Schooner Mark pendleton Leaking Badly.


Vineyard Haven, Mass, July 81
schooner Mark Pendleton, Capt. Phil
lips, of and from Bangor for New York,
with cargo Of lumber, put in at this
port today leaking badly, as the result
OF collision with the sunken schooner
r. l.. Devils, while passing throu gh
Vineyard Sound last night. The Mark
Pendleton was making great Roadway,
when her starboard anchor caught into
one of the mastheads of the Devils. Ow-
ing to the speed of the vessel the mast
was broken off near the deck and as 1t
swung around 1t punched the Mark
Pendleton's bottom with such force that
she began to leak. The men were at once
ordered to the pumps, but it was found
impossible to keep the schooner free,
while the broken mast with the rigging
attached became SO entangled that she
was compelled to tow the wreckage into
this port. A diver will be engaged to
examine the vessel today and clear the
wreckage. The exact extent of the dam
age sustained cannot be made known
until after this examination has been
made. The Mark Pendleton is the Sec
ond vessel to collide with the wreck
within two days. Capt. Phillips says
that he did not hear the bell buoy which
the government has placed near the
sunken wreck. The Lizzie D. Small,
which collided with the Devils yesterday
has made temporary repairs and will pro-
coed for New York.

SHERMAN NOT TO RESIGN JUST NOW
Republicans Grin at the Cooked Up Rumor
That Mr.. Reid is to Succeed Him.

Amagansett, l.. l., July 27.-Concern-
ing a report published in New York
paper today to the effect that Secretary
John Sherman would shortly retire from
the Department of State to be succeeded
probably by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, Secretary
Sherman said today:
III The story is without foundation. Ii
my health holds out I shall see the
Hawaiian annexation question to SETTLE
ment.'
4 Secretary Sherman said he expected to
| return to Washington in few days.
Washington, July 26.-It is understood
here that the President feels that he has
discharged whatever obligations he owed
to Mr.. Reid by sending him as special
ambassador to the Queen s jubilee. More
over, the annoyance and embarrassment
caused the administration in the seal
fisheries negotiations by the premature
publication of Special Ambassador
Fosters letter to Ambassador Hay, signed
by John Sherman as Secretary OF State,
has left their mark Third Assistant
Secretary of State Cridler has not yet re-
tracted his charge that Mr.. Reid is direct
ly responsible for thus betraying the plans
of the administration at an inopportune
moment, and it is understood that he
will not do so.
W It'll NIL hclu lduuS Oh Uulb blu0 ia u
few days, he will, it is reported, proceed
at once to Lake Champlain to make per-
sonal report to the President of his i'm.
pressions of the jubilee. At that inter-
view, possibly, something may be learned
as to how the President regards the desire
of MIR. Reid for place in the Cabinet.
New York, July 27.-Republicans in
New York who read yesterday the cooked
up report that Whitelaw Reid is to sue
coed John Sherman as Secretary of State,
If Mr.. Sherman felt called upon to resign,
grinned. They declared that they under
stood fully the motive of the report. They
also added that they were fully aware that
Mr.. Reid is ambitious to succeed Mr..
Sherman.
The story went further, and was to the
effect that Mr.. Reid has reached that
point in his life where he would like any
political job that is loose, but that Presi-
dent Mckinley wiped off the polite al
slate of obligations when he sent Mr..
Reid as Special Envoy to the Court of St.
James's at the Queens jubilee
All familiar with the situation in
Washington declared that if Mr.. Sherman
should find it necessary to resign his place
as Secretary of State he will be succeeded
by Judge Day of Ohio. now First Assist
ant Secretary of State and now doing
most of the work of the department.

BOYS HELD FOR CRANE. JURY.
School Lads Charged With killing Moose
Out of Season.

Dover, July 27.-In the municipal court
this afternoon the boys arrested at Black
pond, Cancomgomoc stream, charged
with killing moose, were arraigned.
The boys are Walter G. Merritt of Dan
bury, Ct, son of c.. H. Merritt, the
wealthy hat manufacturer, and Stanton
W. F. Forsenlan of Williamsport, Pa.
They pleaded not guilty, and were held
in $500 bonds to the third Tuesday in
August.
The boys say they were not hunting
moose on that fateful Saturday night,
but coming across the animal they tried
to see how near they might paddle and
not be noticed. 1t was playing with fire.
At scarce 90 yards the moose took fright
and the boys lost their heads and at
tempted to stop her progress. They sue
ceeded after. putting dozen bullets and
two charges of shot under her hide
When the big beast lay dead in the
water and not until then did the boys
realize what they had done. They were
frightened thoroughly and so made a
bungling attempt to conceal the evil
dences of the indiscretion, but with i'll
success, as it was seen above.
At camp, naturally, they told nothing,
but when questioned by their instructor,
they did all in their power to make
PREPARATION and offered to accompany the
officers to Dover.
