MARBLEHEAD. Mass, March 21.-
Small fragments of the BoofhbaY NIc.i

Strewn along the outside of Marble

1t is thought all on board were lost, as
with the broken pieces of the vessel
were the bodies of two of her crew.
The crew is supposed to have num-
bered five men.
The vessel was so completely smash
ed up that it was some hours after the
vreckage had been discovered that her
identity was learned. The bodies were
found high upon the beach.
From the description of wreckage
along the neck it was thought that the
Lady Antrim struck either on Tom

heavier portions of the vessel We're
found inside of Tinker's island, flung

%SEvASTOPOL BURNING 4?
Russia Stirred by Execution of
Black Sea Mutineers.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 21.-Most
sensational reports are current here
that the execution of former Lieuten-
ant Schmidt, which has made Il deep
impression throughout Russia, has
been followed 10y an extensive mutiny
of sailors at Sevastopol, the massacre
of their officers and the fortress firing
upon the city.
The reports say that the sailors, in
furiated by the refusal of Emperor
Nicholas to pardon Lieutenant Schmidt
and their fellow sailors, rose in their
barracks and seized and imprisoned
the majority of their officers and that
the city of S%evastopol is almost entire
ly in flames.
The boys of the st. Petersburg gym
uasium have struck in order to compel
the Offering up Of prayers in school for
the repose Of the souls of Lieutenant
Schmidt and the sailors shot with him.
The Russ prints a detailed account
of the execution.
The condemned men were taken to
the small deserted island of BOrizan
and shot at sunrise. Schmidt address
ed his eXecutioners, sixty sailors OF the
cruiser Teretz, saying:
Il die for the Russian people end the
fatherland. and many of you doubtless
will hereafter share my death for the
same cause"
Schmidt refused TO accept the Sacra
ment and asked not TO be blindfolded.
He met his death head up and eyes
open. The firing party was stationed
al IA distance of fifty PAGES. Two of
the sailors were killed at the first vol
ley and one more at the third. Schmidt
did not fall until the fourth volley.
General Kuropatkin's last order OF
the day to the Ma%nchurian army is a
remarkable exposure of the causes of
the Russian defeats, showing that they
We're due to lack Of preparation and
equipment and TO the fact that. as an
instance. there were no explosive shells
for the artillery. etc. at an important
crisis. He points out that the causes of
the defeats We're deeper-namely, the
morale of the troops and of the officers,
who did not display initiative. indie

iron nerves and heroic spirits of the
soldiers.

10 modify the latter feature by max
ing it applicable only to d second Of
Tense, and then 10 make the time lin
it during which a saloon should not
be licensed again four months instead
Of a year. A further concession was
made to the antagonistic end by fix
ing the age limit at which liquor
might be sold at eighteen instead of
twenty-one years, and the latter pro-
viso was embodied in the original
bill instead of in a separate measure
classed as an amendment 20 the
crimes act. The penalty for viola
tons, it was also suggested, should
be made that prescribed for keeping
a d~isorderly house instead of d misde-
meanor. The removal Of screens or
other devices to prevent a view of the
interior was retained, but with a pro-
viso that the restriction would not be
operative until provided for by NUM-
tipal action.
As an offset for these concessions
il was practically agreed that the
number of saloons in any municipal
ity should not exceed one for every
