Newport. r. T., Dec. 4.-The United
States cruiser Yankee, which has been
aground on Hen and Chickens shoals
in Buzzard's bay for the last 10 weeks,
has been iioated successfully and has
started for New Bedford In tow, ac-
cording to wireless message received
at the naval station here tonight from
her commander Charles M. Marsh. The
Yankee will undergo minor repairs at
New Bedford, after which it Is planned
that she shall proceed under her own
steam to the New York navy yard for
a complete overhauling.
The floating of the Yankee Is regard
ed by naval officers here as distinct
triumph for the new compressed air
wrecking methods which have been
pursued under the direction Of John
Arbuckle of New York, who tackled
the job of raising the vessel after the
navy department had practically given
it up.
The Yankee was on her way from
Cuttyhunk to Newport for coal when
she ran on the shoal early in the morn
ing of Sept %, during a dense fog.
Under the direction OF Naval Con-
constructor Washington L. Capps. eff
forts were made to raise the vessel and
she was lightered OF everything nova

FIRE LOSS
Will REACH $4,000.
Beside the Three Grand Trunk Docks
Destroyed, Steamer Cornishman Is
Later Badly Damaged.

Portland. Me-, Dec. 4.-After the
fremen had brought under complete
control the fire which DESTROYED two
of the eight docks of the Grand Trunk
Railway here early today, the flames
which had communicated to the Do
lhlnlon Line steamer Cornishman
alongside, broke out with renewed
vigor. and before they were subdued
they caused a damage estimated at
about 100000 to the vessel and her
cargo.
Officials Of the Grand Trunk Co. af
ter a careful examination, stated that
the loss on the docks, together with the
cortents of the burned sheds would
reach at least $250,00O and perhaps
$500.0Do making the total loss caused
by the fire approximately half Il million
dollars.
Thc fire on board the Cornishlnan
Was almost entirely confined to the No.
and No. 8 holds, in which practically
all the cargo was ruined. Tonight the
fire was still smoulderlng. but was
thought to be thoroughly under con-
trol. 1t probably will be several days,
however, before the holds can be ex-
amincd and the damage to the vessel
determined.
The Cnrnishmah was to have sailed
fur Liverpool tomorrow and was about
three-nuarters loaded with grain, pro-
visions, lumber, paper and general
merchandise. Four tugs and a fire boat

his attitude during the transitory pc

presented a letter from President
Roosevelt. The letter was interpreted
in various ways by the auditors and
DR.. Abbott was often interrupted by
anplause and by shouts of disapproval.
A score or mere of the suffragists
united in denunciation of the conserv-
atism which marked the Presidents
letter. The shouts of the sufragist
leaders became so troublesome that a
few policemen were asked TO seek out
the offenders. They were threatehed
with ejectment, and finally the disturb
ance was Quoted.
At tho conclusion of the lecture, how
ever the suffragists withdrew to the
