The state department at Washington has
just received thrilling account of shipwrcck
and piracy, such as seldom has been recorded
in the latter part of the 10th century. The
full account of il, which is furnished under
oath by the victims through the United States
counsel at Capetown, is thus summerized:
Tho bark Surprise of Boston, Captain
Avcrill master bound for Australia, ON the
2lst Of November last stranded ON reef on
the west coast OF Madagascar, 1t was soon
seen that the ship could not be saved so the
valuabIel and supply OF food were lowered

As soon as the wind went down q lit the

them kindly. They returned To the deserted
ship and found that the natives, after Selling
the cargo and stripping oil all the metal and
sails, had burned her to the waters edge.

SiGNALLED BY WHISTLES,
Another Railway Strike Inaugu-
rated at Kansas City.

The general sounding Of locomotive
whistles signalled the Inauguration of another
strike at Kansas City, Mo. The Union
switchmen in every railroad yard in the
city quit work, and freight business generally
was stopped The Chicago q Alton officials
made up a train by the help of nonunion
men, and sent it out, but the strikers are
said to have boarded and stopped it at the
casterly city limits. The Wabash is working
a small force, sufficient the officials say, to
handle city freight. Being under the pro-
lection Of the federal court, they have in
Voked the protection of the United States
marshal. At present the cause of the strike
cannot be learned. Some of the men say:
I've had orders from the headquarters of the
knights of Labor The switchmen made a
general demand for advance in wages a week
ago Of the various roads, and it was granted

THE LAND QUESTION.
Gladstone's appropriation Scheme
Stated Another Way.

1t is affirmed by persons believed to know
that there never has been any foundation for
the statement that Mr.. Gladstone intended
to ask authority to issue loan in order to
secure funds to carry out his scheme to buy
out the real estate owners of Ireland 1t is
now declared that the premier in his scheme,
proposes the appointment of commissioner
of experts to fix the value of the various lam
properties in Ireland, which at these valua-
tions, are to be handed over to the possession
of the government in exchange for consols
In this way Ireland is to be made debtor to
the empire for the entire amount paid to the
landlords, together with interest, the whole
sum to be repaid into the imperial treasury
by Ireland in instalments within the term OF
50 years, at the end of which term the
lessees are to become the owners, This par
involves domestic arrangement between
the government of Ireland and the tenants,
Ireland becoming the tenant of the empire
and subletting to the occupers at sums whose
aggregate will incued rent, taxes and levy
to meet the interest on the consols and create
n sinking fund for their final liquidation. 1t
necessarily involves home rule.
