OCEAN RACING.
A Dangerous Practice Which
Should Be Stopped.
The Steamer City of Rome Has
Very Close Call.

While Going at Slow Rate of Speed In a
Dense Fog She Strikes Fastnet Rock
or the Irish COast-A Great Fatality
Averted by the Promptness Displayed
In Reversing the Engines.
LONDON, June 10.-The Anchor line
steamer City of Rome. Capt. Yong, from
New York, May 81, arrived at Queens
town at 10 O'Clock Sunday morning. The
vessel had narrow escape from de-
struction at Fastnet. She made land in
a dense fog at o'clock. She was go
ing slowly and was taking soundings
when, notwithstanding the care exer-
cised, she struck Fastnet rock, about
three miles seaward off Crook Haven,
bow on.
Her foot got on the rock, and, but for
the promptitude displayed in reversing
the engines, great fatality would have
been recorded. Passengers, who were
interviewed, say the steamer trembled
all over when she struck the rock. For
time there was intense alarm on board,
the density of the fog adding to the
ominous character of the situation. The
passengers were finally quieted by the
repeated assurances of the commander
and other officers of the steamer that
not the slightest danger existed.
The full extent of the damage will
not be ascertained until the vessel is
locked at Liverpool Her stem is broken
at the peak, and she shipped large
volume of water forward. The steamer
started for Liverpool at II o'clock, pro-
ceeding at half speed
The passengers presented to the cap
tain of the City of Rome an address,
commencing his care and skill.
1t is rumored that the fog-gun on
Fastnet rock was not fired until after
the City of Rome had struck.
Racing Should BE stopped.
The accident to the steamer City of
Rome. although attended by no injury
or loss of life to passengers or crew,
ELECTS general condemnation of the prac-
tice Of racing, which has become the
rule rather than the exception with
transatlantic passenger vessels. 1t is
true that the passengers themselves
united in praise of the captain and his
officers, but that is an act so universally
INDUCED in by the patrons of ocean
liners that it has long since become in
significant and in most cases per-
functory.
Despite the complimentary resolutions,
it is beyond question that the vessel had
an extremely narrow escape from going
to the bottom, and it is also plain that
the passengers were thoroughly fright
ened and adequately estimate their dan
ger. The extent Of the damage to the
ship is believed to be greater than was
admitted at Queenstown. 1t is stated
that the board of trade will take imme-
date and effective action to repress
ocean racing by the imposition of such
penalty for future infraction of their
prohibitive measures as will deter any
steamship owner or officer from indul-
gence in the practice.

FISHERY sTEw sTnL ON.
A New Law which Affects Our America
Fishermen.

@AAANGAA~eN~-
Fishermen.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 10.-One aspect
of the fisheries dispute between New
foundland and France will have deep
interest in the United States before long
and will indirectly affect the American
fishing industry unfavorably. 1t is sur
prising that it has not yet been called to
the attention Of the authorities at Wash
ington.
The new pait act passed by the colo
NAL assembly, which went into effect a
month ago, was intended as aretaliatory
measure against the French by placing
obstacles in their way Of procuring her
ring, caplin and squid, which must be
used as bait for cod and must be fresh.
Fighing vessels for years have been buy
and north coast.
The new law requires all foreign YES
sells to take out license costing vi a
ton for every twenty-one days privi-
lege of buying bait. On a 10O-ton
schooner, therefore, there would be a
500 tax every three weeks, besides the
cost of bait at about 81 a barrel, the
supply of which the new law limits to
one barrel for every ton Of the vessels
burden.
This is aimed at the French, but the
law could not SO specify, and it applies
to all foreigners. Therefore all Amer1-
can fishermen on the banks will be
affected. Large numbers of American
bankers have been coming to the west
coast of Newfoundland for bait every
season. This year there were very
few. only fifteen at Bay st, George, and
the herring fishery is now over for the
season.
The new high tax law has driven
Americans and Frenchmen to st. Pierre
and elsewhere for bait, and tempted one
or two Americans, it is said, to violate
the law. Such violation caused the
seizure of the American boat Holbrook
at Harbor Britain last week.
There is some discomfort in the New
foundland fishing villages on the coasts
because the law has driven away the
American bankers, who for years have
been buying bait, ice, supplies, ETC.,
making a considerable trade for the poor
people ON the coast.
The new bait act does not apply to
Bay st. George. Frenchmen and Ameri-
cans can call there for bait without pay
ing the license, but this is the only place
on the coast where the exorbitant license
is not exacted.
The fishing season for herring is now
about over and there is not likely to be
any trouble from that source, as the
French vessels are leaving the west and
north coast Cod fishing on the bank
does not lead to conflicts, but there may
be trouble on the coast, because of the
lobster factories.
There are many of these along the
coast, both English and French. AS q
consequence of the modus vivendi, by
which it is agreed that all canning fac
tories erected since July last year
should cease, Capt. Sir Baldwin
Walker, of II. M. S. Emerald, senior Off
Ger of the fleet, has issued orders
notifying the several British factories to
cease work. Some of these are known
not to have obeyed and are working as
usual. One large one ut Bay st. George
owned by James Baird, British sub
iect of ST Johns, has ignored the or
ders, and will possibly be forcibly

EUGENE H. coWLes SHOT.
His WifeS Brother Probably Fatally
Wounds Him in Montreal.

MONTREAL, June 10.-Sunday after
noon at o'clock Eugene H. Cowles, of
Cleveland, O., son of Edwin Cowles, late
editor of The Leader, was shot in the
right side of the neck by F. G. Hale,
who was in a cab in company with Mr..
and Mrs. Cowles Cowles was immedi-
ately taken to the hospital, where after
hurried examination it was announced
that there was no immediate danger.
The trouble was caused by Mr.. Cowles
abducting his 10-year-old daughter and
placing her in convent here. Mr.,
Cowles had for the last five years been
spending his money on fast women, and
so was only allowed to see his daughter
occasionally. Last week, after the alb
duction, Mrs. Cowles instituted divorce
proceedings on the ground of adultery.
Mr.. Hale, the assailant, is brother of
of Mrs. Cowles He claims that Cowles
was about to shoot when he fired. The
object of the carriage ride was to talk
matters over.
