IN LAKE ST. GROIX

Sinks Without Warning.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
SALTWATER, Mimi, Sept. 49,
The bowboat Park Bluff, the consort
for the steamer Glenmont, of the Van
SAINT Towing company, of which Gov.
Van SAINT is part owner, sank in thirty
six feet of water opposite South Still
water in Lake st. Croix late Saturday
night, and James Ferguson, engineer,
residing at La Crosse, was drowned
The Park Bluff was in front of the
Glenmont, both boats running light.
Capt. Abe Mitchell, who was at the
wheel, noticed that the Park Bluff was
digging her bow into the water and
stopped. The engines of the Glenmont
were reversed, but in less than a min
ute the Park Bluff went down and
pulled the bow of the Glenmont down
with her. The lines were cut to save
the Glenmont from sinking.
Capt. Elmer McCreary, of Winona,
who is one of the owners of the boat,
was on the Glenmont, and he says he
has no idea of how it occurred. She
may have struck sunken log.
Five men were on the Park Bluff
when she began sinking, and all man
aged to get out over her upper works,
with the exception of Engineer Fergu-
son, who had started through the en-
CINE room, but was caught by the in
rushing water before he could escape
He was about sixty years old, and
leaves widow, two sons and one
daughter.

BOSTON, Sept. 13.-At a mass meet
ing of Armenians from all over the
united States, held in this city today,
resolutions were adopted that Presi-
dent Roosevelt be petitioned to inter
cede to protect the lives and property
OF Armenian Americans in Russia.
The protest to the president will
strongly condemn the whole Russian
administration as conducted in defiance
OF law and morality. The petition will
take the ground that the car has con-
hscated the property of citizens of this
country without process of law and
that therefore indemnity should be
given.
A committee was appointed to pre-
sent the petition to President Roosevelt
at Oyster Bay.

FARMERS FACE
GREAT CALAMITY
Heavy Rainfall Is InfIictina
Much Damage Upon Wheat
in Shock.

The farmers of the Northwest are
racing calamity. Unless the rain
rail- ceases in short time the losses
will be tremendous.
From all parts of the spring wheat
country come reports of heavy rain
falls, which have done great damage,
to the wheat in shock In addition to
this it is asserted that great quantity
or grain has been stacked while damp.
and when it is threshed the grower
VIII md that his property is almost
unstable.
Some of the grain men take most
iugubrious view of the situation, while
others are more optimistic.
Inc elevator men who look on the
dark side of things, assert that after
the farmers have retained their seed
ana the country mills have secured
what they need for their own con-
sumption, there will be not more than
io'oOo,O00 bushels in the three statey
available for the Minneapolis mills
and export
rms Is a most extreme proposition
put all agree that the rains have been
responsible for the lowering of the
grades and that No. 1 Northern wheat
the contract grade, will be scarce and
dealers In actual grain will have diff
cuity In securing sufficient quantities
10 cover their contracts for delivery.
Inc optimiStS, and there are MANY
say that the picture is overdrawn and
there will be plenty of good milling
wheat, although the quantity of No. i
northern will not be as large as ex-
pected.
They assert that it has rained during
threshing time in other years and the
farmers have marketed large guam
tlty OF wheat. The rains will be re-
sponsibie for the low grade which they
will be given for their grain and a large
quantity of wheat which ordinarily
pass for No. or No. 2 will be in the
rejected list
The mills will have plenty of grain,
put there will be difficulty when the
spectators begin to settle their ac-
counts.
The rains are extending into the corn
country and it is feared there will be
large losses In this locality AS in the
case of wheat in the shock, the corn is
sprouting and made valueless for COM
mercial purposes.
Everything depends upon the wealth
er and should the rains continue to fall
the loss will be great, according to
some authorities.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Daily Mails

tlations were proceeding between his
committee and Servia, and also that
the SerVian premier lately sent scouts

respondent of the Daily Telegraph
sends under Sundays date another
long dispatch, warmly defending Bull
garia'S patient and quixotic attitude of
loyalty toward the porte and the DOW
ers, and denouncing Europe,s indiffer-
ence to the wiping out of large Chris
tan community. He says:
Bulgaria has displayed unexampled
moderation. Her last urgent request to
the powers was that they should COM
pei Turkey to suppress the rising by
legitimate methods of warfare, but to
spare women and children from indig-
mites and massacre.
But even this Christian Europe has
refused, and now Prince Ferdinand's
government, having carefully consid-
cred the question and aware of the
disastrous consequences with which
the powers threaten Bulgaria if she
1ntervenes, has decided that it cannot
longer neglect its sacred duty to pre-
vent the Christian population being
done to death. In a couple of days
more the die will be cast, and Bulgaria
will do her duty. An official communf-
cation will be made to the powers in
the above indicated sense and forth
with the necessary measures will be
taken and only countermanded if the
powers Immediately intervene This is
Bulgaria's last word The moral re-
sponsibility will fall upon Christian
Europe, even if the material conse-
quences have to be endured by Bull
garia."

newfoundland Sailors Heroic Self
Sacrifice in Saving II Drown
ing Mate.

Not long ago, during q gale on the
Banks. Henry George, of the crew of
the Newfoundland schooner Pioneer,
was swept overheard by a wave A
comrade. Joseph Mooney, grabbed a
bait plank as a support and sprang
after him, relates Leslies Monthly.
Cumbered as he was with his oil
clothes and sea boots, Mooney first
worked off his foot-gear and then his
coat and swan for his chum. George
was floating unconscious on the sur
face of the water, having been thrown
against the bulwark and hurt as he
was flung over the side After a long
struggle Mooney reached him and
gripped him by the collar with one
hand while with the other he held
the frail plank in position between
them. In this perilous plight the two
men remained for three hours. until
the schooner was able to beat back to
them. The sea was running mountain
high and it was feared a dory would
not live in it. To lessen the risk for
the skiff and the men in the water. the
schooner had to be run down almost
sheer upon the latter, and then a dory
with two men in it was launched bod
lily by mighty heave Of the rest of
the crew, and in the 'Iull" created
under the sheltered lea of the craft.
the rescue was soon accomplished.
Mooney was at the last gasp. He had
not only suffered the buffeting of the
waves and the chill of the cold, but
besides the effort of keeping his COM
fade on the plank he found that the
board could not support both their
weights, and consequently he had to
swim himself most of the time. He
tainted when he was dragged into the
boat, but his grip was so tight on his
companions collar that his fingers had
to be pried open with a marIinspike.
