ANOTHER MARINE DISASTER.

The American fishing schooner
Gloriana, Capt George Stoddart, of
Gloucester, Mass, ran ashore during a
thick fog on the cliffs of Whale Cove,
near White Point lodges, Nova Scotia,
Tuesday night, and fifteen of the crew,
including the captain were drowned out
of total of eighteen. The high seas
broke clean over the vessel, and she
swung broadside on the lodges and COM
menced pounding heavily. Lines were
thrown ashore from the schooner several
times, but they were either broken or
torn from their fastenings on the rocks
by the surging of the vessel. Four Of
the crew jumped overheard and attempt
ed to swim ashore, but they were caught
in the breakers, dashed against the
rocks, and killed in the attempt. The
others, who were on the vessel, took to
the rigging and chung there while their
strength lasted, but the enormous seas
were more than they could battle against,
and one by one they were swept away.
The three survivors who had made their
way to nearby rocks spent terrible
night. When daylight dawned, they
saw one man still clinging to the rigging,
and made their way to the mainland for
assistance. The people on shore hurried to
the scene of the wreck, and the man was
taken from the rigging, buthe was dead.
The place where the Gloriana was
wrecked is one of the most dangerous on
the Nova Scotia coast. 1t is less than
Il mile of where the steamer Blaamanden
was totally wrecked last year, and only
a half mile from the scene of the wreck
of the steamer Tiber in February, 1902,
when twenty-five lives we're lost.

are defeated. The latest instance is the
Baltimore city election in which Mr.
McLane, the democratic candidate for
mayor, was elected. Forthwith the re-
publicans cry "fraud" and say they will
contest. The idea of a party which has
stolen everything from a county magis-

States prating about election frauds is
enough to make a COW laugh.

The sackviIIe-West Scandal.

London, May Tn the Chancery
court today, Earnest Henri Jean Baptiste
Sackyille- West, who has for years claim
ed to be the eldest son of Lord Sackville-
West, formerly British Minister to
Washington, by the latters marriage to
Josephine Duran de Ortiga, in 1854,
either in France or Spain, sought to OBJ
tain an order in support of his claims to
the title and estates of Lord Sackville-
West The defendants denied the mar
rage referred to, and also denied the
validity of any ceremony if one had TAX
en- place. When Henry Sackville- West
brought suit in Madrid to prove that he
is the legitimate son of Lord Sackyille-
West. the latter admitted that the claim
ant was his son, but said that he was the
offspring of married woman, with whom
he had a liaison in Madrid. This woman s
name was Papita Duran, and she was
dancer. Lord Sackville said she was
married to a dancing master when he
met her. The claimant says that his
mother was legally married to Lord Sack
Vile West, and that the marriage regis
ter was changed so as to make it appear
that she had married dancing master.
Henri Sackville- Vests counsel explained
that the plaintiff had been unable to
bring his claims 10 trial during the life
time of Lord Sackville- West and asked
for the appointment of commission by
the court to examine witnesses in order
thus to perpetuate their testimony. JUS
tice Kekewich granted the application.

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

1t looked last night rs if the Campbell
case will be reopened, and commit,
tee of FIVE members from the House and
five from the Senate will hear the charges
against the Amherst county Judge ana
his defense. The Senate discussed the
case for several hours yesterday, holding
two sessions for the purpose, but reached
no conclusion. The case is the special
order for today. There are indications
that the McIlwaine report, providing for
a joint committee to reopen the case,
will be adopted. Senators Cogbill and
Clayton urged that the House resolution
for removal be concurred in; but Messrs.
Opie, Harvie and Watkins spoke vigor-
ously for the McIlwaine report.
Today Senator McIlwaine will argue
for the adoption of his report, and 1t Is
probable that a vote will by reached.
The Senate passed the bill to increase
the State appropriations to the volunteer
militia from one-half to three-quarters
of per cent, and also the mineral land
tax bill, after defeating all amendments
offered. The bill providing for crop
pest commission was also passed, as well
as the Phillips relief bill to reimburse
contractor for losses incurred in furnish
ing supplies for the restoration OF the
University of Virginia.
The Senate passed by the joint resolu-
tons looking to adjournment. 1t re-
fused to agree to the House amendments
to the bill in, relation to the preserva-
ton of certain useful birds. The House
having agreed to a new conference, the
president appointed the following con-
ierees on the part of the Senate Messrs.
Halsey, Keezel and Walker.
HOUSE.
The House passed number of bills
designed to adapt the laws to the new
Constitution.
The bill of Mr.. Davis amending the
law in relation to employees liens on
the property of transportation, mining
and manufacting companies was passed,
after vigorous opposition. The effect OF
the bill is to wipe out the law which
provided for supply liens, though no
change is made in mechanics and emf
ployes' liens.
The subcommittee of the House COM
mittee on general laws of which Mr..
Cation, of Alexandra, is chairman, yes
terday completed the draft of the bill
concerning the right of eminent domain.
The new statute on this subject is neces-
STATED by the change in the State Con-
stitution. The old law provided for
compensating the owner of land actually
taken by condemnation. The new law
not only compensates for laud actually
taken, but also for damage to his prop
erty as a result Of taking part there
from, and to owners of adjacent prop
erty for incidental damages. The bill
was drafted by Mr.. Cation and is a
carefully drawn paper of twenty pages
or more. 1t will be offered in the
House today.

Ing order.

One of the large local manufactur-
ing houses recently issued an order
forbidding the use of the telephone
by employees; and the edict, which
may seem rather severe TO those un-
familiar with the workings Of such a
concern, is thus commented on by a
member Of well-known firm, which
had been harassed greatly by the tele-
phone tete-a-tete carried on during
business hours and during the hours
of luncheon:
"It's the biggest nuisance with
which business establishment was
ever afflicted" said he. The little
telephone iiirtations and heart-to-
heart talks that are sometimes con-
ducted within earshot of man bur-
dened with the cares of business are
truly exasperating, though they might
be often amusing under different cir
cumstances and environment Here is
a sample:

A Peculiar Threat.

In a Muskogee dispatch to the
Kansas City Journal appears The
following strange statement, which
10 similar if not identical form,
has been published in other met
ropolitian papers:
Secretary Hitchcock showed
some disappointment because the
Federal courts had stepped in and
epjoined the department from col
lecting the tribal tax for the Choc-
taws and intimated that be might
soon order the tax collected re-
gardless of the action Of the courts.
At least that is what McCurtain
says.
The Federal court has not en-
joined the department from col
lecting the tribal tax. The de-
partment made no pretense that it
was trying to collect the tax. II
merely was threatening to close
business houses 10 open violation
OF law as declared year agD by
the court of appeals of the In
dian Territory. The court of ap-
peals decided that the meth cd for
collection Of royalty would have
to be by suit in court.
The white people Of the country
who have bcagnt'lots have some
rights. They can not be deprived
of liberty or property without due
process of law and that was wnst
the Indian agent was trying TO do
when the restraining order was
granted.

relary was guilty OF the imprud-
ent statement attributed to him.
