minister Of Everett Robert Dingwell.
(brother Of WiIliam), George Crockett OF
Chelsea and James McIntire of Revere,
left Chelsea Saturday night in the cat
boat Niobe, owned by Colson and Buck
minister, for days fishing in the harbor
and sailed direct to City Point. Early
this morning they were seen past the
City Point life saving station, the wind
blowing fresh and the sea being quite
choppy. Soon after the waves began to
run higher and the water SO filed their
boat that they were kept constantly en-
gagged in bailing. The wind increased
and their position rapidly grew worse.
When off Long Island, the water gained |
fast upon them and although they worked /
desperately, the boat gradually began to |
sink until finally it was completely en-
quilted by the waves With rush the
men sprang from the boat and attempt

never reached it. Buckminster, Crockett,

IN THE DASH.
No Explanation OF the Ministers' Re.
fusaI to Leave Pekin.

Washington, June 30.-Although no
less than four accounts have come to
the State and Navy departments respect
ing the condition Of the foreign ministers
at Pekin, not one of the messages gives
the slightest intimation Of the reason
why the ministers failed to leave the
Chinese capital when given a days time
in which to do so.
7 One assumption is that the ministers
declined because they would have gone
out to certain massacre by the hordes Of
Boxers outside Another is that they
declined to leave until the other foreign
ers were removed, something beyond the
capacity or inclination of the Tsung Ii
Yamen to achieve. But. in the absence
of the facts, the government today deter
mined to proceed upon the line already
laid down, namely the ministers in
Pelxin are in need Of help. The Navy
and War departments will continue the
plans set afoot for the despatch to Pekin
of an expedition to bring away the min
listers. A cabinet council today decided
this point and did so with all of the offic-
ial dispatches before them with knowl-
edge Of the contents of the Associated
Press cablegrams from China in their
possession.
Secretary Hay gave his personal atten-
ton to the situation, though still far from
recovered from his attack of illness of
yesterday. He Is still hopeful that there
will be found a satisfactory and honor
able outcome of the present difficulties
Apparently the Chinese minister here,
Mr.. WI, holds to the same belief and
this with his personal knowledge of the
actual sentiments of the Tsung Lii
Yamen.

The Bsnhop,a whist Game.

I dined one evening at a hotel and sat
next to an Episcopal bishop from Eng

use such a disrespectful expression, was
chortling. He was doing it softly and UNI
obtrusively, but he was undeniably tick
led
The night before he had found himself
alone in a Pullman with a prominent
rancher and a Japanese student from an
American university. They had read all
their papers, talked themselves hoarse,
and the rancher suggested game Of
whist. TO get a fourth they enlisted the
services Of the colored porter on the car.

rubber" said his lordship gleefully. "Tho

BICYCLE ICE TRIP.
Dawson to Skagway, Alaska, by
Eicyc O.

Bicyc G.
e. P. Leroy, a newspaper correspond
ent was the first one to make the trip
successfully from Dawson to Skagway
$50 miles, over the ice, on a bicycle. He
was eight days on the way and encoun-
tered one of the heaviest snowstorms
of the season. He comments on the
universal fact that men in the Arctic
climate have scurvy and stomach trou-
BILE because of poorly cooked food.
He says when he first went to Alas
ka he had good stomach, but it final
Nv gave out; and one day in his search
for something that a man without an
appetite could eat he came across some
packages of Grape-Nuts food. He knew
of the food and it's value and was will
inc to pay one-quarter of an ounce of
gold dust ($4OO) for one package.
He says: "I can assure You the salts
faction of getting something I could
eat and digest without suffering was
well worth the price. AS soon as 1t
had proven to be just what ] wanted,
I bought the whole lot, and from that
day to this Grape-Nuts food has con-
stituted my chief article of diet.
IT find that Grape-Nuts is quickly
picked up as soon as new lot comes
to camp There is nothing known that
gives the miner and frontiersman the
strength, with so little volume, as
Grape-Nuts food, and it is always
ready for use, being perfectly cooked,
and can be eaten dry or with little
cream, milk, or water hot or cold. just
as a man likes. l could not have taken
any food that would have carried me
through my long journey on the ice so
well as Grape-Nuts."

IRON REVIEW
Overproduction the Key to the
 Situation

Cleveland, O., September 1S-The Iron Trade Review says:
 ."The fact that consumption Is still con- siderably less than production is the key to the situation in iron and steel. The resump- ton of the tin plate mills will help to re- duce the accumulation of Bessemer iron, and if pudding furnaces should be started this month, the situation as to forge iron would be improved.
 ."rhe blowing out of furnaces has not gone to its full length yet, it is believed, and the statistics for October are expect ed to show a further reduction in active capacity and a closer relation between SUD- ply and demand.
 'The failure of the Detroit conference to agree on the pudding and finishing scales for western rolling mills means a longer shutdown of the mills than had been counted on, but the fact that the Amal- gamated Association has arranged for re- sumption at Bay View and Detroit on spec dicates an anxiety to get to work that may producers at an early day.
 "The indications are that merchant fur naces now idle in the Mahoning and She- mango valleys will remain out as long as present prices continue, and a number of them may wait until after the election be- fore resuming."

AN INDUSTRIOUS NAME AND 4 BROOM General Robert E. Lee a Private
 in the Association of
 Street SWeepers.

General Robert B. Lee,' the small ne- gro boy, whose conduct of late has cast a slur upon his historic name, is now an Sweepers, who operate under the direction of one MT. Coleman. The redoubtable youth, whose claim to recognition as one of the F. F. V.'s is now in question, has taken considerable interest in the workings of the police department, especially as to the position he has been assigned at the small end of a street broom, and already he cherishes fond hopes of some day parad- ing the streets of the city of his nativity as bluecoated, brass-buttoned patrolman.
 Though apparently half-witted, this youth, whose name would imply long line of heroic ancestry, has thoroughly con- vinced those to whom he looks for orders that he is by no means a boy of inferior mental achievements. When he first ap- peared before Judge Feagin he gently sug- gested to his honor that if Officer Patton would stay off his beat he would in simi- lar manner respect the policeman, and he thought this would be an amicable settle ment of the entire proceedings. The judge, however, to the generals surprise, thought otherwise, and gave him a not very lucra- tive position under the guidance of MT Coleman.
 Yesterday afternoon General Lee was seated on the top of the city jail with his trousers rolled high, calmly observing the inactivity of the officers seated around the place. With an air of great importance he calmly remarked:
 "Cap'n, just give me a club and coat an I'll go to work on a beat"
 The officer, turning to the illustrious- named youth, said: "'General, what would you do if you were a policeman?"
 Easy enough,'' chirped the impudent boy; T would jes button my coat up tight, swing my club around my fingers an prance up to dago stand, grab me handful of peanuts an then come back an take seat an put on one of them wise looks"
 The General was promptly ushered to safer and more secluded quarters where he remains a prisoner of war, and can only see policemen through a window which produces checker board effects.
