DAMAGE PLACED AT s25O,O0O. Heavy Suit Against she Calling Gun
 CoInnanY af Harffnrd

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-A suit to recover $25O. .000 damages from the Gatling Gun Go. of Hartford. Conn.,, was begun in the United Circuit court to-day by Charles Colne and Edward H. Carmick of this city. The French government opened negotiations with the company through the plaintiffs in 1887 to purchase all the patent rights of the compa- ny in France for the use of the government forever. Dr. Richard J. Gstling presi- dent of the company signed an agreement in October, 1887, authorizing the plaintiffs to convey the French rights to the patent 10 the French government for $50, ,000 as agreed further, according to the plaintiffs, to fur- aish guns and other patented appliances and accessories for experiments whenever the French government or it's agents desired. The plaintiffs now allege that the Gatling Gun company refuses to meet it's contract and has thus caused them loss of $250, 900. The complaint was originally brought in the Supreme court, but upon the application of Simpson, Thatcher & Barnum, for the de- fendants, the case to day was transferred to the United States Circuit court.

 NET YORK, Nov, 27.-Chauncey M. De- pew said tonight that there is no definite plan under consideration for settlement of the freight question. The published report that he and President Roberts, of ths Penn syivanfa, were in consultation during the day and that the lines would agree to a set- clement arranged by them, was untrue. Mir. Depew said he had not seen MT. Roberts since the last Trunk line meeting. He thought, however, that the difficulties will be lighted in few days; but in answer to the many rumors of adjustment said: 'T assure you we have done nothing more tow ard settlement to day than any other day this week" In reference to the reports from Chicago that big scheme was on foot to form vast railroad pool west of thas city, Mir. Depsw said: "ThAt story also has probably only existed in somebody's i'm agitation. I suppose it ia one of the many schemes that are daily proposed for the set- clement of the railroad question. I had not heard of it before"

 LONDON, Nov. 27.-Mr. Balfour, the chief secretary for Ireland, intimated in the House of Commons this evening that Mir. Earring ton, Mir. Finucane and other members of the Irish party under warrant of arrest would be permitted to attend the sittings of Parlia- under discussion.
 The debate on the Irish land purchase bill was resumed and MT. Shaw-Lefevre moved to insert 6 provision directing that no ad- vance shall be made to any tenant or pur- chaser exceeding e2,OOo. Mir. Balfour op- posed the motion. The experience of the last two years, he said, dissipated all fears thar the act would be abused by turning large tenants into proprietors to the exclusion of smaller ones, and he proposed as a sabsti- tute to Mr. Shaw-Lefevre's proposal that no advance exceeding 93, ,000 be made unless the commission decide that large advance, not, however, exceeding f5, 900, is expedient. MT. Balfours proposal was agreed to.
 MT. Iefevre next moved that no advance be given unless the tenant or his predecessors in the title had occupied the holding for at least five years. The object of the motion, he said, was to prevent the creation of bogus tenancies, which might become subject to advances under the act
 MT. Balfour refused his assent. He did not believe in the existence of bogus tenants. It would be unjust, he said, to exclude from the benefits tenants of less than five years
 MT. Dillon wished to know whether the government intended to use the bill for the purpose of planting Protestants from the north on estates in the south from which Catholic farmers were evicted. With such policy he said it would be hopeless to expect peace.
 The motion was rejected-120 to 93.
 The government accepted a clause pros posed by MT. Healey exempting the purchas- CT from all liabilities for rent arrears from the date the purchase is sanctioned.
 MT. HealeY then proposed a clause with the object of preventing the enforcement of purchase by threats of eviction. Rejected 205 to 142.
 Other amendments proposed by MT Healey were negstived and the bill finally passed the committee stage.

 A PhIIaaeIphIa Iron Steamer Lost, Probably With All on Board, on the Dread COhasset RoekS-L1st ofThose on Board.
 CoHAssET, Mass, Nov. 27.-The damage by the storm which has ragged along the south shore for the past three days is far in excess of anything of the kind before known in this locality and careful inspection of property from Cohasset to Windmill Point shows it to terday's dispatches. The supposition given this morning that the Philadelphia steamer Allentown had foundered off Cohasset rocks seems to be verified by additional develop ments. All dlay wreckage of various kinds has been coming ashore, including life pre- servers and other articles appertaining to 8 steamers furnishing, many of them stamped with the word Allentown" Captain Ma thaniel W. Treat, one of Cohassett's oldest sailors, from whom came the first intimation of the disaster, states that it is his opinion that the vessel has foundered either on Sea Ledges or on the Grampus. If this is the case the vessel must have gone down with all on board. Since the early reports many of the villagers have been scene who distinctly heard 8 steamers whistle shortly after noon on Sun day repeated st brief intervals for an hour or more ss if signalling for assistance or a pilot. It was, however, so thick at the time that nothing could be seen at such distance from shore, and even if any observation could have been made no boat could have been launched in the tremendous sea then prevailing.

A PTTIRUL SCENE.


 A trip along the waterfront to-day re- vealed such damage to land property, es- pecially along Crescent Beach. About Damon's pavilion at the head of Nantasket Long Beach the shore is strewn with wreck age of all sorts from the schooners H. c. Hig- ginson and Hattie E. Eaton, whose wrecks are lying in close proxi- mity to the pavilion. The former named vessel was rapidly breaking up and going to pieces. Her masts, however, are still standing and 1t is hoped that the fore mast, at least, will remain upright until low water tomorrow morning, when an at- tempt will be made to remove the body of the steward, L. Brems. which still remains lashed to the foretop rigging. This morning the widow of MT. Brems visited the scene and was prostrated by the spectacle of the dead body of her husband lashed to the rig ging of vessel which in all probability will go to pieces before the body can be reached.
