Additional particulars of the destruction of
thirty-three vessels of the Arctic whaling feet
are published in the San Francisco Alta of

captains of the fleet and taken from the Ha-

disaster and personal suffering not often par
alleled. The following is taken from the
sources named -
The scene of the wreck, as taken from the
chart used by the fleet, is situated as follows !:
The most northerly whaler, the Roman,
stood 10 degrees so minutes scrth, and $50
degrees 80 minutes west; the most southerly
stood 20 degrees 35 minutes north, and 100
degrees west. The feet stood in north

Point Mash south. They were in some cases
five abreast, but usually not more than three
They stood at anchor in a strait, having to

the shore. Between the fleet and the shore
was narrow shoal, running the length of
the strait and between this shoal and the
shore was stream of navigable water

found passage from half to three fourths OF
mile IN width, from the shore to the main
pody OF ice, through which they passed As
they advanced it became wider and the fleet
kept ascending
The first difficulty was encountered on the
18th CT August, when the wind shifted To the

Hon. Benz. Wade says there is little
doubt of the reelection of Senator Sher-

then go tor Cox in the legislative ballot
That trick was attempted last year in

Etna Insurance COMPANY.


A special meeting of the stockholders OF
the -Etna Fire Insurance Company was held
on Thursday forenoon, and it was voted to
to reduce the capital stock from 100000,
to 81 100000. Thi. action was verified by
the directors, and official notice at the office
of the Secretary of State from which a GER
tifcate was issued accordingly. The stock
holders then voted to increase the capital a
million and half, bringing it up the char
tered amount, and the directors will hold a
meeting to arrange the terms of payment for
the new stock, several plans being proposed.
This action places the company in possession
of an ample reinsurance fund and it will be
able to meet all the requirements as to ''con-
dition'' which the legislation of any State
requires. The Chicago losses, it was Off
cially announced by the president Mr.. Hen
dee, amount to S3,l00,000. The premium
receipts since the fire have been and are enor-
nous; over 100000 having been taken by
