Lost His Schooner.

BAR HARBoR, June 21.-A Prospect Har-
Dor correspondent of the Bar Harbor Record
says the schooner Walter c. Hall of Jones'
port, Capt. Woodward, Machias. loaded with
lumber for VIM. Holway, and bound for
Boston, ran on to ledge in "a group called
the "Old Man." lying just outside this har-
Dor, Thursday. the wind blowing freshly at
the time. Assistance was sent at once from
Prospect Harbor, but as the tide was ebbing,
they could not get her off until high water.
A vessel that went to the assistance of the
schooner, coming back into the harbor for
more help, bringing the captain and his men,
but returning as soon as possible. Upon
their return they found that parties from In
dian Harbor had boarded and taken posses
sion and refused to give up the schooner to
the captain, although he explained to them
what he had done and intended to do. They
claimed that she had been abandoned and
towed her into Indian Harbor, where she
now lies, considerably damaged and partly
filed with water. Her cargo will be nearly
all saved. The captain is young man, and
this is his first start in life. He is sole own
er of the vessel. The case has excited much
interest here.

the captains head. With bullets Aying, the
captain had no opportunity to show the
American flag. The soldiers on shore kept
firing and Captain Fisher ordered all hands
below and went himself. When the soldiers

into the vessel

SICKNESS ON THE SAMAR.
A Mysterious Disease Which Resem-
bles the Dreaded Scurvy.

BosToN, June 21-Bark Samar of Boston,
Capt, Emery of Biddeford, Me-, arrived in
Boston yesterday from Zanzibar via Tama-
taye. On the voyage her crew were attacked
by "a singular disease. from which three of
the men died. The vessel put into Bermuda
for medical assistance and remained two
days, but the local physicians were unable
to render any assistance. She reached quar-
antine Wednesday night, and on coming to
anchor was boarded by the port physician,
who took the patients in charge. From the
description given by the sufferers, pilots and
other seamen pronounce it scurvy or a spe-
cies of that affection, the symptoms being
very similar. There is no pain, but the lower
limbs swell and become almost useless. The
men laugh at the idea of scurvy, as they say
they had plenty of onions, potatoes and
fresh canned stuff since leaving Tamatave,
and were not under the necessity of eating
much, If any, salt meat The disease is a
mysterious one, but will probably be dag
nosed at the hospital where all the afflicted
will be sent.

ONLY WORD.
sut Its Omission May Bring Some
Absent Ones Home.

OTTAWA, June 2i.-The Dominion gov
ernment has decided within the past week
to put the Weldon extradition bill of the last
session into operation Immediately it is rati-
fed by the British government and to ex-
pediate its going into effect, the imperia
government has been requested to deal with
1t at once. The omission of one word has
made the bill retroactive. The section de-
hning the application Of tie bill reads:
nThis act shall apply to any crime mentioned
"a the sehednle committed after the coming into
force of the act.
1t should have read: "Shall only apply"
etc, and the omission Of the word "only,"
the minister of justice says, makes Its appli-
cation retroactive, which will bring John G.
Emo and scores of others within It's scope.
The bill slipped through both houses with

THE GOVERNMENTS ACTION.
ExtraditIon will be Demanded When
the Papers are Filed.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-When the evil
dence which the Illinois authorities have
been collecting, connecting Martin Burke
with the murder of DR.. Cronin, is laid be-
fore the State Department officials, the
necessary requisition papers will be made
out and forwarded at once. Secretary
Blaine, or rather Third Assistant Secretary
Moore, to whom the evidence will be re-
ferred, is not expected to exercise any dis
cretion in the matter. The Illinois authori-
ties are both pecuniarily and legally respon
sible for the governments action, and Mr..
Moore will have nothing further to do than
to see that the offence complained Of is an
extraditable one.
1t is the custom, in cases of this nature. for
the governor of the State whence the demand
for an extradition arises, to send to Washing
ten with the evidence person whom he de-
sires to act as his agent in conducting the
accused back to this country. 1t is under
stood that Burke will resist extradition on
the ground that he is British subject This
will avail him nothing. 1t has long beer
the practice between Great Britain and the
United States for each country to deliver n
the other such of its subjects as NAV have
violated the law in the other country. For
example, neither Great Britain nor the
United States Furnishes its own subjects for
offences committed in other countries. and
for this reason both readily surrender them
20 the authorities in the countries where the
crime occurred. On the other hand. If Burke
is an American, he is eyea more extraditabIe
provided the crime for which he is accused
is one specified In the treaty betwaen fine
