Transferred.

the sands off Fire island, the North
German Lloyd steamer Princess Irene
was disclosed at daylight this morning
to be in practically the same position
she suddenly found herself in yesterday
morning while cropping through the fog.
| Although the problem OF transferring
the l,720 passengers is serious one
because of the high seas kicked up by
an increase in wind, every precaution
had been made this morning to remove
the passengers.
The steamship Prinz Friedrich left
this morning to take off the passengers,
and three life saving crews on the beach
opposite the steamer are standing by
in boats There is no evidence that
the Princess Irene has sprung leak.
The vessel is at least six feet in the
sand
The liner lay helpless all through
yesterday, being surrounded by tugs
and revenue cutters, and at times ef-
forts were made to pull her off the
sand AS the weather was rough 1t
was decided last night to leave the
passengers on board Two big tugs
kept their lines on the stern OF the
vessel TO await the morning Captain
Goddard and si veterans Of the Lone
Hill lifesaying station remained aboard
the Princess Irene all night to reassure
the nervous passengers. Although two
thirds Of the passengers were Greek
and Italian immigrants, unable to I'm
derstand the assurances Of the officers,
they were reasonably calm. The
grounding of the vessel had been so
easy that few of the passengers knew
of II unit lthey went to breakfast yes
terday morning
The scene Of the grounding was about
ten miles east Of Fire island, about
46 miles from the Battery and about
a thousand feet from the beach of the
treacherous sandpit which skirts the
outer edge of Long island
Again at foodtide this noon, the
straining of feet of tugs and the
ohurning Of the Irene's big propellers
proved ineffective in releasing the yes
sci.
The transhipment Of passengers com
menced at one o'clock, when the surf
boat, bearing Is women, left the Irene
for the relief ship Prince Friendrieh.
The latter vessel reached the Irene at
1890.
Among the cabin passengers on the
Princess Irene is Bishop Rice of the

Sugar Maple Worm Pest.

This season the naples are in danger
from the green worm, which has ap.
peared in greater numbers than ever
before in various parts of the country,
particularly in New York, Ohio and
Michigan. Their voraciousness is de-
foliating the trees and unless their raw.
ages are stayed the sugar bush is in dan.

trees and denude tree of its leaves it

These worms or caterpillars are now
about an inch long and can be easily
recognized by the light green color and
the broken white stripes in connection
with the numerous white dots. These
pests are only two,thirds grown and
when abundant cause serious injury to
the naples before deserting them. The
time to attack and destroy them is now
before they leave the trees. Thorough
and prompt spraying with poison,
such as arsenate of lead, using two
pounds Q5 per cent arsenic oxide). to SO
gallons of water, will check the trouble.
Many descending caterpillars can be de-
stroyed by enclosing the trunks and
infested trees with low barricade and
applying an adhesive band, such az
fresh tar or tree tanglefoot at the upper
inner edge and then pouring boiling
water over the collected caterpillars.
Small trees can be protected in large
measure by jarring the pests from the
branches and then preventing their as
