The U. p. Enrolment List.

From the upper peninsula is coming
the explanation" that the enormous
enrolment figure up there is to be
accounted for by the fact that the
lists have not been revised, and in
cludes dead men and men who have
moved away"
Deputy Secretary Of State Mills
thus explains the explanation:
"The $4,000 enrolment given out
here is a corrected enrolment. We
take great pains to keep the figures
straight. When We have reason to
lieve that the township clerks are not
taking proper care of the rolls and
striking out the names of the dead
or those who have moved from the
territory, We call their attention to
this in letter. In this manner We
are enabled to keep a fairly accurate
list.
There may be few names-very
few-in the enrolment that belong to
dead men, but II such names are on
the list, we do not know It,"

British Cruiser Wrecked.

Eighteen lives were lost when the
British cruiser Bedford ran ashore on
the rocks off Quelpart island. Korea,
according to the report received in
London by the admiralty. The men
were members of the engine room
staff.
The vessel lies in such desperate
position that there is practically no
possibility of saving her.
The accident occurred during full
speed trials of the vessel and the
cruiser was evidently badly holed,
since the deaths are said officially to
have been due TO the thrush .of
water" The scene of the wreck is
the Samarang rocks group of rocks
about two miles to the west of Bar
low island. which is off the south
western point of Quelpart island.
Many sunken rocks are charted in
this vicinity and navigation in the
passage between Barlow island and
Giffard island, its neighbor, is not rec
commended for this reason.
