Joy LINE STEAMER SINKS
Arkansas Hits Barge Off Pollook's Rip
in the Night.
Steamer Was Bound From Boston, Mass.
to New York City Boats
Manned Promptly.

Vineyard Haven, Mass. The steamer
Arkansas, Captain Rood, of the Joy
Line, was sunk in collision with the
barge Glendower one and half miles
southeast Of Pollock Rip Lighthouse.
One woman passenger was reported
lost.
The passengers reached this port in
the lifeboats of the steamer. The Glen
dover was in tow of the Reading Rail-
road tug bound east from Philadelphia.
The Arkansas sank almost Immediately
after the collision, but it was said that
the tow kept on. Sixty-five passen-
gers have been landed here.
The Arkansas sailed from Boston,
bound for New York City.
Early arrivals in the steamers boats
could give no idea of the cause Of the
collision. 1t is believed here that it
was due to fog, as there has been much
thick weather off the coast the past few
days.
The survivors state that when the
crash came the boats were promptly
manned and the suddenly awakened
passengers were hurried into the boats
almost before they realized that an
accident had occurred. All went over
the side of the sinking craft without
injury with the exception of one
woman passenger who went down with
the steamer
There was no wind at the time, and
the pull for the shore was uneventful.
The barge Glendower was a convert
ed schooner of 855 tons gross and 1913
tons net, 1872 feet long, thirty-four feet
broad, and sixteen feet deep. She was
built at Noank, Conn, In 1894, carried
a crew of three men, and was bound
for Philadelphia loaded with coal for
an Eastern port. The Glendower APP
peared from the Arkansas to have been
uninjured.
The Arkansas formerly was owned by
the Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany. For many years she was en-
ployed in services out of New Orleans,
running from that port to Havana, and
also between New York City and New
Orleans She was an iron ship. with
twin screws, and had four bulkheads.
The Arkansas was an ocean passenger
steamer, running between New York
City and Boston She was of 1856
gross and 678 net tonnage. Her length
was PAL feet breadth thirty-fve feet,
and depth sixteen feet. She was built
at Wilmington, Del, in 1873, and care
ried crew Of thirty-six men.

Refased 20 pellver Coal.

The strike situation has assumed
peculiar aspect. The interests which
have been opposing the striking team
sters are not as united as heretofore.
The team owners would not give
definite reply as to what could be ex-
pected of them. At the Union League
Club meeting was held between rep
'resentatives of the Employers Associa-
ton and the large team owners. The
team owners declined to deliver coal
to any firm where a strike was in prog
ress, giving as reasons that their own
men would be called out and they
would be involved in the trouble, with
which they considered they had no
direct concern.
They were informed that If they
would not make deliveries their con-
tracts with the business houses,
amounting to millions Of dollars an
nualIy, would be cancelled. This did
not change their attitude, however, and
they persisted in their refusal to take
part in the strike. The railroad men
present took practically the same
stand, declaring that the fight was
something into which the railroads did
not properly enter; that they had con-
tracts with the team owners; that these
contracts were at present being full
allied to their entire satisfaction, and
they could see no reason why the rail-
roads should be dragged into the
struggle.
Officers Of the Central Supply Assoc
citation, which employs $50 teams, said
hey would make deliveries wherever
their contracts called for them, ire
spective Of strike conditions. The
Commission Team Owners and the
Lake Transportation Team Owners
Associations have taken similar stand
o the Chicago Team Owners Associa-
ion.
About 1000 new men were added to
she police force and put on strike duty
IS rapidly as they were needed
Judge c. G. Kohlsaat of the United
States Circuit Court, at the request of
he attorneys representing the seven
express companies, issued temporary
Injunction restraining all persons from
interfering with the wagons Of the PEE
titioners or the men employed upon
them.

ASKS TROOPS ON WAGONS
Strike Situation in Chicago, III,
Reaches Critical Stage.
FEDERAL HELP CALLED UPON

One Nan Killed in the Heart o. the
Business Section - One Thousand
Extra Policemen Called out-Govern-
ment Refuses Request For Soldiers at
Present.
Chicago, 1II.-Senator Thomas G.
Platt's boosted political pull was not
sufficient to induce the Treasury De
partment to order Federal military
protection for the express wagons of
the United States Express Company,
during the transfers strike here Sem
ator Plat, President of the express
company, it was said, added his per-
sonal request to that of the express
company's counsel for military protec-
ton in carrying on its private business
in the Windy City. This request was
made by telephone from New York City
to Acting Secretary Taylor. The con-
tention was that the Federal Govern
ment, under a contract with the United
States Express Company, had promised
to furnish adequate guards in times
of riot or strike for the delivery of
money from the Sub Treasury in Chi
cago. The substitution Of army
wagons, strongly guarded, for the
transfer Of this money, which had been
arranged for in Chicago during the
transfers strike, it was contended,
was violation Of the alleged contract.
The express company, it was said,
would be compelled to reIinquish the
actual possession of the Government
money, while still held responsible for
its safe transfer and delivery. Acting
Secretary Taylor replied that the
Treasury Department had received no
complaint from the Chicago Sub
Treasury, or from any Federal Offices
in Chicago, and that, in fact, it had not
been found necessary to call on the
commanding officer of the Department
of the Lakes to take charge of the
transfer Of Government money as had
been contemplated, as the strikers had
assured the safe passage of all Govern
ment business despite the strike. He
declined to grant the request.

it was asserted that France put off
Japan by fair promises in order to give
Rojestvensky time to effect junction
of his forces, and that the Russians
now have every privilege provided
they keep just outside the three-mile

The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
at Toxic said that in response to ia
pans second protest France intimated
that Rojestvensky had been ordered to
leave Honkohe
TLs Times correspondent at Toxic
reported that the Japanese chambers

measures to cease all commercial trans
actions with French citizens.
The Times. in the course Of a strong
editorial, warning France of the ex-

downe has spoken strongly to the

to overcome these defects and provide
means for closing the transmitter and
also supporting the receiver while it
is detached from the hook.
This is brought about by the use Of
a device somewhat hood-shaped, which
is secured to the receiver, and when
1t is desired to seal the transmitter
against sound the hood referred to is
placed over the mouth of the trans
mitter. and thus is afforded convent
