Loss of a Ship.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE ship Harvest
Queen, believed to have been sunk by col
lision in the Irish Channel, had crew of 80
persons all of whom We're lost. The steam
er Adriatic which reached here Sunday
last collided with a vessel, supposed TO have
been lost, on the morning OF Dec. 81 /; but
the captain of the steamer says he did not
regard the affair of sufficient importance TO
mention on his arrival. The Adriatic only
lost her anchor stock, and he thought the
ship suffered less. The owners of the ship
believe that she left Queenstown, where she
touched for orders, Dec. 80, but the dispatch
reporting her loss, says she left there Janu-
ary 9TH. If the dispatch is correct, 1t could
not have been the Harvest Queen the
Adriatic struck. Some OF the Adrlatlc S
crew say they heard cries Tor heip, DuC the
Captain of the steamer declares that two
boats were lowered. The Adriatic fingered
i'm the vicinity for three hours, but no one
was found. One of the Adriatc's sailors
says he was walked up by shock, and heard
a good deal of fault found with the captain
for not lowering boats before backing. He
positively denies that the Adriatic has sunk
the Harvest Queen, and brands the story as
an idle fiction of the seamen OF the steamer.
WEXFORD, IRELAND, Jan. 14.-One dead
body and a quantity of wrecked matter
were found washed ashore near this point,
that some think came from the Harvest
Queen. Some of the wrecking is identified.
MORE ABOUT HARN QUEEN
The owners of the line to which the II r
vest Queen belonged have received a dis
patch stating that the ship left Queenstown
at P. M, Dec. 30 The Adrlatlo ieIC Liver
pool at noon on the same day. The captain
of the Adriatic still positively denies that
any vessel was sunk by his steamer on the
| voyage, and asserts that in the colllsl0n
which occurred between the Adriatlc and a
| ship. off Wexford, Ireland, on the morning
| H., Taaf sol
not touch. A sea captain who was pas
| seuper, corroborates the statement OF the
capta1n of the Adriatic. Altogether, the
cause of the Harvest Queens wreck Is
shrouded in mystery.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Cardinal McClosky,
in addressing catholic union alluded TO the
discussion in relation to the Bible In pup
lie schools, and said: If this persecution
which threatens to come, must come, thei
let it come; we will emerge from 1t better
catholics than ever. This trouble

religious but political tfouDie
