15l WERE DROWNED
By Sinking of Steamship Ia rache Which Was an old
 Tub-ei Rescued.

Corunna, Spain, June 25.-Latest reports show that 151 persons are missing as result of the sinking of the steamship Larache. The rescued number 61. The captain sank with his ship.
 Most of the passengers on the Larache were residents of the Ar genuine Republic. The Laraehe was little more than an old tub and she proved a veritable death trap when she struck on the rocks near Muros. She sank in few minutes leaving the passengers and crew struggling and screaming in the water. The small boats on the Larache were either smashed or capsized. There was fleet of fishing boats in the neighborhood and these rushed 10 the rescue but the heavy fog pre- vailing seriously interfered with their work.
 The fishermen succeeded in res cuing 61 persons. In addition to the captain, the ships doctor and the first officer were drowned. The disaster occurred at o'clock in the morning and most of those who were saved are without clothing. It has been ascertained that the number of passengers and crew of the Larache totalled 150. Sixty-five persons are known to have been saved but the fate of the other eighty-five is not known and it is feared that most of them perished.

HIDDEN IN OLD TABLE.
Problem California Woman Left for
 Public Administrator.

Cunningly hidden in secret re- ceptacle deftly carved in the leg of an antique table, the fortune of the late Mrs Jessie Fremont Detsch of San Francisco, relative of the noted pathfinder, General John C. Fremont was found recently by the deputy public administrator. w. J. Hynes The neatly fastened little bundle gave up bank book showing deposits of s4,200, costly collection of time honored jewelry and countless shares in wildcat concerns worth their waste paper value.
 The discovery of the effects of the cratic woman of historic lineage ends search that Hynes and his men pur. sued for several days with great earn estness. When Mrs Dietsch died, on April 2S, alone and in seclusion, her effects were taken charge of by the public administrator in the absence of any near relatives. The officers were informed that the old woman was possessed of great wealth and the stories came from. such reliable sources that it was deemed advisable to make complete search of the premises.
 With this end in view Hynes and his assistants strained every effort to locate the hidden treasure. Every article in the house was overturned and thoroughly searched without avail. Even the carpets and tapes tries were ripped open in the hope that they would yield some of the glittering gold which the aged recluse was supposed to possess.
 Just as Hynes was about to aban- don the search he aecidently knocked of the hollow leg of an adjacent table. In cleverly contrived cache the public administrator spied an old wallet. Opening the bag, Hynes dis. covered that it contained the bank book, jewels and stock certificates.

 After passing half mile both crews struck little rough water, but the oar work was so good that there was very little splashing. The pace slackened between the half mile and mile and Yale pulled up nearly on even terms. Just before reaching the mile Yale spurted and obtained slight advantage. The race, how ever, at this point was a pretty one. At the mile Harvard had lead by half length. Passing between the flags in 4:33, Yale about two sec onds later. After passing the mile mark the crews rowed on even terms, both hitting up iong, steady stroke. Half way between the mile and the hile and a half flags the crews were about on even terms. Harvard now slightly in the lead.
 Both crews rowing in splendid form. Passing the mile and a half mark, Harvard led by length. Time at the mile and half, Harvard TIA. After passing the mile and half mark Harvard hit up a faster stroke and forged ahead slightly. The form of the Yale crew fell off somewhat and on the last half mile several of the oars splashed.

 Harvard won by length and a half.

SPLITS COWBOYS HEAD.
Policeman John H. Moore Charged
 On at Yale Field.

New Haven, June 25.-A bull fight was not down on the pro- gramme as one of the regular fea- lures at Yale field Tuesday after noon, but it turned out to be the most striking event of the day, though only witnessed by a small portion of the spectators, and the grad" who impersonated the "bull'' will have good reason to remember his experience.
 The paraders had marched onto the field, after entering between the grand stand and the bleachers, with Secretary Taft's '78 class at the head of the procession. The cowboy class of 1898 wanted to give realistic scene, when one of the policemen was discovered doing duty near third base and so the bull" was ordered to charge" on the cop.
 With head down the 'bull" made his charge on Patrolman John H. Moore, 2nd, of the Grand avenue sta- tion, and the latter was puck to re- sent what he considered an insult to the force. He had his club drawn ready for duty, and as soon as the bull" came at him the policeman struck him over the head and the 'bulP' went down with d Llud. s,
 The blow was savage one, for it split the cowboys head and he had to be carried of the field. He was taken into the city and Il doctor had to put five stitches in the wound.

FELL FROM CAR.
Conductor Spooner of Highland Ave.
 nue Was Shaken Up.

Harry Spooner of Highland avenue, a conductor on the Cheshire trolley and sub-letter carrier, fell from his car on the last run last night, but fortunately escaped serious injuries. It was after midnight and the car was sweeping through the rock cut at Summit station when the passen- gers noticed the conductor fall from the car. They shouted to the motor man, but thinking somebody wanted to get off he started to make the next white post before stopping. When he learned what was up, he reversed the current and went back and found the conductor standing beside the track in daZed condition. He was placed on the car and brought into town. When they reached here he had come to so that it was considered all right to send him home. He was shaken up some but not seriously in- jured. He is not working to-day and probably will not do anything for some time.

MUST REPORT EXPENSES.
State Law Requires Filing of State
 ments by Delegates.

Hartford, June 25.-The corrupt practices act prescribes: Every del- egate to a nominating convention shall, within fifteen days after such convention, file with the town clerk of the town in which he resides an itemized sworn statement of the ex- penses incurred by him or or on his account in connection with such con- vention and in connection with his appointment as delegate thereto" etc. The statements must be filed within fifteen days and there is a penalty of $10 day for neglect beyond that date.
 The delegates to the recent repub- lican national convention at Chicago come under this law and the secre- tary of state has sent out blanks for each of them to fill out and return to his own clerk. The question of in- terest is what return to make. The Expenses incurred on account of the convention" must logically include going to and from it. A delegate yesterday consulted Attorney Gener- al Holcomb as to the way in which to fill out a blank, when there had been no political expenditure whatever. It has been published that each member of the travelling party sent a check for $200 to MT Bodenwein, who was treasurer of the party. This was to cover the cost of the special train, meals en route and the charge for rooms at the Auditorium Annex. Judge Holcomb advised the following form for a return:
 Name of person-Theodore Boden- vein. treasurer.
 Purpose for which received or ex- pended-to cover car fares, meals en route, and rooms in hotel, from which there will doubtless be a re- bate when the bills are adjusted.
 Amount received-Nothing.
 Amount expended-$200.
 Note-Aside from the foregoing my expenses consisted of meals while in Chicago and other expenses which were purely personal and which did not pertain to the convention.
 This statement will cover the sit- uation unless there were expenses of a different nature. The blanks will be sent to alternates as we'll as dele gates, as they also must make re- turns.
