MARBLEHEAD'S MISSION.
Presence in Canadian Waters
Viewed With Alarm.
JINGO ARTICLE IN A HALIFAX
PArER ON THE SUBJECT.

Hints That an Engli5n Ship May Be De
tailed to Keep Ame4ican Cruiser Com
pany and Proceeds to Show How Much
Better One 1t VIII Be.
Halifax, N. S., June 9.-Referring to
a Washington despatch announcing that
the United States cruiser Marblehead had
sailed for Nova Scotia waters to prevent
Gloucester fishing vessels destroying the
nets of fishermen along the Nova Scotia
coast, the Evening Mail of this city, says:
The despatch indicates an important
move on the part Of the United States
government. While the responsible nature
of the despatch of the Marblehead is the
protection of Canadian fishermen, the
opinion is generally expressed that the
real object of the cruisers extraordinary
mission is to prevent, if possible the
repetitions of the Frederick Gerring
seizure. With United States warship
cru ising in Nova Scotia waters the inter
national 81 tuation respecting the three
mile limit becomes a most delicate ques.
ton. How far the Marblehead would
interfere, if at all, with the seizure of a
Gloucester vessel found fishing inside the
three mile limit is question the solu-
tion of which can only be imagined
The despatch of United States war
vessel to these waters was foretold in the
Evening Mail several weeks ago. The
startling proposition is now entirely con-
f1rmed. 1t may be that Vice Admiral
Erskine may see fit to detail warship
to keep the Marblehead company. AS
compared with the Crescent the United
States cruiser is not in it. The Crescent
is-e service protected cruiser, she is
twin screw, fore and aft rugged, double
funnel, 770O displacement, Il, 600 horse
power, 10 1-2 knots speed. The Crescent s
armament consists of one Ola inch %
ton breach loading gun, 10 six inch
guns, II six FOUNDER and three FOUNDER
quick firing guns, seven machine guns
and four torpedo launching tubes. The
crew of the Crescent outnum Der the
Marblehead's s crew nearly two to one,
The Marblehead is 171-2 knot vessel
5,400 horse power and is not nearly SC
well armed as the Crescent The Intrepid
Indefatigable and Talbot all on this
station are larger ships than the Marble
head.

WOODEN Mills and These We're Saved
from Destruction.-Fire Burning When
Last Dispatches Were Received.
. Pittsfeld, June 9.-There came over
the wire about eight O'Clock tonight a.
call for help from the little town of Hart
land situated about eight miles up the
branch line of the Sebasticookand Moose
head Lake railroad, and stating that the
town was threatened with destruction
by fire.
Two hose companies were dispatched
from here by train. In the meantime
the northern heavens had become illum-
mated by the confagration and in the
course of an hour or two the glare in
creased. 1t was learned that the fire
started in the town hall and was we'll
under way before it was discovered. The
town has no fire apparatus except what
| is attached to the wooden mills which are
situated some distance fir ON the centre.
The fire spread rapidly and in the
course of an hour nearly all the buildings
on the main street, many of which were
quite new, aid ol handsome appearance
were in .dalnep. The citizens worked hard,
but the heavy northerly wind helped on
the flames until over half the town was
in ruins.
The two hose companies that were sent
up from here arrived about ten o'clock,
had helped in a great measure to save
some of the buildings; but as the town is
composed almost entirely of wooden
structures only few could be saved.
The town is thickly populated and de-
pends largely upon the woolen business
Of the two or three big mills. Fortunate
ly these are situated some distance from
the centre and were not threatened.
At late hour tonight the fire was still
burning.

End Of the Sharkey -Maher Fight in
New York.

New York.
| Men Persisted in Fighting When Time
| Was Up in Seventh Roundabout De
| ciared a Draw.
| New York, June 9.-Before crowd of
more than 1O,0 900 people, Peter Maher and
| Tom sharkey met in the arena of the
Palace Athletic club tonight and the
contest resulted in most unsatisfactory
draw.
| For months past the meeting of the
sailor pugilist and his bigger built COM
patriot have been talked of almost hourly
by sporting men all over the United
States, and in fact in every quarter of
the globe where there are devotees of the
art of self defence.
| A more representative congregation Of
we'll known sporting men has never wit
messed boxing mill than that which
assembled at the club house tonight.
That there would be police interference
if the men fought hard was feared by the
majority of those who purchased tickets,
but after the two boys who took part in
the opening bout had been allowed to
pummel each other, without being
stopped by the police, those present had
hopes that the big fellows would have
a good chance to settle the much mooted
question of superiority.
Maher and Sharkey had trained care
fully and when stripped in the ring to-
night, each one was the picture of health
and strength. Maher was big favorite,
but there seemed to be plenty of Sharkey
money around. When they began oper-
ations Maher's advantage in height and
reach was very marked.
, Sharkey's style of leaving himself
open when stepping away caused a good
deal of comment. and it was easily seen
| ters as he evidently preferred to size his
man up and he looked as if he were hold
| ing back for good opening.
Maher wore an anxious look from the
very beginning of the bout and his eyes
had very wild and hunted expression
in them.
The boxing was very tame for five
In the sixth round Sharkey with well
directed straight right on the mouth

seconds before he regained his feet. AS
Maher was getting up, Sharkey rushed
towards him but was called back by

that the sailor might commit foul
