senator McCumber attacked the

Arguments presented for agricul-

Coast

Yarmouth, n. S.-Snatched from
what seemed almost certain death, the
los passengers and crew OF the Royal
Mail Packet Cobequid are safe in Var
mouth harbor
Wireless appeals for assistance,
which she had first made thirty-six
hours before, were answered as the
doomed steamer was being racked to
pieces on Trinity Rock, six miles off
Port Maitland. The rescue will go
down in shipping annals as one OF the
most notable ever accomplished on the
Atlantic coast.
The Cobequid had begun to break
up under the cannoning of the ter
rifle seas that had been merciless from
the time the vessel struck Quantities
of cargo covered the waters as the
lifeboats ranged alongside. The coas-
tai steamers Westport and John l..
Cam were first to get their small
boats into the water and they were
followed soon by boats Of the govern
ment steamer Lansdowne and the
steamer Rappahannock. AS the work
of rescue progressed the seas subsid-
ed and no mishap marred the triumph
over the waves.

ARE UNDER BAYONET RULE
GOVERNMENT MEETS GENERAL
STRIKE ORDER BY DECLAR-
ING MARTIAL LAW.
Feeling Is Very Bitter Throughout the
Country-Na,ives Are
Feared.

Cape Town, Union of South Africa
general strike throughout South AT
rica was proclaimed by the Trades
Federation, and the Rand miners, by
two-thirds majority, voted to join
in the movement. Governmental retail
iation was swift in the form of the
proclamation OF martial law.
This was the only ster the authori-
ties believed adequate to meet the sit
uation, for the strike of the miners
means not only the turning loose OF
the most turbulent spirits in the Rand,
but raises the whole question of the
position OF the native workers. II the
miners actually obey the strike order,
the government will Immediately take
steps to send the natives, under es-
cort, back to their kraals
This means that about two hundred
thousand natives must be marched
back by road to their hence - enor-
nous cost. 1t will be most difficult.
after the end of the strike, to recruit
them again. In brief, such step
would mean disaster for the Rand for
many years.
Although official reports from the
city OF Johannesburg show improve
ment in the train service. reports from
other districts are less encouraging.
In Natal the situation is one of great
tension, and 1t is feared that the 10y
atty of the trainmen will not stand the
strain much longer. An instance Of
the mems temper is shown by the ac-
uon of an engine driver who quit his
train on the Veldt and left the passen-
gers stranded.
Practically no information is at hand
as to conditions in the Orange Free
States. but improvement there is not
considered probable.
