ST. PAUL STRANDED Big American Line Steamer Is Hard Aground Off Long Branch, FOUR WRECKING TUGS AT WORK. With High Tide to Help They Manage to Move the Steamer a Distance of Fifty Yard*—Captain Jamieson Thinks She Will Be Rescued From Her Dangerous Position Within a Couple of Days. Long Branch, Jun. 27.—President O. A. Griscom and all’thoother representatives of the International Navigation company, popularly known as the American line, have taken a decidedly more hopeful view of the situation of the stomher St. Paul, which stranded here in a fog Saturday morning. She lays within a stone’s thfow of the Grandview hotel veranda. They place great reliance on the Merritt and Chapman wrecking companies, who have charge of the pulling off of the big steamer, and they hope to have the St. Paul at her berth in New York before the end of this week. The vessel is now about 150 feet further toward the northeast than where she lay Saturday night, owing to the efforts of the wrecking tugs yesterday. weather yesterday was fine and the sea very calm. Early iff the momthe tide was full, there was a heroic attemnt made to pull the steamer out of her difficulty by use of kedge anchors, aided by her own*niachinpry and the combined piAver of four tugs. The hawsers were strained to their utmost and the huge bulk shivered for fully half an hour, under the immense, force brought to bear on it. The toilers were finally rewarded by seeing the hawsei’s relax and a rousing cheer announced to the anxious watchers who flitted nbput the beach hi the darkness that the steamer had been moved a little. ‘ Slowly but surely the St. Paul moved sternward in a northeasterly direction, but stopped like a stubborn animal after having slid through her sandy bed some 50 yards. The tugs kept up their puffing and pulling for an hour without being able to make the vessel budge an inch further, and they left her evidently as deeply embedded as ever. The press representatives were not allowed on board the,' St. Paul, but one of their number managed to elude the watchful officers at the gangway and Succeeded in making his way to the captain’s cabin. Captain Jamieson, he said, looked rather blue when he spoke to him. In response to the reporter's inquiries the captain said: “It is not true that any of the plates are sprung, and the vessel is all right. There is no sign of leaking. The Chapman and Merritt people, who are in charge of the bringing off of the ship, are sanguine of success and I feel confident that she wif i move off very soon, perhaps after a couple of tides?’ At high tide last evening the tug North American had a hawser attached to the ship, but after half anhour’s puffing and straining she gave up the. jol . as she had made no jierceptible change in the position of the St. Paul. The Long Branch telephone company has established direct communications with the St,.Paul. Linemen were busy yesterday stringing a wSre over to the vessel. A telephone has been placed on board and messages passed last evening between the Company's office in New York and President Griscom.zon board the ship. , ’ y- • Cnnarder Delayed by Bad Weather. .L. Liverpool, Jan-. 27. — The CunaW line steamer Umbria, which sailed from here Saturdtiy, was detained in the Mersey for 12 horn’s.

Address Before the Woman Suffragists' by Charlotte Perkins Stetson. Washington, Jan. 27.—The delegates to the National Woman’s Suffrage association, now in session here, attended divine service at the Church of Our Father yesterday. Miss Elizabeth Up? ham Yates 'presided over the meeting and the address was delivered by Mi’s. Charlotte Perkins Stetson of California. The general theme of her discourse was the spiritual significance of democracy and woman’s relation to it. In democracy, she said, we find the culmination of the spirit of sociability, and democracy is consequently the fullest manifestation of that hidden potent power. Wohian's work in aiding this development, said the speaker, was practeially naught, not that many women had not influenced the course of government through their sons or husbands, but that as creatures, members of a commonwealth, they have done absolutely nothing. Her presence-has been dead weight, a hindrance in the development of the spirit of democracy. Her duty, then, is to remove this obstacle, for as the spirit was divine, so was the duty it brought with it. They should not forget that duty is an indication of Godliness and that God is to be,done, not simply Wived. - Gold Umler an Old Barn.
