal sUe , uml when once
a foothold Is gained for any principle Its
growth Is rapid. Woman suffrage , with nn
educational qualification , Is singularly
adapted to the solving of the chief political
difficulties of the south.
"Wo cannot. " said the report , "allow the
work to languish In the south. And wo
need not bo troubled by fearing what Is
Kiven to the south at this crisis In Now
iVork and Kansas. "
After discussion of the southern outlook
n committee on resolution.1) wns appointed.
In the afternoon memorial services wore
Iiold In honor of Lucy Stone , Elizabeth O.ikos
Knilth , lion , l.eland Stanford , Ellzabath Pua-
body and Gcorgo W. Chllda.
A number of addrcssoa were made nnd
papers read.
Elizabeth Cady S.tanton had prepared n
papoi. Mrs. Stanton Is not attending the
convention this yenr and her paper was
r < * ad by ono of the members of the bocloty.
It was concerning George W. Chllds. The
paper eald :
"In the death of Gcorgo W. Chllds nn-
olliiT striking figure disappears from our
horizon , Ho was the first journalist to em
ploy women In his printing olllco nnd pay
them equal wages with men. and to place
woman nt the head of nn editorial depart
ment oi hht paper devoted tn women.
"Ho brought from England the first

msorlatlon , Ho distributed the bulk of his
foruine in his life to worthy objects and
loft n handsome fortune to bin wife to use ,

L ConctrulPU I uoy. Stone , Mrs. SUuitou said
In part : "The many nnd beautiful tributes
paid Lucy Stone , In all parts of the country ,
must have been highly satisfactory to all
who know nnd loved her. I think we can
Bay with truth thnt no other \\oman In the
country had been so widely and respectfully
mentioned by the preps , the pulpit nnd the
people. "
Lflnnd Stanford. Mrs. Stnnton regarded ns
a pre-eminently self-made man. Ho had said
that' he considered , the emancipation of
women the vital question of the country.
In nil clrcuniHtnnces , In riches nnd poverty ,
alike , he maintained nn Integrity , purity
nnd generosity of character that commanded
the confidence and admiration of all who
know him. The crowning act of his llfo In
honoring woman was In leaving ; his wife
possessor nnd manager of his vast cstnto of
$70,000,000. With rare executive ability she
Is managing the stocks nnd bonds of the
banks , railroads nnd the university Just ns
her husband did Iti bin life.
Similarly beautiful and pathetic tributes
were paid by Mrs. Stnnton to Iho memory
and character of Mrs. Elizabeth Oakes Pen-
body.
Mrs. Lily Dovcrcaux Blake also read a
paper containing n tribute to Lucy Stone ,
talking especially of the two domestic vir
tues In whoso life there had been n demon
stration of how unfounded all the apprehen
sions were of the dreadful results to be ex
pected from woman suffrage.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe nlso rend n glowing
tribute to the memory of Lucy Stone.
Tributes were nlso paid by Mrs. Josephine
K. Henry of Kentucky , Miss Laura Clay of
Kentucky nnd Henry II. Blnckwell of Massa
chusetts. Lucetln L. Btnnkcnburg of Phila
delphia , who enjoyed n personal acquaint
ance with the Into George W. Chlldii , told of
the latter's willingness to always help
women , nnd said that In his death the
women of America had lost a generous
friend.
Frederick Douglass of this city , the noted
colored orator , was Introduced nnd delivered
a glowing eulogy on the life and character
of Mrs. Stone.

. At the ovenlng session addresses were
'read by Mrs. Josephine K. Henry of Ken
tucky , Lllllo Devcreaux Blake , Leonard
Rhone , chairman of the executive committee
of the National grange , and Mine. Hanna
Korany of Syria. Tlio latter discussed
woman suffrage from an oriental standpoint ,
and said In part : "It Is an injustice and
robbery to prevent woman from exercising
her rights. I would llko so much to bo an
American citizen , , but I shall never bo ono
until woman-citizenship shall be proclaimed
all through this land. "
The meeting closed with nn address by

WASHINGTON , Feb. 1C. Mr. Bland today
began his coercive tnetlcs to compel a vote
on the silver seigniorage bill. The bulk of
the republicans nnd the democratic oppon
ents of the measure inaugurated a filibuster
with the intention of forcing him to produca
n quorum of the ndvocates of the bill to pass
It , and the entire day was consumed In roll
calls. The highest number of votes Mr.
Bland was able to poll wns 1C3 In favor of
his demand for the previous question on the
motion to close debate. Of these 145 were
democrats , nlno populists nnd nlno republi
cans. Mr. Page cr Rhode Island and Mr.
Ryan of Now York re'fused to join the fili
buster , but voted against the motion. The
republicans who voted with Bland were
Bowers of California , Broderlck , Doolittlc ,
Funston , Marsh , Hermann , Post , Plckler and
Sweet.
At 4 o'clock Mr. Bland abandoned any fur
ther nttempt to secure n quorum today , and ,
after passing n .resolution Instructing .the
sergeant-at-arms to telegraph for absentees ,
a recess was taken until S o'clock , the evenIng -
Ing session being devoted to the considera
tion of private pension bills.
Mr. Bland expresses the opinion that he
will have a quorum present tomorrow , but
the general Impression Is that ho will not be
able to secure a quorum until Monday.
At the opening of the session this morning
Mr. Cummlngs. . chairman of the committee
on naval affairs , presented a question of
privilege , the report of his committee on Mr.
Boutello's resolution calling upon the secre
tary of the navy to Inform the house by what
authority Instructions were Issued placing
the armed naval forces of the United Stales
and the use of Its ensign under the control
of James II. Blount , nnd also to furnish the
IIOUBO with copies of all orders , directions ,
Instructions or official suggestions Issued by
him since March 4 , 1803 , concerning the
movements of the naval forces at Hawaii.
Ho explained that the committee recom
mends the passage of the resolution , amended
so as to call for all orders from March 4 ,
1892 , Instead of 1893. Ho yielded n moment
to Mr. Boutelle , who urged the Importance
of the resolution , which , ho said , had already
been delayed six weeks. The information
called for by It , ho thought , should have
been before the house when the Hawaiian
resolutions were being debated.
Ho did not suppose that a favorable an
swer would have had any effect on that de
bate and the delay In procuring the Informa
tion requested by It. ho presumed , sub
served the same public policy which for
days and weeks had kept congress waiting
for Dole's reply to Willis , which had at last
reached the people tills morning through
the public press. Mr. Cummings then de
manded the previous question , which was
ordered , and the resolution us amended was
adopted without division.
Mr. Bland was then recognized. All sug
gestions for closing debate on tlio selgnlor-
ugo bill by unanimous consent having fulled ,
ho wns driven to coercive tactics. Ho
moved to go Into committee of the whole ,
and pending that motion that all general
debate on the measure close at 3 o'clock.
On that motion ho demanded the previous
question.
Mr. Cannon , Mr. Hopkins nnd Mr. Reed
nppealcd to him. for more tlmo for legitimate
debate , but Mr. Bland was obdurate. Ho
was perfectly willing , ho said , to set any
responsible limit If the opponents of tlio
bill would agree to it , but they had already
filibustered away two days , and ho was ad
monished that obstructive tactics would bo
resorted to nt ovrry stage of parliamentary
procedure hereafter.
Mr. Reed replied that there was no rea
son why the opposition to the bill should bo
bound over to keep the ponce In order not
to delay an opportunity to close the debate ;
thereupon Mr. Bland Insisted upon his mo
tion and tlio demand for the previous ques
tion.
tion.On
On n rising vote the republicans nnd the
opposing democrats declined to vote , nnd
when tlio result wns announced , uu to 0 ,
Mr. Tracey made the point of no quorum.
The yeas and miya were demanded , and It"
was very apparent from the outset that
Mr. Bland would bo unnblo to get n quorum
today. The vote resulted 140 to G , thirty-
four less than a quorum.
Mr. Bland moved a call of the house.
This call developed the presence of 23S
members , nnd again the vote recurred on
Mr. Uland's motion , which again failed for
lack of a quorum , ICOto 1 , or eighteen
short.
* Another call of the house followed , suc
ceeded by another roll call on Mr. Bland'a
motion. The roll call resulted 103 to 2
fourteen short of u quorum.
Mr. Bland moved another call of the IIOUBO ,
nnd upon the announcement of the result ,
232 members prcse.nt , he offered a resolution
to revoke all leaves of absence except on ac
count of sickness and to Instruct the ser-
gcant-at-arms to telegraph absentees and
request their attendance In order that public
business might proceed ,
Mr. Reed suggested that public business
could proceed without such a reason If the
speaker would count a quorum.
The resolution was then agreed to without
a division.
Mr , Bland thereupon moved to adjourn ,
Mr , Martin of Indiana called attention to
the fact that If the motion carried the even
ing session , to be devoted to pension bills ,
would bo dispensed with.
On u rising vote the house tied , ,87 to S7 ,
and Mr. Dockery In the chair cast thg de
ciding veto against the motion , and then , by
( ConUuucil on Second Page. )

WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE HUB ,
513 Fourteenth Street ,
WASHINGTON , Feb. 10.
Mr. .Wheeler II. Peckham of New York
City will not bo an associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States. Ills
nomination to that position was rejected by
iho senate this afternoon. The vote was
thlrty-oni ) nycs nnd forty nays , n majority
of nlno In the negative. It wns not without a
sharp struggle that n vote was finally forced
upon the nomination. The administration
senators fought for an adjournment without
action until Monday. They believed that
the railroad lobby and the administration
would be able to secure a sufficient number
of votes to Insure confirmation , the ono by
the use of money nnd the other by n dis
tribution of federal patronage. The corridors
riders of the capltol fairly swarmed with
railroad lobbyists this afternoon , nnd they
worked llko beavers to Hecure.Peckham votes.
The corporatlonlsts were all In favor of
Peckham. It was reported upon every limid
that general officers of the Pacific railroad
companies had not only sent representa
tives hero lo Influence senators In favor of
Peckham , but had been pouring'letters and
telegrams In upon them for several Oays ,
urging senators to vote for the nomination.
When the admlnlstratlonlsts attempr < Hl to
secure an adjournment of the scnn.o the op
position to confirmation , which mcludul almost -
most Konatn.- denounced
every republican Konatn.openly
nounced the proposition as n iiihenv ) to
give the lobby nnd tl.o administration
further opportunity to corrupt uona'.o * M. It
Is believed senators could hnvo secured
thousands of dollars eaa In hard cash , cr
utmost anything In the way oi fe'louil
patronage that they nuu'it have named ,
for their support of the nomm.U'im. '
PASSES ALL PREVIOUS RECOUPS.
At no time In the history of the cour/tiy
has there been such conUniicd nnd cpon
corruption In connection with nn ofTr ? . It
wns the first Instance wher-j the administra
tion attempted and prob.ibly uuccseded In
securing support by the ope i use of patron
age , which , under tlio circumstances , v&s
as disgraceful as the use of money , nnd It Is
likely the first time In the history of the
country where the administration cooperated
ated with corporations lo place a man upon
the bench of the supreme court of the
United States.
The black record of Boss Tweed pales
Into Insignificance when compared with the
work of the admlnlstrationists In connec
tion with the Peckham nomination. A
democrat In congress has hardly been able
to call his soul his own , whllo his inde
pendence In the exercise of a public duty
has been hampTred In every direction. The
Bee correspondent has in his possession the
names of n number of democratic senators
who were offered offices ns bribes to sup
port the Peckham nomination , while a num
ber of others have been flatly infornicd by
cabinet officers that the reason they have
not been given appointments was because
they would not support the administration
in Its efforts to fill the vacancy on the
supreme bench more than they havo. At
least ono republican senator frankly admits
that the reason bo supported the nomination
was because n postmaster was appointed
upon his recommendation. Such acts should
put to shame every senator who , for office
or fear of withdrawal of patronage , was
swerved from his duty In connection with
this nomination.
NEBRASKA WAS OPPOSED TO IT.
Both of thq Nebraska senators voted
against the nomination of Peckham. Senator
Manderson did some actlvb work In rolling
up the negative majority. Ono of the most
potent arguments used ngalnst Peckham's
confirmation was the statement that ho was
the champion of corporations and the Pacific
railroad companies were working for him.
It was announced , among other things , that
General Solicitor John M. Thurston of
Omaha had sent a telegram hero requesting
senators to support the nomination. It Is
.said that one of Nebraska's senators had re
ceived such a message.
When The Bee correspondent today asked
Senator Manderson * what ho know about the
reported request of Mr. Thurston of the'
Union Pacific Railroad company that certain
senators support the nomination of Peck-
ham , the Nebraska senator said : "All 1
know about It Is that with a number of other
senators upon the floor I was shown a tele
gram from Mr. Thurston , stating In effect
that ho hoped that the senator who received
tlio telegram could see his wny to vote for
Mr. Pcckbnm as supreme Judge ; that such
action would bo satlsfaclory to Judge Dillon
and other legal friends In New York. There
was no particular comment made upon the
telegram , and It was simply considered as nn
index to the wish of Mr. Thurston nnd some
of his professional friends in New York City.
It excited no particular comment or remarks
from any source that I am aware of. "
CAREY ON FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
Senator Carey of Wyoming Is ono of the
regular attendants upon the proceedings of
the National Woman's Suffrage association
fn session here. Tlio fact that women are
given suffrngo In his own state makes the
proceedings of this convention Impoitant to
him. Tlio 'senator addressed the conven
tion last night , nnd , after paying woman's
suffrage a tribute , stated that the example
sot by Wyoming wns undoubtedly what led
Colorado to grant woman the right to voto.
Senator Carey then added : "Wyoming and
Colorado have a Boundary line extending
about 400 miles. In Colorado It wns not nn
Instantaneous conversion , announced with
brass bands and parades , but a decision ar
rived at after lone and mature deliberation.
Her action Is sure to exert a marked Influ
ence upon neighboring states and territories.
If Utah should bo admitted as a ntuta at
this session of congress , there Is but little
doubt that her constitution would clothe
women with the same political rights that
are now "enjoyed by the women of Wyoming
nnd Colorado. The question must soon bo
considered In the states of Knns-.is , Nebraska
and the Dakotas , uml It Is my dellbarato
opinion that It will not bo many years be
fore woman suffrage will bo the rule and not
the exception In all the trnnsmlssourl coun
try. "
Senator Carey stated that women In
Wyoming not only vote for presidential
electors , but all federal , state , county , muni
cipal and school officers , nnd the same will
now bo true of Colorado also. "Colorado and
Wyoming. " Bald the senator , "havo Incor
porated the doctrine of political rights of
both sexes , It Is their organic law , because
It to just to woman and It Is best for man , a
principle so true that the tlmo la near at
hand when no man will have the courage to
deny It. "
TO EXTIRPATE RUSSIAN THISTLES.
Governor Shortrldgo of North Dakota ,
who Is hero working In > behalf of nn np-
proprlatlon to rid his state of the Russian
thlstlo pest , does not endorse cither of the
bills of Senator Hnnsbrough on the subject ,
Ho says that If $100,000 were appropriated
for North Dakota to bo expended' on farms
and government lands In tlio extirpation of
the thistle the farmers In that state- would
do their duty. The county commissioners
would uproot the thlstlo In the highways
and the railroad companies would pull them
out of their properties , go that the state
could bo thoroughly relieved. This plan ,
ho says , could bo followed In other states.
Governor Shortrldgo does not believe that
the government would adopt cither the first
or the second scheme proposed by Senator
Hausbrougb , aa thcx .would operate n tm
Improvement of private -property nt the pub
lic expense. Although ! the senate commit
tee has reported upon ] tie second bill of Mr.
Hansbrough , which proposed n plan of fram
ing out the work of. destroying the thistle ,
the honro committee' 'on agriculture objects
to the Hansbrough propositions because sec
tions of country Infected wllh cocklebtirs ,
wild mustard and other' pests would ask for
federal assistance It general aid wns given
to the work of destroying the Russian
thistle. It Is more ( linn likely that nn ap
propriation will be mil do on the Shortrldgo
plan. It hns been found thnt the Russian
thlstlo was Introduced Into the Dnkotas by
Scotchmen who brought It over from their
native country to bet grown ns sheep food.
When young it Is tender and juicy nnd
makes good sheep food.

The proceedings of the executive session ,
prior to the taking of the vote , consisted en
tirely of speech making , Senators Vilas ,
Mitchell of Oregon ( George and Gray speak
ing for confirming nnd Senators White
of California and Hawley against. All the
addresses , except those of Senators Vilas
and George , were very brief and consisted
mainly of explanations of the votes of the
speakers.
Senator _ Vilas spoke for two hours , de
voting himself to a defense of Mr. Peckham ,
an J of the president's , right to appoint In n
case like that of justice of the supreme
court , without consulting 'the senators from
whoso state the nominee was chosen. He
reftd extensively from letters concerning Mr.
PocKham which' had been laid before the Judi
ciary committee , giving extracts from letters
of condemnation ns wellaa praise , nnd nna-
lyzed nnd dissected the letters as he pro
gressed. Summing up , he declared the bet
ter testimony was favorable to Mr. Peck-
ham , and showed Klin to be a man deserv
ing the high honor which the president had
sought lo confer upon , him.
Mr. Vilas also made an explanation of Mr.
Peckham's telegram to Judge Caldwell con
cerning the receivership of Hie Atchlson , Topeka -
poka & Santa Fc railroad , -saying his motive
In saying that Judge" Caldwell's order was
not to be obeyed was founded on the fact
that- the Union Trust company , for which
Mr. Peckham was acting , was of the opinion
the order would place the trust company In
the light of a preferred creditor. Instead of
the bondholder for whom It acted.
Senator George discussed the constitu
tional points Involved In the case , nnd de
clared his belief that Mr. Peckham was a
man entirely fit for the post.
Senator White of California said the se
lection of a supreme court judge was a
matter which greatly concerned the people
of California. There was now , ho said ,
pending In the court n suit Involving the
ownership of the water front of San Fran
cisco and valuable property In that state
worth $00,000,000. This suit would event
ually reach the supreme court and bo de
termined by that tribunal. lie had ob
served some of the friends of the nominee
In the present Instance were men who were

LONDON , Feb. 1C. Bourdln , the French
man supposed to have been an anarchist ,
who was blown almost to pieces In Green
wich park , It Is thought , through stumbling
and falling upon n bottle of explosive ma
terial which ho carried In his pocket , IH said
to have come from Paris to London in ISSS
and to have worked here with his brother , n
Binall master tailor. Bourdln , according to
tlio police , visited all the anarchist clubs of
the city nnd became Imbued with their
opinions and methods. In 1891 Bourdln Is
said to have gone to the Unlctd States and
to have been employed by a Indies' tailoring
establishment In Detroit , directed by n
Hebrew named Wolrtgard. According to
the police Bourdln , after leaving Detroit ,
returned to Paris nnd from there cnmo to
this city. Ho Is said to have been n trusted
organizer of anarchists , and the police ex
press the opinion that Bourdln. when hemet
met his death , was on bis way through
Greenwich park to the famous Greenwich
observatory with the Intention of blowing
.up that Institution.
Bourdln has been watched by the police for
'sonio time past , as It was believed that ho
was contemplating sonio desperate deed.
Ills sister-in-law says that Bourdln called
upon her yesterday , and that when she
playfully pushed him he exclaimed : "For
God's sake don't push me. " From this It Is
believed that ho must have had the - explosive
sive In his pocket when ho calleij upon his
sister-in-law.
The dead anarchist , It hns been nscor-
tnlncd , was a frequent speaker at the debates
of the Autonomlc club , though his attendance

SAN FRANCISCO , Fob. 1C. ( Special Telegram -
gram to Tlio Uee. ) The sulcldo of Mny
Brookyn , the actress , who took carbolic
nclcl Inst night , was the ehfef topic of con
versation among theatrical pcoplo nml men
nbont town today. The letters mid papers
left by the dead woman show plainly that
In grief over the death of Lovccroft she hail
dabbled In spiritualism anil had finally
reached the conclusion that her only clianco
of hnpplncss lay In joining her lover In the
oilier world. What Is equally plain from her
effects la that ho had boon unable lately
to spend money as freely ns before , for
many dunning letters nml bills nro In
cluded In the mass of papers foil nil
In her trunk. One glove dealer
In Now York sent her Ihreo letters and dis
patches to collect n | 2S bill , and thcro nro
many more llko this. There nro n score
of letters nnd dispatches from Love-croft , nil
of which show that some quarrel had oc
curred just before his last Illness. Ills last
telegram was addressed to her nt the Star
thriller , lloston , dated October 21 , nnd read :
"I'nrdon neglect. Am Improving slowly.
Do not blnmo me. " Then there Is n letter
from John S. Kearney after Lovccroft's
death , saying that the family would kcop
nil Fred's things , but ho thought ho could
arrange for getting Justice done her. Then
follows this remarkable letter from T. S.
Robertson , the doctor who nttendcd Love-
croft :
"NEW YORK , Or ! . 81. ISM. My Dear
Miss Urookvn : I could not wrlto to you
before , ns I knew n letter from mo to you
would only make matters worse and en
tirely upset you. The wliole thing was too
horrible. Had poor Fred received the care
and watching 1 ndvlscd he would be with us
today. Still , poor fellow , ho IH gone and I
am sure Is happier than wo who are left
behind to fight It 'out nnd go through Just
what he hns. This will Is something dread
ful. , Just Imagine , ho has loft K. everything
without 'bond as executor. Never mind.
You nnd I can Ilx him. He was no friend
of yours and did fcnr mo. I nm
arranging things now so that you will not
bo forgotten. I know that Fred loved you
nn hour nnd n half before be died. I said I
was going to wrlto to you nnd did he want
me to send you any word. Ho said 'Send
May my love.1 These were almost the last
words I heard him say' Now , my mlvlco to
you Is to keep perfectly quiet and wo wilt
see that right and justice prevail. I may
yet wnnt you on here , but will keep you fully
posted. I um with you now and always.
Your friend , T. S. ROBERTSON. "
There are also two letters from J. W.
Wnkolee of New York , who seems to bo n
theatrical man. They are written at Long
Bench , Cal. , where ho was staying with his
daughters. The first , dated December | 1
last , Is partly a letter of condolence over
Lovccroft's death. Then It suddenly turns
Into n passionate love letter. The writer
Bays : "Because I have lived through nil
this , sweetheart , I do not send you words
and words , but I love you every little minute.
Send me a word , dear , and let mo wrlto
you now and again. My best wishes nnd
my hearty love nro with you , dear friend
of mine. "
Evidently she paid no hood to bis letters
nnd to telegrams , for on January 14 ho
sent her another long letter full of his pas
sion and longing. He asks her to nppolnt
n place where he can meet her In 'Frisco
oil his way , ? ast , There nre letters to her
brother ; Jack , In which slicf apologizes for
neglecting him. There nre nlso cards of
test mediums nnd nstrologlcal chart , on
which Is a peculiar line warning her to
avoid something In February , the month
that proved fatal. All her clothing Is left
to "Buttons , " who was her chum , Miss Mary
Boulton. Miss Brookyn played the part of

shb.A Portuguese warship hero is also In

growing serious so far as foreigners are con
cerned.
The American warships only communicate
with the shore by means of n hired tug , and
the greatest precautions are observed on
board all the ships. Admiral llenham has
conferred with the commanders of the Amer
ican vessels and nothing will be left undone
that will lead to preserving the health of the
American sailors.
The British warship Rcacern nlso has

WASHINGTON , Feb. 1C. - There is no
longer any doubt that yellow fever has made
Its appearance In the United States fleet nt
Rio and that the Newark Is the fever ship.
A cable , received from Admiral Uenhain
reads : "Ono man on board the Newark Is
III with yellow fever , 1 shall send the New
ark to Rio do la. Plata. "
By this time the Newark Is probably well
on her way to the southern ports. She will
probably make her destination Maldonudo , nt
tlio mouth of the Rio do In Pliitn. While
the Newark has acquired the reputation of
n fever ship this Is not likely to bo ns serious
a matter ns It would have been In the days
of the old navy , when n vessel once tainted
with yellow Jack could never bo Bnfely al
lowed to remain In tropical waters during
the hot season. New processes of disinfec
tion and the Biihstltutlon of Hteul for wood
In the hull and many of the fittings of the
ships have made It possible to exterminate
the last fever germ within a short tlmo
after the Infected vessel's arrival In health
ful climes.

QUEENSTOWN. Feb. 1C. The steamship
Adriatic of the Whlto Star line , which left
Now York on February 7 for Liverpool ,
passed Brow Head this morning nnd upon
arrival hero reported passing a large , dls-
nblcd passenger steamer oft D.iunfs Rock ,
In the south of Ireland. The steamer wan
nt anchor nnd did not eocm to bo In need
of nsalstnnco. The Adriatic's commander
expressed the opinion that the disabled
steamship waa the Paris of the American
line , which left Southampton on Wednesday
for New York , and which consequently ;
must have been disabled at sen and havo"
put back for Southampton , Anchoring olt
Daunt's Rock In order to communicate with
the shore.
So soon ns the news of the reported ac
cident readied here , the agent of the Ameri
can line , on board n tug , left this port for
the spot where the Paris was reported to
have anchored.
Some details of the disaster to the Parln
have reached hero through n boat's crew
which landed from the Paris , not far from
Daunt's Rock. The sailors report that the
Paris , during the hurricane on Tuesday last ,
lost her rudder whllo on her way to New
York , nnd wns compelled to put nbout nml
try to tnnko for Qiieonstown , where hep ,
rudder might bo repaired , and from thcro
to put back to Southampton , where shu
could be thoroughly repaired. Being a twin
screw steamship and ti jury rudder , which
was of considerable effect having been rig
ged , the Paris was able to cteer in a haphazard - '
hazard manner , and succeeded In reaching
Daunt's Rock In safety.
STEPS FOR SAFETY.
Captain Randall , , of the Paris , wjjen h-
made land , determined to anchor In orderi
that he might not expose his disabled vessel' '
to the chance of being carried by the numer
ous strong currents on the coast Into a post4
tlon of danger. 80 noon as possible after
wards one of the'lifeboats was" mailrtfcd ami
lowered and n boat's crow was sent nshoro.
with Instructions to make for the nearest |
coastguard station nnd have the news of the
nccldont to tho. steamship telegraphed to
Quoenstown. The boat's crow was also ln- |
structed to report that nil were well on
board the Paris and that there was abso.
lutely no danger of anything further happen
ing to the steamer. The weather Is modor-
nte nnd n pilot has been sent with the Amer-
Icnn lino's ngont to the assistance of the
steamer.
It Is probable thai the Paris will bo as
sisted back as far as thin port , where tem
porary repairs may bo made to her rudder ,
nnd It is believed that she will make for
Queenstown In order that the repairs may.
bo completed.
The officer In clmrgo of the boat which
landed from the Paris has made his official
report to the company. In this report the
ofllcor says that the rudder of the Paris waa '
carried away or very seriously damaged on
Monday evening , when the steamship waa
about 800 miles to the westward ,
The Paris had 1S9 saloon passengers on
board , 11G second class passengers and 2501
storage passengers. Tlio ofllcor of the Paris
says that at no time was there any sorloun ,
danger and that the passengers took thul
matter coolly when Informed thnt nn acci
dent to the ship would necessitate her re-1
turn to Southampton or Queenstown.
Tlio disaster was caused by the breaking )
of the rudder In what Is known as thai
trunk.
H Is said that passengers of the Paris will
bo embarked upon n Cunnrd steamship anil
forwarded to New-York ns soon as possible.
7 p. m. The steamship Paris Is now safn"
at anchor hero. Not one of the passefigerH
has requested to BO ashoro. A survey has
been made of tlio damage done to her rud
der. It Is now stated that the pussttngera
will proceed to Now York by the Uorlln 08
the same line , which will call hero on Sun
day. The postolllco authorities will prob
ably Insist on the malls being forwarded by ,
the Auranla of the Cunard lino.
STORY OF A PASSENGER ,
Mr. E. T. Bedford of New York , one of
the saloon passengers of the Paris , In nn'
Interview saidVo : had rough weather
nnd rough sens until the accident occurred ,
at 8:30 : Monday evening. Some time passed
before the passengers noticed that the acci
dent had occurred. 3'ho speed , It was noun ,
had diminished , but wo nil Imagined It wan
simply duo to the overheating of some por- |
tlon of the machinery nnd that the steamer
Would soon resume her regular gait. A
short tlmo afterwards , however , Captain
Ilandlo announced that the rudder post had |
broken In the trunk , thus rendering tlio'
rudder useless. The captain uddcil there
was no cause for alarm , and tlio pussengera
were soon reassured when they were re
minded by the other olllcers or utowardu
that the ship wa so thoroughly divided Into
water-tight compartments that she waa un-
slnkablo.
"In splto of the accident the Paris con
tinued heading for tlio westward and wu
judged from remarks dropped hero and thorn
that the only chance of serious danger or of
serious Injury to the ship was when filto
stopped , In which cuso the rudder swung
from port to starboard , striking heavily
against the Hides and threatening to brcalc
through. The danger , wo were crucially1
Informed , was passed when the steamer re
sumed her headway and proceeded again to
the westward. Shu continued steaming west
against wind nnd sea until U o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon , but the Paris only niuJti
nlno knotti nn hour and was sometimes
almost nt a standstill. The steaming lethe
the west , wo also gathered from observa
tions made hero ami there by the oftlcers.
was persisted In , In order lo keep her head
to the sea.
"Finally Captain Dandle calculated thnt
the coal Hitpply at the rate wo were golni :
would hardly milllce to carry us to New
York nnd ho determined to put about and
maku for Queenstown. The wind and tit ) , ,
being favorable by this time , the Paris waa
put about and she managed to innko fourteen
knots an hour , steering wonderfully well
with her double scrowH and the axslstanca
of Homo kind of a steering Bear whluh had
been rigged up by the crew.
"When the Paris was put nbout all sail
wax made on her and the spread of canvau
which ho throw to the breeze , though not
very great when compared with the Innftenii
size of the ship , was of great assistance In
hnr and we covered the S10 miles separatum
us from land In about sixty hours.
