BIG GUNS LOST.
Four Sixteen-TOn Cannon Cause a
Schooner to Capsize.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 5. = The three
masted schooner Agnes 1. Grace, of Bangor
Me-, capsized and sunk this morning twenty
miles east of Tybee. Her crew came ashore
in boat and landed at Warsaw island this
afternoon The schooner Grace sailed from
New York Aug. % with a cargo of salt tor
Savannah and four siXteen-ton guns for the
Tybee Notifications. All down the coast
she was driven by fierce northeaster, and
on Saturday night she came off Tybee labor
ing heavily in the gale. An effort was made
TO bring her to and save her being driven
further to the southwark, but when she was
brought to the wind and began to toss in
the heavy seas the big guns, which formed
part of her deck load, drifted loose from
their lashings and took possession of the
deck. The crew was driven into the rigging
and the iron monsters plunged about as the
vessel heaved in the sea, making every er-
fort to recapture them almost certain death
About o'clock this morning an unusually
heavy swell tossed all four guns into the
port scuppers and the vessel heeled under
the immense weight, tried to right, but
staggered as the green water broke fiercely
in over the bulwarks. She capsiZed and
sank. Captain Farrar and his crew. con-
slsting of seven men, succeeded in manning
the VessePS boat after much difficulty, and
rowed away from her just as she went
down.

Other Indiana News.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PENDLETON, Ind, Sept. 5.-This after
noon about seven hundred people witnessed
the best game of ball of the season between
Knightstown and Pendleton. The former
won by score of 10 to 8. All the players
were arrested for violating the Sunday
laws. The complaints were made by local
opponents to Sunday baseball and were is
sued by Justice Benefice. Constable John
Lewark served the writs during the sixth
inning. The game was played out and then
the players in a body marched to the
courtroom and demanded trial. While a
jury was being empaneled the Knightstown
boys took leg bail for home, and now the
cases are set for trial on Wednesday
morning next. Officers will probably go
after the KnighfstoMn nlaYerS.

TWO MAJEsTIEs SPEAK.
Emperor William and King Humber
Reply to TOasts.

HAMBURG, Sept. 5.-Emperor William,
in proposing the toast to King Humbert at
the banquet at the Kurhaus last evening,
said:
MY army thanks your Majesty for the
honor of your leading a corps in the re-
view, but not only my army, but the whole
German fatherland greets in your Majesty
an exalted prince, close friend of my father
and true ally whose presence again shows
us and the world how unshakable and
firm stands the driebund which was found
ed in the interest of peace and which, the
longer it lasts will more firmly and more
deeply strike it's roots into the minds of
the people and bear fruit accordingly"
King Humbert replied in French. He said:
Il am glad of the opportunity to give you
fresh testimony of the cordial friendship
and alliance between our governments and
states. Your Majesty has set your reign
a noble task by devoting your constant eff
forts toward peace, the maintenance OF
unanimous wish of our governments and
also in my most ardent desires. l think
l shall always remain faithful to my coun-
try's mission by giving loyal support to
the accomplishment of this work-the
greatest and most beneticent of all for the
welfare of nations and the progress of
Emperor William then conferred the
decoration of the order of the Black Eagle
upon Count LAMA di Bosoa, the Italian
ambassador to Germany. The toast pro-
posed by King Humbert is considered to be
so worded as to make it understood that
while Italy will adhere to the dreibund she
does not mean to IMPAIR her relations with
other powers; and it was evidently his view
to emphasize this fact. During the recep-
ton King Humbert held a long converse
ton with the military attache of the
French embassy.
An open-air service for the troops was
held to-day which was attended by the
royalties present at the maneuvers, and at
which Emperor William announced that
Queen Margherita had been appointed chief
of the Eleventh Battalion of ChasSeurs.
The Queen then made a brief address, the
ceremony ending by march past and the
playing of the Italian royal march.

Taking All cautions to Prevent His
People from Joining the Fanat-

LONDON, Sept. 6-The Times this morn
ing publishes a dispatch from Sima saying
that further evidence has been obtained of
the desire of the Ameer of Afghanistan to
prevent his subjects from joining the from
tier disturbances. The British agent at
Cabul submitted, at the Ameers request,
a written statement showing the points
upon which the government laid special
stress. The Ameer replied to this statement
in his own handwriting, emphasizing his
previous statements that his subjects do
not dare to openly take part in the fight
ing, but they have been drawn away Sc
cretly by the Mullahs, whose conduct he
strongly condemned. Not the least doubt is
entertained, the dispatch says of the
Ameer's desire to fulfill his obligations
Loyalty. He has issued orders that his
troops be Withdrawn from the detached out
posts, SO that they can be kept together
under the control of officers who are able
to prevent them from deserving and join
ing in the fighting. An important step has
been taken by Maharaja Sir Biz Shamsner
Jang Rama Bahadur, prime minister of
Nepaul, who has forbidden the circulation
in the kingdom of native newspapers which
he considers sedtious and hostile to the
British government. He has thus set a good
example to the native states generally and
to the government of India, which is still
considering measures to check seditious
writing.

Vigilance Committee Held Up.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 5.-Frank l.
Champion, of Mount Vernon, Wash, is
one of the passengers down from Skaguay
on the steamer Queen. He went up to
look over the situation and took a trip
over both passes. He says that the killing
of horses is caused largely by novices who
do not know how to load them. In many
instances the packsaddles are allowed to
wear great holes in the horses backs The
men who are fixing the trail will be the
first to profit by it. This has been decided
by the vigilance committee. and no man
can go on the trail with packs without a
certificate from the secretary that he has
done so much work on the trail. One man
whom Mr.. Champion saw had got nearly
all of his outfit over when the trail was
closed to travel. The committee refused
to let him take the remainder of his pack
over. His entreaties did no good. In des-
peration he went back and got a Win
chester rifle and two revolverS and held
up the committee and went through. At

are much the same as on the Skaguay
