Will Not Seek Another Term.
The New York Herald says:
Seated at his desk In his office In
the United States Express company'
building Friday, Senator Thomas C.
Piatt declared he would make no ef
fort to be re-elected to the United
States senate at the expiration of his
term In 1909.
"It Is true," he said, with a touch of
sadness In his tones, "that I do not ex
pect to return to the senate when my
present term ends. I will have grati
fied my desire for public office by that
time."
Further than this the senior sena
tor from New York would make no
comment on his Intended action. Ask
ed whether developments in the Insur
ance Investigation had Influenced him
In forming his decision, he withheld
an answer. To friends he had said
recently, however, that he had made
up his mind long ago not to seek an
other term.

only the outline of the base being vis
ible. The sudden renewal of alarm Sat
urday night gave way Sunday to the
celebration of Easter with unusual
fervor. The festival Is always pic
turesque In Naples but this year It
was doubly so. Cardinal Prlsco, arch
bishop of Naples, celebrated an elabor
ate thanksgiving mass In the cathe
dral, while along the' streets crowds
prostrated themselves before sacred
Images.

Republican national committeeman.
The letter was in answer to one from

the people make fun out of the hunt

noying to him.

PANIC ON SINKING STEAMER.
Cabin Doors Are Locked While Doom
ed Vessel Is Run to Shallow Water.
Evansville, Ind., April 17. The big
side wheel excursion Bteamer Louis
iana, carrying 400 passengers from
here on her first trip of tho season,
struck a snag in the Ohio river at
Newburg Sunday night at 8 o'clock
and was run ashore by the pilot beforo
she sank in shallow water.
Two hundred of the passengers were
women, most of whom were In the
dancing cabin at the time the boat
struck. The big steamer tilted to such
an angle that the women became
panic stricken. Men held the cabin
doors and kept them from Jumping
iverboard.
Captain Morgan realized the grave
danger and had the engine reversed.
The steamer was then backed off the
sjiag and full steam ahead was made
for the shore, 50 yards away. The
boat was sent Into the bank at full
speed and buried herself in a mass of
willows.
The frightened people were kept
from jumping out into the shallow wa
ter by the boat crew until a gang-plank
could be let down. All got off Bafely.
The excursionists returned to the city
by traction line. All complimented
the officers of the boat for their pres
ence of mind. The action of the cap
tain in backing off the snag and head
ing full speed for shore was all that
prevented a catastrophe.
The steamer cannot be saved and
will prove a total loss. It was valued
at $75,000 and was owned by Captain
Morgan. This steamer was in ex
cursion business at the St. Louis
world's fair.

ard of the Alaska Packers' associa

and accepted the offer of the Japanese
to do the work at lower wages than
the Chinese would accept.
The ship Santa Clara sailed also
