CRUISER BROOKLYN
Struck Uncharted Obstruction
During Navy Maneuvers
--Out Of Com m isslon
For Repairs.

New Bedford, Mass, Sept. 5.-The
United States cruiser Brooklyn, the
flagship of Rear Admiral Coghlan,
struck a hidden rock in Buzzard's
bay yesterday and sustained seriors
damage. The vessel Is of larger s'ze
than most boats which enter those
waters without local pilot, but the
officers state that the rock upon which
the vessel struck Is uncharted.
The Brooklyn, together with three
other vessels, the Olympia, Puritan
and Mayflower, made an attack on
Fort Rodman in the pursuance OF the
plans of the naval maneuvers, but was
repulsed. The defenses Of the eastern
approach to New Bedford replied to
the attacking squadron with a hot
fire, and after couple of hours the
vessels drew off to rejoin the squad
ron. AS they crossed Buzzard's bay
and when they were just opposite
Dumping lighthouse the Brooklyn,
which was steaming slowly, stopped
dead, listed to starboard and began
to settle.
DISCIPLINE PERFECT.
The discipline on the cruiser was
perfect. Scarcely had the shock been
realized when the sailors and marine:
sprang to Stations" the orders fol
the closing of the compartments hac
been given and followed out and the
matches closed without hitch or
moments delay. No signs of per,
turbation were to be seen.
The cruiser held on the rock but 9
few seconds. when she began to slidt
off. 1t was found that she was mol
taking much water and by the use
of pumps was enabled to steam to ar
anchorage. Divers will be sent down
tomorrow to examine the vessels
bottom, and IL the damage is as seri
GUS as is now feared she will be taker
to New York for repairs, and hence
will be out Of commission for the res
of the maneuvers.
ADMIRAL ON THE BRIDGE.
1t was thought better not to sem
her to Block island, so, while tn,

Sculptor Pausch said: II have en-
deavored to create, not cemetery de-

in this.
The weight of the monument is to
be Sc tons; it's height is 26 1-2 feet;
the height of the pedestal II 1-2 feet;
the height of the statue itself 8 feet,
to be made of bronze while the lest

JUST FORTY SECONDS TO VOTE
New Method of Republican Intimidation

The Republican state committee has instruct.
ed its party workers to place watchers at every
polling precinct in the state, to keep tab on the
length OF time 1t takes Republican voter 10
vote. The committee has figured that if man
votes the straight Republican ticket, he has only
to make one mark on the ballot, and that is a
cross in the circle, and this should take him
not over forty seconds. 1t has been given out
cold, through the Republican press, that the
voters must not let the "rubber-necks" at the
polling places them stay too long in the
booths.
The Republican voters are revolving against
this intimidation. They claim the right to
use all the time they please in preparation of
their ballots They are kicking vigorously
against this espionage.
There is only one piece of advice which we
care to give to the Republican voter, anG that
is this: Whenever you see one of these two
dollar "rubber-necks" watching around the
polls, slap his face. This seems to be the only
expression an independent man can give to his
feelings under the circumstances.
The dander will no doubt rise up in every
Republican voter in the state when he hears of
this new infamy.

Who Are The Anarchists?

The colossal egotist, President Baer, who
says he is one of Gods stewards on earth, be-
fore the face of the president of the United
States, brands the miners as anarchists.
Let us see.
1t was tine miners who offered arbitration.
It was the operators who demanded muskets
1t was john Mitchell who spoke of industrial
peace.
1t was President Baer who declared for war.
1t was President Baer who told the president
Of the United States to attend to his business
and let the operators attend to theirs, and then
asked for troops to end the strike.
Who, then, are the anarchists?
Is it not crime against humanity for the
strong to crush, the weak?
An anarchy Of greed at the top of society is
dangerous as All anarchy of poverty at the bot
Exchange.

ANOTHER INFAMY
One More Trick Of Republican Officials
Unearthed

As tne goes on aud the election draws near
il e velops more ard more that the ant-fusion
q >.i;ou law vas gotten up merely as a vehicle
70, hr opportunities wished by the Republican
managers ,r poll ical tricks. Hundreds Of in
cotyistencies ai:d contradictions have already
been found, but perhaps the most infamous
provision in the whole law has at last been
found in recent decision by Attorney Gen raj
Godard, to The effect that the ballots should De
printed in the same type as the words "No
Nomiuation" are printed. Heretofore, ballots
have been printed in small plea type, the names
of the candidates being printed in SIN all pica
capitals The new law provides for no change
in the type, but does provide that the words
"No Nominal ion" which are placed in the space
allotted fol the candidate when no nomination
has been made tor that office shall be printed in
BREWER capitals. The intent of tie law seems
TO have been to distinguish 'No Nomination
from the name of the candidate, so that no
mistake could be made in the matter. The rul-
ing of the attorney general, however, forces the
whole ballot to be printed in the same type as
the words ''No Nomination.. One can see at
Il
confusing the voter, nasmuch as when the voter
is marking down his ticket he is very likely TO
mark in the square syly provided to tine right
of the words "No Nomination and thus, under
the law, invalidate his ballot.
But this is not all the effect of this ruling:
Heretofore nearly all the printers in the state
have been setting the ballots up in small plea
type. This year. they were not notified until
the 2Ist of October that they would have to set
the ballot up in BREWER. Most Of them already
had the ballots set up and had to reset them on
short time. This was very great hardship
and absolutely unnecessary, as the law makes
no provisions whateve. except supposi ors
one in the sample ballot providing for a c:ltain
kind of typc All this trouble has been caused
without one particle of reason for it except 10
nrovide that the words ''No Nomination. might
appear on the ballot in the same type as ihe
names of candidates, so that voters might make
mistakes and nvalidate their ballot.
There is no way of estimating how many
more infanies will be found in this ballot law
except in the sad experience which the voters
of Kansas will go through in their endeavor 10
express their will under this law won November d.
The Republicans, Democrats and Popuists,
all alike, will certainly vote down this product

THE Topeka Cap tai quotes Secretary of State
Clark as saying that the nomination of the fusion
representatives in one of the districts of the
state was illegal und II the workings of tue anti
fusion law. There is little doubt that he is
right, but he does not tell all the truth. The
whole truth is that hardly a single nomination
made by the fusioni,s this year was legal under
this anti fusion ballot law. The only saving
part of it IS that tbs Republicans have not the
nerve to enforce it fully. Should the people
give their sanction to the law this year, its tull
iniquities will be enforced two years hence, and
the Populists and Democrats and Republicans
alike will cry out against it, as it pits fetteres
on every voter in the state.
