Graves--The Others Become CastaWays
 Upon the Field of Ice that Wrecked Their
 Vessel - Rescued Shortly After and
 Landed.
 ST. JOHN, N. F., June 20.-The schooner Rose, Henry Gosse, master, bound from Spaniard's bay to Labrador for the summers fishery, having on board fishing crews numbering fifty five persons, struck an iceberg Sunday afternoon, off Partridge Point during dense fog, and sank in ten minutes. The iceberg being low and flat, forty-three persons managed to chamber upon it. The remaining twelve, however, sank with the ves- sel. The latter included eight men, two women and two boys. The sur vivors consisted of twenty-seven men, nine women and seven children. and but for the accessibility of the iceberg none of them would have been saved. The body of one woman was recovered.
 Shortly after the crew of another hearing the cries of people on the ice berg took off the castaways. The Irene brought them to Red Coachman's cove and landed them.
 Rev. Father Sheehan, the priest at that place. did his utmost to help the unfortunates. Arrangements are be- ing made to get them home. Nothing was saved except what the rescued people wore at the time of the disaster. The loss will be heavy, as the Rose was laden with fishing supplies and pr ovi-

Centennial of the National Capital.

When the year 1900 arrives, 1t will be
in order to celebrate the centennial of
the establishment here of the national
capital. The celebration should not be
q small affair, nor ought it to be mere
feeting show - a day Of professions,
bands, banners and oratory. It should
be an exposition of what this nation has
done in the hundred years since It's seat
of government was taken possession of
by the few officials who then directed
affairs. The exposition of 1900 should be
compact and select. Preliminary ex-
aminations by competent experts should
determine tho worthiness of proposed ex-
hibits, and only the best ought to be
given space. An International exposition
at that time would conflict with more
than one European endeavor in the same
line, but aside from that rather impor-
tant consideration it would undoubtedly
be better to make the affair national
rather than internatiopal.-Was ashington
