The steamer David has brought to Colon eighty passengers and members of the crew rescued from the sinking steamship Taboga. They tell a narrative of the sea with stories of heroism and unusual experiences. The Tabo?gta was wrecked off the coast of Los Santos while upon a return trip from Pedregal to Panama City. Twenty-three persons are known to have lost their lives The captain, an Englishman, name Campbell, who was the last man to leave the ship and live, and the pilot, Matthews, are under arrest and Incommunicado in Panama City. To a mistake by Matthews is ascried the disaster. One of the owners of the vessel Prospero Pinel ojected to a change of course, and said there seemed to be breakers ahead. "It Is only a scnooi or saraines, - was the reply of Matthews, and laughingly kept on his course. When the vessel hit the reef a great hole was torn in the bow. The women and children?there were an unusually large number of the latter aboard?were crowded into the main dining saloon. The ship began to fill rapidly, and hundreds of cattle and hogs aboard set up a wild clamor A herd of steers stampeded and struck a lifeboat which was just being lowered. Nearly every person in the boat was drowned, and many, as they fell, were crushed under the animals. Two passengers, however, found the cattle a godsend and rode ashore on the backs of bullocks. Four passengers refused to leave the ship, one of them, a brother of the French charge d'affalrs here, being picked up after floating for twelve hours upon a spar to which he clung when the vessel gave its final lurch The second engineer, Perivanchi, and a Cuban manufacturer, Gragorie, unable to swim, declared that they would not crowd the already heavily taxed lifeboats. When there was not a woman or child left on the ship __J U.,mn.n <U*l /%/>? ha ttllU UllUlUCl liutliau ircuih vuu -? i/u carried In lifeboats, they calmly lighted cigarettes and smoked until the Taboga settled. The body of neither has been found. According to statements made, there were but three life preservers on the craft. The story of indignation in Panama resulted in the arrest of the two officers mentioned immediately after they reached Panama City. Most of the victims were members of prominent families in the interior. HELP AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES. Jfr Purpose of Rill Introduced Hy Congressman Lever.

ANOTHER MONSTER TALES ABOUT SERPENTS THAT SWIM THE SALT SEAS. Steward of the Celtic Tells of the Strange Thing He Saw Skipping Over the Deck. The White Star Liner Celtic, from Liverpool to New York, lately passed the very latest sea serpents. This fact, It should be stated, is not entered in the log. It was confided to the ultramarine reporters 'by a steward, who was perfectly willing to furnish a description. Robert Hillard, the actor, was willing under duress u. provide corroboration. This sea serpent?witnesses differ as to its length?was sighted holding a whiskered, calflike head 10 feet above water. Behind, where the ear ought to have been, were two winjgs extending outward about ten feet, thus giving the saurian monster the appearance of an aeroplane skimming over the sea. The steward, in fact, described it as a monoplane sea serpent. Anyway, it was seen off the Celtic's starboard bow in the early morning, and the early rising steward, who spotted it, instead of carrying the news forward to the ridge, ran to the rooms under his care and begged those within to come on deck and see it He says he caught Mr. Hilliard, who does not deny it, but begs - - ? i . < i- ^ ji_ that it he not primea, oecause ne ui?likes notoriety. The serpent, according to both, was either pursuing a school of whales or keeping company with the school to keep from being lonesome. This last theory is the steward's who said moreover, that it turned a pair o* lange mournful green eyes upon those on the vessel's deck in a way to "touch your heart, sir.' Then it passed on its monoplanic way, dipping up and down, just like that, but otherwise holding its head erect. Behind it appeared at intervals a darkgreen body moving through the water with a wiggly motion. The report of the steward, with its accompanying corroboration by Mr. Milliard, moved the veteran, Samuel A. Wood, dean of the ultramarines, to some enthusiasm. Sea serpent stories, said Mr. Wood, are rare at this port nowadays, but in the old days the men on sailinjg. vessels saw many of them. "Forty years ago," began Mr. Wood, "I wrote many of those stories but as steam has replaced sail and romance departed from the seas, the sea serpents have evidently moved away from the steamship tracks "It is now, I think, ten years ago since the Great Tabasco serpent waj reported in the Bay of Campeche by the truthful mate of a schooner. This ? ^ n o n /I rv\ o rl O Q UI1C W cl a Uclin. u 1 u n 11, anu muuv ? noise like a O^tling gun. It is about the same length of time ago since , the captain of steamship American coming from Antwerp, reported one fifty feet lonjg tht swam like an eel It had green whiskers. "A strange looking monster ten fathoms long was reported by the skipper of the blue nose bark Howard D. Copp. The most authentic sea serpent sighting was made by the French liner Lorraine about three years aj?o. Her skipper gave the latitude and longitude where the monster was sighted and the pursuer . wrote a description of for the French newspapers. This one was a drab color, and appeared to be accompanied by a water spout. As the vessel approached the spout was seen to be a mass of water thrown up by the serpent's fore fins. iMr. Wood recalled that this last serpent was seen early in the morning Searching his memory still urther he remarked that from his experience, sea serpents had usually made their appearance early in the forn<ing; in fact, usually the morning after, in which respect they had something in common with the pink elephant.

AFrER CAUSTIC TALK Kansas Senator, Who Formerly Opposed Sutherland Amendment Severely Arraigned for Change of Attitude, Reed Declaring Same Due to Negro Vote in Kansas. The United states senate passed Monday nPght by a vote of 64 to 24 the resolution providing for the popular election of united States Senators. The debate on the resolution soon drifted into a political affair. Democratic senators criticised Senator Bristow's change of attitude. iMr. Bristow of Kansas, framed the principal amendment, in the nature of a substitute to the main proposition, and he sought to continue the supervision of senatorial elections in congress instead of delegating it to the States as proposed by the house resolution. At the last session the Kansas senator voted against an amendment offered by Senator Sutherland of Utah which would have had the same effect as his own provision of this session. Mr. Bristow said thai in both instances his attitude had been decided by his desire to do that which would most certainly insure the success of the popular election resolution Mr. Borah, in charge of the resolution, spoke in support of it, and Mr. Bacon opposed the Bristow amendment. Mr. Stone of Missouri arraigned Mr. Bristow as "snatching the amendment" from Mr. Sutherland. mi. Bristow said he first believed the measure would be stronger without the provision and now believed it would be stronger with it. Mr. Davis of Arkansas arraigned Mr. Bristow. Referring by name to. Senator Cummins, Clapp and LaFollette, he declared "the insurgent crowd never had been sincere on any subject they have brought before the country." The chair called Mr. Davis to order. Mr Cummins denied Mr. Davis' statement of an alleged instance untrue. Mr. Bristow refuted the charge, saying that only under great provication "would he pay any attention to what the senator from Arkansas said." Mr. Bacon aroused feeling by declaring that great interests had been bringing enormous pressure to bear to defeat the measure. Senators Works, Guggenheim and Cummins arose to refute the allegation. Mr. Bacon explained that he was imputing no impropriety to any member. The direction of the progressives was scored by senator ueeci or Missouri, who declared the conversion of Mr. Bristow to Senator Sutherland's viewpoint was "because of the negro vote in Kansas." Adoption of the Bristow amendment which omitted the house pro'ision transferring supervision of senatorial election from congress to the State legislature was made possible by Mr. Clark of Arkansas casting the only Democratic vote for the proposition. The tie on that ballot would nave been prevented if the vote had been cast with his party, with whom he later voted on adoption of the resolution. On the resolution as amended, the vote was 64 to 24, was six more than the necessary two-thirds majority. Of the 24 negative votes, eight were cast by Democrats and 16 by Republicans. The amended resolution now goes into conference before the senate and house, and some senators have predicted that the house will refuse to accept it. DYNAMITE IN LAMP.

FACTS ABOUT MALARIA. ?.? ^ How Mosquitoes Breed the Disease * and Its Prevention. The Department of Agriculture is continually getting out bulletins for the farmer, concerning various topics of interest/ Among the recent bulletins was one prepared on the subject, "Facts About Malaria." The ^ disease, known as malaria, is caused by parasites that enter the blood. -? n J iU - nr una leva uu ui? reu uviib. warm climates are peculiarly conductive to malaria, and it is chiefly in such climates that malaria is worse. These panaistes multiply very rapidly and in a short time millions of them are in the body. It may happen that after having been treated a person thinks he is free from the disease, and has killed out 'all but one v of the parasites, but this one may multiply and give him fever aiv.ain. The fever itself is not so dangerous as is the fact that it weakens the body, leaving It an easy prey should Vdeath approach in another disease. The way these parasites are carried about is chiefly by the anopheles mosquito. This mosquito having fed upon a person 'already infected with the malarial parasite, gives this parasite to every other i person he bites. This mosquito seldoms bites before sundown and there are two ways of distinguishing him; by the way he holds himself upon the wall, usually the body of a moequito is paralell to the wall upon which ne is standin,? but this mosqultos' body leans away from the wall at an angle; then the wing of this special mosquito is spotted. These mosuitoes seldom travel more than half a mile from their breeding place, and that is why some regions are said to be malarious. ^ There are three different ways to . figlit this malaria. First, by me- f chanioally protecting yourself from the mosquito by screens, nets^ etc. In Italy, where the disease ' was especially prevalent several years ago, it became a rule that persons had to wear veils ana gioves in some district. By this means of mechanleal protection the malaria rate was reduced from 65 or 70 per cent down to 14, but here it remained. The second method is that of exterminating the mosquito. Take care that all cans of water, pools of stagnant water, and even the b'ackwater of a running stream, be watched and guarded. There are many ways of killing the mosquitoes, two simple ways being to pour oil or throw lime on the waters where they are A breeding. The third method of fighting malaria Is that of systematically. treating) the malarious Infected district, usually with quinine. In Italy, free quinine was distributed by the government, usually prepared In some chocolate or other sweet confectionery. By this method the malaria rate vas reduced to 4 per cent. Dr. Ronald Ross, the discoverer of the relation of malaria with the mosquito advises that an adult patient take five graiDs of sulphate of quinine every day for four * * * A^AffAW A ? montns, logemer wim wuaici^4 v?^ tails of treatment the attending phy* *** slcian should direct.
