DISTURBED DEMOCRATS.
Distress Over the Virginia Situa
ton.
The Richmond Press Predicts Republi.
can Victory.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Post in COM
menting upon the Readjusters convention.
describes it as insensate folly for the Demo-
cracy, and plainly says that unless there is an
adjustment of the difficulty there will be
great danger that the electoral vote will 90 to
Garfield. The Post demands that the two
Democratic ele ctoral tickets shall be with
drawn and new one substituted upon which
both factions will unite, or this, that the
National Democratic committe shall inter-
fere. The Post says: eve do not consider
the possibility of one or the other of the Han
cock tickets winning in the triangular cleo
toral contest, although it is quite probable that
such would be the case.''
The Virginia Democratic papers manifest
great concern at the effect of the action of the
Readjusters' convention. The Richmond Dis
patch plainly intimates that unless there is a
compromise between the two factions of the
Democratic party the Garfield electors will be
chosen. The Richmond Commonwealth says:
1.-THE only possible effect of putting third
ticket in the field will be to take off such
number of the Democratic voters from the
regular Democratic ticket as to make the Re-
publican electoral ticket receive a plurality

SUSPICIOUS DESERTION OF THE
OWNER BY THE CREW

ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 9-The British ship
Titania, from ST. Johns, Newfoundland, during
fog Tuesday night struck an iceberg and
sunk in three hours. The crew all got out of
the ship and all available provisions and stores
were secured. Mr.. Rees, the owner, was on
board and had considerable money. He got
into small boat and placed, it is said, away
aft in her, this money and all the personal
property that the time awaited him to save.
Having forgotten something of Importance he
again boarded the sinking ship and was de-
serted by the crews of the two boats and left
to sink with the ship. No coherent story of
desertion is offered by the captain or crew.
The sea was almost tranquil. A brisk breeze
had recently sprung up and the distance from
st. Johns was barely forty miles, The next
morning at 6 o'clock the fishing schooner P.
L. Wilton, from St. Johns to Grand banks,
fell in with boats crew all well and took
them on board and brought them in safety to
ST. Johns last night. No trace of the money

cigarettes.
