The uproar was at Its height when a doxen suffragettes, recently released from prison, divested them selves trf their outer wraps nnd ap peared in their Jail garb. This exhi bition acted on the sisterhood like a red rag on a bull. Megaphones and hells were brought Into use snd the rotso became deafening. The stew ards lost their tempers, and as they i-ontlnued to throw nut the demon- -tratanta the clornes of many of the women were torn off. Finally the opposition became worn mt and Mr. I.loyd-Oeorpe was able :.i proceed with .nly an occasional interruption. He assured his audlen f 8.009 that there was a majority In the cabinet and in the liberal party lit favor of woman suffrage and that a suffrage clause would be Included In the government's franchise bill, which, however, could not be Intro duced until the ere of the dissolution of parliament.

Although the Yankee's position and condition are most un favorable, It Is the opinion among wrecker and naval office that her raising will prove a much less diffi cult undertaking here than waa her freeing tyrom the Hen and Chicken ledge.

The cruller did not link at one. Cap tain James T. McAllister, who wa In charge of the marine end of th wrecking work, warned the member of the wrecking crww to leave the ship. All but six of the 2 men left. SEVEN DROWNED OFF NOVA SCOTIA Barge (Joes Down With All Her Crew in Boisterous Sea. (By Associated ris.) HH ELHUHNK, N. H,, Dec. 6.
