SHIPWRECKED.
STEAMSHIP LOST IN A STORM
Passengers and Crew at the Mercy of
tho wayes-Hopes Entertained
for the Safety OF the
Missing.

London, Dec. 24.-The owners of
the steamer Borussa allege that they
believe the vessel is still afloat, as she
is built with water tight compartments,
and that she is still in the track of the
American vessels. The third officers
boat was the last to leavs the ship.
Among the other boats was large boat
containing twenty Spaniards, and the
mates boat Containing thirteen per-
sons. Those, when last seen, presuma-
bly, by the third officers boat, were do
ing well. The third officer made an
unsuccessful attempt to tow another
oatcontaining two men. The crew of
the steamer, when the boats left, were
building RATS, and the wind was then
blowing gale. 1t is asserted at the
office of the agents that the captain did
his duty manfully.
In his statement, the third officer of
the Borussa says that the large boat
containing twenty Spaniards and the
mates boat containing thirteen persons
had left the Borussa, life boat con-
tanning two of the stewards of the
steamer got adrift. He was sent after
this boat by the captain, and took
charge of it, taking his own boat, in
which five men were left, in tow, but
the boat was swamped and all on board
drowned. The third officer endeavored
to again reach the Borussa, which was
fast sinking, but was unable to make
headway against the wind. He was
ultimately compelled to abandon the
attempt and run before the wind.
The agents at Liverpool state that
there were one cabin and sixty-four
steerage passengers from Liverpool for
New Orleans, and eighty steerage pass
engers from Corunna for Havana.
London: The bark Fulda has arrived
at Liverpool with five Spaniards who
were saved from the Borussia. Owing
to their inability to speak English, it is
difficult to get from them connected
narrative of the terrible haIdships they
have undergone. Their boat, before it
left the Borussia, contained besides the
Spaniards the mate and three women,
but no sooner was the boat lowered
than it was partly stove by knocking
against the steamer. The mate and
women accordingly returned to the
wreck, but the Spaniards partly stopped
the hole in the boat with some clothes,
and their rope breaking they were cast
off from the steamer. They had some
provisions, but none of them knew
anything of seamanship. For five days
and six nights they were tossed about,
suffering terribly, when they were OBJ
served by the bark. They knew moth
ing of the fate of the Borussia.

THE WAY VANDERBILT sUCCEEDEp.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was
running steamboats,, he beat all rivals
by crowding on steam to the utmost.
and even running down his enemy if
necessary, to accomplish Il triumph.
When he went into railroading, he
adopted a much sllrewder and more
successful way, by uniting vast lines
and their tributaries under his own
management, thus capturing all rivals,
by sharing with them the immense pool
of profits that were made by his skillful
manipulation. Messrs. Lawrence & Co.,
Bankers, n. Y, accomplish much
greater success in stock operations by
their new Combination Method of deal
ing. BY this system the orders of thou
sands OF customers are pooled into one
vast sum and co-operoted under the
most experienced management, thus
giving to each shareholder all the bene-
fits of large capital and best skill. Pro-
fits divided monthly. Any amount from
so to S25, 900 can be used with great
success. SIS will make S75 profit. $50
would return 1920 or per cent. on the
stock during the month, according to
the market. The new circular (mailed
free)has 1.-TWO unerring rules for sue
cess" and full explanations, so that
any one can operate proftably. Stocks
and bonds wanted. Government bonds
supplied. Apply to Lawrence & Co.,

London, Dec. 24.-There is much
dissatisfaction among the Irish people
because the government has not applied
the surplus Of the Irish church fund
for the relief of the popular distress,
which they are empowered to do by the
laws of the disestablishment act. The
directors and members Of the society
of st. Vincent DePaul have published
a declaration that the eleemosynary
systems are a mockery and a delusion,
If intended to adequately meet the
deep and dreadful famine now ap-
preaching. Archbishop McCabe, of
Dublin, has issued o circular to the
clergy Of his diocese asking them to ap-
point day for collections in their
churches. and to urge their parishoners
to contribute.

FnIGrD WAVE.
Extreme Cold weather ON the Pacific
Coast.

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-For the
past two days the weather throughout
the Pacific slope has been almost un-
precedently cold. The harbor of Vic
toria, Vancouver island, is frozen over
and there is great deal of floating ice
in Puget sound. Navigation on the
upper Columbia and Willamette rivers
has been suspended and the stock in
eastern Oregon and northern California
is suffering severely. The thermome-
ter ranges in the valleys of California
at from twenty to thirty degrees above
zero. There is skating at Modesto,
San joaquin valley, this morning.
Fruit has sustained considerable dam
age in some localities, but the agricultu-
raj prospects are very favorable gener-
ally. AT Prosser creek, on the Central
Pacific road, just beyond the California
line, the thermometer stood, this morn
ing, at thirty-six degrees below zero.
In the city, this morning, ice had
formed strong enough to bear a mans
weight, and in some cases water pipes
were frozen.

The oppo.itlon 70 Gov. Emerx.

New York, Dec. 24.-The opposition
to the re-appointment of Gov. Emery,
of Utah, is becoming very aggressive.
Mr.. Mcbride, of Salt Lake City, one of
the most prominent lawyers of the ter
ritory, came to Washington to attend a
recent meeting Of the national republi-
can committee, and during his stay hs
called upon the president in relation to
to the governor OF Utah. He is under
stood to make ilo accusations agaist
Gov. Emery, but he represents to the
president that the gentiles in Salt Lake
City desire the appointment of some
man who is more outspoken in his op-
position to mormonlsm and in whom
they would have more confidence in
case of trouble. Mcbride does not
complain of anything which Gov.
Emery has done or left undone, but
fears he may not prove equal to any
emergency that may arise.

MAD MAINEITES.
both PARTIES READY TO FIGHT.
The Fusionists Called Together for
Orgnnixntion-Repub Rea-
dy TO Take Hand-Bad
Outloolx

Chicago, Dec. PA special from
Boston to the Tribune: says the confer
ence of tie leading republicans at Sen
ator Blaine's house in Augusta, Maine,
was of very important nature. Sew
eral gentlemen who had distinguished
themselves in the late war were pres
ent.
From every portion of the state
comes the news of aroused and indig-
nant republicans, who will not be satis-
fed until they gain their rights this
year. Business gives way to the ex-
citement that prevails everywhere.
Evidences of the frauds perpetrated by
the governor and council in some of
the representative districts are accumu-
lating every day, and, if it were possi-
BILE to obtain hearing before the gov
ernor and council, their infamy would
be shown up to the light of day.
Many republicans of influence counsel
peace, but the majority are in favor Of
seating the elected members of the
legislature at any hazard.
Pillsbury, the leading conspirator in
this affair, had meeting at Granite
hall this evening, composed of rabble
of roughs, to sustain the action of the
governor and council. 1t was forced
and very tame affair.

RAILROAD RuMORs.
a Monster Syndicate Reported az
Formed.


Formed.
Special to,the Denver Tribune.
Chicago, Dec. 23.-Quite an excite-
ment, as well as sensation, has all day
existed in railway circles, arising from
the publicity given by the Chicago
Tribune to a story that the managers
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad are having conference in New
York with Jay Gould and his syndi-
cate, and their object is to make an ar
rangement by which the syndicate is to
have virtual control of this company's
lines. The story runs that within the
past week arrangements have been
made between the Atchison, Topeka
& Sante Fe, the Kansas Pacific inter-
est, and the Denver s. Rio Grande
railroads, by which the last named is
to distribute its patronage between the
two former.
1t is also understood that new pool
ing arrangements have lately been
made between the Union Pacific, Kan
sas Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroads.
The third point is that all litigation
between the Santa Fe and Rio Grande
roads is to cease, and a new company,
to be formed jointly to build from
Pueblo to Leadville and beyond, is to
assume all the rights of both companies
through the Grand cafion.
In conclusion, the article says it is
easy to see what has induced the Santa
Fe people to join hands with Gould and
his syndicate. They are the same rea-
sons that have induced Vanderbilt and
Scot to cast their lots with this all
powerful aggregation.
Tonight at all the hotels this matter
is the principal topic of discussion,
and many say that such thing as
Gould getting any control of the Santa
Fe road is impossible, and that there
can be no alliance by the Santa Fe peo-
Pile with Gould.

EDIsox,s ELECTRIC LIGHT.
A Private Exhibition of the wonder
ful Invention.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The Journals
New York correspondent was present
at private exhibition of Edison's new
ly invented electric light, at Menlo
park, last night. He says the working
of the light and lamp in the residence
of Mr.. Edison, was completely success
full, and people will be both astonished
and gratified at the results of the pub
lie exhibition soon to be given.
The successful operation of the light
at Mr.. Edison's residence, makes it ap-
pear that matches will be things Of the
past in cities where the light has be-
come fairly established, while those
who manufacture piping, chandeliers
and globes now necessary in the use of
gas, must find some other industries,
and the owners of gas stock, from ap-
pearances, will be the poorest of peo-
pie.

A Principle Aeain Establi.hed.

New York, Dec. PA Washington
special says: 1.-THE secretary Of the
interior to-day rendered the decision
that wherever, prior to patenting, it is
discovered that land previously offered
and entered as agricultural land when
1t is really mineral in its character, the
entry must be cancelled and the land
reserved for entry under the laws
specially applicable to mining lands.
The issue was presented by the case Of
Smith q Scoggin vs.. Culver ct al, in
volving the title to tract of 1900
acres Of land in Camden (Arkansas)
district, which was purchased from the
government at private entry, in April
'7S, but subsequently found to contain
argentieerous lead ores.

New York, Dec. PA. P. Robinson,
formerly of Sacramento, writes to the
Herald that after many interesting ex-
periments upon the sands and other
debris left in the sluices of bydrualic
mines, and hitherto wasted. containing
gold, but which by reason of being
impact with base material cannot be
amalgamated, Prof. Edison has deter
mined upon simple and economical
process by which such debris may be
treated, and yield the gold hitherto
lost. What his process is has not yet
been made public, and is matter of
his own.

mometer stands at $50 below; at Green
Forks, 500 below; and at Breckenridge,

possessions. In the eastern and south
part Of the state the weather is milder.
In st. Paul the thermometer did not

usual amount of snow delayed the
trains on all the roads. some trains on

Chicago. Dec. 24.-The Trib,ne's
Washington special says: "In con-
versation to day, .ex-Congressman
Hale, of Maine, in discussing the
Maine situation. was asked: ''Will
the new developments interfere with
Mr.. Blaine's candidacy for the presi-
dency?"
"Why, should it? On the contrary.
it will only mako him the stronger,
and demonstrating the necessity of plac-
ing such man as he at the head of the
ticket. 1 believe he will receive the
solid vote Of every state, with possibly
one or two exceptions, west of Ohio, in
the national convention"
How about the Middle and New
England states?"
:" think he is sure of the last named
states, and will have many friends in
the middle states."
"What appears to be the feeling as
regards Gen. Grants candidacy for
third term, in the west?"
The general is loved and honored
for his invaluable services to the coun-
try, and he can have tho nomination,
but I believeto-day that Senator Blaine
will make the stronger candidate of the
two. There are many who, while ad-
miring General Grant, would not vote
for him for third term. Mr.. Blaine's
record is clear, and if nominated, he
will command the full strength of the
party.
