Tide Floated Her OF.

The New York grounded while ap-
preaching Cherbourg at 2:30 a. M,
during a fog. The sea was smooth,
however. and the tide was on the flood,
and within an hour and a half the
vessel was fioated without assistance.
Her bottom was damaged and there
was water in the holds, but she was
able to proceed.
Punched q Hole I'm the Assaye.
During the voyage up the channel
a dense fog descended. When eff
Hurst Castle, England, the Assaye sud-
denly appeared. and it was found i'm
possible to avoid a collision. The New
York's bow crashed into the Assaye's
~starboard bow, tearing a great gap
in that vessel. The New YOrk's bow
spirit and figurehead were carried away
and the latter was smashed into frag-
ments.
Saved by Her Bulkhead.
There was great excitement on either
vessel. The boats of the Assaye were
lowered and the troops were mustered,
but the bulkheads of the troop ship
saved her. Both vessels were able to
enter Southampton, and the New York
was locked for temporary repairs.
Nobody was injured. 1t will be i'm
possible to estimate the damage to the
New York until she has been put into
dry dock. 1t is believed that both ves-
sells have been somewhat seriously in
jured. Another troop ship will replace
the Assaye.

The address was brief and declared
that Russia's insincerity had forced
Japan to declare war. and asked the
parliament to give cordial assent to
the war measures to be presented. The

a committee to draft a reply. and it
declares that the commons will obey

all the Japanese victories are "solely

Erroneous Rumor Corrected.

ltumors have been alloat that the La
Dor Unions of this district contcm.
plated agreeing upon certain candi-
dates for their members to support,
and that these would be equally di.
yided between the Democratic aud
Republican candidates. There is no
truth in this report nor foundation
for it. The rules Of the Unions, do
not allow politics discussed at their
meetings. but committee OF Union
men, independent OF the Unions has
been arranged to inquire into the
character of the several candidates
and learn which ones are the most
iavorably disposed toward the Union;
and of course the committee will let
their friends know their judgment in
the matter. Ii is understood, how
ever, that those members of the union
who are Democrats and who vote in
the Democratic primary, will support
the ticket at the general election
whether their favorites are nominated
or not; and that members who are
Republican will act in the same way
toward their party. 1t has also been
reported that Hon John l.. Bradley
was instrumental in getting up the
purporled movement mentioned above,
but there is no truth in that report,
nor have any candidates been allowed
to be at or advise this committee In
any of its meetings.

The machine il set to buzaing
good and hard against Folk. 1t
has entered the whole field against
him and no quarter is the word.
And this is the way the machine
has been set to whirring: None of
the other candidates for Governor
are to interfere with each other, but
each must fight Folk to finish.
Where Halves has some show of
strength, Reed and CAN'T must stay
out and join forces with Halves
against Folk. Where Reed is pre-
sumably the stronger of the three,
CAN'T and HAYES must say out and
join forces with Reed against Folk:
and the same game is to be played
where CAN'T is presumably the
stronger-but where that is no fel-

delegates TO control that body, it's
