Weit Store, second Floor. STRAWBRIDGE CLOTHIER vessel, and the possibility of being on the rocks, therefore, was no suggested until the stewards were heard crying, 'All nanus on deck. Captain's "Many came on deck In their night clothing. One man wore his drawers and his wife's fur cape, but his appearance caused so much smiling that his wife sent hiin down to dress, which he did In the music room, to the equal amusement of all concerned. There were no signs of a panic.

The soundings made showed nine fathoms of water forward and fourteen aft, but the ship rested on a flat rock, while the rocks rising on each side held her almost erect." Captain McCallum's Experience. Captain G. W. McCallum, of Pittsburg, says: "I heard a tremendous crash, and, as a steamboat man, I knew we were on the bottom and that If she slipped from the rock we would be In queer street. Hurriedly putting on my clothes, I went up stairs, where I met the steward, who was shouting 'All hands on As I reached the deck I could Just make out the masts of the Mohegan.

Officers and crew worked hard to restore confidence, and the women seemed calmer than many of the men. As 6oon as the tugs arrived I knew we were all safe, as the sea was calm and there would be no trouble In transferring us." Captain Scott, of the ship Kinross, says: "I was bringing my vessel Into Falmouth harbor when the accident to the Paris occurred. St. Anthony Light was clearly visible for five or six miles, and I heard the beil of the Manacles buoy as we passed. A misty rain was falling, but there was no fog and we saw the coast line nearly all the way from the Lizard.

It Is Impossible for me to understand how the Paris got Into that position any better than the Mohegan. The possibility of mistaking the St. Anthony Light for the Lizard Light Is ridiculous, as the former is a revolving oil light, low down, and the Lizard is two fixed electric lamps on a high cliff." Mrs. A. G.

Spalding, of Chicago, says: "I was well forward and felt the shock. When I aroused my colored maid she Insisted upon staying In bed, exclaiming: 'If we must drown, let us drown In It was with some difficulty that I persuaded her to go on deck even when rescue was assured." Henry Voiding, managing agent of the line, who arrived from Southampton this afternoon by special train to arrange for the transportation of the passengers, said to a correspondent of the Associated Press: "I have had no opportunity to inquire as to the facts and certainly have no theories to Indulge. The Cherbourg stop was adopted some time ago, and was by no means unusual. Captain Watkins is one of the most trustworthy officers on the Atlantic, and I must await the results of the Investigation before passing any Judgment." To-night the Paris lies in much the same position as when she struck, her bow being about ISO yards from the shore and her stern about 200. Almost in a direct line and about a mile ahead lies the wreck of the Mohegan.

Just outside the bows of the-Paris is a groat ragged rock; and ridge of rocks projects Into the water 200 yards ahead. There Is about sixteen feet of water In the three forward compartments, but the engines are apparently unharmed. It has been decided to await special salvage and the next tide. The water la still smooth and the work of lightering proceeds. CANNOT EXPLAIN IT London Agent Knows Nothing of How the Accldeut Occurred.

London, May 21. Mr. Currie, London manager of Richardson, Spence said this afternoon: "I am not yet In a position to explain the mishap to the Paris nor to apportion the blame. If any responsible agent of the company Is on the spot investigating the facts will be known In due time. At present I only know officially that the Paris ran on the rocks at half-past 1 this morning during a thick, drizzling rain.

"I rejoice that nobody was even hurt. The cargo is now being discharged on lighters and the prospect Is favorable for saving the ship if fine weather continues. I hope she may be refloated at high tide, about 3 o'clock to-morrow morning. "Admiral Freemantle's dispatch of two gunboats to the scene is not the less appreciated because of the fact that the passengers, malls and baggage had already been landed before their arrival. Our great desire now Is to satisfy the passengers with regard to their future movements.

A large proportion have already arranged to sail by the St. Paul." THE SALOON PASSENGERS Some of Those Who Were on Board the Wrecked Paris. Southampton, May 21. The saloon passenger llt of the Paris Is as follows: Wllllnro A. Arnoux, John F.

HISTORY OF THE PARIS Served In the Spanish War With St. Paul and St.

Louis. The twin screw stcanu-hip Paris, formerly the City of Paris, was built at the city of Glasgow, Scotland, by J. G. Thompson In Her gross tonnage Is net, Indicated horse power, 20,000. At the outbreak of the war with Spain the Tarls and her sister ships, the St.

Louis, St. Paul aud New York, were chartered at $2,500 a day by the American Government. The Paris, rechrlstcned the Yale, was one of the fleet of commerce destroyers sent out by the government at the outbreak of the war. Afterwardu she was detailed to service in Cuban waters and was armed and equipped for war. When Cervera's fleet was supposed to be at or near Clenfuegos it was the Yale that was doing scout duty on the Carrlbean Sea between Cape Francis and the Windward passage.

Captain Wise, her naval commander, was the first to discover Cervera in Santiago. The steanwblp Parte has been through several thrilling experiences. In March, 1S00, the following spring after she was launched, there was an explosion In her engine room which smashed several bulkhead partitions and disabled her. At the time of the explosion the Tarls was In mid-ocean, 216 miles west of Fastuet, bound for New York. She drifted four days without sighting a vessel, but on the fifth day the steamer Aldercgate picked her up fifty miles out of her course and towed her Into Queens-town.

In October, 1806, the starboard tube shaft of the Paris broke off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The Paris proceeded to Queenstown working only one shaft. In January, an accident occurred to one of her engine while In mldocean. The Paris proceeded on her Journey with ouly one engine working. In August, 181)0, the Paris encountered one of the most severe squalls ever known on the North Atlantic.

An enormous wave nearly tore the bridge away, smashed the com-panlonway doors and flooded the saloon. Last February the Paris also made a rough trip. The Paris steamed cautiously about outside Sandy Hook all the night of February 13. When she reached her pier ehe was covered with Ice from stem to stern and was unable to get her berth on this ac-count. A set of resolutions thanking Captain Watklns and the crew were engrossed and presented to the captain by the passengers for their action on this voyage.
