The Secretary also sent telegrams to the relatives of the dead officers of the Vandalia informing them of the sad affair. The dispatch concerning Captain Schoonmaker was sent to his wife at Kingston, N. Y., where his brother, John Schoonmaker, of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, algo vesides. ) -The immediate relatives of those who lost their Hves in the wreck will be entitled to pensions under the general law. The pension is $6 a month for a seaman’s widow and %2 a month for each child under 16 years of age. In the case of widows of officers it is proportionately larger.” Parents of the dead persons will have to prove that they /were dependent. upon their sons for support to entitle them to pensions. Congress will also probably pass a special act making reimbursement for the effects and baggage of officers and men lost in the wreck. This was done in the case of the #iuron, which went -down on the Hatteras coast about fifteen years ago. ‘ Sunday afternoon Minister Pendleton cabled from Berlin to Secretary Blaine a confirmation of the news of the disaster at Apia as follows:

" “The foreign office has been officially informed of the typhoon at Apia. The'Eber and the Adler were totally lost. Ninety dead. The Olga stranded. No losses. Three American and all mercantile vessels in the port lost. Sixty Americans déad. The English war ship Calliope damaged and gone to Sydney.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S SYMPATHY.

Queen . Victoria cabled through Lord Salisbury to the British legation in this city Sunday. directing that her earmest sympathy be expressed to the President of the United States for the terrible naval misfortune at Samoa and the deplorable loss of life. Mr. Edwardes, the British Charge, accompanied by the Secretary of State, waited upon the President Sunday afternoon and read to him the Queen’s message. President Harrison expressed his warm appreciation and that of the whole people of this country for the Queen’s considerate sympathy in the calamity that had overwhelmed our naval crews at Samoa. An informal reply to the Queen’s message would be made, the President said, through the Department of State. . L

A LONDON ACCOUNT.

LoNpoN, April I.—Particulars of the disaster to the German amd American warvessels at Samoa have been received as fol-

lows: The Eber was blown ashore and struck the reef first, at an early hour in the morning. She sapk almost immediately in deep water.: Nearly all of the men who were below were drowned. When the Adler struck her masts were shivered and her rigging parted. Several of her ¢rew swam through the surf and. were saved, among them the Captain and a few officers. After the Nipsic grounded her crew succeeded in lowering boats, but six men were drowned by the capsizing of a boat in the surf. The- Captain of the Vandalia was stunned by being ‘hrown against a gun and was washed overboard betore he became conscious. Several others were washed overboard by the waves, while others'were drowned in their endeavor to swim ashore. ‘Many of }:he Vandalia's crew clung to the rigging, and the Samoans and others on shore tried in vain €o rescue them. The bottom of -the Vandalia was completely stove in, and the . Trenton was thrown upon the Vandalia’s wreck. The Olga withstood the fury of the gale for a day and a night, but at the dawn of the following day she went ashore. Three officers of the Eber were doit and with them seventy-six men. The Nipsic lost seven men. The Vandalia lost her Captain, four officers and forty men. The Adler lost fifteen men. The Nipsic grounded on a sand bank. : ; Still another account says: The hurrieane burst upon the harbor suddenly. The German man-of-war Eber was the first wessel to drag her anchor. She became unmanageable, and was driven helplessly on the reef which runs around the harbor. She strnck, broadside on, at 6 o’clock in the . morning. The shock caused her tolurch and to stagger back, and she sunk ina moxent in deep water. Most of her men were under hatches and scarcely a soul of them escaped. The German war-ship Adler was the next to succumb. She was lifted bodily by \a gigantic wave and cast on her beam ends in the reef. A terrible -sfragele for life ensuned among the officers and sailors aboard. Many plunged into the - waging surf and struck out, some reaching the shore in safety. Others clung to the - wigging until the masts fell. Of those in -the rigging only two gained the shore. The «Captain of the Adler and several other wfiicers were saved. | i Meanwhile the United States ship Nipsié * had been dragging her anchors and driftfng toward the shore. The Captain, however, managed to keep control, and ran her - on asgand-bank. Boats were immediately ~ Jowered, amd the whole company was saved _ with the exception of six men. These were . «drowned by the capsizing of aboat. - The United States steamer Vandalia was 7R s s Fleh mpon ik rest - %he Captain againsta gatling gunand he fell - stunned.

Others perished while making desperate efforts to swim to the shore. Some of the ship’s company tried to save themselves by clinging to the rigging but heavy and swiftrunning waves dashed over them, and one by one they were swept away. : By this time night had set in. Many ns~ tives and Europeans had gathered on the shore, all anxious to render assistance to the unfortunate crews, but owing to the darkness they were wholly unable to be ot service. ' : ; o Soon after the Vandalia sunk the American war-ship Trenton broke from her anchorage and wasdriven upon the wreck of the Vandalia, whence she drifted to the shore. The bottom of the Trenton was completely stove and her hold was half full of water. - As morning broke the German man-of-war Olga, which had hitherto withstood the gale, although much battered by the heavy seas which constantly broke upon her, became unmanageable and was driven upon the beach, where she lay in a tolerably favorable position. s : Mataafe sent a number of his men to the agsistance of the wrecked ships. They rendered’ splendid aid in trying to float the Olga. . THE NEWS IN BERLIN. BERLIN, April I.—When the loss of the German and ‘American war vessels was reported to the Emperor he ¢ould not conceal his emotion at the disaster and was visibly affected for some time. DISCUSSING THE DISASTER.. WASHINGTON, April 1. — Captain ~Selfridge, United States navy, was found at the Navy Department poring over a chart of the harbor of Apia, which he visited several years ago. He said that, while it was a very bad harbor, it was the Dbest on the island of Upola. Like all of the Pacifi¢) Island harbors, that of Apia is formed by a coral reef encircling the island at a short distdnce from the shore. .The anchorage space available for men-of-war is contracted, being about 1,000 feet wide at the mouth of the harbor. The bottom is sandy, affording slight hold for an anchor, and the harbor is exposed on the north. On each side of the entrance are coral reefs which are awash at high water and are surrounded by shoals. The depth of water ranged from four to eight fathoms, pretty deep water being found close in shore, which would enable a ship to get close in. Hurricanes or cyclones at Apia are usually from the southwest, and revolving in the harbors tend to force vessels on the rugged reefs or rough shores. The last hurricane occurred at Apia six years ago. Fortunately no menof war were in the harbor, but. every merchantman, was driven = ashore ~or wrecked, houses were destroyed and palm trees uprooted. o Itis the opinion of Admiral Harmony, who is also familiar with the Samoan Islands, that the English man-of-war owed her escape to the fact that she had steam up.and was enabled to push out to sea. The number of vessels lying in the small harbor was a source of danger to them individually, for if one dragged her anchors she would probably collide with and carry away another ship which might otherwise have held securely. The news. of the disaster created a profound sensation 'at the Navy Department; and everybody from the Secretury down freely expressed his regret. Secretary Tracy could not see cause to condemn any one. The officers in- command of the ships were competent men and had doubtless adopted all proper precautions against disaster, but these hurricanes which assumed cyclonic proportions were simply irresistible, as was proved by the extent of the loss of vessels., {

HOW THE NEWS WAS OBTAINED.

The difficulty of obtaining telegraphic news from the Samoan islands is very great. Dispatches received by the Associated Press were. first taken from Apia to Auckland, New Zealand, about 2,000 miles by steamer. The’news was then transmitted by cable from New Zealand, thence to Banjowanjie, thence to Singapore, thence to Panang, thence to Madras, thenge to Bombay, thence to Aden, thence to Suez, thence to Alexandria, thence to Malta, thence.to Gibraltar, thence to Lisbon, thence to London, and thence to New York.

** PENDLETON.”

AUckLAND, April I.—Later advices received here regarding tix rricane which devastated Samoa and wre¢ked a number of Getrman and American war-ships says the storm swept the islands ¢n the 16th inst All the war-ships * attempted to put to sea, but only the English steamer Caliope succeeded in getting out. Merchant vessels suffered severely.- The bark Peter Godefirey, one ether bark and seven, coasters were wrecked and four persons were drowned. The Caliope sailed for Sydney. The Peter Godeftrey was a German bark.. She had arrived at Somoa from Sydney.

[Captain Schoonmaker entered the navy from New York as an acting midshipman, September 28, 1854 He was made midshipman in June, 1859, and successively passed through the grades of passed midshipman, master,- Lieutenant, Lieutenant-Commander and Captain. He was promoted to the lastnamed yosition 'on October 7, 1886, and on October 5, 1888, was . placed in command of ‘the Vandalia. Z

Lieutenant Francis F. Sutton, the son of City Chamberlain Sutton, of Rome, N. Y., was one ot the brightest men in the Marine Corps. He entered the Naval Acallemy as cadet midshipman on June 21, 1877, graduatediin 1882, and was made d Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps on July 1, 1883. He was the junior FirstLieutenant of the corps, having been promoted on March 9, 1888. Lieutenant Sutton was only engaged as temporary Commander of Marines on the Vandalia. He was detailed from the Mohican to the Vandalia until the regularly detailed Commandant of Marines could report. He expected to be transferred to the Mohican when the Vandalia fell in with that vessel. S - Paymaster Arms was born in Connecticut. He was appointed acting assistant paymaster in 1864. He served on the Tuscarora and Terror, and was commissioned Paymaster in 1871. The wife and child of Paymaster Arms reside at the Crawford House in New London, Conn, Paymaster’s Clerk John Roach was the brother of James Jeffreys Roach, the poet, who is asso‘ciated with John Boyle O'Rielly on the Boston Pilot. Mr. Roach’s home was at Ilion, N. Y.

. WILD WITH JOY. Enthusiastic Reception by the Boomers of the President’s Proclamation Opening Oklahoma—How to Get the Land. WicaiTa, Kan,, March 29. — The Ilong looked for proclamation for the opening of Oklahoma was received here with demonstrations of great joy. Flags were hung from buildings, cannons were fired and bonfires built. The same enthusiasm welcomed the news all over the south of Kansas. Extensive preparations are being made for entering the country, and some of the towns of Southern Kansas will almost be depopulated. s ‘ The boomers who have been encamped along the line are making ready to move. The cattlemen are hurrying on to Oklahoma to get their cattle, as they lear violence to stock and property from their deadly enemies, the boomers. The soldiers have left Oklahoma City. The boomers made bold to come out of their concealment in the woods to hear the news. The crowd kept on swelling in size, and it was estimated that there weré 800 persons that rejoiced over the news. i Wednesday morning Colonel Summers received from Colonel Wade at Fort Reno the new orders from Washington and posted them up in the Oklahoma depot. They were that every person must immediately leave the country and that the names of those found would be taken and kept to defeat future filing. Soldiers had left Fort Reno the night before and are advancing to Oklahoma City, scouring the country as they advance. As soon as the order was posted many commenced leaving, but by the time the train reached Guthrie the news of the issuing of the proclamation was received and they alighted to join the boomers here in their celebration and to be near to their claims. ‘At Purcell there was the same wild enthusiasm, only by greater numbers. Claims are being rapidly taken up, and there is hardly a good selection of land that has not one or more claimants. Fights are daily occurring. Wednesday night a Swede &rom Cold Harbor, Harper County, Kan., while contesting a claim twentyfour miles west of Oklahoma Btation, was fatally shot by his opponent. The poor fellow’s. eye was blown out and his face filled with buckshot. He was brought to Arkansas City to a surgeon, but died some time after being taken from the cars. His friends, fearing the effects of having their names made public, gave out that it was the result of an accident.

ARKANSAS . CiTy, March “29.—When the news was received that the President had issued his proclamation opening to settlement the land ceded to the Government by the Creek and Seminole Indians, the thousands of boomers temporarily located here set up a shout which reminded old soldiers here of the victorious huzzas at Shiloh and YVicksburg. Camp fires are burning in the valleys around here, and the song, ‘“‘We are bound tor the happy land of Canaan,” is being sung with great unction by men to whom the sentiment has heretofore been a stranger.

Torek4s, Kan., March 29.—Simultaneous, with the proclamation declaring Oklahoma open to settlement was the formation in this ¢ity of an Oklahoma Town-site and Improvement Company composed of prominent resident capitalists. The charter sets forth the purposes of the corporation to be to lease and plat, improve and sell town gites and lots thereon and additions in the public domain and elsewhere; also to open, build and operate roads, tramways, ferries and bridges in Oklahoma and. promote by lawtul methods the rapid settlement and peaceful government of the Indian Territory and adjacent public land strip. WicHiTA, Kan.,, March 29.—Colonel J. L. Dyer, who has for years been an official of the United States Land Office at Wichita, was asked regarding difficulties and contests likely to arise in the settlement of Oklahoma. He said that the question of entry upon Territorial lands is not so complicated as is wusually the case in regard to publiclands. Itisa plain case, and there is but one course to pursue in regard to the matter.. The seeker of a homestead must simply ‘go onto his claim under the Homestead act and stick to it in order to gain a title. The former customs will have kut little to do in this case, as the law is plain and will be enforced on its merits as to the question of priority. The civilian on making a homestead entry must pay the sum of $l4, take possession of his claim within six months and stick to it the required time. A soldier may file his declaratory papers, which he may 'do by proxy, through an agent, and +which will cost him $2. At the end of six months he must make his homestead entry and pay $l4 more, so that it costs the soldier $2 more than the civilian to make entry, the former only having advantages of six months’ time to take possession. The soldier has one advantage over the civilian, and that is that he can deduct from the five years mnecessary to complete his claim the time he served in the rebellion up to and including four years. This will enable soldiers who served four years in the late war tosecure a patent of land in’ Oklahoma one year after settlement, while it will require five years for a civilian to acquire the same title. One of the greatest difficultess that will arise in connection with the lands will be the adjusting of matters with those whe are now upon the lands or may take posgsession contrary to the law. The/parties who are in organized bodies colonies will not lkely be disturlfed in their possessions at present, but in ‘course of time as the ‘‘combines” which havébeen formed to protect their so-called rights have become extinct trouble will begin in regard to the solidity of these titles, and the lawyers will reap a rich harvest from the contests that will follow.

The territory thrown open by the President’s Oklahoma proclamation comprises 1,800,000 acres. :

It was an act by which He took possession, as it were, of His Father’s, house, and claimed dominion over it. B

JESUS THE PRINCE OF PEAcE—Jesus was the Prince of Peace, and yet He was a Conqueror and a King. All the ideas that were incarnated in His career, and embiazoned in His final sufferings and death and resurrection, are destined to be triumphant. His riding in this triumphal procession was an object lesson, a living parable, setting forth the fact that He was a King; that His kingdom was at hand, and also ‘‘the spiritual peculiarities and dignities and glory of the reign of Christ. Itis a reign of peace, humility and meekness, because of love.”’

‘HOSANNAHS OF THE CHILDREN—W e learn from Matt. 21:15, 16, that the children joined in the hosannas the next day in the temple. Most likely, too, on the day of the entry. Soshould they ever do. For Jesus is the children’s Saviour, full of love to them, ever invitng them to come to Him. And the church, too, should take great pains.to have the children join in the praises of the sanc. tuary.

ComMMENTS—In drawing out the spiritual application of this lesson the title may guide us. A “Triumphal Entry’” at once sug: gests gorgeous scenes—armies marching, banners waving, captives with clanking chains, blast of trumpet and roll of drum. To the student the phrase atonce calls to mind the Eternal City, and in imagination the scenes depicted by a Gibbon pass as an enchanting pageant before his eyes. Inthe “triumphal entry’’ of our lesson-all these things are conspicuous only by their absence. A humble man riding upon the foal of an ass, with peasants’ garments for his saddle trappings, and Galileans for his attendants—this is all that greets our expectant gaze. Truly, if this procession depends for its character upon that which appeals to our five senses, then it is any thing but ‘‘triumphal.”’ To see the really triumphal element, we must use our inward vision and see the unseen. Imagine, there. fore, that the Nazarene had gathered in that procession all the elements of triumph at His command ; that, like the Roman conquerors, He had exhausted the resources under His control. What manner of entry would He then have made into the city of the great king? Who, then, would have been present? There would have been present a vast throng of those whom He had restored to bodily health. Feet would have followed Him to which He gave power; eyes would have gazed upon His face which but for the touch of His hand had still been sightless; lips would have sung His praise which in literal truth He had opened; living, palpitating hearts would have been there which He had rescued from the grasp of death. Captives in great abundance would have graced His entry into Jerusalem, and yet no sound of chain or groan of prisoner would have marred the notes of peace and harmony. Willing captives, joyous captives, triumphant captives, whose captivity was liberty and whose chains were only love! How strange a procession! how unwonted a sight would that have been! And yet how fitting an accompaniment for a conqueror whose name was ‘‘Prince of Peace!”’—Rev. A. F. Schauffler.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. 1. Jesus is the rightful King of all the earth. . 2. Jesus is riding in triumph down the ages. 8. Jesus was careful to return what He borrowed. 4. We should gladly give to Christ whatever can be used in His service. 5. The Lord has need of the services of the humblest. 6. Let us honor Jesus as King, by words and by deeds. ‘ —_———————— .AGRICULTURAL ATOMS. SAve all the straw.

Tae word dollar was in our language at least 800 years ago. It was used Dby Shakespeare several times. This was in the latter part of the sixteenth century.

‘Tae modes of execution for capital crimes vary in different countries. In the United States the method is hanging, except in the State of New York, where electricity has lately been adopted. Hanging is also exclusively employed in Austria, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Portugal. In Russia, shooting, hanging or beheading is resorted to, while in Bavaria, Belgium, France, Denmark, Hanover and Saxony the guillotine is the chosen implement. In the majority of fereign countries the executions are held in public, while 1n this country they are mostly private.

In the latter year the.day was changed to the 22d, to adapt it to the new style.

Longevity.

Scientific men see no reason why the span of human life may not be extended to a round hundred years from the present limit of seventy to eighty years. ’ The age to which persons lived varies in oOld Testament chronology.

From Adam’s time to that of Methuselah and Noah, men are recorded as attaining to wellnigh the age of 1,000 years. The Psalmist David, however, says: ‘The days of our age are three-score years and ten; and though men be so strong thatthey come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labor and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.” This wide margin of longevity, together with proper observance of mental, moral and physical laws, leads investigators to believe it is possible that human life might be made to increase in length of days to a full century, at least. v L Moderation and regularity in eating, drmking and sleeping are conducive to longevity, and those who observe proper habits and use pure and efficacious remedies when sick, may accomplish immense labor ‘with no apparent injury to themselves and without foreshortening their lives.: ; Hon. H. H. Warner, President of the Rochester, N. Y., Chamber of Commerce, and manufacturer of the celebrated Warner’s Safe Cure, has devoted much time and research to this subject of dongevity, and has arrived at the satisfactory conelusion that life may be prolonged and man’s virile powers increased and preserved at the same time by rational and natural means. Thousands of persons are living to-day—enjoying the blessing of perfect health and vigor—who will testify to the almost magical efficacy of Warner’s Safe Cure in restoring them to physical poteney and to the normal- type of constitution, nfter they had almost given up hope of life. : i

After middle age, many begin to lose their wonted vigor of body, and thereupon %'rve way to inertness and useless repining. et all such have within reach that which both renews youth and contributes to the prolongation of life. Warner’s marvelous Safe (%ures are in every drug. store, and are noww regarded as standard specifics throughout the civilized world. The strong desire to attain old age—meantime retaining the virile powers of body and mind—is necessarily connected with the respect paid to aged persons, for people would scarcely desire to be old, were the aged neglected or regarded with mere sufferance. That is a high civilization in which age is made a source of distinction.. Of all marks of respect, that to ageis most willingly paid, because every one who does homage to age may himself, eventually, become an object of such homage.
