The Leerdam steered excellently, with 8
speed of five to six miles an hour. Ship and

ing on the lake off Racine, Alex. Jones'

The Alton,s Ecplanatio,..

CHICAGO, March Sin reply to the notice
from the chairman of the St. Louis local pas
senger committee, complaining that the Chi
cage & Alton was charging the same passen-
ger rate from st. Louis to New York, via
Chicago, that the eastern roads out of st.
Louis were quoting, and demanding that the
Alton should increase its rate 80, General
Passenger Agent Charlton, of the latter road,
has prepared an answer, in which
he denies the Jurisdiction OF
the st. Louis passenger agents. He
says, we are not aware of any just ground
on which any one of our competitors, or any
combination of any number of them, are
entitled to ask higher rates than they charge.
The reply also declares willingness on the
part of the Alton, to limit these tickets in any
way necessary to avoid misuse. The com
plant made against the Alton grew out Of
an arrangement it has with the West Shore
road, for booking through passengers.

The Condition of s. s. Merrill.

The condition of Mr.. Merrill, manager of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road who
has been confined to his house for the past
three weeks, is causing good deal of inter
est among those employed on the road, as
well as among the stockholders and patrons
of the road. There is no doubt that his i'll
ness is somewhat serious, and many believe
that the worst has not been told the public.
He will leave tomorrow on trip to milder
climate. He will be accompanied by his
wife, his daughter Miss Marian, his youngest
son, his physician, and one or two others.
He will take his special car and follow the
Texas Pacific and the Southern Pacific to Los
Angeles, where he will abide awhile to recruit
his health.

He Isn't Insane.


NEW YORK, March S.-A report was circu-
lated this afternoon that Mr.. Lewis Leland,
one of the proprietors of the Sturtevant, had
been confined in an insane asylum, The re-
port further read that in a paroxism of
dementia he had recently attempted bis own
life. Mr.. Leland was seen at his hotel to-
night by the GLOBE correspondent. He denies
that he is insane fact that his converse
ton and appearance fully substantiated. He
also denies that he was ever insane, was ever
confined in an insane asylum or had ever at
tempted his life. Moreover Mr.. Leland de
clares he has no intention even in the most
remote future of ever becoming insane.
NEW YORK, March S.-The report of my
being in a lunatic asylum is false in every
particular. (Signed) LEWIS LELAND. $
Lewis Leland said tonight, the story of
his insanity was the result of malicious at
empt by known parties to injure him. The
statement that Leland failed in the manage
ment of the Coleman house is pronounced
equally untrue. Leland built up the hotel
and sold it at a profit

DISASTERS AT SEA,
A Bark Wrecked by Icebergs-Perils
Of Winter Navigation.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, March S.-The steamer Glou-
cester, which arrived at this port to-day after
a passage of twenty-eight days from Bristol,
reports exceptionally stormy weather all the
way over. On Feb. %, just off the banks of
Newfoundland, the vessel was completely
surrounded by field ice, in which were
an immense number of icebergs, and
some of them as much as a mile long and
near 100 feet high we're seen to the north
west. At o'clock p. m. the captain finding
himself in clear water, the vessel was hove
to and so remained till daylight. The steam-
er continued to the sonth until o'clock
when she cleared the field ice and laid her
coure for New York. At 2 o'clock
p. m. ON the 25th bark was seen
on the starboard bow with distress
signal flying. She proved to be the
Nova Scotia bark George Peabody,
bound from New York to Dunkirk
with oil in barrels. The captain and twelve
men boarded the steamer in small boat.
The captain of the bark said that on Satur-
day morning, the 2Srd, they ran into ice be-
fore daylight. They succeeded in clearing
it on the 25th, but both bows
had been crushed in, and the rudder was
badly damaged. The vessel was kept afoat
by throwing over the anchors and chains,
and 500 barrels of the oil forwards, so as
to bring the injured parts out of the water
Captain Peters is of the opinion
that the burning vessel seen
nv tho offSoerS IF the Sarv;a Tuesdav
the Goth was this bark. Having been left
without any control, she probably rolled
about in the trough of the sea till fire from
the galley or cabin stove set the deck ON fire.
The bark was seventeen years old and she
measured 500 tons. She was owned by
