SILK INDUSTRY IN THIS COUN.
TRY.

1t was the current belief only a few
years ago that the silk industry could
never be a success in the United States.
1t was thought that in this line Of trade
we could never hope to compete with
France and other European countries
Climate conditions and other natural
causes were supposed to be against the
development of the silk business here.
But facts and figures now tell a differ
ent story. Even the French trade pa-
pers, according to one of our consuls
in France, concede that the United
States is likely to take the lead among
the silk producers of the world. Dur
ing the last three years the consume
ton of raw silk in the United States
has exceeded that of France. One trade
paper says the producing power of the
United States has equaled that of
France since 1897. And American
manufacture has power of expansion
that does not possesss,'' it adds. These
statements, taken together with the
fact that the use of silk goods and silk
combinations srapidly increasing ey
erywhere, indicate that the silk indus
try has a highly promising future in
America.-From Leslie's Weekly.

MOTHER EAST RUN,
independence Covers Seventy Miles In
Exactly Eight Hours.

Exactly EtEnt trpurs.
New London, June 30.-That the Law
son ninety footer Independence is pos
sessed of great capabilities in going to
windward was shown to-day in her run
from Vineyard Haven to New London,
distance of seventy-five miles, which
she covered in exactly eight hours. The
first twenty miles was dead beat down
Vineyard Sound to Gay Head. but the
balance, fifty-five miles, was made in
two long bitches and short one of sew
en- miles, the yacht sailing nearly the
entire distance under three lower sails
and working topsail, The sea was COM
paratively smooth, except from Gay
Head to Point Judith but the yacht
met the heavy rollers between these two
points very easily, showing but little
tendency to pound and thrash-in fact,
holding high and footing fast all day
The wind averaged about ten knots,
getting up to twelve or fourteen at
times while there were somewhat
calmer periods. The Lawson yacht
made a long board into Narragansett
Pier, passing within a few miles of
Newport, where the Constitution and
Columbia lay quietly a anchor ready
for their own little duel tomorrow as
preparatory to the great struggle with
the Boston yacht later in the week
The next tack was held for seven
miles, when the yacht at exactly four
O'Clock, was once more thrown around
on the port tack, half way between
Point Judith and Block Island. The
wind canted a trifle from the south, so
that a nice course could be laid for
Race Rock light to the westward. This
run of twenty-four miles was the best
of the day, the yacht making it in two
hours and eighteen minutes, speed of
nearly eleven knots an hour
She rounded Race Rock light at 6:1S,
and half an hour after passed in by
New London light, having made the
distance of seventy-five miles from
Vineyard Haven against an almost
head wind in just exactly eight hours.
The Independence dropped anchor off
the Pequot house and tomorrow will
be hauled out for cleaning. During the
run over some water worked through a
few of the seams Of the yacht, due, Mr..
Crowinsheld said, to imperfect caulk-
ing. This will be attended to when the
yacht is on the ways. Those on board
were delighted with the performance,
and were enthusiastic over the great
speed shown by the Independence in
windward work. 1t is expected that the
Lawson yacht will join the big feet at
on the national holiday.

FXCURSIONISTS TERRIFIED
By Sinking of Steamer Mohawk at
Glen Island-No Lives Lost,


South Norwalk, Conn, June 30.-Sev-
en- hundred employees of the John w.
Greene hat factory of Danbury, after
spending Saturday at Glen Island,
boarded the steamer Mohawk for the
return trip at about o'clock The
steamer had been under way about ten
minutes when the excursionists were
startled by a tremendous crash. 1t
was thought at first that the boilers
had blown up. John w, Greene, how
ever shouted to the passengers that the
ship had struck rock and was in
danger of sinking at any moment. A
panic then followed. during which ev-
cry one of the 700 passengers on board
scrambled for the life preservers. Mrs.
Richard Volt of South Norwalk, who
was passenger on the steamer, makes
| the statement that men fought the wo-
men who had life presarvers and
buckled them about their own bodies
In the terrible crush which followed
the announcement that the steamer was
sinking women and children were
knocked down and trampled upon. One
child had an arm broken, and another
was picked up seriously injured about
the body.
During this excitement the steamer
had been steadily sinking, and ten min
utes after the crash the first deck was
submerged. Three launches, which
We're nearby when the accident occur
red quickly reached the disabled
steamer. They Immediately went to
the rescue of the passengers who jump
ed overheard. They were quickly taxi
en- aboard none the worse for their ex-
perience with the exception of Mrs.
Joseph Searle who, it seems, had been
in the water much longer than the 9TH
ers. She was picked up in state of ex-
haustion and carried back to Glen Is
land in critical condition, The water
was just beginning to wash over the
second deck when the excursion steam
ed Myndert Starin arrived from the is
land and took on board the remaining
passengers.
The accident was caused by the pilot
of the steamer going on the wrong side
of the buoy which marks the course to
be followed by steamers to and from
the island.

A WHISKEY BARREL EXPLODED
And Premature Fourth Celebrator
Was Injured.

| FRANK McDermott, ten-year-old boy
who lives at No. 1855 Cedar street, While
engaged in premature Fourth of July
celebration at the corner of West Wa
ter and Carlisle streets last evening met
with an accident which will probably
ineapacitate him from further celebra-
ton for some time.
The boy was playing with revolver
in the rear of Blake's saloon at the COR
ner of West Water and Carlisle streets,
and was shooting blank cartridges. In
! the yard were some empty whiskey
barrels, and, stepping up to one of
these, young McDermott inserted the
muzzle of his revolver in the bung hole
of the barrel and pulled the trigger.
Instantly there was a loud explosion,
much louder than the cartridge alone
would make, and the barrel flew to
pieces, slaves and hoops flying In all
directions. The boy was hurled back
ward several feet and he fell to the
ground.
Persons near by, hearing the explo-
sion, hurried into the yard and picked
up the boy. He was bleeding from Sc
we're cuts in the face, neck and arms,
tend him. He was removed to his home
and the physician found that while he
was considerably cut and bruised, his
injuries We're not of a. serious nature,
although they are such as to lay him
up for several days.
1t is thought that the revolver fire
ignited the fumes from what whiskey
was in the barrel, and that this caused
the explosion. The barrel was blown to
pieces and one of the slaves went hurl
ing through the air and struck a blind
on Mr.. Blake's house near by, tearing
the blind from its hinges
At the time the explosion occurred
young man and a young woman We're
walking down West Water street near

RICES BEGIN TO-DAY.
Constitution md Column bia to Try Con-
illusions Off Newport.

Newport, r. l., June 3o,-The yacht
ing season for the big ninety-footers,
and also the first of the tuningup races
of the intended cup defender Constitu-
ton, begins tomorrow with thirty
mile race between the new Herreshoff
production and the champion of '99. the
Columbia. The two yachts are laying
ct anchor tonight within half mile
of each other, and at II o'clock to-mor-
row will be sent off for fifteen-mile
race to windward or leeward and re-
turn. A large fleet of both steam and
sailing yachts are clustered about the
two white racers and will go out for
the sport tomorrow morning That
the race will be an interesting one is
acknowledged on every side, for while
Mr.. Herreshoff has undoubtedly made
many improvements in the Constltu-
ton. the great speed and all-round abil-
ity of the Columbia make her still a
great favorite among many who saw
her work off this coast two years ago
and her superiority over the Shamrock
in the cup races.

contest lHleltSlills lo VIC SicoI iiHoii5
between Captain Rhodes, of the Consti-
tuition, and Captain Barr, of the Column
bia. Two years ago the conditions as
to boats were reversed, for Captain
Rarr had the new boat, while Captain
Rhodes sailed the '95 cup racer, the De-
fender. AS usual, the start will be
made at Brenton's Reef lightship, just
two miles off Bateman's Point, and can
easily be seen by those on shore. 1t Is

was becoming a mental wreck. he
turned to us for pity and sympathy,
but we had little to give. He had been
brutal in his vengeance.
The surgeon looked upon the case
Rt first as some disorder Of the brain,
but later on acknowledged that it was
something beyond his medicine. No
one else could see the specter. The
colonel would say that it sat beside
him or stood in the door, but.there was
nothing for other eyes to rest upon.
He would draw his sword and cut and
slash and thrust at the specter, but he
could not harm it. By the surgeons
advice the colonel returned to Goruck-
poor. 1t was reported as a case Of
breaking down over mental anxiety,
but hundreds of people came to know
better. The specter followed him back,
followed him to the house of friend,
sat with him through every night and
logged at his heels through every hour,
of the day. He could no more shake
it off than he could change the color
Of his eyes. He made the gamest sort
of fight, knowing that his future career
was at stake, and at length all men
came to pity him pity him and avoid
him as one accursed. He was medically
treated. given brief furloughs and
every effort made to build him up, but
at the end of eight months, every day
and every night Of which had been a
terror to him., he ended by blowing
out his brains.
Was it case of a man haunted by
a spirit seeking revenge? 1t was not
so reported officially. but from first to
last and from the highest to the lowest,
and this includes two surgeons. it was
fully and firmly believed that it was,

When Edward VII as Prince Of Wales
visited America in 1850. Canada went
wild over him, and In Detroit and
Chicago the crowds were SO dense
that the party could scarcely reach
their hotel. So many were the recep-
lions, dinners and other social func-
lions in which the prince participated
that he finally broke down through
sheer fatigue and overexcitement. The
Duke Of Newcastle, who was the
princes companion, decided, therefore,
to stop off on their way to st. Louis at
Dwight Station, a quiet village famous
for its shooting. The prince brought
down a bag of II brace Of quail and
four rabbits. But the pleasure of the
day was married by the following Incl
dent:
AS the royal party approached a
farmhouse an Enthusiastically British
settler appeared at the door and invited
every one except the Duke Of Newcas
tie to enter.
'sNot you. Newcast.e." he shouted. 81

sworn. that you shall never set a foot

Accordingly the party passed on, and

landlord, had to forego the honor Of en-
tertaining royalty under his roof.
