The appalling disaster which has overtaken the British submarine C 11 is the third catastrophe of this nature sustained within recent years bv Eng land. As will be seen from the despatches we print today, the death-roll has dwindled to eleven, but that figure is sufficiently terrible to convey to the mind an idea of the risks incurred by the men who serve in these deadly under-water craft. In the event of disaster the crew of an ordinary merchant vessel or man of war usually have a chance, slight though it may be, of saving themselves. But the men im prisoned in the confined space of a submarine 'go to their duty in the full knowledge that, should their uncanny craft be struck by a passing steamer or other obstruction, their doom is practically seal ed. “Drowned like rats in a trap” is the literal fate that continually overshadows them ; but far from being deterred by the frightful risks attaching to submarine duty, the applicants, both officers and men, are always in excess of the demand. The ser vice, be it understood, is quite voluntary, and car ries but a few pence of extra pay; and we believe that there is absolutely no form of compulsion, di rect or indirect, in recruiting for this class of duty. In spite of the achievements of science and the taking of every humanly conceivable precaution against disaster, the submarine boat is still in its infancy. Once beneath the surface it is more or less blind, particularly after nightfall, when the in genious periscope cannot be brought into requisition. Every instant is fraught with dire peril, and the nerves of those in command must be on a constant strain. Many and varied are the dangerous avoca tions which men pursue, either through a love of adventure of as a means of livelihood; but of all these risky situations we venture to assert that ser vice in a submarine is far and away the most peril ous, and the very fact that there are thousands of men who deliberately volunteer for this duty is an irrefutable argument against the theory that the standard of human courage is diminishing in pro portion to the spread of civilisation. London, July 15. The Admiralty notifies that the steamer that sank the submarine C 11 off Cromer was the “Eddy- stone,” bound to Hull. Three of the crew of C 11 were saved, but thirteen are missing and it is fear ed they were drowned. London, July 16. But few details have as yet been made known respecting the sinking of the submarine C 11. It is said that a cruiser left the Humber yesterday with eight submarines, steering a southerly course; and that, when the convoy were off Cromer, the “Eddystone” steamed through the line of submarines and ran into C 11. In the endeavour to avoid the “Eddystone,” C 16 and C 17 collided, the latter sustaining such damage that she had to be taken in tow. A further official notification vouches for the safe ty of two more of the crew of C 11, so that the number still missing is eleven. According to a later report published by a Ber lin contemporary, the two Lieutenants on board C 11, Brodie and Watkins, were saved. The sub marines were steaming at full speed above water, the oonning-towers were open, and the two Lieute nants and one of the men saved were on the bridge. The “Eddystone,” which is a ship of between 2,000 and 3,000 tons register, steamed ahead without of fering to render assistance. The accident took place at midnight, in clear weather. The sunken boat is lying in 35 fathoms of water. The cruiser “Bona* Ernst Arnold FINE ART STORE (opposite the Royal Schloss) Photographs from the Dresden Gallery and other galleries. Water colours.

The “Eddy stone” has arrived at Hull, and reported that she had been in collision with submarines, but had neither received damage nor picked up any sur vivors. THE STRIKERS IN PITTSBURG. Pittsburg, July 15. Today three thousand more of the Tin Company’s men ceased work, thus associating themselves with the ten thousand already on strike. Besides this total of 13,000 strikers in the metal trade, 14,000 coal miners employed in the Pittsburg coal mines have struck in obedience to the orders of their local Union but without the consent of the executive of the United States. It is believed that the strike will not last long. New York, July 15. The strike at the pits of the Pittsburg Coal Com pany is ended; work was to be resumed today. AVIATION. THE WRIGHT AEROPLANE TESTS. MISHAP AT FORT MYER. Washington, July 13. The Wright aeroplane tests at Fort Myer were resumed this evening by Mr. Orville Wright, who made two unsuccessful attempts at flight. At the first essay he failed to rise into the air. At the second he rose fifteen feet, but with such difficulty that his efforts to ascend brought down the machine. Mr. Orville Wright failed to stop the motor be fore landing, and the machine scraped against a knoll, breaking the cross-bars and skids.—Reuter. MR. CURTIS’S SUCCESS. ineola, Long Island, July 14. Mr. Glen H. Curtis made three successful aero plane flights yesterday evening near here. He main tained a speed of forty miles an hour at an elevation of forty feet, and covered a mile and two-thirds.— Reuter. THE CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG. St. Petersburg, July 15. Sinoe noon yesterday 43 deaths from cholera, and 120 fresh cases, have been reported. The number of cholera patients under treatment is 843. COUNTY COURT DIVORCE. In the House of Lords on Wednesday afternoon, Lord Gorell moved a resolution that jurisdiction to a limited extent in divorce and matrimonial cases should be conferred upon County Courts in order that the poorer classes may have their cases of that nature heard and determined in these courts. The subject, he said, was one of very great im portance, and he felt its gravity and importance. He would not have brought it forward unless he had had long experience of the subject, and unless he had felt, after years of watching this class of case, that it was his duty tq^do so. The motion did not propose to deal with any alteration in the law. It was confined entirely to a matter of pro cedure, and its object was to bring the reform ef fected by the statute of 1857 within reach of those who at present could not afford the cost of pro ceedings in the High Court (hear, hear). More over, the conviction had been forced upon him by long experience that the present state of affairs was adverse to the best interests of public morality. The poverty which he had found in connection with the people who wanted relief prevented large numbers having access to the Court in London. HOUSE OF COMMONS. London, July 15. Although yesterday’s sitting lasted till 9 o’clock this morning, the debate on the Finance Bill was resumed at the usual hour this afternoon. The first five paragraphs were passed with only slight op position, but the proceedings were varied by a per sonal incident in which Earl Winterton, Conser vative member for Horsham, made an unfounded accusation against Mr. Thorne, a member of the Labour party, and had to withdraw it, alleging in excuse the strain of the previous all-night sitting. Sir Edward Grey, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, replying to questions as to the latest news from Persia, said that, so far as was known at the British Embassy at Teheran, foreign persons and property had hitherto suffered no in jury, with the exception of one ascertained instance of the plundering of an English house, and of in considerable damage done to a few houses by rifle fire. Fears had been entertained by the foreign inhabitants of Teheran, but as yet neither the British nor the Russian Embassy had seen reason to take special measures of defenoe. No order had been issued so far to the Russian troops to advance; but troops were held in readiness at Kaswin. Sir Edward added that the situation in Shiraz was such as to cause anxiety; and a Small British force was ready to advance from Bushire in case it should become neoessary to strengthen the Con sular guard at Shiraz for the protection of for eigners and their property. The whole situation was, of course, full of unrest and uncertainty; and wherever, within the British sphere of influence, British or other foreign residents or their property were endangered, Great Britain would do all in her power to protect them. THE SPANISH NAVY. London, July 15. Reuter learns that a contract was signed this week at Madrid between the Spanish Government and an English syndicate for the building of a new Spanish fleet at a cost of seven millions sterling.
