New York, May 9.-The steamship
Baltic. Of the Wmte Star Line, sailed
past Sunday Hook AZ $50 yesterday aft
ernoon and the Western Union marine
observers at Sandy Hook gave the ship
a special salutation at the request OF
friends Of Andrew Carnegie. who was
sailing for Scotland with his wife and
daughter
The American flag was dipped from the
high hagpoie at the Hook. and the letters
IT. d. l.. meaning Wish you a pleas
ant voyage" were displayed In honor OF
AIr. Carnegie.
The Baltic replied by dipping her blue
ensign Of the British naval reserve. The
big ship then headed for the open sea,
and going through the main channel. she
ran bang into d thick fog. Soon the
steamship was lost from sight. and moth
ing was heard Of her but her lusty whis-
tie. That whistle was stin heard at an
early hour this morning.
Anchored, Peer Men say.
Just what delayed the ship is moi
known, At the White Star pier an at
tempt was made TO give the impression
that the Baltic had merely anchored on
account Of the fog. From wireless mes
sages that came ashore from passengers
liz was inferred that the ship had gone
aground in the main channel
john Lee. the agent of the line. said
that his information was that the Baltic
was aground. and aground at high tide
at that. This. if true viii make matters
serious for the big steamship. she went
ont light, having but a small cargo on
account of the longshOremens' strike.
That something more serious than be-
ing anchored in a fog is delaying the Bal
tic is evidenced by the fact that a num-
Der OF tugs were dispatched TO the scene.
Carries Hundreds of Passengers.
The Baltic carries about 80 first cabin
passengers, aud her list in the second
cabin and steerage is very large i was
said at the pier that there were more than
go passengers in the steerage. The crew
OF the ship numbers over 400
Mr.. Carnegie had not sent f1v dis
patches ashore as far as could be learned
When his butler was informed that the
iroHmaster and peace promoter was de-
layed. he said, We'll. Mr.. Carnegie Will
certainly not attempt TO leave the shin
tonight with the baby"
Henry II. Rogers of the STANDARD OH
Company, is also aboard the Baltic His
son. Henry H.. jr., laughed heartily when
he learned Of his fathers predicament
He had not received any wireless mes
sages from his father however.
The gale continues. preventing the tugs
from reaching the wreck. Many of the
tugs have been compelled to seek refuge.
Nevertheless, the efforts at rescue con
tinue without abatement. Passengers are

The Importance
.. of Sheep and Poultry

Prof Patterson, director of the Mary
land Experimental Station, is taking a
deep interest in the extension of the
poultry and sheep raising in dustry in this
State. He has given the subject much
thought and is of the firm opinion that
these important branches will not expand
until aided by legislation which will eft
fectually put stop to the destruction
wrought by worthless dogs.
"The sheep and poultry industry OF
Maryland will never develop as it should
until we have some law which will put a
restraint upon the dogs which are
allowed to run promiscuously over the
country" said Director Patterson
again, this same class of dogs is rapidly
depicting the game in this State, and will
soon cause it's entire destruction unless
means Of control are adopted.
"Maryland's natural conditions and
location are peculiarly advantageous
for the sheep industry, and especially so
for the raising Of early and dollhouse
lambs. Even though the possible profits
are exceptionally large, farmers hesitate
to engage in sheep-raising as long as they
are subject to such hazardous conditions
by being surrounded on every side by
worthless dogs running wild.
The leaders in agriculture recognize
these facts and all agree that some re-
lief is needed, although some feel that
it is impossible to get Legislature to
pass an adequate measure. The opposi-
ton to such law can be easily overcome
if every organization and every we'll
thinking farmer individually will support
a good, thorough law, and take extra
pains to allow their represents tives in the
Legislature to know their sentiments
All the legislators want to know is That
their actions will be backed by the best
and leading people of the State.
"All Of the states where sheep and live
stock industries are prosperous have
good, strong laws protecting them from
dogs. The people of these states have
given their legislators the support and
backing necessary to cause the enactment
CT the proper measure. By the proper
cooperation and effort we can do the
same in Maryland, and it is hoped that
the right step will be taken to insure some
such results from the Mary land Legisla-
ture in 1908"
