Fire at Sea-The Loss of the Grappler-
 Chinese Passengers Who Behaved Lik e
 MaGmen.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-The steamer Crap pier, plying between Puget sound and Alaska while proceeding north with one hundred passengers and full cargo, took fire Sunday night four miles of Seymour Narrows, near Butte inlet, and was burned and sunk. New of her fate was brought to Nanaimo, B. O., by John McAllister. The fire was discovered by the engineer, who immediately reported the fact to the captain The one hundred passengers, principally Chinamen, were all in bed An immediate search was begun by the captain, who discovered the fire back of the boiler connections. The engineer started the donkey engine and connected the hose. At this time the passengers had been warned and the excitement was intense. The China men behaved like maniacs. They were utter ly uncomfortable, and seriously impeded the actions of officers The captain ordered all shot who refused to obey orders. Notwith- standing this the Chinamen rushed backward and forward on the vessel until it was found necessary to knock down some and carry below others ironed All this time the fire was gaining, and the efforts to control it were unavailIng The captain ordered Pilot Franklin to head the steamer for the Van couver shore and beach her. As soon as the vessel struck the sand the boats were lowered The excitement was now so great that num- bers of Chinamen jumped into the boats and swamped them. Owing to the intense smoke those who could swim did not know in which direction to strike out, and sur rounded by mass of struggling Chinamen, were drowned. It is supposed that at least sixty persons, including Capt. J. Jaggers lost their lives Only twenty persons are so far known to have been saved It is fearad that several Canadians who came to Victoria by the last steamer to work in the coast can neries perished Steamers have been sent from there to the scene. The Grappler was formerly an imperial gunboat but was sold to the merchant service

 CHICAGO, May "A posse of eight United States deputy marshals to-day made sortie upon cabin occupied by Matthias Schaefer, aged sixty four, and his daughter Kate, which stands upon tract of earth the title to which after years of litigation has just been de- cided.

They were met at the door by the old man armed with a pigsticker and his daugher with kettle of boiling water: A brief barley was followed by brief skirmish, which resulted in the posse retroating in dis order with one wounded and several scalded. Endorsements are expected in the morning, when hostilities will be renewed

Private Postomces-An Attack Begu,

Private Postomces-An Attack Begun on the System-SeveraI of the Concerns Raided.
 NEW YORK, May As result of examin- ations by Colonel A. G. Sharp, chief inspec. tor of the Postoffice department, it was de- cided to break up the system of private post offices, and to-day Boyd and Hussey's off ces were raided. About the commencement of business for the day Colonel Sharp and Mir. Camp with five deputy United States marshals citizens dress went to Boyd's and Inspectors Newcombe and Spiese with other deputy United States marshals went to Hussey's office. The carriers were just com ing out and they were seized and their pouches taken from them. Some of the car riers in their fright threw down their bags of letters and papers and pitching off their off cial caps took to flight. The inspectors then raided both offices A truck was procured and loaded with from 5000 to 5000 letters and packages which were found in one of the off ces. A great quantity of newspaper circulars and other printed material found at Hussey's was not destroyed. At Boyds from l., 900 to Is, GOO letters were seized. The material was taken to the postofice where it was as- sorted by several clerks No arrests have yet been made though it is probable indictments will be found against the per sons carrying on this illegal business by the grand jury. The penalty for sending letter by private express is a fine of $2o, and the parties carrying on the express are liable to fine of $15O for every offense
 These two offices, it is said, delivered up- wards of 40. .OOO letters daily on their penny postage plan, defrauding the postofice of several hundred dollars daily. It is said that hundreds of office and messenger boys when sent to the postofice to mail letters and given money to pay the regular postage (two cents) go to those offices where they only pay one penny, putting the difference in postage in their pockets. One office employed forty five carriers and the other thirty Several offices of a like char acter in the city for the delivery of circulars, etc., will next receive the attention of the postoffice authorities.
 WASHINGTON, May 4.-Chief Inspector Parker of the Postofice department, speaking of the raid in New York this morning on several special messenger agencies, says that it is estimated that the government has lost $1O, 900 day for some time by these firms carrying local letters at less than the rate charged by the Postofice department. Simi- lar concerns in other cities will be closed.

 BERLIN, May 4-The immediate cause of the illness of Count Von Moltke is overwork. His condition Is regarded as very serious il not critical. The government has been anxious to grant his request to be retired from the responsibilities of chief in com mand, but the great importance attached to the CT cation of the eastern frontier line o1 fortifcation seemed to demand his judgment and exnerience. His work, however, has been heavy for man of his years and cam, paiens. He has been seventy one years in the service. He will probably, should he recover, be released at once.

Irish Co1outzattontaR Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 4.-The problem of Irish colonization in Russia has been brought out sharply by the Panslavist leaders whose hatred of England is intense and gives rise to the suggestion. The proposition is made and discussed in all seriousness by the Slav- ophil newspapers that the liberal party shall by money and otherwise encourage Irish im- migration to the fertile and unused lands of Turkestan, the Caucasus and sections of Lii beria. The agitation of the question grows not out of love for the Irish nor from any considerable knowledge or appreciation of the difficulties in Ireland. but from an idea that such 8 movement could be made hurtful to England in two ways. It would take from Ireland a better class of farmers, men comparatively well-to- do and not driven from the country by pow erty or agitation and leave the Irish agricul- tural districts uncultivated and unproduc- tive to English and nonresident landlords. In the second place it might help to divert English attention from Central Asia and western Europe where she is Russais most aggressive enemy and at the same time place Irish colonies on the borders of the eastern territories where they would become con- stant stumbling blocks in the war of English advances. They also urge that amongst the peasant farmer classes it would lead to tn introduction of improved methods of farm ing and 8 degree of social cultivation and political information which could not fail to be constant source of gain to Russia and of advancement to her people
