of the French steamer Russia. (from

have been safely landed.
As the life lino connoctod from the

yesterday afternoon, when night not in
no communication with the stranded
steamer was‘posslblo. The last sig-
usliod message read as follows: 1
“We have not a scrap of,food loft.
Consternatlon prevails on board."
(in receipt of this appeal the fisher-
mon made two more piucky‘launches of
their boat. but were beaten back. and
as darkness hid the Russia fi‘om shore
view, those on board were apparently
trying to launch their only remaining
boat.
The storm raged with renewed fury
during the night. and only those who
.vcrc compelled to do so stayed on me
shore. part of them huddled beneath a
turpanlln and other seeking refuge
from the sale in tho li‘aramsn light-
house.
At midnight two floats. with llnos
attached to them. were launched, but
both attempts to reach the Russie
were fruitless.
In the early hours of the morning
torches were lighted at the bow of the
Russle. and in rcspousc to the signal
the flsbcrmcn made another snort to
reach the wreck. They were again
tossed ashore, and the crew of the
life host. who belonged to the fishing
village of Cam). guthercd around a
bonfire made of the wreckage from
the steamer. wet to the skin and with
their teeth chattering from cold. but
not discouraged. 'l‘hclr heroism was
rewarded, as with day brush the was.
,fhcr perceptibiy moderated. the sen
became calmer and the wind. having
drifted from east to north. and the
Curro fisherman. at about 6:30 a. m..
again putdp sea. The spectator»,
watched with fast boating hearts as
the bout disappeared through the
wuvos. More than once it was thought
she was engulfed. but the small craft
rose in sight again on the crests of the
sons and upprouchcd. gradually. nearer
to tho Russia.
Thou a rope was thrown. which the
ilshormcu caught. and the lifeboat
soon uftcrwards was alongside. Then.
nbovo lilo bowling wind. rose cries 0.
joy from those on board the Russia.
which wore rocchoed by the crowd

KELlEW FIGHT
SBRAPS i NEEESSABY [Vii
Cadet: Did Not Think They Had Any-
thing to do With the Agitation in
Congress and the Country
Over Hazing.
WEST; POINT. N. Y.. January 11——
Thc Congressional Committee whfch
kept probing into the hazing tactics of
the West Point cadets up to a late
hour last night, resumed their labors
at 9:30 o‘clock this morning.
Cadet George EL Spaiding. of Michi-
gan. who acted as time-keeper at the
Keller-Boos fight. was the first witness
called. and after being.,sworn was ex;
amlncd by Congressman Wanger. He
said he was an ex~olllcio member of the
"scrapping committee," being vice
president of his class. Spalding was
asked to tell all about the Keller-Boos
fight. Ho said:
"I went to Fort Putnam on the after-
noon of the fight, before the princi-
pals got there. and looked over the
around. When the men faced ‘oach
other, Boos had the advantage of the
bicker ground. and was aggresslm in
tho opening round."
He then told in detail the manner in
which the fight progressed. and
said that Boos was not knocked out
but laid down and said that he would
civo the fight to Keller, as he was
the better man. Booz's sebonds asked
him to continue. but he would not.
In reply to Colonel Clayton. Witness
mid he was at one time. a cadet corpor-
al in his company, and as such bad
frequently reported other cadets for
delinquencies. He was in honor bound
to report offenses against the regula-
tions. but. where he could use discrc
lion. he always gave the offender the
boneilt of it. if a cadet officer report-
cd a man at every opportunity. it
would certainly be noticed by the auth-
orities and an investigation made. 0
"Suppose you went to the hospital
with black eyes from a light and tho
surgeon should ask you how you got
them. what would you say?"
"i would probably tell him that i
would rather not answer. I think we
would both feel that he was goluc
outside of his line of duty," answered
the witness.
Judge Smith was the next question-
or.
”Does any fourth class man over in-
cur the hostility of all tho upper class-
men?"
“A grunt many rncn come here cvcrv
vour. and out of the number there
may be one or two who urc not thought
ill. by tho upper class men to stay in
the academy."
The witness said that physically a
fourth class man was not the canal of
an upper class man. particularly at
the beginning of the fourth class year.
“Did you ever Know a roforcc to stay
a fight bnforc a knock out."
“Once. sir, when he was afraid that
rcvclllo would come before the fight
could be fluishcd.’ Once the referee
stopped a light because the fourth
class man had broken his hand.“
”Did you ever know of a cuss of
basing in the hospital?" ,
"l have board of some things going
on there. Sometimes cadets arc ask!
ed ouostions. but i never lmcw or a
man being rcuuirod to exert himself.
1 never board of any one being punish
ed by the authorities for basins in the
hospital."
General Dick then took the witness
in band and asked him about basins.
"Why were not all the thin I which
come under the term hazing polished
by the class aurcomcnt to abolish has.
ing'i” he asked.
"Exercising was specifically attack-
ad." was the reply. ’ ‘
“But fighting was rotnlnod?"
“As a necessary svll.'.'_ )
“Thou the cadets did not think that
fighting had anything to do wtthfitbs
agitation in Commons. and .ths country,
over basins. all?“ ‘ 7
“The cadet resolution rosardud this
notation as the ground for their ac
tion against basins." .
"Why was exercising untied not?"
“Because it was savers not: «has it
was not carried to excess." .
"Did you ever know a man to faint
or have convulsions through being can
si’ciscd?" . '
