and added that the ministers confer

ropean Turkey, with the exception of
Old Albania, and gave repeated evil

Count Lamsdorff and Count Goluch-

agreement the powers need not fear
war between Turkey and Bulgaria, nor
any great difficulty in the execution of
the reforms.

OF course, it is incompatible with Amer
lean gallantry to refuse to accede to

as she intends to be her own skipper and
to have an amateur crew, the contest will
seem so much like merely stealing the

failing to fiEd any object to which to
cling, sank in the raging sea, so far as is
known. The waves were rolling hlgh
and several of those who at first saved
themselves from immediate death, lost
strength and sank.
The Rescue.
1t was several hours after the Hackley
sank before the Sheboygan hove within
hailing distance The shouts OF the float
ing men attracted tina attention OF the
sailors on the Sheboygan, and every as
sistance was lent. The rescue was ef-
fected at a. m. The officers of the She
boygan feel sure that they took aboard
every person afloat. Some of the persons
who were rescued say that it is possible
that one or more of the eleven persons
missing may have escaped death. This
view is not given much credence by the
sailors of the Sheboygan. The Sheboy-
gan made into Fish Creek when hope OF
rescuing other persons seemed improDa-
BILE. The rescued persons were so ex-
hausted from their struggle against
drowning that they were unable for some
time to tell anything about the wreck.
The persons saved by the Sheboygan
say that with the crashing away OF the
upper work, all persons aboard the Hack
ley ran on deck. Hasty preparations for
plunge into the water were begun, but
before any plans could be carried out
the boat listed, turned over and went
down like a rock. Search is still making

death and for the bodies of those who

express messenger did the trick by
killing one of the robbers and seri-

the train hold-ups, or greatly reduce
their number, is a little courage and
