TWENTY ONE CADETS DROWNED
Danish Training Schooner Rammed
and Went Down.

Copenhagen, June 27.-A serious
disaster occurred last night near here
when the Danish cadet training
schooner Georgestag sank in % min
utes. Twenty-Five cadets were drown
ed and 81 rescued. The boys were all
in their hunks at the time of the disas-
ter. The night was dark, but not so
dark that objects could not be seen at
some distance. The Ancona was con-
siderably damaged along her water
line. The port authorities have placed
an embargo on the Ancona which will
remain here until the inquiry into the
collision is completed. Thus far, only
single body has been recovered by
the dovers who have gone down to the
wreck.
The Georgestag was schooner of
206 tons registration and 1913 feet long.
Apparently she was training ves-
sci for the mercantile marine and was
owned by a private firm of Copen-
hagen.
First Officer Myhre of the George
stag attributes the accident to the An
coma changing her course He said the
Ancona's bow crashed seven feet into
the training schooner's side, bringing
down the latter's masts and rigging
and preventing any of the cadets from
gaining the deck. Those who were not
entangled in the wreckage sprang on
board the Ancona and assisted in
launching the lifeboats. Myhre him
self jumped into the water and rescued
many boys who were entangled in the
rigging.

liates CeIestiaIs Holding Certificates.

By direction of President Roosevelt
action has been taken by the admins
tration which not only will facilitate
the landing in this country of Chinesa
of the exempt classes. but will also
eliminate from the emigration bureau
such administrative features AS have
been the subject of criticism nv Chi.
nese. 1t is the declared intention
of the president to see that Chinese
merchants, travellers, students and
others of the exempt classes shall
have the same courtesy shown them
by officers of the immigration bureau
as is accorded to citizens of the most
favored nations.
Representations have been made to
the president that in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to manv
Chinese seeking a landing in the Unit
ed States, the commercial guilds of
China have determined to institute a
boycott on American manufacturers
The representations, backed by the
authority of the American Asiatic So
ciety and commercial bodies through
out the country induced the president
to make an investigation of the situa-
ton with view of remedying the
evils complained of if they were found
to exist. The subject was discussed
thoroughly with Secretary Metcalf of
the department of commerce and la
Dor, who has supervision Of the immi-
grafton bureau.
AS the result Of the inquiry orders
have been issued to the diplomatic
and consular representatives of the
United States in CD4na by the presi-
dent himself that they must look close
ly to the performance of their duties
under the exclusion law and see to it
that members of the exempt classes
coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These certi-
tcates will be accepted at any port of
the United States and will guarantee
the bearer against any harsh or dis
courteous treatment. Such treatment,
indeed, will be the cause of instant dis
missal of the offending officials, who
ever he may be. ~
In addition to the presidents order
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
lions to the immigration officers,
which it is believed will remedy the
difficulty heretofore complained of by
the Chinese government and individ-
uals. It is anticipated that the prompt
action taken by the government to
meet the objections by the Chinese
will eliminate the possibility of seri-
GUS trade difficulties between China
and the manufacturers of this country.

sold out its controI in the War Eagle,
the Centre Star and the st. Eugene to
a syndicate headed by Messrs. Osler
and Matthews of Toronto. who have
associated with them in the deal other
Montreal and New York capitalists,
caused considerable surprise, as it
was unexpected at a time when the
proposed amalgamation of the mines
with the lie Roi was in progress.
The reason for the sale is the death

FIERCE RIOTS In WARSAW.
Several People Killed a Revolutionary
Spirit Shown.

Warsaw June 27.-Disorderly crowds
have thronged the streets since early
this morning. They erected barricades
at Ogrodowa, Krochmalna and Wronia
streets, on top of which they placed
red flags. The police and soldiers
stormed these barricades, and 10 per-
sons were wounded by bullets or payo-
nets. Another affray took place at
Zelazna street, where Cossacks charg-
ed the crowd and wounded three per-
sons. In the central market a crowd
attacked patrol with revolvers, to
which the patrol replied with volleys,
killing boy and wounding three other
person. Five workmen who had refus.
ed to strike were stabbed to death by
their comrades.
Revolutionary proclamations have
been posted on the walls and 200 per-
sons have been arrested. A heavy rain
fell all day, and this is believed to
have prevented more serious collisions.

withdrawal from Vladivostok of three
regiments of tirailleurs and cavalry

river. Kasegawa's force has develop
ed unexpected strength, numbering
over 100, 900 men.
knowledge that the enemy is so
storing insthe secondary state of the
war has spread a hopeless feeling
among the staff in regard to coming
operations. 1t is convinced now that
Oyama has greater preponderance over
General Linevitch than he ever had
over Kuropatkin, or he couldn't spare
Kasegawa's big army from the seat of
war i'll Manchuria.
The military critic of the Russki
Vedomosti urges Russia to seek early
peace. He says war of exhaustion
could be effective only if Russia S
means were limitless and Japan were
unable to transfer the war to Russian
territory.
A rumor has spread Throughout the
city that General Kuropatkin had been
killed. This rumor was connected
sometimes with report that 70, 900
Russian had been cut off by General
Nogi's army and that Kuropatkin had
been taken prisoner.

MISTAKES OF WOMEN.

One of the mistakes OF women is not
knowing how to eat. If man is not
to be fed when she is, she thinks a cup
of tea and anything handy is good
enough. If she needs to save money
she does it at the butchers cost. If
she is busy she will not waste time in
eating. II she is unhappy she goes
without food. A man eats If the sher-
iff is at the door. II his work drives. If
the undertaken interrupts: and he is
right. A woman will choose ice-cream
instead Of beefsteak, and man will
not.
Another of her mistakes is not know
ing when to rest. If she is tired she
may sit down, but she will darn stock
ings. crochet shawls. embroider doll
les. Does she not know that hard
work tires? If she is exhausted she
will write letters or figure her ac-
counts. She will laus' at you IL you
hint that reading or writing could fail
to rest her. All over the country wom-
ems hospitals flourish because women
don't know how to rest.
Another mistake on the list is their
constant worrying. Worry and hurry
are their enemies. and yet they hug
them to their bosoms. Women cross
bridges before they come to them.
