month ago the steamer Harlaw brought
from Halifax TO Bonnie Bay large freight Of
empty cans for canning Holsters for French
packers. and they refused to pay cuatoms du-
ties on them. declaring that tho French treaty
rights permitted them to take in oil merchan-
disc free. The customs authorities contended
on the contrary that goods coming from one
British port to another In a British ship should
pay. and. tho French still refusing. seized the
goods as contraband. Tho matter was rele-
gated here for settlement by our Government.

Cleopatra was to take part in the fete on July

The Governor and the Cleopatra's officers
are indignant and a strong feeling prevails.

Cleopatra will go after her when the Commo-

Tho iron steamboat Pegasus left Concy ISL

few minutes tho Pegasus would again be

This restored confidence. but tho passengers
stuck close TO their cork belts until Capt. Cum

boat and found her unhurt. This occupied
some time. Then the boat was carefully
backed off and headed for Pier /. which she
reached at 1918

and fear OF all dagger was past. an amusing
phase OF the mishap became apparent.
The passengers began to lay aside their life
preservers. but In doing so they found that
they would boar an unpleasant reminder OF
their fright ut least until they had reached
their homes.
The life preservers recently had been paint
ed white and had not quite dried when they
were suddenly pressed into use last night
In their excitement those who we're so
eager to insure themselves against watery
graves had failed to observe that they were at
the same time smearing their clothing with
unsiehtly daubs OF paint When they made
the discovery later they were as angry as they
had been frightened q few minutes before.
Capt. Cunningham said that the Pegasus was
two or three Of her lengths out OF the usual
course when she struck. but that she had sus-
