 Asassiz

Cambridge, Mass. June 12.-Le Baron Russell Briggs. dean of the faculty of arts and sciences at Harvard, was elected to-day president of Radcliffe college, to succeed Mrs. Agassiz, resign ed. The action was taken at the an nual meeting of the associates of the college. Mrs. Agassiz, the honorary president, has for some time felt un- equal to the responsibilities of the po- sition and to-day she offered her resig- nation. The associates accepted the resignation with reluctance, but they recognized that it was inevitable They the unanimously elected Dean Briggs and MT. Briggs accepted. He will con- tinue his present duties in connection with Harvard, taking up the new work at the beginning of the next college year.

Russian AnlbaxsadOr and President
 Discuss ExischenefY Outrages.
 Washington, June 12.-Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, had almost an hours talk with the president this af- ternoonn. He called at the White House at o'clock by appointment and was received by the president in the latter's private office adjoining the cabinet room. Ostensibly the purpose of the ambassadors call was to take his formal farewell of the president as he is leaving for Russia on the 2Srd in accordance with his annual custom of spending his vacation at home. The ambassadors call, however, lasted oyer forty minutes and it is known that practically the whole time was con- sumed in review of the situation in Russia growing out of the recent Jew ish atrocities at Kischeneff, though no statement concerning the conference could be- obtained subsequently, either at the White House or at the Russian embassy. President Roosevelt, 1t can be said is keenly interested in the rep resentations which have been made to this government regarding the treat ment of the Jews in Russia but he also is keenly alive to the traditional friend ship which the government of Russia has shown for the United States.

SCHOONER TURNS TURTLE.
A Marine Tragedy in the Harbor of New
 London.

New London, June 12--During the height of the gale at 10:30 o'clock this morning the little schooner Frederick A. Emerson, 122 tons register, of Booth Bay, Me-, bound light to New York from Bangor, capsized about a mile northwest of Little Gull light in the Race. One sailor of her crew of five was washed away and drowned. Two others clung to the overturned hull and the remaining two men were lashed to the weather rigging. One of the latter succumbed, and the other three sailors. after hours of suffering, were rescued by the crew of the schooner Lugaino, of Portland, bound to New York from Portland.
 The captain of a lumber schooner which put in here early this afternoon reported that he had sighted an over- turned schooner, with men clinging to the hull and rigging, in the Race, but was unable to render assistance. Three relief parties went in search of the der elict, the Scott wrecking tug Cassie, the United States transport tug Sprigg Car roll and Lieutenant Cras and six men of the revenue cutter Dallas, who put whaleboat on board the tug Argo and started out. The sea was very high and the weather so thick that no trace of the Emerson was found until the Car roll sighted the Lugaino after the res cue late in the afternoon and obtained the names of the men who were lost as George Wayland, of Portland, Me, and E. Arquith, of Camden, Me. The crew of the Lugaino also said that one of the rescued men had broken leg. It was impossible for Captain Lavondur, of the Carroll, to obtain any further informa- tjon. The Lugaino kept on her course for New York. x

Philadelphia, June 12.-The steadfast- ness of the textile workers to the fifty five hour movement. for which they went on strike on June 1 will be put to the test during the ensuing week. The strikers to-day drew the remaind- CT of the pay coming to them at their former places of employment. They will shortly be brought face to face with the problem of how to provide daily support for themselves and their families with out income.
 Some of the unions have assessed the members who are working 15 per cent of their wages for the benefit of those who are idle. There has been practically no break in the rans so far
 One concession was reported to-day Henry B. Farrell, woollen yard manu- facturer, who also grants sixty hours pay and time and a half for overtime.
