WILMINGTON. DEL. MONDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1881.
The Coalition in Virginfa-A Re-
publican Protest.


The New York Ecsning Mail, a
staunch Republican paper, is indignant
over the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
coalition in Virginia. The Mail says ::
"There may be mysterious and states
manlike reasons for sinking Virginia
republicanism in the bottomless depths
of reputation, but the explanations
do not explain this surrender to the
average Northern republican. The
gist of the reasons advanced is that If
the republicans become repudiators
the repudiators will ultimately become
republicans, and will see to it that the
amalgamated republicans have free
speech. We presume that the repub"
licans in this city might capture the
powerful gin mill interests on as easy
and honorable condition. A union on
the basis of cheap licenses and unlim-
tied Sunday traffic would be sufficient.
The trouble with the Virginia bargain
is that the sacrifices are all on the side
of the republicans. Mr.. Malone makes
no effort to display even incipient and
potential republicanism. He even
jauntily offends the moral sense of
northern republicans by the marked
respect which, in his note to Jubal
Early, he accords to him simply be-
cause of the high rank he held in the
rebel army, and with which he treats
the barbarous practice of dueling.
And his stump-Orators everywhere
disavow the slightest taint of republl.
canism and claim to be better demo-
Gratis than the 'funders.' Amalgama"
tion on such degrading terms must be
a rather demoralizing process tor the
party that gives everything and gets
nothing but humiliation"

SEEKING sUNKEN TREASURE.
Searching for the GOld.Laden De =
Braak, lost one Hundred Years


Searching for the GOId.Laden De +.
Braak, lost one Hundred Years
Ago.
From the Phiia Sunday Times.
It is believed that the schooner Mary
ID. Leech, cbaractered by the Interna-
tiOnal Submarine Company which in
cludes, among its members Stephen
Tasker, of the firm of Morris, Tasker &
Co., and Charles +. Pike, who is also
Philadelphian, has far different pur-
pose from the enc ostensibly pursued.
There is curious chain of circumstance
to strengthen the belief that instead of
searching for cargo Of pig-iron the
schooner which is now cruising about
and a splendidly-equipped wrecking
apparatus aboard, is really seeking for
the suDken treasure ships which are
known TO be in the bay. There are
authentic records OF the loss Of two such
vessels, one of them British man Of
war, named the Braak, which capsized
near the close of the Revolutionary War,
with cargo OF gold aud silver said to
amount to $25 100000, and the other
the Gloire, French frigate, which ran
aground about the year 1850 and from
which gold to the amount of 1,2OO,OOO
livres was reported TO have been thrown
overheard TO save it from the English
fleet, which had chased the vessel past
the Capes
The belief concerning the objecs of the
present search gains strength from the
fact that some OF the parties engaged in
it were members of the company which,
about four years ago, sought, under the
guidance of Colonel d. d. Chapip, to
| find the wreck of the Braak.
1t appears that in the year 1877 q
number of Philadelphia gentlemen who
were interested in submarine machin-
cry agreed, upon information furnished
| by Samuel McCracken of L3wes Della
ware, to make search for the wreck of
the British man of.war Braak, Of which
the grandfather of Mr.. McCracken ihad
been the pilot. He was almost the only
survivor and left chart showing the
position of the wreck, and it was upon
this chart, which had descended to the
present Mr.. McCracken, that the COM
pany relied.
Search had been before made for the
treasure, notably about the year 1905,
| when the Brlllsn government hau senS
over feet which after vain summers
work returned.
Forty years ago the British govern
ment posted notices in Lewes Offering
$60,0O0 reward for information which
might lead to the discovery OF the Braak
No trace OF her whereabouts was found
however, until about fifteen years since
when an anchor sweeper named Wallac'
raised a cannon which, from its form ant
age, had evidently belonged to her.
Mr.. McCracken's Philadelphia party
who undertook to find the treasures fou
years ago, worked for several week
without finding any trace of the wreck
They then secured Col. Chapin's service
but his indications also failed. Thus ia
the prese mt search has not been reward
ed with any indications of success.

ONOON, SOb' eos Aoo4s
Mr.. A. M. Sullivan continued his
interview with your correspondent
yesterday. Referring to his relations
with Mr. Parnell he said:--sI have
always seriously Differed from him
on " hat l hold to be impolicy of not
taking the English people In q more
friendly and considerate away aud
not discriminating between the
ruling classes of England and the
mass of the English people.
CORRESPONDENT you think
that the American branches have
hampered the action of the homo
Leaguep
Mr.. SULLIvAN-I haye always
considered it serious embarrass-
ment and danger to Mr.. Parnell and
his Executive in Dublin that a sec.
Ion of the American branches lwere
always trying to force his hand in a
particular direction. The men who
supplied the funds in 30 large de-
gre ,eas our enthusiastic eountrYmen
over the water do, may very fairly
claim right to have their counse!s
weighed by the people at home.
What objected to always was that
in some Of their kilograms to the
Convention they insisted on forcing
the Convention in a particular line,
even lntlmating that they would
cease subscribing unless their views
dominated the resolutions of that
body.
CoRREsPoNDENT-What effect do
you think the latest developments
will haye on the home rule question:
Mr.. SULLIvAN-First, there will
probably come q periods of dread
full conflict between the Irish people
and the government. l apprehend
that the coming winter will be very
desperate one and that we have a
year or two of very serious times
ahead. But when this storm shall
haye blown over the struggle will
not only have convinced the Ems
glish people that radical change
must be made in the mode of govern
ing the Irish people, but will bring
them to concede some sort of home
rule for Ireland.
