STEEL MAST DOUBLES
(Continued from First Page.)

 she felt the wind considerably stronger and suddenly the lashings on the club topsail gave way and the big sail began to slap and swing around the topmast. The yacht was sent into the wind while three seamen went aloft to clear away the wreckage and send down the spars. This took some time, so that it was about 1850 o'clock when the yacht was again hauled onto the wind and head ed to the southeast on the starboard tack. The yacht was this time about two miles due south of Brenton's reef lightship, going along at tremendous pace under three lower sails, well heel ed over in the breeze. The wind was
 probably the stiffest that the Constitu-
 ton had ever encountered.
 Suddenly, just before o'clock, with
 out the slightest warning, the star
 board lower spreader, over the end of which run two of the mast head
 shrouds, made of inch steel wire rope, collapsed or broke off on the mast,
 This brought the strain on the three remaining steel shrouds, which
 promptly gave way and almost at the
 same instant the big steel mast began to fall over the post. It went over so gra dually that those on deck saw 1t coming in time to get to WlndWard with the exception of Second Mate Nell son. who was caught in some rigging | and went overheard under the big | mainsail. Fortunately some of the | crew saw his predicament and by quick work he was hauled aboard. The mast collapsed or bent about two-fifths of | tho way above the deck or a few feet | below the lower spreaders which broke. | As it went over the topmast shrouds | broke that wooden spar into two pieces. | One short off at it's foot where 1t enters
 inc tOp of the mast and again well up
 tbe pole toward the top. Part of the 1 tonn7ast was saved, but some ten feet of it went drifting out to sea. As the
 mast came down, shorn of it's topmast,
 if was seen that it would not strike the declx and as the boom sagged on to the
 port rail, quite gently, the hull was not
 injured in the slightest degree. Both head sails. of course, were swept into the water, but the bowsprit remained intact. Both the upper spreaders were
 broken short off when the mast went
 down, but the topmast shrouds, which
 lead over them held well, and in doing ! so smashed he big wooden pole which
 they were intended to hold in place, 1 Some of the shrouds, when the upper 1 part of the mast was fairly down l were carried over the stump and re- 1 mained there when the yacht was taken into the harbor.

cussed this matter to md II there was combination against these men, ana if so to break it up.
 Captain Brewer testified that the day before the meeting he called Commls- sioner Avery up on the phone, and he asked: What is the matter, Cappy l told him rumors were around that was going to be retired. He said: Don't you worry, Cappy; I'll take care ! Of you, Cappy.
 1 As Captain Brewer resumed ms seat Judge Studley asked quietly; Brewer | you are troubled with deafness! ll- stantly the captain was on his feet ana replied: No; l am little in this ear pointing to the left ear, but the other | is all right. I am at noisy statloh down there, with engines hooting ana hollering all day, and l suppose there | is where they discovered my deafness.
 Judge Studley's test was cleverly de- vised and executed, but did not eaten the captain mapping. The distance be- tween the two chairs, the mayors and Captain Brewers was the entire length of the room.
 Superintendent James Wrinn testl- fled: "I have been four years chief and am in my thirty-fifth year as one Of the department. I have known Cap l tain O'Keefe for twenty-five years in the department, and Captain Brewer and myself joined the force together thirty-five years ago. l can't recall how long l know Sergeant Bergin. My duties as chief require me to have su- pervision of the entire department. 1 i I,,+,r f,, 1y,,n bn l. ton of the men under me. 1 have no reason to believe that Captains O'keefe and Brewer or Sergeant Bergin are un- fit to perform police duty. l had never been consulted by any commissioners regarding the retirement of either or these officials in any manner Whatso- ever.'
 Mayor Studley-"Do you mean to say that you were never consulted as to the advisa bility of such a step?"
 Chief Wrinn-"Never."
 Mayor Studley Do you regard it singular you were not consulted?'
 Chief Wrinn-"I do I could not un- derstand why it was done. The rules are that men cannot be, discharged without charges being made against them It is my duty to present any such charges if there are any. I never heard of any such against these men.
 Commissioner Corey, Clerk South worth, of the police board and others gave unimportant incidental testimony Sergeant Patrick Bergin testified: "l have since March, 1891, been pollce sergeant. I have been laid up few days with malaria. My mental ane physical health is good. I never have been told by any member of the po lice department that I had any Hines physically or mentally that would de bar me from performing police duty I heard of my removal by storemar who called at my door the morning at ter the police board met. Later l re ceived a notification from Clerk South worth of it.
 - "The three of us, Brewer, O'keeff and myself, secured Drs. Bacon, Rus sell and Whittemore to examine us. W. were also examined by the board of DO lice surgeons, as stated
 At the conclusion of Sergeant Der gins testimony the mayor at l2:3 o'clock, declared the hearing closed.

HUNTING WITH THE CAMERA.


 Best Way to Take Wild Birds and
 Animals.
 Amateur photography has become one of the finest of recreations, yet a great deal of energy and money is wasted in snapshots without special thought To realize that pictures can be made that have a real value, to know what is valuable and to try for it, makes the result thousand times more fascinating, The photographing of wild birds CT animals from life is open to any one who has an ordinary focusing camera with fairly long bel lows. Successful pictures of this kind are in great demand for publication. The securing of them has great fas- cination, and is a splendid means toward acquiring health and knowl- edge of nature.
 The camera should not be smaller than four by five inches, and should be focused on some spot to which the sub- iect is likely to come. The exposure should be made at a distance, from some place of hiding. One way is to attach a spool of linen thread to the lever, which may be pulled at the de- sired time Better still is a long rub ber tube connecting with a pneumatic release and operated by large bulb that gives a considerable air pressure.
 Perhaps the best way to describe the process in a short article is to tell how I made a successful photograph ot a common and comparatively easy sub- feet Last summer, early ln June, while walking through a pasture, l flushed a night-haWk from her two eggs laid on the ground beside a rock. I brought a flat stone from a wall near by and placed it about two yards rom the nest Attaching the long tube and setting the camera. firmly on the stone I focused on the eggs and set the smut 1 ter at a fifth of a second, as the sun was slightly overcast. Then l covered up everything but the lens with weeds 1 and grass, and withdrew, carrying the i bulb with me to the length of the 50- foot tube. As it would not reach tc the wall, left it and hid myself tc watch.
 The mother bird had waited patient ly on a rock some rods away. She soon 1 started and flew toward the nest, but the sight of the pile of weeds frighten. ed her, and she went back to her fock

According to the story which the girls
tell the police they started home from

Main street and after making some pur-
chases walked into the street again. AS
they left the store the girls assert that

FIRE ON POSSE.
Strike situation mt A1atewan Assum-
ing n serioua phnse

Huntington, w. Va, June 25.--A posse
of deputy United States marshals led by
"A. c. Hufford of Bluefield, were fired
on yesterday by the strikers and forced
to flee from the coal fields at Matewan
The marshals, under the leadership of
A. c. Hufford, set out from Bluefield
yesterday to reach the scene of the min
ers' riots. When they arrived within
twenty miles of Thacker they found
that they could proceed no further by
rail on account of the flood. They struck
out across the mountains, encountering
almost unsurmountable difficulties, and
late in the afternoon reached the end of
their destination.
They began serving notices of the in
junction which had been issued by
Judge Jackson. A mob of strikers fol-
lowed armed to teeth with firearms. On
all sides could be heard the cry, Down
with the government by Injunction
Men threatened the deputies with
their weapons, women called down the
vengeance OF heaven upon them and
children hurled stones al them.
When night came notice had been
served on the strikers of all this coal
companies but one and that was to be
served at the Lick Fork Coal and Coke
Company's mines at Thacker. Fearing
an ambush. the deputies waited until
moring. and early today set out for
Thacker. Some time before noon they
attempted to serve the injunction pa
pers al the colliery there.
A mob followed. enraged to despera-
tion at the sweeping character Of the
injunction. One reckless fellow fired
the first shot and quick as lightning
the mountains rechoed with reports that
followed the discharge of twenty or
thirty rifles. The deputies We're forced
to take refuge in flight, and then barely
escaped with their lives.
The strike situation Is assuming Sc
rious stage. Sheriff Hatfield has with
drawn all his deputies because, it is
said. he does not believe In the policy
being used to put down the strike. The
United States marshals have been left
alone, and after being chased from the
fields today 1t is believed that they will
be strongly reinforced and ready to
fight when they again appear to en-
force the injunction.

LESSONS OF BoER WAR.
Russian Expert. Say That Modcr,
Mancuvers are IJaeiea.


London. June 25.-An interesting pa-
per written by Jean de Bloch (the Rus
sian councillor of state and member of
the Russian ministry of fnance) on the
lessons of the Transvaal war was read
at the united service Institution yester-
day. NJ. de Bloch declared the South
African war had proved that military
service as practiced today was absurd
and that the sacrifice made on the con-
tinent to support CONSUMPTION was un-
necessary.
The war showed that the theatrical
spectacles called maneuvers We're in no
way related to real warfare. One Of the
most remarkable features was the con-
stant .mpossibility of determining the
enemy's position. This was not attri-
outable to British defective reconnois-
sance. but to the new conditions of war.
II was not mistakes made by the Brit
ish nor the qualities of the Beers who
had shown an entire lack of rational
strategy and tactics which produced
the results seen. but smokeiess powder
and long-range. quick firing rifles, which
involved dispersion and invisibility to a
degree unheard Of formerly, and to the
possibility of providing the riflemen
with larger number of cartridges. The
action of artillery in South Africa had
been, generally, absolutely contempti-
BILE against an untrenched enemy.
The main lesson. continued Councillor
de Bloch. was that successful OUT
come of war of aggression could not
be hoped for against any power. still
less again allied powers. No results
could be obtained in great European
war. Consequently it had become lm>
possible to wage war decisively.
