THEY ARE SATISFIED.
Two of Fame's Crew Were Out In
Dory When Vessel Sank.

Highland Light, Mass, May Is
Joseph Walsh and David McNally, the
two members of the crew of the Bos-
ton fishing schooner Fame, which was
run down and sunk by the steamer
Boston on Cashe's bank last Tuesday
night, who at the time of the accident
were away from the schooner in their
dory, landed at Race Point about
o'clock tonight, apparently little the
worse for their experience of the past
two days. They had been unable to
get their bearings and after having
spent more than "a hours in their little
boat in the thick fog they were finally
picked up by the schooner Grace Davis,
bound from Bangor for New York The
schooner reached Race Point this even
ing and the men came ashore in their
dory, being given comfortable quarters
at the life saving station. The schoon-
err then proceeded.
Walch's home is in South Boston,
while McNally belongs in Nova Scotia.
Both men will probably leave for Bos-
ton tomorrow.

THE PlTTsBuRe TERMINAL
Has Been Costing Great Deal More
Than It Earned.

New York, May 2S.-Oficials OF the
Gould roads were in conference To-Day
concerning the affairs of the Pltts-
burg Terminal Railway Co. Interest
amounting to 100000 on the first mort
gage bonds of the road falls due on
Monday and some doubt was expressed
in financial circles whether the money
would be Forthcoming. Todays meet
ing of the Pittsburg Terminal direc-
tors was preceded by that OF the wa
bash board. No official statement was
issued after the meeting, but 1t was
announced that another meeting OF
the Pittsburg Terminal Board Wouid
be held tomorrow, when some action
regarding the interest payment on the
first mortgage bonds will probably be
taken.
In the financial district reports OF q
complete reorganization of the Pitts
burg Terminal were current and IL
was learned that a tentative re-organ-
ization committee, friendly to the con-
trolling interests had been formed.
The financial condition of the Pitts
burg Terminal Railway, which owns
a majority of the stock of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie Road and is In turn
controlled by the Wabash, is not espe-
cialIy encouraging. For the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1907, Pittsburg Termi-
nal reported deficit of about $5OO0oo
and for the nine months of the cur
rent year the earnings were $4S0,ooo
net, with fixed charges of about $9Oo,-
900.
In view of the condition of PittsburS
Terminals financies, some significance
attaches to the report from Pittsburg
that officials of the Grand Trunk Rail
way and the Buffalo, Rochester d
Pittsburg Roads have been making an
inspection tour of the Wabash
Pittsburg Terminal systems.

Evening Program.

There was not 50 large an attendance

sepn Roy. Both were by Nelson. TWO
handsome blacks were driven by their
owner, G. ii. Gardner. A. II. Stevens
had a pair of bay geldings which at
tracted a good deal of attention. They

TORPEDO VS.. MONITOR
Will Be Next Destructive Test on the
Poor Old Florida.

Washington, May 2S.-The next of
the destructive tests to be made upon
the monitor Florida is fixed for June
10. On that date the Florida will be
brought from the Norfolk navy yard to
a suitable spot in Hampton Roads
where the depth of water probably will
not exceed 20 or 35 feet and will there
be attacked by an American White
head torpedo, which will be directed
against a spot in the hull about six or
eight feet below the waterline. inside
of which will be located a special form
of bulkhead which probably will be
filled with water. The torpedo will
carry a bursting charge of 200 pounds
of gun cotton and is expected to sink
the Florida at the first attempt. The
vessel will easily be raised, owing to
the shallow depth of water.

King Edwards phrase, permanent en-
tente.
.The enthusiastic welcome given to the
President of the French republic proves
that the entente cordiale has definitely
entered into the policies of the two coun-
tries as one of the fundamental bases
thereof. Not only is it considered by the
two peopla and by both governments as
responding to a necessity and as a logical
development of the history of England
and France, but it is popular on both
Sides Of the channel
.'The English and French feel lnstlnc-
lively that this is one of the surest means
of counteracting all combinations that
might interfere with the interests OF
Great Britain and France and threaten
the peace which both wish to have MAIN
tanned because it is the first and fore
most of their IDEAS"
The banquet given at the French en-
bassy tonight by M. Cambon to President
Falieres and King Edward was quite a
