Marseilles, June g. - terrible
shipping disaster occurred little dis
lance from tbs port at noon yesterday,
when two passenger steamers, the
Insulaire and the Liban, both belong
ing to the Fraissenet Steamship Com
pany OF Marseilles, came into col
lision. The L;ban sank and over one
hundred of her passengers and crew
persisted
The steamer Liban left Marseilles
yesterday morning on her regular pas
senger trip to Bastia, Corsica, and was
run down and sunk by the Insulaire off
the Marie islands. The collision was
witnessed by the pilot boat 8lechamp,
which was about two miles distant.
The Blechamp Immediately repaired to
the spot to render assistance. The
force OF the collision had
Cut Great Hole
In the Liban's side and she already
was taking water rapidly. Her cap.
tain saw the only chance was to run the
steamer aground, and the Liban was
headed full speed for the shore, but
within seventeen minutes of the col
lision and while still In deep water,
the fore part of the steamer plunged
beneath the waves and few minutes
later she had entirely disappeared.
In the meantime the Blechamp, the
steamer Balkan, also belonging to the
Fraissenet company, and other yes
sells had drawn near the sinking ship
and were making desperate efforts to
rescue those on board. The Blechamp
picked up forty persons. many Of
whom were at the point of exhaustion.
The Balkan rescued thirty-seven pas
sengers, and up to the present it is
known that in addition to the passen-
gers seventeen of the crew were also
saved.
Scene Terrible One.
Officers of the steamer Balkan de-
scribe the scene just before the Lihan
disappeared as terrible one. AS the
vessel was sinking she was inclined to
such an angle that her masts struck
the water, causing an eddy which
made the work of rescue most difficult.
A mass Of human beings were cling
ing to the laundering vessel and ut
tered despairing cries as she went
down. At the same time the boilers
exploded, intensifying the horrors.
For few moments the victims were
seen struggling in the sea, then the
waves closed over them and all was
silent. OF about 200 passengers who
were aboard the Liban it is feared that
at least half were drowned.

termired to use when they found an
other possible customer after having
refused the first offer that had been
made TO them. This story related how
that NAV years ago Il circus i'll pass
ing through eastern Maine had lost a
norcupine-an animal never before seen
i'm the State, and how it had escaped
to the woods never again to be taken
into captivity. At rare intervals since
that time a porcupine had been seen
but theirs was the first ever to be cap
tured in the State. 1t was a very rare
animal indeed and should bring them
n large sum of money as they had cap
tured it after Il most difficult and haZ-
ardous campaign during which they
had given their whole thought and at
tention to the one object of capturing
= porcupine. AS they finished their
story the menagerie magnate who had
given it the closest attention through
out, replied: THAT is a very good
story boys, very good indeed, and if l
had any use for that procupine | would
buy him. But let me tell you that
down in AroostoOk county where
came from we could not turn around
without kicking one of those things
from under our feet" The sailors did
not succeed in disposing of their prize
to this manager.

The comments on New YOrkS big
week, bring out some interesting facts
regarding the character of the popu-
lation of our metropolis. BY the cen
sus of 1900.it appears that only one
fifth of the people there are native
Americans of native parentage. There
were $3.50 New England people in the
city, 2O,231 from the west, 23,549 from
the South and 1917 who were born in
the states of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. OF the wholly foreign-born
population in 1900, total of 1,27O,OS0,
the largest percentages of nationality
were these: Germany, 25.3; Ireland,
215; Russia. 1872; Italy, ia; Austria
Hungary, ST; England, ga. Since 1900
the Russian, Austro- Hungarian and
Italian percentages have been in
creased by the great Jewish immgra-
ton and by that from Italy, now the
largest in a total volume of immigra-
ton which is the greatest in our his
tory. Meantime, the additions to the
Germany and Irish-born are relatively
so small that if the other immigration
should keep up the census of 1910 will
show the Italians and the Jews 70 be
more numerous.

| There are critical times in our lives
when it seems as if we must let go.
But we cling to life with wonderful
tenaCity. Many diseases are very de-
pressing in their worst stages and we
get to the very brink some times; and
yet the hope of survival is great.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought many
back from the verge and given them
new lease of life. The following case
should interest everybody in Augusta.
1t is the statement of citizen and is
easily proven to be correct. Many d
reader will find new comfort and en-
enlargement in this experience:
Mrs. A. B. Sibley of 70 Bridge street
says: The statement in our Augusta
papers about Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ing Mr.. Sibley in the spring of 1896 OF
kidney complaint was absolutely true.
We procured the remedy at G. X. Part
ridges drug store and it gives us the
greatest pleasure two years and half
after that statement was first pub
lished to say that the cure then effected
has been permanent. So that others

The Reclaiminq of Waste Lands.

At the beginning of the next fiscal
year, July 1, there will be SIS 900
in the national treasury, to be ex-
pended for irrigation. There is a
striking commentary upon the growth
and development of our country in the
general extent to which public atten-
ton is being turned to the possibil-
tiles of retaining what were form
erly arid lands.
We are fast getting beyond the period
in our national life when land imme
diately available for cultivation can be
supplied the army of home seekers
| that flock to our shores from foreign
countries or a part of the rapidly in
creasing population already domiciled
under our flag.
With the increasing pressure for
more room, has come a clearer appre-
citation of what can be done to bring
large areas hitherto regarded as bar
rem, under successful cultivation. IT.
rigation has already accomplished
wonders in the west. and the Ameri-
can people as a whole are just Begin
ming to realize it's possibilities. In
Massachusetts and other seaboard
states, the people are already consider
ing the problem of reclaiming large
areas of sea marsh and meadow land,
which are now practically useless; but
which have a deep rich soil that would
it is believed, under favorable condi-
tions. be exceedingly productive.
Within a comparatively recent time
the discovery has been made, that,
by the use of drainage canals even the
everglades of Florida, which We're once
believed to be hopelessly beyond re-
claim, may be brought under cultiva-
ton, with surprisingly good results.
In fact the work of utilizing our
waste lands is yet only in its infancy,
and there can be little doubt but what,
| in years to come, immense areas, now
looked upon as useless, are destined to
support a large population, and be-
come potential factors in our national
prosperity.

Surplus or
1900, SO1.OO IA, 1893, 1900

Thus the first two years of American
administration show an accumulation
OF $2,7OO.O00. of which about 100000
was saved by Gen. Brooke. The total
il a little less than the Cuban balance
for Cuba's single year. During the last
two American years Gen. Wood plunged
into his treasury and overspent ais
revenues by 100000. without APP
parently accomplishing anything more
than has been done by the Cubans with
their much smaller outlay. Cuba
most pronounced success has been in
the economy of her administration.
In her other departments Cuba APP
pears to have been equally successful,
particularly in the administration OF
Justice where it was generally felt she
might be weak. Unquestionably the
little island republic was exceedingly
fortunate in calling to it's chief office
so ar-headed and patriotic man
as Estrada Palma. The first year OF
his administration has certainly been
a notable success. and there seems to
be no reason why, under his wise
guidance, Cuba should not continue to
hold a creditable place among the ma l.
tions

The Cuban Republics First Year.

There can be no doubt that a
feeling of distrust as to Cuba's ability
to maintain a successful independent
government existed very generally
throughout the United States, prior to
the, establishment, of the Cuban re-
public. The population of that fertile
island contained 50 many patriots Of
the fgrandiloquent,r self-seeking, South
American variety, that it was felt to
be an extremely difficult task to bring
them into good working unity. Be-
sides that, our people felt that the Gu
bans as a whole, had been grossly
lacking in a grateful appreciation of
the disinterested part borne by the
United States in securing their political
independence. Events, however, have
shown that there was more or less Of
error in this hasty judgment. The
first year of Cuban self-government
closes a record in every way credit
able to the people of that island. I'm
doubtedly there was for a short time
more or less suspicion among the Gu
ban citizens regarding the Interior mo-
tives of the United States. They had
dealt so long with Spanish duplicity
and insincerity, that they were almost
unable to conceive of such thing as
national disinterestedness. Events,
however, have demonstrated to them
the entire good faith of the United
States, and In return they have been
glad to give us every concession in the
way of coaling stations and otherwise.
which we could reasonably ask for.

Since the porcupine has come in for
so much attention in eastern Maine
during the past few months, a story
has been related concerning one of
these animals which was taken to Bos-
ton several years ago by two sailors.
The vessel in which they had shipped
was retained in the Machias bay for
several days, and While there visit
was made to the shore where the por-
cupine was captured by the sailors
who secured him in a barrel SO that
escape was impossible and gave him d
trip in a coasting vessel-a rare ex-
perience for a quill pig. Arriving at
Boston the captors took their prize
ashore and hunted UP museum where
they hoped to dispose of him at a fancy
price The best offer that the manager
would make them was three dollars,
which was promptly refused and a
market sought in another place. Be
lieving good story essential to dis
posing of such a prize as they carried,
they had spent their leisure time on the
run up the coast in preparing a story
which they would tell when offering
their porcupinc for sale. This they de-
