ERIH, Pa, Aug. 12. The Silver Bpray.
rtL fishing boat owned here, came Into
jjKJrt this afternoon la a badly shattered
condition, due to an encounter in mld
'lake about noon with the Canadian
xevenue cutter Petrel.
The Canadian authorities have for years
had trouble with American fishermen
'poaching on the Canadian side of the lake,
and the Petrel Is kept constantly on the
lookout for them. At noon, she came
Upon the Silver Spray on the Canaulan
j3lde of the lake, and at once ordered Cap
'taln Chris Cbau to stop. The Petrel Is a
(Strong: steel craft, and It Is said attempted
to ram the American boat before she
could comply with the order to stop.
-Captain Chau decided to attempt to es
cape and started ahead at full speed. The
Petrel then opened fire with all her guns,
unci about 20 shots struck the Silver
Spray.
Two shots "struck the pilot-house In
which Captain Chau stood at the wheel.
One shot came within a few Inches of
Chau, scattering a myriad of splinters
around his head. That no one was killed
Is miraculous and two shots struck the
cabin, two the roof, threo the after hur
ricane deck and the others various parts
of the boat.
The chase was kept up for some time,
but when Captain Chau got across the
boundary line, the Petrel gave up the
pursuit.
Captain Chau will report the affair to
the State Department at Washington, as
he says he was looking for some of his
nets which had drifted from this side
toward the Canadian shore.
The only man Injured on tho Sliver
Spray was Bofterfck Culver, who was hit
in tho leg by a shot. He Is now In the
hospital. The fishermen say the Petrel
used her small deck cannon.

PRINTERS CHANGE MORE LAWS.
International Union Also Decides to
Meet' at St. Louis In li)04.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. The Interna
tional Typographical Union today decided
unanimously to hold its meetings in 1904
In St. Louis. The decision was reached
without opposition, all other candidates
withdrawing. Delegates Gllmore, of Mon
treal, and Powell, of Ottawa, gave notice
that those cities would be candidates for
the honor In 1905. They stated that there
is much opposition In Canada to interna
tional unionism, and expressed the opin
ion that a meeting in the Dominion
would strengthen tho cause.
The union began its session today by
ordering the removal of all circulars and
other literature distributed In the meet
ing hall which does not bear the union
label.
Tho convention resumed consideration
of the report of the committee on laws.
The first proposition taken up was a rec
ommendation prohibiting members of
subordinate unions from voting on a
change of the scale of prices unless ho
has been a member for at least six
months. This suggestion was adopted,
but the convention voted down a suggest
ion excluding from membership In subor
ainato unions maenme operators wno
have not served an apprenticeship as
printers. This negative action was taken
because the point is already covered by
existing law.
There was considerable discussion of an
amendment suggested by Delegate Tay
lor, of Tacoma, Wash., for the recogni
tion of the rule of employing substitutes
as regular printers. There was a recogni
tion of the fact that a better regulation
than that which exists at present Is de
sirable, but the suggestion was antagon
ized as Impracticable by the laws com
mittee, and the proposition' was voted
down.
The convention adopted an amendment
to the general laws suggested by Dele
gate Taylor gave to substltue printers
the privileges enjoyed by regular printers.
The convention then took up the sugges
tion made by tho committee on laws to
fix a standard for the measurement of
machine-set typo, but after extended de-
bate the question was recommitted to the
(iinimltlM for further ronslriprallnni.
The provision In the general laws pro
hibiting members from accepting work' in
offices where the proprietor imposes a task
cr "dead line" was stricken out.
A proposition submitted by Delegate
Bacon, of Hartford, looking to the cre
ation of a fidelity insurance fund for the
bonding of officers was voted down? ns
rJso was a proposition by Delegate Har
ris, requiring subordinate unions Imme
diately to begin the accumulation of de
fense funds amounting to not less than
HO per member.
At the "meeting of the storeotypers and
electrotypers a committee was appointed
to organize subordinate unions In the
Philippines and to investigate the possi
bility of organizing in the Hawaiian is
lands. Tbc principal featvre in the proceed-
ings of the woman's auxiliary to the
Typographical Unlonr was the decision
not to hear an address In support of fe
male suffrage, which Mrs. G. A. Lock
wood requested the privilege of delivering.

ing that there is enough ore on hand to

HIS GUESTS AT SAGAMORE KILL
Subcommittee Is Now Ready to Pat
.Its Ideas Into Concrete Form,
and Desires to Hear Susses
tioas of the Execatlve.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Aug. 12. Presi
dent Roosevelt has as his guests tonight
at Sagamore Hill the members of the
subcommittee of the Senate committee,
on finance, which Is engaged In drafting
a currency measure to be submitted to
Congress next Fall. The subcommittee
consists of Senator Aldrich. Rhode Is
land, chairman; Piatt. Connecticut; Alli
son, Iowa, and Spooner, Wisconsin.
Before the adjournment of Congress
last Spring this subcommittee was ap
pointed and authorized to sit during the
recess of Congress to study the financial
situation and prepare a measure to meet
the requirement, as the committee viewed
It. for Introduction In the Senate. On
this work the committee, sometimes as
Individuals, part of the time as a body,
has engaged during the latter part of
the Summer. For a day or two the
members have bem guests of Senator
Aldrich at his "Warwick residence near
Providence. They are preparing now to.
put Into concrete form the results of
their Investigation and labor.
Desiring to consult with President
Roosevelt regarding the work the sub
committee came to Oyster Bay late this
afternoon. It could not be ascertained
definitely whether a draft of a currency
measure had been made and was to bo
discussed tonight or not. but as the
Senators have been engaged for several
days at Warwick, with their colleagues
and stenographers. It Is reasonably cer
tain that some progress has been made
toward "thcTireparatlon of a currency
bill.
Object of the Committee.
The object of the committee Is to as
certain the views of President Roose
velt with definlteness. In order. If pos
sible, to meet them In the framing of
the measure. It is understood to be the
desire of all. Including the President,
that the bill should be ready for Intro
duction at the extra session which the
President has annpunced he will call
for Monday, November 4. Before that
time the subcommittee will submit its
draft of the measure to the full sub
committee on finance, and probably to
some other Republican Senators.
The President Is not wedded to any
particular plan of currency reform, so
called, but desires simply that a practi
cable scheme be evolved and put Into
the form of legislation at an early date
that will render the currency system of
dhe country more elastic and less likely
to be affected by the fluctuations of
values or the demands for money at
crop-moving seasons.
In a general way his Ideas have been
presented in some of his speeches during
recent months. It Is said to be unlikely
that any definite Information concerning
the work of tho subcommittee already
accomplished would be given to the pub
lic at this time.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt, ac
companied by several of their children
and nephews and by Mr. And Mrs. Jacob
A. Rlis. of Richmond Hill. L. I., today
enjoyed an outing on the naval yacht
Sylph. The day was Ideal. Glen Island
was the scene of a picnic luncheon.
Sir Thomas LIpton has accepted the
President's invitation to witness the
naval review and inspection next Mon
day from the deck of the auxiliary
cruiser Mayflower, which on that day
will fly the President's flag.
BATTLESHIP STRIKES A ROCK.
Massachusetts Pats Back, While Rest
of Fleet Goes to Oyster Bay.
BAR HARBOR, Me., Aug. 12. While
leaving the harbor during a thick fog
about noon today. In company with
other vessels of the North Atlantic
Squadron, the battleship Massachusetts
sustained considerable damage by strik
ing on the ledge of rocks off the west
ern end of Egg Rock. The big vessel
slipped over the rocks Into deep, water,
but the two forward bulkheads soon
filled, and it was subsequently found by
divers, who examined her hull, that sev
eral plates forward had been cracked.
The Massachusetts was headed back
into the harbor with difficulty, accom
panied by her sister vessel, the Indiana.
and the gunboat Scorpion. She will re
main here until Captain Manning, her
commander, receives orders from Wash
ington, when It Is expected she will pro
ceed to Brooklyn to be drydocked.
At the time the accident happened the
squadron, which Is under command of
Rear-Admiral Barker, and which has
been on this part of the coast engaged
In a war game, was bound for Long
Island Sound, where there will be exer
cises previous to an Inspection and re
view next Monday by President Roose
velt, Secretary Moody and Admiral
Dewey.
It Is believed that the accident to the
Massachusetts was due to a miscalcula
tion of her position on the part of the
navigating officer. When the big battle
ship struck she was going at the rate
of about 9Vfc knots an hour. Captain
Manning said tonight that he could have
proceeded with the rest of the fleet,
but thought It wisest to return so that
the Massachusetts could bo drydocked
for repairs. It is expected that she will
be In trim when her orders are received
to sail. She will proceed to the Brook
lyn navy-yard, probably under her own
steam, and will be drydocked so that
the full extent of her damage may be
ascertained.
BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Government Begins First Work Un
der New Act In Arizona.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The Secretary
of the interior has approved tho award
of the contract for the construction of an
Irrigating canal to connect the Truckee
and Carson Rivers, In Nevada, to Charles
A. Warren & Co., of San Francisco, and
E. B. & A. L. Stone Company, of Oak
land, Cal.. at an aggregate cost of $342,437.
This is the first definite action taken by
the department looking to actual con
struction under the reclamation act.
The proposed canal will be 30 miles in
length. Its main purpose is to carry the
waters of the Truckee River to a reser
voir to be constructed ia the Valley of
Carson River. Incidentally, however,
about S00O acres of land under the canal
will be irrigated by it. Ultimately the
project Is expected to reclaim about 300,000
acres of arid lands In Western Nevada
and Eastern California, Including the old
Forty Mile Desert.
ROOT CONFERS ON PHILIPPINES.
Discusses New Currency BUI With
Ide, and Then Wires Taft.
WASHINGTON." Aug. 12. Secretary
Root left today for New York. He will be
absent until Saturday. Before leaving, he
had a conference with Judge Henry C
Ide. of the Philippine Commission, who is
on his way to Manila. The currency ques
tion was discussed, and in view of the
near approach to the time when the new
Philippine currency law will go Into ef
fect cable messages on the subject have
been exchanged with Governor Taft.
September 1 Is the date when the law
will be put in forced unless something un
foreseen happens in Oriental nnance to
make a delay necessary. The insular bu
reau of the War Department has-been un
officially Informed that tho price of the
Mexican dollar in Manila Is 45& cents. In
Hong Kong 44U. and In New York 42.
It has been suggested that the difference
between the price In Manila and Hong
Kong will result in a large Importation of
Mexican dollars, and the English bankers
have suggested that an import tax be
levied upon the Mexican coins, in order
to protect the Filipino people who hold
Mexicans.
The War Department authorities take
the view that the bankers probably hold
more Mexican dollars than the people,
and that such a tax Is unnecessary. These
Mexican dollars will not be received for
public djies and imposts after the new
currency law .goes into effect. The posi
tion of the War Department Is that there
should be no interference with the Mex
ican dollars, as they are floating foreign
coin. It is probable that the Spanish sil
ver coins In circulation will be redeemed,
as were the Spanish coins In Porto Rico,
as It Is held that the Spanish coins were
a part of the government which was ac
quired by the cession.
