We can readily believe it,. The
Governor has displayed thoscQualitirs
which distinguish an Executive
worthy Of the high trust rcposed in
him, When word came to jackson
that the lcyCcs were in danger he rot
right up, packed hi, grip and took the
first train for the scene Of danger.
Fortunately, he had a large force Of
convicts at his disposal. These he put
to work at once to strengthen the
IeyeeS ut weak points, AMI every Other
available resource was Cmpl0lcd t0lhe

OF % and IN Chicago platform Of vs.
do not authorize tli, action on the
Governors part, but being not only
Governor Of Mississippi, 1nt a mlnot

and he went ahead Even if he had
no means at his command, he would
have gone TO the scene and done Nhat
he could, if it had been to get busy
with a shovel and IA pile Of ,andbag>'
His presence and example, in any CIR

British Colonial secretary's Reply.

London, September 18.-The Secretary
of State for the Colonies Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, in the long letter, from the
Colonial Office to the Foreign Office,
signed by Mr.. Edward Wingtield, one of
the assistant under secretaries of state,
published by the Times today, and deal
ing with Secretary Sherlnan's dispatch to
the Marquis of Salisbury on the Behring
sea controversy, says:
"Mr Chamberlain cannot pass Mr..
Sherman's attacks unnoticed, because his
silence might be construed as an admis-
sion that the dispatch was unanswerable.
From persual of Mr.. Sherman's dis
patch it might be inferred that the pro-
lection and preservation of the fur seal
is identical with the suppression of
pelagic sealing, and his view is consistent
with the attitude the United States
hBvs maintained from the outset. In
support of their views the United States
government have departed from the
MODEST traditions of their country, which
had earned universal honor by their
efforts to vindicate the freedom of the
high seas.
The nation which is now so Jealous
for prohibiting pelagic sealing was, in
1882, with equal zeal, asserting the claim
OF the right for it's citizens not only to
kill seals on the high seas, but to land
and slaughter them on the shores of a
friendly nation"

Who, that enjoys large fields and ex-
citing contests where records are sure to
be smashed, will omit attending this
week?
The future success Of Rigby depends
largely upon this meeting, as a certain
per cent.of the purses must be secured at
the gate.
Then, too, large and enthusiastic
attendance encourages horsemen and as
sures their future patronage.
If Portland is interested to have Rigby
maintain its high position they must ac-
cord it more liberal support.

strikers Waited for Hours.

Brockton, Mass, September I9.-Up to
one O'Clock this morning there had been
several changes in the strike situation
here and while the sole fasteners and edge
makers ranks in the factories have been
reduced by several crews joining the
strikers during the day, there is reason to
believe that the strike of the lasters in
their fight against the Chase Machine
company will be settled SOON The exec.
utive board of the machine lasters and q
committee of half a dozen manufacturers
representing all the other manufacturers
have been endeavoring to come to terms
The executive board met the committee
at D. M, and the conference was in
progress until this morning. The man
ufacturers committee represented the %
shops affected by the laSters strike. The
manufacturers submitted proposition
for q settlement which, it is understood,
was unfavorable to the Chase Machine
company. Practically all the manufacture
ers have declined to take the stand against
the strikers and this has helped the lat
ter considerably.
The sole fasteners strike spread to two
other factories late yesterday afternoon
and those employed by Bion Reynolds 81
Co. and r. d. Grover & Co. came out.
The sole fasteners in ten shops are now
out The sole fasteners held a meeting
yesterday afternoon as did also the ma
chine operators, but in neither case was
anything made public. The machine
operators are determined to carry on their
fight independent of the others.
The lasters' executive board was in ses-
sion yesterday afternoon considering a
proposition of settlement, but no definite
action was taken as it was decided to con-
fer with the manufacturers committee
last evening.
The sole fasteners have begun a fight
against the Goodyear Machine company.
1t is claimed that the company put in
agents to take the strikers places in the
Churchill and Alden factory and one
other
The streets were crowded all last eve
ming up to midnight, hundreds of strikers
deciding to wait until the results of the
conference between the manufacturers
and lasters executive board was an
nounced.

Thrilling Escape Of the Crew from Des

the World from ST. Johns, N. f., says:
Two steamers became total wrecks las
night on the southern shore between Cape
Race and St. Johns.
The British stea1 nship Khodora, Capt
Flaws, left Boston,, Lincolnshire, Sep
TENDER 8, bound for Philadelphia, ballast
laden. She met wit b severe weather, fol
lowed by five days of dense fog as she
neared the Banks of New Foundland
The ship was thrown out of her reckon
ing, and no observation had been possible
for days. The capt ain thought himself
80 miles south of Cape Race, but at I
O'Clock last evenin g, the ship going at
full speed, with her sails also set, drove
north of the cape.
She struck stem OH with great force,
staving in her bows and tearing asunder

gineers and stokers had barely time to

ing impossible. to lower the weather
ones, SO fierce were the seas. Into the
boats the crew, 25i all told, crowded and
pushed off from the wreck. Not three
minutes later the boilers burst and blew
up the decks. The boat barely escaped
the flying pieces of iron and timber scat
tered by the explosion and soon the ship
began to go to pieces. The two boats
rowed for land, but soon got swallowed
in the fog and were .adrift all night. In
the forenoon the steamer Grand Lake
passed. They heard her whistle, rowed
towards her and were picked up at noon
Their ship is broken to pieces, nothing
remaining but the forecastle deck driven
in among the rocks.
Almost at the same hour, 80 miles
further north, the Norwegian steamer
Eugene, Capt. Hansen, IL days out from
Shields to Louisburg, @. B., in ballast,
met similar fate on Great Island, off
Tors Cove.
Her experience on the trip was like
that of the Inflated Khodora. She ran
over two lodges of rock and into cliff,
where she sits upright as if in cradle,
but her lnasts and funnel went this af-
ternoon and she will never leave the
place.
Her crew were in a desperate predica-
ment but by great efforts the boatswain
managed to reach the land with a life
line round his waist. He then scaled
the cliff 200 feet high, and a hawser being
got up the crew and captains wife were
hoisted to the PLATEAU above. Here they
remained shelterless all night and then
made signals of distress when the fog
lifted. Boats came off from the main
land and rescued them.

Speculations AS to the Balloon Reporie
from Siberia.

Washington, September 18.-Arctic ex-
plorers and scientists here are much in
terested in the report that balloon,
supposed to be that of Andree the Arctic
explorer, has been seen over the village
of Anizifirowskoje in the province of
Yeniseisk. Prof. William Hardness of
the Naval Observatory, when questioned
as to the location of this village, and the
significance of the report. said that he
exactly on the maps at his command,
but he found on one of them place
marked Aniziferovsk, which he assumed
was q different spelling of the name of
the same village. This place is in north
latitude about 81 degrees, and is about
200 miles west of north from Krasnoyarsk,
the town from which the telegraph1c de-
spatch was sent announcing that the bal
loon had been seen. Prof. darkness said
that as andrea had started in his balloon
from Danes Island, to the north of Spitz-
bergen, in latitude 70 degrees and so min
utes, il was clear that If his balloon was
now at Aniziferovsk he did not succeed
in his project of crossing the polar region
and coming out at some point in the
British territory of North America. sit
makes no difference" said he, what
may be the exact location of this village.
If Andrees balloon is anywhere in the
province of Yeniseisk, which is a COM
paratiyely short distance east of Danes
Island, it is practically certain that his
attempt to cross the pole has been a COM
plete failure, and instead of going north
from his point of departure, his general
direction since he left Tromsoe, has been
toward the east and SOUTH
Commodore George W. Melville, q. S.
N, the Arctic explorer, said cit is
possible that Andree's balloon may have
been seen and reported from the Yeniseisk
district of Siberia, but l am inclined to
doubt if the explorer ever reached the
vicinity or that the news of his being
there could be communicated at this time
to the outside world. There is no telling
where he drifted after he went up in the
air from Sptizbergen. l am of the opin-
ion that the balloon never went very far
from Spitzbergen, and have for some
time feared that Andree has already met
his death in the Arctic Ocean, though
even if he came down on land in the
far North the chances are he would never
be heard from"
Walter Wellman, the well-known news
paper correspondent, who has made q
special investigation of the practicability
of Arctic ballooning, discredits the ST.
berian story, though he does not coincide
with the prevalent belief that Andree is
certainly lost. In his opinion Andree's
chances of safety are about two to one.

WORK FOR THE BLIND.
Interesting Talk By Rev. f. S. Cleveland
at First Baptist Church.

The Chances in Life of the Blind, -
was the subject chosen by Mr.. FEE Cleve-
land for his remarks at the First Baptist
church last evening. Mr.. Cleveland is
the secretary of the state board of educa-
tion of the blind in Connecticut, and pre-
sident of the Pioneer Industrial Home for
the Blind in Hartford
He told how he had been stricken blind
soon after leaving college and being ad
mitted to sthe bar. For 20 years he said
that he Lad been engaged in studying the
problem of how o blind man might
successfully engage in the practice of
law. AS secretary of the Connecticut
board of education for the blind he
learned of the need of an institution to
teach the blind some ayocation by which
they can support themselves. He found
that out Of the whole number of blind
persons educated in his state in 81 years
only eight were self supporting. With
the aid of benevolent people he had found
ed an industrial establishment where peo-
pie too old to enter the state school, could
be instructed and employed. He believed
the people should rally around and sup
port this institution. The speaker men
TONED some of the avocations in which
blind people had been successful. He said
there had been some difficulty in finding
work which young women could do, but
after some investigation printing and
publishing plant had been added to the
industries carried on by the school and
said that it had been in every way sue
cess.
For the Blind.
There is to be concert In City hall on
Monday night that will interest philan-
thropic people of Portland not little
The purpose of the concert is to assist in
raising funds for the establishment of
manuel training school for the blind. An
exhibition showing how writing, reading,
bookkeeping and other business transac
lions are accomplished by the blind will
be feature of the entertainment. Rev.
F. 3. Cleveland, blind man. president
of an institution for the blind, in Hart
fort, Conn, is with the company.
