From the Chancellor of Vanderbilt

IL was my pleasure to hear Mr.. Lee
land Powers in his presentation OF
I" Lord Chumley =; and it was to me
a striking illustration Of the power Of
one man to portray dramatic situa-
tions and personalities widely differ
ferent. Mr.. Powers evidently reaches
further than external appearances for
his representations Judged from a
literary and edncatiye standpoint, his
presentations are most worthy Of
commendation and in this day of SUI
perfcial mannerism, it is refreshing
to see the cultured work of an artist.

MISSOURI VALLEY
IS NOW A LAKE.
Flood in NOdaway River Has IsO-

Flood in NOdaway River Has IsO-
lated Council Bluffs.
Council Bluffs, Ia, Aug. 27-The Mis-
souri, river valley from a point twenty
miles north to Pacific Junction, fif-
teen miles south of here, is almost a
lake for the entire distance, and of
the five trunk lines running east from
here, only one, the Illinois Central
is able to get train in or out of
the city.
Two persons, H. H. LaRue, of Corn
ing, and A. R. Fash, of Clinton, Iowa,
horsemen, lost their lives, while at
tempting to rescue a number of per-
sons from the fair grounds, which were
suddenly flooded. LaRue was cleo
trocuted while pushing a boat under
an electric light wire, and Fash was
drowned. Three others are missing and
are thought to have lost their lives
on the flooded fair grounds.
The flood was caused by a sudden
rise in the Nodaway river early to-
day. which submerged the grounds be-
fore those having charge of the \ex-
hibits knew of their danger, part of
them being asleep. The water reached
a depth of twenty-one feet on the
grounds, and washed away a number
of buildings.

SIX MEN DROWNED
IN COLLISION AT SEA.

Schooner John Booth, Granite
Laden, Sunk by H. NJ. whitney.
Stonington. Conn, Aug. 27.-The
Metropolitan steamship H. NJ. Whit
ney, from New York to Boston, ran
down and sank the schooner John
Booth, just west of New Haven during
last night. The Whitney rescued the
captain of the Booth. the Maine of the
Stonington line saved a sailor. but the
five other men in the Booths crew and
a passenger, who belonged in Salem,
Mass, were drowned.
The disaster was reported by the off,
GERS of the steamer Maine. which ar
rived to-day from New York. The
steamer sighted the Booth just before
she went down. and her boats were
put overheard to assist boats from the
Whitney and the Pilgrim of the Fall
River line, which were trying to reach
the crew of the Booth.
The schooner had been struck about
amidships and her side crushed in. Be
ing granite-laden, she settled quickly
and sank before the boats could get
near her. One of the Whitney's boats
reached the captain of the Booth and
one of the Names. boats rescued sail
or named Hassell. who had jumped
from the schooner and was swimming.
Hassell says he was one OF the deck
watch with the captain at the wheel.
The weather was fairly clear, but the
collision, he says. was. entirely unex-
pected. He believes the lookout was
killed when the steamer crashed into
the Booth.

SHANGHAIED BOY
TAKEN FROM BARK.
Had Permission to Ship but Wanted
10 Go on Coaster.

Had Permission to Ship but Wanted
10 Go on Coaster.
New York, Aug. 27.-The American
boy who tried to escape from the
French bark Marachal De Gontaut
yesterday, alleging that he had been
shanghaied, was taken from the vessel
early this morning by Collector of the
Port Stranahan who had gone out TO
sea on the revenue cutter Gresham to
rescue the boy.
The rescue was made after an all
night search at sea, about four miles
east of the Sandy Hook lightship. The
boy is named Hugh Thompson, is 16
years old, and is the son of a sailor
who ships on a coastwise vessel which
plies between Bangor Me, and points
south.
After he had been taken in charge
by the revenue officers young Thomp-
son said he had not been forctbly
taken to the boat but had gone with
the consent of his father. He said,
however. that he thought he was to
ship on coaster and when he found
that the Marechal De Gontaut was
bound for Yokohama and that he
would be absent for many months, he
wanted to return to his home.
The government officials declare that
CaDt. Dennierre of the Frenchman.
made a statement that he had paid
$36 to a boarding house runner for the
services of the boy.
On his return to this city, Collector
Stranahan said the boy had voluntar-
lily appeared before the French consul
and declared himself ready to go to
sea, but did not sign the ships articles
and therefore could be taken from the
vessel.
Later in the day the bark was al
lowed to proceed on her way. The
boy was taken home to his parents.

CAPTURED LONG ISLAND;
LOST SEVENTEEN SHIPS.
Navy Considered to Have Had Best
of Yesterday's Fighting.


Portland, Me-, Aug. 27.-The events
and developments in the war game to-
day we're considered the most impor-
tant since the hostile fleet first appear
ed off Portland. The navy made a
grand coup in the capture of Long is
land in the forenoon, while the army
made a spectacular play in the de-
struction of all the seventeen opposing
ships that attacked the coast defenses
in the afternoon.
The navy. however. seems to nave
had a little the better of it, for strange
as 1t may seem, the capture of Long
Island was considered more important
than the destruction of the seventeen
vessels Long Island has been declared
out of the game until tomorrow at
O'Clock, and thus the big searchligats
win not be working, which will be Of
almost ineatmable value to the navy.
on the other hand. after sunset the
destroyed warships went back into
commission again.
The movements last night and early
to-day were not OF great Importance.

soon as they came within the pre-
scribed 8,00O-yards range, and before
they had fired a single shot. but this
did not detract in the least from the
spectacular interest in the battle, and
for an hour the cannonading was ter
rife.
The vessels Of the fleet began to
leave the anchorage in middle bay ear
ly in the afternoon, and by the time
they were stripped for action, had
formed in single file, in a long line
with Rear Admiral Bakers flagship
Kearsarge leading, and the others fol-
lowing at a distance of about three
hundred yards apart.
AS soon as they reached the 5000
yard limit, the mortars in Fort Nc.
kinley opened fire. For some mo-
ments the fleet was silent, but at last
the Kearsarge Illinois and Alabama
swung their board white sides shore
ward, and opened with terrific fusi-
lade on Mckinley. The example set
by the battleships was soon followed
by every vessel in the fleet.
