STEAMER keNNsBEc
Not Much Injured by the Collision in Boston
Harbor, Monday Night.

2 GARDINER, July 1.-THE steamer Ken
nebec arrived in Gardiner about noon
There was some nervousness among the
passengers, who congregated in the saloon
after the accident to discuss their narrow
escape, and few put on life preservers.
Capt. Collins has been steamboating on
the Kennebec river for IS years and has al
ways been careful navigator. This is
said to be his first accident. The bow of
the steamer is shattered near the beam line,
probably by coming in contact with the
shaft of the Stamford. The wood work
above the beam is somewhat scraped and
will need repairing. -t.
The steamer narrowly escaped being run
down by a tug hurrying to the assistance Of
the Stamford. The tug erazed the bow of
IIennebec and slid along the hull under the
beam.
The Kennebec departed on her return
trip to Boston, Tuesday afternoon.
Captain Collins was found in the pilot
house of the Kennebec, Tuesday afternoon
and said 1--WE were running slowly, blow
ing our whistle two or three blasts minute
when we saw the Stamford looming up
about a length ahead of us. The fog was
very thick. I guess she was running pretty
fast, although they said she was proceeding

engineers. tiremep and others, who contin.
ued at work. and bf Interruptions of trsffic
which occurred kince the injunction had
gone into effect, dnd contended that the de.
PENDANTS were dearly in contempt and
should be attached and punished
The general counsel of the Santa Fe read
another long Information charging the de-
PENDANTS with the interference of opera
lions of that road and likewise an abstract
from the contempt attachment.
The court asked the defendants if they
were represented by counsel and Mr.. Greg.
ory responded. He said Debs was in cour,
voluntarily, and although it was under.
stood this would be ex parte application the
government did not seem to charge that
either of the four defendants with per
sonally participating in the violence, mol
had the case been stated as cognizable in q
court of equity. Mr.. Gregory said he did
not understand the governments informa-
ton was for the protection of railroads or 8
movement to be used as an agency to vindi
cate the property rights of the railroads
The entire county was concerned in thi.
matter and it must be kept free Of bias.
Mr.. Walker responded that the govern
ment did not propose to protect railroad
property except SO far as the interstate
commerce and mails were concerned. TC
this the judge added: 'We are not here
for any other purpose" Continuing, Mr.
Walker said the government represented al
people, the defendants included, and would
DOT lend its aid or authority to the protec
ton of railroad property except within the
lines indicated.
The court cut the discussions short by
ordering the issuance of attachments fol
contempt against Debs, Howard, Kelihel

noon, set the trial of the contemp

After conference with his attorneys
Debs announced for the defendants thai
they would 60 to Jail and refuse to give ad
ditional bail on the ground that their bonds
men in the other cases were so bitterly at
tackled by the press that they felt grea
deal of hesitancy in asking any more citi
zens to 20 additional bail for them.

KANSAS PACIFIC BONDhOLDERs.
Securities Deposited In Trust arc Missing
The Reorganization Scheme.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Kansas Pacific
bondholders' committee announces that it
has made a thorough examination of the
affairs of the trust constituted for the bene
fit of the bondholders. The examination
discloses the securities which were deposited
in the trust have been taken away. The
committee say that this is established by
incontrovertible proof. The bondholders,
they say, should join in comforting author
ity upon the committee to contest the legal
ity of such action. If this collateral can
be recovered these bonds do not need re-
organization. All that they require Is the
collection of the property that belongs to
them.
The committee is advised by counsel that
the proceeds of these securities can be re-
covered and can be made TO realize sufil-
cient to pay and discharge the Kansas Pa
cifc consolidated bonds at their face value.
As the mortgage upon the railroad and land
grant is inadequate, il is vital to the inter
est of the bondholders to recover the di-
verted collateral assets. 1t is necessary,
the committee says, that the action Of the
bondholders should be practically unani-
nous in this matter. The committee has
therefore decided to accept deposits of
bonds with trust company Of New York
and one of Boston.

Send to Congress.

he had at cards, and inortgaged his home.

ceived cent. His wife brought the action
to save him and their little one-to save
him from drunkard's grave and the chill
dren from starvation. .-+..

was nearly overcome with emotion, and
many of his hearers shed tears as he told
how his patient, loyal wife would wait for
him at the back door until he staggered
home in the gray of the early dawn. Mr..
Settles confession made him many friends.

MINNEAPOLIS-23.073 KNOTS.
Corrected Figures Of Speed Trial Make Hcr
the Fastest Anoat.

WASHINGTON, July IA compilation
of the official data taken on the trial trip of
the cruiser Minneapolis, shows her to be
not only the fastest ship in the American
navy if not In the world, but faster even
than was supposed. When the trial was
completed, last Saturday, a rough calcula-
ton made of the time placed her speed at
23 05 knots an hour, but corrections made
by naval experts show that she accom-
pished the wonderful average of 23073
knots.
This will be the official rating and on it
the premium for excess speed will be al
lowed. At the rate of $4,000 for each
quarter knot of speed developed in excess
of the contract requirements, the Cramps
of Philadelphia will secure $il4,600 pre-
miums.
