their belief that a serious conflict
will break out unless the men are
taken back speedily.
The action of the companies is the
result of the miners' refusal to work
more than eight hours Saturday. The
report of the strike commission de
clares they shall put in the regular
nine hours on Saturdays as on other
days, but last week the mine em
ployes served notice that they would
not serve the extra hour. The com

The Masts and Canvas Were Carried
Away and the Yacht Was Left a
Mere Hulk One cf the Crew Drown
ed and Several Injured.
Weymouth, England, April IS.
Tlr Thomas Upton's new challenger
for tho America's cup was dismasted
In a squall shortly alter leaving tho
harbor preparatory to another trial
spin with the Shamrock I. Her mast,
as it fell over the side,-carried sev
eral of the crew and all the gear and
canvas overboard. One man was
drowned and several persons, includ
ing Sir Thomas, who was knocked
down a hatchway, were bruised or
otherwise injured.
Tho yachts were manoeuvring In
the roadstead, under mainsails, jibs,
foresails, nnd gaff topsails prior to
the start A strong northeast breeze
was blowing, .but there was nothing
in the nature of a gale. The boats
seemed to carry their racing sails
well as they fetched out from tho
shelter of the breakwater, the Sham
rock III leading on a tack out sea
ward, apparently with tho Intention
of testing the strength of tho wind
outside.
The Erin had taken up a position
to scud the boats away, round a trian
gular course, and everything seemed
to promise a fine race. The Sham
rock III then made n short board on
the port tnck, dragging through a
heavy squall with her loo decks awash
When nearly a mile off shore, she
went about on tho starboard tack to
stand up to cross the line, when a
sudden gust of wind, sweeping out of
Weymouth bay, struck the yacht and
completely dismantled her. The
weather rigging screws of her main
shrouds gave way and her mast car
ried away close to the deck, and with
It went her spars, sails and gearing
in a confused mass of wreckage.
The yacht's decks were crowded
with Sir Thomas Llpton's guests, offi
cers and men, tnd it soemed impossi
ble that the disaster was not attended
by serious loss of life. Deprived of
its chief support, tho immense steel
tubular mast swayed for a fraction
of a second, crumpled up liko a tube
of paper and went overboard, creating
general havoc as it fell.
So sudden was the calamity that
the yacht lay, wrecked and helpless,
before those on board of her wcdl re
alized what had happened. Fortu
nately most of the tremendous weight
of the gear foil clear of the deck,
as otherwise the disaster must have
been multiplied tenfold. As It was,
only one life was lost, that of a mem
ber' ot- the-t. .r-aamivr OV:'-
brother-in-law of Captain W'rlnge.
Collier at the moment of the accident
was handing a binocular glass to Sir
Thomas Upton and still had the
glass in his hand when he was struck
by some of the tumbling gear nnd
knocked overboard. A number of oth
ers were injured by falling gear, bijt
none was seriously hurt. Sir Thomas
was knocked clown a hatchway ami
one of his hands was injured, but not
seriously.
The hull of tho Shamrock III was
not damaged. The mast, when it went
overboard went solid. There was at
that time only one break, which was
about seven feet above the deck. As
the big spar, with its weight of can
vas, became heavier owing to the wa
ter in it, the mast again buckled, its
head going down until it rested on
the bottom.
During the work of raising tho mast

There are many reasons why you should

reason is that they will give you almost instant
relief from headache or other pain. In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coining on, a Pain Pill will usu
ally prevent it culiiely. la cases of extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
