schooner In Collision With the NIassa.
chusetts on q Clear NIGHT.

BosroN. June 2l-Capt. Watts and the
crew Of the schooner Martha T. Thomas
OF Thomaston, Me-, are thankful that their
craft Is not at the bottom Of the ocean.
Last night, when the schooner was about
twenty-seven miles southeast by east OF
Boston Light. the battleship Massachusetts
doomed up in the darkness and hit the
schooner rap on the starboard side abreast
Of the mainmast
The blow was glancing one and it is
due to this fact, Capt. Watts says. that his
craft was not demolished. As it was. the
chain plates and railing were torn OF and
the planking crushed in so that the Thomas
leaked about eight inches an hour afterward.
The Thomas was laden with lumber
from Appalachicola for Boston and was
headed into the bay with fair wind. The
Massachusetts, was outward bound for
New York, having left here yesterday
afternoon. Capt. Watts says he cannot
understand how the collision could have
occurred. He says the night was clear
and he could see distance of four miles.
He sighted the warship coming toward
him, but supposed that the lookout on the
Massachusetts saw his lights, so he held
his course. The warship kept coming nearer
and nearer, but Capt. Watts thought she
would sheer off in time to prevent a col
lision.
The course Of tho Massachusetts, was
changed Just enough to prevent her running
the Thomas down head on. After the
collision the Massachusetts, steered back
for Boston to render assistance In case the
schooner filled, but on reaching the light
ship Capt. Watts signalled that he was all
right 80 tho battleship headed out to sea

vICE-pRESIDENCY AN OPEN RACE.
Ro0sevelt's Idea Ia. Let tho best Man Win
In the Convention,

III NVuNcTltl
President Roosevelt expects to be at his
home in Oyster Bay on Saturday and from
that time until late in the fall Sycamore
Hill will be the mecca to which Republican
pilgrims will journey for consultation and
comfts. The Presidents friends in New
York State and other States are to discuss
with him from time to time the apprehended
situation in Washington next winter, and
not the least of the problems will be selec-
ton of the Vice Presidential candidate to
ruin in harness with the President in the
national battle next year.
1t was stated yesterday that the Presi-
dent believes that the race for the Vice
Presidential nomination should be an
open race. and for that matter that all the
candidates should go into the National
Convention next year and fight it out there,
and let the best man win. At intervals,
It Is expected. additional candidates will
pop up, and the more the merrier, as out
Of the ruck the convention in its wisdom
will select the strongest man.
Another interesting point came out yes
terday, A Republican OF renown. who has
recently talked with the President, said;
Some time since. the President was rather
would do next year. That feeling has
now passed with him. He believes with
all his heart that New York State, his native
State, Is to remain In the Republican column
next year, In fact, the President is jubilant
over the outlook all around. His relations
with Senator Hanna are now most cordial.
When the President and the Senator met
at Mr.. Hanna's home in Cleveland little
over a week ago there was the best Of good
feeling and you will sec from this time on
that the twoj men will become closer and
closer.
While at Oyster Bay the President will
take up again, IL was said. the matter Of
selecting a candidate for president Of the
New York Republican County Committee
While apparently there Ia no particular
hurry about it, there Ia still an inclination
not TO delay the selection longer than Is
absolutely necessary.

CAN'T TALK; WANTS TO SLEEP.
4 Harvard Man So Nervous That He Can't
Keen Awake,

LONG BRANCH, y. j., June 2l.-Endicott
c. Alien. young Harvard graduate, who
has been patient at the Monmouth Memo
rial Hospital for the past week. unable to
speak or keep awake, is said to be suffering
from nervousness caused by worry.
His father lives in Boston. He had
financial reverses, and when young Allen
graduated he went to New York and became
a clerk. Up to a month ago his nervous
temperament. instead of causing wakefuI
nights, had the opposite effect with him.
He would sleep for two or three days at
time
He was admitted to the j. Hood Wright
Hospital in New York to undergo a minor
operation. but it was never performed.
Tho physicians ordered him to the country.
A month ago he went to Mddletown. near
Rei Bank to live on farm. where he re-
NAMED until week ago, when, on the
Of the staff Of the Monmouth Memorial
Hospital, he was removed TO the hospital
here for treatment.
At first the hospital authorize. we're
inclined to treat his case as something of a
Joke, but as time passed his condition in
stead OF showing signs Of Improvement,
grew worse Threats were made to put
the sleeper in ice water, but they had no
effect on him.
Ammonia was used to produce wakeful-
ness long enough to give him nourishrnent,
but even this has failed OF late. When
aroused Allen says but a word or two at a
time, and falls back into slumber. He told
the nurse yesterday when aroused that
he suffered no pain.
Aliens condition puzzles the physicians.
They still believe that he may recover, and
within the next day or two complete dag
nosis Of his case will be made with a yiav,
Of giving treatment that will restore him to
Makeflness.

that Lieut. Gen. Charles Egerton, who

The vagueness Of the official and other

a necessary adjunct to his govern

sengers to the chiefs of all the districts
on the big island, appointing certain
days on which all their subjects shoulo
come to Kona district and be counted
The people came Old and young OF
both sexes. The adult men bore large
stones, the adult women slightly small

carried pebbles. The people passed III

into piles. The census piles IN tliiie
