DISASTER VIV
Two of the Waesland’s Passengers
Lost Their Lives.
K'LLEO IN LOWERING A LIIE BOAT
One of the Waesland’s Crtw Slept During All
the Uproar and Narrowly Escaped
Being Le/t on the Sinking
Vessel.
(Bv the Associated Press.)
Liverpool, March 7.—Further details re
garding the collision of the steamer Har
monides with the Waesland in which the
latter was sunk have been learned. When
the disaster occurred Wednesday uight,
the two vessels were steaming slowly
oft' the coast of the island of Anglesey.
The Harmonides crashed head on into
the Waesland and backed away but once
again struck the then sinking ship, mak
ing a great gap in her side. Though the
sea was perfectly smooth, the denseness
of the fcg added to the terrors of the
passengers of the Waesland. The women
rushed on deck screaming, but were soon
reassured by the officers.
The boats were quickly lowered, but
the operation resulted in two fatalities.
The end of one of the life boats slipped
from its davit and precipitated the oc
cupants of the boat into the sea. A
steerage passenger, Edward Dangerfield,
of Kansas, struck his head against the
boat’s fittings and was instantly killed
and Elsie Emmett, twelve years old, the
daughter of Rev. A. Emmett, was
drowned. The other persons who were
in the boat were picked up.
As the last boats were leaving the
fast sinking ship, whose decks were al
ready awash, an explosion announced that
her boilers had burst, and forty min
utes after the first impact the Waesland
gave a mighty lurch and disappeared
beneath the waves, sinking about midway
between Holy Head and Tuskar Light.
Nothing was saved except what the pas
sengers and crew wore. The boats con
taining the passengers were for a time
separated, owing to the fog but, event
ually, they all reached the sides of the
Harmonides and. the survivors were taken
on board that vessel, where everything
possible was done for their comfort. They
will proceed to Philadelphia Wednesday
on board the Red Star Line steamer
Nordland.
An officer of the Waesland gave a
graphic description of the loss of the
steamer. He said:
“I was taking a last look at the weather
and in so doing peered over the ship's
side when, Without the slightest warning,
there came a fearful* crash, which made
the Waesland stagger from stem to stern.
“ ’My God, we are struck,' 1 shouted.
“Then there loomed right over our
ship's bow the steamer which had run
into us. It was terrifying, of course. We
instantly recognized the peril. The dark
ness at that time was impenetrable. The
nose of the Harmonides appeared to have
eaten right into our side. We were going
very slowly, with no more speed than was
necessary to keep headway. We were
struck at right auglqg, a tremendous hole
was made aud, for a moment, the stem
of the Harmonide® was literally inside
our ship.
“A rush of excited people from all parts
of the ship immediately ensued. The pas
sengers tumbled up just as they had re
tired for the night. The men, women
and children were in their night dresses.
In a few instances the passengers had
thrown a shawl or a blanket over thgir
shoulders. Terror and bewilderment
reigned for a few moments, but the pas
sengers gradually ranged themselves in
groups about the decks, where they were
best sheltered, and the crew worked
clock-work in getting out the boats.”
As the last boat was leaving the ship's
side cries for help were heard on board
of her and the boat returned and found
that two of the Waesland’s crew had
been left behind. One of these men had
slept throughout the time of the im
pact to the last boat leaving the sinking
steamer and only discovered hi£ perilous
position when the sea water flooded his
bunk, through the port holes.

PREPARING FOR ENORMOUS SPING TRADE
Manufacturing and Transporting Interests Suf
fered Severely From the Storms and
Floods Quantities of Merch
andise Stalled.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, March 7. —R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
“Unsettled weather was the most un
satisfactory feature of the business sit
uation. A sudden thaw following an ex
ceptionally heavy snow fall produced
freshets and floods. Manufacturing and
transporting interests suffered severely
and consumers were urgent for shipment
of delayed goods, while great quantities
of merchandise became stalled in transit.
Preparations for an enormous spring
trade continue undiminished. There is
still some uneasiness regarding the la
bor situation at the coal mines, and at
Fall River there is disagreement as to
the length of a cut of cloth, although
increased wages are assured.
“Not only is there no improvement to
be recorded in the iron and steel outlook,
but floods in the Pittsburg region added
to the pressure by completely closing
many plants and damaging much costly
machinery. Recent destruction by the
elements makes an unusual demand for
structural material, and on spot business
buyers gladly pay premiums of $6 a ton
above list prices. Coal shipments have
been curtailed to such an extent that
dealers’ supplies are low and quotations
very' strong.
"Cotton goods are well sustained, the
stronger raw material giving all the ad
vantage to sellers, but thero is niuch
uncertainty as to the labor situation.
This tends to make the mills conserva
tive regarding the acceptance of con
tracts for future delivery.
“All staples steadied and some rose
sharply, the net changes for the week
amounting to a considerable advance.
Speculation was quiet with many guesses
as to the coming report of farm reserves.
For the first time in this crop season
cotton showed an advance over the price
at the corresponding date last year, and
it is significant that the higher figure
failed to attract heavy selling at the
South.
“Failures for the week numbered 176
jn the United States, against 208 last
year, and 17 in Canada, against 26 last
year.” «

(By' the Associated Press.)
New York, March 7.—Prince Henry of
Prussia completed his tour and is
once more in New York, where he will
remain until Monday, when he goes to
Philadelphia. He was absent from the
city for nine days, during which time
his special train was within the territory
of thirteen States and logged a total dis
tance of 4,358 miles. He was greatly
pleased with his trip, and tonight,
through bis aide, Captain Von Muller, is
sued a statement expressing his satis
faction at the opportunity which came to
him, and his gratification at the cor
diality with which he was received
throughout the country. Captain Von
Muller said:
“His Royal Highness is very much
pleased by his trip into the interior of
the United States. In making it he has
obtained a very fair idea of the vastness
of tpe country and its resources, which
the capital of the United States and the
great commercial centres of the east
alone coyld not. have given him. But
more than this impression lie values the
hearty welcome which he met in all the
places he went through, a welcome that
showed him how the people of the Uni
ted States everywhere understood and
appreciated the intention of the German
Emperor in .sending him here.
“The Prince made a speech in St. Louis
in which he said he regretted not to have
been able always to express his thanks
to those who.greeted him at the railway
stations, or who otherwise desired to
show him their respects. He wished to
have the intent of that speech conveyed
to all those who in the course ot the trip
gave him such a cordial reception, and
especially he wished to express nisithanks
to those who, early in the morning when
he was not prepared and still in bed,
welcomed him with music and cheers.’’
H. and £. Beer’s Cotton Letter.
(Special to News and Observer.)
New Orleans, La., March 7.—As Liver
pool advices were disappointing, our mar
ket opened 3 to 4 points lower, subse
quently advanced 6 to 9 points on fresh
buying, but eased off on realizing: caused
by reports from Manchester that some
mills would commence tomorrow to run
on short time. The net loss on the day
I was one point. The amount brought into
sight during the week was 3,000 in ex
cess of last year, and the total market
from September Ist to date is 8,819.000,
being an increase of 436,000 over last ye t.
Therefore, as the growth last year was
10,519,000, and if there is no more cotton
in the South than last season, the move
ment on its face points to a prop of 10,-
955,000. The interior towns during the
week received 95,000 against 90,000 last
year arid hold in stock 460,000 against
621,000 last year and 449,000 in the record
crop year. During last year the counted
interior towns stocks are larger now
than in any other previous year. The
total stock of American ashore afloat to
Liverpool is 1,160,000 or a gain of 346,000
over last year and 404,000 over year before
last. The visible supply of American
decreased during the week 116,000 against
an increase of 17,000 last year, and the
total to date shows an increase of 218,-
000 over last year. The Texas statement
issued today up to March Ist shows that
219,000 was brought into sight from that
State during February, against 222.000 last
year and the total marketed for the first
six months of the year has been 2,647,000
against 3,083,000 last year. If there is
only half as much cotton left in that
State as last year then the out-turn will
be 3,009,000. As considerable has been
.said about spinners taking of American
to date the actual figures so far are 6,469,-
000 against 5,862,000 last year or an ex
cess of 607,000. l>ast year 10,000,000 was
taken from the supply, therefore to re
tain the present excess the taking must
equal last year's for the balance of the
season. Whilfe sentiment is very favorable
to the article there seems to boa feeling
that a reaction is in order after such a
sharp advance. H. ft B. BEER.

THE WAY TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, March 7.—On account of
the indisposition of Mr. Vest, of Mis
souri, and Mr. Mallory, of Florida, who
expected to speak today upon the pend
ing Ship Subsidy Bill, that measure was
not considered by the Senate today.
After the Diplomatic and Consular
Appropriation. Bill had been passed
early, in the session, the Senate took up
Uhe measure for the protection of the i
President of th£ United States.
Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, continued his
speech begun yesterday in opposition to
the bill, making an extended constitu
tional argument against it* The Senate
agreed to make the bill the unfinished
business at the conclusion of considera
tion of the Ship Subsidy measure.
Mr, Bacon, of Georgia, offered an
amendment to the diplomatic bill pro
viding that the student interpreters em
ployed in the legations and consu
lates in China should be selected in a
non-partisan manner and that they
should agree to remain ia the service
for tea years. The amendment was
j agreed to*
Continuing his speech begun yester
, day on the bill for protection of the
‘President. Mr. Bacon contended that the
enactment of the bill in its present form
, would be an extension of the law
against treason as defined by the au-
J thorities. He quoted various writers
on law and the Constitution in support
of his point.
j Merely because the crime named in
the pending bill was not designated as
treason did not change its character. It
practically was made treason by the
penalty provided and the means resort
ed to to apply the penalty to the crimi
nal. Ho indicated his belief that such
a provision was unconstitutional, main
taining that treason had been defined in,
the Constitution only after long and
’careful debate, during which every pos
sible contingency was considered.
He argued that the Constitution in
tended that each man shall be equal *
before the law and the remedy for an
attack on the President or the killing
of the President should be the same as
if the crime were s committed against an
individual.
j He denied that Congress had jurisdic
tion to legislate with reference to an at
tack on the sovereignty of the Un.ted
States through the person of an official
j Mr. Bacon maintained that the con
tention of those who supported the
measure was in effect that there w'as no
differentiation between the crime of
j treason and an assault upon the Pres'-
dent which threatened the existence of
the Government. He urged, however,
| that if that were true, the assassination
of the President would be treason.
Mr. Bacon denied the constitutionality
'of any law which shall invade our insti
tutions, which shall overturn the recog
nized procedures of one hundred years
and which shall put it in the power of
partisans either on the bepch or else
where “to oppress men on account of
political opinion.” The bill if enacted,
he said, would muzzle the press and ,
make any editor afraid to express an
opinion as to the President or other of
ficial for fear that thereafter, if any of
| these officials should be k.llcd, he
might be tried for murder,
j He would not, he said, vote for the
| bill even if he were the only man in
I the Senate and the House of Represen
tatives opposed to it* The only way to
protect the President, and Vice Presi
dent, and heads of the departments, he
declared, was to prevent persons who
may have designs on their lives from
having the opportunity.
