‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1896. 3 PLAINT OF THE POPULIST PARTY Chairman Washburn Issues a Statement to the Voters. Yet Claims That There Is a Chancz for Bryan to Reach the White House. CANNOT SWALLOW DEFEAT. Ridiculous Aspersions Cast Upon the Intelligent Citizeans Who Pre- vented Repudiation. CHICAGO, Irn., Nov. 4.—The following statement of the Presidential situation was issued to-night by Chairman Wash- burn ot the Chicago heaaquarters, Peo- ple’s party committee: To the voters of the United States: Our fa- cilities for receiving the election returns are equal toany. We know from private advices and the returns up to date that McKinley is not elected. On the other hand, the latest re- turns justify our claim that Mr. Bryan is elected. Itisoneof the peculiarities of the Republican enterprise that they always claim everything in sight a few hours after election. In 1876, as well as in 1884, it was not known for three or four days which candidate had | won. Although the early returns indicated Republican success, Democratic followed. Again, four years sgo, the early returns fa- vored Harrison’s election, while the subse- quent ones elected Cleveland. This year the early returns favored McKin- ley because they came from the Eastern and Middle States, and from the cities of other States, while the returns from the South and West were withheld so as to stampede public sentiment that McKinley was elected, whether he was or not, and thus create sentiment in advance which would operate to his advantage in case the election was contested, while on the other hand, had the first returns an- nounced Bryan’s success and a contest re- sulted, there would be an uprising of the people through fear of a repetition of the Tilden episode. We have positive evidence that the Republi- can National Committee have wired their State committees to claim certain States which are in doubt, fearing that the subsequent re- turns might indicate Bryan's election. We shall soon vigorously press the question, viz.: “If itis not for ‘the purpose of manipulating ihem why are they held back?” We want the American people to be patient and calm and to wait for the official returns and pay no atiention to the false reports sent ot by manipulsting committees. We also feel jusufied in assuring the people that if Bryan is clected he will be seated. The will of the people will never again be defeated through the manipulation of returning boards to capture the Presidency. The politi- cal crime of 1876 will be resisted if repeated. The reiurns this evening indicate that Mr. Bryan will carry all the States west of the Missouri River and south of the Ohifo and Potomac, which, without Maryland and Deia- ware, make 209 votes. Delaware is stiil in doubt, but we are sure of one elector, which makes 210. Add to tnis Michigan, fourteen vot:s, or Indiana, filteen votes, and it 1nsures ’s election. The returns frem both these States row show positive gains for Bryan in all of the suburban districts. The claims of | the Republicans are basea upon the reporis of the cities. Now thatwe are hearing from the the situation is rapidly changing. | The R-pubiicans are becoming alarmed and the silverites triumphant in the belief that Bryan wili be our next President. > GEORGE F. WASHBURN, | Chairman Chicago Branch People’s Party, National Executive Committee. 22 Eug ruboo POPULISTS DIE HARD. Hoping Against Hope That Bryan Will Win Out. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4.—Popu- list headquarters were quiet to-night, but a number of hopeful followers of Mr. - Bryan were there and declined to give up the fight. A statement was given out to the effect that Bryan had carried every Southern State except West Virginia, * Maryland and possibly Kentucky, but he thought the latter State would swing into line. © Bryan, it was said, had carried every State west of the Missouri River except California, Oregon and North Dakota, all of which it is claimed would probably go for him on later returns. Indiana and Minnesota were in doubt and if they went for Bryanit would elect him. The silver men, it was claimed, woula have over 150 members in the House of Representatives and it was absolutely cer- tain that the silver men would control the next Senate. It was further stated that the Populists had clecied over twenty Congressmen, have secured Governors in probabiy three Etates and certain of this in two or three more States. At Democratic headquarters Senator Faulkner by no means conceded Bryan's deseat. He was still hopefal that later re- turns would prove favorable to the Demo- cratic candidate. He was anxiously await- ing returns from Kentucky, which would change :he complexion of the situation, SRR LOYALTY AND HONESTY. Verdict of the American People | Approved by the “Thunderer.” LONDON, Esxc., Nov. 4.—The Times will say to-morrow: The people of the United States have earned the congratu- lations of the world on the proof they “have given of loyalty to National honor. The whole stock in trade of self-seeking politicians and flatterers has been spurned and swept asiue by the plain honesty and .. simple common-sense of the countrymen of Washington and Lincoln. ‘While we recognize to the fullest extent the admirable temper displayed in this severe trial we are not altogether sure that McKinley’s victory can be regarded as finally quenching the Bryanite move- ment. The elements of discontent to which Bryan appealed wili continue to exist and even increase, but much depends upon | the use which McKinley and his party make of their unique opoortunity. A blundering course of policy disturbing legislation and a disposition to use the non-party majority for partisan purposes would soon ‘produde a state of things which would encourage Bryanism to re- raise its head. The exuberant sense of relief arising from the removal of the great danger might produce an exaggerated eftect. Cleveland in 1892 had a majority about as great as that of M¢Kinley, yet the party which was then victorious is now divided, disorganized and desparring. It will Le to McKinley's interest not less the gold Democrats, whose support has contributed so much to his victory. The Daily News will say: Mr. Bryan |commit|ed the fatal mistake of attacking the credit of the United States. A man who runs amuck against the commercial stability of the Union simply breaks his bead against a wali. Mr. Bryan assailed the foundations of commerce, and the commercial community has given him his reward. Tune News’ article will ascribe McKin- ley’s enormous majority not to his own merits, but to the demeritsof his opponent, and will contend that he was not returned for the purpose of reviving the tariff, but to maintain the cold standard and a pure dollar. — JEALUUSY AMND DEAIHR. 4. L. Wife and Snook 1ders His Then Kiils Himself. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 4—A shock- ing tragedy took place at noon to-day in one of the most public places in the city. A. L. Snook, a well-known railroad man, shot and killed his wife at the eutrance to the Hotel Belmont, and then committed suicide. Snook was insanely jealous of his wife. Friends of the family say that he had no reason to suspect his wife of wrong. But he did so and made her life miserable by watching her and accusing ner of im- proper acts. E 5 ' To-day he was evidently lving in wait for her at the entrance to the hotel. He was noticed walking backward and for- ward in front of the place for a consider- able time. When his wife approached the place he hurriedly approached her and spoke in a iow tone to her, at the same time drawingz a pistol from his pocket. She turned from him as if endeavoring to escape, and at the same moment he fired. T1he ball struck her in the back of the head and she fell dead to tbe sidewalk, with the blood gushing from a ghastly wound. As soon as she fell and before any one could interfer>, Snook placed the revolver to his own head, and pulling the trigger fell dead beside the body of his wife. In both cases death was almost instan- taneous. FIELD EIGH1Y YEARS OLD, The Cali‘ornia Justice Congrat- ulated by Colleagues and Friends. 2 He Is Opposed to Allowing President Cleveland to Appoint His Succsssor. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4 —Asso- ciate Justice Stephen J. Field is receiving the congratulations of his colleagues and | his friends in general upon the fact that he rounas to-day his eightieth year of life. The distinguished member of the Su- preme judiciary has been nearly thirty- four years on the bench, and should he re- tain his position until next spring he will have served longer than any other Asso- ciate Justice, the longest term of service now on the records being that of Justice Story of Massachusetts, who has served thirty-four years. Justice Field has been in poor health for more than a year, but has persisted in giving close attention to his duties, ana it is said that no member of the Supreme Bench carries home more briefs than he does. A few months ago, when the venerable jurist was seriously ill, it was reported that he intended to tender his resigna- tion, but this was met by a prompt denial, and the sentiment was attributed to him that under no circumstances would he give President Cleveland the opportunity of appointing his successor. Justice Field has had a picturesque ca- reer. When only 15 years of age he was nursing cholera patients at Smyrna, whither he had gone with his sister, who was the wife of a missionary. Later he landed in San Francisco with $1 in cash, a diploma enutling bim to practice lew and sixty newspapers that he had brouezht with him from New York, the sale of which maultiplied his aollar many times over. His first venture into public life was when he was elected Siate Alcalde from the mining camp of Marysville. Next the same region sent him to the Calilornia Lerislature. Tn 1857 he was elected a Justice of the Supreme Court of California and became Chief Justice two years later. He was pro- moted 10 the Supreme Bench by President Lincoln, and has taken part in many his- toric hearings. He hLas been noted asa man ofinflexible will and when his mind is once made up he is immovable. —_— FATAL POLITICAL FIGHT. A4 Survivor of the Notorious Hatfleld Family Kills Three Men. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 4—News was received hers to-day from Williamson, W. Va,, to the effect that a fatal fight took place last night as the result of a quarrel over politics, Captain Hatfield, one of the participants in the old Hatfield-McCoy feud, which caused so many murders in that part of the country, killed Henderson Chamb rs and Jobn and Eliott Rutherford of Mater- van. Hatfield succeeded in escaping from the place. His act caused the greatest indig- nation. Pursuit parties were at once organized, and within a few hours 200 men were scouring the country in pursuit of the fugitive. . Hatfield is familiar with all the country in that part of the State, and there isa chance thathe may succeed in escaping from his pursuers. Should he ve over- taken it is not likely he will be captured alive, for he knows very well that there is Dittle chance that he would live long enough to be tried if he should fall into the hands of his enemies. ———— IHE HEADS OF FAMILIES.

THE NATION'3 PRESERVATION, Prosperous Citiz:ns Reminded of Their Duty to the Poor and Needy. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4.—Presi- dent Cleveland nas issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4, 1896. The people of the United States should never be unmindful of the gratitude they owe the God of Nations for his waichful care which has shielded them from dire disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and happiness. Nor should they ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite hearts their proneness to turn away from God’s teachings and to follow with sinful pride after their own devices. To the end that tnese thoughts may be quickened, it is fitting that on a day especiaily appointed we should join together in ap- proaching the throne of grace with praise and supplication. Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present month of November, to be kept and observed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer through- out our land. On that y let every people forego their usual work and occupation and assemble in their accustomed places of wor- ship; let them, with one accord, render thanks to the Kuler of the universe for our preserva- tion as a Nation and our deliverane: from threatened danger; for the peace that has dwelt within our boundaries; for our defense against disease and pestilence during the year that has passed; for the plenteous rewards that have followed the labors of our husband- men, and for all the other blessings that have been vouchsafed to us. And let us, through the mediation of him who has taught us how to pray, implore the forgiveness of our sins and a continuance of heavenly favor. Let us not forget on this day of thanksgiving the poor und the needy and by deeds of char- ity let our offerings of praise be more accepta- ble in the sight of the Lord. Witness my hand and the seal of the United States, which I have caused to be hersunto af- fixed. GROVER CLEVELAND.

Y., Nov. 4.—The Rus- sian Minister of Railroads, who for over a month has been engaged in an inspection of the transportation development of this country from San Francisco to Boston, sailed to-dsy for home on the steamer St. Louis. He was accompanied by his son, Prince Alexander Michaelovitch, and Colonei Chertkoff of the Imperial Guards. The Prince, who at one time worked in this country as a common laborer, has greatly enjoyed his visit, and he expects 10 repeat it more leisurely some time in the future. While as much secrecy has surrounded some of his conferences with raii and car manufacturers and others as marked the commercial transactions of Li Hung Chang yet it is understood that the visit of Prince Hilkoff will result in American manufacturers having a cousiderable hand in furnishing the supplies for the great Siverian railroad, and in the con- struction of which more rails will be laia in Russia during the next few years than in ail the rest of the worid combined. e THE C(ZAR’S VISIT PAID, Parisians Enriched to the Extent of Orer $16,000,000. PARIS, Fraxcg, Nov. 4—The Radical me mbers of the Chamber have decided to withdraw their intended interpellation of the Government concerning the ex- penditure of public moneys for the enter- tainment of the Czar without the anthority of tne Committee on Finance, the fact having been shown that the last budget contained a paragraph allowing extraor- dinary expenditures to be made for the reception of any foreign visitors to the republic. The storekeepers also have vrotested to the Radicals that any stir- ring up of the question of the entertain- ment of the Czar might militate against future visits of royal personages, and thus deprive them of considerab.e trade. That there 1s logic in this protest is evidenced by the Government return just issued, and which shows that the sum expended for hotel accommodations and in stores, places of amusement and else- where by visitors to Paris during the fetes in honor of the Czar exceeded $16,000,000. e Effectof MoKinley’s Election on Business LONDON, ExN6., Nov. 4 —Walter Byrnes of the American banking-house of Morgan & Co. is authority for the statement that enormous orders have been received for the purchase of stocks of merchandise, many of which have been pending the election of McKinley for execution.

Therefore the election has been awaited S TR To Solve the Armenian Question. LONDON, Exa, Nov. 4—The Rome correspondent of the Daily News claims to haveauthority for the statement which he telegraphs tothat paper that the pow- ers are working actively to solve the Ar- menian question, and that anyhow a pro- visional solution will be to" recognize a military occupation as the only remedy. It has not yet been agreed which power will undertake the occupation. TR T The Campaign in the Soudan. CAIRO, EcYPr, hov. 4.—General Sir H. H.

A Rare and Radiant Collection of Ties Brought From Kansas City. - James Waldere Kirk, the king of the dudes, oftentimes spoken of as the suc- cessor to Barry Wall, because of the unique and varied assortment of raiment that he possesses. isat the Palace. The king brought along with him from the East thistime tnree trunks packed to their utmost with clothing. In the varied col- lection are neckties of such extraordinary patterns that they are the wonder of all who have beheld them. Some are emerald, cardinal and turquoise in color. Others are checked and criss-crossed with black and white, making them iook much like the trousers of a gambler in 2 mining camp. However, Mr. Kirk is very discreie in the use of bis selection of ties. He kuows when to use one to fit the occasion, so he says; but probably the greatest thing that he brought with him here was a unique garment which he calls the Li Hung Chang coat. It isa brown overcoat and is big enough for two gentlemen of the size of Kirk. “This coat is my latest creation,” said he last night at the Palace. *“It is made of a beautiful seal-brown marerial, the cloth being a special color and finish. It is made to fit v ery loose, in fact so loose that it might be able to contain two or three men of my size. The shoulders are bulit out two in ches wider than would be required for an ordinary coat. Thisis to carry the immense back or to produce the Li Hung Chang effect, as it might be termed. “There is a perfect fit over the shoulder-, but two large folds start middle-ways and hang in perfect fuiness to the bottom of the coat. *‘Each of the folds in the back contains about twelve inches of cloth extra above the amount required for the reguiar proportions of tie back. The seams of the coat are overlaid with a strap of the same material half aninch wide, which produces a beautiful effect. The bottom of the sleeves are stitched six times and of the same width as the strap. This gives them the appearance of a finished cuff. “You will see I have pockets galore— four outside and four inside, but the oui- s.de pockets are not for use. They are all put on as a patch witn flaps. A coat of this design would look very unfinished without them. But to stuff a lot of things into them would make the coat hang very badly. Therefore Idon't use them. The inside pockets can be used, as they are so made that they hang separate from the cloth or lining. “The .cloth was made by an English woolen manufacturer and sent direct to me and then constructed by my tailor, as you see. “I take great pleasure in stating that I never had a garment made in New York that was superior to this. ‘*There is no veiy gun change in other garments, except that the trousers are about an inch smaller, both on knee and bottom. The cu away and sack coats are about two inches shorter, *The double-breasted waist coat is much in fayor now, especially in sack suits made of cloth that carrics a decided stripe. “In trousers checks cn shepard plaids are essentially the tning for afternoon, worn with frock coat and silk hat. “The swell traveling suit is a shepard plaid double-breasted coat and waistcoat; cap to match. ““The round-toed shoe is just beginning to make its appearance out here, aithough i yredicted and adopted them two years ago. ‘“Ahonz the scarf-ring which I brought into use a year ago. I have several of the most popular ones. They are set with rubies and diamonds and emecrald and diamonds. Fancy waistcoats are very popular, especially for driving or bicy- cling. I usually wear red while cycling.” Mr. Kirk is only lacking in the yellow jacket und three-eyed peacock feathers of the Chinese statesman and diplomat to make him bear a striking resemblance 10 him. The Li Hung Chang overcoat has been observed by guests of the Palace with many outward signs of admiration. The ties, which have been likened unto the coat of Joseph because of their numer- ous colors, were imported from Kansas City. The overccat, trouserings and other clothing are from that city and the East. SPECKER REED AT PALD ALTO A Few Words to Students by the Man From Maine. Seeks to Show the Distinction Between Learning and Wisdom. NO REFERENCE TO POLITICS. “One Shculd Make Use of All He Learns in This Exceedingly Practical World.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cawn, Nov. 4.—Stanford was visited for a short time this morning by the Hon. Tom Reed. He addressed a few remarks to the students, but not a word as to politics nor the elec- tion. Mr. Reed and his party drove to the quadrangle in the Palo Alto 'bus. The students enthusiastically encircled 1t and when some one asked, “W:at's the matter with Tom Reed?” the hearty response, “He's all right, you bet, every time!” showed that Maine’s favorite son held a favored position in the hearts of the Stan- ford students. Seeing that his audience would be sati fied only with some expression from him he kindly consented to give a brief, in- formal talk. When introduced by Dr. Jor- dan Mr. Reed dismounted from the 'bus and said: “I see that presidents of universities, in common with students and others, do not fail 1o entrap the unwary traveler. I did not intend to speak, but when in the com- pany of college students college recollec- tions crowd upon us. There is one thing I would like to impress upon you, and that is the difference between learning and wisdom. In'passing through China- town in San Francisco I noticed that those who had “the necessary tools for their trade were considered thoroughly educated. Universities fit us for the affairs of life; they furnish the tools. Un- less use is made of them there is mental degeneration. Wisdom is simply digested learning. This is an exceedingly practical world and one should make use of all he learns.” —_— HIGH GLEE AT PALO ALTO. Much Enthusiasm Over the the Election. STANFORD UGNIVERSITY, Cavr., Nov. 4.—Students here are generally rejoicing over the result of the election, though the Bryan men are wearing ill-concealed signs of their disappointment at the defeat of their candidate. Great crowds of students filled the gymnasium to receive the re- turns, and as the fignres were thrown on the screen the McKinley enthusiasts had food for their cheers and yelling, while the Bryan supporters were in a most quiescent state, and managed to create a noise only when the returns from Montana began 10 come in. A straw ballot taken in the hall of all those present showed that the McKinley followers outnumbered the Bryan shout- ers by fifty votes, and that the sixth amendment, if left to that single assem- bly, would carry by but five votes out of nearly 160. : This moraing Dr. Jordan, in addressing one of his classes, expressed his pleasure and satisfaction at the result of t.e elec- tion, and said that a statement made by Hon. Tom Reed to him during the fore- noon expressed his own opinion exactl In substance thestatement was as follow. “*This great victory of Republican vrinci- ples is not the result of a contest between North and'South, or East and West, nor a match of classes, nor even a victory of Republicans over true Democrats, for true Democrats have shown their loyalty and patriotism as clearly as the Republicans; { but it is an overwhelming decision on tho part of the.commercial paople of this country, that they don’t want its business interfered with nor its prospects subjected to experiment.” Professor Ross was completely astounded at the result of the election and wouldn’t believe Bryan defeated, especially in Iili- nois and Indiana, until this morning. LA AT DK, JORDAN’'S EASTERN TRIP. Will Confer With the Fresident on Bering Sea Sealing. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL, Nov. 4.—Dr, Jordan leaves to-morrow evening for the East, when he will personally pre- sent a statement to members of the Presi- dent’s Cabinet in regard to the sealing in Bering Sea, and sugeestions, from a sci- entific_standpoint, of the disastrous re- sults of such sealing. Dr.Jordan is hope- ful that the Government will at once ar- range with Great Britain for some method ing illegal sealing. He states nglish scientists and commis- sioners with whom he has discussed the Result of should be adopted immediately. It will be several weeks before Stanford Univer- sity’s president will be able to return to California. PORTLAND CEUOKS SENTENCED. Two Old Offenders Go to the Penilentiary . for Three Xears. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 4.—C. T. Moore and George Betz, two old San Quentin inmates, were sentenced to three years each in the Oregonian penitentiary to- day by Judge Stephens. They were con- victed of robbing OCliphant & Co.’s safe of $80. Both men were implicated in the wholesale theft of a large quantity of silks in California, and Moore was con- victed and sent up under the name of Martin. Betz was also in for robbery. They are two of the smoothest crooks on the coast and they seemed to bave money and friends, for every effort was made to disprove the charges against them. Robert Duvalle, another man not un- known to the detectives, was a member of the trio and an indictment waits for him, but he has not been caught. ALEAEIEA Frequent Burglarics at Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Carn, Nov. 4 —Dur- ing the absence of the Hawley family from their residence last night the atten- tion of the only occupant, a Chinese ser- vant, was attracted by the prying open of a window.

He is supposed to be the same person who burglarized the residence of Dr. McTain- Jey a short time ago. Burelaries are be- coming frequent of late, but it is supposed the officers have a clew to the guilty party. L Found Dead in a Sacramento Hotel.

De Levereux opposed Otis because of his paper’s adverse views on silver, the colonel having previously written him up. PROSPERITY BAS COME Effect of McKinley’'s Election on the Pennsylvania Rail- road SHops. More Days ani Hours of Work for Idie Men and a Considerab'e Advance in Wages. PITTSBURG, PA., Nov. 4.—The Leader publishes the following this afternoon: For about three years the skilled work- men employed in the Pennsylvania Rail- road’s shops, between Pittsburg and Al- toona, have been working only five days in the week and only eight hours a day.

As a re- sult 600 idle men, who had anticipated the turn of affairs, were on hana and went to work. To-morrow the order will go into at the Walls and Altoona shops. Mr. Chandler, ceneral secretary of the road’s department of the Y. M. C. A., stated that the above order isthe effect of yesterday’s election. Inquiry at the office of General Agent Robert Pitcairn failed to secure a contirmation of the report. The informa- tion, they say, must come from Altoona. USILS MURDERYST:fY Mudeett, the Recluse, Supposed to Have Had Much Hidden Wea 'th. Two Suspects Closely Watch d—Ar- rival of Offic:rs From Ukiah Acuxiously Awaited. TUSAL, Can, Nov. 4.—Election day pre- vented the Sheriff and officers leaving Ukiah for the scena of the Mudgett mur- der and incendiarism, although urgent appeals were made by telegraph to county officers to come to Usal, as additional evi- dence had been secured against suspected parties. Itisaninety-mile overland drive from Ukiah to Usal, and developments will be necessarily slow until the officers reach the scene. Two persons are sus- pected, and the nature of the evidence is such that an immediate arrest will follow. It i3 impossible to break the discreet cau- tion of the residents of Usal, who hold that the leastincaution or reflection would put to flight the parties they believe to be guilty of the crime. Additional evidence bearing on the mo= tive of the crime was made more clearly evident yesterday when a careful search of the hali-burned house revealed every article of value missing. The tact that Mudgett was generally known to possess wealth has made his murder nogeneral surprise to old residents of the. com- mamty. The murdered man lived a sort of a recluse life, confining himself closely to his own immense domains. The rev- enue from his large cattle and sheepranch was being hoarded and is believed to have been principally concealed about the place. He employed no essistants to aid im in condueting the vastamount of care necessary to conduct his ranch. He was a diligent worker and kept constantly busy. The Coroner’s inquest will not be con- ducted until after the arrival of the Sheriff, when developments of a sensa- tional nature are expected to follow. FECIR COLLAPSE OF THE ST. PAUL. After Many Days’ Buffeting on the Moss Beach Rocks the Steamship Goes to Pieces. PACIFIC GROVE, Can., Nov. 4—The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer St. Paul, which ran upon the rocks at Moss Beach, near here, in August last and which has stood firm against the terrific force of the breakers that have thundered upon itin the interim, has at last gone to pieces. About 10 o’clock yes- terday morning at high tide the waves dashed upon the dismantled hull with such furry that it could not endure the strain longer and collapsed. The rocks and beach about the scene of the wreck are strewn with wreckage. Parts of the cabin and deck fixtures, pieces of chairs and table which were leit upon the vessel when she was abandoned, bits of wood and other things from the damaged cargo which remained aboarg, and even the parts of a surrey, are to be found upon-the beach. The masts and rigging and the bolts and heavy iron from the hull may be seen further out, and at low tide the engines and boilers are dis- cernible firmly fixed upon the points of rock that so long held the entire ship. Seamen hereabouts consider it wonder- ful that the St. Paul should have ra- mained intact so long, for the waves at the place where she lay ara at all times violent and the wind has a sweep of great force upon the land. Orowds of people have been to view the remains of the wreck to-day and bits of driftwood of all sizes and shapes have been carried away for mementoes. NEW TO-DAY.
