FROM THE JAWS OF OCEAN.1 Democrats Impressed by the Popular Demonstrations In Favor of the Admiral Bryan Thinks Well of the Idea. The Washington correspondent 61 the New York Journal writes : "There is talk that Bear Admiral Schley is to be placed on the Demo cratic National ticket as running mate for Bryan,or whoever heads, the ticket. Some Democrats now here, and fairly representative in character, have been much impressed by the last week's popular demonstrations in New York and Washingson, and if Maryland either goes Democratic this fall or shows a Bepublican falling off, Schley, in the opinion of these gentlemen, is essential to the Democratic campaign. "The story is, therefore, that if the heroic spirit is to invade the next cam paign, it will come through the Democ racy, with Schley as the central figure, 4Dewey is all right as an admiral, no matter what ticket is elected, but Schley is doomed to remain where he is as long as the present regime holds out. ."Congress is disposed to set matters right, but there is little room to doubt the administration's intention to pro tect Sampson in every possible way and to prevent the promotion of Schley unless Sampson can get precedence, Schley's hopes are, therefore, depend ent more or less upon the success of the Democratic ticket. "It is said here by men who know Bryan that he is a great friend of the admiral's and feels keenly the humili ating position into which he has been placed as a result of the battle of San tiago. It is even said that Bryan would like very much to have Schley as a runningmate if, in the wisdom of the Democratic leaders, such obvious candidates as George Fred. Williams, of Massachusetts, and O. H. P. Bel mont, of New York, are not thought to be good vote catchers in the east. "Since it appears impossible for the admiral to get any higher under the present regime, and since he will be compelled to retire before long on ac count of age, it is pointed out that he is in a good position to begin a civil career as he is a man with sound fac ulties and health. "This point is also made by thoee Democrats who are not .quite willing to permanently commit themselves on the ticket suggestion that Schley could be a factor in the campaign by being scheduled as Secretary of the Navy in the event of Democratic success." In thecampaign of 1896 W. M. -Hoyt, of Chicago, presented to Hon." William J. Bryan two lots in Lin coln, Neb., "to aid him in his cam paign for the free and unlimited coinage of silver.!' Itwas said at the time that the property was worth $10,000. Mr. Bryan has re cently sold the lots for $250. r Rescue of the Crew of the Car rie A. LaneThe Schooner Shipwrecked Tuesday in the Gulf Stream. Norfolk, Va., October 5 The British steamship Rhodesia, Captain Bates, from. New Orleans to Hamburg, ar-j rived at Lambert's Point this morning, having on board the crew of the schooner Can ie A. Lane, of Bath, Me., who were picked up in the Gulf Stream shipwrecked Tuesday. The crew is composed of Captain J. Frank Skofield, whose wile is with him, and eight men. Their experience was a most thrilling one. ' The Lane, which was a three-masted schooner, sailed from Apalachicolaj Fla., for Noank, Conn., On September 19th, with a load of lumber and had good weather up to about Tuesday of last week, when northeast winds set in. She labored heavily in the sea afterwards, but had no accident until Sunday afternoon. All hands were at dinner when the j vessel suddenly shipped a heavy sea nd shifted her deck-load of lumber; ehe immediately began to leak, and when the pumps were first put to work she had eleven inches of water in her hold. At 9 o'clock Sunday night there were seven and a half feet of water and the crew took to the deck house. Here they remained until Tuesday morning, when a lifeboat was sent out from the Bhodesia, in charge of Chief Officer Jewell, and they were taken on board the British ship. In the attempt to hoist the lifeboat to the I deck, after the party had been rescued, it was smashed by the heavy rolling sea and lost. Capt. Bates says that the wreck of the Lane is right in the track of vessels playing' along this coast, and is very dangerous to naviga tion. Most of she Lane's crew reside in Baltimore. Their names are as fol lows : i : . Mate, C. Van Lippeloy, Edward Jones, L. C. Howe, George Doleman, Ernest Johnson, P. A. Keeler, Charles Albert and Joseph Locust.

She died from her injuries early this morn ing. , ' A bull fight which was begun before a large crowd in Paris Sun day ended in a panic, caused by one ofj he bulls leaping among the spectators. , A Throat Trouble Which Mr. Bryan Says Will Be Well Enough for Him to Resume His Tour To -Day. Chicago, 111., October 9 A special to the Chronicle from Webster, Iowa, says : ! "W. J. Bryan is a very sick man. Friends who have spent Sunday with him at the farm' of Fred E. Whfte, Democratic candidate for governor of Iowa, three miles from Webster, are afraid that Mr. Bryan may have tem porarily to abandon his campaign work not only in Iowa, but in Ken tucky and Ohio. ''When Mrv Bryan woke yesterday morning, be complained about his throat and lungs, but said that he had suffered from a similar ailment once before and tha- it had yielded to treat ment. Great crowds of farmers from all over Keokuk county called at the White farm to see Mr. Bryan during the day and although he tried hard to remain out of doors his physical weak ness mastered his courage and he had to retire several times to his room. A local physician who was called in last night to treat the invalid recommend ed a long term of absolute rest and quiet. It is understood that steps will be taken by interested friends to can cel Mr. Bryan's, engagements', which include two and three speeches daily, and a tour covering the width of Iowa and ending at Sioux City Saturday." I Bryan Says He is Better. ! Omaha, Neb., Oct. 9 In reply to the telegraphic inquiry as to his con dition, Hon. W.J. Bryan replied as follows from Webster, where he is stopping with Hon. Fred White, the Democratic candidate for Governor of that State : . : "My condition was not serious and I am much better to-day. I expect to be able to resume my topr to-morrow." First Railroad in Hawaii. Chicago, Oct. Through the ef forts of a Chicagoan, Herbert B. Gehr, a company has been formed which proposes to build the first railroad on the island of Hawaii. The charter for the Kohala and Hilo Railway Company, as the new corporation is known, was obtained from President Dole by Mr. Gehr. The capital stock of $3,000,000 has already been subscribed. v Edwin Wildman, ex-vice consul of the United State at Hong Kong, and who was stationed there when the war in the Philippines was be gun, has just returned to this country. He is aquainted with conditions in the Philippines. He says that General Otis is too old and Tain to accomplish anything. A Little Talk By Schley. in- admin by the Henry A New York dispatch of the :4th stant says : "Rear Admiral Winfield Schley was installed as commander of the Loyal Legion at the meeting of the order held at Delmonico's to-night. As he entered the dining room, where the members had already gathered; he was greeted with applause and a round of cheers. The flag was duly presented, and the oath of ofhce wan then htered to the new commander senior vice-commander general, L. Burnett. 'After the banquet Admiral! Schley was introduced by Gen. Henr L. Bur nett, the presiding officer, as the 'hero of Santiago,' and there was not a single man in the apartment who did not shout his approval; In his speech Ad miral Sen ley said : ; " I am,first, very proud of this recep tion by these who maintained the flag in the past. There Is one thing that gladdens the heart. of man through every hour of his existence, and that is the appreciative regard of his friends and companions. , " 'I don't believe it could happen more than once in a man'e life that he should get such a reception as was ex tended to me last Saturday while in my humble way I jwas trying to do honor to the' matchless and fearlets Dewey. I was much surprised ; to re ceive such consideration from the peo ple, and all the people in the world seemed to be in New York at that time. The throwing' of flowers in the carriage seemed an unspeakably touch ing tribune. I doubt if ever a Roman conqueror was more splendidly greeted.' .1 "Referring to the Santiagp battle, be modestly said : 'The part i took in the Santiago fight was the same: that any captain in the fleet Would and could have taken. It was merely my luck and opportunity, and I took advantage of it. '"It was the men ehind the guns who did. the real work.' ; . - "In closing, he said : 'This is a na tion of peace. I hope there will never be another war ; but if one should come in the far future, those who re then living can be depended upon to answer the call.' " I The committee which investigated the affair ot the Sooth Carolina penitentiary ascertained that Sena tor Tillman was indebted to that institution to the extent of $106.06 for various articles which he had from the penitentiary during Supt. NeaPa administration. The Sena tor has paid up. C. H.

TOLD BY TOURGEE. Use the French Have Found for American Dried Apples. Washington, Oct. 7 Dealers in ap ples In this country are much interest ed in the report recently sent to the State Department by Albion W. Tour gee, United States consul at Bordeaux, France. In this report Consul Tour gee describes a new use to which American dried apples are put in that country. The report says i "It is a curious fact that the con sumption of wine in France is steadily diminishing. This resulted from a va riety of causes, prominent among which is a general belief among the common people that the product of the vine is apt to bedeleteriously adul terated. " Whether this is true or not, it is a matter of much universal comment that they naturally make it an excuse for discarding wine and indulging in a beverage which they declare is too cheap for anybody to dream of adul terating. Their first resort was to the product of the apple and pear orchards of Normandy and Brittany. In 1895 the consumption of cider in Paris amounted to 10,000,000 gallons, but in consequence of the bad apple harvests of 1896 and 1897 this fell in 1898 to an utterly insignificant figure. y "The importation of cider to meet the demand was impossible, because of the prohibitive duties of 8.50 francs per hectoliter, amounting with the oc troi duty to about 16 cents a gallon in Paris. Of course, no man could pay a tax of four cents a quart and furnish a drink cheap enough to meet the de mand for cider. It became necessary, therefore, to furnish a substitute. "Out of these conditiorr, aided by the genius of some unknown mixer of drinks in Paris, was evolved 'piquette,' a sparkling, fruity beverage, composed of dried apples, raisins and water, al lowed to stand until fermentation takes place and then bottled, with the addition of a little sugarror served di rectly from the cask. "The special American interest In piquette is found at present in the fact that the dried apples, out of which it is made, are imported from the United States. The dried apples used in its manufacture are the lowest grade of windfalls sliced, including skins, core and 'inhabitants.' without distinction as to quality or variety THE AMERICAN'S CUP.
