Hoboken at one o'clock yesterday after
noon, for Bremen, struck the in-comir {:
Italian bark Mascot, Oft buoy No. s.

struck the inward-bou vessel almost
amidship, cutting her in two. The
bark sunk in thirty feet of water.
The vessel was off Bay Ridge when
the Havel struck her. While the steam
ship was backing off, several of he
boats were lowered and eleven of the
crew of the Mascot were saved. Two

Five Mon Quite Confident That They VIII
@s3&H#. Be the Man.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-rhere seemed to
be practically very little change in the
speakership situation this afternoon, All
fiys of the candidates continue to express a
cheerful confidence. There are no signs of
any Withdrawals prior to the first ballot,
and there ia nothing as yet to demonstrate
the ability OF any one of the candidates to
transfer the bulk of his strength to an
other IA the event Of his withdrawing. The
friends Of Crisp and Mills continue to be
very aaugulne of winning and are working
Tor an early termination of the contest.
They still say that they expect to see n
break among the supporters of Springer,
McMillin and Hatch after the first or sec
ond ballot. At Crisp''s headquarters it is
sata that two Or three votes have been
transferred TO him from the doubtful
column. Af1lls il still hopeful of
q considerable accession of strength
to coIile between now and Saturday. There
ssHnnea TO be = general impression this
afternoon that Crisp was at present doing
exceedingly we'll, but his opponents insist
that he has reached his limit of strength
Annd would be unable to obtain a majority
ON the total vote. McMiiiin and Springer
eay. they will keep in the fight to the end
Believing the contest between Mills and
Crisp will have no reGult except to necessi-
tate the choice OF another candidate. and
both of these gentlemen hope to be the
nhoics. Hatch, though not us yet so active
