REMARKABLE ESCAPE At SEA.
Sailor Rescued from tho Bottom OF an
Overturned Schooner.

| st. John, N. B.. Oct. 1S.-The steamer
| City of Monticello, which arrived this
afternoon from Yarmouth, brought in
Jonas Stafford, who has been sitting on
the bottom of a schooner for thirty
eight hours with the thermometer at
freezing and a fifty-m1le gale dashing
waves over him. He is the only survi-
vor of the schooner Rowena's crew.
The Rowena sailed light from Westerly,
r. l., October 5. Tuesday, at p. M,
she was two miles off st. John, when
the wind veered to the north and blew
her off shore. She had all sail get OF
midnight when a squall struck her and
turned her over. Stafford says he felt
her going and jumped into the forerig-
ging and as she rolled over climbed on
the bottom and got astride the keel
without getting wet. The captain and
the mate were at the wheel and a sailor
who was tending the fore sheet were
caught under the schooner Stafford
spent rough day Wednesday, and
Thursday morning the sea was very
high
This afternoon he was nine miles off
Point LepreauX and rapidly drifting
from land. He was trying to attract
the attention of fleet of schooners
near shore when he was seen from the
City of Monticello. A boat was lover
ed and had almost reached the wreck
before Stafford knew help was coming.
He was taken off with little trouble.
Stafford is but twenty-four years of age
and very strong, and well nourished.
Those who We're lost are captain Will
liam Stevens of st. Johns, Mate Leon
ards of Deer Island and Arthur David
son, Dutchman. Captain Stevens has
wife and. three children living The
Rowena was ninety-flve ton schooner
and was owned by J. w. Keast of In
diantoWn, and the captain.

The feeling is prevalent here Tonight
that the decision of the operators meet

the reduction in the price of powder
must be taken into consideration in de-
termining the net ten per cent. increase

what. Further delay in reaching an
amicable adjustment Of the trouble is
now feared, The situation otherwise is
precisely the same as that which OBJ
tanned when the first notices of the coal
companies We're posted on October 3.
Up to tonight four companies in the
Hazleton region have posted notices ac-
cepting the Scranton convention de-
mands.

BU1LER DEFENDS HIS srRATEGY.
Natal Would Have Been Overrun If He
Had Not Gone There.

London, Oct. 19.-The Pietermarits-
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
wires as follows:
"In his speech returning thanks for
the sword of honor, Sir Redvers Butler
made spirited defense of his strategy.
He said he did not believe that any
army general had ever faced situa-
ton so difficult as that which confront
ed him when he disembarked at Cape
hope of one for another seven weeks or
longer.
" 7 found Mafeking and Kimberley
beleagured,' continued he, and the two
main avenues across the Free State in
the hands of the enemy with Lady
smith nearly surrounded. If I had
waited for the army and then advanced
on Bloemfontein, it would have been
at least twelve weeks before I could
have exerted any influence on the sit
uation.
" In that time the Beers would have
completely overrun and occupied Natal
anu WHAT WOulu nave DttIl lue elltCl OL
that on Europe and the British peo-
ple?'
General Butler then proceeded to
make the interesting announcement
that Sir Evelyn Wood had wired ask
ing to be allowed to come out to serve
under him. He said he was never so
tempted in his life to take a man at
his word, for he had begun to look
upon Natal as a forlorn hope; but it
would have been cowardly to have let
Sir Evelyn come to take the risk.
I knew that if I failed to relieve
Ladysmith, he exclaimed, I should
lose the supreme command. I lost 1t

on the task and was bound to see it
through to a conclusion
Sir Redvers paid the highest COM

of his troops under the tremendous
strain, strain he believed, such as no
soldiers in the history of the world had
ever to undergo before

RO0SEVELT'S TOUR ENDING
Has Travelled Nearly 10000 Miles and
Made Nearly 500 Speeches-Greatest
Political Demonstration In the His
tory of West Virginia Accorded Him
Last Might.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. 18.-Gover-
nor Roosevelt will finish his general
campaign at Baltimore tomorrow
night after having Travelled nearly 49,
900 miles and after making nearly 500
short and long speeches. Then he will
spend the final week of the campaign
in New York state. The Boston visit
has been eliminated and if possible
Governor Roosevelt will spend next
Sunday with his family at Albany. To-
night he is jubilant over reports from
New York which to his mind presage
a great republican victory there.
The demonstration in Parkersburg
state Precedng the meetings there
political affair in the history of the
state. Preceding two meetings there
was a big parade, participated in by
marching clubs and rough riders as es-
corts to Governor Roosevelt The
streets were lined with people. Cover
nor Roosevelt spoke first to 5000 people
in the big wigwam and was then hur-
red to the auditorium, where he ad-
dressed an audience of 2,000 Other
speakers were Colonel Guild and former
Democratic Congressman Bynum of In
diana. So great was the enthusiasm
that only Governor Roosevelt was
heard to any great extent. Governor
Roosevelt stayed in his car tonight
declining several invitations from resi-
dents.
Governor Roosevelt paid special at
tention to Senator Jones denial that
the American Cotton company is a
trust. The Rough Rider produced
statement of the company and argued
that it's own figures, prospectus and
plan of procedure entitled it to the name
of a trust. Roosevelt accused the cot
ton bale trust of first securing prohibi-
tive advantages in freight rates, gain
ing the foreign markets, squelching
competition, establishing controlling
warehouses when the money could be
loaned on cotton crops, and in every
way fulfilling the most heinous offenses
that have been ascribed to the Stand
ard Oil company and other monopolies.
Colonel Hail. secretary of the state
committee says West Virginia is safe
ly republican. There are vague rumors
here tonight Of possible trouble at Hin
ton when Governor Roosevelt speaks to-
morrow night.

BOTH SHAMRoCKS TO COME
LIPTON'S PLANS FOE THE INTER-
NATIONAL RACES.
The New Yacht to be Built OH the Clyde
by HendersOns-Work VIII Begin
Shortly-Captain Sycamore to be the
Skipper and Captain Jameson to Have
General Charge.


London, Oct 18.-It Is now understood
that Shamrock H. will be built by the
Hendersons on the Clyde and that Cap
tain Sycamore will be her skipper, with
Captain jameson in general charge. Sir
Thomas Upton will take both the new
and old Shamrock across the Atlantic.
The contracts for building Watson's s
new craft are not yet closed, but 1t is
expected that work on Shamrock H.
will start shortly.
Sir Thomas hopes to arrive in the
United States about the middle of July.
In an interview with. a representative
of the Associa ted Press he said he was
delighted that his challenge had receiv-
ed such prompt and satisfactory an
sWer.
Sir Thomas added: ..The only differ
ence mentioned-that of extending the
time of the start from IL to O'clock
seems to me q good idea, fair to both
sides and tending to produce less de-
lays and better sport. 1t is the matter
of delays which l regard as my chief
handicap Crossing the ocean does not
bother me a bit, for the boats I build
can cross any ocean, and so could Co.
lumbia. 1t is the loss Of time and loss
of opportunities in tuning up, necessi-
tated by changing from yawl, or jury
rig, to racing time, which, as I consider
it, takes it out of boat far more than
the actual trip across. / shall have one
advantage this time which has never
been secured by any English challenger
that of having a boat which has al
ready raced on the other side with
which to test my new yacht. I regard
this as an inestimable help"
Suppose Sir Thomas it was asked,
1.-THE old Shamrock should beat the new
in the tria1s?"
"It Is impossible he replied; and
from the emphasis and energy of his
tone a fair idea could be gathered of the
great confidence the challenger places
in the plans drawn UP by Watson.
"Talking of fair play" continued Sir
Thomas none of us is quite infallible;
but I guarantee to say that should any
thing controversial by any chance hap
pen to occur I am certain 1 shall get
the benefit of any doubt existing, such
