Efforts have already been started by the
ticket scalpers to prevent the passage of
the Sherman and Cullom bills, which arc
to come up at the approaching session Of
congress. Some of the arguments con-
tanned in the petition blanks are as fol-
lows:
l. The bill would tend to disturb a nat
ural and legitimate right to dispose of
ones own property in the open market.
q 1t would enable the strong railroad
systems to shut out the weak lines on
through business and thus disturb com
petition.
8. 1t would send citizen to prison and
brand him with infamy for disposing of
his own property while imposing no PEN
atty upon the railroad company for fall
ure to redeem tickets as provided.
A. The business of ticket brokerage IS
directly in the interests of the travelling
public.
5. The passenger traffic is controlled al.
most entirely by trusts, leaving the peo-
pie at their mercy, except for the relief
afforded by ticket brokerage.

CREW POSSIBLY LOST.
Schooner j. W. Gilbert Deserted and at
Mercy of the Waves.

Gloucester, Mass, November 2e.-Tid-
ings of the wreck and perhaps of loss of
the entire crew Of the j. w. Colbert,
which left Lunenburg, N. S., for Boston,
over three weeks ago, were brought here
today by the fishing schooner Edward
Grover, the crew of which sighted the
Colbert, abandoned and in a sinking con-
dition so miles southeast Of Canso, n. So
The Ill .fated schooner was then rolling
in a heavy sea, her hull we'll down in the
water2 and while both masts were stand
ing they gave evidence of being about
to fall
The Grover stood by the wreck for an
hour, but no signs of life could be dis
covered on board and the crew reluctant
ly came to the conclusion that either the
men had been taken off by some passing
vessel or what seemed perhaps equally
probable, all six had met q watery grave.
The Colbert, which was -masted
schooner of so tons, left Caraquet, N.
B., nearly month ago with a crew of
six men and q cargo of potatoes for Ros-
ton. Capt. Reisler commanded the schOon.
o1 auu ner crew COnS1sbSu Ol IcGoE OeCn-
ard, Albert Mason, Charles North, Gabriel
Hickman and Lemuel Wright. The
schooner ran into Lunenburg, N. S. on
November 1, and after stopping two
days, again put TO sea.
Between November and IL, two terrific
storms swept over the provinces, causing
fearful gales off the coasts OF Maine and
Nova Scotia, and it is thought that the
Colbert became unlnanageable in one of
these gales, and that then her crew fear
ing that she would founder, either took
to their boats and were subsequently
picked up by passing vessel, or, per-
haps, lost, or were all swept of their
own vessel by tremendous seas which
must have boarded her.
The fact that when the Ge.bert was
sighted she was over 200 miles off her
course from Lunenburg to Boston and
that she gave evidences of being tossed
about at the mercy of the waves, for
some days, also leads to the opinion that
the crew must have lett her during one
of the two storms.
The point where the Grover sighted her
was about 220 miles due east from Lun-
enburg.

BUNoo1NG AMONG ARIsTooRAcY.

London, November 29-The Lord
Chief Justice Is at present hearing an in
teresting case which is attracting the at
tention Of club men and mem bers of the
aristooracy here. 1t is the suit of money
lender who is seeking to recover from an
officer of the guards, named Clay, the
sum of II 1l3 pounds due on a promissory
note cashed for Lord VIM. Neville.
Sir Edward Clarke, @. c., representing
Clay, examined the plaintiff and showed
that Lord Neville borrowed large sums at
from thirty to forty per cent interest and
that in one case, recently the parents of
youth who had endorsed Lord Neville's s
unpaid notes, paid the plaintiff 40, 900
pounds. Sir Edward Clarke for the de-
fense alleged that Lord Neville secured
Clay's endorsement by trick, adding that
he asked Clay to witness his signature to
family documents of a private character.
These documents counsel explained,
covered paper in which there were slits,
Clay, was asked to sign. The latter
demurred and asked to see the docu-
ments, whereupon he was told the docu-
ments referred to the divorce of Lord
Nevllle's sister, Lady Cowley. CLAW ac-
cepted the explanation and signed with
out having any idea until he was sued
that he was signing promissory notes.
Clay testified to the statements made
by Sir Edward Clarke and said that after
the discovery Of the trick played upon
him he taxed Lord Neville with it. The
latter wrote and asked the guardsman to
hold his tongue for short while as other
wise he, Lord Neville, would be ruined
for life Finally Clay called Lord Neville
a swind1er.
AT the close of today's testimony tn
case was adjourned.
The money lender in the case is Sam
Lewis, who has been connected with most
of the big money lending scandals.
