WILL BUILD HIS
C0RK-SCREW BOAT
Inventor Gresham Claims a
Speed of Fifty Miles an Hour
For His Craft

New York, Dec. 2S.-James Gresham of
Brooklyn, N Y, has found capital to
demonstrate the commercial uselessness
or success of his cork-screw boat. for
which is anticipated a speed of so miles
per hour. W. ]. Arkell today organized a
private syndicate of New York capitalists
which has agreed to furnish $4,000 with
which to build small boat on the cork
screw plan, with the further understand
ing that If it demonstrates it's ability on a
commercial scale to approximate the
speed which the models have reached the
syndicate will furnish sufficient capital TO
build boat.
1t is expected the boat will cross the
Atlantic in less than three days The
vessel, the construction of which is being
arranged for at the Newport shipyards. IS
not intended for passenger service. but
only for the conveyance of malls and fast
freight and for use at life saving stations.
1T is so constructed that it can pene-
trate the surface of the waves of the
toughest water The boat is cylindrical
in shape, with fiange like a cork-screw
extending from bow to stern. and the outer
shell reyolves through the water while
the inner compartment retains its equi-
poiSe.

Two Million Visitors.

New York, Sept. 29-Beginning today
there will be real crush in the New
York hotels. Practically all of them were
filled to their utmost capacity several
nights ago, but thousands OF persons who
engaged quarters weeks and months ago
will arrive in the city to claim them.
Other thousands were accommodated last
night with the understanding they should
seek other quarters today.
Governors, captains OF vessels in Dew.
ey's fleet, members of the cabinet and Off.
GERS high in the navy will arrive in the
city. Quarters for all of the citys guests
have been provided, but all others who
come to seek rooms III the hotels will be
turned away.
Many of the leading hotels, while turn
ing away strangers, have been reserv.
ing a considerable number of rooms for
their regular patrons in case any should
appear at the eleventh hour to seek ac.
commodations. Before nightfall, however,
everything worth having will be taken,
and visitors must turn to the boarding
houses.
Estimates of the number OF visitors al
ready here range from 100000 to l,OOO,.
900. Most OF the railroads agree that un-
less weather conditions are most unfavor-
able, there will be 100000 visits here
on Friday and Saturday. The greatest in
ward movement is expected on Thursday
night.
All the roads have been running about
two-thirds of their capacity for the last
week. Railroad men themselves express
establishment at the great advance move.
ment toward New York. Low rates do
not go into effect until Thursday, so their
inducement has not brought the thou
sands who have come so far in advance
OF the reception ceremonies. 1t shows, too,
the railroad men say, that the visitors who
are now coming to New York have plen-
ty of money to spend

moment was assumed TO be a conspiracy
to swindle the cotton exchanges OF the
country. The panic was due to an appar.

based on alleged Liverpool advices, and il
was roughly estimated that $4,000 had
been lost on local transactions "a a re-

This action, however, promises to be bit.

Montreal, Oct. 1.-Two hundred and fiji
ty scantily clad, baggage-bereft men, wom'
en- and children were on board an Inter
colonial special which steamed into Bona
Ventura depot tonight. They composed
the greater number of those who sailed
from Liverpool on September IA on board
the steamship Scotsman, bound for Mont
real, which was wrecked on the shores OF
the Straits of Belle Isle, at 2:3O o'clock on
the morning of the 2lst. 1t was not only
a tale of shipwreck that they had to tell,
but one of death, of suffering and pillage,
for 10 at least of the Scotsman's passeu-
gers persisted, all suffered cruelty from
cold and privation, and almost the worst
horror of all, the men who were supposed
to succor and assist those committed t"
their care, in the hour of need turned on
the helpless passengers and with loaded
guns and reyolvers, compelled them TO
part with the few valuables saved.
