DULUTH, Mimi, June 2.-The schoon
er-rigged scow Mayfower is at the bot
tom of Lake Superior with 493 tons of
Portage Lake sandstone holding hef
down. She is not an old craft, having
been built in 1887 at Sturgeon Bay. She
had the following government register:
Gross tonnage, 230.40; net tonnage, 21S.-
S.; length 147 feet, inches; breadth.
27.O feet; depth, rs feet. She was owned
by Capt. Sheldon, of Houghton, and
was valued at $4,000. Her cargo was
consigned to Quinby & Omeis. Her
crew consisted of four: Captain Theo-
dore Zerbot, of Houghton; Wheelman
Joe Roe, of Houghton; Cook Edward
Elliott, of Mancelona, Mich; Sailor Pat
Smith, of Houghton. The i'll
fated vessel was bound for
Duluth and struck a heavy sea,
which kept increasing in violence, Just
outside the Portage entry, but she got
along all right until she was about four
miles off this port, when her deck load
shifted slightly to port, and she shortly
atterward careened and turned bottom
side up, in which position she floated
Tor about five minutes and then sunk.
She was in tow of the lake tug Cora A.
Sheldon, and as soon as she listed the
tug people cut the tow line and imme-
dlately put about to effect the rescue of
the lmperiled crew. After extreme
difficulty all were saved with the excep-
tion of Capt. Theodore Zerbot, who
yelled out: tits no use, | am gone"
and sank in few minutes. The other
members of the crew caught hold of
t1oating wreckage and kept up until the
tug managed to reach them.

SIR JOHN is SINKING.
Heart Failure May End His Life
Any Moment,

OTTAWA, June $3.50 a. m.-Sir John
Macdonald is sinking gradually, Per-
splration of extreme weakness continues
and his breathing is heavy and labored.
He takes no nourishment now except
champagne. Heart failure may come at
any moment. Sir John rested comfort
ably all day excepting at intervals of
changing his posture and administering
nourishment. The change of tempera-
ture since yesterday has appeared agree
able 10 him. All the dispatch boxes and
state papers in the premier's possession
at Earnscliff have been returned to the
department. General regret is felt that
Sir John has not been able to speak or
write his last wishes, as final express
sion of opinion from him would be Of
the greatest value. The impression
prevails, however, that some weeks ago
he indicated indirectly his wishes as to
the policy to be pursued in the event OF
his sudden death.
MONTREAL, June 2.-Most people
seem to think that the action of Sir
Charles Upper in the recent election
indicates that he is the only possible
successor to Sir John Macdonald, al
though Sir John Thompson is high in
favor, as high-minded and able states
man. If is hardly thought probable,
however. that either Sir Charles Tup-
per or Sir John Thompson would
long hold together the hostile
elements Sir John Macdonald
knew so well how to manage
The editor of leading daily journal
said last night that if Sir John Macdon-
aid dies, Canada will have hard time
to keep clear of ultimate annexation.
Others, however, believe Sir Charles
Upper, if chosen, would strike out
boldly for closer trade relations with the
United States, and by vigorous home
policy keep in the saddle for some
years. Sir Charles Upper, before,
leaving for Vienna, ridiculed the
nation of his immediate return to
Canada to succeed Sir John Macdonald,
who was not then known to be sick.

made by the plaintiff that the
pledge of secrecy given when he signed
the document agreeing never to play
cards again had been broken. In reply
to defendants counsel's questions, Sir
William said that he applied to Col.
Stracey, of the Scots Guards, in January
last, for permission to retire from the
army on half pay. He added that Col.
Stacey replied that the fact that he
(the PLAINTIFF had signed document of
the nature of the one already described
could not be overlooked. A letter from
Gen. Williams to Sir William Gordon
Cumming was then read and placed in
evidence. 1t was addressed my dear
Bill" and its tenor was that nothing
was left to him, the plaintiff, but
to place himself unreservedly in
the hands of his commanding Of
flcer, Col. Stracey, as he had done.
The letter also contained the following:
"You are quite at liberty to tell Col.Stra-
cey that you signed the document un-
der extreme pressure and promise of
secrecy" The witness here said: II
have never for moment ceased to deny
the accusation made against me-"
Later on. witness said that he had not
said to Berkeley Lovett: could you
not say that you were mistaken"
A sensation was created at this point
by Sir Charles Russell, who, after hear
ing this last denial from the plaintiff,
remarked gravely. fixing his eyes stead
lily upon the baronet, in the witness
box: Co. William Gordon Cumming,
you will have to be careful"
q low murmur of comment passed
over the people in court as Sir Charles
Russell uttered these words. The
plaintiff evidently noticed the effect
they had, for, almost Immediately after
wards, his manner seemed 10 lose some
OF its launry carelessneSS, and he ac-
kuowledged that he had said "some-
thing of that sort" to Berkeley Lovett.
This caused another sensation in court,
and it seemed 10 be admitted, without a
word being spoken on the subject. that
counsel for the defendants had
scored mis- first real, decided advantage
in the legal tilt which had been going
on for two days between himself and
the soldier baronet in the witness box.
Sir Charles did not seem to notice the
advantage he had gained, but, On the
contrary, appeared to be deSirOuS of
leading the Jury'S attention away from
this damaging admission, and, conSe-
quently. branched off into a lengthy
and somewhat uninteresting cross-ex-
animation of the plaintiff concerning
certain letters, and after a brief redi-
rect examination upon the part of the
solicitor general, Sir Edward Clarke,
leading counsel for Sir William Gordon
Cumming, the plaintiff was excused
from amp further questions. and the
Prince of Wales was called to the wit
ness box.

An All-Pervading Storm, With
Cyclonic Edges.

CINCINNATI, June 2.-Over half of the

edge of the great spot of wet was
made ragged with a cyclone. The

ress to New York on one side to New
Orleans on another, stretching beyond
st. Paul and Minneapolis to the
north, and on the west for an
indefinite distance. Milwaukee report
ed the worst electrical disturbance
on record, making telegraph or tele-
phone communication practically i'm
possible except at brief intervals.
FOrther northwest in the Dakotas many
towns were wholly cut off, and the fact
that a cyclone had ravaged the country
about Watertown raised the question if
there had not been serious loss of life
and property in the districts temporarily
isolated.
John Osborne, of Elkhart, Ind, fell
dead upon the appearance of a vivid
flash of lightning. The coroner says he
died from fright, not from an electric
shock. Near Columbus, Ind, Peter
Mcqueen and Fred Pancake were rem
dered insensible by stroke of light
ming, and the horse they were driving
was killed.

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 2.-Thi5
afternoon about half-past o'clock a
small, dark funnel-shaped cloud sud-
denly appeared from the south, and
soon developed into hurricane. 1t ap-
peared close to the ground, and in the
whirling motion people at once sa " that
it was cyclonic, and the roar which ac-
companied it was like that of huge
fire, swapping and cracking in its on
ward course everything that came in its
dreadful path. Fortunately it struck the
city on ITS extreme eastern limit, where
the buildings were scattered, and the
whole city is thankful tonight that it
did not come any closer. Six barns
along an alley were demolished and ut
terly ruined. The path of the storm
was only about one hundred feet wide,
and it was miraculous that not a single
house within the city limits happened
IN its way. Horses were lifted from the
ground, hurled into the air and sent
sprawling to the earth. Wagons were
taken up bodily and
Hurled to Atoms.
Five miles northeast of here two
houses and three barns were literally
carried away. The debris from the
storm as it left this city spreads along
its line for nearly mile. At Waverly,
twelve miles northeast, two coal sheds
were ruined, and the brick smoke stack
of the roller mills fattened to the
ground. o. p. Chandler and his son
were in one of the barns when the
storm struck it, and they were
pinned under the boards until as
sistance came, but were only
slightly injured. Three persons were
killed at Hazel, sixteen miles southwest
of here, and the storm is said to have
been very severe in that vicinity. No
other fatalities have yet been heard of.
a heavy rain and some hail followed
the storm, but did no damage. This is
Watertown's first experience with cy-
clone, and it was such an uncomfortably
close call that many people were badly
frightened. The damage to property i'll
this vicinity cannot be correctly COM
puted until the country places are
heard from.

PIERRE, S. D., June 2.-Gov. Mellette
to-day stated that he would not under
any consideration consent to call an
extra session of the legislature unless
two-thirds of the members would pledge
themselves to not charge one cent of ex-
pense to the state for per diem, mileage,
etc. While acknowledging the pressing
necessity of having the state repre-
sented at the worlds fair through a
generous appropriation, he was positive
on the above point. While regular ses-
Bions are limited to sixty days there is
nothing in the constitution to prohibit
an extra session being prolonged in
definitely. On this question Gov. Mel
lette states he will trust to the pledges
of Legislators if made that they will do
nothing except to make a worlds fair
appropriation.

KANSAS FARMERS.
The Secret Political Orders Pre-
pairing for Work.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.-The political
secret societies have taken charge of
the city to-day. The;grand lodge of the
Knights of Reciprocity is holding
its first annual convention in Lin
coin. The executive council of the
Farmers Alliance is having a meeting
at the Alliance headquarters, and the
Citizens Alliance is issuing circulars
and pamphlets. This session of the
grand lodge of the knights of Reel
procity will take steps toWord organiz-
ing the state in such way that the
nominations of the party can be die
tated and It's platform made if the
order continues to grow as it has with
in the past six months. Delegates
are present from every lodge
in the state, and the policy of the or
ganiZation, which has been known in a
general way to be the development of
the reciprocity idea, will be specifically
set forth. The present session will be
watched with great interest by the old
leaders of the party. They have thus
far stood aloof from the order, claiming
that secret political orders were con-
trary to American institutions. They
fear that the order will feed upon the
Kansas love for mystery, and will grow
beyond their control. The meeting is
being held behind closed doors.

State of Minnesota. The Rebekah degree
Is also present and in all there are over
500 Odd Fellows in the city. The grand
lodge and outside members arrived last
evening, and at Q o'clock this morning
parade was formed, the largest ever
held at any grand lodge session in this
state. The ladies were con-
veyed in carriages, the lodge
members were in full regalia
and as they marched down the streets,
with music accompanying, under arch
ways of evergreens hung with ensigns
of welcome ana emblematical designs,
the scene was an impressive one. The
march was through the principal
streets. AT Philharmonic hall, where
the lodges met,
Mayor TOye

Grand Lodge members and Daughters
OF Rebecca, and III. j. Willis extended
the welcome in behalf of the resident

pleased to meetin Winona, the first born
daughter, where we met ten years ago.
AT that time the order consisted of 73
lodges and membership of 1000. To-
day we have in the state 172 lodges and
membership of over 10000. Many
OF the members present attended the
session ten years ago, and many are the
expressions of wonderment and admir-
alton of the material progress and in
creased beauty of the city of Wnona
since that time. We are glad to see the
chevaliers meet us to-day, ana also the
ladies Of Rebekah meeting with us, as
nothing is more appropriate than the
meeting of chiyalry and beauty. On
behalf of all return hearty thanks for
your most hospitable welcome" After
brief reception exercises, the grand
lodge was called to order and,
After Roll Gail,

DUBLIN, June 2.-The National Press
to-day accuses Mr.. Parnell of misapply-
ing certain funds, and announces its in
tention of reiterating the charge, in
order to compel him to take legal pro-
ceedings against the publishers of the
National Press. The paper adds: "Our

service of writ from Mr.. Parnell."
BERLIN, June 2.-The most intense
interest is displayed in this city about
the baccarat trial, the upper classes
being astOnished at the spectacle of the
future king and emperor appearing as
a witness In libel suit. The papers
have to treat the case with extreme dis
cretion, owing to the jealousy with
which the kaiser guards the reputation
of royalty in general, and of his rela-
tives in particular.
