ADMIRAL EVANS FLEET
The Largest Gathering of Effective War Vessels Ever Assembled in the
 United States
PRACTICE WITHOUT SIGNALS

Washington, July 5.-Plans for ex-
 sive maneuvers of the North At
 tic fleet are being matured by the
 leral naval board in conjuction
 tn Rear Amiral Evans, command ling the fleet. Admiral Dewey, presi dent of the board, has sent to Admiral Evans copy of the program of the maneuvers of the French fleet in the Mediterranean. These maneuvers are under command of Vice Admiral Four nier, who not long ago visited the United States and was a guest of some of our naval officers. Before au- tumn Admiral Evans will have fleet of sixteen battleships, which will be the largest fleet of effective vessels ever assembled at one time by the United States. A new feature is to be introduced In the maneuyers this sum mer and the ships are to practice evo- lutions. without signals, in order to meet emergencies in battle when ow- ing to smoke or when signal appara. tus has been shot away, signals can no longer be given. While 1t is re- garded as some what hazardous to maneuver the big battleships without signals 1t is thought necessary to have the officers familiar with his duty in case they are engaged in act ual war at some time in the future and situation should arise necessi- tating the abandonment of signals.

ATTACKED THE OFFICER
Queer Acting Prisoner Who Ww Brought in Last Night Made sa {
 Attack On Sergeant DIaEsIy
HE WAS SENT TO BRoOKSlDE

Sergeant Blakely went home this morning with his face badly scratched up. About 10 o'clock last evening Officer Kiersted found : young man of IS named Anthony John roaming about North Main street with lighted lantern. John
 lives on Simsbury street. The o1lcer asked him what he was doing with the lantern and the young man said he was looking for an eclipse of the sun. A little conversation with him convinced the officer that the man was in need of attention and he took him to the station house. Reluctant- ly he relinquished his lantern, and his antics during the entire night were sufficient to convince anyone that the young man was at least in a delirium.
 This morning Sergeant Blakely was passing among the prisoners in the corridor when John sprang at him and tore his face in a terrible manner and before anyone could in- terfere blood was flowing freely fromt the numerous wounds.
 John was held for Brookside, when i an examination of his mental condi-i ton will take place. His pockets were filled with the greatest collec- tion of odd and peculiar things ever seen in the police station.

PREMIER sEDDON DEAD.
Steamer Returned With Dead Body
 Fatigue Caused Death.

Victoria, B. C.. July 5.-The steamer Aorangi, which arrived last night, left Sydney shortly after the steamer Owestry Grange returned with Premier Seddon of, New Zea- land dead on board. The steamers return caused great excitement. ofi- cers of the Aorangi report that the late premier's death was accelerated by over fatigue. He had not slept for two nights before embarking ow- ing to receptions and conferences be- tween Premier Deakin of Australia and was too fatigued to sleep when he embarked for New Zealand. His last public utterance touched on American interests in the South Pa cific. It was made in a speech in which he expressed regret that the Bristish colonial policy had prevented the annexation of Samoa and Ha- waii. Incidentally he gave an in- teresting account of his visit to Pres ident Mckinley regarding a proposal for joint British and American occu- patton of Hawaii. The speech was made in response to a delegation to himself and Premier Deakin from the Presbyterian church. asking that steps be taken to secure the annexa- ton of the New Hebrides. now joint protectorate of France and Great Britain. The speech. the last the dead premier made. was an as- sertion of colonial rights. He point ed out lost opportunities, telling how Samoa requested to be annexed to New Zealand and a new vessel was prepared to proceed. but the British government said 1t must not be done. Something should be done. he said. with regard to the New Hebrides. especially with regard to the digging of the Panama canal and the changes that would result in consequence in the South Pacific. He said another opportunity had also been lost in connection with the annexation of Hawaii.

DOGS ON THE RAMPAGE.
No Sooner Are They Turned Loose
 Than They Destroy Flower Beds.

The municipal beauty spot in the green doesn't look as good to-day as it did yesterday and no doubt this explains why Caretaker McEvoy wears such a careworn countenance. The dogs, although at large but few hours, have practically ruined 1t and unless a man is kept on guard there all the time there will not be as many of the flowers left as would make a decent bouquet. This afternoon an ugly looking mongrel stepped in among the flowers. sniffed about for a time, then looked contemptuously toward the office of Mayor Thoms, at the same time operating his hind legs in such way that one of the hand- somest plants in the flower bed went skyward and when the cur got tired and walked away the flower had ceased to be a thing of beauty. Just what plan, if any, will be thought out to save the parks from the dogs of the town is something on which the public has as yet received the slightest information, but many hope that the flower beds set out at con- siderable expense and which pleased everybody will be protected.

SCHOONER WAS. WRECKED
The Vessel is a Total Loss and Four Men of the Grew Went
 Down With It
CAPTAIN THE ONLY SURVIVOR

Machlas, Me, July 5.-The loss of four men and of the three masted schooner Ella G. Bells, of Rockport, Me, were reported in message sent here to-day by Captain w. A. Breen of the schooner, the only survivor. The schooner was wrecked late yesterday afternoon on Libby Island. one of the outer islands of Machias bay while bound from New Bedford, Mass, to Windsor, N. S. The dead:
 F. Brown, St John, N. B., mate.
 w. Dupcissis, steward.
 0. Johnson, seaman.
 Unknown seaman.
 Captain Breen while clinging to wreckage was thrown upon the rocks and rescued by life savers.
 Seeking shelter from heavy wind and rain storm, Captain Breen had headed Into Machias bay. He mis- judged his position and ran too near Libby's Island. The schooner struck the submerged lodges, her hull was perced and she at once began to break up. The captain and crew. fearing to launch their boat in the terrible sea- went afoat on large section of the stern of the schooner. This was thrown against the rocks on shore and all except the captain were suck cd back by the undertow and down cd. Captain Breen escaped only be- cause having been carried little far ther in shore then the others he was able to grasp one of several ropes thrown out by life savers, by which he was drawn to safety.
 The rescuers were a volunteer crew who had responded to signal given at the Cross Island life saving station when the schooner's plight was mo- ticed. the regular crew at that island being of duty during the summer. The volunteers had to row three miles from Cross Island to Libby Island and while they were doing it the Bells went to pieces. They were In time, however. to make the efforts to save the men as the sailors were driven upon the rocky shore.
 The Bells was 256 ton vessel. She was built at Rockport, Me, and was owned there.

ENGLAND LOSES CUP.
The Belgium Crew To-day Defeated
 Trinity Hall Crew.

Henley, Eng. July 5.-The crew representing the Club Nautique de Gand (Belgium) to-day defeated Trinity Hall. Cambridge, by three lengths, in the final for the Grand Challenge cup. Time 2 minutes sec onds.
 The cup thus leaves England for the first time in its history and for the next twelve months will adorn the headquarters of the Belgian Row ing club.
 Tho ease with which the Belgians beat the crack British crew was a rather rough shock to the complacen- cy of the home oarsmen and to their belief in the hitherto unshakable in- vincibility of their methods of row. ing. Apart from momentary advari- tage at the start of the race Trinity Hall was never in 1t. The Belgians showed them the way from the end of Temple Island and held the lead to the finish.
