Makee Eyes at Uncle Sam and Waves an
IcicIe at Him.
HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 14.-In speech
at st. Johns, N. F., in the election cam
paign just closed, Mr.. Scott, the defeat
ed opposing candidate, stated:
For many months past the bitter
feeling of resentment against British
negligence in nNewfoundland's vital inter-
ests has been taking deeper and deeper
root in the hearts Of our people, and an
nexation with the American republic is
beginning to be regarded. by a vast
number Of Newfoundlanders, as the
only remedy for our sufferings. How in
tense the sentiment In favor of annexa-
ton has already become was evidenced
by the conduct of the public meeting on
Monday night.
Mr.. Scott, in referring to the long
continued denial of the justice of the
country, used words which occasioned
an outburst Of enthusiasm. The audi
ence could not keep silence, and cheer
after cheer echoed throughout the hall
until Mr.. Scott was forced to cease
speaking and wait for the enthusiasm to
subside Said Mr.. Scott:
II cherish in my heart feelings of
most devoted loyalty to the crown and
the person of her most gracious majes-
ty. I prize most dearly the privilege
of British citizenship which l enjoy.
Il would gladly live and die under
that glorious flag which is as much the
boast of the true-born Newfoundlander
as it is of the true-born Englishmen.
But though | glory in being Briton,
cannot forget that the hearty loyalty of
the people of this country has met with
no other return than coldness and neg
lect from the mother country. New
foundland suffers wrongs which en-
slaves the free spirit and encourage the
vigorous enemies of our people, and yet
Great Britain sees our sufferings and
does nothing for its relief.
IF Great Britain turns a deaf ear to
our appeals, to whom then can we look
for succor and relief? If all hope Of re-
ceiving justice and fair play from the
mother country is stified within US,
though prize as one of my most cher
ished possessions the commission from
her majesty to serve her in the practice
of my profession, will be one Of those
who will respectfully request her maj
esty to relieve US of fealty which only
imposes duties and obligations upon US
and yields no protection In return.
I'VE, in this country, are devoutly
loyal to the crown, but we are even more
loyal to the grand principles of the Brit
ish constitution In defense of those
principles the American colonies were
goaded to rebellion. Newfoundland will
not rebel, but surely Great Britain will
not refuse our prayer if we humbly ask
her majesty to either grant our just de-
mands or permits US to seek the protec-
ton of another power

state that when the loss of the Serpent
occurred. she was trying to make Coru-
ma OF some other port for repairs.
The Serpent was a twin screw vessei
of ,770 tons and 1900 horse power She
carried six guns
The SerpeIt's complement was ITO
officers aud men The others on board
were going out TO relieve men now on
ships on the African station.
The Serpent was swift. light cruiser,
one of eight commenced during the ad-
ministration of Lord Northbrook. She
was launched in 1887.
The Serpent was built after the ideas
Of Admiral Cooper Key. who insisted
upon an immense horse power which,
according to previous notions. was out
of all proportion to her displacement.
She could maintain a speed of seventeen
knots an hour. Lord Brassey, in his
Naval Annual. adversely criticised the
vessel. He said that economy Of weight
had been carried TO excess in the con
struction of the ship. that her plating
was too thin. and that her armament
was overdone. In sea-way he said
her heavy top-weight would be detri-
ment TO her speed. and would unduly
strain the hull. The vessel was 225 feet
long. while she had draught of only
i4i feet.
Had Bad Record.
The Serpent started last Saturday on
her maiden voyage. She was commits
stoned for service in Africa last June,
but was detained by several mishaps to
her machinery. She and her consorts
were cordially disliked by the service.
The Serpent has a bad record. She
broke down more than once in the ma
neuvers of 1898. Several admirals con-
demned the whole class as crank.

LONDON. NV. 14-The British tor
pedo cruiser Serpent has foundered off
the coast of Spain The Serpent was
lost at point twenty miles north of
Cape Finisterre. Out of total of
276 souls on board, only three were
saved.
The Serpent went on the rocks during
storm ON Monday night. A heavy
mist prevailed at the time of the disas-
ter. Owing to the violence of the storm
it was impossible to send assistance
from the shore. Tremendous seas swept
the decks of the doomed vessel, carrying
away group after group of the unfortu-
nate men on board.
The news of the wreck was conveyed
to Coruna, distance of sixty miles,
over mountain roads.
Was She Seaworthy?
The relatives of the crew of the Ser
pert at Plymouth and the ,ckyard peo-
pie are full of gossip about the lost
cruiser. 1t is claimed that she was un-
seaworthy, and she broke down on all
her trial trips. Commander Ross is said
to have been in the habit Of treating his
men with undue severity.
Lloyds' Account.
The Lloyds' agent at Coruna tele-
graphs:
It appears the Serpent was running
for shelter in one of the bays north of
Finisterre. 1t is not known whether she
foundered OF grounded on the fearful
reefs that are continuation of the Gal
ician mountains. If she foundered, no.
body need be surprised but the admir-
atty If she grounded on the reefs, she
could not stand minutes battering in
a heavy sea.
At Plymouth,
The newspaper offices at Plymouth
were besieged by crowds Of people anx-
ious to hear further news of the disaster
Among these were the sobing wives and
daughters of many of the lost seamen.
Were They Warned.
1t is stated that many of the crew Of
the Serpent, before the vessel started on
what proved to be her last voyage, ex-
pressed the fear that some misfortune
would befall the ship.
The Duke of Edinburg.
The Duke Of Edinburg, brother of the
| Prince of Wales, an admiral and CHIEF
of naval staff to the queen, was at a
Patti concert, at Plymouth, when he
heard the news, and Immediately left.
Made Fool of Himself.
Lord George Hamilton, first lord Of

at a Conservative banquet at Acton
and then went on to make a witty
