A Terrible Experlence.

LONDON, June 2l.- The American
ship Frank Pendleton, Capt. Nichols,
f.om San Francisco, Feb. 10. has arrived
at Queenstown. He has on board the
mate of the British bark Arklow, Capt.
Pye, from Manila for Montreal. The
Arklow was in a collision on May 8, with
an unknown vessel, and was cut to the
waters edge. The captain, mis- wife and
child and ten seamen, took to the lifeboat,
while the mate put off alone in a small
boat. 1t is feared that the occupants OF
the life boat were lost. The mate had "A
most terrible experience. He "a for
eight days without food, water or clothing,
the supplies he had provided himself with
having been lost by the capsizlDg Of his
boat. He chung to the keel for twenty
four hours and then succeeded in righting
the craft. He hung up his shirt for a
sail and caught a few flying fish which he
ate. He proceeded slowly for six days
looking in vain for a sail, when he became
unconscious. While in this condition his
boat was sighted by the Frank Pendleton,
and he was rescued. The rescue took
place on May 10th.

Flames and Death.

BosToN, June 2l.-A terrific fire, &C
companied by loss of life, his afternoon
destroyed the New England Institute and
Fair building on Huntington avenue. The
building was built by the New England
Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute
for exhibition purposes at a cost of nearly
$500, 900. Last winter it was purchased
by the Metropolitan Street Railroad COM
pany for 5000, 900. and has since been
used as a place for storing cars. So
quickly did the flames spread that before
the fire engines had arrived the immense
roof had fallen and the building was a
mass of flames. The flames refused to
surrender until they had conquered every
thing combustible within the building,
and the work of rescue was attended with
great danger. The charred remains of
two men were brought out, and are
thought to be those of Con Taylor and a
man named Frost, both carpenters. 1t is
believed that other bodies are buried in
the debris, as several workmen are miss.
ing. All is confusion and no correct
statement of the loss of life can yet be
made. The flames are still burning in the
interior OF the building, of which nothing
is left except the lower portion of the
walls.
There were many men inside the build
ing when the fire broke out, and all rushed
for the rear window. Most OF them were
helped out, but while a rush was being
made to one of the windows at which a
scorched and bleeding face was seen, the
person who had been looking out fell back
into the seethlng mass and was past all
help. A colored man, name unknown,
went back into the burning building to
save some property, and was not seen to
come out again. Chester l.. Hazeltine
and f. L. Farren had plenty of opportu-
nifty to escape, but endeavored to pull out
some cars and were frightfully burned.
While thousands of spectators were view
ing from neighboring roofs the magnif
cent spectacle, a horrible tragedy was
being enacted within, although out of
sight and unknown tic the throng. After
the flames had been sufficiently extin-
guishcd, search began among the charred
ruins for possible victims, and up to 9 p.
IN. eight dead bodies had been removed,
most of them being burned beyond recog-
milton.
1t is believed that there are at least four
more bodies in the ruins. Inside this
building were 400 horse cars, fully re
paired, each worth 500. Repairs and
refurnishing of the building amounted
TO about $50. 1000. The total loss is about
s4O0, 900. The burning of the vast build
ing was one of the grandest sights seen
in this city since the great fire of 1872.
The wind blew freshly and added much
to the power of the flames as they rapidly
swept from one part of the building to an
other.

EDINBURG, June 2l,- Gladstone ad-
dressed another large and enthusiastic
meeting here to-day. In the course OF his
speech he said it was irksome to always
be compelled to refer to Ireland, but that
this was due to the Tories, who
blocked the way, so that the government
could not get rid of the question, and pro-
coed to other business of the empire. He
relied, he added, upon the peoples energy
TO clear the line now, and allow the train
of progress to go on to its destination.
lie denied that he clieered Mr.. Sexton
when the latter followed Mr.. Chamber
lain in the debate on the home rule bill
and tainted him with being ambitious to
be mayor of Birmingham. He reiterated
his demand upon the marquis of Salisbury
and the earl of Carnarvon to answer the
questions he asked of them last Friday
night, and said he thought that Mr..
Goschee, formerly a Liberal minister,
would make a good Tory candidate.
Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone said hat he
did not complain of the secession of Lord
Harrington and Mr.. Bright. They were
. small fraction of the Liberal party.
They had abandoned its traditions, which
were honorable regarding Ireland. As
for the speech on the action of Fitzwilliam
and C~avendish it showed their descend
ants were trying to resist that policy,
which, if it had been carried out, would
have saved years of trouble. The land
purchase bill was applicable at the time
when he introduced it in the house Of
commons, but he had failed to receive
the support of Lord Harrington and
Others. He did not think England and
Scotland received itso favorably as they
received the home rule bill. The cabinet
were now free to rc-approach the whole
subject. lfthey continued in Office the
cabinet would carry out the home rule pro-
grammc with due regard to their obligations
They desired to secure local self govern
ment for Ireland with perfect security to

clared, concealed his ideas from the coun-
try when the great crisis had come. The
people had had the audacity to say that
he endeavored to force this question for

the shade all other legislation. He fore

Why He Vetoes Them.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-In vetoing
pension to day. the president said | an
so thoroughly tired of disappearing gift
of public money to individuals who in my
view, have no right or claim to the same,
Notwithstanding apparent congressional
sanction, that | interpose with a feeling Of
relief in a case where | find it unnecessary
to determine the merits OF the application
In speaking of the promiscuous and i'll
advised grants of pensions which have
lately been presented to mt for approval.
have spoken of their apparent congress
sional sanction In recognition Of the
fact that a large proportion of these bills
have never been submitted to a majority
of either branch of congress, but are the
result of nominal sessions, held for the
express purpose of their consideration.
and attended by a small minority Of the
respective houses Of the legislative branch
of the government. Thus, in considering
these bills, | have not felt that | was
aided by the deliberate Judgment of con-
gress, and when / have deemed it my
duty to discharge many of the bills pre-
scented, | have hardly regarded my action
as a dissent from the conclusions of the
people representatives. have not been
insenslble to the suggestion which should
influence every citizen either in private
station or official place, to exhibit not
only Just but generous appreciation of the
services of our country's defenders.
In reviewing the pension legislation pre-
scented to me, many bills have been APP
proved upon the theory that every doubt
should be resolved in favor of the pro-
posed beneficiary. have not, however,
been able to entirely divest myself of the
idea that the public money appropriated
for pensions is a soldiers fund which
should be devoted to the Naturalization
Of those who in defense of the Union and
in the nations service have worthily de-
served. and who in the day of their de
pendence, resulting from such suffering,
entitled to the benefit Of actions of their
government. This reflection tends to the
bestowal of pensions a kind of sacredness
which invites the adoption of such pr;n-
ciples and regulations as will exclude per-
version as well as insure a liberal and gen.
erous application of grateful and benevo-
lent designs. Heedlessness and disregard
of the principle which underllcs the grant
ing of pensions is unfair to the wounded
and crippled soldier who is honored in
just recognition of his government. Such
a man should never find himself side by
side on the pension roll with those who
have been tempted to attribute their nat
ural ills to which humanity is heir to ser
vice in the army. Every relaxation of
principle in the granting of pensions
invites applications without merit and en-
courages those who for gain urges honest
men to become dishonest. Thus is the
demoralizing lesson taught the people, as
against the public treasury most ques-
tionable %expedeints are allowable.
