As nearly as can be learned the car ferry, loaded with all she could carry, left Milwaukee late on Thursday for Ludington. A few hours out of port a, heavy gale was encountered. The boat at once be- gan t" pitch and toss, and it was not long before the loaded freight cars on the decks became loosened from their moorings and began to careen wildly within the narrow space. The gale incremed, and so violent did the sea, oavznne that many of the crew and passengers began to fit themselves out with life belts.

A few moments before No. 18 went down the crew managed to work the twentyâ€"nine loaded cars overboard, in the hope that the boat would right itself. But the effort came too late. Too much water had entered, and the fires had been extinguished. A minute later the boat went down. She sank like a. bullet, and drew down with her the bodies of many who had jumped into the swirling waters at the last moment. ‘ the key of his instrument as the waves of_ Lake Michigan engulfed the boat.

The seas were running so high it was found impossible to launch any of the small boats, as they would have been dashed to pieces at once.

Chaos is a cor- rect description of the effect that will be produced in the relations of capital and labor in this country if the new attitude assumed by trades unionism is persisted in. One of the principal unions has deliberate- ly voted 21 repudiation of the sanc- tity of contracts and in favor of the open violation of pledges.

The British contention was that the limit should be measured from an imaginary line connecting the headlands.
