Commander Emerson of the Maryland naval militia has been in conference with Lieutenant Gibbons and will proceed immediately to arrange for a Joint encampment this summer, the parties to the plan in that case being Pennsylvania and New Jersey with Maryland. New York will join forces with Connecticut and Rhode Island. Fishers island probably will be the scene of the joint assembly.

GOLF ON LONG ISLAND. Players Out in Force The Dyker Meadow and Queens County Clubs Prove Easy Winners. Golfers were out in force yesterday on Long Island, though early in the morning, between 7 and o'clock, when many made a start, the weather looked anything but promising for the sport and the sun shone very fitfully.

While the steady, gray light which. In the opinion of many players, favors the game prevailed some heavy raindrops fell during the afternoon and the high wind proved bothersome on the eastern side of the island. The event of major importance hereabouts, since two Long Island clubs were engaged, was the fixture at Glen Cove, in which tho Queens County and Oakland Golf clubs tried conclusions, with tho following results: Queens County.

The speaker told ninny other amusing stories, and kept his audience laughing nearly all the time he was talking.

I 1 I Four More Survivors of the Vaillant Arrive in Port, PICKED UP AFTER SIX DA'S a Out of a Boatload of Twenty one From the Ill Fated Brigantine Seventeen Died From Exposure and Hunger. Terrible Sufferings of the Survivors, Two of Whom Will Lose All Their Limbs Other Boats May Be Safe. St.

Johns, N. May 1 The French brigantine Amedee, Captain Fortln, from St. Malo, which arrived at St. Pierre to night, brought four more survivors of the lost brigantine Vaillant, which foundered as the result of striking an iceberg off Grand Banks on tho night of April 14. These four men were tho only survivors of a boatload of twenty cue men who left the sinking Vaillant in a shira lifeboat, seventeen having perished as a result of exposure and frostbites.

The bodies of the seventeen dead men were thrown overboard when life became extinct. The four survivors claim to have kept themselves alive by eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a dog belonging to the Vaillant. This dog, they say, they tpok with them when they left the ship. They were absolutely without water, provisions. oars, sails and proper clothing when they left the brigatine.

They say that they had only time to Jump from their berths into the life boat, and that no opportunity was afforded them to make even slight provisions against cold and starvation. The seventeen men who died suffered excruciating torments. The survivors seem to have fared little bettor. All four of the men aro very weak. Two of them will lose all of their limbs, and the other two will lose their feet as a result of the frost bites.

The men related a story of a fierce struggle on board the ship for places in the boats, some thirty of the crew going down with the wreck. A somewhat similar fight occurred on board the lifeboat, the men quarreling about tho division of the flesh of the dog, which was killed on the morning of the third day, when four men had already perished. Three died the next day, six the next and four the day previous to their rescue. The men were rescued at midnight on the sixth day. They were so exhausted that they found it almost impossible to shout when they saw the lights on the brigantine Amedee, which came near running them down in the darkness.

The men say they saw nothing of tho missing lifeboats after leaving the Vaillant, but they are of the opinion that three boatloads escaped from the wreck beside the one already saved, which lifeboat accompanied them for two days, when the captain advised them to separate. The captain perished on board the lifeboat. The survivors rescued from the lifeboat by the Almedee assert that none of the bodies was mutilated and that in this case no cannibalism was attempted. The condition of the four men previously rescued remains unchanged. The circumstances surrounding this latest rescue are such as to induce the friends of the missing members of the crew to believe that other boats may yet be picked up.

The news aof the wreck of the Vaillant was brought to St. Pierre, Miquelon, on April 27 by four men, badly frozen, driven to cannibalism and finally rescued by the French barkentlne Victor Eugere. The Vaillant, it was anounced, aws on the grand. banks in the region of fog and cold. The lookout suddenly saw a cloud before him which became a glistening wall.

Then there was a crash and tha men felt the deck tremble beneath their feet. A scramble for the boats followed. It is known one of the boats was swamped. "When tho four men were picked up by the barkentlne Vliotor Eugene they were so weak and cold chat thoy could scarcely lift their heads. From ehe first the recovery of the men res cued by the Victor Eugene has been extremely doub bful, owing to their weakened condition.

The Vaillant was a wooden brigantine ol 158 tons. She was buiHt at Shelbourne, N. by W. S. Kelly.

Her owners were L. Coste of St. Pierre, Miquelon. She was 94 feet long, 25 feet beam and 10 feet in depth. Her port of registry was St.

MaCo, Franco. She was commanded by Captain Pierre. AFRICA STILL A MYSTERY. Cyrus C. Adams Lectures Upon ttie Dark Continent.

Cyrus C. Adams, a well known journalist of New York, delivered a most interesting lecture on Africa, Friday afternoon last, in All Souls' Unlversailst church. His audience was largely made up of school children, who listened to the good stories told by the speaker with the closest attention. Anions other things Mr. Adams said that it would be fully one hundred years before a good map of Africa could be made.

He said that a great number of statements made public by Livingstone and Stanley, and believed by people the world over, have been proven false during tho last ten years. These explorers depended too much upon the stories told by natives and so had described lakes and mountains that never existed and had passed over other great natural wonders that have since been discovered. Mr. Adams said that It was a great mistalte to suppose that the desert of Saharah is all sand or that it could ever bo converted into a sea. The truth of the matter is that the desert is on an average of 1,000 feet above the level of the sea.

The lecturer gave an interesting description of several dwarf tribes in Africa and concluded his remarks by declaring that the traffic in rum is the great modern curse of the dark continent. BROKER TRIES SUICIDE. He Was Owam L. Hughes of This City. Jumped From a.

Fulton Ferryboat. Owain L. Hughes, 48 years old, a yacht broker, of 125 Reld avenue, with offices at 34 New street, New York city, attempted suicide last evening by jumping overboard from the stern of the Fulton ferryboat Somerset, while i in midstream, on her 5:45 o'clock trip to Brooklyn from New York. Mr. Hughes' at tempt would doubtless have been successful had not the tug H.

Ii. Moore been steaming down the river near by. The tug's captain saw Mr. Hughes jump and headed his boat for him. He was pulled on board by the crew and wtis turned over to the crew of the har bor polico launch No.

2, which took him to pier New York city. An ambulance was called from Bellevue hospital, and when the surgeon arrived; he found Mr. Hughes still dressed in his wet clothing and shivering i witn tne coiu. rue surgeon was very angry and upbraided the police for not taking erly caring for him. If pneumonia does not set in, the yacht broker will probably recover.

Before leaping Into the river Mr. Hughes discarded ills high silk which contained hia business card, and dropped his gold headed umbrella and cane on the deck. Without saying a word he buttoned up bis overcoat and, cllin'blng over the rail near tho women's cabin at tihe stern, threw hunsell ovei'board. A few women and several men who stood by were powerless to prevent tho act, so quickly was it performed, hut they set up the cry of "Man overboard!" and tho ferryboat was brought to a stop. Then the tug steamed vo and the crew rescued Mr.

Hughes. Ho uas well dressed and wore a gold watch and lain. At pieT A ho acknowledged that ho had been drinking, but was very reticent and would give no motivo for his attempt. Before being taken to the hospital several friends of Hughes oui a saloon at 44 Broa dway, Now' York, wont to see him and wanted Sergeant Woods permit them to take him away, but ho refused, and Hughes was taken to Bollevue, Whoro he Is a prisoner.

With a Well Attended Meeting in Memorial Hall. AUTHORITY IN THE HOME. Tho Dr. McConnell's Assertion That Children Can Be Spanked With Dignity Creates Discussion Addresses Delivered at the Evening Session.

Playgrounds for the Little Ones NeededThe Variety Show Defended. The first congress of fathers and mothers ever held in this city came to an end last evening at Memorial hall, and the attendance at the closing session justified tho remark of the presiding officer, Mrs. Noah H. Chapman, that it might more properly be called a trinity of fathers, mothers and teachers, as the audience was about equally divided into these three classes. The Rev.

Dr. McConnell of Holy Trinity was the second speaker on the programme, but he absorbed most of the interest of the occasion by his treatment of the topic assigned to him on "Tho Necessity of Authority In the Home," the general subject for the evening being "Government of Children." Dr. McConnell said that his topic possessed explosive qualities when discussed in a mixed and he was going to treat it as diplomatically as he knew how. The key to the whole situation, he continued, lay in remembering that society was not made up of isolated beings, but of a num ber of groups termed the family, consisting of the father, mother and child. Whether the husband or the wife or the child was the head, the question was how shall the actual unity of the family correspond with the Ideal unity of and the family be at one with Itself.

A movement which had been going on for many centuries, hut with greater rapidity of late years, lent additional difficulty to the solution of tho question and this was what was termed emancipation of woman. A more unhappy phrase. Dr. McConnell went on to say, could not have been coined, for it badly expresses a real thing. W'oman was in the scripture regarded as an appendage to man and even in our grandfathers' time was not considered an entire human being.

Her emancipation was not from slavery, but her coming Into her own self consciousness and into the possession of a distinct individuality and personality. An emancipated woman and an unemancl pated man could not get along very well together In the control of a child belonging to both of them, but, as in every association, authority must be vested in one final court of appeals, so it must be in the family. Sometimes it is with the mother or the grown daughter, or distributed, but authority in the family there must be and he thought it should lodge with the father. In the marriage service some women stumble over the word obey and convey a reluctance to make tho promise while perfectly willing to promise to love and honor. Of the three promises the only one a woman can make with any certainty that she can keep is that to obey.

Circumstances may make it impossible for her to continue to love or honor, but she'ean always obey. "I am not going to say whether she ought to make that promise or not," said the speaker. "A difficulty in the family is the want of distinction between tyranny and authority. Despotic authority has no place in the household. Self control must be acquired before either parent can exercise authority.

At times it has been necessary for tho wife to be the head, but it seems as if the breadwinner and the guardian should possess that right. One thing the child must be taught, and that is to obey. If the lesson Is learned in the home, so much the better, but learned it will be somewhere." "Regarding the discipline of children," the speaker continued, "I never knew a child and never want to have an intimate acquaintance with one tha did not need punishment. This punishment need not be harsh and should never be humiliating, or such as to lower the dignity of the child. I believe that a child may bo spanked with dignity.

It always irritates me to hear a mother say that she can not trust her temper to punish a child when the fault is committed but waits until next day. I do not know of any more diabolical punishment than this fad of weak mothers. Do not misunderstand me when I say that trifling physical punishment, when the offense is committed is less trying than delayed punishment, which keeps the little one on the rack and tries its nerves. Ho will realize ttiat there is an authority against which his wif.l must break as surely as there is a law of gravitation. In closing let me say a word about the so called decay of family discipline.

I do not believe In ill. There is less of the decorous behavior of children toward their parents than was customary a generation or two ago, but there is more comradeship and a better understanding between ttoe individuals making up tho family group, and society In consequence is better for it." Mrs. Chapman, in announcing the subject open for debate, said: "I know that several of us both agree and disagree with Dr. McConnell. As we have discarded the idea of the absolute monarchy in the state so we have discarded the idea in the family, and some think the promise in marriage appears to relieve women of moral responsibility." Mrs.

Chadwlck was asked to answer Or. McConnell and said: "It is impossible to invest with authority those who have not been so invested by nature. Sometimes the c'atuer possesses it, si metirres the mother, and hivj been cases where It was necessary for the chilli to exercise it. I think it better for the father to have the final voice. As regard! corporal punishment, sudden, Ejiarp.

physical pain seems at present to 1 the only method that will settL some things, but I cannot imagine a dignified spanking. With regard to authority I think we have lost it in acquiring comraclshlp, hut I thoroughly agree with Dr. McConnell that the child should be taught to obey instantly and without question, and the place to teach It is in tihe home and we must all learn the lesson sooner or later." One speaker, who said she appeared In behalf of old maids' children, testified to the of corporal punishment and added that she did not see how any minister could ask a woman to promise to obey her husband and thus open the way to falsehood. Dr. Gunnison followed Dr.

McConnell, speaking in behalf of "Co operation Between the Teacher and Parents." He thought that parents ought to visit the schools and find out about the teacher and consult with her, and not rely on hearsay evidence. Many parents shirked their responsibility entirely from 9 until 3 o'clock each school day, and exhibited an indifference regarding their children that they would not display to any other possession. Tho movement to have touchers visit the schools, he said, was proving only a partial success, and if the congress accomplished nothing more than to awaken an internal interest in this subject he would have attained the end for which he had come there. If the parents made a demand hours would be arranged on certain days when visits could be made, and he approved of such a plan. He thought it a grievous wrong when parents made remarks about tho teacher In the bearing I of the child Instead of Investigating, and If the teacher was Incompetent reporting to the proper authorities.

Not more than 2.S00 parents had been induced so far to attend tho teachers meetings, while there were 1 10,000 children in the school's. Mr. Chadwlck suggested that is parents were informed that they had a right to visit the public schools many of them would doubtless do so, but they were invited as guests and that was the reason probably for tho small response. Dr. Gunnison said that thore was no lack of visiting to complain of, but lack of Intelligent co operation with the teacher for tho good of the child.

Miss Laura B. Fisher, the supervisor of the kindergartens of Boston, read a paper on "How to Understand tho Child," setting forth in a very attractive form Froebel's ideas with regard to the study, observation and nurture of tho child. Mrs. Chadwlck offered a voto of thanks to all who assisted at the congress, and informed those present that they might expect to bo called together in the course of tho year to sleet a commltte looking to a practical out com of hto discussions at the congress, and with tho main idea of so regulating the study courses at the schools that more time could be given to tho physical training and less to unnecessary studies. Miss Strachan, principal of Public School SAY IT WAS SUICIDE.

The Police Believe Thomas Cannon Took His Own Life. Tho polico of tho Fifth precinct aro now satisfied that Thomas Cannon, 40 years old, 155 Bedford avenue, committed suicide. His body was found floating in tho East river at the foot of North Twelfth street at an early hour yosterday morningf Cannon's wifo was inclined to boliovo that her husband was murdered and she asked tho polico to make a careful investigation. Detective Campbell said last night that thore was no evidence to substantiate the theory of murder, and that all tho facts in the case demonstrate beyond a doubt that Cannon ended his own life. WOULD RUIN CANADIAN SEALERS What a Dominion Man Says Concerning the Proposition to Extend the Close Season.

London, May 1 Profiting by the temporary presonco in England of a leading member of one of the oldest and largest Victorian sealing housos, a correspondent called upon him to ascertain the viows held by tho Canadian or pelagic sealers on the latest phase of tho soal ing question. Ho said: To talk of extending the closo season until the end of August meuns absolutely a death blow to Canadian sealers. Under tho existing arrangements Victorian schooners starting for the grounds in timo for August 1 can only reckon on six weeks and only then under the most favorable conditions. If the time be oxtended. as suggested, wo could at the very most only hope for one week's sealing and.

as the weather is usually very bad, the chances are that sealers would return without a single skin. Knowing this tho ro rosult would bo that no sealers would go out and that, therefore, tho Canadian industry would bo killed. So far as an extension of the closed zone to 200 miles is concerned I am of tho opinion that that would equally prove a death blow to Canadian sealing. As it is the fishing banks are well within the sixty mile limit. What can bo hoped for if for an oxtra 110 miles wo are prohibited from sealing." TRACK SPORTS AT PRINCETON.

Mrs. Merritt in Central Park. Thero was an exciting runaway on the drive near tho mall in Central park yesterday and David T. Merritt, collector of customs of New Brunswick, Canada, and his wife had a narrow escape. Cabman Patrick Reilly was driving on the stretch of down grado In front of the mall, when a strap on the harness broke and the cab pushed forward striking the horse suddenly.

The spirited animal at once took fright and bounded forward with a jump. Reilly saw it was impossible to stop the animal and he tried to guide his carriage past tho throng of bicyclists and carriages on Fifth avenue, where the frightened horse was soon tearing along. 'Policemen on tho avenue saw the runaway and their shouts managed to secure the right of way for the cab. In front of the Vanderbilt residence, near Fifty eighth street, John Tanker, with his hansom, was unable to get Into clear and the two vehicles came together with a smash. The driver of Mr.

Merritt's cab was hurled headlong from his seat and landed on the pavement, striking on his shoufldcr. Simultaneously Tanker was thrown from bis seat and ho fell almost on top of Heilly. The shaft of tiie hansom cab crashed through the side of Mr. Merritt's carriage, almost impaling him. He saw it coming and was alxo to draw back out of the way anil at tho same Lime get his wife out of danger.

As it was r.he shafts just grazed his face, cutting his nose, but inflicting no serious injury. Mr. and Mrs. Merritt were taken to a drug store and later to the Grand Union hotel, where they were stopping, rtoil iy and Tanker managed to pick themselves up and were to drive away. Ruiliy received a bad bruise on the shoulder.

Tanker was able to remain at work. AN IMMIGRATION PETITION. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington. II. May 1 Congressman Charles (.1.

First Steeplechase Over the Wheat ley Hills Course. LARGE FIELDS OF HORSES. Association's Fine Day of Sport Over a Splendid Stretch cf Country A Few Falls and Bruises for Reckless Riders, but No Serious Accidents Cups and Money Prizes Offered Summaries of the Races. (Special to the Eagle.) Whcatlcy Hills, L. May 1 The first spring meeting of the Meadowhrook Steeplechase association was held to day on the top of the picturesque Wheatley Hills, between the seats of William C.

Whitney and E. 1). Morgan. The course was laid out on the highest ground on Long Island. The view from the course, which is tho finest 011 Long I Island.

Is magnificent. Every portion of the country for miles around can be seen without scarcely moving from one spot. The meeting was one of the most successful and enjoyable events that have ever been held 011 Long Island. The start of each race was from the top of a hill, a mile north of the country seat of William C. Whitney.

The course laid out for the five different events was at lirst a down grade over pasture witli a double jump of two stiff rail fences, then on tiie level, a road to cross witli another double Jump, a breather up hill, through pasture land, several hundred yards of level, a stiff fence, then about half a mile of up grade pasture, another stiff fence, then another breather of about four hundred yards on the grass, a steep down grade, at the bottom of this and then a sharp turn and a run on the level, about a furlong, to the winning post. So perfect, is this natural steeplechase course, that every yard of the different courtes can bo seen by the spectator without scarcely moving from one position. Several spills occurred during the different events, butjuck ily none of them resulted seriously. However, several of the different riders received severe shakings up. In the first race Ralph N.

Ellis was thrown at the second Jump. Harry Page was also thrown at tho same jump. When near the finish of this race Ernest Hayes' hunter tripped and fell just as lie was about to jump. He struck the top rail and turned a complete somersault, landing squarely upon his back with Mr. Hayes underneath him.

Mr. Hayes was severely bruised and shaken up, but was otherwise unhurt. His escape from a serious In Jury was remarkable. Max Stevenson was also thrown in this race, but he caught his hunter and remounted and finished third. In the second race all the horses were scratched a short time before it was to be run, with tho exception of W.

C. Hayes' Trillion. jfr. Hayes rode over the course alone and was awarded the pri7.es. In the first race E.

W. Roby, on Jimcrack, led the Held for two miles and then took a detour from the (lagged course and rode along a lane for a mile to the three mile flag and then rode within the flagged course and finished first, beating R. P. Huntington, who was on Orange Girl, by about fifty yards. For this Mr.

Roby was disqualified and the race given to Mr. Huntington. The third ami fifth races were the most exciting and interesting events of the day. The first three riders in the third race were scarcely half a length apart at the finish. The remainder of tho riders finished about ten feet behind each other.

In tho last race W. C. Hayes, on Right of Way. led the field to within a short distance of the Judge's stand. When about fifty yards from the finish.

Harry Page, who was riding Lady Sylvia, caught up with Hayes and won by a neck. The summaries of the races are as follows: Firs riu'f The lli Mr. cure A steeple chase I run in two classes. iit nn 1 ii. cvy lL t'or reL'i.
