The Hon. James Bryce, British am

been In Australia this summer, and in
q recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect OF an early reduction In the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted, would mean q large increase in
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador IL right. That is
Just what will happen II the wool tariff
Is lowered. and the Montana sheep
men know. because they remember
what happened In 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less When the Dem
ocratic members OF the ways and
means committee of the house, In the
recent session Of congress, presented
their wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that It would increase the I'm
ports OF wool into America by l90.-
100000 pounds.
But there can b no increase in the

JERSEY DEMOCRATS
IN SHIPW RECK
Wilson Boosters Have an Exciting
Time When Excursion Boat
Hits Rock.

New York. Sept. u.-Sixteen hundred
members OF the Hudson County Demo
cratic Association had an exciting time
tonight when the steamboat Perseus
struck a rock 800 feet OFF the Long
Island shore at College Point
The Jersey Democrats. with Sheriff
Weldon at their head. S2OO strong. sailed
from Jersey City for a days outing at
Donnelly's Grove. The steamboat Sirius
at o'clock took aboard one-half the
crowd and dropped down stream. while
the Perseus took the remainder. The
Perseus' captain went out of his way to
avoid schooner. and a moment later
the passengers were thrown into a panic
when there was a smash and a grinding
sound and the boat shook from stem to
stern.
She's sinking" was the cry that went
up as the boat swung around the stream.
and there was a rdsh for life-preservers
On the shore. 100 yards away, could be
seen the lights Of the dock she had left.
Engineer Peter Forelict saw that water
was rushing in forward, and sounded his
whistle for help. The Sirius and a tug
steamed to his aid. In the meanwhile
Capt knight got the boat around, with
her nose toward the dock, and signaled
for full speed ahead. The water by this
time was filling the place occupied by
the engine crew. Forelict stuck TO his
engines and the firemen to the boilers
until the water was up to a point where
1t threatened the fire.
The boat. taking a great deal OF water,
made slow headway for the short space
she had to travel. The engineer finally
put out his fires and opened the safety
valves to avoid accident and climbed out
of his position as she reached the dock.
The excursionists went ashore and
sought trolley cars and ferry-boats to get
to New York and New Jersey.
