TWEXTY-NIXE LIVES LOST. List of Sailors Supposed to Have Been Drowned. New York, Oct. 2.?There was given out at the battleship New l Hampshire to-night a list of 29 men ? who were supposed to have perished f by the swamping of a barge or whale ? boat which was being towed to the j vessel at anchor in the Hudson river j last night. Appended to the list are ? the names of IS men who are still t absent but who were not recognized ? as having been in the swamped boat. r Capt. Thomas S. Rogers, in com- g mand of the New Hampshire, gave ? out the list with this brief introduc- v tion: "The following is the list of the men missing from yesterday's liberty g party, who are thought to have been in the boat that swamped last night." a Only two Southern men are in the c list. They are: A. Mampley, coal a passer, Richmond, Va., and M. T. c Seals, electrician, first-class, Colum- v bus, Ga. a "It is not certain," comments Capt. Rodgers, "that these men were lost, as two of them originally on the list ^ returned to-day." f All day police boats dotted the i cove in the river above west One ^ Hundred and fifty-seventh street, q their crews grappling for bodies. s But their efforts were without sue- t cess, not one body was recovered. Old river men said they were not sur- t prised, as when the accident occur- g red, they declared, the tide was run- r ning up stream like a mill race with f a brisk wind out of the southwest n puhsing it along at even a faster clip, q This would take the bodies far beyond the scene of the disaster and p possibly it will be several days before b any more are found. b Midshipman Chevalier, who was in t charge of the swamped boat and who n collapsed after saving 12 men, is still shaken after the extreme mental and a physical strain. g R. Karl, one of the men supposed r to be drowned, is credited with hav- b ing saved four men. Karl was a big b husky fellow and a good swimmer. s In the water he held up two men e until two life preservers came his c way. He gave these to the weaker two and then swam around and found d two other men who were exhausted c and sinking. These two he held up n until they were picked up by a boat, y Still, reeardless of his own safety, he c did not attempt to get aboard for fear of overloading it. Nobody seems to n have seen him afterwards. The ac- o count of his bravery was given by his |||C'-'vV shipmates. r Cotton Ginned to Sept. 25. ^ ? i Washington, Oct. 3.?The census bureau's cotton report issued today shows 2,302,211 bales, counting c round ^ half bales, were ginned from e the growth of 1910 to September 25 ^ as compared with2,568,150 for 1909; ^ 2,590,639 for 1908 and 1,532,607 for j 1907.

Insel, Parker and Lever are Now Mentioned. That B. R. Tillman will not seek selection to the United States Senite is practically assured. Close riends of the United States Senator ,ay that his health will not permit his eturn to active politics.. Those who tave visited Senator Tillman recently rive the opinion that he is preparing o retire on his Trenton farm. It can ilmost positively be stated that he is hrough with politics in this State, iccording to intimate friends. Senior Tillman's health, however, is 'ery much improved. Naturally the question follows: 'Who will go to the United States Senate to succeed B. R. Tillman." There have been many names sug:ested for the Dlace and many hanges in South Carolina politics re liable to take place in the space if two years. There is an effort to mild up several political possibilities .long this line. Will Ansel Run? Among those who have been menioned as likely to declare themselves or the position are Gov. M. F. Ansel, L F. Lever, congressman from this Listrict. and Lewis W. Parker, of Ireenville. These named have not aid positively that they would conest for senatorial honors yet. Gov. Ansel has stated that he in ended to go back to Greenville when ie leaves the office of governor and esume the practice of law. He was or many years solicitor in the Piedmont section and has a broad acuaintance. Gov. Ansel is not a man to talk olitics and has never intimated .hat e would follow the game after leavag the office of the chief executive of he State. Yet he is one of those mentioned. Lewis W. Parker is the best known nd one of the most capable mill ofcers in the country. He has been a emarkable success in everything that e has undertaken. His name has een mentioned many times for the enatorship because it is believed that ventually the political fever will atch him. A. F. Lever, congressman from this istrict, is also mentioned as possible andidate for the position. He has ever made a statement but two ears ago was mentioned and was onsidered a dangerous opponent. There are others who mieht hp lentioned, R. Goodwyn Rhett, mayor f Charleston, being among them. The contest is two years away and ight for the position.?Columbia tate. ^ Interesting Case in Court. Columbia, Sept. 29.?The circuit ourt of Charleston has been reversd in a peculiar and interesting case y the supreme court in an opinion ritten by Associate Justice Woods, 'he case decided was that of the outhern Seating and Cabinet comany against the First National bank f Charleston. The question of two hecks was involved. Bishop H. P. 'orthrop was indebted to the Southrn Seating and Cabinet company to tie extent of $500. He sent a check d the company of payment of that mount on the First National bank, he check was never presented. He iter wrote another check upon reuest .of the furniture company for 500 to be paid, the amount of the rst check to be refunded should it ver be presented. Although Bishop [orthrop had $5,000 on deposit in tie bank, the second check was reused. The case was carried to the ircuit court and the bank was suslined in its contention. The case as then anDealed to the snnrpmo ourt with the result that the ciruit court's decision is reversed. Lawyer Drinks Poison. Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 26.? Immett Blackmore, 24 years old, lember of a leading eastern North 'arolina family and an attorney of -enoir, N. C., committed suicide toay by drinking carbolic acid, his ody being found in his room at Leoir with a note stating his purpose, ut assigning no reason for the deed, 'he body was shipped to his old ome at Warsaw, N.

DIES AFTER TWO-MILE CHASE. Pursued Through a Swamp, Overtaken Too Late. After a chase of more than twc miles through a dense woodland, George Hendrickson of Bennett's mill, who fled in a delirium from his home, was captured to-night by his brothers in a nearby swamp. .Mr. Hendrickson had been ill for some time from | an abscess on the brain and was delirious at times. In one of these attacks he made his escape, followed by his two brothers. He led them a lively chase through woods studded with a thick growth of underbrush and over fields, until he took refuge in a big swamp, about two miles from the house. His brothers overtook him, and in the struggle to lead him home Jean Hendrickson was felled by a club in George's hand. The struggle, however, together with the long flight and the exposure, combined to weaken him and he was finally taken back home. He sank rapidly and died.?Lakewood, X. J., special to New York Times. Tillman Astonished at Bryan. Trenton, Oct. 2.?Senator B. R. Tillman, when at his farm near here was asked for an expression of his opinion in regard to Mr. Bryan's bolt of the Democratic Gubernatorial candidate in Nebraska. He said: "I am astonished and must say somewhat disgusted and grieved at Mr. Bryan's action. He was the victim of the bolters among Democrats in 1898, and very just he has held them up to scorn and has not hesitated to express his feelings at their treachery. His action in bolting the Democratic nominee in Nebraska, forever silences him on the subject of his own betrayal; and this it too bad, just when things seem to be coming our way politically. "A Democratic House of Representatives is almost a certainty, and a Democratic President next time a very promising probability. It is too bad, and in my opinion, ends Mr. Bryan's political career." Attempts to Poison Children. Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 1.?After endeavoring to murder her three small children. Mrs. James S. Mann; the young wife of a Cherry Hill, Lancasn ter county farmer, to-day committted suicide by shooting herself through the head. The cause of her murderous action is not known. Mrs. Mann, who was only 20 years old, poured carbolic acid into milk and gave it to the children. She then took a dose of the poison herself and went into the field to bid her husband goodbye. * Seeing she was ill, he ran for a physician,.and as he returned, accompanied by the doctor, he saw his wife with a double barrelled shotgun on the lawn. She f-Vi/i mii-T7]a tn Vior Vl AO H anH piacuu tuv ujuciai^ n/ uvi v%MM pulled the trigger, falling dead. The doctor immediately turned his attention to the children, a boy of three years, a girl of two years and a girl baby of two weeks and succeeeded in saving their lives. Used Hatchet on Negro's Head. In a row that arose over a woman, John Baker, a negro, 68 years old cleft the skull of John Woodson, another negro, many years his junior, with a hatchet last night about 8 o'clock. Woodson was taken to the Taylor-Lane hospital in a dying condition. Baker made his escape. The affair occurred on Liberty Hill at a house where Baker, Woodson and the woman, whose name could not be learned, lived. At least three hours elapsed between the time the fight took place and the notification of R. D. Walker, coroner. By the time he arrived on the scene. Baker and the woman both had departed for parts unknown. Mr. Walker took the dying declaration of Woodson, which, in brief, was that he and Baker had fought over the woman and that Baker struck him with a hatchet. The wound, which is expected to prove fatal, is on the left side of the negro's head, just back of the ear. An operation was performed last night at the Taylor-Lane hospital in a desperate attempt to save his life. Woodson is a paper hanger by trade, while Baker, the old negro, who used the hatchet, is a carpenter. ?Sunday's Columbia State. Will Ilun If Health Allows. Trenton, Oct. 2.?"If my health continues to improve I expect to be a candidate for the United States Senate in 1912, otherwise not. All will depend on how I stand the work in Washington when I go there in December" This statement, given to the Associated Press to-night by United States Senator Benj. R. Tillman, disposes of the recent persistent rumors that because of failing health the senior South Carolina Senator had decided to retire from public life at the end of his present term in the senate. For all the news all the time read The Herald. * MIXERS PERISH. . One Hundred and Fifty Entombed in Mine at Paula, Mexico. Eagle Pass, Oct. 1.?One hundred and fifty miners, possibly more, are entombed and believed to be dead in mine No. 2, at Paula, .Mexico, in the T.ae rcnar!in70c miniricr HictriVt nn erated by the National Railway lines of Mexico, as a result of two ex_ plosions, presumably because of an accumulation of gas last night and early to-day. The men entombed are mostly native and Japanese miners, although the victims are said to ini elude several Americans. At the time of the explosion the | entire night shift, estimates as the number varying from 150 to 3,000. were all at work. Of these none had I reached the surface at a late hour ' to-da>. In all probability all are dead. The second explosion occurred . shortly after a rescue party had descended. That this was killed is thought certain. However, information reaching here is not official. No official state ment has been issued. William Hollis, mineral agent for the government railway, under whose supervision the mines are conducted, has proceeded to the mines. Paula is located near the town of Musquiz in the State' of Coahuila. An explosion occurred in the same mine a year ago. several hundred Mexican and Japanese miners losing their lives at the time. JACKIES DROWN. Estimates of Number Dead Vary From Three to Thirty. New York, Oct. 1.?Several sailors from the battleship New Hampshire were drowned by the upsetting of a tender in the North River off 152nd street to-night. Estimates of the dead vary from three to as high as twelve and possibly 30, but as no official count had been made of the number aboard the tender and as many men have shore leave it was impossible to accurately fix the list of missing to-night. The sailors were returning to the New Hampshire after shore leave and more than one hundred of them it is estimated, had crowded aboard the tender, which was being towed , to the battleship. About 300 feet off shore the craft either swamped or was upset and the entire load of jackies was precipitated into the water. Boats were immediately put out from the New Hampshire and whereever a bobbing head showed a man was resucued but in the darkness several sank and others were almost unconscious when dragged to safety. On board the New Hampshire 61 with wet clothes were counted, indicating merely that sixty-one had been saved and leaving blank a more serious gap of possible dead. As 250 men from the ship had shore leave to-night there was no way of ascertaining just how many were aboard the tender. Several sailors who were in the upset tender hesitate to estimate the number lost, although those inclined to take a more serious view of the affair placed the list as high as thirty; others refused to be committed. No information could be obtained aboard the New Hampshire. The men who were rescued were hustled below and the officer on deck said that an estimate of the dead was out of the question to-night. Midshipman Godfrey de Chevalier who had charge of the tender, was taken from the water unconscious and is in the ' ' - " 1 ' Ti ?_ snips nospuai.

The New Hampshire, with her sister of the North Atlantic fleet, is anchored in the Hudson in the northern part of this city, having arrived at New York this week after target practice off Hampton Roads. Rear Admiral Schroder on the Connecticut and Rear Admiral Vreeland on the Louisiana, both agreed that it would be impossible to tell how many men had been drowned until nine o'clock roll call to-morrow morning. Neither of them would comment on the accident. Fail to Reacli Agreement. Tampa, Fla., Sept. 26.?Following a conference between a committee front the cigar manufacturers and the joint advisory committee of the cigarmakers this afternoon, a statement was issued to the effect that the proposition made by the striking cigar makers was not satisfactory. They were willing to waive a recognition of the union, but insisted on having a union collector on the floor. The manufacturers maintain that this is tantamount to a closed shop.
