NEARLY ON THE ROCKS.
Schooner Off Her Course Near Cosy
 Beach Last Night.

About o'clock last evening the at tention of people at the Momauguin at Cosy Beach was attracted by the strange actions of a two-masted schooner which appeared close in shore far off the usual course of vessels of her kind The schooner showed no lights and seemed to be off her course. She was headed for shoal of rocks off shore and stopped just before strik- ing them. She finally anchored for a. short time and then hung out red light. In about half an hour she head ed for deeper water and continued un- til she was out of sight It was thought by those on the beach that the vessel was off her course and had lost her bearings, but finally righted by the aid of the lights at the Momaugun.

BRITISH CABINET TO MEET
SUNlYONSES ISSUED TOR -INOTHEE
 COUNCIL ON FRID1l.
Officials Handling War Crisis With Great DeIiberation-BeIte That Cow ernmemtis Trying to Gain Time-M Mili- mors Of Movement of BOer Troops Across Natal Border.
Across Natal Border.

London, Sept. 19-Summonses were issuel late this afternoon for cabinet council, which it iu understood will be | held Friday This is regarded as the result of the visit of the premier, Lord | Salisbury, to London, to which he came | this afternoon, remaining at the for eign office from 80 p. m. to 6:3O p. m. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, was present in the building at the same time, and as a private doorway connects the offices, it is presumed that the summonses were the result of joint deliberation
 The lack of all excitement in official circles bears evidence of the deliberate manner in which the highest officials are handling the crisis. Nor is it by any means certain that the cabinet council will adopt extreme measures, in spite of the uncompromising nature of the Boer reply. This deliberation .on the part of the government is interpret cd not only in London but in other European capitals, as a desire on the part of Great Britain to gain time while the transports are hurrying to Cape Colony.
 The Berliner Neustenachricten com menting on this to-day says: "The present calm is only meant to deceive the Boers. When England feels equal to the task of facing the Boers this peaceful tone will give way to a blat- ant cry for war"
 Even rumors of a movement of the Boers across the Natal border appar- ently fail to excite the military author- itias here, who profess at least, not to fear such a contingency for the present. In the meantime the move ment of troops proceeds. The Royal West Sussex regiment left to- day for Malta, where it will replace the First Border regiment, which goes by the steamer to Natal.
 The government of the Netherlands is privately exerting it's influence in favor of a pacific solution. It is understood that President Kruger has unofticially approached three powers, including Italy, with a view to their intervention Special despatches from South Africa report various details of preparations for war on both sides. It is reported that the Boers have bought cyanide of potassium for the purpose of poisoning streams in the Transvaal likely to be used by the British troops.

Put Out Ina the sixth Roumd-Eusy
 Time for M'Coy

New York, Sept. 19-Charles (KiO
 Mccoy had very little difficulty in get
 ting away with Steve O'Donnell in the arena of the Broadway Athletic club been a disagreement between the two
 pugilists as to who was the better man,
 as they had fought draw of ten rounds in a local club house in the presence of a few club members. O'Donnell is
 clever boxer, but Mccoy is equally
 clever and in addition he is a fighter
 Despite ODonnells advantage of
 height, reach and weight, Mccoy went
 at him gradually without taking any
 careless liberties and soon had his big
 adversary in trouble. O'Donnell never
 landed a good blow on Mccoy, while the
 Kid was gaining ground in each round.
 His left was always getting to the face
 or wind O'Donnell staggered frequent
 ly and in the sixth round went down from a left swing. He remained down
 as long as rules allowed him, but it was all up with the big fellow. Mccoy went after him with swinging lefts and
 rights and soon hoored him with an other hard left swing, from the effects of which he was unable to recover un- til counted out. Steve had to be assisted
 to his feet by the referee, while Mccoy l; hurt The betting opened at to i on Mccoy, but these odds were increased to 10 to 1 with very few takers.
 After the men had returned to their dressing rooms Mccoy said: T will post $1 ,000 tomorrow to meet Bob Fitz- simmons for the title of middleweight championship of the world at 15S pounds My money will remain up for thirty days and should Fltzsimmons ig- nore my def will claim this title and withdraw my money, after which l will challenge F7itzsimmons at catchWeights This ought to make him come to time if he intends to fight anyone. If Fitz- simmons fails to defend the middle weight championship and I claim it, will defend it against all corners, ne- groes barred, at l5S pounds"
 Every inch of the vast seating space in the club house was occupied half an hour after the doors were opened and hundreds of persons thronged the streets in front of the building eagerly crowd ing in for standing room. Since the club house was opened there has never been such large attendance. George F. Considne, who has had many years of experience in pugilism, assumed the of the club tonight. 5il- Iy Needham, formerly of St Paul, but now of this city, met Jim Mckeever of in the preliminary bout of fifteen wounds at 12S ponds. The con- test was at no time exciting. Referee Johnny White declared the bout a draw The principals in the star event then entered the ring. McCoy's seconds were Doc Payne Kid Mcfarland and Joe Falrey, O'Donnell's seconds were Beech Ruble, Jim Lane and Sooner" Bennett. The men were introduced to go twenty rounds at catchweights and both received a hearty reception.

CLYDE srE1MERs AsH0RE.
Cherokee in Vineyard sound and City
 Of Jacksonville on southern Coast.


 Pasque Island, Mass, Sept. 19,-The Clyde line steamer Cherokee, Captain Mckee, bound from Jacksonville, Fla, for Boston with a large cargo of mis- cellaneous freight and six passengers, went ashore on the southeast end of Naushon Island, in Vineyard sound, shortly after noon to-day in a dense fog, staying large hole in the forward part of her hull. Her number two hold is full of water, but the full extent of her damage cannot be ascertained until she is tloated. Her after compartments remain free from water owing to the tight bull1heads, and her engines remain in good working order. The vessel is nearly on an even keel, heading east ward, and perfectly easy, It is thought that with favorable wind she can be tloated. The passengers, who showed no fright whatever, at first declined to be taken off by the tugs that went to the steamers assistance, but later, with the exception of one woman, they were in- duced to go The passengers were Dr. Ladd and wife, MT Decock and son and Miss Mary Hooper, all of Boston, and Mrs. M. Pendleton of Portsmouth, N. H, When the cutter Dexter left the Cher0- kee at o'clock tonight she was mak ing water so freely that it was thought best not to attempt to pull her off in her present condition, but with the arrival of powerful pumps and other Wrecking apparatus it is believed the steamer can be saved if the weather continues favorable. The Cherokee is one of the largest steamers of the Clyde line. She has been running regularly to Boston since June. and prior to that had made several trips to that port. She was built by William Cramp X Sons at Phil adelphia in 1886, is constructed of iron, had four bulkheads and her general di- mensions are as follows: Length, 263 feet; breadth of beam 43 feet, and depth of hold, 206 feet. Her net tonnage is 1,967, while the gross is 2,557.
