IE referring to many unique features
of the Exposition. the secretary said
that there had been at the outset some
adverse criticism. but he predicted that
in the end the Exposition would prove
of great national and international
worth. He expressed the belief chat
the country is realizing that we can

orr occasional Setbacks and quite re-
Gently we have hal some rather sharp
reminders that wrong doing and i'm
providence and imitation have an incy-
liable result, disaster in greater or
lesser dc gree. While there are some
disquieting features N the business
world the outlook is growing steadily
brighter and if We but keep our heads
ana approach our state and national
problems with courage and common
sense. We shall have in the future q,
prosperity not only material but NOR
AL greater even than that which has
made memorable our past"

at n moderate rate on her return trip
from this city to Flock Island with
about 100 eXcursioniStS the steamer
City of Lawrence in a heavy fog ran
high on Block rock, a small island
about an eighth of Il mile off Eastern
point shortly before noon today and
stove a big hole in her bow. Water
po,,red Ill and the hull of the vessel
filled, but her position on the rock was
such that she could not sink and the
tugs were put to work on her in the
hope OF getting her off the rocks. The
I CITY of Lawrence recently took the
place of the Block Island in making
daily trips between this place and
Block Island AMI today carried 100
excursonists, big party coming from

there was no snmblancc OF panic. the
officers of the boat assuring them that
they wore safe. Word was sent to
New London for assistance lint it was
. several hours before tugs reached the
scene, most of the tugs of the two local
shipping companies being otherwise
engaged. After Il short wait the pas
sengers we're taken in the steamers
boat to Eastern point and there was
no difficulty in removing them as the
, water at the time was smooth. Cap
tain Phelps remained on the steamer
with his crew and this afternoon d.
rected the work Of saving the steamer.
