MANY LIVES LOST.

Great Destruction Among the French
Fishing-FIeet ON the South Coast of
lceland-Many Vessels Wrecked and 1871
Lives Lost.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept. 10.--Captain
Ryan, of the schooner A. d. Story, which
has just arrived from Iceland, reports
great destruction among the French fish
ing feet in the month of April on the
south coast of Iceland. AS that is the cod
fishing ground for the French in the spring,
the whole French fleet were concentrated
in that locality, when a terrible storm
came up which engulfed six vessels with all
their crews. A sea swept over one vessel
washing overheard the captain and eleven
men. Another vessel lost the captain and
three mon and another her captain and two
men. As near as could be ascertained, the
number of men lost was 1877 Many of the;
vessels were so badly damaged that they
had to be abandoned Three hundred men
were left in destitute condition in Iceland
until steamer carried them away They
endured many hardships while there, the
supply of food being limited. The feet of
fishing vessels on that coast was the
largest for years. The American vessels
did fairly well and suffered no mishaps
The schooner Landseer sailed for a new
fishing ground off Westernland $50 miles
from Dryefjord, whereno American vessel
had fshed. The winter in Iceland was
finer than usual and there was no destitu-
ton among the natives. . e o.

ing upon them. They are offered iIstcad-free
tobacco and free whisky. They ask for bread
and are given stone. The implication con-
tanned in this party declaration that desperate
measures are justified or necessary 20 save
from destruction or surrender what is termed
our protective system should confuse no one..
The existence of such a system is entirely con-
s.stent With the regulation of tbs extent to
which ii should be applied and the correction
OF its abuses.
.sOf course, in country as great as ours,
with such a variety OF interests, often leading
in entirely different directions, it is difficult il
not impossible, to settle upon perfect tariff
plan, but in accomplishing the reform we have
entered upon, the necessity of which is so OBJ
vious, believe we should not be content with
reducti0n OF revenue involving the prohibition
of importatlons and the removal of the inter-
nal tax upon whisky. 1t can be better and
more safely done within the lines Of granting
actual relief to the people in their meaes .of
living. and at the same time giving an impetus
to our domestic enterprises ahd furthering our
National welfare.
"H misrepresentation of our purposes and
motives are to gain credence and defeat our
present effort in this direction there seems to
re no reason Why every endeaver in the future
Z. accomplish revenue reform should not be
likewise attacked and with like result. And
YET no thoughtful man can fail TO see in the
connnuance of the present burdens of the peo-
pie, aid tie abstraction by the GoEernment>of
the currency of the country, inevitable disas-
action. The difficulty of applying the remedy
will never bs less, and the blame should not be
laid at the door Of the Democratic party if it is
applied too late.
with firm faith in the intelligence and
patriotism OF our countrymen, and relying upon
the conviction that Misrepresentation will not
influence them, prejudice will not cloud Their
understanding and that menace will not in
tnidate them. let US urge the peoples inter-
est and public duty for the vindication of our
attempt to inaugurate righteous and benefi-
cent reform. GROVER CLEVELAND"

Early the other morning a crowd Of
nearly two hundred men gathered within
a few blocks of the county jail at Ashland,

Amrine, was confined, and were all ready for
the signal to make rush for-the jail when
Sheriff Breen advised. them that he had
twelve deputies inside the bars who would
shoot to kill if any man attempted to enter.
The mob thereupon dispersed because no
one of sufficient courage could be found to
take the lead against the force in the Jail.
The sheriff's determined stand saved the
prisoner from terrible fate, as the mob
was bent on lynching him. The examina-
ton of Richie was held before Justice
Metgher, the chal sc being murder, and he
