towing the barge Orient from New Orleans with
coal was rounding the bar this morning the haw-
ser parted The barge then anchored and the tug
came in for new cable A heavy sea was on and
the anchor chain parting the barge was driven
aground five miles from the island, and when the
Ranger returned she was unable to reach the
barge or to rescue her crew of five men. A life
boat was Immediately manned by five expert sea-
men and started for the Orient, but when they
reached the barge the sea was fast wrecking her.
The life boat drew close to the barge when one of
the imperled seamen jumped into the boat and
capsized it and all the seamen who went out in
the life boat came ashore near Beach-hot floating
on their life preservers The man who jumped
into the life boat is undoubtedly lost as are his
four companions on the barge as quantities of drift
floating ashore indicate that the Orient has gone

LONDON, Sept. lS.-Mr. Gladstone today issued
q afour-column manifesto to his constituents in
son between the work of the recent Parliament
and that of the Parliament which preceded it, and
confidently appeals to the electors for verdict.
dc refers to the treaty of Berlin, to the good ef
tects among the natives Of the Marquis of Ripons
conciiatory policy in India, and to the settlement
Of which he claims for the Liberal party Mr..
Gladstone admits that the Liberal government
committed an error respecting the occupation of
Egypt but says that it was due to the Marquis of
Salisbury's Intervention policy. He now fayors
the entire withdrawal of the British troops from
Egypt and believes that the people approve OF
the Liberal governments refusal to Stihe the
Transvaal cry for freedom. England, he says,
once free of the Egyptian tangle, will regain her
guard the young eastern nations. He fayors re-
form of both the House of Lords and the House of
commons, free land and the abolition of primo
genlture. He believes that the church is Sufil-
clently strong to survive disestablishment, and
states that he is anxious to give Ireland the FULL
est justice, while at the time preserving the
unity Of the empire.
Mi. Gladstones manifesto is somewhat dlSap-
pointing to the Liberals, while the Conservatives
claim to be greatly pleased at the expressions OF
the ex-Premier.
The Daily News interprets the. manifesto to
mean me- that Gladstone intends to lead ms party IN
the House of Commons, and not retire after the
elections. 1t will be impossible, says the News,
tor Parnell to say with reference to Ireland that
the manifesto is not message of peace.

TOO MUCH GOLD LACE.

By reference to the list Of staff
officers appointed by Brigadier Gen
eral Webster. published in today $
issue, it will be seen that the name
of Joseph E. Eckley, foreman Of
the Enterprise is mentioned as
Brigade Inspector, with the rank of
Major. The Chronicle extends its
congratulations to Major Eckley,
who will doubtless make very eff
fcient officer. There are now three
Majors employed in the mechanical
department of the Enterprise Ma
jor ellis, Eckley and Sutherland -
and fears are entertained that a
serious difficulty will arise as to who
is entitled to seniority. If age
takes precedence then the vener-
able Steve ellis outranks both
Eckley and Sutherland, but in the
office Eckley will assign Steve to
the ranks as punishment for his
brief enjoyment of authority in the
field.
The Enterprise Office now fairly
bristles with employees bearing mill
tary titles - three majors down
stairs and colonel up in the loft.
On parade days, or the occasion Of
reviews, the compositorial and edi-
torial force will look as though they
had been caught out in a shower of
brass candlesticks when they
emerge from the building glittering
in the full uniform of the staff
Chronicle.
1t is said that the only man of
the outfit who is really proud OF
his title, is Mr.. Sutherland. He
just dotes on titles and parades,
and is standing candidate for any
thing on earth that has a title.
