TORPEDO BOAT COBRA WRECKED
Only Twelve of h Seventy-Nine
Men Aboard Survive

London. September 19.-The torpedo
boat destroyer the Cobra has founder
ed in the North sea, the result of an
the yard of her builders, the Arm
strongs, of New Castle, to Portsmouth
and carried forty-two naval men and
thirty-five men in the employ of the
contractors. Twelve men were saved
and it is believed they are the only
survivors. Five boats were launched
after h Cobra struck, but some of
them were swanped in the heavy sea
which was running at the time.
The first intimation of the disaster
was the arrival of a fishing boat at
Yarmouth, with six bodies which she
had picked up in the vicinity Of the
spot where the Cobra was last seen.
was sighted by the lightship Dowsing-
sands yesterday morning, enVeloped in
steam, n h shortly afterwards dis
appeared. The men on the lightship
supposed the Cobra had sailed away,
until the evening, when they observed
bodies floating in the water and signal
ed to the fishing boat to investigate
the disaster. ,
a dispatch from Middlesboro says
twelve survivors Of the crew of the Co.
bra were landed there this morning,
and confirms the first report that all
the others were drowned.
The British admiralty has received
information that the explosion oc-
CURED after the Cobra struck a rock
and that she sank Immediately.
Corrected figures as to the Cobra
show that she had seventy-nine souls
on board. For sixty-seven, no hope is
held out. but torpedo boats and cruis-
ers lave gone at full speed to the scene
Of the disaster, which is the most Sc
rious the British navy has suffered
since the sinking of the Victoria.
Lieutenant Boswerth Smith, the CO.
bras commander, stood upon the
bridge with his arms folded as impas-
with the vessel.
The Cobra, like her sister boat, the
Viper, was a turbine engined vessel.
She "a just left the yard Of her on
tractors and was undergoing a boiler
test.
About one year ago., the torpedo boat
destroyer Cobra beat the record of the
Viper n won the title of the fastest
vessel of the world. The record of the
Viper, which vas afterwards wrecked,
was forty-three smiles an hour, while
the Cobra, in an unofficial trial over the
same course as that sailed by h Viper,
at the mouth of the Tyne, made 37.7
knots, or 43.5 miles. The Cobra was an
exact duplicate of the Viper.

Reciprocity Treaties Again

In one of his recent SpeecheS-if we
are not mistaken. it was at Minneapo-
lis, on September. 2-Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt said:
Here again we have got to remem-
Der that our first duty is to our own
people. We must continue the policy
that has been so brilliantly successful
in the past. and SO shape our economic
system as to give every advantage to-
the skill, energy, n Intelligence of
our farmers, merchants, manufacture
ers, and wage-workers, and yet we
must also remember in dealing with
other nations that benefits must be CIV
en- when benefits are sought. 1t is not
possible to dogmatize as to the exact
way of attaining this end; for the
eXact conditions annot be foretold. In
the long run, one of our prime needs is
stability and continuity Of economic
policy. and yet through treaty or BY
direct legislation it may at least, in
certain cases, become advantageous to|
supplement Jul present policy by a sys-
tenn of reciprocal benefit and obliga-
tion."
This is sensible, u~nvarnished talk,
and we quite agree with an ecstaticI
contemporary-in the organ business
that 1.-The proposition is as plain AS
day" We fail to see, however, hat the
utterance can be twisted into an argu-|
ment in favor of reciprocity treaties asI
a substitute for our present system of
tariff legislation. Leaving aside for the
all question as to the constf-l
t~utionality Of an expedient which dis
penses with the house of representa-
tlveS as a factor in the scheme Of ma
tlonal taxation, We are still unable toI
recognize the virtue of hat e~xpedient|
in the light of it's own intrinsic merits.
We are told that our foreign trade was
~~1-~ co 800 W. - -
for years past our commerce has BEEN
steadily expanding. And yet it is a fact
that we have attained his magnificent
zenith of prosperity without departingl
from constitutional observances and
limitations and in spite Of h dominat-
ing influence of the house of represen-l
tativeS.
No one has yet expounded to our sat
isfaction the merits of the proposed in
novation. We may say, indeed, that
no one has brought forward the small
est xcu for an abandonment OF the
