[From the Boston Traveller, March 2j.f
About a year ago last month the
schooner Andy johnson, Mcclellan,
master, of Salem. started for Georges
Banks on a fishing cruise, and has
not been heard from since. About
that time the schooner Haskell came
in collision with a vessel in the
nighttime on the banks, and sunk
her, leaving a large piece of the
rail of the unknown vessel on
her bows. The pieces cores
ponded with Andy johnson, and is
supposed to be the last relic of her.
The Haskell started last month for
the banks. and the first night on the
fishing grounds had bad weather.
-Four of the men were on deck, when
suddenly there appeared othem four
of the missing men of the crew of the
johnson, who ordered them home.
They were frightened and called the
rest of the crew, told them what they
had seen, and prevailed upon them to
return home and give up the voyage,
which they did. leaving the schooner
on her arrival.
The owners then shipped a new

former crew would go in her, and she
again left for the Banks where she ar
rived in good time, and they again
tried their luck. Bad weather again
met the schooner, and when all
hands were on deck eleven men ap-
peared to them and took their lines
from them, ordering them te return
at once, which they did the next
morning. Arriving off the harbor of
Gloucester, they anchored the schoon-
er and took their small boats to land,
giving a reason that they were afraid
to take the vessel to Gloucester, as
- -. Co., IN
owaers sent tug boat and toWed the
Haskell to their wharf, and now she
: reported as having returned third
time empty. Fhis--is. q strange and
curious tale, but it is voucned 9faE by
reliable parties as true. It has crea-
ted great deal Of excitement in the
ports of.Salem aud Gloucester.

any further information than already
before the House G, and what tho Gov

to the recent murder at Fort Garry.
j. A. Mcdonald said he could only
state that the Government is fully
aware and can appreciate the gravity
of the position. We have done so
during the winter, and indeed ever
since the events of last October, till
now. We understand and fully ap-
preciate the responsibility that rests
upon US. We have been in con-
slant communication with Her Mai
esty's Government on the subject, and
the two Governments are In unison
and for one object, and that is to gov
ern that country as a portion of Her
Majesty's Dominion, and to assert Law
and order there. He said the line o.
conduct had been settled upon, bu
what it would be, must be withhelC
from the House at present.

The German Hive.

Every year Germany sends a quar-
ter of million OF her children out
side of her borders, and she still in
creases in population as rapidly as
any nation In Europe. Germany
contributes emigrants to Australia In
about the same proportion that she
does to the United States, and furn-
ishes almost exclusively. the foreign
increase in Algeria and the various
Russian provinces of European and
Asiatic Russia. There is an emigra-
ton from Switzerland into these
countries, which cannot be more than
a small percentage of the whole, and
some Italians are constantly migrating
to Greece. Butthe bulk Of all for
eign immigration into other countries,
except America and Australia, is un-
deniably furnished by the German
people. In six years, toward the end
of the last century, 169 German colo

Government of Sanara, and Saratow,

Empire. A constant German emf
grafton, too, has taken place during
the last six years to the country bor-
dering on the Amour. in Russian
Asia. If such a depletion had taken
place In France or Italy, the popula-
ton would evidently have decreased
to a considerable extent, whilst Ger
many and Switzerland stand it with

males and females emigrate IN about
equal numbers from Germany and
Switzerland, partly accounts for this
circumstance, but the principal reason
doubtless lies In the vigorous consti-
tuition of the Germans. IF the places
of those who go abroad were not
promptly filled by inexhaustible ma
tive vitality, the German Govern
ments would have long ago adopted
stringent measures against emlgra-
