BARKWRECKED; 27 DROWNED AMAZON, BRI_TISH VESSEL, SINKS - OFF PORT TALBOT. Only Five, of Crew of Thirty-Two Men, Are Saved—Bodies Washed Ashore.

Neath, Wales, Sept. 2—The British bark Amazon, for Iquique from Port Talbot, has been wrecked near the latter port.. Only five out of her crew of 32 were saved. Six bodies already have been washed ashoreé. Terrible scenes were enacted when the bark went down. The men who were on duty on deck were the only ones of the 32 men of the crew vyho managed to escape. When the vessel struck, according to one of the rescued men, all five clambered into a lifeboat and an instant later were carried away from the doomed vessel by a gigantic wave. Though half starved they managed to reach shore in safety and were immediately taken care of by the natives. Few of the victims were able to even reach the rails of the vessel before she was swamped by the waves, and carried down. Some were drowned in their -bunks, so the survivors declare, and 1t is considered prebable that their bodies will never be recovered.

Bodies were picked up along the shore by the authorities and life savers. Two of the five rescued men fell from their lifeboat from sheer exhaustion just before the little craft made a landing near Port Talbot. However, they were hauled to safety by their stronger companions and now are installed in the cottages of the natives along the shore. The bark Amazon was a small craft and plies between the two ports. The captain of the vessel refused to leave his post when the ship struck, hoping to save the vessel from destruction with the aid of his men, but-he had only an instant in which to accomplish his purpose and he failed. r ; HASN'T HEARD OF RECALL.: Minister Wu Smiles at the Story from Peking. Washington, Sept. 2—Mr. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese miniSter, when shown a dispatch from Peking Tuesday stating that government was considering the question of his recall and mentioning the name of- his probable successor, declared that the Peking government had not in any way intimated -te him that it was dissatisfied with anything he had done and it had not called him to account for anything that he may have said. { - He' appeared rather amused and puzzled over the statement .that the government had been embarrassed by his attitude ““as-a public character in America,” and his disposition was to smile in' talking about it. The minister added: :

“What few speeches I have made since my return to America have been mainly to colleges and universities and have been educational in character and in furtherance of the effort to cement the friendship between China and the United States. I have scrupulously avoided touching on politics. If the utterances credited to me which the Peking dispatch says have embarrassed the government relate to the so-called American-Chinese alliance, I wish to say that I have not committed myself in any way on that subject more than to remark that it was ‘interesting.”” : : THREE BALLOONISTS INJURED. French Aeronauts Come to Earth in Railroad Yards. - ; Niagara Falls, N. Y., Sept. 2.—A balloon supposed to be one of those which left Columbus, 0., passed aver the eastern end of this city about 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The gas was escaping and in passing over the New York Central freight yards the basket struck a freight car, injuring the occupants, three Frenchmen. One of them had two ribs broken. All three were very much excited, and spoke very incoherently. The balloon continued, but soon afterwards parted from the basket, which landed in the New York Central cut at Devil’'s Hole. The balloon dropped in the woods at Devoe college. The injured_ Frenchman is being brought to the hospital here. To Cross Channel in Aeroplane. Paris, Sept. 2—The papers declare that a Russian named Prince Bolotoff has decided to attempt to cross the British chanttel-in an aeroplane.

For a Prohibitive Tariff The tariff plank of the present republican platform is, in effect, the strongest demand for a prohibitive high tariff ever put in the national platform of any party, and Mr. Taft’s gspeech of acceptance is a little stronger than the [platform 'plank, for he frankly suggests the revision of certain schedules upward. At the republican convention a minority plank, demanding a tariff merely ‘equal to the ‘‘difference the coest of r the production at home and abroad,’” ‘was kicked out of the committee on resolutions by a vote of-52 to 1 and out of the convention itself by a vote of 962 to 58. A minority plank favoring a tariff commission was bundled out of the resolutions committee and the conyention itself by the figures already named. Those liberal Republicans who realize that much of the party platform is regretable, and that many; Republican leaders contemplate a backward step from the standards set by Mr Roosevelt, propose to mark a Taft ballot in the hope that Taft is bigger than the party, and that he willdom inate it. ‘ One of the dearest wishes of Tafts’ career has been justice and economi-tair-dealing with the Filipinos, regarding whom he takes pride -in the relation of guardian and. ward. The most fervent preaching of hislife has been his demands for the free entrance into America of the products of our Asiatic islands, especially the‘great staples to which Philippine resources are uniquely adapted, sugar and tobaceco. This, if anything, he would have forced upon the republican convention which his friendgj dominated for his nomination. What of the platform on this point? ' ‘“We favor a free interchange of prodiets (with the Philippine islands) with such limitations as to sugar and tobacco as will afford adequate protection to domestic interests.”” This is about as disgusting a plank as could be framed. Considering these things, we wish the democratic party were in condition to take advantage of them; but with its Oklahoma insurance, its crazy trust.planks, and general financial folly—turned from free silver into other channels—it is in no state to cope with so superior a candidate as Mr. Taft.— Collier’s Weekly (Ind.) : : The Way itLooks 1t is observable that the Republicans have not taken the offensive. Their attitude is one of apology and uncertainty. The Democrats are doing the fighting while the Republicans are doing the running.—Mem-
