But at tbe present\nmoment, it Is due to Dally News renders and to the public at large to\nexplain that the late appearance ihe News has made on the streets of recent\nafternoons has been due to some nieihanlcnl difficulties, which hnve caused\nthe etiiire staff n great deal of overwork and vexa'llon\u00E2\u0080\u0094not to put too\nfine a point on It. Every day many Hems of local news that have been\nfaithfully reported and written up have failed to see type. We have received no complaints from readers, but we fear that the non-appearance of\ncertain items of local news on several occasions mny have caused annoyance\nThey have caused double annoyance to the staff, who have had the mortification of failing to see in print, news that had been faithfully reported.\nAs the doctors well know, the work of getting out a dally new-spaper\nranks among the most physically exacting of all occupations. Even under\nthc most favorable conditions, the grind nnd pressure of striving each day\nto excel the work of the previous day, makes the lot of thc active newspaperman an arduous one. To have, as on Saturday, frozen plumbing, and\na broken valve on our engine, in addition to the mechanical difficulties\nwhich have hampered the work of the News staff during the past month,\nmade the task quite an heroic one. In this connection the News wishes\nto acknowledge lis indebtedness to tbe Journal for aid In emergency, which\nmade possible the Issuing of Saturday's paper.\nAs we said at the beginning, neither good husbands nor good editors\nadvertise their troubles, even at the family fireside. IVe would not have\nbroken silence even now. wer It not for Information received by telegram\nfrom San Francisco that ths new typesetting equlpmnt especially built\nfor the Daily News. Is now on its way north, and In the ordinary course\nof events will he Installed and In working order within a week or so.

It was an\nextraordinary scene which met their\neyes when they entered cither of theBe\nstuffy apartments. Many of the rescued ladies had not given a thought to\nchanging the demi-toilette of evening\nwear on board ship for more serviceable clothing when the hurricane\novertook the vessel. They all, It is\ntrue, possessed cloaks or wraps of\nsome sort, but these garments were\nstill sodden with salt water and therefore unwearable, even if the oppressive warmth In each room rendered\nsuch a thing possible. Their elegant\ncostumes of muslin, cotton, silk or satin, were utterly ruined. Lucky were\nthe few whose blouses or bodices had\nnot been rent Into tatters.\nSome of the worst sufferers In this\nrespect were now the best provided.\nBlankets and sheets had been ruthlessly torn up and roughly stitched Into\narticles of clothing. Mrs. Vanslttart,\nfor instance, who first suggested this\nvia media, wore an exquisite Paris\ngown and a loose dressing-Jacket arrangement of yellow blanket, the component parts of which she persuaded\ntwo other women to sew together on\nthe model provided by her own elegant\nfigure.\nA few quick-witted ones who followed her example exhausted tbe avail\nable stock, and pillow-cases and rugs\nwould have undergone metamorpho\nsis In the same way had not Constance\ncome to the rescue by Impounding\nthem, declaring that they must be reserved for the use of those sufferers\nwho needed warmth and rest.\nThe men passed their time In smoking, singing, yarning and speculating\ni on the chance of the weather clearing.\n{Ultimately, when the banging ot the\n: waves again made the column feel unsafe, a small section began to plan\n; petty attempts to pilfer the provisions.\nIt Is the queer mixture of philosopher\nend beast In the average human being\nihat makes It possible for the same\nman, In ono mood, to risk his life quite\nvoluntarily to save others, and In another, to organize selfish theft.\nAfter an Ingenious seaman had been\ndetected in the attempt to pick the\nstore-room lock, and when a tray of\ncold l.an waa deliberately upset\nwhilst a football scrimmage took place\nfor the pieces, Mr. Emmett stopped\nhese ebullitions by arming the watch\npith assorted weapons from the workshop and Issuing stern orders as to\ntheir use In case of need.\nHere, again, the warring elements\nwhich form thc human clay were admirably displayed.
