or anxiety about his vessel, but resulted
from a mistake he made in calculating
the position of the ship.
The inspectors suspended Captain Wat
kins' license as master of ocean steamers
for two years. Captain Watkins is still
in charge of the Paris and is acting in
the interests of the underwriters, to
whom the ship was turned over by the
American line officials. Captain Watkins
has followed the sea as his profession
since the year 1851, and has held Brit
ish masters certificate since the year
1866, and an American masters certifi-
cate since the year 1898, in which year
he became an American citizen.

Russia.
Russia has twenty nine women pharma-

Prosperity and Wage Advances.

Attention has heretofore been direct
ed In these columns to the steady up
ward tendency in the wages of Amer
lean labor, but every day brings addi-
tions to the long list of corporations
and firms which have advanced the
pay Of their employees. In nearly every
case the increase is purely voluntary.
The movement began the moment cap
ital recovered its confidence and hope
fulness. An era of exceptional activity
having opened, labor shares the benefit
and profit accruing from the return of
good times.
The iron industry and allied branches
have been specially prosperous, owing
to foreign demands as well as the do
nestle revival, and labor In this wide
field has felt the quickening effects of
the change. In Chicago alone, it is esti-
mated 10000 men employed in machin-
cry manufacture have had their wages
increased from to 30 per cent. Other
industries have been similarly affect
cd, and from every industrial center In
the country reports Of wage advances
are brought by the telegraph.
Little is said about these facts at
antitrust banquets and silver confer
ences. Their moral is so plain that the
most expert political sophists find it
safer to ignore them. Business has
confidence in the future. The gold
standard is established, and the party
which still labors to undermine it has
not the shadow of a chance. 1t is
divided, distracted, leaderless and con-
scious of its fate. There Is at present
TO cloud on the industrial horizon even
as big as a mans hand. We have our
own home market in its best estate and
are making rapid and great strides in
foreign markets. Commercial expan-
sion is a certainty, and there are no
drawbacks to it. 1t is the direct and
inevitable result of natural opportuni-
ties, enterprise and skilled labor. The
outlook, then. alike to capital and to
labor, is most encouraging.-C Chicago

great prestige that the President has
achieved in his admirable conduct OF
the war with Spain. 1t will doubtless
be admitted that for other reasons, as
well as for those connected with the
war, Mckinley Is much stronger with
the people than when he came before
them at the time Of his election. The
wonderful prosperity of the country,
in all lines of industry and enterprise,
should In itself convince the masses
finally of the superiority of Republican

BROTHER OF THE CZAR rs DEAD.
Grand Duke George Has succumbed
to Consumption.


Grand Duke George, brother OF the
Gear, and heir apparent to the Russian
throne, died at Abbas Touman, in the
Caucasus, from a sudden and violent
hemorrhage resulting from phthisis,
which for years had rendered his life
most precarious. He had for long time
resided at Abbas Touman, his disease
preventing him from living anywhere but
in the pure air of the Caucasus, and oc-
casionally, for a short time, on the shores
of the Mediterranean.
The Grand Duke George Alexandra
witch, second son of the late Emperor
Alexander Ill, was born at Tsarskoe-
Selo on May o, 1871. He became heir
apparent upon the accession of the pres
ent Gar, Nicholas, who was then un-
married In default of the birth of a
son to the Gar, whose marriage to Prin-
cess Alix OF Hesse took place on Nov. 20,
1894, he retained the title of heir appar-
ent.

During Monday night the steamer Por-

the rocks Of Big Fish Shoals, Off Sambro
Island, fifteen miles east Of Halifax.
Great confusion prevailed, but the cap
tain and his crew were perfectly cool and
soon restored order.
The Portia sustained considerable in
jury and through a dozen great gaps the
water poured into her hold. The panic
stricken passengers rushed for the boats.

landing was made at Inner Sambro ISL

and forty-one members of the crew found
temporary shelter in the fishermen's huts.
