A BRIGANTINE ON ROCKS
Six Men Swept Away — Nor

Halifax. N. F.. June I.— Thick foe and
a quickly born southwesterly gale re
sulted in the wreck of six vessels and
the loss of fight men at various points
along the rocky North Atlantic coast
last night and early to-day.
While most of the crew of twenty-five
were asleep below decks, the French
brigantine Mauve, n fishing vessel, run
ning free through the fog, piled up on
Pointo Blanche, at the entrance of St.
Pierre Harbor, Mlquelon. this morning.
Six of the men who were on deck were
thrown overboard by the shock when
their craft struck. All were drowned.
The remaining nineteen signalled vain
ly for assistance, and then made their
perilous way to shore In small boats and
on rafts. The Main-, which hailed from
Cancalo. France, is believe,' to be a
total los?.
At nearly the .same time that the
Mauve struck the Norwegian bark

Kline men \ver<> either drowned or hurled
to death on the ledjpas, and the remain
inp seven, clinpinp to the wreckage of
their boats, vvere in the last stages of
exhaustion arisen rescued by fishermen,
who bravely put out from Port Bicker

The Borphlld registered T-~> tons, and

CRITICISES ALMA MATER
Alumnus Says Harvard Fails to
Teach, Lead and Face Issue.
IH\ Telegraph to ti»» Tribune.]
Cambridge, Mass n June i. j. Sullivan
Cochrane, Elarvard, '00. lia.s an Indict
ment of Harvard in "The Harvard Illus
tr.)t.,i Magazine" oader the caption oi
"V< rita.-."
"Few will dispute that for over a cen
tury, since tlir eetabli^hment vf our pov
enuaeDt, Harvard rnivcrsity has hern
th" foremost educational institution of
this country." Mr. Cochxane said. "It
h;ts boea an influential moulder of pub
ii« - opinion, a leader of national thought,
a puiding factor in the life of the indi
vidual and the nation. What has bt^n
the resuat? Has Harvard fulfilled its
potential misaion? Has Harvard leader
ship entailed on th<> nation an f >^a of
hie:h progress?
• Tin indictment against Harvard is
not that of deliberate malfeasance; it is
the Indictment of a teacher that has
failed to teach, of a loader that lias
neglected to load, of a champion who
has not faced the issue. '
Referring to l>r. Charles AY. Eliot's
views on democracy, Mr. Cochrane says:
"Apparently it did not occur to Presi
dent Kliot that our democracy demands
fundamentally and primarily not the
education of the masses but the educa
tion of our educators themselves. In
their h'gti and remote pursuit of culture
they have seemingly lost sight of the
purpose and functions of their own call
ing."
"la it not time for Harvard itself to
absorb some of the wisdom of the ages?"
concludes Mr. Cochrane. "Let its fac
ulty, its governors, its overseers, admin
istrators and high functionaries stand
forth and answer to the American na
tion whether «>r not Harvard University
baa <lon>- its duty by that same nation.
Let their, reconsider the record of the
past. I.et them decide between truth
and tradition. Let them choose between
veritas and vanitas."

Radical morning papers sarcastically •*■
press the hope that th's act of clemency
will not itx'np Mr. Roosevelt's displeasure
on tl>e score of "sentimentality."
Editorial comments yesterday afternoon
on his startling utterances conc»»niintr Brit
i ish rule In Egypt were liiMiwmrwil. as a
I rule, by partisanship. The Conservative
press defended the conclusions drawn by
the American statesman, while the IJb?ral
papers opposed his deductions with equal
seriousness, but outside the subject matter
of the speech the newspapers, almost with
out exception, cftaueaNfsd the propriety of
a foreign truest "of the city criticisms la*
colonial policy of the empire.
Of the comments of the Conservative
press thfl following are samp)
"The Globe" It was not the time, nor
the place, nor miii the ex-Pr^sld^nt the per
son, to display this particular form of i"
terest in the business Of his* hosts.
"The Pan Mall Gazette"— The unconven
tional is justified only by success, If h*»
prefers realities to the proprieties where
vital Interests are concerned, so does the
Judgment of the British people.
"Th<> Standard"— That be should lay
har.As on one of the nation's private and
particular political subjects seemed a social
crime not far from pacrilese, but in read
iii« tn. speech carefully there is found
nothing of which to complain.
Of the Liberal papers "The Westminster
Gazette" doubts the necessity for and dis
agrees with the conclusions of the speech.
"The Star'" says that "Mr. Roosevelt should
learn that he Is not exempt from the cus
toms of civilised nations."
Mr. Roosevelt passed to-day quietly. lie
visited the National Gallery during the
forenoon, had luncheon with several men
prominent in the Nationalist party, and is
the guest overnight at the country home of
Frederick C. Selous.
There were sixteen leading Nationalists
at the luncheon, and Mr. Roosevelt had an
Intimate discussion of Irish affairs with
them. Only two speeches were made, one
of welcome by John Redmond and the other
a humorous reply by the former President.
Keforc his departure Mr. Roosevelt will
be entertained by King George. On this oc
casion his majesty will receive his guest
not in the capacity of a special ambassador
to the funeral of the late King Edward, but
as a distinguished visitor.
DISPLEASURE IN CANADA
"The Montreal Star's" View of
the Guildhall Speech.
[By Telegraph to The Trihunr. |
Ottawa, June I.— Several Canadian news
papers comment to-day on ex-President
Roosevelt's remarks in London. "The
Montreal Star" says:
"Mr. Roosevelt took occasion yesterday
to sir* Great RritaJn riirht on her Egyptian
policy. Perhaps is would be more accurate
to s;iv '..hat he made the occasion, for the.
presentation of the freedom ot the i Ity of
LaOQdon has not heretofore b<»en construed
as an invitation publicly to lecture the
King's constitutional advisers on their for
eign or domestic policies, Mr. Roosevelt.
brinj; what he is, however, and the Pritish
people what thpy nre, it is «ate to assume
that the dissertation will do no one any
harm."
Then The Star" applies Mr. Roosevelt's
advice regarding Egypt to Nicaragua and
the sta'' s. ;iTid adds:
"To paraphrase Mr. Roosevelt's owa
words, "Either ;t is or is not ripht tor
the rnited States to he in Nicaragua.' If
there is any other richt than that of ttS
betag in the interest of the United Statfs
to do bo, it has not yet been made the
subject of any asocial communication which
would justify the pretext that was taken
advantage of to occupy Ktearaguan terri
tory for an Indefinite' period. The ethics
of nations call for something more than
a desire and a pretext in such cases. Bren
the tattered Monroe Doctrine, which has
been made to cover .-.» many Indefensible
happenings in South America, can hardly
be stretched far enoutrh to hide i(.s Baked
brutality.
"There arc, however, other analogies be
tween the situation in Egypt and that m
Central America. Egypt contains the Suez
t.'amil which Great Britain controls; Nica
ragua borders the . zone of the isthmian
canal which the United States owns. What
heightens the emphasis on this phase of the
situation is the fact that there exists in
Nicaragua a possible route for a rival canal
which, competent engineers believe, has
many advantages over the location chosen
by the United States for the waterway on
which it 1- spending millions of dollars."'

The "Committee Candidate."
«
The process of designating th* "com- ,
mittee candidate" is exactly th« name i
under the < obb measure as under the
Hinman-Green bill. Not earlier than j
nine weeks nor late* than six weeks be- |
fore primary day the committee In a j
district where a candidate is to be |
named at the primaries must hold a
public meeting. On roileall each mem- |
Nt Is to announce his choice, if any. for
the "committee candidate** for the office
in question. Then the balloting '<« to
begin, each member voting as his name
is called. The man thus designated by
a majority of the party committee he
comes the "committee candidate" for
Office; and his name leads the group on
the primary ballot under the title of that
office.
Any group of voters in 'he party
within three weeks before primary day
may put up against him another candi
date for nomination at the primaries by
tiling with th*» proper official a petition
setting forth their choice. Then on pri
mary day the - voters choose batwooai
these candidates by marking their pref
erence on the ballot.
Only duly enrolled party mem mar
take part in the primaries. The. Cobb
bill, ms did the Jlinman-OJre* n measure,
provides Cor a state-wide enrolment
under the charge of proper officials, and
for the conduct of the primaries by the
regular inspectors of elections, just as
on Election Day. Thus, its supporters
predict, there will bo an end put to a
practice now prevalent in some counties
whereby the county boss, through hi.«
men who control the enrolment books,
refuses to enroll as party memt^rs
voters known to be Opf>oee<] to him and
his methods.
