RETURN TO THEIR PIERS Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm Will Be Com- pelled to Go Into Drydock for Re- | pairs, but the La Lorraine May Be Able to Sail in a, Day or Two—Pas- sengers on Both Vessels Momentar- lly Panic Stricken. New York, Nov. 18.—In a collision in the Hudson river between the French line steamer La Lorraine and the North German Lloyd liner Prinz Friedrich Wilbelm, as they were draw- ing out in the stream to sail for Eu- ¥ope, both steamers were seriously damaged ahove the water line and had to return to their piers. The damage to the German steamer will necessitate putting her into dry- dock for repairs, while La Lorraine may be able to sail in a day or two if the examination to be made by divers reveals no further damage than was immediately apparent. Several plates on the French liner were bent or broken, making a for- midable looking break in the liner’s bow, and ten or twelve feet of the stern of the German steamer were stove in. Passengers on both liners were panic stricken for the moment, but the assurances of the officers that there was no danger speedily quieted them. La Lorraine had just left her pier on the Manhattan shore and was headed down the river as the Prinz Friedrich Wilkelm backed out of her slip on the New Jersey side. As the| vessels approached, neither of them in a good pesition for maneuvering, it was seen that a collision was inevita- ble, although the engines of the| French liner were reversed in an ef- fort to swing clear. The bow of the French liner crashed into the stern of the German boat and both were dam- aged. The strong tide running in the river was believed to be responsible for the crash. No one was injured on either steamer. La Lorraine was bound for Havre and the Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm for! Bremen. ABANDON FIGHT ON GOMPERS Socialists Find They Lack Votes to Oust Leader. St. Louis, Nov. 18.—The announce- ment of Socialists that they will not oppose Samuel Gompers for the presi- dency of the American Federation of Labor is believed to have resulted from the attitude of T. L. Lewis, pres- ident of the United Mine Workers of America, who controls 2,360 votes of that organization. Heretofore the So- clalists have been led to expect Lewis’ support. “They have had no right to expect such a thing,” said President Lewis. “They are perfectly acquainted with my attitude in the past and I an- nounce it here. I am free and un- bound to any clique, clan or individ- ual.” RESCUE PARTY ORDERED OUT Will Search for Steamer Wolverine, Missing Three Weeks.

Florence Nightingale. There is a story that after the return to England of the troops from the Crimen Lord Stratford at a dinner suggested that those present should write on a piece of paper the name of the person whose Crimean reputation would endure longest. When the votes came to be examined it was found that not a single soldier had re ceived a vote. Every paper bore the same two words—Florence Nightin- gale, The “Lady With the Lamp” used to relate the following story: “Calling one day on one of her humble neigh- bors, she was surprised to see the usually tidy cottage in a state of great disorder. *Why, Mrs, —,’ said Miss Nightingale, *what is wrong with you? 1 never saw your home looking like this” ‘Beg your pardon, miss,’ said the abashed woman, ‘but. you see, 1 am expecting the visiting lady, and if she seed my place looking clean and tidy she’d think 1 dido’t need no helpin’? ” Chihuahu» Dogs.
