thick fog enveloped her.
The brig was tossed about until about
$3.50 Thursday morning when the watch
reported breakers on the lee quarter"
The ship was then ordered about as the
only way to escape disaster.
The orders were obeyed and gradually
the danger decreased until at last the
little brig was headed out To sea. To
add to the danger the mainsail was car
ried away when II was most needed. but
the other sails were strong enough to
carry the vessel to safety.
The captain in speaking - the "trip
said IL was an extremely narrow es-
cape and that he thought they must

ried away.

EAST PROVIDENCE.

1t is reported that there was quite a
disturbance along the water front last
evening and that the captain Of small
sailing vessel narrowly escaped rough
usage.

road with four sailors he had secured at

them TO his vessel. He was stopped by
number of East India men. one Of
them taking the horse by the head.
while the others succeeded I'm getting
the four men to leave the captain and
all walked over the railroad br dge to
the city. There was a heated argument
between the men and the captain. but
the latter deemed IL wise not to carry
the matter too far
II Is claimed that the captain would
not pay the port price for sailors. that
being $50 per month. but went to New
Bedford where he secured a crew at
much less price. He did not succeed.

vessel.

Butler Could Endear Himself 10 People by
Requesting Recall.
HE IS NOT LIKELY TO DO so, HOWEVER
Relations Between Lord Robsrls and Gsn. Kich-
sner Said 10 Be Strained DID The British
Cabinet Catch Tarlap

Copyright, 1900 by Associated Press.)
London, April 21.--This has been a
sad week for the British generals. The
brewing storm that last week was
overhanging their heads received its
electric spark through the publication
OF Lord Roberts censures regarding
the engagement at Spion Kop. 1t de-
scended in a merc.less torrent from an
unanimous press. At the present mo-
merit Gen. Butler could find no better
way to endear himself to the hearts OF
the people than TO request his recall,
but those who know him intimately
tell the representative of the Associ-
ated Press that he is far too thick
skinned to take such a step and will
stick TO his post despite all criticisms
and avalanches of adverse public opin-
ion.
Nor Is Lord Kitchener spared in the
present outbreak. There is a story GO
ing the rcuLd OF the clubs that the
Great man of the Soudan' has been
severely sat upon by the Little man
OF the Afghanistan." and specific in
stances of disagreements between them
are quoted Once. SO gossip says. with
mysterious references to private let
ters and such rpner sources OF informa-
tion Lord Roberts felt constrained TO
put Lord Kitchener in his place.
II wish you TO understand" Kanda-
har is reported TO have said to Knar-
toum. If You please, that / command
this army. You are my chief Of staff.
/ don't seek your advice and / shall
decide myself on what is to be done,
and shall issue my orders accordingly
No documentary evidence has been
obtained to prove the truth of this. and
Ii may be pure invention, but it has
already been printed i'm London and
originated in much the same way as
the first stories arose regarding the
fiascoes of Generals Gatacre, Butler
and Methuen. which were only too fully
borne out by later official and detailed
accounts.
With regard to Lord Kitchener there
Is another story cuSrent. which insists
that after the Colenso disaster the
queen demanded that Buner be super
ceded by the conqueror of the Khalifa.
and that the cabinet protested. but
compromised by sending Lord Rob-
erts as figurehead This is consid-
cred rather improbable, but, if true.
the cabinet has caught a tartar In the
shape of Lord Roberts
Ii is marvellous to note the whole
heartedness of the English public trust
i'm this old general. Whatever the out
come OF the Boer war, Lord Roberts
name would stand in England's mill
tary annals as one of the most sue
cessful and best-loved of her COM
manders. This fact is ever before the
public. and they believe their COM
mander-in-c chief in South Africa to be
miles above any jealousies or rivalries
that might actuate other generals.

MEDICAL LAW.
Strong Arguments Against the Pro.
posed Amendments.
Or. Gardner 7. Swaris and Lawyer Lee
Spoke In Favor Of tho Measure.

The judiciary committee of the House
of Representatives gave a public hear
ing yesterday afternoon, on the act
known as the medical BILL" which
amends the present act on the practice
of medicine, forbidding any physician
OF any other state from practicing in
this state, and prescribing the limita-
tions under which licenses may be is
sued by the state board of health.
Strong arguments against the pass
age OF the act were made by Judge
Isaac II. Southwick. Col. Henry j..
Spooner, Attorney John NJ. Brennan
and Col. Henry S. Taft, while DR..
Swarts, secretary of the state board of
health, and Judge Lee of Woonsocket,
spoke in it's favor.
Judge Southwick said that he opposed
the act believing its provisions of re-
striction too stringent and uncalled for
So far as the criminal law is concerned,
he advocated the right of anyone to
write NJ. ID. after his or her name or
to hold themselves out as physicians.
He said the remedy for this should be
a civil action. He was opposed to
everything that converted into crime
something which should have u remedy
in civil action.
Col. Spooner stated that in his opin-
ion the present medical act was entirely
sufficient, and he believed no more leg
islation on IL Is needed. He thought a.
certificate from regular med cal
school should be sufficient to qualify
anyone to practice in this state. He said
attempts were made at nearly every
session of the assembly to change the
medical law. He believed everyone
should be entitled to choose his own ply
sician, and be treated as he himself
elects. Medical practice is not an ex-
act science, as the best physicians ad-
init. He saw nothing in the bill tn;
would prohibit the practice OF Christ
ian Science" so-calle6. He said that
whether or not we believe i'm certain
med cal practices. we should not inter-
fere with those who desire to take such
treatment.
Judge Lee spoke i'm favor OF the bill,
and he cited cases which. he claimed.
showed the inferior character OF the
persons who opposed the state board of
health In this and other medical bills.
and said he believed the bill to be a
just and proper one.
DIR. Swarts said that the bill was not
introduced with n desire TO keep other
practlt oners out, but rather to raise
the standard Of this state to that of
other states. The standard Of the state
being now lower than that OF other
states. reciprocity with other states is
impossible. The board desires by the
proposed law To establish such n stand
ard tS~t there will be no border be-
tween the states.

RAIL EXTENSION.
Hearing Given on the Petition Of the
Union Railroad Co.


The committee on railroads OF the
city council gave hearing yesterday
afternoon. on the petition of the Union
Railroad company TO lay rails in Black
stone boulevard. Eddy street, Elm
street and Broad street. There was
some opposition to the granting of per-
mission TO lay rails in Eddy street, but
1t was Blackstone boulevard that inter-
ested m6st OF those who attended the
hearing.
A number of the abutting owners are
anxious to have rails for the accommo-
dation of the people in that section, but
they do not want them laid in the high
ways. They asked the committee to
recommend that the parkway, upon
which the city within the past two
or three years has expended something
like $4,000 be given up for that pur-
pose, and that the rails be put right
through the centre OF that strip of land
dedicated TO park purposes.
Augustine Jones said that he had
urged the passage of bill making an
appropriation for fixing up the park
way, and at that time IL was quite we'll
understood that the rails OF the rail-
road company would not be run
through the park. II that was allowed
now, that park would be diverted from
the purpose for which II was originally
laid out and fixed up.
John l.. Remlinger opposed laying OF
rails on Broad strait. and he presented
a petition signed by a number OF people
in the vicinity of Thurber's avenue,
asking the committee not TO recommend
the granting OF the petition.
After listening to the statements of
those interested the committee decided
to leave the matter of laying rails in
the boulevard on the table for the pres
ant
