VIRGINS ON THE STORM.
He Claims That His Prediction Was
Literally Fulfilled.

OTTAWA, Mar. IL.
Virgins today claims that his prophecy
was literally fulfilled. There was the high
est tidal wave ever known at Halifax and
kilograms from all parts indicate a severe
tempest. He has always entertained the
greatest anxiety for safety on the shores of
the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Mexico.
In the former the major tidal wave OF which
the minor on our coast was the reflection,
must have occurred on the afternoon of the
10th, London time, hundreds of thousands of
lives perishpg. He cbaracterizes this storm
as the greatest that can possibly occur on
this planet, and the greatness of its extent is
the only hope of safety in any particular
quarter. He makes slight of the Canadian
and L. S. authorities for not hosting their
storm signals until after the storm was act
ually beating upon their continent Some
people, he adds. expected an impossible
storm yesterday, but he repeatedly said his
object in making the prediction was for the
safety of mariners, as no danger could oc-
cur on land except in the vicinity of places
named as being exposed to tidal waves, but
people like to be frightened and cling to their
own Interpretation in preference to mine.

THE STAR ROUTE.
Delegate Martin McGinnis on the Stand.

WASHINGTON, Mar ~.
The defence opened the days proceedings
in the star route trial by calling Delegate
Martin McGinniss to the witness stand. He
had favored the establishment of the Bis
marck Tongue River route, because it was
the natural easterly outlet for the mails of
his territory.
He thought Gen. Miles accompanied him
on two or three occasions. Before the es.
Enlistment of the Tongue River route, the
Saulsburys controlled the only inlet into the
country, and it was with additional OBJ
ject of breaking up the monopoly that the
witness sought to have the service establish
ed. The contractor and the amount of pay
we're unknown to him-that knowledge was
not within his province.
At the conclusion of his testimony, the in
PRODUCTION of official papers was resumed.
The court showed much annoyance at at
tempts on the part of the defence to argue
upon the admissibility of certain class of
papers after the court had ruled them out,
and peremptorily ordered Mr.. Henkle to be
seated. That gentleman promptly noted an
exception to the language of the court, to
which Judge Wylie rejoined sharply, 1.-THE
court will use any language that will be eff
fective for its purpose, and will not stop at
language either
Wilson offered in evidence, paper in con-
nection with the Kearney Kent route, show
ing, he asserted, that Brady had refused the
request for the expedition, although if the
governments theory was correct he might
have pocketed some money without risk by
granting the request.
Merrick objected. because it was an oiIer
to show that the man had not committed one
fraud, by showing that he did not commit an
other subsequent fraud.
The court said il could not assume at this
stage that the government had proved the
fraud, for that what they were trying.
The motives of Second Assistant Postmaster
General were worthy of serious considera-
ton; the act offered to be proved tended to
throw light upon those motives, and the pa
per should be admitted.
Walsh's testimony had been introduced
to show Brady's habits, and this evidence
would be received for the same purpose.
The reading of papers was contained up
to adjournment.

Incidents of the Towase.

HALIFAX. Mar. II.
The steamer Missouri of the Warren line
With the disabled Inman steamer City of
Chester came &c anchor al P. NJ. today of
the wharves. Capt Warsins Of the City of
Chester reports: Sailed from New York.
March 3. Had fair weather and all went
well until Los on the following Monday af-
ternoon, the steamer then being GEO miles
from Sandy Hook, when suddenly the en-
gines raced away and on examination the
screw shaft was found to be broken. Sail
was at once put on and the ship proceeded
keeping in the track of the steamers so that
if we should be spoken assistance could be
obtained. AT 2 so Tuesday morning the
steamer Suevia was sighted. The latter laid
by the disabled ship until morning and took
her in tow. About $50 on the morning
of the 9TH one of the ropes connecting the
ships suddenly parted. The captain of the
Suevia then signalied that he must proceed
for New York alone. 1t was blowing heavily
and Capt. Watkins requested him to lay by
the City of Chester until the weather moder-
Grated, AS he wished to be towed back in the
track of the steamers, but the Suevia replied
she was in want of coal and steamed on her
way without rendering any assistance. Sail
was put on again and the CITY of Chester
continued towards Halifax. At A. NJ, on
the tenth, the steamer Missouri, bound ont
ward, was signalled and tow ropes were
adjusted and the two steamers headed for Hal
flax. Between ii and II o'clock. Saturday
night, the hawser parted, but the ships were
again connected and good progress made
towards this port.
On SUNDAY the wind blew heavily, but no
further accident occurred until 10 o'clock
this forenoon, when, as the ships were max
ing Sambro, the line parted 8 second time,
causing delay OF several hours. The City
of Chester was again got in tow, and was
brought into port without further mishap.
One of the passengers on the City of Ches-
ter this evening stated that considerable
anxiety was exhibited by the passengers after
the ship was left by the Suevia, as she was
in a much worse condition than when first
picked up.
Sable Island. with its many dangerous
shoals running out for miles in every direc-
ton, lay some eight miles to the leeward of
the steamer. and the breeze was blowing in
this direction. The steamer was drifting at
the rate of two and one-half miies an hour.
For fourteen hours this continued when the
wind changed to the west, and the fears of
the passengers subsidized. The mails and
passengers of the City of Chester will proba-
bly, be forwarded by the Allan Line steamer
leaving here Saturday.
