English Grain and Trade Prospects,.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The Mark Lane Ec-
press says: Some little progress has been
made with agricultural labor. Supplies of
home grown wheat continue very moderate,
both in Mark Lane and the provincial mar
kets, but taking all things into considera-
ton, the present aspect of dull trade APP
pears to be sufficiently sound to Justify
farmers in withholding their produce as long
as possible, and the continuance of light Of
ferings indicates the expectation of better
prices later on. Business has been restricted
owing to the impaired condition of most
samples, it having been quite impossible to
thresh with satisfactory results. The alb
sence of speculation has been largely felt in
the grain trade, and the spirit of CONNER
cial enterprise has been broken by the Sc
we're financial yicissitudes through which the
general trade of the country is passing, but
brighter days for the merchant and agricul-
turist may be looked for with the new year.

What Capt. Pridehard Says.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Capt. Pridehard, Of
the barque Noel lillian, is very reticent and
refuses to show his log. He says he was
going down the channel at five knots an
hour. He was on deck. The Noel Eilian had
been sounding her fog horn all night until
the steamers lights were visible. The col
lision occurred almost before those on board
the Noel lillian were aware. The blow was
glancing one. The barque bounded off
and he did not again see the steamer. Capt.
Pridehard thought he was sinking. The
Noel Eilian was too much disabled to render
assistance. Seven feet of her bow was car
ried away. Herslights wero burning brig ht-
ly at the time. She was sailing free on the
starboard tack. The Pomerania ran across
her bows and came onto to the port bow by
turning her around completely and then
went away at full speed. He was not aware
the Pomerania had sunk until he arrived at
Folkestone.

Mrs. ohrnstei,.,s Statement.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Mrs. Ohrnstein says
that she had retired and waslawakened by
terrific crash. She sprang from her berth
and gained the deck where sall was impen-
etrable darkness. The steerage passengers
were crying loudly. She was pushed towards
life boat, which was just then being low
cred. Even after getting afoat there seemed
little hope for safety, but they soon saw the
lights of the Glengarry, which took them on
board. All speak in the highest terms of
the captain, who was on the bridge nearly
all of the previous three days and nights.
The Pomerania landed fourteen first class
passengers and twenty-six others at Cher
bourg.

Il CHIP from the Largest Tree In the Worlt:
n Mammoth Production of "t7se Gtori-
osss Climate of Culiforny."
San Francisco Post.l
In sand lot on Market street, near Sixth,
adjoining the Central market and encircled
by a circus tent of ample Dimensions, is a
section of the largest tree in the world ex-
ceeding the diameter of the famous tree of
Calavaras by five feet. This monster of the
vegetable kingdom was discovered in 1874
on Tule river, Tulare county, about seventy
five miles from Visalla. st some remote
period, its top had been broken off by the
elements of some unknown forces, yet when
discovered it had an elevation of two hundred
and forty feet. The frank of the tree was
one hundred and eleven feet in circumfer-
ence, with a diameter of thirty-fve feet four
inches. The section on exhibition is hol-
lowed out, leaving about a foot of bark and
several inches of wood. The interior is one
hundred feet in circumference and thirty
feet in diameter, and it has seating capacity
of about two hundred. It was cut off from
the tree about twelve feet above the base,
and required the labor of four men for nine
days to chop it down. In the centre of the
tree and extending through it's whole length
was rotten core about two feet in diameter,
partially filled with the soggy, decayed
vegetation that had fallen into it from the
top, in the centre of this cavity was found
the trunk of a little tree of the same species,
having perfect bark on it, and showing re-
gular growth. It was of uniform diameter,
an inch and half all the way, and when the
tree fell and split open, this curious stem
was traced for nearly one hundred feet,
usually straight, but occasionally guarded
and twisted as though it had met impedi-
ments in its growth It is believed to have
sprung from q seed in the bottom, grown
the whole length of the trunk, and supported
a green, living top at the summit. The
rings in this monarch of the forest show it's
age to have been 1910 years. Centuries

Commissions Revoked.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 26.-The Governor
has this day issued an order revoking the ap-
pointments of all commissioners of deeds is

Jan. LIST next. Up to about 1867, it had been
the custom to appoint commissioners to hold
Office during the pleasure of the Governor
and Of those thus appointed there are about
1920, concerning whom there is no infor-
nation. Therefore, that the records may
show who are now acting as commissioners,
as well as in justice to those who are now ap-
pointed and required by law to pay fee of

seemed advisable to issue the order as above

4 Noble Captaiu-I,acidents.


LONDON, Nov. 26.-The various accounts
OF survivors concur in praising Captain
Schwenson and his officers, but represent
that the crew only added to the confusion by
determination to save themselves. Captain
Schwenson, to quell the excitement, told the
passengers the vessel was aground. Roder-
lex Schneider, o passenger s. atesg the cap
tain, replying to repeated entreaties to get
into one of the boats, asked them to stand
along, when the mated shouted HWe have
waited long enough The captain told
them to pull away a little and wait. Just
then the vessel sank. AS she went down
Captain Stevenson threw up his arms and
exclaimed, "Oh, God" While the boat was
rowing about we saw many
people in the water, with life
preservers wrongly put on so that the lower
part of the body was floating, while the
head was under water. The conduct of the
second boatswain on board the steamer in
endeavoring to save the ladies was admir-
able, and the carpenter stood by with a
Ratchet threatening to kill anybody who
attempted to rush into the boats.
Mary Clymer says she was in the same
birth with her sister Rose. They were
awakened by the crash and rushed on deck
half dressed to where the boats were being
put off. They were there joined by their
brother, who assisted her, Mary into the
boat. A sailor threw Rose in, but she fell
into the water and had to be dragged out
Young CIymer, who remained on
the steamer, seeing the boatfull and sailors
trying to get aboard, thus endangering the
lives of all, cut the ropes and set her adrift,
