AAMLAn AGAIN BEATEN.
Teemer Rows Away From the ex.
Champion Of the World.

Probably 10000 persons witnessed the
single-scull race for $1,000 side at Pleas
ure Island between Edward HanIan OF To-
ronto and John II. Teemer of McKeesport
Pa. The weather and water were nearly
perfect. There was a three-foot freshet in
the river, however, which rendered it hard
work for the oarsmen going to the stake
boat. The race was three miles, with
turn. In the betting HanIan was a hot
favorite and many private wagers were laid
at odds of 800 to $50 and $50 on Teemer
In the pools sold just before the start Han
Ian sold first choice at $50 to $50 and $50.
even after Teemer had won the toss for
position. Teemer selected the inside posi-
ton, which was a considerable advantage.
THE RACE.
AT 80 o'clock the word was given Both
men were in fine condition. Hanlan got
trltie the best at the start. rowing thirty-six
to Teemers thirty-four strokes to the min
ute. An eighth of a mile from the start
Hanlan had the nose of his boat to the front
but was glancing nervousiy over at his rival
as though he feared him. The race was
decided before the scullers had gone half a
mile. Soon after leaving the quarter-mile
point, Teemer by grand work drew upon
his rival and took the lead, which he never
afterwards surrendered. Three-quarters of
mile from the start Hanlan was an open
length astern of Teemer and was taking his
wash. Teemer increased his lead to the
stake-boat, which he reached three or four
lengths in advance. Returned in IL 30 1-5.
and Hanlan eleven seconds later.
Hanian struck the buoy lightly in rowing,
upsetting his boat and throwing him into
the water. he was rescued by the people
in the judges boat, who righted the shell
and repiaced Hanlan in it. Teemer rowed
leisurely home, stopping twice while oppo-
site the island to throw kisses to the specta-
tors and dip up water from the river with
his hands. He was wildly cheered as he
passed the island. Hanlan rowed down ff-
teen minutes later. He acknowledged that
he was fairly beaten by better man and
had no excuse to make. The official time
was 21:13.

THE LABRADOR HURRICANE.
over Three Hundred LIVes and
Seventy Vessels Lost.

The bark Nellie of the relief vessels sent
out to the Labrador coast came into ST.
John, n. B. almost overladen with men.
women and children, many of whom are
still Frustrated. There were 26O in all but
1t Is feared that a large number of the
rescued cannot survive. The officers of
the Nellie report that the hurricane was
the most severe ever experienced on the
Labrador coast. Over seventy vessels were
wrecked. Some were dashed to pieces on
reefs far distant from shore and everybody
on board lost. Others were dismantled by
the gale and the survivors chung to the float
ing rigging and hulls until the storm sub
sided, when they were rescued by coast
wreckers. The great majority of the i'll
fated cruisers were lifted up as If on the
swell of a tidal wave, and, no longer sus-
ceptble to the skill of human hands, taken
with a mighty tow to a Judgment in the
surf, when the breakers completed the work
of destruction. 1t Is impossible to tell how
many persons are lost. The present esti-
mate is 800, but this does not include the
probable 100 who will die from exposure
and inattention. There are more than
2OOO sufferers scattered along the bleak
coast for miles. They are destitute of
verything-food, fuel and clothing I'm
less aid soon reaches them they must near
ly all perish. The hurricane that ragged on
the Labrador coast was unprecedented,
even IN that inclement region.

hours has caused the greatest flood known
in the past five years. The Richmond and

THE RoUMELIAN TROUBLE.
BuIgarIams to Shoot Trespassers ON
Their Territory.

The Bulgarian forces have blockaded the
frontier, and the officers have issued orders
to the men to shoot any one they find
crossing from Servia into Bulgaria. Ser
Wan troops have been ordered to reply in
force in such an event without awaiting
special orders from the commanding Gen
eral, or in other words they have received
carte blanche in the premises. 1t is stated
that bands of Bulgarians have commenced
harassing SerYian frontier towns.
The Bulgarian prisons are crowded with
Servians who have been taken into custody
by the authorities. Three hundred are in
carcerated in the mosque at Sophia and
200 at other places in the country. The
agitation against Servia is approaching a
climax. The restoration of the status quo
ante means the ruin of Prince Alexander
and the Bulgarian Ministers.

strong abduction case was resumed at the
Central Criminal Court. The testimony
for the prosecution being all in, the Attor-
ney-General announced that his side of the
case was closed. Charles Russell, counsel
for the defense, then addressed the Court in
behalf of the prisoners He vindicated
the sublime motives of Mrs. Jarrett when
she took the girl from her mother for Mr..
Stead, and claimed that the absence of con-
sent of the father did not make the act a
crime if the mothers consent had been
given without Misrepresentation or fraud.
Stead then addressed the jury in behalf of
himself and the other defendants. His
argument was on the basis that the end
justified the means. The Court then adj
journed.

to Power.

Gladstone came up from Hawarden to
London and meeting occurred at his
town house. 1t is understood that a clear
and definite programme was agreed on, and
the following points are given as the basis

The trial of Stead and other prisoners in
the Armstrong abduction case was resumed
in London. Ann Broughton, the neighbor
of Armstrong who introduced the latter to
Mrs. Jarrett, was examined for the prosecu-
ton. She repeatedly contradicted herself
and denied that Mrs. Armstrong had asked
her about the character of Mrs. Jarrett, or
that Mrs. Jarrett bad asked whether the
girl was pure. as was asserted by Mrs. Arm
strong in her testimony. 1t is now believed
the trial will come to an early conclusion
by the defendants accepting a verdict of
guilty on technical grounds.

WARD SENTENCED
To Zen Years Hard Labor as sing
Sing.

! When sentencing Ferdinand Ward, the
Judge said Ward, you have been con-
victed by an intelligent and conscientious
jury of the crime with which you have been
charged You have certainly had fair
and impartial trial. The jurors were care
fully selected and came TO the trial Of your
case with apparently an unprejudiced mind.
The Court guarded all your rights and pri-
vileges from infringement 10 the best of its
ability. You We're convicted because you
had no defense You offered no defense TO
the facts. and it is only matter OF coniect-
ure why so intelligent jury should have
taken so long time TO decide your case. II
your case had been that of person wholly
unknown the jury need not have left their
seats. On the contrary, your case has had
the benefit of more than careful considera-
ton. You have been most ably defended
by your counsel. An address as brilliant
and scholarly as any ever heard in this
courtroom was made in your defense. You
were not convicted on popular clamor. The
jury probably delayed in its Judgment be-
cause they were afraid that in some way
they might be accused of being influenced
by popular clamor, which tended to make
the conviction doubtful. l have nothing
to say to you in the way of homily, because
1 think it would be wholly useless. You
have shown yourself to be wholly inditfer-
ent throughout this trial of the charges
which have been brought against you. You
,em to experience no remorse whatever
over the ruin and the sorrow which you
have brought to hundreds of people in this
country. You have done more to unsettle
public confidence in moneyed institutions
than any other man of this Government, and
yet through this entire trial you have shown
yourself to be wholly unrepentant for the
sins you have committed. This being the
fact, l must simply content myself with
pronouncing the sentence of the Court,
which is that you shall be confined in the
State Prison at hard labor for the period of
ten years.
