the boat as high as the main top of the
disabled schooner But the brave crew
never faltered and at last reached the
vessels stern. AS quickly as they were
within hailing distance a nearly ex-
hausted seaman crawled out from under
furled sail on the lnizzen-top and came
cautiously down the shrouds. Captain
he fastened around his body,
jumped into the sea and was
rapidly drawn into the boat by strong
and willing hands. A desperate attempt
was then made to force the surf boat for
ward to the foremost but the waves would
beat it back and for nearly an hour they
struggled before they succeeded in reach
ing and holding their desired position.
The men in the rigging were terribly ex-
hausted and it was a difficult undertaking
for them to descend but one after the
other four of them descended in safety,
jumped overheard and like the first were
drawn into the boat. 1t was then discov-
cred that the fifth sailor in the rigging
was corpse and his body was left in its
headed for the shore and a safe landing
was effected amidst the cheers
Of the spectators. These sailors
belonged to the schooner B. G. Hlgginson,
Captain Fales, from Hilisboro, \. B.,
with plaster for Newburg, \. Y. When
the storm struck the vessel captain faleS
and one seaman rushed to go aloft and
were swept overheard and lost. If the
vessel rides out the storm, as seems likely.
the body will probably be removed to-
morrow.
About LOCO feet northwest of the Hig
ginson, high and dry on the sandy beach,
within reaching distance of Damon's pa
wilton, lies the three-master Matte +.
Easton, Boston, for Port Spain, with gen
eral cargo. The captain and crew were in
the rigging for eight hours before she
struck, but then succeeded in reaching the
shore in safety in their boat. A young son
of Rev. DR.. Plumb, of Boston. who
was on board for a pleasure trip, was
also saved. Still another vessel, brigan-
tine, was seen drying about by the I'M
tiring band Of rescuers and getting no
response to their attempt to place life
lines the vessel was boarded by the gal
liant crew, but no one was on board. 1t
was the brigantine Alice abandoned. The
crew returned to the shore and their
noble work was done. The names of the
men who suffered untold hardShips in
their work of rescue are: Capt. Joshua

THELOSERS SQUEAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-There have been
ugly rumors since the O'Connor-Teemer
race was decided Yesterday afternoon, to
the effect that Teemer sold out. In an in
terview Referee Elder said:
"There have been some comments that
the race was not an honest one, but | am
satisfied that it was, and can not find any
reason for changing my decision.
| consider myself competent to
judge the character of the contest,
and | am confident that the race was won
fairly and that O'Connor deserves his
victory. l regard him as being wonder
full oarsman, and | think now that he can
not only beat anyone in this country, but
that he can beat anyone in the world"
The men who had bet on Teemer declare
that Teemer could have beaten O'Connor
if he had tried. Jules W. Sullivan, the
Pittsburg man who had increased
the stakes to $500, and who had
made other wagers to the extent of 5000
that Teemer would win. has sent form al
notice to each stake holder not TO pay over
the money, as he proposed to contest the
referees decision. Mr. Sullivan also
called on Referee Elder and stated that he
regarded the race as being unfair, and re
quested that he withhold his decision in
order that the matter might be lnvestl-
gated. Mr.. Elder, however replied that he
was satisfied that the race was decided on
the merits of the two men, but was willing
to hear any evidence to the contrary which
they might desire to produce. Mr.. Sulll-
van has already employed Campbell Car
rington as his attorney, and 1t IS likely
that trouble will be caused before the
matter is ended. 1t should be borne in
mind that these complaints come from the
losers O'Connor and his friends deny
that there was anything wrong about the
race, and this is the feeling among dis
interested observers.

and dignified attitude That is the only
peace acceptable to French hearts" He

the forces of the country, causing mis-
leading appearance of weakness-mislead-
ing because the least appeal to the coun-
try would cause all internal dissension
to vanish like bad dream. He strongly
denounced NJ. Ferry for wasting the
country's resources in Tonquin while cog

France. In concluding, he appealed for
energy on the part of the Leagne of Pa

ter, They were the guests of General and

THE SITUATION IN TENNESSEE

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-Governor Taylor,
of Tennessee, is expected todecide the con-
test in the Third congressional district in
that state tomorrow. The facts are under
stood to be these: By the sheriff's original
certificates based on the returns of officers
of the election in each precinct, the vote
stood: Evans, Republican, 1854; Bates,
Democrat, 1888. Evans majority. 2SS,
and the returns are so entered in the books
of the secretary of state After this the
sheriffs of Rhea and Meigs counties sent
in what the state officials called amended
returns, stating that II illegal votes
were cast for Evans in the Eighth district
of Rhea county, and that 81 illegal votes
were cast in the Eighth district of Meigs
county and on this unofficial statement
the Democrats are insisting that the gov
ernor and secretary of state should throw
out each of these two districts, by which
2S0 votes would be taken from Evans
more than from Bates, and thus give
Bates majority of one vote. 1t is denied
by Tennessee lawyers that the governor
has any authority to act as revisory OIL
Ger, and it is asserted that his duty is
purely ministerial and that he can only
certify TO the returns as he finds them.

FOREIGN ADVICES.
ANGLO-AMERicAN AFFAIRS.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-In the house of COM
mons tonight Mr.. E. T. Gourley, Liberal,
asked if the correspondence on the Ameri-
can fisheries question was to be produced,
whether it was the intention of the gov
eminent to negotiate for a new commits
sion, and whether, in the meantime. owing
to divergence of the committee relative
to the meaning of the treaty of 1918 it was
intended to suspend the enforcement of its
provisions.
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary sec
rotary for the foreign office, CURLY replied:
"The government will not publish any
papers nor make any statement on the
subject at present. A mOdus vivendi is in
operation"
Mr.. Smith, government leader, replying
to question. replied that the government
under the present circumstances was I'M
able to make any statement regarding the
appointment OF minister at Washington.
During the debate on the land purchase
bill Mr.. David Sleepy, a member for
South Galway, Nationalist, stopped the
debate, appealing to the chairman on a
question of privilege. He stated that he
was leaving the house when an attendant
handed him what appeared to be an ordi-
nary visitors card. On going into the
lobby constable from Ireland served him
with a summons under the coercion act.
He moYed to report progress OF order to
give the house an opportunity to discuss
this audacious breach of privilege.
Mr.. Balfour deplored the incident, and
did not know under what authority it hap
pened. He entirely disapproved of such
measures occurring within the precincts
of the house. ["Hear, hear."1
Sir VIM. Harcourt held the government
responsible for the instructions which has
been given the constable serving the sum-
mons The dignity of the house was af-
fronted by it and an inquiry was therefore
necessary.
Mr. Balfour disclaimed responsibility for
the act, and states he would give an en-
phatic pledge that so far as the Irish eXecu-
tive was concerned, the incident wonld not
occur again.
Mr. John Morley proposed that COM
mittee be appointed to inquire into the
circumstances of the incident. ["Hear."l
