CAPT. QUIcLEY OF THE TERROR.
He Is a PhIIanthropist and Not Pi-
rate.-He Drives Yankee Vessels to
Sea to Avoid Capturing Them.

HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 23.-Three Nova
Scotia vessels have arrived home fran Lab
rador and report the codfshing there total
failure. They secured only one-third of
cargo. This indicates great distress in that
region this year.
Dispatches from Prince Edward Island
say that out of seventeen American selners
which put into Georgetown. only seven en-
tered at the custom house, and the harbor
master collected only five dollars from each
vessel where he should have obtained four
teen dollars Admiral Scott has been invited
to be at Rustico on the 9th inst. to witness
the Portland mackerel steam senior Novelty

fishermen at that place.
rived at Halifax today. He is as mild man
nered man as ever cut a throat or scuttled
ship" Interviweed by your correspondent as
to his treatment of American vessels, ne SAID
that he was commissioned to enforce the law
and had simply done his duty. instead OF
setting traps to catch American vessels as
he had been charged with doing, he had pre-
vented them from falling into traps. Had he
been disposed to allow them to violate
the law he could have seized dozens OF
Americans. Instead of this he warned
them from wrong doing and thus aided
them to escape capture and punishment, and
rendered real service to American vessel
owners In previous years, between 800 and
600 American fishing xessels had frequented
Tile cOdSt UeIW6tl IlduldA anu OdPC Oau!Os
where they enjoyed every privilege, and he
charges, carried on, wholesale smuggling
trade with New England. I'll says he has
almost entirely suppressed this Illicit busi-
ness and this year less than 25e American m %;eh
he has boarded about So He says that he
has thoroughly protected the &c coast N Not
Americans, and the fisheries have been con-
sequently greatly improved for local fishermen
Between the first of September and the first
of February in previous years 20 sail vessels
have engaged in the fresh haddock fishery at
and near Shelburne harbor That trade, will
be entirely destroyed this year,as he declares
that he will not allow solitary Yankee to
fish there.
Captain Quigley gave his version of the
stories of arbitrary treatment of the Ameri-
can schooners Rather, Shiloh, Craig, North
ern Light and Others and claimed that he
had performed his duties courteously but
firmly. Yankee shippers resort to every
conceivable trick, he says, to get ahead of
the cruisers and customs officers, and he says
that the stories which they tell at Portland
and Gloucester must be taken with very
large grain of salt.

FINEST OF THE YEAR.
The Surf at Bar Harbor Sunday

BAR HARBoR, Aug. 23-The surf at bai
Harbor was the heaviest of the year, SUNDAY
night, and the steamers "Sappho, Eiec-
ira" and others, were unable to lie at the
wharves, proceeding to Mt. Desert Ferry loI
safer anchorage. Several cat-boats sank a'
their moorings during the night, only 'ne
tops of the masts showing above water III
the morning The floats for the row ooa'S
were broken loose Yachts danced tln oaii-
gereus proximity and dragged dangerously
about the harbor. Crowds visited the Silore
in the evening. In the afternoon OIL sunday
the surf was exceptionally heavy, ana cro"us
watched the sea breaking along the sea wal
and at the base of Otter Cliffs. The spoutlng
horn near Schooner Head was OF unusual al
traction.
The crowd has begun to leave Bar Haroor'
The first decided homeward move was MADE
Sunday afternoon, the 4.30 O'Clock ooat peing
crowded and the Bar Harbor train oeng
made up of seven crowded cars, four OF them
sleepers. Another large party left Monday
morning. The arrivals at Bar Harbor last
week were excessive, far in advance OF the
hotel accommodations.

MEXICAN TROOPS MAssINc.
Our Southern Cousins Prepare to
Fight-Mr. Cleveland Criticised.

dALvrsre4v, Aug. a3s--A special to the
News from Laredo says:
In connection with the fact that the mill
tary authorities in Mexico have, within the
last week, purchased all the arms and ammu-
milton to be had in Laredo, it is also a fact
that in addition to the 1000 troops within a
few hours march of Nuevo Laredo, there are
at present 1000 Mexican cavaly posted along
the Rio Grande, between Nuevo Laredo and
Piedras Negras.
At the old town of Palafox, 40 miles above
here, there is detachment of Mexican troops,
and they are reported to be throwing up for
tifications, pending the final decision IN the
Cutting Case. Great uneasiness prevails on
this part of the border concerning the utter
ly defenceless condition of the people, and
sharp criticisms on all sides are heard OF the
Presidents fishing trip to the Adirondacks,
while Mexico is pushing her troops to the
Rio Grande in order to strike hard in the
event of war being declared.
The destruction of private property along
the Rio Grande on the American side before
an army could be modified would, it is al
legged, be great, and the value of the property
destroyed, would amount to more than the
cost of the concentration of few thousand
troops by the government at the principal
points along the American border. The
Mexicans say the Americans are a nation of
shopkeepers and won't fight.

ANOTHER "TIE-UP" NEW YORK.
The Cars of the Broadway Road
Cease Running-A General Strike
Anticipated.

New YORK, Aug. 23.-Fears are enter
tanned that another general ''tie-up" of the
surface roads in this city and Brooklyn is on
the eve of taking place. A new time table
was put into effect this morning ON the
Broadway road, and, as it makes the hours
much longer, without increasing the pay of
the men, they are very indignant. The en-
ployes held a meeting last night and was
continued into this morning. The subject
under discussion was Strike or no strike. :"
What result was reached is not known, but
an endeavor will be made by the Broadway
men to get the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Ave
nue. roads to go out with them. If they sue
ceed general strike is predicted
Under the new law, the men say they are
actually worked twelve hours out of the
twenty-four by trick. The law which says
that horse railroad employees shall not work
more than twelve hours day ingeniously
omitted to say twelve consecutive hours, "
and it would be easy to arrange schedule
under it SO that driver should be lawfully
deprived of any chance to sleep three con-
secutive hours day.
6 a. m. The Broadway road has just tiled
up;'' all the others are still running.

The First Arrival of the Gloucester
Fleet.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. 23.-Schooner
Arthur ID. Story, Captain Ryan, arrived this
afternoon from lsefjard, Iceland, and is the
first of the fleet to arrive. She reports that
heavy storms were met with and great pre-
caution had to be taken to prevent colliding
through the Strait Of Belle Isle. The cap
tain reports stopping at several harbors and
making inquiries about mackerel but was
told by the natives that none had been seen
there this season. The winter at Iceland
was reported fine and Goldfish was caught on
that coast all winter. The month of May
was favorable for halibut fishing, but since
then gales of wind, accompanied by snow
storms, continually prevailed, so that fishing
was retarded and the fleet had done poorly.
Goldfish on the coast were scarce and prices
low. A large number of French fishermen
were seen and had done nothing. Reports
from Norway are favorable and the cod
fishing is the best ever known on that coast
The rest Of the fleet were seen and reported
meeting with no disasters. The Story brings
about half fare. Captain Ryan thinks the
vessels will not obtain full fares, for stormy
weather and drift ice on the coast will not
permit The Story was the last vessel sail
ing from this port, April Goth, for the Ice
land coast and is the earliest arrival ever
reported from there.

LOOKING IN VAIN FOR BISHOP.
Lowell Excited Over the Rumor That
He Will Jump Into the Concord or
MerrmaC

LOWELL, Aug. 23.-The announcement
that Charles E. Bishop of Maine would leap
from some of the highest elevations in Low
ell into the Merrimac or, Concord rivers, has
proved attraction enough to keep large
number of interested people in the vicinity
of the Central and Pawtucket street bridges
on the Merrimac and the six-arched bridge
over the Concord river. The curious ones
were doomed to disappointment, as up to l
o'clock this afternoon Bishop failed to APP
pear. If he is in Lowell, he must be keeping
himself in private dwelling, for his name
does not appear on any hotel register, nor
has he been seen at the railroad station by
the officials.
A shoe drummer who arrived at the Merri-
mac street station this morning was taken
for Bishop. The herdic in which he placed
himself and bundles was followed by num-
ber of young people for some distance, but
when he entered a shoe store and opened his
sack they retired in disgust.
Bishop attempted any of his tricks in the
vicinity of any of the bridges he would ar
rest him for attempting to commit suicide.
A report was prevalent about. IL O'Clock
that Bishop had jumped from the Pawtucket
street bridge into the canal, but this is de-

HORRORS OF the STORM.
Thirty-Eight People Lose Their Lives
in Last Weeks Gale.
A Pecuniary Loss of Many Millions of
Dollars.
Great Destitution Report ed Among
the Poor Glass of People.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 23.-From Indi-
anola comes the saddest news yet reported
about the storm. During the height of the
storm the signal Office was blown down, car
rying with it Capt. |. A. Reed, signal officer,
and DR.. H, ROSencranS, both of whom were
lost.
Fire broke out among the ruins, which ex-
tended for blocks on both sides of the street,
destroying thirteen houses, among which
were D. H. Reagan's large dry goods store,
ment. DR.. Lewis was in this building at the
time it took fire. He escaped being burned
to death. but was subsequently drowned, his
body being found yesterday. So far as can
be learned fourteen white people were killed
and the bodies Of ten ,colored persons
have been found. Four miles of the track is
washed away, rendering it impossible to ap-
prOach lndian0la.
There is much destitution among the poor
er classes who have lost everything they
possessed. The depth of the water is re-
ported as great as it was during the great
Storm Of Is, when Indianola lost nearly two
hundred of her citizens. Friday, the flood
of water over the doomed town was so rapid
that within two hours after the first appre-
tensions were felt, every street was sub
merged many feet At San Antonio the loss
is 100000. Never before was the lower
Texas coast visited by so terrible and de-
structive storm. 1t extended for 200 miles
inland destroying thousands Of houses and
involving pecuniary loss of many millions.
Among the poorer classes great desolation
must prevail, as few were able to save any
considerable portion of their small possess
ions from the general wreck.
The entire crop of the present year is prac-
tically gone and vast deal of suffering must
ensue, especially among the negroes, most of
whom are without means of any kind. 1t is
feared that many more people were drowned
at Indianola. The lower end of the penin-
sula is completely washed away. Many peo-
pie are missing and nothing definite can be
learned until the waters recede. The storm
came in the shape of hurricane. The
waters of the Gulf rase up and in three hours
the whole peninsula on which Indianola is
situated was under ten feet of water. The
total loss as now known to Texas frcm the
Gulf storm is: Human lives 3S. Loss to
crops $1,000,0OO. Loss to city and town prop
erty, So, 900. Loss to shipping and har-
Dor improvements 100000.

ParneII's Reply to the Queen.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-ParnelHs amendment
to the address in reply to the Queens speech
is substantially as follows: We humbly as
sure your majesty that we fear that, owing to
the heavy fall in prices of agricultural pro-
duce, the greatest difficulty will be ex-
perienced during the coming winter by Irish
servant farmers in payment of present rents.
Many will be unable to pay and numerous
tenants by the land act of 1881 will follow,
causing wide spread suffering and endanger-
ing maintenance of social order. We de-
preeiate any attempt to transfer loss due to
inability to pay rents from owners of land to
tax payers of Great Britain and Ireland to
any extention of the State assisted purchase
on basis of rents fixed when prices were
higher than thew are now,

Mr.. Reeds Record.

washington Correspondence Boston Journal]
Mr.. Reed was appointed member of the
Committee on Ways and Means, on Rules
and on Ordnance and Gunnery. He receiv-
ed the complimentary nomination OF his
party for Speaker, by virtue of which selec-
tion. as we'll as from his commanding ability
he was recognized as the leader OF the MINOR
ity Among the more important measures
which Mr.. Reed presented to the House are
the following: To amend the law relative to
the Japanese indemnity fund; to change the
law relative to sugar duties; to amend the
Constitution of the United States in favor OF
women suffrage; to provide for new method
of auditing public accounts and to fix - close
Misunderstanding season, bill which became
q law. ----.--
Mr.. Reed makes few set speeches, but he
is always looked to as the emergency man in
any great crisis, and ON such occasions can
be relied upon as safe leader. He lisa mas
ter of polemics and of all the arts of politi-
cal controversy. No man in either House is
more quick at repartee or better equipped for
any sudden emergency than Mr.. Reed, and
there is no one whom, in running debate,
the Democracy so much dread as the Repre-
sentative from the First District. Had Mr..
Morrison proceeded with his tariff bill Mr..
Reed would have made what is known as
set speech upon that subject. but II he makes
few deliberate arguments, there are not many
important questions which come before the
House upon which Mr.. Reed does not make
brief, pithy and forcible addresses. Among
the subjects which he has discussed this
winter, and always in very able manner,
may be noted the following; The various
plans for the revival of American shipbuild-
ing; propositions relative to changes in the
rules; the resolution ordering the telephone
pertinent speeches on this subject, in view
Of the fact that the Democrats avoided dis
the powerful arraignment which they were
confident Mr. Randall mo would oF fbsg give ths%
tion bills: on the bill for the promotion of
General Hunt; on the labor arbitration
question; on the privileges OF the floor Of
the House; on the river and harbor bill; on
Page VS.. Pirce, the contested election case
from Rhode Island; on the consular and
diplomatic bill; on the proposition to pro-
hibit the employment of convict labor on

FISHING WITHOUT FEAR.
The Novelty Experiencing no Difficult
tyin Obtaining Full Fares.

A special despatch to the Halifax Chroni-
Gle says: The American schooner Druid,
with supplies, which was seized by the cruis-
er Houlett at Malpeque while seeking shell
ter, was released by order, as no actual
transferment of supplies was known to have
been made. The Patriot says that it learns
from reliable information that the American
steamer Novelty was running four seines off
Rustico ON Wednesday and Thursday within
two miles of the shore, with great success.
While there the steamer bought two seine
dips of mackerel from Rustico fisherman,
paying him $40 for one and $225 for the
other. The Novelty left for home yester-
day. and will be back next Friday to load all
the fish the same man can secure. The Pa
triot remarks that Captain Scott would do
well to be on hand and see for himself. Your
correspondent interviewed a number of fish
ermen today, who declared the cutters to be
useless. They say that Americans often
come so near to the shore as to tear their
seines on the rocks. One said: ''If we were
TO be treated in this way we would go in for
hoisting the stars and stripes"

military were assisting in the .e eviction n;t I,o OF

if thew refused to submit tamely to such
