COMPETING POWERS NOTIFIED Any Attempt on Their Part to Estab- 41 ( lish a Naval Base or Fortified Post In Those Waters Will Mean War With Great Britain. I ondon. May 6.—Foreign Secretary Lilnsdowne has proclaimed a British Monroe doctrine in the Persian gulf and has practically notified the com- •"if peting powers that any attempt on their part to establish a naval base or fortified post in those waters means war with Great Britain. "I say. without hestitation," said the foreign secretary, dealing with the sub ject in Uie house of loids yesterday evening, "that we should regard the establishment of a naval base or a fortified port in the Persian gulf by any other pow-er as a very grave men ace to British interests, and we should certainly resist it with all the means at our disposal.” Lord Lansdowne preceded this ex plicit enunciation of British policy by a review of the situation there, as it aftected British interests, contending that sA far as the navigation of the Persian gulf was concerned. Great Britain held a position different from the others, both because it w ? as owing to British enterprise and expenditure of life and money, that the gulf was now open to the commerce of the world, and because the protection of the sea route to India necessitated British predominance in the gulf. Lord Lansdowne’s attitude in this matter generally meets with approval, although the answers thereto of the other powers interested in the gulf are awaited with some anxiety. The newspapers here comment on the anal ogy of the present proceeding w'hich Captain Mahan so strongly recom mended to the United States policy of Monroeism. The Westminster Gazette hold* that the British motive, namely, the pro tection of the sea route to India, cor responds exactly with the American’s motive in excluding European powers from the American w r aters because their territory is thereby threatened. IN PERILOUS POSITION. Crew of Fishing Brig Rescued by a Passing Steamer. New York, May 6.—Twenty-three 0 aurvivors of the crew of 20 of the French fishing brig Ille de Terre Neuve of St. Zervean, France, arrived here today on the German-American patro- leum company’s steamer Phoebus, from Hamburg. The Ille de Terre Neuve w r as swept by a hurricane on April 20 and seven of her men wash ed overboard. Of these, four were res cued and three drowmed. On the 26th the wreck was sighted by the Phoebus, and the survivors were taken on board the steamer with much difficulty and the brig was set on fire. Captain Schierhorst, of the Phoebus, says that at 3 o’clock of the morning of April 14 a flare of light was sighted dead ahead, evidently a signal of dis tress. The Phoebus bore down and found a small dismasted sailing vessel which proved to be the Ille de Terre Neuve, listed heavily to port, rolling frightfully, with the seas washing over her. The condition of the crew appeared very dangerous, and they were seen grouped on the after part of the ves sel. A life boat was sent to the wreck to which a line was passed. Some of the crew jumped into the sea and were hauled into the boat and brought to the steamer. When the second trip was made daylight broke and the work proceeded rapidly. Sev eral trips were made, the captain be ing the last to leave. He maintained strict discipline throughout the trans fer and set fire to the wreck before leavkng. MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.

Remarks of Arthur Mills of School of Social Economy. New York. May 6.—At a meeting held under the auspices of the Social ist Literary society Arthur Mills, of Kansas City, principal of the Interna tional School of Social • Economy, speaking of the manufact/jrers versus the trades unions, declared the work ingmen would never be able to resist the power of the Manufacturers’ asso ciation by strike and boycott. It boasted that it would go to Washing ton and the workingmen would have to go there, too. If the New York workingmen, however, would vote Jor themselves at home they would not have to send any lobbyists to Wash ington. One of these days a working man would be president and they would have their own mayor and governor. He continued: "The Manufacturers’ association has come none too soon. It represents, as it claims to do, the greatest combi nation of employers the world has ever known. It is pledged to the destruc tion of the power of trades unions and to complete control of the powers of state for the private benefit of the employers of labor. It boasts that it is open and defiant, secret when that method is most effective and at all times relentless in its warfare. The Manufacturers association claims to favor the liberty of the individual worker, but the fact is that the work er is utterly without economic liberty except as secured by his organization and in spite of—not with the help— of his employers.’’ PEEPING TOM PUNISHED.
