There is to be an Investigation by the board of directors of the state prison at Raleigh to ascertain the cause of recent escapes by convicts from that institution. That this investigation will be thorough Is certain, and It is not at all improbable that some inter esting developments may be brought to light. It is openly hinted that the convicts were aided in their escape from prison by some one outside, or that guards connived at their escape. When asked to-day whether there would be an investigation of this mat ter, J. P. Kerr, who is a member ot the board of directors, replied, "Yes, there will be an investigation, and it will be speedy and thorough. AIRSHIP GOES OFF Spencer Makes a Good Start With His Yellow Silk Affair London, Sept. 17. Many thousands of business men stopped in the streets and the roofs of buildings were crowded with spectators watching the long projected attempt of Spencer, the aeronaut, to sail his airship from the Costal Palace in Sydenham, around St. Paul's cathedral and over miles of the densely built portion of South Lon don. He started at 3:30 from the roof of an fflce building. His alrsbjp was a great cigar-shaped vessel of yellow silk, with a pendant car containing a propeller. Spencer's movements were easily visible to the crowd below. He started in a southwest breeze and at 6 o'clock the wind seemed to be drawing him rapidly to the northward.. - The air ship, howeven, at times rose to such a great height that the posi tion relatively of Gt. Paul's or any other landmark could hardly be ascer tained. It could be seen that when he was high above the aeronaut was try ing to turn the vessel, but although he succeeded in deflecting somewhat from the direct course which he had taken In obedience to the wind, he failed In the principal maneuver. The machine would not choss the wind or sail against it and drifted away at the mercy of the breeze like an ordinary balloon. It was soon lost to sight, but finally descended safely at New Bar rett.

Prince Chlng seems to regard the de- jmands Indifferently, but. upon a recon- result that there will be a prolongation of the Russian occupation of Maruchu rla. Officers of the Russian legation al ready boast that October 8 will not witness the promised evacuation of New Chwang. The tardiness of the United States In this Instance in warn ing China against accepting the de mands is criticised and is accepted as evidence that Russia's consent to open two Manehurian ports has eliminated America as a factor In the contention for the open door, the Integrity of the empire and other questions pertaining to Manchuria. GREAT RESOURCES Touch of Humor in the Alas kan Boundary Argument London. Sept. 17. Upon the resump tion of the Alaskan boundary argu ments before the International tribu nal today Attorney General Finlay en tered Into a lengthy discussion as to what constituted the southern boun- dary.

AWOKE TO DIE - Two Men Slept; Under a Box ; Car and Were Mangled by the Wheels Greensboro, N. C, Sept. 17. Special. About daylight this morning when the crew "of a work train prepared to get out of a siding near the Gate City furniture factory they were horrified to see the mangled bodies of two white men. Coroner Turner was summoned and an investigation showed that an irquest was not necessary. The facts, so far as he was able to learn were that the two men were seen in the streets yesterday, one of them carrying a tln"v box on which was printed " the word "Signs," while the other carried a leather grip. Towards dark they wefe seen again in the neighborhood of the furniture factory and both were perceptibly under- the Influence of liquor. Soon after this they crawled under a box car on the siding. The car was moved during the night when the work train took the siding. The head of one was cut off and death was instantaneous. The other Mas bruised and mangled all over, a wound in the rhoulder causing dpath in a few min utes. Dr. Turner examined their' be longings and found from union that the name of one was O. F. cards Gates and the other Charles Gates. They were painters and the cards were is sued from Cincinnati. A pint bottle of liquor, almost full, was found at the place where the men were lying, while another entirely i empty had been thrown out by th4f side of the track. It was rainlnsr all yesterday and the men sought the plaice to keep dry. The bodies were baried by the Southern Hallway people.

One Sailor Alone Lived to Tell the Tale of tjie Disaster Norfolk. Va., Sept. 17. The British steamship Mexicana turned turtle at i sea Tuesday night oft! the Florida coast, ; and of her officers and twenty-five men none escaped iPave one, who told In Norfolk this- morning in Spanish the story of the capsize. Domingo Reyarberay is the name of the seaman who was strangely saved from death to tell the story of the loss of the Mexicana. He was brought in here by the British steamship Rokeby, the master of which, Captain Shields, found him at sea off Hatteras yter day wearing a life belt and bestriding a piece of the Mexlcana's bridge. The Spaniard, through an interpreter, told of the Mexicana's sinking. The steamer was bound from Tamplco for Vera Cruz with a cargo of petroleum in bulk, when the full force of the hur ricane broke upon her. Moutainous seas broke constantly over the ship, and finally one gigantic wave crashed through her decks. The fireToom was flooded, and the Mexicana became help less. For a few moments she wallowed in the -trough of the seas, and then plunged to the bottom. The rescued man says that hundreds of grallons of oil were poured over the ship's side- in a vain attempt to calm ' tne sea, and. if porsible, save the ship. "When the steamer went down the crew went with her. All the boats had long since been crushed by force of the waves, and the men were powerless to save themselves. Reyarberay went under with the ves sel and by the merest chance became , entangled in some loose rigging and spars. The buoyancy of these brought him to the surface and he made him self fast to the largest spar. For seven hours he floated in the turbulent sea until finally the Rokeby hove in sight. His rescue was a daring one. fttx. ."Wore ! tied New York, Sept. 17. The steamer Vidar, which arrived at quarantine to day, brought in six of the crew of the Mexicana. A thrilling story of the res cue of those was told by the captain of the Vidar, when she arrived at quarantine. Each man was found float ing on a piece of wreckage. One of the survivors, a Finn, in telling the story of the ship's loss, said: "We were on the bridge with the of ficers and jumped overboard just as the scanner went down. Just before I heard two pistol shots. I think some of the officers shot themselves, pres ferring that death to drowning. ROOKS FROM ROWAN A San Francisco Concern Orders Large Quantities of Granite Salisbury, N. C, Sept. 17 Special. A San Francisco concern has contract ed for a large Vamount of Rowan' granite to be cut and shipped to that city for use in large engine beds, this granite having been pronounced superior to any to be found nearer the great western city. This fact Is a strong testimony to the high grade of North Carolina granite. The granite is now being pre pared at the Wyatt quarry, about six miles from Salisbur3r. The supply is said to be almost without limit. STEAMBOAT BURNED Freight Depot at 'Elizabeth City Also Destroyed Elizabeth City, N. C, Sept. 17.

From line Cabinet The Colonial Secretary's Pro tective and Preferential Tariff Ideas to Be Urged From an Independent Position London, Sept. 17. The following an nouncement, which puts a sensational and unexpected end to the conflicting speculations of the past few days was Issued fspm the prime minisTer s rest dence tonight: "10 Dowincr street. The following ministers have tendered their reslgna- tions which have been accepted by the king: The Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamber lain, M. P.; the Rt. Hon. C. T. Ritcnie, M. P., and the Rt. Hon. Lord George Hamilton, M. P." At the same time this brief statement was issued the following correspond ence between Mr. Chamberlain ana Prime Minister Balfour was givenNout: "Highbury, Birmingham, - -Sept7-9. 1903. "My Dear Balfour: In anticipation of the important cabinet which is to meet Monday, I have most carefully consid ered the present situation as it affects the government and also the great question of fiscal reform. When you, in replying to a deputation on the corn tax, and I. in addressing my con stituents at Birmingham, called atten tion to the changes that had taken place in our commercial position dur ing the last fifty years, and suggested an inquiry into the subject, I do not think either of us intented to prvoke a purely party controversy. We raised, not for the first time, a question of the greatest Rational imperial im portance, in the hope that it would be discussed with a certain impartiality by both its friends and opponents and that the inquiry thus initiated might lead to conclusions that would be ac cepted by the majority of the people of this country, and represented accord ingly in the results of the next general election. Whether our view ras rea sonable or not it . was certainly not shared by the "leaders of the Liberal party. From the first they scouted the idea that a system which was genera ally accepted in 184t could possibly re quire any modification in 1903 and the whole resources of the party organiza tion were brought to play against any attempt to alter or even to inquire into the foundations of our fiscal policy. Storm Beat Furiouslv at Delaware Breakwater Vessels Sunk and Sailors DrownedBoats Smashed to Pieces on the Rocks of the Maine Coast Dover, Del., Sept. 17. It is not known how many seafaring men were drowned off the government's great harbor of refuge in the unprecedented storm which just subsided at noon to day. Two crews of five men ach are missing and are supposed to have gone down with their vessels. A captain and four 'seamen of one vessel'an an engineer and two firemen of other ves sels are missing. The eight seamen known to have been lost were from the Philadelphia tug Spartan and the new schooner Hat- tie Marsh. The Mash was driven in side the harbor and washed against the great stone pile. The Spartan was overturned, going to the bottom, with out leaving a trace. Her engineer and two firemen went down with her. Capt. E. B. Chandler rode the sea for thirteen hours on a rude log until he was picked up fifteen miles out, at sea by an English oil tanker and was transferred to the pilot boat Philadel phia, bound inward. The . Spartan's first mate, Horace Nelson, also drifted out to sea for eight hours, when he was lifted out of the water like a dead man, and raised to the deck of ihe tug Lykels. Life saving station men worked an hour with the drowning crew of the schooner Sea Bird, bound for Hampton Roads, and every man was saved. Three steam barges of the Reading railroad are sunk near the new break water. Their crews struggled to the towing tug- boat Tamaqua and were saved. ' , Many seamen were maimed for life in the death dealing hurricane. An drew Smith, seaman of the bark Olo way. was brought ashore mius a foot, which had been caught in the lee rail. The tug Somers N. Smith saved the foundering bark Essex, bound to Phil adelphia from Savannah. The" fish ing schooners Vincent and Anglesa and Irene of Atlantic City are the two miss ing vessels which are believed to have sunk with their crews of five men each. Captain Gillingrham of the Queen "Meanwhile the advocates of recon sideration were at a great disadvan tage, owing to the admitted d!fTenenoe of opinion in the Unionist party. The political organisation of the partyvwera paralyred and our opponents have had full possession ofthe field. They hav placed In the forefront of their argu menJtatheir objections to the taxation.' of food" and even to any readjustment! of existing taxation with - a view of securing mutual advantage to ourselve and our colonies and a closer union Of the different parts 8f the tmplne. A somewhat unscrupulous use has; been made of the old cry of the dear loaf; and in the absence of any full publlaf discussion I recognize that serious pre judice has been created and that, while the people generally are alive to the danger of unrestricted competition on the part of thce foreign countrlesi which close their markets) to us while finding in our market an outlet for . their surplus production, they have not' yet appreciated the Importance to our, trade of colonial markets nor the dan ger of losing them if we do not meet in some wny thejr natural, patriotic desire for preferential trade. "The result is that, for the present at any, rate, a preferential agreement with our colonics involving any duties,' however small, on articles of food which have hitherto not. been taxed Is J even if accompanied by a reduction of taxation on qther articles of food of annually universal consumption, is un acceptable to the majority Mn our con stituents. However muchT we may re gret their decision arid however mis taken we may think it to be, no gov ernment In a democratic country cam ignore Its use. "If therefore, that as an immediate, and practical policy the question ol, preference to the colonies cannot be pressed with any hope of .success' al the present time, although there Is vn -very strong feeling in favor of th other branch of fiscal reform whlet would give fuller discretion to the gov, ernment in negotiating with foreign?' countries for a freer exchange of com modities and would enable our repre-! sentatives to retaliate if no concessions were made to our just claims for greater reciprocity; if, as I ' believe, you share these views, It seems to ma that you will be absolutely justified In adopting them as the policy of your government although It will necessa rily involve" some changes in Its con stitution. As pecretary. of state fop the colonies durinp the last eight years,' I have been In a special sense the rep resentative of .ap Jolcy of closer union,, which I firmly believe is equally neces-' sary in the Interest of the colonies and' ourselves, and believe It possible today (Continued on second page.)
