THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
Where the Ill-Fated Vessel Rests Again After Having Just Been Removed From the Rock-There is Hope of Raising it.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 5.-The lcruiser Yankee, which had been raised after going on Spindle Rock, sunk at the entrance of the harbor while being lowed to this port. The cause of the laccident, a continuation of a series of Imisfortunes, which had befallen the Yankee, was an unusually heavy sea kicked up by a high northwest gale. The Yankee, in the tow of the tugs John Harlan and Powhattan and con lvoyed by the naval col.ier. Lebanon, was proceeding slowly from Spindle
 Rock to this port
 In the gale and heavy seas the haw- sers parted for the tenth time and the tug John Harlan was trying to con meet another tow line when she was lifted on a wave and slammed against
 the side of the cruiser. The impact smashed in a port compartment where
 three air compressOrs were at work. The water which poured through the open port disabled the air pump, after which the compartment filled rapidly.
 The cruiser did not sink at once. Captain J. T. McAllister who was in
 charge of the marine engines of the
 wrecking work, in view of the danger
 warned the members of the wricking crew to leave the ship. All but six of
 the ninety-two men left the Yankee and. she was then straigfE ened as well as the wreckers could do it and an att tempt was made to drag her to Peniks island and beach her. This plan seem
 ed likely to succeed, when not far from the island. the cruiser reeled suddenly land sank in forty-two feet of water.
 Commander Marsh, of the Yankee, Captain McAllister. Engineer Wether- spoon and six men of the wrecking
 crew who were on board ran up the
 rigging and later jumped safely on
 board the Powhattan. The Yankee went down in a speltered position and
 took bottom on an even keel. resting on
 the sand Her forward deck, spars and
 the top of her tunnels are above the
 surface of the water.

END OF THE CONVENTION
A Message From Mir. Taft Commenting Aim of the Congress--In Absence of Any Action Headquarters Will Remain at Denver.

Pittsburg, Doc. 5.-Nhen the fourth and last days session of the eleventh
 annual convention of the American Mining Congress opened here today it was apparent that the unfinished business would be cleaned up by this afternoon, and the meeting, which is pronounced the most successful in the life of the organization, would ad- journ.
 A telegram from President elect Taft was read before the convention message: "I am glad of the oppOr- tunity to express my interest in the important work which the American Mining Congress is doing in behalf of the mining industry and I desire to encourage and cooperate in this work in every possible way.
 The mining industry of this coun- try, which is second only to agri- culture in its contribution to national | wealth, which furnishes more than 66 per cent of the total freight traf- | fife of the country, and employees more lsthan a million men in its difficult and dangerous tasks. deserves all the assistance which this government can render it.
 No coRntry is so rich in those re- sources which make foi great and permanent wealth as is the United States, but this condition of affairs has helped to develop the national habit of waste in the use of our for ests, our oils, minerals and other re- sources. Fortunately, however, the public conscience of the country is awakening to both the loss of life and the waste of materials in all of our industries, and we must see to it that the movement is guided wisely and carried forward to success"
 The report of the committees on mineral conditions in Utah, Virginia. Arkansas, Missouri and Colorado and on resolutions were among the inn portant matters considered at the morning session.
 That the average mine explosion is not a mystery is the opinion of fifty mine operators. including the chief mine inspectors of Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Ohio. Illinois and sev- eral other coal mining states. who presented the following address to the convention: The state mine in spectors present at this meeting de- sire to assert their belief that the causes of mine disasters are for the most part known and that it will be possible by the united effort of all persons interested to greatly re duce the liabilities of explosions. It would be a grave error to allow the statement made in this congress. that the general causes of these disasters are unknown, to go unrebuked. There is no hidden mystery in these hap penings as some of the addresses
Arizona republican., 1908-12-06

heard at the convention would lead the average listener to believe. At the recent explosions, with the ex- ception of the last at Mariana, the causes have been speedily ascertained and remedial measures recommended q
 The national headquarters of the American Mining Congress will be retained at Denver as no action was taken on the question of removal at today's session.
 The convention adjourned at noon but the election of officers and other routine business was transacted af an afternoon meeting at the Colonial Annex hotel. The officers elected were: J. H. Richards of Boise, Idaho, president; Dr. E. R. Buckley of Flat River, Mo, first vice president; John Dern of Salt Lake, Utah, second vice president; w. F. R. Mills of Denver third vice president; J. F. Gallbraith of Denver, secretary.
 The directors elected are: F. G. Bromley of Denver, H. >F'ister Bain of Urbana, Ill, and Samuel A. Fay Tor of Pittsburg.

A MOB OF THE LATTER
Nearly Broke Up a Suffrage Meeting In London Ad- dressed by Chancellor of Exchequer Who Was Try ing to Make a Promise.

London, Dec. 5.-The Gulf between the suffragists and suffragettes. the latter being the term generally used to describe the militant women agitators 'whO believe in street riots and attacks on cabinet ministers as the quickest means attaining the ballot for their sex was further widened this afternoon through a fierce demonstration by the suffragettes at Albert Hall against David Llody- George, chancellor of the exchequer.
 The chancellor was addressing a sui frage meeting under the auspices of the women's liberal association. He had hardly got beyond announcing that he was present to make known the governments intention regarding the problem of woman suffrage when a great uprOar broke out Strident voices from all parts of the hall shrieked We want deeds, not words"
 There were fierce tussles every few minutes in different parts of the hall and every time Lloyd George made an attempt to speak his voice drowned by mingled groans and cheers. Finally the chancellor sat down and the organist tried to soothe the sisterhood by play
 ing What can the matter bee" but the pandemonium continued.
 The uproar as at it's height when a dozen suffragettes who had been re leased recently from prison divested themselves of their outer wraps and appeared in their jail garments. The exhibition acted on the sisterhoOd like red rag on bull. Megaphones and bells were brought into use and the noise became deafening.
 The stewards lost their tempers and as they continued the work of throwing out the demOnstrants. the clothing of many women was torn off their backs. At the end of half hour of oppO- sitiOn they became worn out and Lloyd George was able to continue his speech.

NOT A DEMONSTRATION
 ONLY NAVAL MANEUVERS
The Dutch Governments Definition of Movements of Warships Along the Venezuelan Coast.

The Hague. Dec. 5.-The government of the Netherlands has declined to dig nifty the movements of the Dutch war ships, the battleship Jacob Van Heem- skerk and the cruisers Friesland and Gelderland, along the coast of Vene- Zuela from Puerto CabellO to La Guai- ra, as naval demonstration. It as- serts that this maneuver was only the ordinary exercise of the cruisers.
 The government received no inform alton concerning the statement that four American warships are expected at Curacao at the beginning of January but it is thought here that, now that that the presidential election is over, the United States may possibly lend Holland more effective assistance than the moral support already promised.

MANUFACTURERS VIEW OF TARIFF REVISION
Rates Are Already Higher Than They Need Be To Protect Labor.

Washington, Dec. 5-Although he is chairman of the tariff commission of the National Association of Manufac- turers. Herbert E. Niles, of Racine Wisconsin, manufacturer of agricui- tural implements, wagons and carriages made it plain today to the ways and means committee of the house that he was not speaking for the association.
 "A stone labeled as bread" is what he said the farmer is given through the Dingley tariff. MT. Niles said the Stnadard oil company benefited most from the duty on oil. The Standards wage cost was six per cent of the price to the consumer and the tariff offered Ia protection of 99 per cent of the price.
 The tariff rates on steel and its products, he said. were all in excess of the wage cost He declared that 95 per cent of the steel output is controlled by the United States Steel company, Jones and Laughlin, the Republic Iron and Steel company, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and the Lackawan- ma and Pennsylvania Steel company. On MT. Dalzells suggestion he includ cd the Cambria steel company. He said that these and several others are fin a commercial sense practically one concern"
 Niles recommended maximum duty of fifteen per cent on heavy steel products and as a minimum no duty This reduction from the sched- ule, he explained. might result in a material reduction in the cost of agri- , cultural implements and wagons to the farmer, and he advocated putting nails and some machinery on the free list. He admitted later that the steel schedule for rolling mill productions should be reduced 15 or 20 per cent.

Some time this month meeting will be held in New York City with those interested in the project.
 Col. Wynn said today that he be- lieves that the outlook for racing in Mexico is most encouraging and he thinks it will afford a fine field for American horsemen and breeders and one that will in part compensate for the reverses they have recently met. He says the Mexican Jockey club, which will have supervision and fed eral control of racing in Mexico. has already been formed with many of the most prominent American turf men and breeders interested in it. Among them are Messrs. Keene, flag gin, Whitney, Dwyer. Butler. Follans- bee and Macky.

NOT q MIRACLE,

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which

Some persons would not believe that
q man could suffer from coffee drink
ing SO severely as to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to Pos
tum is well worth recording.
Il used to be a great coffee drinker,
so much SO that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught
ME sometimes two or three times a
day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not be-
lieye it, and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation l concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then l have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. l now drink moth
Ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as I am seventy years of g all
my friends think the improvement
