A Bark Comes Ashore With E'ghteen Smile— The Vessel Pounding in the Breakers— The Crew Unacquainted With the Use of the Breeches Euoy— Eight of Them Finally Reacn Shore. Norfolk, Va., March 27.—The Xorwel plan bark Dictator, from Pensacola, Fla., to West Hartlepool, England, laden with pine •ameer, with a crew of fifteen and t!:e cap tain'sycung wife and little boy of 3 year3, came ashore in a strong easterly gale this morciug, four miles south of Cape Henry and two miles north of the Virginia Beach hotel. The weather was so thick that the vessel wa’ not seen until 9 o'clock, and then she was in the breakers Broadside on, within a quarter of a mile of the shore. Full crews from the lifo saving stations of Cape Henry and Sea tack, under command of Capt. Drinkwater, were promptly on hand and began firing life lines to the ill-fated bark. couldn’t beach thb ship. Tbs guns could not deliver the lines so far, though they were repeatedly fired. The ship finally succeeded in getting a lino ashore tied to a barrel, which the surf carried to the life-savers. A breeches buoy was quickly rigged and sent to the vessel, but unfortunately the bark’s crew were ignorant of its use and rescue was delayed uutil Capt. Drinkw ater of the life saving crew wrote instructions, put them in a bottle and sent them to the Dictator by the line connectiug the vessel with the shore. EIGHT MEN REACH SHORE. The men on board broke the bottle at once, as could be seen by glasses from shore, and proceeded to carry out, the directions. The first man was delivered ashore in eight minutes, and seven others were rescued be fore sunset, four of whom came ashore in a life-boat which was capsized, but the. men succeeded in reaching the shore in a half dead condition, one man having his arm broken. During the entire day the ship rolled and pitched terribly and made the work of rescuing the unhappy sailors exceedingly difficult and 6low, as the lifeline would tighten or slucken iti response to the motion of the vessel. Once the line broke with a man midway to the shore, and he was hauled back to the bark half dead. The line was mended and the same man was safely landed. SPECTATORS ON THE BEACH. The beach was lined with people who had come from the country houses and hotel, and to the spectators the anxiety and sus pense was awful, as they could plainly see the people on the bark and hear their con stant cries for succor. At nightfall there were still nine persons on board of tuebark, and among the number the captain, his wife and little child. The captain urged his wife all during the day to take the buoy and come ashore, but she steadily re fused, is she would not leave her husband and child, and only one could take the buoy at a time. The wife and child were already g reatly exhausted, according to the report of the sailors. THE CAPTAIN LEAVES HIS WIFE. To-night the work of rescue was con tinued, and the captain, after vainly be 6eecbing his wife to make the attempt for life, took his halt-dead child and climbed into the buoy. The father reached the shore but the son was lost. It has been im possible to get the names of the re cued to-night, owins to the fact that they are en tirely exhausted and seem to be foreigners. Lloyd’s register gives the captain’s name as Jorgonson. The bark will be a complete wreck, as she is fast going to pieces aud the sea is still tremendous. The chances are that by daylight to-morrow there will be no vessel in sight, and all remaining on board to-night will be lost. UNABLE TO TAKE AN OBSERVATION. All that could bo gathered from the half- GBaa Bailors as to the caure of the stranding of the vessel was that they did uot know w here they were, the sun not having been v? r four d ays and the weather was so thick last night and this morning that they struck the breakers before they could see the coast. The life savers have worked all day with great dnigenca and heroism, without food since early this morning. The apparently slow progress of the work of rescue is due - 0 tJ® ‘act that the life-boat could not live in the surf and that the guns would not each the bark, and that the crew could not use the breeches buoy until they were in delay*' 6 '-’ from shore, which caused great THE BARK GOES TO PIECES.

Washington, March 27.—The special train which left here March 7 conveying the remains of Senator Hearst and the members of the congressional escort to San Francisco, returned to Washington at 2.15 o’clock this afternoon. Of the congressional committee appointed by the houses of congress to attend the funeral only Senators Sawyer, Barbour, Carlisle and Faulkner, and Representatives Sher man, Gibson and Tucker ca se back on the train, the otheis either having left at con venient points on the route to return to their homes or remained in San Francisco. All the party appeared in good health, • NOT ON A DRUNK. Sergeant-at-Arms Valentine of the Sen ate, who conducted the party out and hack, speaking for the party, denounced the state ments published about its alleged reveling as absolutely untrue. Acoording to Mr. Valentine, the party was sober and dignified, if not funereal, from beginning to end, and behaved as poople ought to behave on fuueral occasions. Its mem bers wero very indignant when they got this morning a newspaper on their way hero and rend Mrs. Gougar’s statement at St. Louis that their behavior was scandalous, that their ears were full cf wines and liquors, and that they had not a drop of water with them. WHAT THEY DRANK. They said that those of the party who drank wins at home drank it at mo ils on the train, but that the railway people said they drank less than the average of private oonbumption. They did drink a great deal of Apolliuaris, and the bottles which Mrs. Gongar saw wore chiefly Apollinaris bottles. Those members of tho party who drink wine, bought several cases of California wine each, in California, and brought it home with them. There was, of course, they say, plenty of water on the train. MBS. GONGAR’B GRIEVANCE. The whole trouble with Mrs. Gongar was, they say, that they would not, because they could not, take, on their train of four cars, the three cbi bof a Moxioau excursion, of which she was a member, which were una ble to get a locomotive at Fort Worth. EXTRAVAGANCE DENIED. Senator Faulkner said the charges of ex travagance and of revelling w. re equally absurd and untrue. Mrs. Hearst invited a number of the ladies who went, and the ex penses of the others were paid by their husbands or fathers. All the United Slates will pay for will be the expenses of the official escort, nineteen senators and representatives aud four officials of the Senate and the House. Ten or fifteen thousand dollars will, it is said, cover the government bill throughout the trip. Senator Faulkner said everybody behaved with perfect dignity. REDEMPTION OJ BOnDS. Fifty Million Collars of Government 4-4’s Due in September. Washington, March 27.—The per cent, loan, of which a little more than f50,- 000,000 is now outstanding, will mature Sept. 1 next. The treasury officials say that there will be no trouble whatever in meeting it, and that it was regarded as a matter of so little concern that it was not thought necessary to bring it to the atten tion of congress. The department stands ready now to redeem these bonds, with in terest to maturity, and the small amount presented each day is taken as an indication that the holders are in no particular hurry to dispose of them. THE DEPARTMENT READY. A prominent official said this afternoon that tho department will be able to redeem them all on the date of maturity if they shall be presented, but that the history of all government loans indicates that there is fio probability of such a thing, as it will be found that a large amount of these bonds will not be presented for redemption for many months after the interest has ceased to run. While the available cash balance in the treasury is now $ 13,000,000, the gov ernment has about $30,000,000 additional deposits in national banks which can be utilized in case of necessity. PURCHASE3 OF* EILVBR. The Government Secures AH It Wants for This Month. Washington, March 27.—Tho offerings of silver for sale to the treasury department to-day amounted to 339,000 ounces, of which 115,000 ounces were purchased at .9810® ,9825 c. The purchases of silver at the local mints daring the current month to date amount to 319,411 ounces. The director cf the mint to-day announced that, the treasury department having pur chased the full amount of silver authorized by law, no furtber purchases will be made until Wednesday, April 1. BISHOP RYAN ILL. His Condition Dangerous and His Friends Alarmed. Washington, March 27.— Bishop Ryan, one of the prelates of the Catholic church, is lying dangerously ill at the Providence hospital in this city, where he was taken from tho Catholio university two weeks ago. A telegram received in this city this morn ing says that Vicar General Gleason and Father Cronin have decided to come to Washington to be with Bishop Ryan, for his friends, in view of his ago and weak condition, are alarmed. KINCAID’A TRIA L. The Defense Tries to Discredit Donel son as a Witness. Washington, March 27.—1n the Kincaid trial to-day the defense began by recalling and cross-examining ex-Doorkocper Donel son for the purpose of discrediting him as a witness; and also proving by him that Representative Taulbeo had made threats against Kincaid’s life. The testimony of other witnesses was directed to showing that Representative Tauibee had __ made threats against Kincaid, and that Kincaid was "weak, feeble and nervous” at the time of the tragedy. BISHOP WILMER ILL. A Fatal Termination of His Sickness Not Improbable. Washington, March 27.— A telegram was received yesterday by Dr. William Holland Wilmer of this city from relatives in Mobile, announcing the dangerous lllnes: of his father, Bishop Wilmer of Alabama, and requesting him to come at onoe. He left at 11 o’clock last night. Bishop Wii mor has not been at all strong for soma time past, and a fatal termination of bis illness is not improbable. New York’s Exchanges Closed. New York, March 27.—A1l the down town exchanges were closed to-day on ac count of its being Good Friday. Services appropriate to the occasion were held in ail of the churches. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY. MARCH 28, 1891. A WAR SPECK IN EUROPE. RUSSO - FRANCO MOVEMENTS CLOSELY WATCHED. The First Shot Will be Fired in the Fall if an Outbreak Cccurs-Eng land's Obligation to Defend Belgian Neutrality— The Newfoundland and Egypti irAjuestion Mixed Cp. (.Copyrtyhted, 1891, bv the Xete York Associated Press.) London . March 27. —Lord Salisbury .just before starting for San Remo, held a long conference with Lord Kuutsford and Mr. Currie, permanent secretary of the foreign office. A work of supreme difficulty, requiring the must delicate handling, was confided to Mr. Currie, relating to the engagements of England to protect Bel gium. King Leopold, during his recent visit, pressed for an answer as to what prac tical co-operatiou England would give, under the existing treaty, for the defense of Belgian neutrality in the event of a war. Lord Salisbury, according to a report credited within the foreign office, promised English aid by a fleet aud contingent of troops, if demanded, to defend Antwerp, leaving the Belgian army free for defensive operations in the forts of the Mease. war looked for. Something occurring behind the scenes of European diplomacy sharpens the appre hension that the final move in the long game preluding war will not long be de layed. Apart fi om the renewal of the con centration on the Russian-Austrian frontiers and the czar’s demonstrative friendship for President Carnot, it is reported that an agreement has been reached between the French and Russian governments in regard to a simultaneous mobilization of troops and other movements in the event of war. The heads of tho Eurooean powers seem to t o informed of the Rus-ian scheme of at tack, which is likely to declare itself In the autumn. The question of Belgian neutrality is ultimately associated with England’s at titude in such a c nfliet, and it will be Lord Salisbury's justification if tho agreement with King Leopold comes up in parlia ment. knutbford’s presence. The presence of Lord Knutsford at the conference with Lord Salisbury was prob ably due to the relations of Newfowland with other disputes ith France. Questions of which notice has already been given in the House of Commons to be answered after the Easter recess demand that the government explain whether or not the fisheries trouble has become a mere pawn on the diplomatic chess board on which English occupation of Egypt is king. Lord Knutsford damaged his reputation among the conservatives through his tact less treatment cf the Newfoundland matter. He required coaching by Lord Salisbury, who is blamed within his own circle for allowing the colonial minister too free a hand. NEWFOUNDLAND AND EGYPT. Sir Charles Dilke, in an article written for to-morrow’s papers, discloses the source of the uneasiness prevailing among the ministerialists. "It,’' he says, “the strange arbitrators picked up iu the Russian for eign office and elsewhere should for polit ical reasons declare against us, then the medus vivendi under the Knutsford bill, becoming an act, would be forced upon the colonials by deeds of civil war. If Newfoundland was an American state France would sell her rights in five min ut> sto the United States. She only refuses to sell them to England because she is irri tated about Egypt.” Sir Dilke is right. Inner official circles distrust arbitration. They fear the results of the proposed arbl tra ion and know that the fate of New foundland is inter-knit with the govern ment’s Egyptian policy. RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA. The Dominion Commissioners Heady to Btart for Washin -ton. Boston, Mass., March 27.— The Herald's Ottawa special says a meeting of the cabi net was held yesterday In connection with the proposed visit of the Canadian commis sioners to Washington, but no decision as to the date of their departure was reached. For several days past continuous corre spondence has been passing between Sir Julian Pauncefote and the Dominion gov ernment regarding important preliminaries, which Secretary Blaine insists upon being definitely settled before he will receive the Dominion representatives. ready to start. It was learned by the Herald correspond ent, in the highest official circles, that Sir Charles Tupperand his colleagues are ready to start at a moment’s notice when Secre tary Blaine intimates he is ready for a con ference. A prominent member of the cabi net said yesterday that he had little faith in anything being accomplished in the direc tion of reciprocity with the United States, and he believed that Canada could pull through and be better in the end without the proposed commercial alliance.' BUNCO 3D OUT OF $3,000. The Alliance President of Arkansas Fleeced by Sharpers. St. Louis, March 27. — A special to tho Republic from Fayettosville, Ark., says: “Capt. W. D. Dowell, a well-to-do farmer and state treasurer of the farmers’ alliance of Arkansas, was bunooed out of $3,000 yesterday by three sharpers. It was the same old gane. Capt. Dowell loaned one of the men money with which to cover a wager on a game of cards made by an ap parent stranger. The stranger did not fin ish the game, but put tho money ia his valise, drew a pistol as though he was going to shoot, and departed. His whereabouts are unknown. Tha other two men were captured and gave their names as Dr. How ard and Judge Baker of Springfield, Mo.” GOLD FOR EUROPE Lazrrd Brothers rake $700,000 From the Sub-ireasury at New York. New York, March 27.— Lazard Freres to-day took $700,000 in gold from the sub trea'ury for shipment abroad to-morrow. The amount vras paid by the sub-treasury two-fifths in double eagles, two-fifths in half eagles, and one-fifth in e .gles The ac ion of the officials in paying out so large a proportion in small pieces was decided on as a rule to be followed by them hereafter on all withdrawals for export. The priv ilege of packing gold in kegs in the sub treasury building was alio withdrawn. THREE BURNED TO DEATH. A Private Hotel at Austin, Pa., Burned to the Ground. Acbtin, Pa., March 27.— Fire this morn iug in the Commercial Hotel and boarding house of R. Henry totally destroyed the building. Three lives were lost: Lizzie McGanck, a domestic; Jack McCarty, a boarder, and an unknown man. The ad joining property was badly damaged. The origin of tho fire is unknown. The leas is about s<.ooo. BLAINB IN HIS OFFICE. Harrison Calls to bee Him and They Have a Talk. Washington, March 27. Secretary Blaine drove through the snowstorm to the state department this morning, but did not attend the cabinet meeting. L anting that Secretary Blame would not be at the cabi net meeting, President Harrison walked over to the state department in the teetn of the driving snow and was closeto.l with Secretary Blaine for an hour iu the private office of the Secretary of State. This uu u-ual occurrence started several sensational rumors, the most promiue t of which was that Secretary Blaine had determined to leave the cabinet aud that the President was trying to prevail upon him to remain. THU RUMORS DENIED. All these rutnors were promptly denied, and it was given out that the President and the premier were discussing, us they have discussed at several interviews at Secretary Blaine’s house during the past ten days, the three pending questions as to foreign rela tions—first, the Bering sea matter, which, it is announced, is shortly to be referred to an arbitrator, the negotiations for a con vention to siTect a close season for a term of years to come; second, the reciprocity agreements with the oountnos south of us,' and awaiitng the decision of the Madrid cabinet, as to which Secretary Blaine has had several cable communications from Special Envoy Foster, pointing out the diffi ulties in his way; aud third, the MacDonald Canadian reciprocity scheme, to which neither Secre tary Blaine nor the President as yet attach any importance. They regard it as nothing but a meretricious attempt on Sir John MacDonald’s part to seem to redeem his aute-eleoticn promises, out of which nothing of value or importance to this country can come. A BOON FOR BBAKEMEN. Leading Railroads Adopting Auto matic Brakes and Coupl s. New York, March 27.—Tho Engineer ing News will publish this week the follow ing statement of tho progress made in tho equipment of freight cars with automatic couplers of the type adopted by the Mas.er Car-builders’ Association, and with auto matic air brakes: “Railroad companies controlling over 75,000 miles of road and over 700,000 freight cais report that they have adopted the policy of applying auto matic couplers of the master cur-builders’ typo to the new freight cars, and over 99,000 cars were equipped on Jan. 1, 1891.” AUTOMATIC BRAKES. “Concerning the application of automatic brakes, railway companies controlling 87,915 miles of railway and 098,875 cars, re port the adoption of the policy of equipping now freight cars with the automatic brake, and about 150,000 were equipped with th ca brakes on Jan. 1, 1891. Resoles the com panies included iu these totals, a great num ber of companies have begun the use of the couplers and brakes, but have not yet adopted a definite policy with regard" to them. BEYOND THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE. “These statistics show that two reforms of such enormous importance from a hu manitarian standnoint have advanced fur beyond the experimental or doubtful stage, and the example of the prominent roads which have adopted the progressive policy above stated is sure to be followed sooner or later by the smaller railways all over the country.” IRON WORKS SOLD. Cramp & Sons Buy One of the Larg est Plants in the Country. Philadelphia, Pa., March 27.—The ship building firm of William Cramp & Sons has ended negotiations for the pur chase of the great Port Richmond Iron Works of the I. P. Morris Company.

Every One in the Building Facapee Unhurt Dock laborers Liston to Parnell at Sligo Healy Hopes to Reach There Tueeday-Hia Accusa tion Considered 700 Hasty. Cork, March 27. —The court house was discovered to be on fire to-day while the judge was summing up the case against O'Brien, Dalton and others, charged with rioting at Tipperary. Everybody got out safely. The fire was disoovered by a bar rister, who noticed the reflection of the flames on the glass dome of the roof. The court was paoked at the time, and only the coolnoes of the judge and police prevented a panic. THE BUILDING! ALL ABLAZE. Despite all efforts to extinguish tbo fire the flames spread rapidly and the building was soon all ablaze. The court house, in cluding the municipal oouncil chamber and city and c mnty offices, was totally destroyed. The intense heat melted the lead on the roof of the building, and the molten metal poured to the ground in streams, hindering the work of the firemen. During the bight of the fire the roof of the court house suddenly fell in with a crash and the v> alls collapsed, to the immiuent peril of a large number of by-staudei s. Some of the archives were snved. Mauy documents, some of them dating back for centuries, wore destroyed. When the flagstaff which sur mounted the building was burned away and the union jock fell into the flame* the on lookers set up a great cheer. The cans iof the fire is attributed to a defective fluo, wide i ignited the woodwork of the roof. The trial, which was so rudely disturbed, will be resumed at a later date. THU CAMPAIGN IN SLIGO. (Copyrighted, 1801, by the New York Associated Prest.) London, March 27.—Timothy Healy Is hopeful to-night that he will be able to go to Bligo Tuesday. The Darnellites got up a deputation of Sligo dock laborers in order to give their obief a chance to expatiate on his labor sympathies. Replying to the deputation’s address, Mr. Parnell declared that ever since he was 21 years ot age he had felt keenly for tho cause of the laborers; that he had encouraged his own employes to form unions; that be never had any work man in his mines who had struck, and that there had always been perfect accord be tween him ami his employes. In a subse quent freo conversation members of the deputation acknowledged that their views had been changed, and they left Darnell vowing that his candidate should be theirs. Michael Davitt will opportunely arrive on the scene to-morrow to dispol the Dar nell glamor. hsaly’s hasty accusation. Mr. Hoaly’s accusation that Messrs. Par nell and Valentine Dillon incited the Dalton outrage will ho the Bubjectof an action to bo brought by Mr. Dillon after the N rth Bligo contest has been decided. Tho general feel ing is that Mr. Healy ought to have bad substantial evidence before speaking. The language usei on both sides is becoming utterly unrestrained. 'The Dublin evening organ of the Darnellites calls tho McCarthyite* “a stinking carrion floating ou tho stream of corruption.” It apologizes for Dalton’s at tack on Mr. Healy as being provoked by “libolous work con ducted under eminent Christian patronage.” RESPONSE OK THE I'RIESTB. The practical response of tho priests to the continued abuse of their order has been to suppress the circulation of the Parnollite press. 'The leading Parnellito paper has lost, over 5,000 clerical subscribers. Archbishop Walsh will leave Rome on Tuesday, bearing the deliverance of the pone invoking the people to sustain the church during her present trial. Com-r municattons wired to the vatioun urge that tho papal message he i ead in the churches on the Sunday prior to the Bligo election. But Archbishop Walsh, obtaining informa tion that the district needed no external impulse to go solid against Mr. Darnell, has postponed announcing the message until his return. The re'-uring of Sligo will give a total to tho nationals in parliament, counting John Dillon and William O’Brien, of 52 members against 82 Darnellites. The funds of the national federation are daily increasing, while tho Darnellite funds are nowhere. O’SHEA SUES A BISHOP. Dublin, March 27. —It is announced that Capt. O’Shea has brought suit against the Catholic bishop of Galway and Kilmac daugb, Francis J.

Harvey and Mr. Pitts. The delegates will leave by the first steamer for England via Halifax. SATISFACTION IN FRANCE. London, March 28, 3 a. m.—The Journal del Dibats of Paris in an article on the Newfoundland question, expresses satisfac tion with the convention recently concluded. It regards the presence of Queen Victoria and Lord Salisbury in France as an excellent symptom of the situa tion. England, it says, has acted perfectly correc ly toward France, but has displayed remarkable weakness in dealing with Newfoundland. Commenting on the calls of the British press to suppress the Utrecht treaty, the Journal reminds them that the same treaty gave Gibraltar to England. In conclusion the Journal says that France will relinquish none of her rights. The Times, commenting on the foregoing, warns France that England does not intend to dragoon her colonies, and reminds New foundland that foreign opinion asks whether she has any desire to become a French col ony.

Leading Theologians Still Discussing the Question* Involved. (Copyrighted, 1891, by the .Veto York Associated Prett. ) London, March 27.—The Wesleyan agi tation over biblical inspiration is extending to otbor churches. Deeding theologians keenly discuss Prof. Davison's criticism of the tenet of verbal inspiration. Three Wes leyan professor*, Bank* of Headingley col lege, winter of Didst tury and Mc- Donald of lianaworth college, concur in the opinion that Prof. Davison’s paper ought not to dismay the orthodox. They argue that it is necessary! to reconcile the popular aud scientific views of the scriptures. Dr. Clifford describes it as “well balanced, luminous and breathing In tellectual sincerity of Weiley.” A Scotch professor (Brucet counts tbe Wesleyan ministry's attitude as a token that God is guiding his church in the path of wisdom through a critical porlod of his tory.
