He was washed ashore with a mass of wreckage. Captain Hamilton says that he was aiding his wife to pass through the sky light when he was washed away. He was nncon8cions till he found himself on the shore, and he supposed that he had been stunned. Lieutenant Rooke adds that he moved about naked on the sand till daybreak, when he saw seven Lascars in a cluster, all badly injured, and near by was an other injured Lascar who soon died. He sent one Lascar northward, while he himself went southward in search of a house. About 1 o’clock in the afternoon he' met a fiscal guard who returned with him to the scene of the wreck. The lieutenant was afterwards left alone in a niche in the cliff, while the guard went to Oldios to inform his superiors. The guard did not return till the fol lowing day. In the meantime, Lieu tenant Rooke, who had been strolling about entirely naked, met Captain Hamilton, who was in the greatest grist, Lieutenant Rooke eventually left him, going in another direction. Captain Hamilton soon met somebody fsom Peniche, who took him to the hospital. The cart, drawn by oxen, appeared at the scene of the wreck Saturday and conveyed Lieutenant Rooke and the other injured to Peniche, after two days and nights spent in open air, during which time bands of savages pillaged the steamer’s cargo and carried tons up the bills. The foregoing particulars were ob tained in a conversation that took place between a correspondent and Lieuten ant Rooke during the journey to the scene of the wreck with a number of government officials. Captain Hamilton tried to accompany the party, but faint ed and was left behind. CAUGHT IN ST.

Twenty or thirty men hastened to the questioner’s seat amid cries of “Put him out I” “Leave the meeting I” “You are no Christian!” etc. Several men who had started to eject the immersion- 1st ordered him out oc the bnilding. He answered that he had as good a right to remain there as any member, and was ready to defend it. Two men seized him by the arms and half a dozen more pushed and pulled until they got him into the aisle. There the immorsionist made a stand, braced himself and par tially freed himself with a violent strng gie, in which two members were thrown down on their knees and three seats were npset. The Spurgeonites shouted, “Shame,” and one of them a middle aged woman, caught an antagonist of the immereionist by the arm and screamed at him: “Are you a Christian'!' Do yon know how dreadful it is foi Christians to behave like this?" During the last struggle the immer- sionist lost his wind and he was unable longer to obey the exhortations of his friends that he should stick to his rights. He was shoved down the aisle, thrust ont and the door was closed behind him. Many women were sobbing bys terically when the struggle was ended, and some time passed" before perfect quiet was restored. Dr. Pierson, who was flushed and nervous while the immereionist was be ing ejected, recovered himself partly and began an address concerning hit. plans for the next ten montho.

Omaha, Nov. 3.—Governor Beyd has written a letter urging Democrats" to vote for the People’s Party candidates for electors. The letter, in part, is as follows: I have just returned from the east, where I was honored by a consultation with the national committee and the leading men of onr party with regard to the. best policy to be pursued in Ne braska this fail in dealing with the elec toral ticket. “They agreed with me that the wisest course would be for the Democrats to support Weaver electors, the object be ing to take Nebraska ont of her accus tomed place in the republican column. “I desire also to urge upon your at tention the necessity of Democrats giv Jog loyal support to the party nominees for the legislature, particularly so when there is a possibility of election. The next legislature will choose a United States senator and it is important that Paddock’s successor be not a Republi can and that Cleveland’s election during the next four years shall not be ham pered by a senate in opposition to him. Efforts are making in other states to re duce the Republican majority in the senate and Nebraska has splendid op portunity to do her share of the good work. • ' SHOT IN MEXICO. A Peculiar Story that Comes Third Party Leaders. Washington, November 2.—Editor Dunning, of the People’s party nation al organ here, has been talking about the election in a way that leads to the suspicion that a deal has been arranged between Weaver’s managers and the Republicana- How much influence or information Donning may have is hard to judge; but from what he says it is only fair to nferthatheat least thinks that, in case neither Cleveland nor Harrison bas 223 votes in the eleotoral college, enough of the Weaver electors will vote for Harrison to give him a majority and thus prevent the election from being thrown into the house of representa tives where Cleveland would be sure to be chosen. It seems incredible that the Republi cans and the People’s party leaders could be so desperate or fatuous as to enter into each a bargain with any expectation of being able to carry it ont; but no other in ference than such a deal is contem plated can be drawn from Editor Dun ning's uttsrances. Dunning, in an in terview, today, declared that the Third party would j*et the electoral votes of Nebraska, Kansas and the four silver states. But notwithstanding this he declared further that Harrison would he choseu President beyond any doubt, and that the election would not be per mitted to go into the House of Repre sentatives in the event. that both Har rison and Cleveland did not have the necessary 223 votes in the electoral col lege to ohoose either of them This means that enough of the Weaver elec tors will yote for Harrison to make up his shortage and elect him should he fail to get 223 votes on popular ballot. In this connection it is interesting to recall the fact that onp of the electors on the Kolb tioket in Alabama, when on the witness stand the other day, de clared under oath that if he was elected he would vote for Harrison for Presi dent. Another thing whioh Dunning said was that in the event the People’s party held the balance of power in the next House of Representatives, its members would combine with the republicans and organize the House. This has lead to the surmise that the deal extends to congressmen, and that in exchange for populist votes for Harrison in the elec toral college, the republicans will allow the People’s party men in the house to dictate the organization of that body in the fifty-third congress, should the populists hare enough members to hold the balance of power. MORE WRECKAGE. Work of the Bis Storm Still Showing Up. One of Garxa’a Adherent* Shot by Order of t Court Martial. Monterey, Nov. 2.—Another of the followers of Garza, the revolutionist has paid the penalty of his life for taking up arms against the Diaz gov ernment. A. C.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 2.—The noted Yellowstone Kit has just made a wager of $1,600 on the floor of the Boston stock exchange that Cleveland is elected. MR. QUAY'S STATEMENT. B* Thinks Harrison's Election Is Assured Even Without New York. New York, Nov. 2.—A statement has been given ont from the Republican headquarters purporting to he the con elusions arrived at by Senator Mat Quay after a careful canvass of the situation in the presidential contest. He says “Coming here on the suggestions of some of tne gentlemen engaged in the management of the Republican cam paign who thought my expefienoe in 1888 might be useful in the solution of two or three pending problems, I have gone very carefully through the details of their labors np to the present time, and have canvassed with them their propositions for the future. Their ad ministration has been faultless. Tfieir correspondence satisfies me that the sen timent of the country is favorable to the continuance of Republican rule. Har rison will be elected. It is my belief that he will carry the states of New York, Indiana and Connecticut. Exist ing conditions are such that the electo ral vote of New York will elect himt without Indiana and Connecticut In' dianaaud Connecticut will elect him without New York." Chicago, Nov. 3.—It is reported that large white steamer has foundered near Maritou Island at the head of lake Michigan, and the missing vessel is be lieved to_.be the W. H. Gilcher, a sister boat to the Western reservo. She passed the straits the afternoon of the big storm, bound for Milwaukee. Reports from Milwaukee do not say she arrived there. Some weeks ago the Western Reserve, which, except the Gilcher, was the largest boat in the grain trade on the lakes, went down in lake Superior with all hands, the force of the waves having broken her in two. The Gilcher had a crew of about twenty-five men, and it is feared she has met the fate of her sister ship. If the Gilcher has really gone down, she must have met her fate either Friday or Sat urday last, as gales were very heavy at that time. Near the place where the wreckage, supposed to be from the Gilcher, was discovered, a big schooner was found bottom np, bnt wliat it was no one knows. Captains passing along the route lead ing by Manitou say they have seen great quantities of wreckage that conld only nave come from a large vessel, or several vessels. The vessel men who knew the Gilcher, and who saw the wreckage, are inclined to think it belonged to her. “When off South Maniton, on our way to Chicago,” said Captain George Dennis of the Shaw, “we passed through a large quantity of wreckage. Doors stools, windows, Sashes and a part of the steamer’s bridge, with the bell still npon it, were floating in the lake. The stanchions to the bridge, which were painted white, were of striped oak. The bridge was abont five feet wide, fore and aft, bnt I don’t know how long it was. The doors had a sash in the top panels. The glass of coarse was broken ont. We could see nothing which would give any indication of the name of the unfortunate craft. There Is not a particle of doubt that the wreckage was from some steamer which had foundered not far from there. Captain Dennis also reported that medium sized schooner, with its bilge and a part of its bottom showing, was on the beach of the island. Tt had cargo of hemlock - lumber. The bottom had been newly calked. I did not learn the nama of the schooner. The finding of the wreckage bv Shaw leaves no doubt that the wreckage is from some boat which went to the bot tom.

Scanlan, the IComedian, is Dead. New York, Nov. 3.—Sadie Scanlan, a well-known soubrette, sister of Wm. J. Scanlan, the popular Irish comedian, now an inmate of Bloomingdale asylnm, died suddenly at her home, No. 322 East 123d street. Miss Scanlan, or as she was known in private life, Mrs. George Brennan, had been confined to her bed with a severe cold since last Thursday. Her husband, who is an actor in her company, left her bedside at 6:30 o’clock, stepping into an adjoining room, where he had been bnt a moment when he was surprised to hear his wife singing softly to herself. He listened and caught the familiar hymn of “Nearer My God to Thee.” The actress sang it through unfalteringly to the end, her voice softening and dying away until at the last word its melody gave place to a strange rattle. Mr. Brennan hurried to her side. His wife was dead. Sadie Scanlan was horn at Hartford Conn., in 1867, and was one of four children, none of whom survive bnt the demented comedian. She was educated at Chicago and studied music under Professor Franchelli, formerly music director at the Casino. Miss Scanlan was a little above me dium height, with a very graceful fig ure. She was not unlike ljer brother in features, bnt her hair was golden and womlh tight coils around a well shaped head. Her devotion to her brother was touching, and the morning after her successful appearance at the People’s Theater she hurried to Bloomington to tell the story of her triumph to the stricken comedian, who was still able to rejoice with her. Miss Scanlan, or Mrs. Brennan, leaves one child, a 4-year-old boy. She was a great favorite with south ern theater geers, and had just return ed from a very successful tour through the southern states.
