British Steamer Isle of Kent Runs
Into Spanish Steamer Amestl
and Latter Goes to the Bottom
at Once
FORMER VESSEL is
BADLY DAMAGED
Crew Of the Spanish Steamer
Took to Life Boats and Were
Picked Up by the Isle Of Kent
Which Win Have to Be Dry
locked for Repairs

Boston. Dec 17.-The British steam
ship Isle of Kent of Newcastle from
Savannah for Bremen put in here to-
day with her bow crushed in and her
stem battered. She brought the en-
tire crew of the Spanish steamer Ames-
ii bound from Bilbao, Spain for Phila-
delphia, the latter vessel having sunk
in half an hour after a collision with
the Isle Of Kent on Saturday last
when about 1898 miles east OF Cape Cod.
The collision occurred at about $3.50
o'clock in the morning, when the ves-
sells were in latitude 2S.2O; longitudeA
"a. 40 west Each Of the lookouts sight
ed the other vessel too late to prevent
the accident though the chief officer of
the Isle of Kent states that If the
Amesti had held her course she would
have passed by safely.
The Isle Of Kent struck the Amestl
amidshlp on the starboard side cutting
half way through her so that she be-
gan to fill Immediately. Within %
minutes she sank. None save the chief
officer and the deck watch of the Ames-
ii had time to save anything. The men
jumped into a life boat and rowed
away Boats from the Isle of Kent
met them and they were taken aboard
that vessel
The Isle of Kent was loaded with
cotton from Savannah For Bremen.
The Amesti sailed from Bilbao Nov. "a
at p. m. with a cargo Of iron ore
for Philadelphia
In the collision the bow plates Of the
Isle of Kent, from the hawser pipes
down below the water line, were
crushed in and broken and her bow
was twisted completely out Of shape.
She is a 1961-ton vessel, built in 1895.
by Rohner & Son, at Stockton, and is
owned by Dickson Robson e. Co. OF
New. Castle.
The damage is 50 serious that she
will have to discharge at least part Of
her cargo here and drydock for ex-
animation and repairs
The Amesu was formerly the Raggoe.
She was built by Furness. Witty e.
Co.. in 1894, and was owned in Bilbao,
from which port she hailed. She was
2845 tons gross burthen; length, 314
feet; beam, 4O.5 feet, and depth Of
hold. q 3 feet. She was considered a
fine vessel Of her class. Capt. Bollar
her commander was unable to give
the valuation Of the vessel or cargo,
but stated that both were fully COW
cred by insurance.

Dartmouth Beaten in the Open
ing Basketball Game of the
New England Intercollegiate
Association
HOLY CROSS MEN HAD
EVERY ADVANTAGE
Students from Hanover Were Shy
on Points of Team Play and
Were 0utpIayed on Offensive
and Defensive - Conner the
Star of the Game

Holy Cross opened the New England
intercollegiate basketball season last
night in the college gymnasium by de-
feating Dartmouth by a score Of 20 to
49, The game was the 'speadiest and
prettiest ever seen on the college floor.
From the blow of the referees whistle
until the end of the game there was
no letup and the timers were not
troubled by making out time.
Holy Cross had the advantage of the
visitors both on the defensive and Of
fensive on account of superb team
work. On throwing baskets Holy
Cross was weak and on this account
several opportunities Of scoring were
missed.
Conner was easily the star OF the
game. His work was the best ever
put up by any man on the Holy Cross
floor. At throwing baskets his eye was
all there and he blocked his man out
of the plays with little difficulty. Capt.
Quigley was right in the game but on
throwing baskets he was far below his
usual standard.
Dartmouth showed the lack of train
ing and its team work was ragged.
Capt Abbott was the star of the team
and gave Holy Cross all the trouble
that was coming both on offensive and
on defensive play.
The game was entirely free from
scrapping and no roughness was
shown. Both sides were frequently
penalized for carrying the ball out Of
bounds.
The game opened up decidedly in
Holy Cross favor Conner had the
advantage on the start and sent the
ball sailing into Holy Cross territory,
the ball rolled out into the open in a
Al, q
and threw a very difficult goal. After
this the goals alternated and the first
half ended with Holy Cross one ahead
in goals from the field and even up on
free throws
Two changes were made in the Holy
Cross lineup in the second half. Shields
replaced Landers at right forward and
Sheehan took Beaudreau's place at
right back.
The work of the Holy Cross team in
the second half was even better than
in the first. Dartmouth took a brace
in this half and one time tied the score
but could not stand the pace set by the
Holy Cross boys. The score;

Think the Nation Should Settle
Bill RightfuIIy Due Them for At
tending President Mckinley Al
ter He Was Shot
DISLIKE TO CALL UPON
MRS. M'KlNLEY TO PAY
Medical Profession All Over the
World Is Waiting to See How
the Affair Will Turn 0ut-PIain
Statement Of Facts by Doctor
Mann of Buffalo

Buffalo, N Y, Dec. lin view of
the wide discussion incident as to who
should pay the persons who attended
President Mckinley, DR.. Matthew d.
Mann consented to make a statement
today, setting forth the attitude of
himself and his associates.
DR.. Mann, in reply to questions by a
newspaper reporter said
I'VE feel that when we operated on
the President of the United States we
operated for the American people with
a view to saving their President for
them, that we were called not by the
family of President Mckinley but by
the authorities, the cabinet and others,
to take charge of the President, and we
feel, therefore, that we have a right to
look to Congress and the nation for our
remuneration.
I'VE took a tremendous responsible
ty, because we took in our hands the
life of the most prominent man in the
world, and we feel that in taking such
a responsibility we ran an immense
risk. Had the autopsy showed that we
made any serious mistakes we would
have received condemnation. We might
even have been ruined From all these
facts we feel we should not be called
upon to render bills to the family. Any
bill which we might render to the late
Presidents estate would be larger than
Mrs. Mckinley ought to be called
upon to pay.
IF we should render such a bill as
she could properly pay, we should feel
that we would be very imperfectly re
munerated. We feel, therefore, that
Congress should take up the matter,
and make an appropriation, such as it
may see fit, and save us from becoming
the objects of criticism by sending in
bill For no matter what bill we might
send in we would receive a certain
amount of abuse.
1--WE feel also that the dignity of the
medical profession demands that Con-
gress should pay this bill, and that the
services should be handsomely reward
ed. The medical profession all over the
world is waiting with great interest to
see how this affair will turn out, and
we do not propose to do anything il
we can avoid it, which will lay us open
to criticism

HOME COMING
OF The ENJOYS
Messrs. Redmond, MCHugh and
0'DonneII Met at Queenstown
by a Delegation From the Unit
ed Irish League

Queenstown, Dec. 1.-THE steamer
Oceanic, from New York, Dec. II, hav-
ing on board Messrs. Redmond, Nc
Hugh end O'Donnell, the Irish members
of parliament, who have been visiting
the United States in the interests Of
the United Irish League arrived here
this afternoon. A delegation from the
United Irish League went out on the
company's tender to meet Mr.. Red
mond and his companions. They were
accorded a most enthusiastic reception
when they landed.
Cork, Dec. 17.-When Mr.. Redmond
arrived here he was escorted to his
hotel by an enthusiastic and demon
strative crowd burning tar barrels
carrying tourches and accompanied by
bands Of music.
Mr.. Redmond addressed the assem-
bly,. He said that before another six
months the Irish League would be as
powerful in the United States as was
the American Land League in the time
Of Parnell. for he had succeeded in his
mission to the United States, which
had for its objects the arousing of the
sympathy of the Americans and secur-
ing the cooperation Of Irish-Ameri-
cans.
Irishmen in the United States, said
Mr.. Redmond, had spontaneously mi
tiated the movement, and he believed
it would now produce as generous
financial aid for Ireland as it had
ever done before.
The speaker said he was glad to
hear that Mr.. Wyndham, the chief
secretary for Ireland. had resorted to
the coercion Of that country, and that
he hoped he would continue to extend
it. If there was one thing they want
ed in Ireland, said Mr.. Redmond, it
was the salt of coercion, as this would
not hurt Ireland but would irretriev-
ably damage the government.
In the course of his speech Mr. Red
mond described how all classes in the
United States, from President Roose-
welt dCwnwards, had extended their
hospitality. their good will and their
sympathy to his mission and the Irish
cause. He said he regarded these evil
dences of good viii as Of enormous
value to Ireland. With the enlightened
public opinion Of that great and free
nation at her side, explained the
speaker, Ireland possessed a power far
more potent for the future than ali the
armies and uavies at the disposal of
Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Redmond said that he and his
companions had also received the same
assurance OF sympathy from Canada,
Sir Wilfrid Lourier the Canadian
premier, being among the first to well
come them.

SONNET. By H. w. Longfellow. It is the harvest moonl On gilded vanes And roofs of villages, on woodland crest And their aerial neighbors of nest Deserted, on the curtain window panes, Of rooms where children sleep, on coun- try lanes And harvest fields, its mystic spiendor rests. Gone are the birds that were our sum- mer guests: With the last sheaves return the labor ing wains! All things are symbols; the external shows Of nature have their image in the mind, As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves; The song birds leave us at the summers close, Only the empty nests are left behind, And pipings of the quail among the sheaves.
