DROWNING OF A SAILOR.
He Falls Overheard From the san

Provincetown, Mass. June 6.-A sea-
man was lost overheard from the cruiser
San Francisco Saturday night The ship
had been coaling all day and was at an
Choir The night was dark and stormy
and high sea running.
The crew of the whaleboat had been or
dered ashore to get mail. Five men were
in the boat about TO be lowered, when
suddenly it fell. bow first, into the sea
Some one had probably touched the de-
taching apparatus in the darkness.
There was cry Of man oyerboardr'
and a general rush TO the starboard side
of the ship. Men could be heard calling
for help in the surging waters. but moth
ing could be seen in the darkness Orders
were rapidly given. a boat was lowered at
once. and searchlights began TO play upon
the water. They revealed a man clinging
10 the boat stopper or rope. which hangs
from the davit head. and to him three men
were cl.nging desperately while the
waves frequently dashed over them and
hid them from sight.
A sailor with rope about him jumped
to their assistance. Three of the men
We're hauled over the ships side, but one
had been so injured that he was almost
senseiess. and was held up by the res
cuing sailor until he was pulled aboard
the dingy. His leg was broken. and to
this leg one of his comrades had been
clinging.
One man was still missing and in
search OF him and the whaleboat a boat
shot out. Anxious eyes peered out from
the ship in trail of the searchlights until
far away the boat seemed like a mere
spect dancing upon the waters, now lost
in the darkness. now in the path of the
searchlight again.
The boat was REINFORCED by the steam
launch, and, in the hope that the whale
boat with the missing man in it had drift
ed ashore. the beach was patroIled by
men of the life-saving stations
After working many hours one of the
San Francisco boats grappled the suuken
whaleboat near the ship this afternoon.
and soon afterward the body of the
seaman was recovered. He will be buried
in Proyincetown tomorrow.
The lost man was Klaas Vessels. who
was born in Mausglat. but was a natur-
allied American citizen. He was thirty
years old. and had enlisted in the Navy
in August. 1896, having served on the
Wabash and Cincinnati previous to go
ing on the San Francisco. He was cox
swain of the whaleboat.

CRUISE OF THE ARGoNAUT.
Strange Sights Seen at the River
Bottoms.


Baltimore. June 6.-Simon Lake, inven-
tor of the Lake submarine wrecking boat
Argonaut. related last night some inter-
esting facts about his two hundred miles
trip under and on the surface of the Ches-
apeake bay. Annapolis. Patuxent river.
Cristield and Hampton Roads were the
points touched before reaching Norfolk.
Mr.. Lake said:
During the trip we made various ex-
periments to demonstrate the practica-
bility of our system of submarine naviga-
ton. The whole trip was made with our
own power. The Argonaut was handled
very easily on or under the surface, or
when running on the bottom. and we
proved that the boat was perfectly sea-
worthy. At one place we struck a bank
OF sand Oh the bottom which appeared like
a hill of shelled corn. The roller wheel
would not work satisfactorily over 1t as
it buried, but We found this was overcome
easily by working the propeller, which
drove the Argonaut over 1t with ease.
ION hard bottom, where the water was
comparatively clear, the door was opened
and il was a beautiful sight to see the
bottom through the opening and the crabs
and small fish scattering as We approach
ed them. We picked up a few oysters as
we were travelling along. but as we had
but crab net to catch them with. we got
but few. because our speed was too great.
we discovered that we could see far
ther under the surface at night with our
electric lights than in daytime. The great
est distance seen in the bay was about
twenty feet. We hope to get into the
ocean next week, where we will get clear
waters. and see much farther. Our divers
were sent out from the boat and demon
strated the entire practicability of our
system. AS soon as We can get our com
pass properly adjusted we will be ready
for work

HARRITY rs RETIRED.
The GoIdbug Member OF the Ma
tiOnal Committee Removed.

IAe GOIubuS Member OF the M
tional Committee Removed.
Two months ago today the case against
William f. Harrity. the gold Democratic
member of the National Democratic Com
mittee, representing the State of PennsyI-
vania, was begun and today the Interested
parties will receive the final decision of
National Chairman Jones. Mr.. Harrity
has been custed by the votes of con-
siderable ajority of the members of the
committee and ]. NJ Guffey, of Pittsburg,
has been substituted for him the
Pennsylvania member of the committee.
This action was taken by Chairman Jones
in letter which he mailed at o'clock
yesterday afternoon to State Chairman
Garman to Mr.. Guffey and to Mr.. Har-
rity.
The presentation of this case was made
to Chairman Jones upon the printed pro-
ceedings OF the State convention, which
were submitted to Mr.. Jones by Chair
man Garman and a committee represent
ing the convention, which called upon the
national chairman in this city. Mr. jones'
at once served copy of the papers upon
Mr.. Harrity and asked him for a reply.
This reply delivered and all the
papers were printed and copy mailed
to every member of the national commit
tee with request that he vote on the
question thus submitted Every member
of the committee save four has voted;
but the result is so largely one-sided that
Mr.. Jones deemed it useless to wait
longer.
The verdict of the committee was that
Mr.. Harrity, being out of tune with his
party. and totally at variance with it on
the dominant issue before the people and
upon which IL went to the country in
1896. he should no longer affiliate with the
organized representatives of the party
during the inferregnum between national
conventions.
Acting, therefore upon the declarations
of the members of the committee. Chair
man Jones assumed the power of re-
moval and took the step which retires
Mr.. Harrity from his official connection
with the party. This action has been eX-
pected ever since the issue between Mr.
Harrity and his party was raised at the
Chicago convention.
