New YoRk, December ia St. Johns's
N, B., special says tha. during the terrific
gale Of the week ending December 4, the
ship Momentum, one thousand tons bur.
den, on q voyage from Miranichi, bound
for Marseilles, was lost near the highlands
'of St. Georges Bay and became total
wreck. Her whole crew, numbering sew
enteen, withthe.exception ottwo, perished
from cold, hunger aud exposure.
The limbs Of the two survivors, Mate
George Kadger and Seaman Patrick Doc
ley, were badly irostbitton, and probably
will have to be amputated. The survivors
were in life boat with nine others. in.
cluding the captain, and were driven
ashore by the wind and sea. All except
Ksdger and Dooley pertshed. After great
highlands rescued Kadger and Dooley. It
was noticed by the search party that be-
fore burying the companions OF Kadger
and Dooley the arm OF ono man was COM
pIetely eaten to the bone by his compan.
ions.
1t seems as II the poignant sgonies Of
starvation had melted the abhorent appe.
tite OF cannibalism. Tho Captain was
alive when found, but died several hours
afterwards. Itsppears that the other six
OF the crew OF the Momentum were in an
other boat and perished without reaching
land. The coast between ST. Georges Bay
and Cape Ray Is strewn with wreckage
and from accounts not yet authenticated It
Is only too probable that other tales OF
wrecked life and property will soon be
made known.

The messengers who brought the Elec'

been disappointed as to the amount Of

been twenty. five cents each way. In the

twenty-five cents for one way only. The

The vote Of Georgia has not yet appeared

titled to about ninety dollars mileage, but

TENNESSEE SENATORIAL ELEcrloN.
The fact that the control Of the legisla-

depends upon the Senatorial election
about to be held in Tennessee makes 1t Q
center Of interest from Q Washington
stand point. Republicans lack but 4 votes
OF clear majority over oil, and the ques-
tion which agitates politicians here is
whether four votes can not be picked up
from among the debt-paying Democrats
or the so.cslled Repudiators, the parties
being divided there rs much as in Virginia.
A great deal Is being said about the pros
pectiye use OF Federal patronage TO indu'

likely anything OF that kind will be at

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

1t is limited suffrage. 1t is nothing more nor less
than that we shall allow, by legislative act, the
privilege to women to vote on certain propositions.
Now, take it that the Constitution is clear enough
for me upon this point and am going to vote for
this bill. l have not been converted by
the legal arguments or eloquent oratory given us
on the beauty and refinement of the citizen woman
quality in her makeup a reason for what has been
asked for her in this BILL the privilege of voting
upon school questions. 1t is matter that has fol-
lowed me all my life. 1t commenced with me nearly
thirty three years ago, camped this Cap to,
and fed by the bounty of that noble man whom
that portrait your Speakers chair represents,
after having been, with my wife, nearly famished
by crossing the plains. MY wife still lives | al
ways thought she the better man of the two,
in goodness; that her judgment in matters of bust
ness was superior in some respects to my own.
The Legislature four years ago did what, under
the old Constitution it was allowed to do-gave to
the male class the privilege of electing women to
school offices of this State. Has she filled those
offices? Yes, sir, she has; and has proved her
self capable in one instance vouchfo for Facts are
better than theories. The educational interests of
the country are now in the hands of females to a
great extent and if they had more power in the Of
fees, and in the control and management of the
school business of this State believe there would
be fewer rings than there have been to bring dis
grace upon the State TO some extent. In little
city by the sea we have woman who has held the
office of School Trustee for two years She pays
taxes upon $4,000 or $4,000 worth of property.
We put her in the position of School Trustee and
she is of three that have control of hundreds of

On Monday, the lst instant, Michael
Relling, a farmer living near Muddy,
Baker county, went with his son to the
timber, about four miles from his house,
where he had cabin and had been split
ting rails. The boy returned home with a
load the same day, but the father remain
ed, and upon the boys return to the tim
Der on Tuesday he could not find his
father. The next day came, and his
father not having returned the boy started
to find him. Upon reaching the place
where the rails were, he discovered his
father on the ground upon his knees, with
his head bent forward until it reached the
snow in front of him. The boy called for
assistance, when man named Lem. Will
Jams came to lis aid. They lifted the
man from off the ground, and discovered
that his face was covered with blood, but
could find no marks on him to denote that
he had met with an accident. When they
raised him he opened his eyes and smiled.
| Williams asked him if he knew him and he
answered in the affirmative. They then
asked him what he was doing. He replied :
Taking little sleep" These were the
last words he spoke. He was taken home,
where he expired on Tuesday about
noon. Physicians decided that death re-
suited from exposure, and it was evident
that this fatal action was voluntary and an
insane freak Baker City Democrat

By the steamship Belgic, which arrived
at San Francisco yesterday morning, we
have later dates from China and Japan.
CHINA.
Mr. Bailey, United States Consul Gen.
eral at Shanghai, reports that the cotton
crop in that district will not be more than
half the average yield. This will probably
make an unusual demand in China and
Japan for cotton goods.
Returns from Pekin state that there are
solid reasons for believing that the Chung
How treaty with Russia for the rendition
of Iii will be rejected at the demand OF
Tso Tsung Tang. China is now strong
and seemingly secure on her northwest
limits, and the nation has become conf
dent and bellicose.
A letter from Hankow gives the annual
report of the trade in that district. A
notable feature is the increase in the i'm
portation of American sheetings, which
amounted to 43, 90l pieces in 1879, against
Is, 9l5 pieces in 1878, or more than 1872 per
cent. increase Other cotton fabrics have
increased, but not in so large ratio.
Mount Shiramine, in the province of
Sanuki, has given evidence recently of an
eruption. The mountain has been violently
agitated for the past few weeks and the in
habitants are making preparations to leave
at moments notice.
The launch of the Kaimon, newly-con-
structed corvette, will take place early in
April next at the Yokosha dockyard.
Five of six wealthy merchants of the
town of Mayebashi have offered sub
scription of 100, 200 yen towards the con-
struction of road between that town and
Toxic.
The prevalence of smallpox is reported
from the interior country.
The Ctoya Shinbun reports the occur
renee of severe shock of earthquake in
Ishikawaken March 5th, which did con-
siderable damage to buildings, but no lives
were lost. The earth was cracked in sew
eral places.
A telegram was received from Niigata
stating the sad intelligence that the boiler
of steamer plying between that port and
Nagaoka exploded during her last trip,
killing eighteen persons on the spot and
wounding twenty more.
Rumors continue to arrive of the reap
pearance of cholera in various districts IL
