SHIPPING CASUALTIES.
Dover Eng. June 12.—Grave
fears are entertained that the Cel-
lardyke boat Lady of the Lake has
been lost. She was last seen rid-
ing at her nets and as she has not
turned up since nor any word been
heard of her it is feared that she
must have foundered. She had a
crew of seven men only one of
whom was unmarried. The others
have left twenty children and six
wives.
The steam trawler Ris has ar-
rived at Grimsby and reports hav-
ing towed an unknown schooner
into the Humber. The vessel
sunk however near the Bull
Lightship and it is feared that
all hands have perished. Scores of
vessels have arrived with masts
sails gear and boats gone.
The steam tug Champion has
towed the disabled Glasgow steam-
ship Navigation Into a position of
safety in Grimsby Roads.
A wreck and loss of life occurred
on the Goodwin Sands during the
heavy weather. The Norwegian
barque Ceylon was making her
way down the channel when she
got out of her course stranded on
the sands and soon became a total
wreck. The crew took to the rig-
ging whence six were washed
away and drowned one after the
other. The remaining four were
taken off by the lifeboat and land-
ed at Dover.

the schooner Louise Barth Danzig
Stirlingloaded with staves was cap-
sized 38 miles north of Fern
Islands. The captain has been
landed at Stromnese. The remain-
der of the crew were drowned.
The smack Beatrice Mabel ha
arrived at Grimsby and the skip-
per statcs'that about 80 miles from
the Spurn they saw a vessel in dis-
tress. They found it to be the
schooner Michael for Riga coal
laden from Bo’ness. Those on
board were In a deplorable state.
A huge sea swept over the schooner
carrying away the bulwarks and
deck-house and three of the crew
all of whom were drowned. The
captain mate and two lads
were left and they were al-
most exhausted with pumping the
vessel being almost full of water.
Two of the smack’s crew were put
on the schooner and remained all
night pumping. After proceeding
forty miles together the smack’s
men left the Michael and the
Beatrice Mabel took her in tow.
On Sunday morning the rope part-
ed and steam trawler Ris got hold
of the schooner. She was brought
to the Humber when the rope
parted and the schooner suddenly
went down with the crew. It was
believed that all had perished but
the mate was rescued by a Humber
pilot steamer and landed at Hull
this man being the only survivor
of a crew of seven.
Where The Money Went.
Washington June 12.—The In-
dian office has no official informa-
tion in regard to the impeachment
of Cherokee Nation officials by the
Council of the Nation. It is sup-
posed however that the $4000 and
$6000 which it was charged had
been Illegally paid out are shown
to have been paid to an attorney
named Colbyr who defended the
Nation in certain depredation suits
before the Court of Claims and to
Turner for promoting the passage
of a bill through Congress appro-
priating $200000 out of the Creek
trust funds for distribution in the
Nation.

rary chairman was Miss Henrietta

DEBS IN JAIL.
He Was Mining and Canted a
Furore—Had Overalept Himself.
. Chicago June 12.—Eugene V.
Debs whose term of Imprisonment
in Woodstock jail was to have be-
gun last night had not been found
up to 10 o’clock today. Several
United States deputy marshals
have been searching for the miss-
ing man since last night but no
trace of him had been found up to
the hour named.
Debs surrendered himself to the
marshal yesterday at noon and
was given bis liberty until 5
o’clock. By this action he released
himself from the bonds under
which he had been held and is
consequently out of custody with-
out bail.
Various theories explanatory of
Debs’ absence are advanced today
and some of his friends expressed
fears for his personal safety
but it was generally believed
he would appear during the day
and give himself up. The theory
that being released from bail he
had taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity to escape is laughed at by
his friends who declare his per-
sonal affairs would not permit so
sudden a departure for foreign
lands.
Debs presented himself at the
United States marshal’s office at 11
a. m. He said that he had gone to
sleep at a friend’s house and had
not awakened until this morning.
Cornell's Praises Sounded.
London June 12.—The work of
the Cornell boat crew continues to
be the topic in rowing circles. It is
conceded their style is very uni-
form far more so than is
usually seen in England. The
Cornell men feather very clean
and have a good lively recover}’ in
which they set the example to
many English crews. They do
not attempt to row secretly or to
suppress the Inspiration of their
boat. They appear to be thorough
sportsmen and try to do their best
and have already created a favor-
able Impression.
A Rich Man’s Will.
Glasgow June 12.—The will of
the late Mr. Alex. Mathers secre-
tary of the Clydesdale Banking

ries in Glasgow and £3000 to the
schemes of the Church of Scot-
land.
A Sympathetic Strike.

1000 boiler makers. The latter de-
mand an Increase of 10 per cent in
their wages.
Costly Fire.
Liverpool June 12.— A six-
storj’ cotton warehouse in Globe
road has been destroyed by fire.

000.
The Health of Rome.
Rome June 12.—The municipali-
ty of Rome has published a report
on the health of the city. The ma-
laria fevers still existing are for
the most part suffered by the fluct-
uating population which comes to
Rome with the germs of fever from
the Marremma in the marshes of
North Italy or in the rice fields of
Venetia Ac. Years now pass with-
out a case of the so dreaded per-
nicious fever even in the hospitals
which shows that the evil is abated
in the absence of favorable sur-
roundings. The prevailing troubles
in Rome this year have been in-
flammation of the lungs and bron-
chitis.
Shocking Suicide.
Dublin June 12.—The Dublin
Express reports a determined sui-
cide by a lady near Birr. Miss
Bridget Madden about 28 who
had been a nun returned from
California and lived with her pa-
rents at Ballyneagher. On Satur-
day she disappeared and also a
gun so that grave fears were enter-
tained. On Sunday two boys fish-
ing in a bog hole saw the gun in
the water. Further search brought
Miss Madden’s body to the surface.
One side of the head was blown
away. She had evidently stood on
the brink and after firing the fatal
shot had fallen into the water.
Princeton Student Murdered.
Princeton N. J. June 12.—

COLLEGE ROW BREWING
Yale Watching Harvard and Jealous
of Cornell—Cambridge Surprised.
New Haven Conn. June 12.—
Harvard’s arranging . contests in
football baseball and rowing with
Cornell has occasioned much sur-
prise in New Haven.
Yale’s leading athletic lights are
in doubt as to whether or not this
is a forerunner of the severance of
relations between the blue and
crimson. Many students think
that since Yale will not meet Har-
vard on the grid iron this fall the
latter intends retaliating by refus-
ing to meet the former in baseball
and rowing.
Cambridge Mass. June 12.—
There was quite a stir in Cam-
bridge when Prof. Ames chairman
of the Harvard athletic committee
announced that Cornell had ac-
cepted Harvard’s proposition for a
two years’ agreement providing
for one contest each year in foot-
ball baseball and rowing. Nearly
everyone who heard the news
thought It must have some bear-
ing on Harvard’s athletic arrange-
ments with Yale and possibly in-
dicated that all dealings with the
New Haven college had come to an
end.
The athletic committee men
would not commit themselves on
this point but it is understood
that it was their intention to make
a league with Cornell that will at
all events be exclusive of other
colleges.

ville railroad. This makes four

esty. It is the talk of the town.

Almost a Backslider.
Cleveland 0. June 12.—Gen.
A. S. Warner has arrived at his
home in Marietta from the Pacific
coast. In a letter to a friend
in this city he says: “There
is no trouble about the
west. Nobody but an out an
out silver man can carry the states
west of the Missouri river next
year. The good work is going on.
The politicians are kept busy try-
ing to keep the people inside of the
party fences but they find It hard
work to do it. For myself I care
nothing for party harness. I want
results.”
Silver Senator Tnlks.
Chicago June 12.—High Wal-
lace a national Democratic com-
mitteeman of TacomaWashington
has passed through Chicago. Wal-
lace is the son-in-law of Chief Jus-
tice Fuller and is a staunch sup-
porter of President Cleve-
land. In referring to the
silver question In Washington
he said it is the issue with all po-
litical parties in the state and that
free silver would probably receive
the endorsement of the Democrats
Republicans and Populists of
Washington in the next campaign.

MEMPHIS MONEY CONFERENCE.
The City is Crowding With Silver
Ratio Men.
Memphis June 12.—The largest
meeting ever held in this country
for the discussion of a single
economic question is convened at
the auditorium in this city today.
Certainly no such outpouring of
men of all classes from the tiller
of the soil to the representative of
the bench and bar artisan and
merchant representing all politi-
cal parties but unanimous upon
at least one principal of govern-
mental policy has ever been seen
in the south.
While the overwhelming major-
ity of delegate to today’s “Honest
money” convention called In the
interest of the free and unlimited
coinage of sliver at a ratio of 16 to 1
come from this section of the
country the representation in-
cludes almost every state south of
the Ohio and west of the Missis-
sippi river; from Puget ssound to
the keys of Florida; from the
Mexican boundry to the Potomac.
It may more properly be called a
monster mass meeting than a con-
vention for there is no fixed basis
of representation and it is not held
under the authority of any politi-
cal organization. The promoters
of the conference claim no credit
for bringing about this imposing
demonstration. They say this
spontaneous manifestation of the
strong and growing public senti-
ment may be traced directly to the
convention of May 23rd at which
•Secretary Carlisle was the guest of
honor. They are taking their cue
from that gathering.
Invitations were extended to the
friends of free silver to participate
in a counter demonstration with
a result that far excels the expec-
tations of any of the leaders of the
movemeut. While the gathering
comprises Democrats Republicans
and Populists and is supposedly
non-partisan there is much of in-
terest to the political observer.
Delegates arrived on every train
yesterday and all last night and
are still coming in this morning.
There will probably be over
1500 on hand when the con-
vention is called to order at 2
o’clock today.
It was given out yesterday that
the convention would be open at
11 o’clock but certain arrange-
ments were not completed in time
and it was decided to put off the
opening until this afternoon.
