Tho nhlp wna en route from the ynnl of her builder, tho Armstrongs, of Now Castle, to Portsmouth, and carried a navigating crow of 70 won. It la reported Hint nil were lost with Hip exception of aliont a dozen persons. The Cobra hnd on hoard 42 navnl men and about 37 men In the employ of the contrac tor. So far a known only the 12 men previously referred to have been saved. Five boats were launched af tcr the Cobra struck, but some of them were swamped In the heavy set. which was running at the time. Tor pedo boats and cruisers have gone at full speed to the scene of the dis aster, which Is the most serious the British navy has suffered since the shilling of tho -Victoria. Lieutenant Bosworth Smith, the Cobra' com mander, stood upon the bridge with his arms folded as Impassive as It on piirade and went down with the ves sel. The first intimation of the dis aster wna the arrlvnl of a fishing boat aster was arrival of a finhlng boat at Yarmouth with six bodies, which she spot where the Cobra was last seen. A dispatch from Midillesboro says 12 survivors of tho crew of the Cobra were Inndcd there Thursday morning, and confirm the first report that all the others were drowned. The Cobra like her sister boat, the Viper, was a turhinc-cugliicd vessel. Hhe had Just left the yard of her contractor and wna undergoing a holler test. About ono year ago the torpedo boat des troyer Cobra beat the record of the Viper, and won the title of the fastest vessel In the world. The record of tho Viper, which was afterward wrecked, was 411 miles an hour, while the Cobra, in an unofficial trial, over the Tyne, mndo 37.7 knots, or 43.5 mile an hour. CLEW TO CONSPIRACY. Letter Found in chlst at Possession of Ana" Des Moines. Tho much-discussed clew of the con spiracy to assassinate President Me Kinley Is believed to have been found in Des Moines. Tho sus picion that Czolgosz was but a tool seems well founded in the light of in formation disclosed In a letter found -- - on the person of a wounded prisoner. an Anarchist living, in this city, who persists in refusing to disclose his name. Tho officers have him under strict surveillance and escape Is im possible. The letter taken from ills person was mailed at Los Angeles two weeks before President McKlnley was shot. It contains two circular in which are such expressions as "the beast at the Buffalo Exposition," "Lin coln's futo repeated," "Duty of every Anarchist," "President's life," "Peo ple periBh for lack of wisdom," "Pre vention Is better than assuaging assas sination;" Soelnlism, skulking out of anarchy Into respectability, repudiates the bullet," and others, including tho word "Emma." presumably referring to Emma Goldman. This much alone has been deciphered from the strange mlxturo of letters and numerals, but the characters have not been trans lated as yet, and perhaps cannot be translated until some Anarchist takes his life in his hands by turning trai tor and furnishes the key.

More Than a Million Dollars' Worth of Imports for Each Business Day of the Year. Imports of tropical and nb-troplea1 product Into the United State con tinue to Increase, a shown by figure prepared by tho Treasury Hureau of Stut Istic. The demand of the tem perate wine upon the tropics for ar ticles of dally use a foodstuffs or for use in manufacturing seem to In crease with each year, and with the Inercn.ie of facilities tor Interchange between the tropic and th" teirpeinte i.ones. Coft'ce, Biignr, India rubber, tlliers. tobacco, fruits and nuts, gums, cotton, spires, cnhlnet woods, Indigo, cork, dye woods, Rponges, barks for the manufacture of quinine and num erous other articles from the tropica now form a lnrgo proportion of the exports of the United States, and de spite the reduction In price in many enses the total value are ateadlly In creasing. Add to this the mihtroplcai products, such as unmanufactured silk, tea, rice and other article of this class, and tho grnnd total aggre gates more than a million dollar for ench business day of Imports of a character which cannot ,or Bt least aie not at present produced in the United States In sufficient quant'ths to meet the recpilrements of out pop ulation. In suptir and coffee tho United States Is the largest consumer of the world, and In many other of the trop leal product, such as unmanufactured silk, India rubber, fruits and nuts, and spices, we are among the largest Importing nations. In coffee, owing to the reduction in price, the figures of l'.MH are not as large as those of some earlier years, notably 18H4 and IM'u. though the quantity Imported ex ceeds thnt of earlier year, with pos sibly ono or two exceptions. How much of this clnss of our im portations may be in the future sup piled by tho troplcnl territory which lias recently come under the control of the Lulled States Is a matter for future development, but It Is at least Interesting to know that nearly one- half of the Importations of the pres ent time are tropical and sub tropical In character, and that nearly all are of a class which are produced In greater or loss extent In those islands or territory adjacent to them. EVACUATION OF PEKING. Americans and Japanese Thanked for Care of Forbidden City. The Chinese troop re-entered Pe king Tuesday.

The long-delayed schedules of Hen ry Marquand ft Co., whose failure caused the collapse of the Seventh National Bank, were to-day filed In the Supreme Court. At the time of the failure the firm had on hand In cash $4 71. Their liabilities wore $9,108, l76. while their actual assets were only $5,0i)8,49(S. The customers will lose at least $4,100,180. The nominal assets are $8,902,2110. The securities which Henry Mar quand & Co. had on hand were large ly of tho character known In Wall street as "cats and dogs'.' They were stocks upon which tho bunks would not loan money, and which had only a future value, if any at all. They are not now negotiable. None of the so cured creditors will lose much money; the loss will apparently fall upon the customers of the firm, who are mostly unsecured. STATUS OF AMBASSADOR8. It is Believed They Will Have to Re ceive New Credentials. The State Department Is Inclined to believe that all of tho United States ambassadors abroad must be supplied with new credentials. This may be true also of tho ambassadors from for eign potentates and republics to Wash ington. This belief Is based upon the fact that the ambassador represents the person of the sovereign or presl dent. This is not true of the minis ters, who, therefore, probably will not be required to be re-commissioned. THE KAISER CRITICISED. Exception Taken to Prince Chun Re ceiving the Grand Cross.

Naturally, his tragic end while its guest depressed the city 1 yond expression. ilu.ru was never a community mop? engrossed In a great undertaking than Buffalo was with the Pan-Amerlenn Exposition three week ago. "It I the first exposition which has hnd no subsidies," citizen said. "The Unit ed State has furnished an exhibit fnr more attractive than ever seen before; the State of New York hns erected a beautiful marble palace; the city of Buffalo has built a bridge, and ha furnished water and lire and police protection, but the funds to erect the city of light have all come from the private resources of Buffalo people. When In tils memorable address the President emphasized the Pan-Ameri can Idea and made It pnrt of history the people of Buffalo realized that I hell effort were appreciated. The revulsion was terrible, and now that it In passed tho question of what Is to come Is interesting. The dol lars and cents seem pretty thoroughly eliminated from the calculation now, but the work to he done, and the end to bo achieved seem foremost In every man's mind. They feel now that the Exposition must be carried to a glor ious finish as a labor of patriotism in d love. President Mllhuru pot this thought very strongly. He ald: There must be no faltering now, considering how much the success of the Exposition mentis In the develop ment of closer political and commer cial relations between the people of the hemisphere earnestly favored by President McKlnley. Its ideal and conception are In harmony with his wise and beneficent public policy. All state day and other special days set heretofore for this month and postponed on account of the President arc being reassigned and Hi ken up by the different States and localities with increased Interest.

CONGRESS TO PAY DOCTORS. The McKlnley Physicians and Funeral Expenses Will Be Paid. Congress willl make special provis ion for the payment of the physicians and surgeons who attended President McKlnley in Buffalo, and for the pay ment of his funeral expenses.
