STEAMSHIP CARONA
ASHORE OFF SANDY HOOK
DIV Associated Press. ]


NEW YORK, May 16-A large steam
ship, believed TO be the Cunard liner
Caronia. which sailed this afternoon for
Liverpool, is aground off Sandy Hook,
She lies on the north edge OF the main
ship channel directly opposite the Sandy
Hook observation tower. and IS resting
easily, The fog prevents a positive iden-
tiflcation of the ship, but there is little
sea running. and she Is In no danger.
The vessel must have grounded about
4:S0 p. NJ, as the observer at Sandy
Hook heard a large steamship blowing
while going past the hook In the fog at
that time. The vessel has apparently
touched her bow on Flynns Knoll, the
shoal Just north Of the hook. The Caronia
passed out quarantine at T. M. to-day
The next high tide Mt Sandy Hook will
ha at 6:1O A. M Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 16-secre-
tary Taft's public announcement that the
Isthnnian Canal Commission will purchase
material for the construction Of the water
way In the lowest market without
preference for American goods ard with
out restriction as to American bottoms,
has raised the biggest kind OF a row in
the Republican party. 1T begins In
President Roosevelts Cabinet itself.
At least one Important member Of the
Cabinet is known to have expressed the
greatest astonishment that this policy
should have been adopted and announced.
without first submitting It to all OF the
Presidents advisers. l58 "A ia
It IS pointed out by the .stand pat
ters,' who are mad through and through,
that the President, in directing this an
nouncement, has involved, on his own
Judgment and that Of only one OF his
Cabinet ministers. the entire protective
policy of the Republican party. and
practically announced to the world that
1t is failure in 50 far as It raises prices
to home consumers.
Secretary Shaw is known to regard the
announcement OF this policy as an as
sault on the policy Of protection, and that
in the house OF its friends. Senator Bur-
rows, one Of the high protectionists OF
the West, is also very much concerned
at the announcement
Representative John Dalzell. OF Penn
sylvania, the thigh priest OF protection,
is also astounded at the situation as de-
veloped, and Representative Grosvenor
the "wct. nurse Of the stand patters.
can hardly contain himself.
Had the question been submitted at
ca binet meeting, it Is known that Secre-
taries Shaw and Wilson would have
strenuously opposed the announcement OF
any such policy.
It is also thought that General Moody
and Secretary Hitchcock would have ad-
yised against it, The Presidents sup
porters would have been Secretaries Taft
and Morton and Postmaster General Cor
telyou.
The most important argument put for
ward by the administration advocates OF
the action is that the minority party
would have had ample ground for criti-
cis1ni and cries Of scandal and fraud II
the Isthmian Canal Commission had not
bought the material necessary for con-
structon in the cheapest market
Incidentally, the announcement IS ike
ly to bring flood of protests from
American manufacturers, who have con-
tributed literally to the Republican cam
paign fund. !.
5The reyisionist view of the situation Is
that the high protectionists have brought
this on themselves, and that the admins
tration points out very plainly to the
plain people the futlity of a high tariff
wall.

The above circular letter. which has
been sent to each OF the banks and

that the Richmond Clearinghouse Asso-

their dependencies must either close at
midday on Saturdays or leave the asso-

There are several banks that are not

clear through large banks that are
members. The rule applies to them as
we'll as to members.
Colonel William H. Palmer, president

These gentlemen will report and nothing

acted upon by the clearinghouse. Nothing
will be done until May 25th,*and probably
the time will be even later.
Mr.. Elicit, president of the State Bank

There are other considerations which
might be urged. most gracious sire. 1t
Is true that the Crusades were . holy

immediate blessing Of God: but the
Crusaders it certain that they deserved
such blessing! Have not heard that
their camp was the most dissolute ever
oecn."
Camps are camps an the world over.

Louis was a crusader after your own heart.
Yet his men perished at Mansurah and he

but the antechamber Of the next" said
the prelate. by suffering and tribu-
lation the soul is cleansed. and the true
victor may he he who by the patient
endurance of misfortune merits the happi-
ness to come"
If that be the true meaning Of the
Church's blessing, then I hope that it

methinks that when one is out with a

Straightway the conversation came

the bird on passage was the prelude Of an
good sport. The object to which the
Prince had pointed was but black dot

had not deceived him. and both Bishop
and King agreed that it was indeed a

hawk from the heron. 4 rook is hard

To Deal With Obstinacv


An obstinate child needs switching
off, rather than switching on He
needs to be directed rather than sub
dued Obstinacy is the miscarriage
of energy. 1t is an unnatural att-
tude of the mind. 1t is a setting of
the breaks by some disorder of the
machinery. A wise engineer ceases
all efforts to start his train until the
disarrangement can be adjusted. 1t
is usually little thing, slight mis-
carriage of energy, and he bides his
time. The power must be off before
the natural condition can exist. So a
wise teacher Immediately changes
plans when he finds that boys men
tai machinery is out of natural, that
the breaks are set in his disposition.
