Underwater, which has been laying off
here trying to float the schooner Fu-
tnre, left for the disabled vessel and it

The vessel was sighted by the out
look of the Orleans life saving station
at Is minutes past 6 O'Clock. Captain
Charles at that station, stated that in
his opinion the vessel was a bark OF
about 500 or 1000 tons burden. The mlz-
zen mast was standing, but only the
stumps of the fore and main mast could
be seen. The vessel had a temporary
sail rugged forward of the miZzen mast
and the spanker was also set.
Captain Charles at once telephoned
to Captain Doanc of the Old Harbor
station and word was sent out to the

off shore. The Underwater left imme-

MAY STRIKES.
Continued from cage ~

on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road We're reported on strike ND to +
O'Clock. this afternoon When the whole

bracing not only the machinists but the
| Alned Metal Mechanics Association, boil
| or makers. blacksmiths, copper workers,
| helpers. etc. as we'll, the total number in
VOWED, according to President OConnell
| OF the Machinists' Union, may approx
mate between 10000 and 1900 men.
Inc strike was ordered on instructions
from headquarters here after the men
along the line had voted unanimously in
favor of the step. A telegram, today.
from John Mulholland of Toledo, nation
al president of the Allied Metal Mechan-
les. announced that he has ordered his
men to cooperate with the machinists.
winch means a sympathetic strike from
that quarter. embracing probably about
1000 men engaged in semi-s,1illed labor in
the Santa Fe shops. Mr.. O'Connel says
| that the machinists are out all along the
Santa Fe from Chicago to San Francisco
and on its feeder lines, 500 of those being
! now specifically reported out.
The allied mechanics, the boilermakers,
>e>'' al PioStiSdiS ali TIE SHOpS west VI
Albuquerque are also reported out Mr..
o'Connell said, tonight. that the men were
prepared to continue the strike indefinite
ly, that they were asking only the same
working agreement now in operation on
other railroads and a discontnuance of
the spotter and detective system which
he said is carried on by the company Ito
shameless degree"
1.-The system" he said, ''is honeycombed
with detectives and the men are watched
the moment they leave the shops and
marked. blacklisted and discrimina ted
against if they protest their right to do
as they please.
We will not tolerate interference. 9th
err railroads must keep their hands off in
this strike. The challenge has been
thrown by the company defying us to a
test of strength. We have done every
thing possible to avoid trouble The COM
pany has been hiring men all along the
line and over the country and herding
them in camps along the line. slipping
them into the shops and letting our men
so. 1t is a question of self-preservation
The mon have been given strict warn
ing against violence. When members in
intense anxiety enter into an encounter
with a man in his place does so without
the advice or instruction of headquarters
and makes himself liable to suspension
and expulsion. We propose to carry on
the strike within the law. Members have
been warned that they must not be par
ty to violence of any kind. but they have
a right to make their grievances known
to anyone employed to take their place,
but to that extent only"

SEBEC LAKE RAILWAY.
Plenty of Gossip About This Proposed
System.

Dover. Me, May 2.-(SpeciaD One
of the chief topics of conversation
among the people of this part of Pts
cataquis county is i'll relation to the
proposed ne welectric railroad to Sebcc
lake. Practically the whole thing.
whether it will be IL reality or not.
hangs on the action taken at the
meeting Of the Dover and FoxcrOft
Water District which will take place
in Mayo's hall, Dover. this evening. ut
o'clock. One of the questions to be
decided at this meeting is to see VI
the water district will vote to lease
the surplus power on it's land and dam
for power to the Sebec Lake RHilWay
Co. Another article is to see if the
Dover and Foxcroft Water District
will vote to appoint a committee 70
execute in it's behalf n contract with
the Sebec Lake Railway 60. for lease
of such power and land.
Just what the water people will do
in this matter has been question III
the minds Of many since it was an
nounced that the railway company was
depending on this power to run its
ears, should the road be put in. There
are many people who at tho present
time think that the chance of having
an electric road from FOxcrOft to Sc
bee lake is very slim. One of the rea-
sons given for their belief is that there
Is practically nothing at the lake for
m electric road. By this they mean
that the lumber which is claimed to be
there is a myth. while the passenger
travel which the company would get
would not pay for the power used. An
other reason given is that it is very
doubtful if the Water District people
will vote to make any arrangements
with the railway people. and their be-
lief in this line is not unfounded ~
any means, owing to the action taken
by this corporation in some other mai
tiers pertaining to the good of both
towns.
1t is thought that If some other road
should come into the twin towns. say
| from Bangor. the proposition would
possibly be a paying ore on account
! of the excursion travel which would
undoubtedly come up this way, especi-
| ally during the summer months, but
| the average Dover man cannot Sc,
| what would keep the cars in operation
| during the winter months. The action
of the Water District is awaited with
good deal of interest throughout this
| part of the State.

San FranVclscO, May DIR Greth
started to make trip of so miles to
San Jose in his air ship, today, but, af-
ter travelling about five miles some
slight disarrangement of the machin-

ager landed safely.

ing in the right direction.
He assembled at $40 A. NJ, with the
car attached to a rope to prevent doing
damage to houses.
When the rope was cast off DR.. Greth
made a circular figure about quarter
of mile in circumference and started
for the south at high speed.
Everything went well until the air
ship arrived off Blansen's six-mile
house in the San Bruno road. 1t was
then going rapidly toward San Jose,
but small valve suddenly gave way,
causing the airship to stop. After the
inventor and the engineer had tried to
repair the break, the fans were started
and the ship descended. Witnesses of
the descent said that the airship came
down gradually and touched the ground
gently. Nothing was injured either in
the car or about the gas bag.
DIR. Greth said that what broke could
not be repaired without certain tools
and he deemed it expedient to descend.
The fans and the rudder are to be en-
larged.
