NEW BEDFORD, Mass. April 20-Nine
Gloucester fishermen were lost off
Long Island on Friday night when the
6shino schooner ]. W. Campbell of
Gloucester was sunk in a squalL The
seven survivors arrived here last night
to tell the story. They were brought
into port by the Gladiator from the
schooner Norman, which picked them
ap after they had spent an entire night
and day in an open boat without food.
The sinking of the Campbell was re-
narkable in several respects. The
fatal sauall was one of the most sud-
len and terrific in the memory of the
surviving seamen. When it struck her
the vessel careened under the terrible
GLOW, and all realized that their lives
we're in danger. Seven of the 16 sail
,rs quickly clambored up the masts
No sooner had they done so than a
second and more powerful gust OF
wind seized the craft and seemed to
lift it bodily out of the sea. Then. as
in. mighty grasp. the vessel was
xrenched and given sudden twist
With such violence that the masts
mapped off even with the deck like
oothpicls, and they were hurled far
way from the reach of the vortex
made as the ship fell back into the
water and sunk like a piece of lead.
After the squall had subsidized. the
noon came out, and by its light the
even survivors who still chung to the
nasts in spite of the awful shock Of
being thrown through the air an d
striking the water as they did, were
able to find a dory, in which they
climbed, after bailing it out AL
eight and all the next day they drifted
uelplessly about the sound without
food or water. Then they were picked
up by the schooner Normal and later
were transferred to the tug Gladiator
which brought them to this port.

great importations of silver into En-.
gland during the past two decades
there has been no accumulate of sill
yer. Silver bullion imported has been

payment for wheat and cotton and
other produce, and the amount of bull
lion on the London market is small
estimated at between IL, 900, 900 and
$4,000. 900 ounces
This bullion sent to our mints, the
products of our mines being coined
and exports of silver to England
stopped, what must be the result? Ev-
identity England must cease to buy in
India either wheat or cotton in excess
of what she can pay for with manu-
featured goods or interest on Indian
loans owned in England, unless she
bought from us silver which we would
be unwilling to sell at less than mint
price. Aud this price she ultimately
would pay, for she would be obliged tC
come to US for the wheat and cotton
before bought in India or elsewhere
with silver which she obtained from
us, and as result prices of wheat and
cotton would rise in America in re-
Spouse to the increased demand, and
continue to rise until prices had SO
risen that the Englishman saw his ad-
vantage in buying our silver at
s1.29 an ounce Gnstead of 6s cents as
at presently and sending it to India
to buy cotton and wheat, rather than
pay the enhanced prices for wheat
and cotton asked in America. Thus
silver would be restored to a parity
with gold. and we would have higher
prices and 1OO-cent silver dollar as
we'll as a OO-cent gold dollar, and not a
2oO-cent gold dollar as at present. =
AS prices of grain and cotton and
other produce rose with silver, it
would take less wheat and cotton and
other produce to pay the interest

which we now find it impossible to
make with merchandise, could be read

these charges would cease. Opening

also of the opinion that local boards OF

no power to compel any person to sub

boards have not the power to prevent
a child from attending school simply
because its parents refuse to have it
vaccinated. If the child has been ex-

Let those who look for England to

favor of silver read the speech of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, the schancellor

ago He says England has been pros
porous under the gold standard and it
would be dangerous for her to change
her financial policy; that she would be
the catspaw of silver nations and
would lose the advantage she now
holds as a creditor nation. He is per-
fectly right 1t is to her advantage to
enhance the value of the gold dollar
and increase its purchasing power. He
is very stupid who thinks England will
join in any agreement that will injure
her investors of commerce.-Inter-
