BURIAL PROBABLY IN ARLINGTON Veteran af Two ' Wars Saeeambs ta aa Attack of Paeaaionla, the Oatgrewtk of a Berere' Cold. NEW YORK. Jan. 28. General Joseph Wheeler, the famous confederate cavalry leader and a brigadier general of the United States army since the war with- Spain, died at 6:36 this afternoon at the bdtne of nis- sister, Mrs. sterling nmun, in uroon lyn. The veteran of two wars was 4 -years of age, but In spite of his age. there was hope until yesterday for his recovery from the attack of pneumonia which caused his death. It has not yet been decided where the body will lie Interred, but probably It will be In Arlington National cemetery near Washington. Announcement of the . plans for the funeral will be made tomorrow. General Wheeler waa taken 111 tlx days ago at his sister's home, where he has been living recently. He contracted a severe cold, which developed Into pleurisy and pneumonia. From the. first his age told against him. but the family did not give up hope until last night, when the disease was found to have affected both lungs. General Wheeler's immediate relatives were all with him. The family were summoned to the bedside of the patient at midnight last night when the doc-tor In consultation concluded that the end was but a matter of hours. . The general was then awake aud conscious and his mind waa apparently o tire.

BURGLARS ARE INTERRUPTED One Drops His Booty, bat Both' Elade Officer, Thoaah gaspeet Is Arrested. The reports of three pistol shots on the , outside penetrated the police station and ' sent the officers on Huty scurrying In all ( directions to locate the cause at 1:30 o'clock this morning. It was soon learned that the shots had been fired by Patrolman Flsk at two burglars who had broken Into the cigar store of Frank J. Salisbury, 1320 Douglas street, and were trying to get away. The men gained entrance by breaking "a rear window, but a woman living upstairs heard the noise and notified Officer Flsk. He en- countered the men In the alley, whereupon : they started to run. Flsk threw his club I at one of the men' tr,kl" hl,n ,n th" neck I d knocking him down. He dropped three boxes of cigars which he was carrying, but Bt up and started off before Flsk could get him. The officer then pulled his revolver and fired, but the men paid no heed. About fifteen minutes afterward Detective Donohoe arrested a man In the 'crowd which followed him around In his search and had Patrolman Murphy lock him up. Flsk rec ognised him as the one he had knocked down, but the man, who gave his name aa r' Bock. denied that he had anything l" " roonery. it is not known whether the men secured more booty or not.

We do not behove that Providence which placed us' in a world filled with countless delights, ever intended that we drug ourselves, bring on diseases and live cheerless, unhappy and paln-filled lives. On the contrary," the Joys of each day should make us. look, forward with pleas ant anticipations to the coming of the next: without health this Is impossible. We have, Ui an extent, the power to command that health1. A lady wrlUjig from Meadvllle, Pa., says that for 20 years she was a great sufferer from headaches (which were fre quent, and confined her to her bed for 34 hours at a time) and kidney troubles; that she employed uumerous physicians from time to time and took mucn medi cine but got no help;' that one doctor said her spine was afflicted, another that her sufferings came from female weakness, a third that her eyes brought it all on her etc., etc., but that when the truth was reached It was found that her coffee- drinking habit waa alone responsible that she was 'coffee poisoned.' So the good Samaritan told her about Postum Food Coffee and she determined to quit using the old, kind and see what the new would do for her. She consign ed the medicine bottles to the trash barrel along with .the coffee canister and began to drink Postum. "At first . I did not like It," she says, "but when 1 learned how tp prepare it I found it a most agreeable and refreshing beverage. I soon began to feel better, the headache grew less aud less frequent and severe, my sleep, became natural and restful and now. after 1 years' use all my troubles have disappeared. Including the affection of the kidneys, of which I was at one time moat apprehensive. "My weight baa Increased 23 pounds. "I wish to' speak within moderation, but I tell you the truth, when I say that Ufa looks bright to me now. and I could not If I would, and would not If I could "give up Postum and go back " to the old kind Of coffee again."'

A special representa tive of the Post-lntelllgenecr telegraphs from Port Angeles at 8:30 a. m. that the ! rescue 'ship City of Topeka picked up a life raft at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon six mile off Cape Beale with nineteen sur vivors of the Valencia board. ' The. men were In a pitiable - condition snd almost dead from exposure. I The condition of the sun-Ivors was pitiable. They were half frosen and prac tically unconscious from exposure. The raft was sighted about 12 o'clock, but ow ing td the thick weather it was supposed to be nothing but a log. At last, by the aid of a powerful glass. Its true nature wss determined. A terrible sea, wss running. One minute the raft was poised on top of a wave and the next It would be lost from view In the gully formed by the mountainous breakers. The nineteen men together on their frail support battled bravely with a pair of oars to reach the City of Topeka, which, owing to the dangerous condition of the coast, could not run In any closer fo them. Wlthlr a mile of the raft boat was lowered from the Topeka. in charge of Second Mate Burke, who, with much dif ficulty, succeeded In making fast a line to the raft. The work of rescuing them was most dangerous. The men were to exhausted to even tie a rope about themselves. When the raft was sighted a cry went up from the steamer's deck. Orders were shouted and the men on the raft screamed I ''"i V'' ' . II IWHeu as lliuusu ma mu liinil mill in hair was gone, When the raft gave a sudden lurch, but the prompt work of Mate burke and his men In the boat finally got him on deck. This man was no sooner safe when another fainting form was swept away and was only rescued by quick work on the part of the bout's crew. The next man to be swept from the raft managed to grasp a line and cling to It until he was hoisted haIf way up tne BUp-g Bide when his strength gave out and he fell back. He was picked up by the bout. Story of a Survivor. The following Is the story of O. Willets, one of the .passengers and one of the men rescued from the raft: The ship struck at 12:07 on the morning of Tuesday, January iZ. I was on deck at the time smoking a cigar and was looking at my watch waen the first crush cmne. In an Instant all was excitement. There were the shrieks of the frightened men and women, the wall of little children and the hoarse Orders of the officers of the ship. The vessel reeled like a drunken man, slid over the reef and struck again. The command to back off was given and It went astern at full speed, nut It was too late. The water was pouring In like a mill race. The wind swung the vessel's stern to tne beach and Its head to the waves, rnis 1 saved -many lives, ss It was then swept j bck to the "hore'.nd trUPk once .a"tt,n.," such a position that it remained partly above the water and on an even keel, I Every wave now washed c:ear over the -'oe'c'weTtTo WdetSs".'11?, to murmur a prayer. The order was given to get out the boats. ' Two of them on the weather side were )ttUnch.d and were mas,od like eggshells as soon as they, struck the water. Then came the attempt to get out the lee boats. r Purser O Farrel took charge. -Four -omen and-a numher of men went Into j the boat. I don't know how many, but It was practically full. Just as they were ! of the boat fell to the water, while the bow hung In the air. Every one was precipitated into the sea and swept away In an Instant. For a sec ond or two I caught a glimpse of an agon ized face, then another, and yet another, as they were washed by me. It waa awful. The waves dashing over the ship started breaking It up. They swept the deck loose and every swell lifted It. We clung to the rigging and deck house. Tries to Get Line Ashore. . Then an attempt was made to get a line ashore. A fireman named Cigales agreed to swim ashore. He was in the water fully halt an hour, hut was unable to make the beach. The ship struck Ii. a bad spot. It 1 is directly at the foot of a DreciDitous bluff ,hat comes sheer to the water's edge. One n waH ,wept ashore and succeeded In landing on a small rock. We shot a line to him and he then tried to climb the cliff, ' but he fell and-was killed before our eyes. j On0 of th m(mt pMbe incidents was that of a little boy about 6 years of age. I His fsther. mother and two little sisters Put 0(r ,n one of th bonts. The boat was rapgtre(j sno nn were drowned. The little ( fellow waded around the deck crying for ; hi. parents. Th. last I wol him hew., . similar cases. r A lame officer from the Concord, accompanied by his two sisters, was also In the rigging. By Wednesday morning the ship was rapidly going to pieces. Every swell car ried away a portion of the snip and the decks rose and felt with every breaker and it was Impossible to stay on deck without clinging to a support. The ship was sunk to about the level of the hurri cane dock. In the morning another sad calamity oc curred. About nrteen or twenty persons, anions them one or two women, had taken refuge In the foretopmast. They appeared to be In the safest place, as It was removed from the wash of the waves, although the flying spray dashed over their heads. Sud denly, without warning, the mast tottered aud there came a shriek from those on It. snd the next moment it fell with a crash, carrying its loud of human freight to a terrible death. I don't think there was u Single one saved. Their bodies were Washed from the ship and we could see Ilium dashed against the rocks. To add to our misery, the last of our food was washed away. We had no water to drink, save the bitter cold sleet. The wind and ruin, combined with the sea, soon numbed us. Every little while one of those in the rlgxlng would lose his hold and be swept away to the sharp rocks. When we saw the Queen In the morning we thanked God for saving us, but when it, In company with the tug, sheered off and sailed away, It was followed with noth ing bufcurser. I suppose It was too dan gerous for them to attempt to save us. When the Topeka Anally hove In sight we determined to make an effort to reach It in ths ltfo ratt. Few of the men cared to make the attempt, as it appeared to b certulu dentil to even try to cross the t.ri.kcii. But eighteen of us were willing snd we started. With only a pair of oars the struggle against the wind and sea was almost too much .fur us. Part of the lime we were under water and were almost drowned, but we were impelled bv deaneratlon and fought and fought against the elements like demons.

If It had we would have died right there. The waving of the shirt on the raft re minds me that wuen the Queen was first sighted the women in t:.o ringing even re moved portions of their clothing to wave as a signal for help from their positions In the rigging- When we left the ship on the raft we tried to get some of the remaining women to go, but they refused. No help can now reach them before morning, and the ship will have then gone to pieces. It was breaking up when we left. It could not fslbly have held together more than a ew hours afterward. It lies directly In such a position that there is no hope tf anyone reaching shore. If the two boats which we saw got away and put to sea are picked up thev and ourselves will be the only ones saved.

SIR EDWARD GREY HAS LARGE MAJORITY Liberals Sow Control More Thaa Half the Seats, with Sixty Flections Yet ta Be ' Held. LONDON. Jan. 26.-Blr Edward Grey, the new foreign secretary, has been returned from BcrwIck-on-Tweed division of Northumberland by the largest majority he ever had. This Is typical of the general result of yesterday's elections, which prac tically were an unbroken series of liberal successes, out of twenty-one returns this morning the liberals take seventeen seats, twelve of which were captured from the unionists. The others were divided, union ists three and luborites one. The new House of Commons already con tains thirteen Jews, with several con stituencies to be heard from.

Silas Kltto Hock ing, the novelist, Is having a stiff fight In the liberal Interest, against Lionel Wal ter Rothschild, unionist and free trader, supported by the popularity and wealth of the Rothschilds, who have held the seat without a break since 1865. The campaigning In the Orkneys and Shetland Is proving dangerous In conse quence of the prevailing storms. Candl dates are frequently obliged to abandon meetings because the fishermen declined to undertake the risk of crossing between the Islands. The polling begins there Feb ruary 6 and February 7 will close the elec tions. Alban H. Glbbs. unionist, has resigned his seat for the city of London In favor of former Premier Balfour, who bas acoepted the committee's Invitation to be a candidate to Represent the constituency.

Vote splitting between the liberals' and laborltes in the three-cornered contest for the Gc van division of Lanarkshire have given the unionists another solitary gain, This, however, is offset by several liberal gains. Including the defeat of Colngsby Disraeli in the Altrincham division of Cheshire, and the unseating of the Hon. J. Parker Smith for the Patrick division of Lanarkshire. Mr. Smith held the seat for sixteen years. He is a member of the executive committee of the Tariff Reform league and was private secretary to Joseph Chamberlain when the latter was secretary for, the. colonies. . . ... R. C. Lehmann, the Journalist and oars man, who Is well known in the United States, was defeated In the South or Mar ketborough division of Llcestshlre. He ran In the liberal interest against C. Harvey Dixon, the unionist candidate. Liberals Have Majority. The returns to date show that the seats are distributed as follows: Liberals, 338; unionists, 143; nationalists, 81; laborltes, 48. The total vote Is 670. The liberals now control more than half the seats with sixty elections yet to be held. Of the fifty candidates nominated by the liberal representation committee twenty nine have been elected. With them will act J. Williams, the miners' candidate In the Gower or western division of Glamor ganshire, In Wales, making a group of thirty laborltes pledged to absolute Inde pendence. 1 It Is understood that the liberals will al low Mr. Balfour to be elected unopposed for the city of London, though a formal decision has been postponed until Monday.
