One body la ashore. 1 the man having been brought in alive. but he died soon afterward. The bodies of the other four have not been recovered.

( The Abbott Ilea well inshore and only . * abort distance from the wreck of the , flpanlah schooner Remedlos Pasqual which came aahore on January 2. Jamea B. Hawklna was Captain of the Abbott J. H. Pierce was first mate ( and James Butler second mate. There were a heavy sea and storm at > Sight, when, between 10 and 11 o'clock. ! the beach patrol made out that some sort of vessel was ashore on the outer bar. Efforts were made to go to her rescue, but although three life-saving crews tried to work out boats, they failed to accomplish their purpose. Af- , ter the boat bad been dashed bark on the beach several time*. to tbe great Hw**- Af ?ho mon fit. ! tempt was abandoned. While part of the men at the station j bad been trying: to get the boat out the ' remainder had made the gun ready to j try to get a line across the vessel If ' she worked close enough in. Toward ! morning it became apparent that tbe craft had worked over or through the outer bar and had come closer inshore. She could be made out tossing high on the waves at times. Then the gun was tried. Several shots were fired and it was almost certain that they had reached, but there was no response from the vessel and there was nothing to do but wait. Wreckage was coming ashore stead* Uy. and from its character the Ufe-savers knew that tbe vessel was going to pieces. Tbe heavy rain whieh was falling. aided by a change in the tide, began to flatten tbe sea toward daybreak, and as the morning advanced tbe life boats were made ready once more. When it became light enough to see. it appeared that there would be no need for their use. The barkentine bad been dismasted and was even more completely wrecked by her few hours' pounding than is the bark close by af* ter three weeks' buffeting. For a time nn living thine II iuv?v "Mf "v on the Abbott, but a little later amid the wreckage tbe life-savers made out what appeared to be a larger piece, and j It waa evident that It contained men. When the lfe-savera. after a hard pull, reached the raft they found five unconscious men. They were lashed fast. The Ave were taken into the surf boat and landed at Ship's Bottom LifeSaving Station. Their identities, as well aa tbe names of those missing, were ascertained from papers in the possession of Captain Hawkins. Besides the Captain those brought shore were Second Mate Butler. Otto Beag. James Burns and Frank Leaven. Leaven, besides suffering from cold and exposure like the rest, was badly bruised and his ribs were broken, apparently by falling wreckage when the masts gave way. He lived only n short time. The men lost were First Mate Pierce. Steward Charles Palmer. James Brandt and Frank Carter. "YOU LIE." A WOMAN SAO.

C.?Just before the idjournmcnt of the Senate a few days ?go, there was a little scene that will be memorable for many day*.

Senator Spooner compiled and the Kansas Senator went on to explain that the measure was one that had l>een inadvertently vetoed by the Pretddent. and the committee that bad hud it In charge bad reported it unanimously. This extraordinary statement caused a number of Senators to prick up their pars, and Senator 8pooner and Senator Hoar pressed Burton closely with question after question until they had drawn from him the fact that the bill was practically identical with the vetoed bill, but the committee of which Burton was a member had made a few nominal changes so that it could not be called the same bill, and so require a two-thirds vote to pass it. Then Senator Hoar took occaslou to lecture the Kansas Senator on the error of the proceedings. Burton interrupted with a remark referring to the President's interest In legislation before Congress, and this switched the venerable Massachusetts A# ln*A a Knnillr Afl thn Pppfil. kJVUtl 1VI VU IU(V u uuiiiii,. . . dent's duty with regard to the deliberations of Congress. He said that the President was constantly being reported In the press, whether truly or not he could not say. as trying to influence legislation. Hardly a week or a day passed that he did not read that certain Senator* had been called to the White House to be consulted by the President in regard to some measure pending before Congress. Only a few days ago a certain Senator, and Mr. Hoar turned and looked directly at 8enator Aldrich, bad been reported to hare been at the White House to talk over trust legislation with the President. Mr. Hoar said that the President should not meddle with the work of Congress. It was his duty, if be thought it necessary to communicate his opinions and such information as he might hare about matters of legislation. in a message, and there he should stop. Not until Congress had acted and sent to the President the re suit or its deliberations in iue suujie <u the act duly adopted should the Presi. dent have anything to say about any measure before Congress. The Senator's language was caustic and fearless, and was evidently the result of some prolonged thought on his part The affnlr caused some ex* cltement for a few moments. LORENZ PRAISES AMERICA.

"American physicians represent progressiveness." Dr. Lorenz continued, "while the English physicians are extremely conservative.

M?a Who Imp la tti* Lln? tor RliKm MIIm KMilltd te Sbtn la tk? Collection. Loudon.?The poor of London are not starring in silence this winter. It is said that the distress is far greater than for many years, and certainly the streets give evidence of the truth of this statement. Great processions of the unemployed march through tb,? principal streets every day under red banners. Large detachments of police act as escorts for these shivering, unkempt hordes. They are flank?*d by thirty or forty half-clad individuals, who shake wooden collection boxes under the noses of the spectators. The principal procession assembles every day at Mile End. Whitechapel. under the auspices of the Social Democratic Federation. Each man receives a ticket entltMng him. if he walks sixto?n mllp< in th? line to Hvde Park and return, to a share In the money taken up in the collection boxes. These shares average thirty-seven cents. The majority of the men in these processions are dock laborers. Msny of them are completely exhausted at the end of the march, and some collapse and are taken to the hospital. The past week has been one of the bitterest winter weather London has ever experienced, and it is not surprising that the half-fed. half-clad men are unable to bear the strain of the march in the plercin? freezing wind. During the greater part of the distance the marchers are silent, and nothing is heard except the rattling of the cash boxes. Now and then, however. the 1000 or 2000 men join in this chorus: "The poor, the poor, are ever In the way: The poor are starving day by day. They walk along the King's highway. The starving poor of old England." . The procession stops on Sunday at | several cnurcnes. wuere as many as possible of the paraders listen to sermons. and Incidentally try to get warm.

Sandy Hook. The gun was tired three times In the presence of several hundred army officers, and Congressman Gillette. of Massachusetts, a member of the Appropriation Committee of the House. The three tests were marked by the wonderful accuracy with which they fulfilled the mathematical calculations of the army experts who have had charge of the gun's construction. The three shots also proved that the special ! smokeless powder made for sixteen- j mttta l???t hihm ncr?ttr<itr>lv nre- ! I pared. j General Crozler said the tests showed | the sun was an absolute success, and proved that sixtecn-lnch suns could he furnished whenever the country want* i ed them. Whether any more will he j built Is a question. Congressman Gillette and several officers present doubted that any more ever would be built, as a numlter of smaller suns are con- . sidered uior? effective than one enor- j mo us weapon.
