FORMS A NEW CABINET.
Senator Waldeck-Roussenu Succeeds
I'm organizing n New French
Ministry.

Paris, June Estate Thursday aft
ernoon the announcement was made
that Senator Waldeck- Rousseau had
completed the formation of a cabinet
with the exception of the portfolio OF
public works.
The senator, accompanied by the new
cabinet ministers, proceeded to the
Elysee palace at 6:10 p. m, to present
his colleagues to President Loubet.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau ignored NM.
Guiilain, Krantz and Poincare, in view
Of their attitude during the previous
negotiations.
The new cabinet as organized is as fol-
lows:
Senator Waldeck- Rousseau. president of
the council OF ministers and minister OF
the interior
M. Delcasse. minister of foreign affairs.
Gen. Marquis de Gallfet, minister Of
war.
NJ. DeLanessan, minister of marine
NJ. NOUS, minister OF justice.
nj. CaillauN, minister of finance.
M. Millerand, minister of commerce.
NJ. Leagues. minister of public instruc-
tion.
NJ. Decrais, minister of the colonies.
M. Jean Dupuy. minister of agriculture.
'S NoD'iNs was SoihpiNtSt W 'hS ~
ceptance of the portfolio of public
works by NJ. Pierre Daudin.
The new cabinet is strong combine
ton, and is wholly in favor of Dreyfus;
but, since ii contains such extreme men
as Marquis de Gallifet and NJ. Millerand,
it can hardly be expected to have long
career. The socialist party have al
ready declared that they will not in
any way be bound by or responsible for
NJ. Millerand's acts as minister. The
latter, however, is a powerful debater,
who will share with NJ. Waldeck Rous-
seau the brunt of defending the cabinet
in the chamber, most of the other min
listers being farless skilled in debate. NJ.
Waldeck-Rousseau, who is perhaps the
most successful pleader AT the French
bar, loses an income of G 10000 by be-
coming minister.

Mansfield, o., June 21.--A storm OF
night and extended to other points in
Ohio, notably Shelby on the northwest
aad Loudonyille on the southeast. Here
the storm lasted from 1880 until after
midnight, and was accompanied with
active thunder and lightning and with
heavy rain and hail. A number Of
houses in the lower part of the city
were moved from foundations and dwell
lilgs were under water several
feet deep.
At Shelby the rise in the little stream
running through the town was so rapid
that citizens were aroused at two a. III.
by the fire alarm and by ringing of
church bells. All cellars were flooded
and the principal streets became run
ming streams. The post office could not
be reached early in the day and bust
ness was at a standstill. A new bridge
was wholly submerged. The damage
TO it cannot be ascertained until the wa
ter subsidies. The Baltimore d. Ohio
railroad suffered from washouts.
At Loudonville the storm seems to
have gathered strength and there was
decided cloudburst. Horsetail creek
soon broke over its banks with such
force that the first house il struck, that

foundations and completely destroyed.
Hunter is missing and may be drowned.

LAKE PILOTS LEG.

How 1t Solved the Mystery of the
Wreck of a Steam Propeller.
"We are never amazed when vessels
go aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during the gales that are common
on that treacherous water, for we ex-
pect such things then," said lake
skipper, "but when one is grounded on
q clear day and wrecked OH course as
clear as the day in the hands of a pilot
that knows the ground like a book we
naturally wonder little and want to
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case of the propeller Susan e.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with q $40, 900 cargo.
1.-The captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake TO the other as
one of the most expert navigators in
the lake business. He had been lying
up long time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one of his
legs that leg had to be amputated to
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip of the Susan
Z. Peck, and he ran her aground.
"The puzzle to everybody was how
it was possible for the propeller, ham
died by a man of such skill and expert
ence, on straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course. The pilot
III
person OF all. He soon got another YES
sci, and this one he ran in such an err
ratio manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her up, and his usefulness as
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see if they could dis
cover what was wrong with his sea-
manship.
After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg a great deal of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places. Sitting close to the pinnacle, as
he did while steering, this steel derang
ed the compass go that it threw the
wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan-
gered the other vessel that the wheel
man navigated subsequently. This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness of the theory the pilot
took charge of a vessel without wear
ing his false leg. Everything worked to
a charm. The mystery of the Susan E.
Peck was solved. and the pilot was re-
stored to his old place in the confidence
of Lake Erie shippers and vessel own
