FALL RIVER. Mass. May 25.-At
Watuppa Lake, about 1915 o'clock this
afternoon, party of twelve persons,
comprising Samuel Whites and wife.
Henry Whites, Willie Whites, George
Whites, Jr., Levina Buckley, Willie
Buckley, Frederick Buckley, Willie
Turner, John Buckley, Edwin Whites
and George Hammore hired boat and
went rowing. There was strong wind
blowing and the water was ruffled. The
boat into which the party embarked
was common 13-foot, flat-bottOmed
one. and the seating capacity is eight,
and 1t was too small to accommodate so
many people. The party finally was
observed trying to work their
way towards shore just north
Of the pumping station. This
was difficult work, as the water was
rough, the wind strong and the rowers
inexperienced. When the boatload Of
pleasure seekers was within twenty
feet of the shore one of the children
rocked the boat. The men cautioned
the child to remain quiet. but the child
was unGindful of this advice. Sud-
denly, without moments warning, the
boat capsiZed. Heart-rending cries rent
the air, which were heard by Fireman
Bullock, of the pumping station, and
James Lafferty. but they were unable
to render assistance. Mr.. Turner was
the only one in the party who could
swim. He grasped Mr.. Whites by
the waist and attempted to
bring him to shore, and, although
Mr.. Wittles was heavy man. Mr..
Turner succeeded in doing so. In the
meantime the women were struggling
in the water. Three or four parties ON
shore cried to them to cling to the boat,
but their failing strength was unequal
to the task and women and children
fsank out of sight. -Four of the party
had struck out for the shore on their
own hook and succeeded in reaching it
in an exhausted condition. The fol-
lowing were drowned, their bodies
being recovered later in the day:
SAMUEL WITTLES, aged fifty
MRS. WITTLES, aged forty. five
HENRY WITTLES, aged ten
SAMUEL WITTLES, Jr.. aged twelve.
LEVINA BUCKLEY, aged thirty five.
FRED BUCKLEY, aged three.
WILLIE BUCKLEY, aged eight.

An Answer to Recent Utterances
of Salisbury.
LRNDoN, May 26.-The Times this
morning prints long and caustic letter
from Mr. Stanley in reply to the recent
utterances of Lord Salisbury. Mr..
Stanley declares that he has nothing
but sentimental interest in any part
of Africa, but, he says, that on finding
that many of his friends have embarked
their money i'm an African enter
prise on the strength of charter not
worth a counterfeit SiXpence unless the
terms of misunderstanding with Ger
many are rigidly adhered to, and there
being every indication of disposition
on the part of the government to help
Germans instead of EngliShmen, he has
urged bis friends to discover the exact
limits of their territory. He wishes to
quarrel with neither Germany nor En-
gland, but says boldly that if
the German colonial demands be grant
ed, it would be more economical
to make Germanya gift of the whole
British sphere. Then British investors
might obtain so many Shillings for the
pounds they so credulously have been
yictimiZed out of. In conclusion, he
declares tnat the German sphere is tne
finest i'm Africa, and adds, ''Still their
cry is Give, give If you think they
are better adapted than the English to
civilize the African, DO nothing half
heartedly. Yield all, including Egypt;
never word of protest shall you hear
from me. Excessive amiability may
of negligence, like other diseases, grows
till it ends in chronic senljty."

A Gang of Tramps Outwits the

CORY, Pa, May 25.-A gang of
tramps this afternoon surrounded the
house of Mrs. Mclaughlin, wealthy
widow living in the western part of the
city, and attempted to rob her, but, be-
ing discovered by the family, fired Il
volley of shots at the inmates and then
disappeared. Chief OF Police Potter
was summoned, and, with the assistance
of two officers, soon had the greater part
of the gang cOrnered in barn. After
disarming them the officers started with
the party for the lookup, the chief in
charge of four and the otl1er officers two
each. Suddenly with one accord the
prisoners in charge of Chief Potter
made desperate attack upon him and
escaped. The officers went back and
recaptured one of the other four. When
the officers returned to the lookup they
found the four they had placed there
had picked the locks to their cell doors,
dug a hole through solid brick wall
and escaped. The men, all desperate
characters, are still at large.

to others, who have amendments which

coming so general now that the mem,
bers of the committee are beginning to

a result, great many worthy appll-
