On Board flic Steamer President
Grant, in the English Channel, by
Witch- s Telegraiplt to London, Dec.
9.—Mrs. Taft, wife of the American
secretary of war, joined her hve'oand
on board this steamer early Monday
at Boulogne. On the trip out on a
barber tender the party had au ex
ceedingly narrow escape Ttum wreck
and disaster.
Mrs. Taft, Mrs. George Post Wheel
er, wife of the second secretary of tho

other passengers for t lie Pres!-It" 1 .
Grant, boarded tho tender Holland on
| Sunday night within the harbor works
I at Boulobiie. Very heavy seas were
running outside and these delayed the
departure of the tender, but at 1:30
Monday morning It being supposed that
the President Grant was insldq the
breakwater, the Holland started out
to take the passengers alongside. Soon
after leaving it was discovered that
the President Grant had not come In
side. Tho Hollan 1 got caught in tho
heavy seas. A giant wave broke her
rudder and the small tender drifted
heavily In tho darkness. She was
tossed about on tho waves like a cork
and rolled almost on her beam ends.
There was danger of capsizing or bo-
ing dashed upon the rocks. The pas-
scngi rs were thrown about in every
direction.
Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wheeler were
crouching In the captain’s cabin when
some fixtures above them came down
with a crash. Fortunately, they were
not Injured.
Near the lighthouse the Holland
managed to get a grip with an anchor
and this Improved- the situation.
Repairs were hurriedly made. The

they held out no hope beyond a prom-

King Oscar was. called the ablest
pit,.i- of t.tu' Him month century, and
tlie most democratic king-ihat ever

lieutenant. In 1S9G he received the
appointment as inspector of me mili
tary schools, and 'in 1898 lie was made
ft full general. Between the
188-1 and 1891 Gustave fille t the oflRo

the radical majority in the Norwegian
storthing, and in retaliation the sto.th-
i„ g took away from him a >enili ai
