Dreadful Experience or ma American
Mhnler While Caught 20 an ice-flOc.

A st. Johns (N. F. special says ;
The American whaling-schooner Abbe

just arrived here for repairs, passed

for Hudson's bay, v hich she entered
near Marble Island without more than
the usual difficulty. Captain G. b.
Borden, commanding the schooner,
prosecuted his cruise there for whales
with poor success until August 10Th.
when he decided to leave Huds0n's bay
and direct his attention to the capture
Of sperm whales in the Atlantic.
Captain Borden states that on An.
gust 10Th, when near the middle at
Hudson Straits, steering south-south
east by compass in thick fog. ice wa.

tempt was at once made to put the yes
sci about, but before this could be done
she struck the ice. and in few secoals
it was all around her, humping against
her heavily, causing her to careen first
one way and then the other. It was
expected every minute that the scho0a
or would be crushed to pieces. A.
soon as possible, however, all sail was
set and the schooner headed fer the
nearest open water. As the only hope
for those on board was to get ont of the
ice. While making her way under a
heavy pressure Of sail and ice the
schooner had several Of her sails, a
well a the rudder. carried away. and
pieces Of her false keel were seen doat-

Irish and German Fraiernization-TheK Keller
REGULATIONS Adopted.
LBy telegraph TO the DIspateh.l

lBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
New YORK, September l0.-The
Irish Catholic National Benevolent
Union met again to-day III Brooklyn.
The first business was amendments to
the constitution, the principal Of which
was the insertion Of the words 'or
State" in section Of article 9. The
change is for the purpose Of permitting
any member Of an organization OF the
Union to join any other organization IN
the State, providing the organization to
which he was attached should dissolve.
While this was under discussion a
delegation entered from the German
Catholic Central Society. Their officers
were introduced and heartily welcomed.
Mr.. Withers, chairman Of the Irish or
ganization, in welcoming the de'ega-
ton. referred to both societies having
the same object in view and doing the
same kind Of work. Many Germans,
he said, were in the Irish organization.
Mr.. Spcunkerst. Of the German soci-
ETY.. returned thanks for the welcome,
and said that if there were any places
where an Irish organization did not
exist their members would be taken
care Of by German organization. lie
said that they asked no particular priv
leges except that interest which all
Catholics took in the education Of their
youth. The education Of youth as
conducted by our corporations, without
any effort to instruct them in the know
ledge Of their God, was not wise.
The Kelley resolutions were then
taken up and adopted. The thanks Of
the Convention were EXTENDED to the
Committee on Resolutions for the tell
ing. terse. and complete terms in which
they had facilitated the organization IN
placing on record the condemnation OF
the Catholics Of the United States at
the attempt Of decoying foreign Pow
ers to interfere with the established and
honorable principles Of American lib
erty.
The amendments to the constitution
were also adopted.
At the afternoon session Lancaster,
Pa, was chosen as the next place OF
meeting.
Officers were elected as follows :
President, Hon. A. NJ. Kelley, Of Viz
ginia: First Vice President, Maurice j..
Wilhire, Of Pennsylvania; Second
Vice-President, d. j. Murphy. Of To-
ronto; Secretary, Martin |. j. Griffin,
Of Philadelphia; Treasurer, Rev. James
Henry, Of St. Louis.
When Mr.. Kelley learned Of his re-
election he visited the Convention and
protested that as he had been honored
with the presidency twelve years some
other person should be selected but
those present drowned his voice with
cries Of " No. No " and no other per-
son was selected.

WASHINGTON, September l0.-The
September cotton report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture shows the prcya-
lence Of hot and dry weather during
August except in Louisiana, Missis-
sippi. and Florida. The shedding Of
bolls and decrease of vitality have re-
suited quite generally. The drought
has been serious in Texas and Arkan-
sas and quite general in Western Ten
nessee, Southern Alabama, Georgia.
and the Carolinas. The caterpillar has
caused much damage in Southern Texas.
Arkansas, and in Central and Southern
Alabama. Its prevalence is noted
throughout Central and Southern Geor-
cia, with small effect as yet. The boil
worm is causing much damage in the
black belt of Alabama and in Arkan-
sas and Texas. The condition has de-
clined in every State. The average is
81 against 9Gl in August. Last year
it was - in September and 81 in Au-
gust. The present average IS two
points above a September average Of
ten years.
The figures for several States are as
follows Virginia, SO North Carolina.

Of winter wheat are almost identical
in results with those Of July. There
Is slight advance in Michigan,
Texas. and Maryland, and some other
States, and a point or two of decrease
in several. The general average is IS

the result of threshing may change the
present expectation, the erwheat
area may be placed at 2l7,00o.00o
