Arrival of Funeral Train the zig nal fc r Men and Wo men to Weep. Tenderly and reverently those who had known William McKinley best re ceived _his martyred body into their arms at his old home, Canton, Ohio, Wednesday. They had foigotten the illustrious career of the statesman in the loss of a great personal Iriend who had grown dearer to them with the pass ing of the years. They hardly noticed the president of the United States or the generals and admirals in their re splendents uniforms. The beautiful dag draped casket wnieh contained the Douy of their friend and fellow towns man heid all their thoughts. lie had left them two weeks ago in the full tide of the strength of a glorious man hood and they had brought him baei dead. Anguish was in the heart or every man, woman and child. Tne en tire population of the little city an., thousands from all Ohio, the tuil strength of the national guard of the State, eight regiments, three batteries of aruulery, one bana:ion of engineers, hve thousand men in all, the governor, neutenant governor and jasuoe of the supreme court, representing the three branches of the State government, were at the statien to receive the remains. The whole town was in deep black. The only housi in all this sorrow stricken city, strange as it may seem, without .a touca ot mourning drapery was the old familiar McKinley cottage on North Market street to which so many aistinguished men in the country have made pilgrimages in the days that are gone. The blinds were drawn but there was no outward token of the blow that had robbed it of its most precious posses sion. The flowers bloomed on the lawn as they did two weeks ago. There was not even a bow of crepe upon the door when the stricken widow was carried by Abner McKinley and Dr. Rixey through it into the darkened home from which the light, for her; had floan forever. Only the hitching post at the curb in front of the resiaence had been swathed .n black by the ciaizens in or der that it might conform to the gen eral scaeme of mournig decoration that had been adoptc. Sad as was the procession which bore the body to the court house where it isy in state it conid not compare with the ininite saaness of that endiess double line of broken hearted people who streamed steadily through the aim iy lighted corridors ot the buiding n'o.m tne time the coffin was opened untur is was taken home to ne sorrowing widow at nighulal. They steppcd sotuly, lest their foot falls wake taeir friend irom his last long sleep. Tears came un bidden to wet the bier. P~erctaps it 'was the great change that had come upon the countenance which movea them more than the sight oz the fanu iar features. The signs or acielra tion which appeared agion the brow and cheeks W euesday at the state cere monial in the rotunda of ine capitol a.t Washington han aeepentd. The jipe han become hivid. Ad out two of the hights or the chandcener above the head were extinguibhed in orcer that the enange migns appear less noticeaeie, Das every one wno vi'ewe~d thle remains remarkea the dark'esta features ann the ghastly lip. When the body was taken -away thousands were stial in line and the committee ix; charge of the arrange ments was appealed to to ailow a lur ther opportunity to view the remains -before iey are taken to the church. .aut this nad wo be reluctanuly dentie~d to them and the casket nmay never D opened again. ihe signt was profoundly imzressive as the fuineral train arew imto tme nittie station at Canton at exacey neun.

All about were the black symbols of, mourning. The approh of the train' was unheralded, 3 wuatle was biown, no beu was rung. in absolute sulence it rouled into the station. At the mere sight ot the train the people who hadl been waiting there ior nlours were greatly affected. Woman sobbed and men wept. For a full minute after it had stopped no one appeared. Judge Day ana nai committee moved siowiy cown the piat form in iront of the Iune of idieZs to the catafasque car and waited. EdA denly Abner McKinley in deep black, his face tense and drawn, appeared in the vestibule car next to that convey ing the remains and a moment later Dr. Rixey appeared half carrrying a frail and broken form. It was Mrs. McKinley arrayed in the deepest mourning. Beneath the heavy black veil she held her handkerchief to her eyes and her slight figure shook con vulsively. Gently she was lifted from the car and supported by Dr. lazey. arnd Abner McKinley, and was prac tically carried to a carriage in wanting at the east end of the station. The door of the carrisge was closed and Mrs. McKinley was driven hurriedly to her forlone home on North Market street, which she had left only two weeks ago with her distinguished husbarnd in tne full vigor of manhood. Col. Bingham, the president's aide, then gave direc tions for the removal of the cast from the car. The cooic was too le to be taken through the door and a broad window at the side was n screwed and removed. While this a going on, the noral pieces aside wen carefully lifted out and placed upon the ground at the side of the track. When all was ready the soldiers and sailors whohad ecom;a'Ied there Mains ahhe way in m Butalemcrged trom ttc car sna took up Ohe r p aces. nio sahLers e an. d t aca arm ar~d at therie ! -he bo:y beirers ,ro bCrmed an: u nar=ed . 3ean urI , Vz nae-:t1bvt with his brr.i, Cst.

The sad procession was then formed, it was LeadEd by C i. B:4, in full uniform, a ow of crepe at the hiit ot his snea~ea sword. Following and immad:steiy preening the eastet was the icc.i committee headed by Judge Day. Then came the soldiers and saliers. Slowly they moved down the plItform to the turn at the west ern end of the station whera the presi dent and cabinet stood. A3 they reached the head of this line a clear drawn bugle cail sounded a silver re quiem. Bezore the president and cabi Let and the Unio cfeials the coffin was then borne to the nearse. When it had been placed inside the president and the cffieal party entered carriages. Meantime, Admiral Dewey, Lieut. Gen. Miles and the other Lugh officers of the amy and ravy who compose the guard of honor had moved around the east ide of the station. They also entered carriages and took their place in the larger procession that was now form ing. Al were attired in the fall uni form of their ranks. They were fairly ablaz. with gold iace. The shrillness f the bugles had given tne first sign to the waiting multitude outside the sttion that tne casket was approach ng, ins:antly tho long lines of aol lers became rigid, standing at present irms. The black horses of the Cleve .ad troupe immediately facing the :Eation,. stood motionless, their riders Nith sabres lowered. Slowly through he entrance came the stalwart soldiers knd sailors with solemn tread bearing oft the flag-covered coffia of the man :ey loved so well. As it came into riew, a great sigh went up from the iense throng. After the first glance many of the men and women turned way to hide their emotions, which they sould not restrain. When the caskes Lad been consigned to the hearse, three moun ted trumpeters gave signal for the nelncholy procsasion to move. A mo nent later the so-ind of "Nearer, My ad, to Thee," floated through the air is the Grand Army veterans with their and swung into line and took up the march toward the court nouse.

Four detactments of miliu were marced into the hall and drawn up in a line reaching from~ the entrance on the south side to the bier. Another line stretched from the bier to the place where the hail diverged and down each side of the hail were other lines. Strict crders were given to see that there was no delay in the crowd as ia passe d out of the building. When everything was ready for the neople to enter, Jos.

Many of the people as they oc ked upon tte face of their dead friend wtom they ht.d seen but two weeks ago in full heahn, caught their breaza at the .change that was there. The president's face was much thinner than tLey had expected it would be and the sight that met their eves shocked tihem greauy. The crowd was admitted four abreast, passing to the right and left of the casket by twos. No delay was permitted and all through the afternoon the cro-Ad pass ed tne catalfaque approximately at the rate of 100 every minute, making in the five bours in which the body lay in state, a total of 30,000 people, praci cally a number equal to tMe population of Canton When the doors were closed at 6 o'clock, the line, four abreast, stretchea fully one mile from the court house and peDple were stid coming from side streets to take their places in line. At 6 o'clock the doors were closed to the public and preparations made for removing the body to the McKinley resndence on North MNIrket strees, sev eral squares from the court house.

Arriving at the house the es cort formed is line in the streets, pre senting armr while the coffin borne by the body bearers was taken into the house, It was placed in the front par lor. Guards were posted around the house at .ight and a number of sentries were placed in the front yard. LAID TO URST. With majestic solemnity, surrounded by his countryman and his townspeople in the presence of the president of the United States, the oshnet, justices of the United Sates supreme ojart, sena tora and representatives in congress, the heads of the military and naval es tablishments, the governors of States and a great concOurse of people who na known and loved him, all that is mortal of Wm McKinley the third presi dent to fall by an assassin's bullet was committed to the grave Thursday. It was a spectacle of mournful grandeur. anton ceased to be a town and swelled to the proportions of a great city. From every city and hamles in Orio, from the remote corners of the south and from the east and west. the human tide fiawed into the town until 100.000 people were within its gates, there to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. The Anal scenes at the First Metho ist church where the funeral service was held and tne beautiful West Lawn cemetery, where the body was consign ed to a vault were simple an impress ive. The service at the church consist ed of a brief oration, prayers by the ministers of three denominations and inging by a quartette. The body was then taken to Vest Lawn cemetery and placed in a receiving vault pending the tame when it will be finally laid to rest beside the dead children wno were bur ied years ago. The funeral procession was very imposing and included not only the representatives of army and navy of the Jaited States but the en tire military s.irength of the State of dhio and hundireas of civio, fraternal and other organisations. 1, was -two iles lonmg.

To prevernt a cow from kicking while being miiked, tie a rope or strap, as tight as necessary around her body in Iront of her udder and in front of the left, and behind the right haunch or hipbone. If this and kind treatment il not in a few days cause her to quit her kicking habit, as in a few rare cases it will not, do not beat her as has generally been the practice, but remove Lhe strap after first drawing the milk, and touch her legs with the end of a stik, this will cause her to kiek and keep her kicking by repeated touches until she has faily made up her mind that her legs were not made for kick ing, which will not take many minutes, but first of all make sure you are not the cause of the kicking habit. If you are, reform yourself and not the cow. Bryan's Tribute. A. tribute from William J. Bryan to the dead president was given to the As sociated Press Wednesday. It says: "As the President's Death overwhelms all in a common sorrow, so it imposes a common responsibility, namely; To so avenga the wrong done to the presi dent, his family arid the country, as to make the executive life secure witheut abridgement of the freedom of speech or freedom of the press." HALF AND HALF. The New President's Mother a Southern Woman, HIS FATHER A NEW YORKER. He Has Many Near Relatives In Oeorgia and South Carolina, Who Fought for thei South. President Theodore Roosevelt, Pres ident of the United Stites of Americs, has gocd Georgia blood in his veins. That he is well awara of this, and in doubtless proud of it, is evident from the fact that thrcugh his Georgia an cestry President Roosevelt is a membe, of the Georgia Society of the Sons of the Revolution. In fact, through his mother, Martha Balloch, the new Pre-ident is amply supplied with Revolutionary ancestry. Not only was his great-grandfather, Ar ohibald Balloch, a member of the first Continental Congress, and the first President of the Provincial Congress of Georgia, but the other grandfather on the mother's side, Gen. Daniel Stewart, was a famous Revolutionary hero of Georgia. In addition to this his grand father, James Bulloch, was commie sioned a captain in the Virginia State garrison troops at 14 years of age and served as such until the close of the war. The Bulloch family occupied a dii tinguished place in the annals of Geo: gis and Savannah. Coming to Savan nah with his parents when a boy fro:n their-home in South, Carolina in 1750, Archibald .Bulloch studied here, was admitted to the Bar and rapidly rose fo prominence. He was elected a men ber of the General Assembly in 1768 and was appointed a member of the ommittee to correspond with Benja min Franklin, the agent of the colony in London. In 1771 he was elected Speaker of the Assembly at an exciting time, Governor Habersham having de lined to recognize Dr. Noble Wymber ley Jones, who had been three times chosen Speaker of the Assembly. Tae minutes of the Asembly with reference to this matter ivere distasteful to the Governor, and because the Assembly firmly but respectfully declined to amend them the bcdy was peremptorily dissolved. SPOUSID TEM COLONIAL CAUSN. Mr. Bulloch continued to take an ac tive part in public affairs, actively cs pousing the cause of the colonists against the home Government, and on the assembling of the "Provincial Con gress" of Georgia, July 4, 1775, he was unanimously chosen President of that body. With John Houston, No ble W. Jones, D. Lyman Hall and the Rev. Dr. Zably he was elected a dele gate to tne Continental Congress at Philadelphia. Among the relies of the Georgia Historical Society is a carefully pre served document, the original of a res olution adopted by the Continental Congress, November 9, 1775, imposing secrecy upon all the members of the Congress as to its acts and discussions. To tih is appended the name of Ar chibald Bulloch, with probably 100 others, including the otner members from Georgia. In January, 1776, Mr. Bulloch was again eltosed Presient of the Provin - ial Congress, with the added title of commaner-in-chief. He was also named as one of the delegates to the Continental Cocgress, but his duties as head of the hom~e Government prevent ed his attendance at Philadelphia and hence his name is not attached to the historie document adopted at Phriladei phis ,Jul.y 4, 1776. Such was the un settled 3endition of the times and so precarious were the affairs of the colo ny that the whole executive powers of government were entrusted to President Bulloch by resolution of the Provin ial Congress, with a coancil of five ersons of his own selection. DEATH 0Ov GCVERNOR BULLOCH. In February, 1777, President or Gov ernor Builooh died suddenly at his home inL Savanuah. His death wan a great blow to the struggling Common wealh and may account in part for the mfortmes which befell Georgia dur ing the remainder of the war.' The ]largest portrait of the several in the possession of the Georgia Histori cal Society is that of Governor Bulloch and hi: family. The portrait is the property of Dr. Joseph G. Bulloch, rormerly of Savannah, but now in the Indian service of the Government, and is loaned to the society. This portrait represents Governor Balloch asa man of splendid physigae and in the prime of life. He was only 47 years of age at his death. He is in the Continental uniform and is of commanding appear ance. On his left stands a sturdy-looking boy of about 11 years. Ja~neJ Steph ens Bulloch, the ancestor of President oosevele. Young Bulloch, who was born in 1765, was, in 1778, at 14 years of age, commissioned a captain in the Virginia State garrison troops, in the regiment of Col. Georgia Muter and was honorably retired in 1781. He re turned to Georgia and was clerk of the Inferior and Superior Courts of Chat ham County. Mrs. Bulloh is repre sented with an infant in her arms, Ar chibald Stobo. Bulloch, who became a prominent citizen. The little girl on the left is Jane Bulloch. After Governor Bulloch's death an other son was born, William Bellinger Balloh, who became United Slates distri't attorney and United States Sen Mrii. Bulloch was Mary DeVaux, the daugter of Judge DeVaux, a promi net jurist and rice planter. RO0s1VELT'8 ANCESTORS. James Stephen Bulloch first mar ried Ann Erwin, daughter of Dr. John Erwin. His second wife was Martha Elliot widow of United States Senator John iIliot, of Georgia, and daughter of Gen. Daniel Stewart, of Revolution ary fame. There were three children by eaoh marriage, Martha Balloch, who married Theodore Roosevelt, the elder, in New York, in 1853, was a daughter by the secornd marriage, and gave birth to the son who Saturday be came President If President Rcosevelt has splendid Revolutionary ancestry he also ha' some good Confederate relatives. His mother's half-brother, Capt. James B. Bulloch, wa the agent of thc Confed erate Govarnment in Lcndon and won fame for himselI by the able marner in which he rendered aid to hii Govern ment. It was largely through his efforts that the Alabama and c:hcr craisero which did such damage to Northern commerce were fitted out. A full brother of Mrs. Roosevelt, Irvine S. Bulloch, was asi:ng mr.ster aboard the Alabama, participated as such in the disastrou3 encounter with the Cearsarge and was later commis sioned a lieutenant in the Confederate navy. Doubtless President Roo3evelt had many other relatives in the Confed erate service, as the Builo-3h family connection throughout the South was very large. THE PRESIDENT S MOTHER. Martha Baulicc became acquainted with the elder Roos:velt on ore of her frequent visits to NeW York, ar d fail ing in love with the thrifty Datch-Am erican merchant-for such he was-she subsequently became his wife. Short ly after the formation of this happy union the younger Roisevelt, who was destined in later years to becom 3 one of the foremost figures in American public life, was ushered into existence. Ih'ere are hundreds of people in Georgia who remember the Vioe President's mother well, and who cherish many picasant recollections (f her. The Vice President's Georgia pro genitors sprung from the sturdy band tf New England Puritans who settled in Liberty County, Georgia, in 1752, and organizd what has eince been known in the religious traditions tf this State as old Midway Church. They came originally from Dorchester, Mass. and first settled somewhere in South Carolina. but not liking the place, they cri sed over the Savannah River aLd came into Liberty County, Georgia, where they f? und the situa tion much better. They were settlers who lived up to rigid standards cf piety and who believed in placing education second only to relition. They sent off to New Aaglard for the most efficient ministers whom they could get to serve them and among the number who came from time to time was Dr. Abiel Helmes, the father of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Dr. Holmes served the congregation of Old Midway Church from 1785 to 1791, and when he returned to his home in the North he left-many sore hearts behind him. Such was the intellect as well as the moral vigor which the congregation of Old Midway Church infused into the life of the State that from the loins of the settlers who laid its fonndation broad and deep in 1752 have sprung some of the nation's most distinguish ed men in every line of life. A SON OF THE REVOLUTION. President Roosevelt became a mem ber of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution of the State of Georgia shortly afger its organization in 1891. He had no diflioulby in showing his right to membership. Although he is a member in good standing, he uas nev er attended any of the annual mectingd of the society, though he has been twice invited to respond to toasts on theae occasions. Tne members of the eorgia Society now have hopes, how ver, of entertaining a President, who will at the same time be a member, at ne of these anniversary dinners of the att distant future.-Savannah News.

His Head Cliopped Off. The State says Frid,.y one of the first ats of the governor upon his return to te city was to chop oti the offiiai head l Constable Coleman, who has recently ben stationed in Columbia. It was regularly reported to the governor that oleman, while under order to go else where, remained in Columbia got on a d::unk and and had trouble with a local .an.

Magistrate Cornell sentenced him to Blackwell's Island for three months.

Four men were killed Friday night in a Pere Marquette freight wreck at Wayne, Mich., a small village shout 12 miles west of here. The names of but two have been learned. They are J. W.

Below is the weekly bulletin of the condition of the weather and crops of the State issued last week by Director Bauer of the South Carolina section of the climr-te and crap sorvice of the Uited S:ates weather bureau: The week ending 8 a. in., Monday, Sept. 16th, averaged nearly five do grees per day warmer than usual, ard had a maxinqum temperature of 96 de grees at Biackville on the 13th, and a minimum of 59 degrees at Greenville on the 9th. There was more than the usual amaunt of bright sunshine, and only in the extreme western portions did cloudiness prevail to any consider able extent. The winds weregenerally southwe~terly, and dried the surface of the soil to quite a taepth. Well distributed showers in the ex treme western and Dorthwestern coun ties on the 13th, at d light, very scat tered showers in the south central counties, but there was an entire ab sence of rain over the greater portion of the State until the evening of the 15th, when shoWers ccurred over the southern counties. The dry weather was favorable for haying, harvesting rice, and for pick ing cotton, but was injurious on tur nips, young cotton, fall truck, and gar dens, and all other growing crops. Cotton opened fast, except along the northern border counties, and some opened prematurely owing to rust that has increased rapidly. The hot weather induct d shedding, and stopped grzowth of young cotton. Tne crop is reported in a lees favorable condition than it was a few weeks ago, and is not as heavily fruited as it promised to be.

A dispatch from Washington says the opening of the doors of the rotunda of the capitol in order to permit of an inspection of the remaint of President McKinley caused a rush of the vast throng that had been congregated on the east side of the builaing since early morning. The result was that many women atd chidren were badly hurt. The crowd brushed by the poiice cordon stationed at the foot of the steps as if they had been chaff. A terrble con gestion on the capitol steps and at the entrance door followed. At the latter point there was Buchi extreme pressure that numbers of women fainted. Many who thus became helpless were lifted1 up bodily anit carrned out over the heads of the crowd, while others, less fortunate, were trampled under foot and seriousiy bruised. Of the latter 12 or 15 were taken into the capitol.

MciLaurin of 'loath tGarolina tells of cne intervie w he had with Mr. Mc Kinley one da during the days of the spanish war. "Thne president," says senator MciLiurin, "spoke beautifully and tenderly of the southern people, and of ho* he intended to use the power and influence of his great office to reunite our country. "I can recall the woids, but who can paint the earnestness and cloquerc3 as raising of one hand on high. he said: 'denator, by the help of God, I propose to the presi dent of the whole country, the south as mucn as tne north, and before the end of my term the south will understand this.' "No wonder, as a true southern man I loved and trusted President Mc Kinley. I stood by him in the senate and eisewhere and I thank God that I did. ''Patriotic in purpose, and pure in heart, bis noble scut is now with lm whom the hate of man nailea to the cross. Like Lincoln, who saved the country, McKinley, who reunited is, dies a martyr to envy and hate." Pretty Girl a Burglar.

It is not remarkable that from news partra and citizens of all classes in cvery part of the soutli there have come and are sil coming to many expres sions of sorrow at his death ard of pro found appreciation of his broad patriot iam. Oat of this feeling- which per vadcs the south has sprung the hearty approbation of the movement to build a monument to the lamented president in Ati %nta. In discussing this exhibi tion of affection on the part of the peo ple of the south for the late president the New Orleans Picayune says truly: "It is not a mere transient senti ment galvanzid into existence by the sad and sudden fate which overcame him; but it is the grief with which friendship and affection accept the loss of a beloved obj:et, joined to the sers3 of indignation and outrage at the atro cious erime by which this loss was in flited. 'If it is asked why the people of the south should hava held in such regard a chi, f magistrate who was a northern man and the standard bearer of a polit iest party to which the people of these states have been constantly opposed, the answer is not difficult. It was -be cause that northern man loved the south, and used his high ofice as much as he could to heal its wounds and right the wrongs under which its people had suffered. "It was through political sectional ism that the greatest wrongs and the heaviest losses had been inflicted on the people of these southern states, a,-d it was under McKinley's adminis tration that the chasm which had so long been open, like an impasseable gulf of hate, between the north and the south, was most nearly closed, and it was through his special exertions and desire that this noble work of justice and righteousness had been accomplish ed." Preiident M.Kinley in many of his public addresses proclaimed his heart felt desire that the people of the south and thoes of the north should be re united in heart and patriotic purpose, as well as in name, and it is not going too far to say that he did more than any other man to accomplish this glori ous result. At the peace jubilee in Atlantain Da comber, 1898, his speech at the capitol was not the only occasion on which President McKuiley spoke sentiments which sank deep into the hearts of- our people. To a multitude gathered at Ezposi tion park he uttered the patriotic and eloqient words: -Four years have gone since I last sw the people of Georgia in public as sembly. Much has happened in the in-, tervening time. The nation has been at war, not within its own shores, but with a foreign power-a war waged, not for aggrandizement, but for our op pressed neighbors, for freedom and amelioration, It was short but deci sive. it gave new honors to American arms. It has brought new problems to tne repubhe, whose solution will tax the genius of our people. United we will meet and solve them with honor to ourselves and to the lasting benefit of all concerned. The war brought us together, its settlement. wili keep us together. Reunited! Glorious realiza tion! It expresses the thought of my mind and the long-deferred consumma tion ofrmy heart's desire as I stand in this presenoe. it interprets the hearty demonstration here witnessed, and is tue patrnotic refrain of all sections and of aui lovers of the republic. "Reunited-one country again and one country forever! Proclaim it from the pres and pulpit; teach it in the schools; write in across the skies! Ihe world sees and feels it; in cheers every eart xiorai ano. south, an4 brightens he life of every American home. L at nthing over strain in again! An peace wath all the worid and with one an other, what can stand in the pathway of our progress and prosperity?'' Killed for His Words. The captain of a small oyster sloop, which has been deedging in the upper hesapeare, ann which arrived at Norfois:, Saturday,informed the Associ aed Press correspondent that shortly after P'resident McKinley was shot a oie appeared at Bivaive, Mid., and secured a place as hand on a sloop whose master is named George Howeil. T 'he man was fairly well dressed and was educated. He told the cysnermen that he omne from a good family but was cut off from them with a smali al lowance. 'The day after the president died a passenger on a passing steamer threw a newspaper oantaining an ac count of the death aboard the sloop. The Pole secured in and while the crew wee waiting for him to read them the story, he exclaimed: "Goo:1,, and Tday willb be the next in a short time." he crew set upon him and severely beat him, rendering him unconscious. The captain and mate intervened, but later, when the master had, gone aft, the crew picked the unbonscious form up and threw it overboard. Mobbed Him Twice. Geo. Bradshaw, the carpenter who was mobbed in Oklahoma City for re fusing to walk under ehe American flag in the McKinley parads, was carried to Gathrie Friday morning and placed in the Logan county jail for protection. While in jail Bradshaw said: "I am an anarchist. Oklahoma City is made up of hoodlums. If this is a free coun try, a man has a right to say what he thinks. This is not a free country, the powers are subsidized. No, Czolgosz s not an anarchist; he is a nihilist or insane. He will never be executed; mark my words." That Bradshaw has plenty of courage was proven when he returned to Oklahoma City at 10 o'clock Friday night, after having been run out by the mob during the day.

Sis ter Ship Wrecked Sometime Ago. A dispatch from London says the torpedo boat destroyer, Cobra, has foundered in the North sea, the result of an explosion. The ship was en route from the yard of her builders. the Armstrongs of New Castle, to Portsmouth, and carried 42 naval men and 35 men in the employ of the con tractors. Twelve men were saved and it is believed that they are the only survivors. Five boats were launched after the Cobra struck, but some of them were swamped in the heavy sea whion was running at the time. The 'frat intimation of the disaster was the arrival of a aMng boat as Yarmouth with six bodies whichshe had picked up in the vicinity of the spot where the Cobra was last seen. - According to the fishermen the Cobra was sighted .-by the lightship ofE Dow sing Sands Thursday morning envelop ed in steam and she shortly afterwards disappeared. The men on the light ship supposed the Cobra had sailed away until the evening when they ob served bodies floating in the water and signalled to the fishing boat to inveati gate the disaster. A dispatch from Middlesboro says 12 survivors of the crew of the Cobra were landed there and confirm the irst report that all the others were drowned The British admialty has received in formation that the explosion occurred after the Cobra strua a rook and that she sank immediately. The Cobra, like her sister boat, the Viper, was a turbined engined vessel. She had just left the yard of hercontractors and was undergoing a boiler test. &bout one year ago the torpedo boat destroyer Cobra beat the record of the Viper and won the title of the fastest vessel in the world. The,record of the* Viper, which was afterwards wrecked, was 43 miles an hour, while the Cobra in an unofficial trial over the same course as snat sailed by. tie Viper, at the mouth of the Tyne, made 37.7 knots or 43.5 miles. Tue Cobra was an exact auplicase of the Viper. Corrected figures as to the Cobra showed that she had 79 souls on board. For 67 no hope is held out, but torpedo boats and cruisers have gone as fill speed to the - scene of tne diate, which is the most serious since the sinking of the Victoria. Lieut. Boa worth Smith, the Cobra's commander stood upon the bridge with his ams folded as impressive as if on parade and went down. with the vessel. Made to Move.
