THIRTY GIVEN UP FOR LOST
The People of ProvinGetown, Mass,
SOreIy Stricken Fifteen Widows and
Fifty-fOur Children Left by the Dis
nster- Ship Undoubtedly Lost In the
storm That LeveIIed Galveston

Provincetown, Mass, Dec. 6.-The
queen of the Provincetown Grand
Banks fishing fleet the Cora S. Mckay,
has been given up for lost, with all her
crew of thirty souls, by the people of
this fishing town. Every circumstance
points to her destruction at Virgin
Rocks, on the Grand Banks, in the
storm of September 70 to H. known on
land as the Galveston hurricane.
1t was in this storm that the Prov
incetown schooner of the same family
name, the Willie A. Mckay, was wreck
ed on Quero Bank, all her crew being
rescued save one.
The Cora S. Mckay sailed from here
last May. Her master was Roderick
Matheson and the crew of twenty-eight
We're mostly from here, only nine claim
ing residence in other towns.
Ali of Provincetown has hoped against
the dread "lost- sea" belief until to-
day, when the crew list was given out.
OF the twenty-eight men who sailed
from here there are left fifteen widows
and fifty-four children.
The Mckay was three master built
at Essex in 1888 for the Grand Banks
handline fishery. She measured 1893
gross tons, was a splendid sea boat and
was regarded as the best vessel sailing
from this port.

fired. The doctor fell. He arose quick
ly, however, and sprang out of the
doorway, shooting back over his Shout
der. In the street he fell dead, shot
through the left breast.
Adam Bailey, a former business part
ner of Chambers, saw the doctor fall.
He drew his revolver and leaping over
the corpse ran into the store with a
threat to kill Chambers. Chambers
raised a double barreled shotgun, and
fired. The contents entered Bailey's
breast. He fell in the store, but Cham
bers dragged the body outside and laid
it beside that of DR.. Thompson, and

gan of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty for
| the abrogation of the portion of the
| Clayton-Bulwer treaty which relates tc
the Nicaraguan canal. The senator
made it very plain in the course of his
remarks that while he was not opposed
to the pending treaty In almost any
form, his principal if not his only con-
Germ in that connection is for the pass
age Of the canal bill.
Discussing the question of fortifica-
ton of the canal, Senator Morgan ar
gued that if the United States should
proceed with the construction of the
canal without first taking the steps to
secure the neutrality of the canal Great
Britain would be grievously offended,
and that he thought it not impossible
that the offense would be considered
sufficiently grave to lead to hostilities
between the two countries.
'Do YOU mean" asked Senator Bev-
eridge. "that Notwithstanding the pres
ent friendly relations between the coun-
tries England might declare war If we
should construct the canal with our
means and in our own way?'
Senator Morgan replied that he con-
sidered that result among the proba-
bilities. But" he continued, II should
u hot 1ir n n
What England would do, he said, of
course was mere matter OF specula-
tion, and added that he had only refer
red to this possibility in order to en-
phaslze his opinion that the canal
should be constructed in any contingent
cy. The American people, he said, had
mapped out that canal and they were
not going to allow any obstacles, no
matter how serious, to stand in the
way He believed that the administra-
tion that would undertake to build the
canal knowing that to do so meant war,
would be endorsed by the people at
large by bigger majority than that
which Mckinley had received over Bry-
an in the last election.
Senator Morgan was piled with many
questions by Senators Mason, Teller
Tillman and others.
Mr.. Mason asked whether 1t was true
that if the Hay-Pauncefote negotiation
prevented the use of the canal by Great
Britain in time Of war. the converse
that it also prohibited such
use by the United States was not also
true. To this Mr.. Morgan did not make
direct reply, saying that he would take
up that point later in his discussion.
III discussing the points of the treaty
with Senator Teller the Alabama sena-
tor expressed the view that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty is unconstitutional and
for this reason, if for no other, said it
should be disregarded.

ARMY BILL PASSES HOUSE
REORG1NTZ1TION ENDORSED By
TOTE OF 166 TO 1873.

| tory-Antt-Cnnteen Amendment Suc-
cessfuI by I59 to 5I-SaIe of Intoxi-
| cants mt Military Posts Absolutely
Forbidden-W. c. IT. U. Delegates
Present.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The House of
Representatives to-day at the end of a
long sitting passed the army reorgani-
zation bill by a vote of 166 to 1873. Three
democrats, Messrs Hall of Pennsylva-
mia, Underhill and Clayton of New
York, voted with the republicans for
the bill, and Mr.. Mccall, rep, of Massa-
chusetts, with the democrats against it.
Otherwise ii was a strict party vote.
The proposition which some of the
democrats attempted to commit their
side to in CAUCASIAN extension of the
present temporary army until July 1,
1909-which was voted upon indirectly
on motion to recommit, commanded
the votes of only about half the opposi-
tion and of two republicans-Mr Nc
Call and Mr.. Mann of Illinois. Many
of the democrats, however, voted
against the motion because they were
opposed not only to the reorganization,
but also to continuing the temporary
army at its present strength.
Quite a number of amendments were
placed upon the bill before it had pass
ed. The liveliest fight was made upon
a substitute offered by Mr.. Littlefield of
Maine for the canteen section. The
substitute absolutely prohibited the sale
of intoxicants at Military posts. Large
delegations from the w. c. T. u, which
is in session in this city. watched the
fight from the galleries When the pro-
hibition amendment was carried by the
overwhelming majority of 1859 to 81, Mr..
Bartholdt attempted to secure record
vote in the House, but the peculiar par
liamentary status shut him out.
The canteen amendment as passed
follows; "The sale of or dealing in beer,
wine or any Intoxicating liquors by any
person in any post, exchange or can
teen or army transport or upon any
premises used for military purposes by
the United States is hereby prohibited.
The secretary of war is hereby di-
rected to carry the provisions of this
section into full force and effect''

gone violently insane and for a week
