NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—Captain Albert M. Willis and six men, crew of the | schooner Clayola, were rescued this morn- ing by the steamship James S. ‘Whitney from the dismasted wreck of the vessel, floating, a veritable icebers, in Long Island Sound. In a mass of ice on deck the famished crew had cut a hole with axes and hud- dled together for mutual warmth. They | passed two days of terrible suffering. The | Whitney’s captain saw their signal for | help and sent a boat crew to their rescue. Getting into the sound early on the | morning of February 4, the Clayola en- | countered a strong northwest gale and being unable to make headway against it | the schooner anchored at 7 o'clock in the | evening, about two miles southeast of | Faulkner Island. The geale continued throughout that night and increased in fury the next day. It was bitterly cold, but none suffered much except the man |on the watch, the others remaining be- |low. Toward evening. on February 5, the gale had increased so much that the schooner began to drag her anchor. An- | other was sent overboard, but even this | diu not stop the vessel, and she was | driven gradually southeast for several | miles. Waves continually broks over her | decks and, freezing as they rell, two small ;n;r‘;un!nlns of ice began growing fore and aft. The foremast was carriel away at § o'clock, on Wednesday morning, and heavy seas broke the hatches. A flood of water poured into the hold and froze there, driving the crew from their quar. ters and destroying all thelr provis'ons. | The water in the hold and the ice forming | on the deck sank the schooner gradually | until the deck amidship was almost on a line with the water. Ice mountains grow- |ing on the deck made the schooner top heavy and to prevent her rolling over the | mainmast was cut away at 9§ o'clock, | Wednesday night. This lessened the rpii of the wreck somewhat, but in the tre- mendous seas running it was almost fm- possible for the men to keep their feet gn _x};ehllce-cga;;d ded:. dThe hlerror of that night an e next day }torzet. ¥ they will never | —_— NEW SECRET SERVIC] ks |1'holnu B, Foster ' arives n‘lfi‘f«'fi‘“’&m | Washington to fill an appointment the reasury Departm P S o L fer to ter takes the place vacated by the trans: ‘Washington of Percy l(onuaery. ————— SUIT FOR INFRINGEMENT.— Jackson filed a suit in the United :en't: qlzi cuit Court yesterday against panded Metal and Fire Proofing recover ua.mtdmn‘u for alleged infringe- ment of “patent | Turner could do was to land lightly on TROOPS HELD 0 STOP THE PRIZEFIGHT Second Ohio Regiment Is Notified It May Be Needed by Governor LIMA, O.,‘Feb. 8.—Cclonel Ream of the Second Ohio Regiment, who returned to- night from Cleveland, where he has been sitting on a court-martial, savs he has been notified that his regiment will be dalled upon to g0 to Cimncinnatl in case troops are used to prevent the Jeffries- Ruhlin fight. CINCINNATI, Feb. S.—With the excep- tion of Willilam A. Brady, who did not arrive from New York until to-night, ali the witnesses have been heard on the 2p- plication_for an injunction against the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest, seheduled to be given here next Friday night. Counsal for the Saengerfest Athietic Club are not sure to-night that Brady will be called In any event, counsel ci both sides have agreed to limit their arguments so thatthe case will be closed to-morrow night. Judge Hollister Is not expected to reserve his decision longer than next Monday, but there is no assurance un that point. The star witness to-day was Billy Mad- den, who was on the stand most of the forengon and all of the afternoon. He in- sisted that boxing was in the interest of health, as well as of skill. He sald the training of boxers was simply an exer- cise for the protection of health, so that they would be in such condition as to be immune from Injury. Madden insisted that there had been no prizefights by champions in recent vears, and that Jeffries, Runlin, Childs and Mar- tin belong to a later school of scientific boxers and that none of them had ever engaged in a prizefight. DAVE BARRY WINS FROM RUFE TURNER DENVER, Feb. 8.—Dave Barry, light- welght champlon of Canada, outpointed Rufe Turner, light-weight champion of the Pacific Coast, two to one, and was given the decision at the end of a ten- round go before the Colorado Athletic As- sociation here to-night. Although Turner is a clever fighter, Barry blocked and ducked away from his leads persistently. Repeated jabbing with his left to Turner’ mouth and eves caused those members to become badly_swollen and the blood to flow freely. Barry would vary his sys- tem with occasional punches to the heart or swings to the head which would dis- courage the colored boy. Turner tried per- sistently for a knockout by rushing to a clinch and bringing over his right to the w, but Barry’s head would fly around d away from the blow and the best the back of the Canadian’s head or neck. Turner stood Barry’'s left hand jabs until the seventh round, when he began to be dazed, and at the end of the eighth started toward Barry's corner. He would rouse himself at times, however, and fight viciously, but without much judgment and with but little effect except to tire himself. Barry’s clever defense was too much for the negro. Before the fight it was announced that the winner would fight Kid McPartland in two weeks from date, and that Fred Russell of California had been matched to fight Tom Sharkey some time in March.

Murphy, Homs From Manila, Complains to the Police. Jehn J. Murphy, who arrived from Ma- nila by the Sheridan last Wednesday, re- ported at police headquarters yesterday afternoon that he had been robbed of $197 while asleep in his room at the Cosmo- politan Hotel yesterday morning. He said he suspected his roommate, E. D. Hall, of having committed the crime. “I was first sergeant in Company F. Nineteenth Infantry,” said Murphy, “and ‘was honorably discharged on December 22 last. Hall was a corporal in the same company and received his discharge at the same time. We came here on the Sheridan and took a room at the Cosmo- politan Hotel. Hall was always hard up, and many times I have befrienacd him. I had $197 in my vest pocket, and when I got out of bed this morning Hall had gone out. 1 discovered that my money was gone and at once suspected him, as he wanted to go East, but did not have the money. I have searched for him all day, but have been unable to find him. I am left in a strange city without a cent and it is hard after serving twenty-one years in the army to be in such a plight.” Murphy gave a description of Hall and every erfort will be made to find him. Murphy would have sworn out a warrant for Hall's arrest, but there was no Judge in the Hall of Justice to sign it, —_——— COSTELLO’S ATTEMPT TO UNSEAT GRAHAM FAILS Judge Murasky Denies His Motion to Be Substituted as Plaintiff in Contest.

The stralned situation and threatened conflict between the rival racing associa- tions, the California Jockey Club and the San Francisco Jockey Club, has finally come to a focus. *‘Taking the bull by the horns,” the San Francisco Jockey Club threw down the gauntlet at Tanforan Park yesterday and by its action has un- doubtedly precipitated a struggie that will be fought with desperate stubbornness on both sides. At the conclusion of the third race the following terse statemept was posted on the announcement board of the San Mateo County track: “Racing will be continued Monday at Tanforan Park. On Saturday, February 16, San Francisco handicap, $10,000 added money."” This means they will race through the thirty-five days allowed under the terms of the prohibitory ordinance spassed re- cently by the Supervisors of San Mateo County, which provides that the racing season shall be limited to thirty-five days in any one year. This ordinance went into effect on the 5th inst.” At the expira- tlon of this period the San Francisco Jockey Club will be barred from racing in San Mateo County until February 5, 1902. Some took occasion to exult over the announcement, while the more staid and experienced followers of the turf were in- clined to look upon the impending con- flict with many misgivings for the future of the sport. The San Francisco handi- cap is open only to horses eligible to the Burns handicap, the stellar feature of the coming Oakiand meeting, and, of course, is aimed to detract from the latter as a drawing card. For some dayvs there have been rumors aficat that trouble was brewing between the two clubs, but was passed as idle gos- sip. The first intimation and first shot from the Tanforan camp as indicative that the battle was on was the partial distribution on Thursday of programme books for the week beginning February 11, announcing that the races would be decided at Ingleside track. This was in itself mystifying, as Ingleside track is still under the ban, no action of the Su- pervisors having as yet thrown wide its gates.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—The new develop- | ments to-day in connection with the ne- gotiations. touching the transfer of the control of the Carnegie Steel Company to J. P. M gnd his associates were, first, that Mr. Carnegie is to receive $1500 for each $1000 of his stock: second, that minority holders who desire to sell will recefve the same ‘erms as those given to Mr, Carnegie; third, that the present stage of the negotiations contemplates the formation of a new corporation, whose bonds will play a large part in the price to be paid Mr. Carnegie, and fourth, the But yhse senouirenient (o connection with pending negoffations of an official | character, consisting of a statement by | E. H. Gary, president of the Federal Steel Company, confirming the news that J. P. Morgan is planning the acquisition of the properties of some of the largest iron and steel companies of this countr; The statement by Judge Ga however, throws little light upon the tails of the great transaction that Is now in progress, and it is probable that actual officlal in- formation in this respect will not be ob- | tainable until the deal is really completed. | The statement was, however, the subject of much guessing. It apparently confirms the general impression that ali the “Mor- gan companies’” are actively interested in the transaction and while nothing was said as to the American Steel and Wire Company, the fact that counsel of the company " attended the conferences be- tween President Gary and sr. Morgan seems to leave little doubt that the nego- tiations under way include the steel and wire consolidatio Incidentally it is hinted that interesting developments ma occur at the annual meeting of that corpo- ration on February 19. The ‘“Moore com- panies” are not generally supposed to have any interest in the financial side of the new deal, but it is believed that they will | be disposed to work in harmony with the | Morgan interests, at least while the mar- ket conditions continue favorable. It ap- | ears not unlikely, however, that the ennsylvania Steel’ Company may be § cluded in the “‘community of ownership’ plans, a theory that gains some color from ! the report that Pennsylvania Railroad | capitalists are to have an interest in the financing of the current deal. A feature suggesting that Mr. Carnegie had in mind the sale of his company at the time it was chartered in New Jersey is the peculiar clause in the charter pro- viding that the directors of the company may dispose of the property of the com- pany as an entirety. It is this clause in the charter that the men who are at pres- ent engaged in financing the deal are tak- ing advantage of. If, as now seems cer- tain, Mr. Carnegie is to receive $1500 for each $1000 share of his stock, the transfers In his case alone will be the eauivalent of nearly $130,000.000, inasmuch as the great steel magnate's holdings at present amount to $55,000,000. If, as seems prob- able, the minority holders are to be looked after by Mr. Morgan's syndicate the fin- anclering will involve the equivalent of HAYS TO CONFER WITH HARRIMAN IN NEW YORK Generally Believed He Will Be Asked to Retain Presidency of South- ern Pacific. NEW YORK, Feo. 8—The Commercial Advertiser says: President Charles M. Hays of the Southern Pacific is expected to reach New York to-morrow. He was summoned from San Francisco for the purpose of conferring with Mr. Harriman and President Burl of the Union Pacific. It is generally belleved that Mr. Hays will be asked to retain the presidency of the_Southern Pacific. With regard to recent rumors that H. E. Huntington did not sell his stock to the Harriman syndicate it may be stated that all of the Huntington holdings, as well as those controiled by Spever & Co., | were sold on equal terms. e Mutual Life in the Lead. NEW YORK, Feb.

Several male students at Wash- burn College were to have come to town | armed after midnight to personally take | part in the raid, and also to see that the | crusaders were not molested. The excite- ment at the meeting was intense, the women planning minutely for the raid. It was decided to saunter out at 3 o'clock in the morning and demolish every joint in town. Suddenly, when everything seemed sat- isfactorily arranged for a terrific on- slaught, Mrs. Nation began putting on her | wraps and said she was going home. In- stantly her followers were in an uproar. | Mingled with expressions of surprise at | her quick change of front came words of | condemnation. Finally one woman, who | had spent the greater part of the day col- | lecting hatchets and soliciting ald for the | crusaders, rushed to where Mrs. Nation | stood in the center of a group and shak- ing her fist in the Wichita lady's face, shcuted excitedly: “You are a_coward, Mrs. Nation: are a coward.” “I am not a coward,” said Mrs. Nation with emphasis; “I will go this minute you | A dozen voices were raised: “T'll go: I'll 20, and for a moment it looked as if an instant raid would result. But Mrs. Na- tion, soon collecting herself turned to bantering her followers, told them that | he was tired, “that the Lord did not wish | her to go to-night,’ ‘and without further ado_left the room. While the women waited to wonder at their leader’s latest move, Mrs. Nation, accompanted only by a reporter, made the rounds of the joints to satisfy herself that all were closed. The jointists, apparently anticipating a raid, had shut and barri- aded their doors, and at midnight Mrs. tion went to her home. KANSAS CITY. Feb.

But she hated the business in which they were engaged and meant to destroy it. She sald she had Just as much right to destroy the joints in Missouri as she had to destroy those of Kansas. She declared that she would not molest the joints of Kansas City, Mo., be- cause it is too large a city. “’I don’t propose to bite off more than I can chew.” she said. She made a bitter attack u%on the land- lords of the joints. saying that they are as bad as the jointists. At the conclusion of her speech many persons rushed forward to shake hands with her. Many of her photographs were sold at the door. At 9:45 she took a Burlington train for Des Moines, Iowa, She is accompanied by the five women who helped her wreck the Serate saloon at Topeka.
