ON NEW ENGLAND ROCKS.
Two Steamships of the Bull Line
Meet With Misfortune.

Two of the big steamships Of the Bull
line of New York, which have recently
brought phosphate rock to Alexandria,
have met with misfortune on the rocky
coast of New England in the past few
days, and it is probable that before either
is floated, il at all, they will be seriously
damaged. Early in the week the steam
ship Wilhelmina went ashore at Truro,
Mass, and since going ashore heavy ice
has made for a mile outside the vessel,
and the wreckers. who have taken charge
of her. can do nothing toward float
ing her. The crew Of the ship remained
aboard her until yesterday, when they
succeeded in getting ashore. The steamer
Carolyn, one of the largest American
steamships ever up the Potomac, struck
on the rocks off Metinic Island, Me-,
Wednesday night while on her way from
Stockton Springs. Me-, to New York The
vessel is seriously damaged and her for
ward hold Is reported full of water AS
soon as weather conditions will allow the
wreckers will endeavor to float the ship
If she is in any condition to be fioated.
Both the Carolyn and the Wilhelmina are
foreign built. the first named having been
constructed at Whtby. England, In 1899
and the latter at West Hartlepool, Eng
land, in 1888. The Carolyn discharged
nearly 1000 tons of phosphate rock at
Alexandria, the largest cargo of the kind
ever brought to that port.

Oysters in the shell are bringing fancy

PRACTICE CRUISE OMITTED.
Midshipmen Will Go on Board Ships
of the Atlantic Fleet.

There will be no Naval Academy prac-
tice squadron this year. Owing to- the
plan of providing crews for the big
dreadnaughts Arkansas and Wyoming,
soon to go into commission, and for the
reserve fleets shortly to be established at
the Philadelphia and Puget sound navy
yards. there will not be sailors available
for managing the Iowa, Indiana and
Massachusetts,. which usually constitute
the midshipmen's squadron.
In order that the midshipmen may not
be deprived of their sea experience, the
three junior classes at the academy will
be placed aboard the vessels of the At
lantic fleet this summer and next sum-
mer. 1t is believed that with this ex-
perience behind them they will be in a
better position to discharge their duties

law granting them commissions at the
