What Steamer Was 1t?

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE German bark
Fidelo, Capt. Meier, from Wilmington,
N. c., for Wolgasta, which was found on
her beam ends in the channel and towed
into Dover, when near Dungeness, OH Nov.
29, sighted an unknown steamer mile
away. The weather was clear. Neither
vessel changed her course, and in short
time the steamer struck the bark on her
starboard quarter, cutting half way through
her hull. The steamer rebounded from the
force of the blow and then giving headway
again struck the bark. The steamer backed
away from the Fidelio and proceeded on
her course. paying no attention to the
shouts for assistance from those on board
OF the bark. The crew of the Fidelio were
unable to cut away their boats owing to the
sea sweeping her decks. and they became
exhausted. On Nov. 80 three of the crew

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE senate

joint code which the senate acted upon two
years ago, except in respect to rule 13,
which the committee has stricken out.
This rule prohibits the sale of Intoxicating
liquor in the capitol building. The senate
has rule of this kind in its own code, and
the committee thought it unnecessary to in-
corporate it on the joint rules, believing the

INDIAN EDUCATIONAL FUND.
How 1t Was Spent During Schurz's
Regime.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-One of the adj
vantages of a change of administration is
the opportunity it affords of letting
daylight into singular and ruinous
transactions. There has recently been an
investigation of the Indian educational
funds, and the results are interesting. In
1919 congress established such a fund by
providing for an annual appropriation of
$4,000 for the education of In
dians. This was repealed i'll 1867,
but the fund was at the same re-established
to consist of the proceeds of a quantity of
land ceded by the OsageS to the United
States. The fund had amOuntedin 1881 to
800. 900, of which all but S11, 600 had then
been spent. OF the whole, some $685. 900
had been spent in three and half years.
between 1877 and 1881, While Carl Schurz
was secretary, and Mr.. Hoyt commissioner
of Indian affairs. In one Of his reports
Secretary Teller, acting on erroneous i'll
formation supplied by the Indian office,
said that of the S552, 900, S45. 1000 was
SPENT DIRECTLY
for educational purposes and the rest for
articles of utility designed to promote the
civilization of the Indians. The fact is just
the reverse. About $4,000 was
spent directly for educational purposes and
$3.50, 900 was spent for so-called artices Of
utility These articles were enough, but
they were bought at fancy prices, in need
lessly large quantities and bought with
money that was set apart Tor
the education of the Indians.
Scores OF wagons for which there
was no use were sent to Indian reserya-
tions Some hundreds of plows were sent
to one of the Northern agencieies, and
and they are there yet. The metal is eaten
with rust, and the handles have rotted
out. No one Of them ever turned a
furrow. In one month of 1878 $4,000 of
the education fund was spent in buying to-
bacco for Indians. In 1873 So, 600
was spent for revolving and
immoral purpose, and the money came out
of the educational fund. OF course
there was great deal more money to be
put in contracts by spending the educational
fund for general supplies than there would
have been had money been spent for the
purpose for which it was set apart.

NEARING THE END.
Rapid Spread of the Disease Which is
Carrying Off Gen Grant.

New YORK, March l2-Gen. Grant went
to bed early on Wednesday night, after taking
a hearty meal, but he did not TALL asleep until
nearly midnight. Then, after sleeping a short
time, he awoke and remained awake until
nearly daylight. He suffered considerably
from pain in his right ear. lie took ftful maps
during the forenoon and got up about noon.
He did not feel as we'll as he did on the day
before. and the weal ness and depression were
returning again rapidly. He ate little, and
seemed to have a sort of dislike for food. He
grew somewhat brighter toward evening, but
was still troubled by the pain in his ear. The
u.cerntions in his throat had also taken on a
more angry appearance, and cocaine was used
again TO allay the pain. The iniiltration Is ex-
tending to the deep-seated tissues, and the
disease is spreading with more rapidity than it
has shown Tor some time. The generals pulse
and temperature were nearly normal. In the
evening he ate quite heartily Of food, but did
not have any appetite 1t was thought at one
time that there was an indication of returning
symptoms of nausea, but they were not fully
developed, and the stomach, though evidently
weak, retained all the food that was eaten
The general showed an inclination TO do some
work on his book, but after writing a short
time he put aside his materials and spent his
time listening to the conversation Of his family,
and occasionally joined in with few words
himself He tried to be cheerful, but it was
evidently done by an effort of will, and did not
express his feelings, which, on account Of the
severe pain, were not pie lsant.

ALMOST A CERTAINTY.
Solemn Statement by Premier Gladstone in
the House Of Commons.

LONDON, March l2.-The gravity and solem-
nifty with which Mr.. Gladstone replied in the
House Of Commons this evening to a question
regarding the Anglo-Russian complication
have greatly increased the excitement in Lon
don, and have almost made certainty of the
belief that war is inevitable. The language Of
the Premier's reply was sufficiently serious to
cause a sensation but, the effect was vastly in
creased by the gloom ofhis manner. He arose
with some difficulty and did not attempt to
stIaighten himselfto his full hight. He kept
his eyes fixed on a memorandum which he held
in his hand, and only glanced at his audience
once or twice in iurtiveand almost apologet-
ic way. His demeanor WIS in marked con-
trast with his usual iaunty manner, and it
prepared even his friends TO listen to evil It'd
ings. His speech was simply negation. He
said that the Government had received no FUR
Their news from st. Petersburg, that it was not
known that the Russian troops had made fur
Their advances, and that the relations between
the Russian and British Governments had not
improved The speech was terrible disap-
pointment to all who have been hoping for
peace. The newspapers of yesterday and to-
day haYe virtually assumed that war was imm-
nent. They have published columns on col.
umns of special telegaphic dispatches showing
that neither England nor Russia could retreat
without abect qualification. The people had
become excited over this array of portentous
facts, and they were oil looking to Mr.. Glad
stone for some statement that would indicate a
peaceful solution of the difficulty. There is
not the slightest doubt that if Mr.. Gladstone
could have made such statement he would
have done so. There is no MANN England
who watches the public pulse with more So
licitude than Mr.. Gladstone, and he knew when
he al ose this evening that il he could offer q
prospect of peace he would relieve the anxiety
of millions of people. He did not offer any
such prospect, and the conclusion is inevitable
that he did not because he could not.

The American sailor is to be 50 radi-
cally altered in appearance, so far as his
service in the United States navy is con-
Cerned, that he will hardly be recogniza-
BILE. All of the pictures of him now ex-
tant will suddenly become obsolete. The
navy clothing board has been for a
month in daily session in New York for
the purpose of refashioning the naval
uniforms, which have for long time
been considered ridiculously antique. A
great number of exhibit suits have been
made and pondered, and q decision has
been practically reached. The blue will
remain as the dominant color, but the
shapes are to be thoroughly reformed.
The familiar expansion of the trousers
from tight knee to a petticoatish bot
tom will give place to cut of legs mora
nearly in conformity to civilian fashion.
The other sweeping innovation decided
on is hat, in place of the traditional,
snug banded, visorless, overhanging
topped cap, which has a wonderful ca
pacity for catching the wind and none at
all for shading the eyes from sunlight
The hat which the board has adopted is
exactly like one worn generally about
ten years ago. 1t is made of cloth, not
pressed felt, and has a rather low, round
top, with moderately wide brim, which
at usual times turns up evenly all round,
but can be turned down when protection
of the face is desired. The new hats
and trousers will take from the sailors
about all the distinctiveness which their
dress has heretofore given to them, but
it is calculated that there will be gain

OUR FLOUR IN CANADA,
The Maritime Provinces Protesting
Against an Increase of Duty,

Ihe Maritime Provinces Protesting
Against an Increase of Duty,
Protests are coming in from all parts of the
maritime provinces against any increase being
made in the duty on American flour. The
minister of finance has invited representatives
from NV Brunswick to lay their views before
him regarding the proposed change in the duty
on flour and coin meal, and later full caucus
Of the supporters of the government will be
held, when the question will be definitely set
tied as to the course the government will take
IN the matter. The minister of finance is in
favor of increasing the duty ON American flour
to 60 cents per barrel, and lower it from ~
cents to 25 cents per barrel on cornmeal, and
place corn on the free list. The increase of Is
cents per barrel on flour, the Ontario millers
say, will be sufficient to keep out American
flour. 1t is generally believed that no altera-
ton will be made in these duties this session.
