WRECK OCCURS ON LONELY ISLE
Three HUNDRED MILES,
OFF SCOTTISH COAST.
VESSELS PASSENGERS MAINLY
EM'eRANTs FROM RUSSIA
AND SCANDINAVIA. -

London, July 4.-Between 600 and
700 Scandinavian and Russian emf
grants bound for New York were
drowned in the North Atlantic June 90
The Danish steamer Norge, which
left Copenhagen June % with TIA souls
on board. struck a reef on the islet OF
Rockall, about 200 miles off the west
coast of Scotland
A great hole was torn in the bottom
of the ship, which sank at once, only
128 persons having escaped with their
lives SO far as can be learned. -
Early on the morning of last Tues
day the Norge, which was out of her
course in heavy weather, ran onto the
Rockall reef. which in the distance
looks like ship under full sail. The
Norge was quickly backed off, but the
heavy seas poured in through rent
in her bows.
The emigrants, who were then
awaiting breakfast below, ran on deck.
The hatchways were scarcely built
for these hundreds of souls and be-
came clogged.
The Norge quickly began to 60 down
by the head. = Eight boats were low
cred and into these the women and
children were hurr1edly put. Six of
these boats were smashed against the
sides of the Norge, and their helpless
inmates caught up by the heavy seas.
Two boatloads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship and many
Of the emigrants who were left on
board, selling life belts, threw them
selves into the sea and were drowned.
Captain Gundel, so say the. surviv-
OTIS, stood on the bridge of the doomed
vessel until it could be seen no more.
Hundreds Go Down With Ship.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats,
but those were already too full and
their occupants beat off the drowning
Wretches with oars.
One of the survivors said that when
he got on the deck the Norge was
half submerged and was rapidly GET
ting lower in the water. Half mad
with fright the survivors all strug-
gled for places in the boats. They
fought their way to the big lifeboat
and an officer slowed in the six women
and the girl and then told the men to
get in.
The officer then took charge and got
the boat away from the side Of the
Norge. Seeing that the boat was al
ready overloaded the officer, with
great heroism, jumped into the water
and tried to board another boat which
was not 50 full He failed and WAS
drowned.
In the sea by this time was mass of
struggling men, women and children,
gasping and choking from the effect
OF the water. The boat rowed clear
Of this seething inferno and just as she
drew away the Norge went down.
The only hope for the missing is
that some few Of them might have
been washed UP On the barren rock.
Their chance of being rescued even
then is practically nil, for vessels sail
ing the North Atlantic give Rockall as
wide berth as possible.

two sailors were drowned at the Baltic

SEARLES GALLERY GAYLY

Festival

The preliminaries of the Mardi
Gras ball are quite complete and the
decorations are nearly all in place.
Never before was the Searles gallery
so pretty as now in it's dress of violet
and yellow and hung with numberless
lanterns of carnival colors. Golden
spheres. birds. butterflies and numer-
Gus other things of the air and sea
float overhead and the effect is mag
ical.
The Egyptian pageant will be a
strong feature made up from the
members of the Alumni Association of
the School of Design, of which A. Alt
mann is president. These gorgeously
costumed sons of the Nile will have a
king all their own, Newton J. Tharp,
who will reign for one brief night as
would become a king of the house of
Pharoah. And surely Isis must be
there. but who the fair maid will be

MAXWELL IS MUCH TANGLED IN FINAL
 COUNTY
ss>N,

The Arizona Blade. edited by Tom Weedin. who arrived in Arizona more than twenty-five years ago and yho knows as much of the territory's his tory as any other man and who has been studying the problem of nation al irrigation for a quarter of a cen tury, thus reports the appearance of the man Maxwell in that city. While much of the article refers to matters specially local with the people who have suffered from the rascality of Maxwell in having the progress of the San Carlos Teservior stopped. still it serves to show just how this import ed Yankee is being received in many parts of Arizona:
 Pursuant to grandiloquent an nouncement Geo. H. Maxwell the corporation attorney and special pleader for B. A. Fowler, arrived in Florence. Monday at noon. Not a soul met him at the depot or greeted him when he alighted at the hotel. He was permitted to wander along the strets like a lost sheep with TO one to answer his bleat of distress. In the evening about so people. i'm pelled by curiosity, strolled in to the court house to hear what he had to say. He had announced that there would be no politics in his speech. hence a majority of his audience were composed of democrats,
 He was introduced by Chairman McGee, of the republican central committee. and after tossing to the audience the customary preliminary boquets, digressed to tell his hearers what a pure christian gentleman he was. with heart as tender as a spring daisy and in which there lurked only love and compassion for his fellow man. There was no room in it for malice or hatred of those who hated soul shrank from the mere thought of falsehood even as the quivering flesh of the tiny calf shrinks from the touch of the soaring iron in the hand of the cowboy. We involunta- rily looked toward the ceiling to see the hand of St. Peter reach down and lift him into heaven to remove him from the c0ntaminating influences and corruption environment of this wicked world. Then hee remembered that those whom the Gods love die

young. and realized that St. Peter was not keeping eases" on him now.
 After presenting this inventory of his christion virtues MT Maxwell pro ceeded with the business in hand. which consisted chiefly of abuse of those people of Florence who had dared to question and criticise the methods resorted to by him and his eo-conspirators in defeating the San Carlos project in the interests of the Tonto job.
 Then he proceeded, further on in his trade. to prove this statement by de- claring that Mark smith. E. A. Fow- Ter himself or no man on earth could have gotten. or can get. the San Car los reservoir built till the government shall have proven to its own satis- faction that reclamation of the Piraa Indian lands by pumping water is im- possible. Either the first or the sec ond of these statements most be un- true. One is a positive contradiction of the other. If the latter is true then how could the fight the Blade and the people made against Maxwell and his gang have operated to prevent the commencement of construction work on the san Carlos dam? After mak- ing these contradictory and childish statements. Mir. Maxwell proceeded to say that he had worked hard to have
 the San Carlos dam built but cited nc evidence in proof of his claim. A few moments later. however. he under
 took to show that Mark Smith had lost the san Carlos reservoir by work | ing for the passage of the national irrigation law, and while arraigning that he and Fowler and the Nationa | Irrigation Association were not onl! fighting the passage of this Nationa Irrigation law. but were moving heav-
 en and earth to obtain appropriation i for only three reservoirs. neither one
 of which would be located in Arizona
