HE WAS SHIPWRUGKED A Graphic Experience in the Caribbean Sea AND A FORTUNATE RESCUE, The Thrilling Story T. by Mr. A. Burch, the ivor, a How He Overcame Other Troubles. « The following account of a shipwreck, rescue, @ubsequent disaster and final salvation ts given by Mr. A. W. Burch of Rome, N. ¥. It ts exceedingly Staphic and will be found most Interesting: “On the 17th day of January, 1893, while cruis- ing down the Caribbean sea, accompanied by my Wife and child, we were caught tm a heavy north- east gale, which drove our schooner ashore on the Borth coast of Honduras. No one, unless be hae been shipwrecked, can tmagine what this means, Fortunately we were rescued from the wreck by some Carih Indians who were ving in @ small vilinge om the coast, and such comforts as the vil- laze afforded were placed at our disposal. “Among this semi-barbarle people we remained five weeks, finally crossing to the island of Ruatan 1m a dugout boat. “During the time we were among the Caribs we Were forced to live upon cocoanuts, bananas, cas- Sava ard other foods to which we were unaccus- tomed. Our stomachs were soon deranged by this Strange diet and we suffered acutely from dyspep- sia. Both myself and wife had terrible indigestion, Ransea, occasional headaches, sinking at the pit Of the stomach and the usual troubles dyspeptics Benerally undergo. “We finally reached the United States in a very broken condition, where we employed the best physicians and used various preparations, but we received Httle if any benefit. The malarial pot- sons which we had taken into our systems, with the acute gastrle troubles, refused to yield to the ¥arions methods of treatment and our conditions became daily more painful and alarming. med terrible that we should be rescued from a yatery grave only to be plunged into a Worse than living death, and you can naturally Understand that I became quite discouraged. “It was at this time that I observed, from an article im one of the leading papers, that there had been a selentific discovery which I felt was suited to our case. I at once began its use and experienced instant relief. My appetite became good and my food, instead of distressing me as formerly, was perfectly digested and caused me no tnconventence. I begam to guin flesh, and now both myself, my wife and our child are restored to per- fect health and strength wholly through the use Of the great pre-digested food, Puskola, “It was this great discovery which took us from ‘an almost hopeless condition of existence and has Placed us in @ position where we enjoy Iife to its Utrost. I have felt, since my most remarkable recovery, that any discovery such as Paskola which could make me a new man and restore my family to health after we had been brought so low must be of the greatest value to the hundreds of thou- sands of people who are suffering constantly from indigestion, constipation, stomach troubles, ma- fartal ditticulties, headaches and all those things which so hamper Iife and tuterfere with out bap- Piness and success. “This is my story in brief, and while I feel Grateful for the rescue from sllpwreck, I feel sill ore gratitude for the salvatiow from the condition Of sickness and misery which I might even now he undergoing had it not been for this great pre- digested food." It may Le remarked in conclusion that a pamph- Tet, fully describing Paskola and what it does, Will be sent free to any address by the Pre- Digested Food Co., 30 Reade street, New York.

A UMN STATION PROVIDED FUR Great Falls Railway and the Eck- ington Extension. PASSED THE SENATE Senator McMillan seized a fleeting mo- ment in the Senate yesterday afternoon just before adjournment to secure the pas- sage of one of the most comprehensive local street railroad bills that has passed Con- gress for several sessions. For some time past it has been apparent that the pressure on the time of the Senate was so great that indiscriminate legislation on local matters was practically useless, and that the most Pressing of the District bills would have to be consolidated in order to secure approval | by the President, if at all. Of the street railroad matters pending it was believed that three in particular required immediate attention: The amendment to the eharter of the Great Falls Company, which has been awaiting further legislation before begin- ning construction; the extension to the rail- road station and the market of the Ecking- ton road, and the extension of the Wash- ington and Georgetown tracks at the west- ern terminus to the Aqueduct bridge. In addition to these there was a project fur the construction of a union passenger sta- tion at the north end of the bridge for the accommodation of the passengers of the Washington and Georgetown and Great Falls lines and other roads that may here- after be built terminating at that point. Therefore at a recent meeting of the Sen- ate committee on the District it was de- termined that an omnibus bill should, if possibie, be put through the Senate, and thrown into conference in time for settle- ment before adjournment. This was accom- Plished yesterday evening, and these de- sired objects have all been obtained by the passage of the bill H. R. 677 ‘To amend the charter of the Washington and Great Falls electric railway,” with sundry com- mittee amendments, including an entirely new section, which is exactly similar to the bill reported by Mr. McMillan to the Senate some days ago, amending the charter to the Eckington road. The bill, as agreed to by the Senate, pro- vides that the Great Falls road shall begin at a passenger station on the square bounded by Prospect, 35th, 36th and M streets northwest, and shall run thence westerly along Prospect street to or near 38th street northwest, thence northwesterly on land to be acquired by the company, to and across Foxhall road. Thence the road 1s to take the route provided in the original charter granted by the act of July 2), 1802, which gives a right of way south and west of the Conduit road to the falls. The road shall be completed to the boundary of the District and have cars running regularly within twelve months, and to Cabin John creek within eighteen months after the pas- sage of the act. Passenger Station. The new section 3 of the bill provides for a union transfer station and for the exten- sion of the Washington and Georgetown tracks. The language follows: “That in order to accommodate the street railway traffic that may converge at or near the Aqueduct bridge, under authority granted or to be granted by Congress, a passenger station is hereby authorized. Such station shall have ample provision for the safe, convenient and comfortable trans- fer of passengers to and from the cars of the street railways using the same. All plans for such station and ‘ts nec approaches shall be subject to the approval of the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The said Commissioners shall have the power to settle any differ- ences which may arise between the com- panies using the said station as to com- pensation or rentals, or as to the aecessary regulations for the control of sald station. The said passenger station shall be con- structed and maintained as a union passen- ger station, for the use of street railways only, by the Washington and Georgetown Railway Company. Said station shall be lo- cated on land already owned or hereafter to be acquired by the aforesald company, which land shall be bounded oa. the north by Prospect street, on the east by a line drawn not less than 120 feet west ¢f the west line of 35th street, on the south Ly M street, and on the west by S6th street northwest. Within one year from the ap- proval of this act the said Washington ard Georgetown Railway plete tne said station and shall extend its tracks on M street northwest to a point | not less than 120 feet west of 35th street and thence in s: station; and thereafter the said company shall cease entirely to switch cars on M street northwest, “Sec. 4. That the street railway companies mentioned in this act, and hereafter all street railway companies in the District cf Columbia respectively, shall bear all the ex- penses that may be incurred by the United States in| making and insp = such changes to the water mains, 3 OF ap- paratus of the Washington aqueduct as nay be necessary by the construction or exten- sion of such several ro: and the Secre- tary of War is hereby authorized and di- rected to make ail regulations to carry into effect the provisions of t ig Eckington Extension. At the end of the bill Mr’ McMillan tn- serted a new section between old sections 4 and 5, to be known as section 5, amend- ing the charter of the Eckington road, ap- | proved July 5, 1894, by the substitution of the following route for the southerly term!- nus as provided in the former act: ‘“Be- ginning at the intersection of Sth street and Louisiana avenue, thenes by single track along Louisiana avenue to Gth street west; thence south on 6th street to B streat ONE ENJOYS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gerily yet promptly on the Kidneys, aiver and Bowels, cleanses the sys tem effectually, dispels colds, head- aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.

The occupation of the termi- nal facilities on the Capitol grounds shall at all times be subject to the direction and control of the architect of the Capitol. “That said company is authorized to In- crease its capital stock $00,000 for the purpose of enabling it to extend and equip its lines as provided in this act; that the time for completing the building of the ex- tension herein provided for rhall be ex- tended three months trom July 5, 1804." There was no debate whatever upon this composite measure, ani it was agreed to without the leas: objection. Mr. McMillan moved that the Senate request a conference with the House and when this carried the ; conferees were appointed as follows: Messrs. MeMillan, Harris and Faulkner. Mr. Proctor secured the passage during the afternoon of the Senate bill 2131, to se- cure ‘uniformity in the names of minor streets in the two cities, The bill author- izes the Commissioners, in order to secure uniformity, to change the name of apy minor street or alley. ae Sa JAPAN'S MODERN ARMY. Chinese Troops and FE: Both Mu A. corres juipment Inferlor. pondent writes to the London Times as follows: “ The Chinese have sent an army to the Corea. But it would be as reasonable to match brave men armed with pitchforks against brave men armed with rifles as to pit, man for man, the Chinese in their present condition against the Japanese. “The Japanese are armed with the Murat magazine rifle, and there {s no better rifle in Europe. It is manufactured at the arsenal at Tokio; 1,200 men are employed, and 120 rifles turned out a day in times of peace. Its bore is .303, the same as our Lee- Metford; it is sighted to 1,200 meters; it carries ten rounds in the magazine on the Remington principle; the bullet is lead, coated with copper—that metal belag plen- tiful in Japan. The Geneva convention } no jurisdiction here, so the copper bullet is not tabooed. “The Japanese cavalry are well equipped, though, to our ideas, badly mounted, but they are thoroughly aware of their short- comings, and are taking steps to remedy them by degrees. The horse they are mounted on is, after all, the horse of the country, end no animal could be better adapted for service in Japan or the C he same implies to the artillery h which are simply fourteen-hand ponie: strong and hardy to a marvclous degree.

They are precise and steady, and the officers know their work and how to teach it. In the cavalry swords were carried on the saddle until the em- peror one day remarked it, and said that only gentlemen wore swords, and the horse 1s not a gentleman, so swords are now worn on the body. “One great feature In all the barracks {s the gymnasium. The men are thoroughly trained in this department, and some of the feats I saw performed by cavalry re- cruits of the guard at their annual general inspection last year would have done credit to any circus. “Their wonderful neatness, completeness and regularity !s what struck me most. Everything was tidy, everything was ready, everything was there. Their only trouble was the wearing of European boots. Men who had all their lives been accustomed to straw sandals having to thrust their feet into hard leather boxes, so to speak, very soon went lame. A movement was on foot a few months back to shoe them with leather sandals, which obviate the evil. | Whether this has been done or not I can- not tell. But this is the only thing I no- ticed that required alteration after a very Are ris and line. ‘The troops they remind me most of are our Indian Goorkhas, and of all the native and colonial troops that I have seen—and I | have seen most of them—I would, next to Goorkhas, prefer a regiment of Tapanese.
