Sprung Aleak Saturday Night. and
Keeled Over and Sank—Two of
Her Cre‘w Make Their Escape
In Scent Attire.
' The oyster steamer C. . Lowndes.
owned by Captain William i. Stevens.
Jr..‘is sunk off E. M. Tolles & Com-
‘ pany's wharf. below the Washington
street bridge. and at high water is
nearly submerged, only the“ roof of the
pilot house. and the smoke stack show-
ing above water.
The Lowndes came into Norwalk
harbor. last Saturday afternoon. with a
load of five hundred bushels of oysters.
taken from the beds in the Sound. for
Captain Stanley Lowndes. ’i‘he oys-
ters were to have been unloaded that
night. but an accident to Captain
Lowndes’s steamer. J. Howard
Lowndes. prevented. and the oysters
remained on board the.C. B. Lowndes.
During the night the seams in the up-
per part of the steamer opened. the
water poured into the hold. and the
[Lowndes heeled overand sank. one side
of her being wedged up against the
.dock. Fortunately only two of the
crew of six men were on board the
steamer at the time. They were the
engineer. Lewis Hubbell. and the stew-
ard. Arthur Rowland. They had time
to slip on some of their clothing and
crawl out on the dock before the
steamer settled.
Captain Stevens. who was at his
home in Main street. Rowayton. was
notified of the accident. and yesterday
- morning the-steamer Kate C. Stevens.
in charge of Captain Lewis E. Bay.
‘mond. came. to Sou... Norwalk. The
crew tongé’d ‘ up the” cargo of oysters.
transferring them to the Kate C. Stev-
ens. and they were delivered this morn~
ing.
The damage to the Lowndes will
probably be considerable. as the water
will affect her machinery to some ex-
tent. and injure the interior furnishings
’ ’.of the boat.
it is expected that today wrecking
apparatus will'be sent from New York
‘ for the purpose of floating the Steam-
er . it‘lwlilitll'en'me' necessary to dock
" her for the purpose of making repairs.

FIRB'i‘“ SUNDAY OF~ ADVENT.
Sermoas Heard Yesterday in the Var.
ioue Pulpita of Norwaik.
At the South Norwalk Methodist
Episcopal Church. last evening. Dr.
Streeter preached on the theme:
"Speaking by Authority." The basic
arguments and premises wcre drawn
from the text. “And it. came to pass
when Jesus had ended these sayings.
the people were astounded at his doc-
trine. For he taught them as one hav-
ing authority. and not. as scribes." Dr.
streoter said that Christ was the first
preacher who spoke with authority:
the flrst preacher who presented to the
world original alld personal thought.
relative to truth and righteousness. Be-
fore his coming all preaching and all
preachers were all copyists. but (‘llrist
preached a new life through redemp-
tion. and spoke with authority recelVed
from the Father. Preaching as he did.
from personal experience. in his own
way. with authority by power and love.
his ministry inaugurated the new
Christian era. whose governing prin-
ciples were brotherly love. right doing
and helpfulness.
Rev. P. M. Stl‘aycr. of Pittsburgh
Penn. occupied the pulpit of the South
Norwalk Congregational Church. yes.
terday. and delivered two admirable
sermons. He is an eloquent speaker.
and held the close attention of the
largo congregations throughout the
service. in the morning there was a
vocal solo by Frederick J. Force. and
at. the vespcr service. Miss Edna
Manes Smith. coniralto of the South
Norwalk Methodist Episcopal Quar-
tette. was the soloist. rendering three.
numbers very effectively.
The musical service at the Norwalk
Methodist Church. last evening. at-
tracted a large congregation. The
work of the Male Chorus was highly
spoken of. it was certainly a marked
improvement over the‘earlicr efforts
of the organization. it is proposed to
have them sing once a montll. Rev.
A. C. Boynton. of Rockland. bless. was

THE LAST CONCERT.
W
. Fully Five Hundred People Entertain-
ed‘at Bturtevent’e. Saturda Night.
The largest assemblage at over
gathered in the big Sturtevant store
greeted the talent who appeared there
last Saturday evening. Although the
concert was advertised for 8 o‘clock.
people began teal-rive as early as 6:30.
and by 7 o'clock.,tlle 150 regular seats
were . all occupied. Our Norwalk
friends. who waited for the stylish
hour. arrived to find "standing room
only." and by 8 o'clock the crush ex-‘
tended down the staircase to the. main
floor. where many stood. trying to hear
what was going on up stairs. Fully
500 people attended this. the last COIL
cert this year.
Never did F. J. Force appear to but.
for advantage. than on this occasion.
He was roundly applauded. as was al-
so C. J. Byinglon. who fully deserved
the appreciation shown him. it seem-
ed a case of Norwalk vs. South Norv
walk. both gentlemen being tenors. but
the honors were evenly divided.
Littletou and Gordon, with their fan-
ny songs and jokes. were as happy as
two larks. and their llsellors shared
their pleasure. They are neat. refined
entertainers. and always please.
Miss Maude Keeler gave two very
difficult piano solos. which deserves
special mention. One is well compen-
sated for attending these concerts. by
hearing this young lady alone.
Master Frank Sturtevant. son of the
proprietor, carries considerable of his
father's tact and energy into his vio-
lin: coupled with his other abilities
his performances are masterlv.
Owing to the rearrangement of the
different departments for the holidays,
those concerts will go. discontinued un-
til January next.

Message * e
Delivered ibiofditolnoon at Coll-
veninz of Congress.
EVENTS “Hill“ REVIEWED
The Chinese Question Made the Dam-
inant Question in Our Foreign in-
tercourse, Military Operations
And Diplomatic Steps.
WASHINGTON. December 8~I’res-
ideni McKinlcy's message was deliver-
ed today. at the convening ol' the sec-
ond session of the Fifty-sixth Con-
dress.
The message opens with a brief sur-
vey of the the growing strength and
increasing power for good of lbepnblb
can institutions and American liberty
at the outgoing of the old and the in-
coming of the new century. The Chln~
use problem is made the dominant
question in our foreign intercourse and
an elaborate review is made of the de-
tails of military operations and diplo—
matic steps taken In the progress of
the settlement up to the. present time
and which have been made known to
the. public by oftlcialannouncements in
the past. The circular note to the pow-
ers of July 3. is cited and reafflmed.
and the opinion is expressed that con‘
diitions give hope of a complete settle-
ment of all questions involved. The
socurement of an misquote guarantee
for liberty of faith is pllt forward as
one of the essential factors of a dur-
able adjustment. "Since insecurity of
those natives who may embrace alien
orceds is a scarcely loss eifcctual as
sanlt on the rights of foreign worship
and teaching than would be the direct
invasion thereof."
Touching upon the possible inabll
ity of China to pay a sufficient money
indemnity the president says:
“i am disposed to think that due
compensation may be made ill part by
increased guarantees of security “31
foreign rights and immunities. and
mast important of all. by the openin:
of China to the equal commerce of al
the world. These views have been and
will be earnestly advocated by our rep
resentatives."
in the event of protracted diverg
once of views in the negotiations the
president favorably inclines to Run
sia’n suggestion that the matter of in
demnltles be relegated to the Court
of Arbitration at The Hague.
In touching upon the Paris Expost
tion the message devotes a congratu
latol'y paragraph to the United State
exhibits. ill being not only the largest
display. but among the earliest in
place and best arranged and more
colllpietcly covering the entire clnssi
ill-aliens than that of any otllcr nation
ranking llcxi in total number uftol
those of France itself. ’I‘llc llwardlnt
of a large number of prizes to Amerl
can exhibitors than to those of any 0th
or nation is accepted as a striking rec
ognitlon of the merits of the exhibits
Uncertainty is expressed as to the
prospect of our well nigh extinguished
German trade under the new burden
of the meat. inspection law and the
confident hope is expressed that lur
tbcr regulations will be free from past
discriminations.
'l‘he speedy and complete establish
meat of the frontier line to which we
are entitled under the Russo-American
treaty for the ccsslon of Alaska is rock
ommendod ill view of the possibility Oi
friction in the workings of the modus
vivcnlll.
Taking the lyncllings of italians a.
Tallulah as a text. the president l‘c»
news recommendations that Federal
Courts have jurisdiction in interaction
ai cases where the ultimate responsi-
bility of the Federal government may
be involved. The president advises in
conclusion that Congress lnakc grac-
ious provisions for indemnity to these
liailan sufferers in the same form and
proportion as heretofore.
Satisfaction ls expressed at the for-
mal notification of tile ratification of
The Hague treaty by the United
States. Austria. Belgium. Denmark.
England. France. Germany, ltllly, Per.
sia. Portugal, Roumanln. Russia. Slam.
Spain. Sweden and Norway. and The
Netherlands. Japan is added to the
list.
Regarding the Nicaraguan Canal. the
information is given that the Nicara-
guan government shows a disposition
to take measures to promote the water
way. after having declared the so-styl-
ed Eyro-Cragln option void. The re
port of the Commission. it is recom‘
mended. may be awaited. The conven-
tion with Great Britain to remove any
objections which might arise out of the
Clayton~Bulwer treaty to the construc-
tion of the canal is commended to the
early attention of the Senate.
Turkish relations are dismissed with
the assertion that "We await the fat-
flllnlent of the promise of the Sultan
to make reparation for the injuries
suffered by American citizens in Ar—
menia. and elsewhere in the Turkish
empire."
The recommendation is made that
the Senate take action on tho comnlcr»
clal conventions submitted at the last
session looking to the operation of the
policy of reciprocity.
A paragraph is also devoted to the
Pan-American Exposition of Buffalo.
and to a commendation of its purpose.
The financial operations by the gov.
eminent during the year are reviewud
in detail. "it will be the duty as I am
sure it. will be the disposition of the
Congress." says the prostdcnt.’ "to pro«

The president calls attention to the.
passage in his last annual message for
early action to remedy such evils as
might be found to exist in connection
with combination of capital organized
into trusts. antllhe repeats the lan-
guage of the previous message. adding:

tuted tho funeral party were vacant at

Aside from the sadness caused by
the passing away of dear friends. per-
sonal as well as official, the opening
of the session was notably brilliant.
As lilo senators assembled today. po
litical greetings were exchanged .as
