Vessel With 1900 Soldiers on
Board Hits Mine.
ACCIDENT IN THE CHANNEL
Wireless Distress Signals Received at
Rotterdam - Russian Submarine
Destroys One Steamer and
Nine Schooners.

Berlin, Jan. 24.-Wireless distress
signals from British transport with
1880 soldiers on board, which had
struck mine and was sinking In the
British channel, were received in Rot
terdam, according to reports from
that city, says the Overseas News
agency.
Petrograd, Jan. 24.--"In the Black
sea, one OF our submarines sank an
enemy steamer and nine schooners
near the Bosporus," an official state
ment says.
Washington, Jan. 24.-Inquiry has
been made of Germany as to whether
there were any Americans among the
1903 neutral sailors brought in as pris-
oners of war on the Geman prize
Ymrowdale for having taken pay on
armed merchantmen. The inquiry
was made entirely on press reports
and rot on any official information
which has come to the state depart
ment.
Officials admit that the armed ship
issue is at the root of the whole ques-
ton. The views of this country and
Germany appear widely divergent
Each case, officials say must be de-
cided entirely on its own merits but
out of all the difficulties that have
arisen recently it is believed it may
be possible to enunciate some general
rule. 1t is said, however, that no
definite program has yet been drawn
up.
BuenO-; Aires Argentina, Jan. "a

MONROVIA NOT UGLY CITY
Unprosperous and "ShftIess," but Still
In Many Ways Place of Attrac-
ton for the Tourist.

The one word that describes Monro-
via is "shiftless." Here came the for
mer negro slave in the early eighties,
backed by phllanthropists who wanted
TO see him given a chance in his own
country. And here is the former ne
gro slave today, idling away his life
in the tropical luxuriance of the jun
gle, which feeds him without cultiva-
ton, and watching his one big chance
fall TO ruins.
After all, the negro can hardly be
blamed If he fails in task that has
tried the nerve of white men. Coloniz-
ing Liberia has not been all delight,
full experience. There are still many
lions, leopards and snakes in the
jungle, which make BODYBUILDING a
dangerous occupation, and occasionally
the interior tribes of negroes get OBJ
streperous and eat couple of their
civilized brethren.
Monrova is pitiful, but not ugly.
over all It's shabblness and decay grow
the scarlet hibiscus, pink oleanders
and other tropical flowers. decorating
with their brilliant blossoms the corpse
of fine ideal.

Use for Skins of Sharks.

The skin OF sharks is very tough
and durable, and some of them have
u beautiful surface pattern, which re-
mains after tanning.
Arrangements have already been
made for securing from Florida fisher
men n large supply of large shark
skins, and further specimens are ex-
pected from other sources. These
skins VIII be sent by the bureau of
fisheries to tanners. 1t is hoped that
eventually all fishermen along our
coasts may find regular market for
the skins of sharks caught by them.

Cheated His Widow of a Pleasure.

The will in which Il testator direct
ed that his ashes, after cremation.
should be buried at the foot of n pear
tree In his garden was inspired by Il
dislike of the needless and largely in
sincere pomp of mourning. Perhaps
the most eccentric choice on record
was that of testator more than a
hundred years ago who directed that
his coffin should be dropped into the
sea mile below the Needles. It is said
that his wife had vowed she would
dance on his grave, and he grlmly re-
solved that II she did 1t should cost
her her llfe.-London Globe.
