STEAMER RUNS
ON ROCK IN FOG
American Liner Raverford in
Bad Condition.
ALL The PASSENGERS SAFE.
Tugs Hurry to Disabled Ship Of
the Irish Coast and Rescue
Passengers.

Queenstown. - The American Line
steamer Haverford, which sailed We'd
nesday from Liverpool for Philadel-
phia with 1874 cabin and $50 steerage
passengers aboard, went on the rocks
westward of Corkhead Thursday at
ternoon while feeling her way eau
tiously in dense fog
The wireless again demonstrated its
efficiency. By its aid what might have
been disaster was converted into a
mere accident Within few min
utes the ship was in communication
with Queenstown. Her position and
needs were explained First aid in
the form Of great tugs, which ply
between the port and passing liners
with passengers and mails, were go,
ing to the rescue as fire engines re-
spond to an alarm.
Before dusk all the passengers with
light luggage had been safely brought
ashore at this harbor. When the last
passenger was taken off there were Is
feet of water in the forehold of the
vessel
The admiralty station received the
first message of distress. This is trans
mitted Immediately to the American
Line office, and at the same time dis
patched the big government tugs Hell
lespont and Stormcock to the liners
assistance.
The company's Queenstown agents
soon afterward sent three of the Clyde
Shipping COmpanys tugs, which, with
the tender and tugs, carrying 80 Irish
passengers, who expected to board the
Haverford, already on the way, soon
arrived at the scene of the accident.
Thus the stranded vessel in a short
time was surrounded by small fleet.
Quarters were found here for the
ship-wrecked people, the cabin passen-
gers being housed at the large hotels
aud the steerage passengers in the
smaller hostelries.
The heavy baggage of the passen-
gers is likely to be lost if the ship
breaks up. When the passengers were
ordered to debark one of the women
refused to leave until her bulldog
was brought up from below.

, JAPAN TO SPEAK AGAIN.
Believed In TOXIC That American Note
Not Final

Toxic. - Another note from the
Japanese government, dealing with
the questions arising out OF the recent
California alien land ownership legis-
lation is to be forwarded shortly to
Washington.
The idea that the United States has
not said her final word is prevalent
here and it is intimated in au-
thoritative circles by inference that no
official action is to be initiated yet by
Japan.
The formation of a japanese asso-
citation in the United States for the
purpose of cooperating with the
Japanese government is greatly favor
ed here and the object of the members
of this city, when it is formed, will be
to reach a permanent solution of the
difficulty by means of a new treaty
or by change in naturalization laws

GOTHAM HONORS
NAMES DEAD
Monument to Those Killed in
Havana Harbor Unveiled.
BATTLESHIPS BOOM SALUTE
Former President Taft, Secretary OF
Navy Daniels, Governor SuIzer,
Rear Admiral Sigs5ee and
Others Delivered Addresses.

New York.-Two nations-the freed
and the liberator-paid honor to the
heroes who died on board the battle
ship Maine when that ship was blown
up in Havana Harbor at $40 o'clock on
the evening of February Is, 1898.
The occasion was a memorial serv-
ice, and ceremonies attendant upon the
unwilling of the National Maine Monu-
ment at the Fifty-ninth street and
Broadway entrance to Central Park.
One thousand Cuban sailors from
the warship Cuba, 10000 United States
sailors from the ships of the North
Atlantic feet which came especially
for the occasion, the Sixty-ninth Regi-
ment, First Regimental Cavalry and
the Naval Militia of the New York
State Militia and several Spanish War
Veteran Associations took part in one
of the greatest naval and military
parades New York has seen in years.
Starting from Fortieth street and Fifth
avenue the troops proceeded to Fifty
y
to- Broadway, up Broadway to Sixty
sixth street and thence east into Cen
trail Park. Here the troops and sail
ors countermarched so that the heads
of the various divisions simultaneously
appeared surrounding the monument.
In the reviewing stand were Gov
ernor Sulzer of New York, Governor
Haines of Maine, Mayor Gaynor and
other city officials; Rear-Admiral
Charles Sigsbee, who was captain Of
the Inflated Maine at the time OF the
explosion, and ather John Chadwick,
chaplain of the old Maine.
Previous to the arrival of the troops
at the monument they were reviewed
from a specially erected stand at the
Plaza, Fifty-ninth street and Fifth ave-
nue..
With the troops banked about the
monument and standing at parade rest,
addresses were made by the prominent
guests. Directly back OF the monument
were the two groves of trees planted
by Park Commissioner Slower as part
Of the Maine memorial. To the left in
the rear Of the monument had been
planted one scarlet oak for each ship
which was under the command of Ad-
miral Dewey at the battle of Manila
Bay.
Just opposite these trees was a
grove Of red oaks, one for each of the
ships under the command of Admirals
Schley and Sampson at Santiago Har-
Dor. AS a background for the monu-
ment and the two oak tree fleets" a
grove of pin oaks had been planted to
represent each battleship in the pres
ent United States Navy.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.
Dun's says:

Dun's says:
while business sentiment, especial
ly in the East, displays a marked de-
gree of conservation, the actual vol
ume of industrial and mercantile activ-
ity shows little or no diminution. Re-
tail distribution has been retarded in
many sections by cold and inclement
weather, but the fact that wholesale
houses report a broader demand for
cotton goods, footwear and most staple
lines is evidence that this check IS re-
garded as only temporary. Aside
from the low temperature the crop sit
uation in most sections continues
favorable, although complaints Of dam
age led to some reduction in the wheat
estimates for the Southwest"

DUCKED IN THE SEVERN.
Two Hundred Midshipmen Thrown
Of Seawall Into River.

The first suggestion of June week
at the Naval Academy came when the
old custom of ducking the third class
men was observed, AS the members
Of the class emerged from their class
room after completing their last an
nual examination they were taken, one
by one, by their classmates and thrown
off the seawall into the waters of the
Severn. The midshipmen were in reg
ular uniform, and ordinarily this would
have been considered a grave breach
of discipline, but in view of the old
custom, the authorities winked at the
prank. Finally, the whole class, num-
bering about 200, were in the water
at the same time After a swim of
about a quarter of an hour, the mid
shipmen got ashore by means of
float, and proceeded to their rooms
for dry toys.
