to go out through the State and talk
for the State books like private firms
have. The books are highly spoken of
in outside States, wherever they are
seen. The convention talks of bad text
books, but does not suggest any remedy

they hear them adversely criticised, and
will therefore not do good work with

The report of the committee was
adopted by viva voce vote.

FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
APPALLING DISASTER IN A COL
LlSlON OF OCEAN STEAMERS.

UHE LA BURGOYNE SINKS SIXTY
MILES NORTH OFF SABLE
ISLAND AFTER COILIDING WITH
THE BRITIsH SHIP DRONART-
SHIRE.
The French Liner La Burgoyne was
sunk off Sable Island, New Foundland,
with the British steamer Dronartshire,
last Monday morning at 5 o'clock in
collision with the British steamer
Dronartshire, and 600 lives were lost.
The La Burgoyne sailed from New
York for Havre on July 2, with S5 first
cabin, 125 second cabin and s95 steer
age passengers. besides the crew Of 22o
men.
Details Of the disaster are few. and
therefore no list of the drowned OF
the names Of those that were saved can
be given.
The account Of the disaster over the
wire is not very satisfactory, for II
states that 40 passengers and 30 OF
the crew were saved, making 200 in all
that were saved and IL also states that
GOO were lost, while the list Of passen-
gers and crew amount to 1925 persons
II this be true, and only 200 wer'
saved, the loss Of life is much create
than reported.
Mrs. A. L. Gorso was the only woman
saved, and it was only by the heroi
efforts OF her husband that she escape
the fate OF her unfortunate fellow pas
sengers.
1t is not known yet whether tn
Dronartsline was much injured by tn
collision, as only the briefest accoun
Of the casualty has been reported 8
far.
