Montevideo (SpeciaD In a driv-
ing rainstorm about o'clock A. NJ,
the Argentine excursion steamer Col
ombia and the North German Lloyd
steamer Schlesien collided at the en-
trance of Montevideo harbor. The
Colombia was entering port and the
Schlesien was outward bound for
Bremen. The Colombia's bow was
crushed in and she sank almost i'm
mediately. Between $50 and 200
persons were killed or drowned
The Colombia carried about 200
passengers and a crew of AS men.
Most of the passengers were asleep
and panic followed the crash. AL
most Immediately small boats put
out to the sinking steamer. but the
work of rescue was rendered very
difficult by the high sea, About 20
persons were brought ashore. Most
of the dead are women and children.
A majority of the survivors are men.
The Colombia was carrying excur-
sionists from Buenos AYres 10 a fes-
tival at Montevideo and the disaster
has caused the keenest emotion. The
Uruguayan government, in conse-
quence, has postponed the fetes ar
ranged for the celebration of the in
auguration of the port. The Schles-
len, which is only slightly damaged,
has been detained here by the port
authorities. Her commander attri-
butes the collision to the wind and
the high seas which made both
steamers almost unmanageable.
Scores of bodies have been recov-
cred and are now lying at the GUS
tom house. but many of them have
not been identified.
The Colombia was an old steamer
OF 1900 tons engaged In the regular
passenger service between this port
and Buenos Ayres.

Mrs. Rose Sutton, the mother =,

was killed at Annapolis by pis,o,
shot which court of inquiry fou,d
mad been fired by himself, has applied
10 the War Department for permissiop
to exhume the body. II is understooj
that she intends to have a secon5
autopsy made in the hope of shoq.
ing by indisputable medical evidence
that Lieutenant Sutton could nor
have shot himself
There will be ample time for the
Sutton family TO obtain the neces.
sary sanction from the prone
sources, for Lieutenant Humphrey
of the Quartermaster Department
having jurisdiction over Arlington
said that the permission TO exhume
the body would not be granted a,
once. Ii is believed that the delay
is due to Lieutenant Humphreys nm.
Willingness to act on the request Of
Mrs. Sutton in the absence of his
superior officers. Quartermaster
General Aleshire is away with his
family at West Point, but is ex.
pected to return to Washington
soon. Both Secretary Dickinson and
Assistant Secretary Oliver are ab-
sent. 1t is naturally desirable
therefore, that the department will
act with caution. There is ever
probability that the Sutton case viii
get into the federal courts, and there
is also the prospect OF congres
sional investigation. Moreover the
Navy Department has practically de-
clared the Sutton case a closed ep
sode, so that the officials now on
duty in the War Department prefer
to await the return of responsible
authorities.
A report that an autopsy would b.
made by Colonel LaGarde Of the
Medical Department of the Army
was denied by that officer As
matter of fact. while Colonel Ii.
Garde was approached by Mrs. Sui.

Lieutenant Sutton's death II was
wholly impossible for him to act
Mrs. Sutton was most anxious for
Colonel LaGarde's opinion as to the
probability of her son having sho,

A Word In Private.

If you have just paid your sub
scriptim for the past year or
have paid lin advance, this word
is not for you. But if you have
taken the paper since it was
started, and have not paid any
thing this year, you must know
that your time has expired with
out our sending you bill, and
this word is for you: The postal
law is very striCtnOw. 1t does not
permit the sending of a paper to
a subscriber who owes for more
than one year. Therefore if
YOU do owe for even Il week over
one year, we must cut you off
the list. 1t is not because we do
not want you, or that we do not
trust you, it is simply because
IT Is NOT PERMITTED.
We are going very carefully
over our lists, and if you do not
get a paper and do know that you
owe US, you will understand that
we are forced by law to take such
action. To avoid such a happen
ing, send in your subscription,
or such part of it as will make it
less than a year you owe for.
And if you can afford it PAY IN
ADVANCE. That is the easiest
way for all concerned, and next
fall will be enforced invariably.
So get ahead of time, pay in ad
vance, or at least pay up, and get
to the head of the line.
