The collision was about sixty miles south of Sable Island and in a dense fog which in a great way prevented the saving of more lives. The "La Bouraroeue" sank almost immediately after the collision and only two hundred people were saved There were many women aim ciuimcu on board the steamship and among those saved was only one woman. The officers of the ship were all drowned while attempting to save the passen gers. The six hundred lost struggled in the sea and finally were drowned in the yawning gap where the ship went down. The scene was an awful one and in the darkness of the fog the screams of the drowning women was agonizing to those vainly at tempting to SEfve them. PROB VBLY FONT 31 : HAWAII VOTE TOMORROW.

Kingston. July 6. Large num bers of ' refugees from Santiago ar - dlsembraking from recently arrived foreign warships. " WILL DEMANJD PEACE. London. July 6. Advices have been received from Madrid stating that peace will be demanded to day. 1 ' The Biblical Recorder made its ap pearance today and contains the, following: JNo or. .. ould deny out soldiers pleas ure, ho' one who knows what a round of hard and wearisome and monoton ous drilling they must go through even before they leave for Cuba, would do aught to deprive them of anything good; but there are not a few good people who are righteously indtenant because "a canteen" a beer dispensary has been established in the First North Carolina Regiment, and that therelk"e those who would have one also in the Second Regiment. No one can say that there is virtue in beer, no onec an say that it is good for one's health, nor is there any reason ing whereby special, provision for sol diers to drink it can be justified. On the other hand, beer is unwholesome: some men do fatten upon It, but It is hot real gain in flesh, while others become afflicted with kidney troubles from drinking it; and worst of all, bfeer is alcodolic, stupefying some and making others drunk. Moreover beer- drinking is an easy first step to whis key-drinking; and there are many young men amongst the North Caro lina Volunteers who, being young and without experience, may be easily ruined. And especially since alcoholic drinks made one particularly suscepti ble to epidemic diseases, we should think our government would see to it that her soldiers who are to go to war In a sickly country are shielded frpm this danger so far as possible. But, say some, "beer quenches thirst. Ana eo ltd aes, but water is far superior to beer in this respect. We do earn estly hope that our government will abolish the "canteens" already estab lished and refuse to suffer others to be set up. Santiago Fight Thought to Have Fright ened S ine nit tht They Uiiiinin at lioine--1 hiny More to Leave Raleigh Tomorrow. From all over the State the negro volunteer organizations moved to Fort Macon today. The afternoon trains on the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad have been crowded with the dusky volunteers who are ready to be mustered into the service of the United States by Lieutenant Harlow. The first section of troops ordered to Fort Macon were successfully muster ed in by Captain Gresham and com posed the First Battalion. The second detachment left last week to make out the Third- Regiment. Five hundred and forty men were or dered to move on that date and five hundred and eighty one arrived at Fort Macon. Of these sixty were rejecte ?n-af"ana'this"i'5"cau'sing troameV- '10 The allotment to go to Fort Macon today was 560 and from the total num ber to go 8G3 are to be mustered into service.. Reports have reached here to the f ffect that the negroes at other points were slow about organizing and this morning Ra,leigh like many other points failed to send its quota to the front. Sixtv men were to '.cave here today and only thirty turned up but the other thirty are guaranteed and will leave tomorrow afternoon. The cause of the back out on the part of many of the negroes is thought to be the recent news from Santiago Inlod the deaths of SO many of their race. TKosp on the move today are the following: Wilmington A. J. Walker, captain. Greenville, C. C. fo-bes, captain. Fayetteville, W. B.

THE N K W GRAMMAR, tt i- riifficolt to di-cribe this new craminiu- without filtering into some what tertrtou detail, says Prof. Mark H. Liddell in the July Atlantic: Dut perhaps it will not be impossible in n.A.ia to iriv a e-enera.1 idea at its scope and method. The chief divlsins of this modern grammar are sounds, inflections, syntax, ami rhythm. Its ultimate unit is a single sound. A word cannot express thought unless its component sounas are au ,,mioin ronrortuired. and Its sounds are subject to development. If I talB the word bear ana cnange it to uwr. I have made in it Dut a smau auer QnH nnn thnt is auite in accord with the history of English; yet I have altered the word so tnai .it no iunei suggests the thought It suggested be fore the change was maae, oui euuie- -thing quite different, It to M much of a change as I snouia mase in by changing the 2 to a 9.
