ure that is said to have gone down with the frig-ate.
 ssBut before the first boat was fair ly under way, and just as suddenly and silently as it had appeared, the hull sank back into the quicksmnds. And it hasn't been seen since"
 "Yes-yes; and the crew of that same station--it's the one closest to Highland light-lost their lives about Is years ago." spoke up George J. Caffrey, surfman No. 4. Tt happened in this way:
 ''An Italian bark was blown over one of the bars and on to the other. The crew shot out ther line and flew signals and all that, but the Italians, it turned out, didn't know the first thing about our work and so they didn't know how to answer the signals and didn't make fast the rope
 ssWhen the captain saw that the Italians didn't know what to do he and his men launched the surf boat and pulled out for the bark. They reached her bow and were just mak- ing ready to take off some of the sailors when the boat got caught in the terrible undertow that exists around the bar and was sucked under.
 Every mothers son of them was drowned like rats. And they went under so suddenly they didn't have time to make single shout for help.
 .''Two hours later the storm died down enough to allow all of the Ital- ians to get ashore with almost dry skins.'

LYNN's LABOR TROUBLES.

Manufacturers Say They Will Elm
 ploy Only Members of the Union.
 LYNN, Mass, Jan. 22.-Little trou- ble was experienced last night when the Boot and Shoe Workers union cutters left their work and were taken under police escort to their headquar- ters in Lasters' hall. This fact is be- neved to be due to the determined stand taken by the authorities and not to any change in the attitude toward the strike breakers on the part of the crowds that filled the streets. Only one arrest was made, and he after being seized by City Marshal Burckes at tempted, it is said, to assault that off cial.
 In the afternoon before the police de- tails had been sent out on the streets the men were addressed by Mayor Eastman and City Marshal Burckes. The mayor told them they were to use every effort to prevent repetition of Tuesday nights disorderly scenes. They were told to carry their clubs, and, while they were to use great dis cretion, they must not be afraid to wield them if it was found necessary to do so.
 The Boot and Shoe Workers union placed fifty more cutters at work this morning.
 The Manufacturers association of Lynn has adopted a resolution contain ing this paragraph:
 Tt is our belief that the question at issue is not generally understood We have an agreement with the Boot and Shoe Workers union, and we are bound to live up to the terms of our agreement and will not under any con- sideration bind ourselves to any other contract. We have therefore decided that we will employ only members of the Boot and Shoe Workers union."

 ..~..., Presidents Act.
 . WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-President Roosevelt has signed the militia bill re- gently passed by congress. The final act in the making of the new law was attended by a pretty ceremony.

E. Marsh, secretary of the committee; General H. M. Byers, adjutant general of Iowa; General Bird Spencer, adju- tant general of New Jersey, and Colo nel B. J. Dimmick, secretary of the Ma tional Guard association.
 After the president had signed the bill Secretary Root delivered a brief speech of congratulation to the com mittee on the enactment of so excellent a measure. General Dick the author Of the bill and the president of the Ma. tional Guard association, made fitting response. @
 President Roosevelt then spoke of the merits of the bill. He expressed the hope that no president ever would be confronted by such an emergency as would render it necessary for him to avail himself of the services of the troops provided for in the bill, but con- graduated the committee and the coun- try on its enactment and said he re- garded the citizen soldiery of the na- ton as most important factor in the protection of the country.

THREE SHIPWRECKS

Tug Have Been Lost.
 MONMOUTH BEACH, N. J., Jan. 22.-Two members of the crew killed by falling masts, four swept overheard and drowned and the captain and four men saved by means of the brooches buoy, one of them dying later from exposure, however, is the substance of the story of the wreck of the barken- tine Abiel Abbott, which went ashore in the night near Harvey Cedars. She was bound from Turks islands for New York, laden with salt, and was in com mand of Captain I. B. Hawkins.
 When the barkentines struck, rockets were sent up by the crew as signals of distress and were seen by persons on shore. The Ship Bottom life saving crew was notified and lost no time in getting out its boat, but owing to a tre- mendous sea which was running it was found impossible to launch the boat. Several attempts were made to launch the craft, but the heavy surf made all efforts unavailirg.
 f Owing to the darkness nothing could UC uldOC UuE O1 lAO NCSSC1, duu Ouly tAC flash of the rockets could be seen. At daylight the stranded ship was discov- cred lying about 800 yards from the beach. Another attempt was made to launch the lifeboat, but this, too, was futile. The vessel was seen to ae rap- idly breaking up, and not long after daylight some of the spars were seen to crash down on the deck. It is sup posed that it was then that two of the crew were killed. Heavy seas were continually dashing over the doomed vessel.
 About 8 o'clock in the morning, as it was still impossible to get out life boat, the life saving crew ran its rock ct apparatus down to the shore and after repeated attempts managed to fire a line across the deck of the strand ed ship. It was caught by the surviv- ors of the crew and make fast and brooches buoy was rigged, in which the captain and four men were brought safely ashore They were in terribly exhausted condition owing to exposure.
