Following in the Wake of the Mikade .
 and Bringing Grief to His Many
 Anxious Creditors.
 LONDON, Jan. 15.-Tte Boston Globes representative has cabled tonight as fol- lows:
 The numerous creditors of the eccentric King Louis of Bavaria, and they include some pretty influential personages, are nov ing heaven and earth to have the King de clared insane and his property put in the hope, as the Kings ministers have been de feated in their efforts to secure an appropria- tion for the payment of the royal debts. It is said that certain curious provi- sions of law have been discovered, the effect of which is that, though the Kings property cannot be proceeded against for debt while he is actual ly reigning, yet the moment he is declared insane or ceases for any reason to be the de facto ruler, his property becomes subject to the same legal action as that of any private citizen. Appeals are said to have been made to the ambition of the Kings brother, who is the heir-presumptive to the throne, but that prince is nearly as eccentric as his brother and one of his oddities is an utter lack of desire to become nominal sovereign. If he and the rest of the family should make an organized effort to dethrone Louis they would have no difficulty in proving his in sanity and accomplishing their ends. The tating the Mikade of Japan and allows no one to see him on any pretext. This freak probably marks the crisis of his singular career and he will doubtless be forced to a settlement or abdication soon if he is not adiudged 1unatic.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-There has been a great decrease in the number of vessels ar irving at this port during the last week, chiefly owing to the heavy weather experi- enced along the coast. Several vessels are now overdue from Europe, West Indies and South American ports. Owing to the great quantities of ice in the bay sailing craft on their arrival off the Hook will be at the mercy of towboat captains, who reap a rich harvest at this season. A we'll known towboat cap tain within few days demanded S1 ,000 to tow foreign bark from the Highlands to her wharf in Brooklyn. The master consid cred himself fortunate in striking bargain at $500. It took the tug just two and half hou1s to dock the vessel. Only one foreign steamer arrived this forenoon, the Rhynland from Antwerp. She was obliged to drop anchor off the Southwest Spit owing to large fields of ice going out with the tide. The Acapulco from Aspinwall, which arrived last evening, was obliged to anchor off Staten Island owing to ice in the upper bay. Her passengers were landed this morning.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 15.-A terrific boiler ex- plosion occurred at Harpers rolling mill in Newport, Kentucky, at 5;20 this evening by which several persons were seriously injured and property damaged to the amount of s2,o0o.

Another piece of the wheel went up in the air and landed on the river bank quarter of Q mile distant. Bully one hundred men were in and around the mill at the time and it seems re- markable that the casualties so few. James Swift, living on Elm street, had his right leg broken and is seriously burned. Christ Rsch had his back broken, William Golden injured in the left leg and several cuts on the head. Edward Onions was slight 1y cut on the head. man named Matthews received slight injuries. Several others were slightly hurt. All of the wounded were re- moved to their respective homes.
