THE CARS YACHT.

Al the time the yacht STANDARD ran on
the rocks near Hangoe, Finland, En-
peror Nicholas and his family were at
dinner in the dining saloon. The Stan
dart was making Is knots an hour, and
when she struck the reef all the table
ware crashed to the floor and the lights
went out. The children began crying
but neither the emperor nor empress
showed any excitement. They remain
ed calm and quieted the children. His
majesty did not leave the ship until
he was driven away by the inrushing
water.
The STANDARD is still on the reef. Her
bottom is badly torn forward, and amid
ships there is a rent AZ feet long. The
luxurious saloons, the imperial suite and
the edgine-room ale flooded.
NJ. Blomquist, the chief pilot of the
Hango district, was plotting the STANDARD
wheu she ran on an uncharted rock in
the middle of the passage off Horsoe, on
the west coast.
Though it hiss been suggested that the
accident 20 the STANDARD was due TO
members of her crew, who purpOsely ran
her on the rocks, il is claimed in naval
circles that the disaster was due to the
narrowness of the channel between the
islands of the Finnish archipelago near
HangOe.

TRAIN ROBBERY.

General Manager Elliott, Of the Great
Northern Express Company, announced
Yesterday that the Great Northern
Oriental limited train No. |, which left
St. Paul Tuesday morning, WIS held up
by two masked men six or seven miles
west of Rsxford, Mont, at an early
hour yesterday morning. The robbers
crawled over the tender and at the point
of their guns commanded the engineer
to stop the train. They then ordered
the engineer to 60 back with them to the
express train, and instructed him to
tell the express messenger, mail clerk
and baggagemen to go back into the
coaches.
While this was being done the robbers
kept up a continual fusillade with their
guns to ;errify the passengers and keep
them within the coaches.
After the messenger, bsggsgeman and
mail clerk had left their cars the robbers
went drought the mail cars and robbed
the sacks OF a large quantity Unregistered
mail. Then they went into an express
car, which carried an overflow of mail,
baggage and express and which contain
ed regular through safe.
After exploding three charges, the
safe was opened and found to be empty.
The robbers did not enter the regular
express car in which the messenger had
been riding.
On finding the safe empty the high
waymen helped themselves to the reg
istered mail and after firing parting
volley disappeared.

New York, Sept. 13.-Today's in-
quest into the suicide of John E. from
mer, the 26 year old head of the Ever
green Brewing Company, Of Williams
burg, may reveal the name OF the young
woman FOR whom the young millionaire
is believed to have taken his life.
Trommer's relatives expressed deter
mination last night to keep the girls
nsme from the case but the coroner is
said to believe the full knowledge Of the
suicide through investigation should be
made.
The story is that Trommer had loved
the young woman from childhood, be-
came engaged to her and was finally
compelled to consent TO the breaking OF
the engagement because the girls mother
believed he was attentive TO other women.
Locking himself in his bone on Lin
den avenue last night he turned on the
gas and plunged carving knife twice
into his breast just above the heart. His
family was away from home and he died
alone. The body was not found until
10 o'clock when a servant returned to
the house after an afternoon and even

In the meantime preparations for sending

Although it is officially termed ''prac-
tice cruise" and the statement Is made
that the presence Of the ship in the
Pacific ocean will be only temporary,
the government is taking no chances.

THAT John d. Rockefeller will be re-
born An angel without any memory OF
trusts or dividends, is the prediction OF
Annie Besaut, presidsnto of the TbeosoPhi-
cal society of the world, who is certain
that when the oil king comes 10 earth the
next time he will be as perfect as it is
possible for man to be. She says;
Mr.. Rockefeller has gone through life
uuscrupulously. He has wrecked for
tunes to make his own greater. de
has made widows and orphans PauPeIs'
He is cursed because he has worked for
self. But there is another way to LOOK
at a man of that character. DE has
developed an enormous mind. de mas
a wonderful power of mind and will
have great power over his OWL body
To accomplish the thing he has done he
must 20 through great labor and fatigue.
If death was the end he would indeed
be an ugly product. But when the Dody
dies the mind lives Cd. bis mind
will keep on reasoning, and, after the
physical man is dead, he will realize
What he really has done. He will hnd
be did not use The methods which would
make mankind happy Aud 90 when
his mind comes back reincarDased II VIII
be with all of the good and with none
of the evil OF his past incarnation.
Unfortunately the oil king is to ap-
pear to another generation, and after the
one with whom he has played such
havoc shall have passed away. He will
therefore make to it no restitution. The
"prOphetess' is silent as to the future
experience of the victims Of the corpora
ton MIR. Rockefeller represents. Are
they to have no reward for their patience
snd long suffering?

Lusitania Fails to Break Record.
Sandy Hook, Sept. l3.-The Lusi-
tania spoke us at a. M, five minutes
after having passed Fire Island.
She crossed the bar at 9:O5 and left
quarantine at 1923 and reached New
York shortly before noon. The Lusitania
was greeted by hundreds OF Whales and
great ctosd had assembled at the
GUARD and neighboriDg piers.
The Lusitania's masts we're dressed in
code fisgs and the naval reserve flag flew
from the stern. The ship brought no
cargo and it is said will carry none.
While official figures are as get lsckiug
it is positive the Lusitania beat the
Ounarder Lucsnia's time from Queens
town to New York four hours and Is
minutes, covering the distance in i've
DAYS, two hours and FIVE minutes.
The Hamburg Liner Deutschland
still retains its record, however. An
exact comparison is impossible, the
starting point of the two voyages being
different, but it is estimated that the
Deutschland covered the same distance
as the Lusitania in five days one hour
and thrty.fiye minutes.
The Deutschlsnd's best days run was
Col knots; the LusitaniS's 59l.
The Lusitania was frequently delayed
BY fog, however, and made up for these
delays by tremendous bursts of speed
when the weather was fair,
While the Hamburg American Liner
Deutschland stills holds the high aver
age of 49, knots hourly, however, as
compared with the LusitaDia's 22.87,
the latter beat the Lucanis's Queens
town time by FIVE hours and fifty MIMI
les.
London, Sept. 1S.-All England is
disappointed. Every one here had
counted on the Lusitania breaking all
transatlantic records and wrestling the
blue ribbon OF the seas from Germany.
Consolation is being found for the
Lustania's failure to wrest the honor
from the Deutschland in the fact that
the Cunarder was not pressed to her
limit. 1t is believed che will show
startling increase in speed in future
voyages.
The Lusitania is 100 feet long, SS
feet breadth, sixty feet moulded depth,
has gross tonnage of $4,000 tons and
displacement of $4,000 tons. Her
load draught is 81 feet six inches, her
tunnels, with diameter Of "a feet, arc
155 feet high. Nearly three years, were
required to build her. She was launched
June 7 of last year at the John Brown
shipyard, Clyde Bank, Scotland. The
Lusitania bias nine decks and is fitted
out with 175 water-tight compartments.
Some $4,000 steel plates were used in
her construction and TO fasten them in
place 1000, 900 rivets were driven in
place. She carries three anchors, each
weighing ten tons, and every link of the
three anchor chains weighs $50 pounds.
Every effort of the builders has been
made to make the Lusitania as little like
vessel as possible. The term floating hotel
seems most appropriate. Accommoda-
tons are provided for $50 first class and
600 second class and 1900 third class
passengers A crew of more than 800 is
carried. On her trial trip the Lusitania
consumed an average of 45 tons of coal
an hour, rate which would require
about $500 tons for a transatlantic
voyage.
