Cans Plank Leading to a Ferryboat Broke W hile Scores or Peoula . Were Crowded Thereon A Word Picture or a Horrible Scene, Bar Harbor, Me., Aug. 7. A score of persons were killed on Sunday by the collapse of the gang plank of the Mount Desert ferry.! The Maine Central railroad ran ex cursions to liur Harbor from all sec tions of its line in Maine, the attrac tion being tho warships which were expected. All the morning long trains packed with excursionists were run ning to liar Harbor. The train which .left Itangor at 8:25 consisted of 12 cars jammed with people. At Mount Desert ferry, the terminus of the line, the train is left for the boat for an eight miles' sail to Bar Harbor. From the whurf a slip or gang plank 40 feet long and ten feet wide led up to the boat. The slip was hinged at the inner end, the cuter end being supported by chains, by which it was raised or low ered to suit the tide. The wharf extends on both sides flush with the end of the gang plank. Five timbers 4x12 inches, set vertical ly, ran the length of the plank and these were crossed by two-inch plunks. It is said there was no support for the plank between the hinges ut the outer end. When the excursion train from lSongor arrived at the ferry there wos a rush for the steamer Sappho. The first few passengers had crossed the gang plank safely, and it is estimated that 200 people were massed upon the plank. Suddenly they felt the plank give way. The long timber sup porting the plank broke in the middle. The hinges held up one end and the chain the other, while the broken ends of the plank dropped and a struggling, screaming mass of humanity was plunged into the water 15 feet beiow the wharf. A few clung to the inclin ed sides of the plank, but at least 150 were struggling in the water. The piling of the wharf partially penned them in on three sides and the boat lying at the wharf closed the outer end of the opening. After the first moment of stupefaction the work of rescue began. Ropes and life pre servers were thrown to the crowd, but in the panic the people in the water clutched one another and many sank thus in groups in a death grapple. Muny taken from the woter were un conscious and were revived with diffi culty. Doctors were summoned from all directions, but it was half an hour before the first arrived. The freight house ot the ferry was turned into a morgue, the bodies be ing taken there for identification as fast as recovered. By noon 17 had been recovered. Three other persons were taken on board the Sappho and died on the way to Bar Harbor. The exact number of dead will not be known for some time yet, as a strong tide sweeps under tli pier and some bodies may have been carried away by it. A diver who was set to work without delay was engaged in his search until i o'clock, but only 17 bodies were found. CHINESE MUST PAY. Neglect In Knlorrlna Laws Against Shipment or War material to Fill ulnus W ill ( oat ( elcatlala Ilrarl). Washington, Aug. 7. Hon. John Ooodnow, consul general of United States nt Shanghai, has rendered a decision ns referee in the consular court which will be of far-reaching importance during the continuance of the war in the Philippines, 'lire case was in relation to the steamer Abbey, charged witli taking arms from Can ton to Luzon. It has been in conten tion for some time. The owners of the vessel gave a bond that the ship honld land the nnns purchns d at Hingapnre. but she did not do so. Th amount of the bond was demanded by the Chinese customs authorities. Mr. (iooduow holds that it must lie pa'd. The importance of the decision is pointed out by the Shanghai .Mer cury, which says: "The. effect of the decision of Mr. Goodnow reaches much beyond the mere fact of being judgment for the plaintiff, with the penalty of the bond and the costs of the suit. Hith erto the American forces at Maul'n have had to fight against Filipin- s well armed with modern rifles and guns and it is no secret that the ma jority of these arms have been landed In the Philippines from Chinese ports. When I'nited States officers have received information thnt cargoes rf weapons were about to be shipped from China their urgent protests to the Chinese authorities have been tin means of stopping shipments. Put when the I'nited States officii. through want of knowledge, hnvo bten Ignorant of such contraband runs, blind to these shipments .though no doubt well aware of such. It is in this respect that Mr. (loodnow has s.v r d such an importnnt point. On the Dtrength of that judgment the ollicer of the imperial maritime customs of China must necessarily do all in their power to stop shipments of arms io suspicious destinations. It has leen decided that China is liable for any shipments of arms which get to the Philippines through lack of diligence or dishonesty on the part of th : Chinese oflicials."

HAVE NO LAWS. Er.Qatn Lil Talks of Her Native Land Joatlce la Administered In a Careless Fashion, Washington, Aug. 5. The Post prints an interview with Liliuokolan), ex-queen of the Hawaiian islands, who receives many letters from home and is residing her The former queen says what the people need there is some head to the government. She adds: "Reports to the contrary, not withstanding, the islands are in a state of practical unarchy. We (I say we, because I count myself one of my peo ple) have no laws but those which have obtained for many yenrs and a few which have been foisted upon us by the Hawaiian republic. "There is no such thing as real jus tive. The native has not the sunij standing when he goes to law with the white man, and- even some of tho foreigners find thnt they cannot obtain their dues. ' LawB are administered in n careless fashion. The government ia an oligarchy instead of a republic. Caprice dictates the pdministrutiou of nfl'airs. I speak with no bitterness. I am merely endeavoring to give a correct picture of the conditions. The inhabitants of the islands know noth ing whatever of their fate, ot what sort of government will be pluced over them." The ex-queen expresses every confi dence in the honorable intentions of America, nnd hopes when a decision is made as to a form of government for the islands that the officials will be ap pointed from this eonntry. When asked ns to her claim for con fiscation of the crow n lands her maj esty was somewhat reticent. "I believe that my claims are just," she said simply. "I think thnt they will be respected. When the papers were filed no definite amount was stated but the revenue resulting from the lands three yenrs ago was about !fl.".0,000 a year. Since that time the lands have increased in value. I have heard thnt their annual income is approximately $1,000,000, but I know nothing about that. There was cer tainly no warrant to dispossess me of them without payment." BLOWN INTO THE GULF.

The trestle is 440 feet long, made of iron, without stone foundations, and was not protected by guard rails. Bouth of the trestle is un incline, down which the car ran at a high rate of speed. It ran on the incline nbout 70 feet when it went off the trestle nnd dropped into the pond below, over turning completely and up-ending. When the car struck the four tons mo tor nnd the heavy trucks .rusluvl into it, instantly killing many of the pas sengers, i Three physicians who were passen arriveil quickly on the scenj a. id lcn dered all possible assistance to the injured. Word wns sent to Bridgcpnv general hospital. A morgue win improvised in the main room of the town hall at Stratford and in a veiy short time 23 bodies were laid ut awaiting identification. The accident was witnessed by Miss Francis Peck, who resides about 400 feet fiom the bridge. She was up stuirs at her home ns the car was passing, and she says It was run.iing nt nn uniibiinlly fast rate. Finnk Cramer, who wns bathing near the bridge, states that the passengers were all singing and in the most joyful mood as they passed liiin. The road, which is practically controlled by the Bridgeport Traction Co., was opeiutd for traffic Thursday. Nearly the entire medicul force of Bridgeport responded to telephone calls sent in, but when the doctor ar rived they were unable' to rendr much assistance, and so few passen gers escaped instant death. The cir after up-ending soon .settled over en its side and there, wns lift!;' difficulty in removing the bodies of the dead as well as assisting the wounded. Motor man Harrison was suffering from meh a severe shock that it was imp, ssiblc to lenrn anything from him. President Radell, of the railway rnm pany, stated that it was impossible for hiin to account for the accident. Immediately after his arrival at the scene he made a thorough iusprc'ion of the tracks on the trestle and could see nothing wrong, and cars were running over the trestle rs usual soon afterwards. , He denied that the car? were being run ut, a high rate of : pe?d, and claimed thnt every possible pre caution had been taken to prevent ac cidents. One theory advanced is that faulty construction was responsible for the accident. At. the point where the cars leave the rood for ihe tresil. it is alleged that the rails had mink n little and though the forward lruck took the rails ull right, th - rear true!; did not connect and jumped ihe track, which caused the forward trucks to also leave the iron. It is believed thnt If proper guard rails had been -daepd on the trestle the ear would have been prevented from toppling over. A VERY CLOSE CALL. A Pnaaenffer Steamer Narrowlr Ea rapes Foundering In Lake fnicUI van. South Haven, Mich.. Aug. 7. The passenger steamer City of Oram! Rapids, with 200 persons on board, narrowly escaped foundering in mid lake Saturday night. The steamer was bound for Milwau kee and wrs :i5 miles out when a large amount of water was discovered in the hold. The wator was pouring in from many leaks, and to make the situation more desperate the engineer was un able to start the pumps going. When the water rose until it was within two Inches of the fires the steamer was turned around and headed for South Haven. The passengers were awakened and told to prepare themselves for what might happen. A wild scramble for life-saving appliances followed. Just before the fires were put out by the in coming water the engineer succeeded in rigging up one of the pumps which held the water in check until port was reached at 0 o'clock Sunday morning. Two inches more of water would have shut off the supply of steam from the boilers and the steamer must have sunk in mid-lake, most likely with gneat loss of life. A Warlike move. Chicago, Aug. 7. A special to the Record from Victoria, B. C, suys: The imperiul government and the Domin ion authorities have decided to in crease both the regular military and militia forces on this station, the Pa cific coast depot of the British urmy and navy. Coming at a time when the relations between Canada und the United States are acknowledged by Premier Laurier to be rather strained over the Alaskan boundary question, it looks as if Britain and Canada were determined to assert their claim to those portions of Alaska demanded by Canada by force of arms if necessary. The Nun's Employe Strike. New York, Aug. 7. The compositors aud stereotypers of the Sun, 120 in number, who went on strike Saturday night, were still out last night. The press and composing rooms were in darkness. The Sun appeared Sunday morning with only four pages In it's news section. The strike, which was ordered by Typographical Union No. rl, was ratified in Teutonia hall at one of the largest meetings ever held by the union. The meeting pussed a reso lution offering the entire funds of the union, amounting to 840.000, for the use of their striking brethren in case 1 of neeisiiti. ; 'Honor is Purchased h Deeds We Do."

The Australian race lottery, in which Mr. Stoddart, captain of the Knglish cricketers, won JU 1,300, is one of the most extraordinary gambling schemes in the world. It is known as Tattersall's sweeps and has beeu in. existence for many years at the anti podes. The brent li of scandal has nev er touched it, and the "drawings" for the bigger events are supervised by a committee of the lending citizens and' pressmen of the city in which it is at the time located, (ieorgc Adams, the organizer, makes it a business to get up the sweeps on all the chief Australian races, and,, owing to the strong support he re ceives, is enabled to give prizes 'that even singly would be taken as modest fortunes by most people. It has been estimated that during a twelvemonth . 1,500,000 of the public's money; pusses through Adams' hands. Tuke the Melbourne cup, for In stance. On this race the sweep is 100,1)00 subscribers at 1 each, and the prize for drawing the horse that wins the cup is 30,000. Tire holder of the second-horse ticket receives 7,500 nnd 2.500 goes to the third horse ticket. In addition some thou Fi'nds of pounds nre distributed" among those who get horses, whether they start in the race or not, and there nre hundreds of cash prizes ranging from 100 pounds to the modestf "fiver" each. On this race there will be other sweeps at. prices to suit the) most humble contributor. Two con solations, ns they are termed, of 50,000 at, half n sovereign each, and one of 100,000 nt five shillings each. All through the year racing Is going on In Australia, where the horse is idolized, nnd nearly every week there is n sweep. As mentioned previously no doubt hns ever been cast on the honesty of the organizer, who deducts ten per cent, from all winnings so as to recoup himself for his expenditure nnd exertion. He employs ns many clerks ns a large bank, spends thou sands of pounds annually in odvertisv ing and now holds in his possession nearly a quarter of n million pounds" worth of unclaimed prizes. Legislation has time nfter time been put into force to wipe out Tattersall's, but without success. The New South Wales government by net of parlia ment drove Adams from Sydney awl he without delay settled In Brisbane.. After 12 months' location there the Queensland parliament did the same thing, and Hohart was the next site removed to, where the sweeps are merely conducted now under the pat ronage in person of prominent citi lens. The Australian postal laws cotu ' pel that all letters containing value must be registered, and it has been stated that Tattersall's brings 10,00a per annum in revenue to the colters ot the colony where its offices nre.
