WARsHIP STRIKES SCHOONER.
Massachasetts Hits Martha 1T. Thomas
 Causing Considerable Damage.

Massachasetts Hits Martin T. Thomas
 Causing Considerable Damage.
 Boston, June 21.-The battleship Mas sachusetts. which left here yesterday afternoon for New York, was in colli- sion last night twenty-seven miles southeast by east of Boston lightship, with the schooner Martha T. Thomas, of Thomaston, from Apalaehicola with lumber. Captain Waite, of the Thom- as, says the battleship struck his schooner a glancing blow on the star board abreast the main mast, tearing off the main chain plates, carrying away rails and damaging some plank ing about the hull, causing her to leak about two inches per hour. The cap- tain says the weather was clear and he could see four miles away. His vessel, having a fair wind, kept clear course, thinking the battleship, which was headed out the bay would give them a clear way. Immediately after the col- lision the Massachusetts put about and followed the schooner into the bay in case she might need assistane, but on reaching the lightship Captain Watts decided that assistance was unnecessa- ny. The Massachusetts then put to sea.

BIG TEXTILE STRIKE LOST
LOWELL OPERATIVES AC-
 KNOWLEDGE DEFEAT.
Their Council, Representing Every Union Concerned, Votes to Return to Work at Once-StruggIe Lasted Nearly Three Months nnd Has Cost ST 1900, 1000 tn Wages.

Lowell. Mass. June 21.-The textile council this afternoon declared the great strike in the Lowell mills at an end. Every union affiliated with the council was represented and the vote was unanimous. Mule spinners and loom fXers were included in this vote, despite statements that they would op- pose return to work.
 The vote showed every delegation fay- orable to a return to work and the Sell timent was that the vote take imme- diate effect.
 When asked for statement President Conroy smilingiy said: We now wor- ship at the altar of defeat, but later we will rise again and conquer
 Agent William s. Southworth. secre- tary of the agents, said when interview ed: Tt will be impossible to start the balance of the machinery so as to en- ploy all who will come back. Running with an incomplete force for three weeks has disturbed the balance that usually exists between stock and prices in the various departments. A mill may have depleted it's stock in certain kinds of yarn, and for that reason be unable to start all of it's looms, even if the full complement of help is available. It is for the selling agents and the treas urers to decide, in view of the market, whether we shall attempt to run in full.'
 The strike began on March 30 and ir- volved about 17.000 operatives. The mills were shut down till June 1, when the agents opened the gates and the majority of the operatives went back to work.
 The strike has cost in wages about $1, ,3OO,OOO.
 It is understood that the agents will take back all the old help they have room for and will make no discrimina- ton against the leaders of the strike movement.
 The high price of cotton precluded any hope of the success of the strikers campaign for 10 per cent. increase.

HAVE THEIR GRIEVANCES, TOO.
Operators wiII Present Number to
 ConciIiaticn Board.


 Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 21.-When the Consolidation Board meets in this city on Thursday the operators will have grievances to be adjusted as we'll as the miners. This will be a surprise to many of the latter who believed that the coal companies had nothing to com plain of. The operators will take ex- ception to the many petty strikes, which are the cause of much incon- venience and annoyance: also that the non-union men are being interfered with and that the coal output is less ened by the practice Of employees re- maining at home on certain days with out permission.
 The miners will offset this with the charge of discrimination, that some of the men active in the strike have not been given work since; that the award of the commission has been violated by change in the condition of mining at many places which does not permit the miners 70 make as much now as be- fore the strike, and that the operators have broken an old custom in the Schuklkiu region by having the men work an hour longer on Saturday. Among other important questions which the miners want settled will be the reduction of yardage, check weigh men, hours of labor for drivers and company hands.

LOVERS TRAGEDY.
Interference i'm Their Plans Causes
 Couple to Seek Death.

Scranton, Pa. June 21.-A pair of young lovers. Ernest Schmic and Miss Jennie Brennan, both of Greenwood, were the participants in double trag- edy early this evening, which has re- suited in the formers death and which will probably also prove fatal in the case os the girl. Another woman from Schmic's old home interVened week ago and sought to hold him to an al- legged engagement witt. her. This led the pair to seek relief in death and they apparently planned to-night's af- fair with much deliberatfon.
 Miss Brennan purchased a bottle of Carbolic acid this morning and shortly afterwards both started out for walk. They strayed to a secluded spot in the midst of forest and spent the entire afternoon sitting side by side on rock. They were seen by several other ram blers in the woods and this led to a search by the girls cousin. Thomas Cavanaugh, and several of his friends. When the party came in sight of the pair, Miss Brennan put the bottle of acid to her lips and drained it. As she did so. Schmic started to run with several of the party close on his heels He drew a revolver and fired upon them three times and then stopping. turned the weapon to his heart and shot himself twice. He fell dead in stantly. The girl suffered great agony and her physicians hold out scant hope for recovery.

New York, June 21.-The third annual convention of the Union of Orthodox Jewish congregations of the United States and Canada was held to-day in the Firs! Roumanian Synagogue. The Rev. Dr. H. Pereira Mendes, president of the union, presided. Reported on the work done by the central conferences of American Rabbis in New Orleans last summer. at which time they ad- vocated the observance by the Jews of a Sunday Sabbath, the presentation committee condemns the suggestion saying 1t views with deep regret that men calling themselves Jews should ad- vocate such plan." s
 A paper by David Werner Amrah Of Philadelphia was read on '.The Law of the State and Jewish Law in which the writer dcplored the fact that many rabbis do not seem to understand that they should not grant rabbinical di- vorces until those applying had first se- cured a civil divorce. A resolution was adopted in conformity with the sug- gestions in MT. Amrahs papers and further that no Jew minister should officia:e at the marriage of a divorced person, unless such person has received state decree of divorce and g, rab- binical "Ghet." % The election Q: officers resulted as follows: President, Rev. pr. o.

HANNA WILL NOT BUDGE.
NO VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMI-
 NATION FOR HIM.
Does Not Want It and WIII Not Have 1t Forced Upon Him-Again Asserts That rsctIon of the White House.

Cleveland, O., June 21.-In an inter view to-day Senator M. A. Hanna reit- erated his recent statement that he was not and would not be a candidate for the vice-presidency and if his nomina- tion was made that he would decline to accept it. He said further that his ann bitions did not lie in the direction of the White House and that nothing could induce him to alter his decision in the matter.
 Colonel Myron T. Herrick, whose name has also been mentioned in con- nection with the vice-presidency, said that his sole political ambition was to be elected Governor of Ohio. Colonel Herrick thinks that the present discus sion relative to vice-presidential nom- ination is inopportune.
 When the refusal of the vice-presi- dential nomination by President Roose- welt was cited to MT. Hanna as an illus tration of how public men sometimes change their views in such matters, and when it was intimated to him that the convention might force the nomi- nation for the presidency upon him, Senator Hanna said that men in public life who know him know very well that nothing could be forced upon him.

SUNDAY WITH THE CREWS.
Rain Keeps Men Indoors-An in Good
 Condition.

Gales Ferry, Conn.,, June 21-Because of the heavy down-pour of rain which fell almost without cessation to-day, the Yale and Harvard oarsmen were compelled to remain in doors on the last Sunday which they will spend here this season.
 Yachting trips had been planned at both camps, but the coaches were un- willing to run the risk of the oarsrnen catching cold in such weather, and there were no excursions.
 The Yale and Harvard men had many graduate visitors to-day, despite the weather, and this broke the monotony of an otherwise dull day.
 The crews are now entering on the last few days on practice before their race on Thursday next. At both camps to-day it was reported that all the oarsmen were in excellent condition. There will be no time rows this week. unless present plans are upset, and most of the time will be devoted to gradually bringing the crew up lon edge'' for race day.

WooLSEY HALL DEDICATED.
Ncvvberry Organ Formally PreseD ted
 Justice EsaIdyin's Address.

Saturday evening. with the formal dedication of Woolsey hall and the opening of the Newberry organ, the Yale commencement of 1903 was begun. The dedication of the hall and it's great organ was an event of more than usual importance. It signalized the comple- tion of the bicentennial group of build ings, which are the most magnificent at the university. The auditorium has seating capacity for 2,800 people and when President Hadley, members of the corporation, deans and representa- tives of the music department marched upon the stage, it was filled by one of the most brilliant audiences that ever assembled at Yale. Despite the heavy downpour of rain the audience came early. The illumination of the memo rial vestibule and auditorium was an imposing sight and was admired and enjoyed by the audience during the in- terval between it's arrival and the opening of the exercises, which began at ten minutes after eight.
 President Hadley introduced Dr. Timothy Dwight Yale's venerable ex- president, who invoked the divine blessing, dedicating the building in the Spirit of the early fathers"
 Dr. Hadley next introduced Judge Simeon E. Baldwin of the supreme court of Connecticut as the speaker of the evening.
 Judge Baldwin delivered the address on the late President Theodore Dwight Woolsey in whose honor the magnifi- cent group of buildings was erected and named. On the platform sat among the other leading Yale professors, Theodore s. Woolsey, acting dean of the law school. son of the reverend Yale leader a half a century ago.
 Judge Baldwin said great building and great name go well together Here from this day forward is to be the public gathering place of the alumni of Yale, and it is fit that this stately hall should bear the name of her great est president
 The judge sketched President Wool sey's early career and depicted the in- fluences which caused him to become a teacher. He said when Woolsey be- came president of Yale it was the Yale of the eighteenth century, with more teachers and more students.
 President Woolsey began by redeem ing senior year. Divisions were estab- lshed. Many of the lectures gave place to recitations. New subjects of study were introduced. It had been the custom from the first that the tui- tion of the senior class should be large ly under the president himself. Presi- dent Woolsey turned over the instruc- tion in Greek to that prince of teachers, Professor Hadley, and took up with the seniors the subjects of international law, political science, and the philoso- l phy ot history.
 l "He was a master of the Socratic , method. Keen, alert, clear-sighted, l quick to note the subtlest distinctions, and able to explain them to slower
 minds, the recitation with him was a series of rapid dialogues, that brought
 into him all that he was able to receive
 There was a moral earnestness in what
 he said and did that transixed the at- : tention of the dullest.

June 21.-In proceed ings which have been begun in the su- preme court an attempt is being made by the Amalgamated Copper company, through charges of bias and prejudice, to take mining litigation in which that company is involved, from the control of District Judge Clancy.

 In the petitions In response to which the writs were issued number of statements are made in support of the claim that Judge Clancy is biased in favor of the interests of F. Augustus company, as against the Amalgamated Copper interests. It is stated that the judge is so prejudiced against the Amalgamated Copper company that it is impossible to obtain a. fair and im- partial trial upon the matter by which the Amalgamated Copper company is directly or indirectly interested.

Duty of the Educated Woman to shs
 fOuuGry.

Country.
 Northampton, Mass, June 21-For his address to the young lady graduates of Smith college to-day President L. Clark Seelye took as his text Rev. xxi, 2, And I saw a holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as bride adorned for her husband" He said in part:
 '''To civil government you are indebted first of all, for these advantages of liberal education. To it you owe, also, your social position with it's unparallel- ed liberty of thought and action. Let it not seem strange, therefore, that I present to you. to-day at the close of your academic career, the claims of public service, nor deem those claims ir- relevant because you cannot vote. A vote is not the measure of your political obligation, nor is 1t Indispensable to your political influence. Suffrage is not a natural right. but a political exped- tent. Whatever be the final solution of this. perplexiing problem, you need not wait till tken to make your influence deeply felt in public affairs. * From educated women the country has the right to demand the best service they can render in stemming the evils which threaten us in perfecting our civil institutions. You owe your coun- try more than you can repay. Through its beneficence you have already obtain- ed political privileges such as you never before enjoyed and from the same source you may expect much greater blessing than you have yet received"
