ONLY FOUR WERE LOST
Most of the Crew of the Fish
ing Schooner Fish Hawk
Safe in Port.

Highland Light, Mass, Dec u.-Four
Of the twenty members Of the crew of
the Boston fishing schooner Fish Hawk
lost their lives last night after desert
ing their vessel, which had struck and
was pounding heavily on Peaked Hill
bars, at the north end of Cape Cod.
Five others, including Captain Bly,.
who followed their companions over
the side. had severe siX-hOurs' tussle
against a freezing sea and gale in
small dory. but managed 10 reach
ProVincet0wn harbor. The deaths and
suffering would have been avoided had
al stayed by their vessel, which had
miraculous escape and four hours later
was safely anchored in Provincetown
hsrbor.
The Fish Hawk was fishing off Cape
Cod yesterday when the weather be-
came threatening and Captain Bly, de-
Cided to run into PrOvincetOWn. Be
fore he reached the end of the cape the
vessel fetched up ON the Peaked Hill
bars. Captain BLY, burned his signal
torch and then ordered his crew into
the boats. -Four of the seamen jumped
into a dory, which was almost imme-
diately capsized. Captain BLY, and four
others left the vessel a few minutes
later. Before the rest of the crew
could follow their skipper the wind and
sea had driven the Fish Hawk over the
bar and she was navigated into Prov

London, Dec. 1.-THE admiralty has
issued circular TO all naval command
ers explaining Lord Selbourne's scheme
which becomes effective on Jan. !. and
detailing the organization of warships
of the reserve. Each ship on the war
list not in commission at sea will be
kept commissioned in the reserve and
have a nucleus crew. comprising the
important officers and two-fifths of the
war crew, including all experts in tor
pedo and gunnery ratings. The reserve
ships will be distributed between three
home ports, and provision viii be made
for surplus crews in barracks to en-
able six battleships or first-class cruis-
ers to be fully commissioned on emery
ency without dislocating the general
mobilization arrangement.

the evidence. there being no stenog-
rapher in attendance.
The Record Miner says:
Witnesses were not sworn. and their
statements were not even taken down
by stenOgTapher What an invitation
to Islander and vihhcation! Men went
before this committee to testify against
Judge Brown, who, had they been
sworn to tell the truth. would have dis
regarded their oaths when assured that
no one besides the committee would
ever know what they had TO say. and
we venture 20 say that had Judge
Brown been permitted TO attend the
hearing. some OF the stories would
never have been told, while others
would have been given SO differently
that they could never have been recog-
nized as the same"
II is possible that the friends of Judge
Brown in Wyoming will take the mat
ter up with the president and see to it
that Judge Brown is indicated. al
though they cannot hope for his reap
pointment to the bench in Alaska.

IREASHINGTON, Dec IA largely
WI attended anti-Smoot meeting was
held in the First congregational
church here this afternoon which was
presided over by Bishop Earl Grams
ton. Addresses were made by Mrs.
Teunis Hamlin. Charles NJ. owen. Dr..
Z. II. McKim and Mrs Marie Weed,
the latter designating Smoot as Il
member of the hierarchy of Baal"
Mrs. Weed in her address said that
the original Joseph Smith, founder Of
MoTmonism, had two wives, and at the
close Of the meeting lively verbal tilt
took place between her and Joseph Nj.
Smith, of Lamont. Ia, grandson OF
Joseph Smith, head of the Josephites,
who disputed the accuracy of this
statement.
Mrs. Weed in concluding her address
said:
The infamous Mormon system
originated in the practical joke of the
professed free lover and charlatan and
its growth and power prove that the
monstrous doctrine IS kept alive by
the fanatical loyalty of ITS devotees.
But one Of the witnesses for the
prosecution is known to have reached
the capital. This is Recorder Nichol-
sen, Of the temple. Attorney Tayler,
of the prosecution, who VII resume
charge of the case at tomOrrow's hear

establishing that at least dozen

JAPS CONTINUE

Determined to Destroy Unlucky
Port Arthur Squadron.
SEVASTOP0L STILL AFL0AT
ONLY BATTLEsHIP REMAINING
INTACT.
SEVASTOPOL STILL AFLOAT

T OKIO. Dec. II, p. m.-The Japan
csc continue to batter the Port Ar
thur fleet. and there is little ground
for expecting that II viii ever again
engage the Japanese. The battleship
Sevastopol continues at anchor outside,
but possibly returns to the harbor at
night and anchors inside the outer
boom. which protects her from torpedo
boats. The recent heavy weather has
given added protection to the vessel.
Naval experts ere discarding the
theory that the Russians themselves
sank any of the ships. The fact that
the vessels first showed lists while in
exposed positions and the efforts made
10 save the SevastOpol are regarded AS
conclusive evidence against the theory
OF their being sunk by the Russians
A majority of the sunken warships lie
headed northward They received the
bulk of the fire across their port sides.
and the fact that at least two of them
showed lists 10 starboard gives rise 10
the theory that Japanese shells eX-
ploded inside the ships and
against the starboard armOr, driving
the armor outward and causing leaks.
To make sure of the destruction of the
Russian warships the Japanese con-
tinue to drop shells into the sunken
hulks. The Whereabouts Of the torpedo
boat destroyers continue doubtful. but
it is thought they are sheltering out
side the harbor.
The weather prevents a good observ-
alton being made. but the Japanese are
sending a searching fire into the hooks
which are not observable from 2O3-
Metre hill and other heights. The OBJ
servers. represent a number of tugs,
launches. dredges and small craft an
chored near the hospital ships in the
west harbor. where they evidently have
gone for the purpose of Obtaining pro-
lection. It is suggested that the be-
siegers notify Lieutenant General
StOessel to separate these vessels from
the hospital ships or take the conse-
quences. The japanese are exercising
care to avoid hitting the hospital
ships. which frequently are i'm the d.
rect line of fire.
