WANTS RECIPROCITY.

St. Johns, November 14.-The cabinet
of Sir James Winter will formally assume
office on Tuesday next at noon, Sir Will
liam Whiteway and his colleagues in the
retiring ministry resigning their port
folios two hours earlier.
The new premier will probably, imme-
dlately on attaining power, claim a
representation for the colony of New
foundland at the reciprocity conference
between the United States and Canad a
now sitting at Washington. His justifi-
cation for this step is the fact that the
late James G. Blaine, when secretary of
state, signed a reciprocity convention
with Newfoundland, dated in 1890 The
British government disallowed.. ssthis be-
cause Canada was not included in it's
preferential arrangements. Now New
foundland will claim that Canada is not
entitled to negotiate for reciprocity un-
less Newfoundland is included in the
benefits of the scheme.

RODE OUT THE STORN.
Portland Briggs PerilOus Adventures
In the Gale.
WAS BLOWN FROM CAPE COD TO
MAINE AND BACK.

The III. n. Wright Anchored off Cape
Cod in Sinking COndition-Was
Bound From Perth Amboy to This Port
With Coal.
Chatham, Mass, November 14.-Tfe
brig 81, N. Wright, Capt. Williams, of
and for Portland, with cargo of coal
from Perth Amboy, anchored off here at
midnight in a sinking condition, after
being blown about for three days in the
vortex of the storm, the centre of which
swept over New England Friday morn
ing and left behind it a long list of
casualties.
The storm the Wright encountered came
from the west, and passing the lakes and
New Enlgand, was central somewhere in
Southern New Hampshire at midnight
Thursday night. AT that time the Wright
was Is miles south of Cape Cod, with a
smart southeast breeze, but the wind
instantly increased until as the storm
moved toward the Eooast it blew gale
and of course almost directly toward the
storm centre.
BY dawn Friday morning the wind
hauled mora to the southwest and blew
harder than ever. By this time the
Wright was nearly over to the Maine
coast, but before land was sighted and
the vessel could reach harbor, the storm
centre swept further out to sea.
The second shift in the wind soon
drove her off the Maine coast and back
again nearly over the samo course. The
Wright rolled SO in the mountainous chop
that her cargo of Goa, shifted, giving her
a bad list to starboard and starting some
of her seams.
Every movable object on her deck was
swept away by the terrific seas which
continually bearded her. while the crew
only managed to keep from following
these articles by lashlng themselves to
various parts of the ship. AS the gale
kept on unabated, the leak increased
until the vessels decks were almost on
level with the water and the crew ex-
pected to founder. The wind blew from
the northwest fer nearly II hours with
great fierceness, but yesterday noon began
o abate somewhat and at the same time
it was almost from the north. At dark
Capt Williams lsighted Highland Light,
past which he had sailed As hours before.
The sight of land encouraged the we'll
nigh exhausted crew and again they
started the pumps, which in the teeth of
the gale they had abandoned. A little
sail was got on the ship, and under this
she drifted down the Cape until about
midnight, when Capt. Williams managed
to get her in near the Orleans shore
where her anchors were let go and she
gradually rounded to abreast of the new
life saving station at North Chatham.
+ AT 2 o'clock this morning the crews of
the Orleans and Chatham life savings
stations boarded her and the tug Storm
King fortunately coming alongside about
noon, she was taken in tow for Vineyard
Haven, the Orleans crew remaining on
| board to assist the briggs crew at the
pumps. As the weather is still favorable
she will probably arrive at Vineyard
Haven tomorrow morning. The expert
ence of the Wright in being blown from
| Cape Cod almost to Portland and back
again by the same storm and survived
| it all, has probably not been equalled by
| a ny vessel for many years.

HOT SHOT FROM REV. t. DIXON


New York, November 14.-The Rev
Thomas Dixon, pastor sof the Peoples
church, made stirring appeal today on
behalf of interference by this country
In the Cuban revolution. Mr.. Dixon de-
olared that the United States should long
ago have stepped in and called halt in
the conflict for the sake of the struggling
Cubans. He said, in part: "The fright
full stories of the butcheries that are
daily committed by Spain," said he,
'are enough to make "a people. rise in
mighty wrath and put an end to it.
Yet we have stood by and seen all this,
not only seen all this, but spent So, 900 600
to assist Spain in doing it. The blood of
the Cuban martyrs and the skeleton
corpses OF the inoffensive non COM batants
is stain of dishonor on the record of
America.
This talk with Spain, what is in it?
1t is bluster in Madrid and the drivel of
towards and fools in America. If Spain
is mad enough to seek war it will be
merely an attempt to disguise q dishonor-
able suicide. We could raise an army of
100000 and build navy that would
sweep the sea and when war would be
concluded we would dictate peace no
in Havana, but in Madrid, and there
would be one less crowned head in the
world

Everyone who has been wise
enough to take MALT MURINE has
found that what we have claimed re-
garding it's virtues as a builder and
tonic to be true in every particular.
The demand for MALT MURINE

tanned by it's use are so marked that
there is no room to doubt it's curative

looking around school-boy-like to
make more trouble.
In Cuban matters Mr.. McKin-
ley is moving slowly, making his
own Investigations and not allow
ing his action to be forced until
the situation has been canvassed
by his own emmissaries. We be-
lieve the annexationists may study
this phase Of the Presidents policy
with profit. Our people have al
ready had assurances that the
President has not forgotten Ha-
wall. At the same time the local
anxiety to have our difficulties set
tied should not blind the eyes of
the people to the fact that the shap-
ing of the Mckinley Hawaiian
policy is not the work of a day or a
month.
Notwithstanding Hawaii stands
ready to place itself under the Am
erican flag, the question of annexa-
ton presents quite problem. Ha
waii practically says it will accept
the form of annexation offered by
the United States. Thus it leaves
the solution of the matter in the
hands of a President who has not
been in Office four months. Hav-
ing full confidence in the ultimate
results, the people of this country
have no right to feel sighted or
down hearted because their cause
has not received President McKin-
ley's immediate and undivided at
tention. We may depend upon it
that he will draw his own conclu-
sions and act with conservative
deliberation. A patient waiter is
no loser.

why the Greeks Lost.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Evening
World prints today a cablegram from
its correspondent at Athens giving
signed statements by members of the
Greek Ministry regarding the failure
of the war against the Turks. The
Prime Minister, NJ. Ralli, says: Greece
should not be censured for the inactiv-
ity of the navy, nor should the great
powers be blamed. They did not re-
strain our ships. Christianity did. Had
we bombarded the seaports of Turkey
and the Aegean islands, the Turks
would have massacred the Christians
as they did the Armenians. Could we
have used the navy, the result Of the
war would have been different. The

M'KINLEY'S POLICY.


1t is highly interesting to note
the comments upon President Nc
Kinley's Cuban policy made by
the silver Democratic, and the
Cleveland Democratic papers. The
former maintain that the Presi-
dent is merely copying the Cleve-
land policy while the latter are
fearful that he is listening to the
cry of the lingo. Neither seem to
recognize that Mr.. Mckinley has
an individual policy, the fruits of
which will be more in evidence
when he has been longer in office.
The delays of which some com
plain and the line of investigation
which does not suit the opinions of
others, points to nothing if not the
fact that Mr.. Mckinley has a mind
of his own. He will move care
fully and never allow his admins
tration to be characterized by bull
in-the-china-shop methods. Few
Presidents have in times of peace
faced the serious questions placed
in Mr. McKinley's hands for solu-
ton when he took the oath of of
flee. He has enough to take care
