tons of conference week.

up on the charge of vagrancy. He ap-
peared to be neat. clean and decent
young man, and promised to either get

The Coming Chinese Contest

SAN FRANCISCO, October 7. = The
steamer Belgic arrived to-day. twenty
nine days from Hong Kong, having
been delayed by head winds and high
seas. She brings 106 Chinese. To-day
being Sunday there was no attempt
made to land them, but it is thought
that tomorrow friends of the Chinese
will apply for writ of habeas corpus for
one of these aboard. about the genuine
ness of whose certificate and right to
lapd under the law there could be no
doubt. The application will probably
be denied by the United States courts.
The case will then be carried to the
United States Supreme Court and the
ccnstltutionality of the Scott bill tested.
The Duke of Westminster also arrived
from Hong Kong, via Vancouver, Be-,
with oil Chinese aboard.

CONGRESS ON THE STRIKE.
THE MINORITY REPORT ACCEPTED
 BY THE HOUSE.

MT. Raynor's Eloquence and Plain State
 ment of Facts Swamp the Majority Re-
 port-A Committee Iof Five Members
 will Investigate the Reading Trouble.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The effect of intense conviction coupled with the orators magic power of crystalizing it for the appreciation of others, was evidenced yesterday in the house. Mir. Raynor, of Maryland, gave ample evidence of the possession of the gift of i'm passioned eloquence, and he carried his asso- ciates with him as torrent carries splinters
 Mr. Clardy. of Missouri, the chairman of the house committee on commerce, in present ing the majority report on the house resolu- tion to investigate the Reading strike, which was that the whole matter be referred to the interstate commerce commission, said it was entirely within the province of the commission to investigate it.
 MT. Raynor, member of the dissenting minority of the committee fixed the attention of the house and galleries in his opening phrase. Bursts of applause greeted his every period. ''I know that monopoly is an enemy terrible to encounter" he concluded, ''but have never seen the days in the halls of legis- tion when honor, without price, and man. hood, without fear, could not drive it like a skulking coward from the field of battle. :" Round after round of applause echoed and re- echoed throughout the chamber, and the speakers gavel could not bring the house to order for five minutes. Mir. Raynor had his hand grasped by forty men and the request of the majority of the commerce committee was doomed beyond peradventure.
 Then followed half an hour of considerable confusion, ill which amendments were of fered and criticised. The several proposi- tions were finally formulated and merged into the following resolution, which, without division, was adopted:
 Resolved, That a special committee of five members be appointed to investigate forthwith the extent, causes and effect upon interstate commerce of the continued failure of the Read ing Railroad company to transport such com merce, and to report to the house, by bill oI otherwise, for consideration at any time, sucls legislation as is necessary to secure to the public the regular and complete execution by a railroaI company of its obligations to serve as a common carrier of interstate commerce, and to investi gate the differences existing in the Lehigh and the corporations mining coal and the miners, corporations and individual miners of anthracit. coal in connection herewith. and all facts in re lation to the matter, and report the same to tn, house with such recommendation as the com mittee may agree upon.
 After the adjournment of the house Mir Cox, speaker pro tenn, said that the specia committee would probably be appointed by Speaker Carlisle; but he would confer wit shat gentleman with 0 view to ascertaining hiS wishes

BIG BLAZE Isi BUFFALO.
The Total Loss, it is Estimated, Will
 Reach $1,5OO,GOO.

BUFFALO, Feb. 2.-The large dry goods store of Barnes, Hengerer S Co.,, on Main street, between Swan and Seneca streets, took fire ill the basement yesterday, and in an incredibly short time the flames were sweeping through the lower part of the building and leaping up the stairways to the upper stories A general alarm was sounded but before single line of hose was laid the building was all ablazc and ill less than half an hour it was complete wreck. The building was five stories high, with a handsome iron front, and extended through from Main to Pearl streets The dry goods firm employed about 450 per sons, including a large number of girls. When the fire started many of the clerks had gone to dinner, and there were but few customers in the store There were many narrow es- capes. @-
 Soon afterward the massive iron front on Main street fell with a crash. The Pearl street front had fallen seven minutes after the alarm had sounded. In the meantime the fire had extended up as far the Third Ma tional bank on the corner of Swan street. and the stores between that and Glenny's crockery establishment were all blazing in front. At the same time the intense heat had cracked the windows in the stores on the opposite side of Main and Pearl streets, and streams of water were poured in, badly dam aging the buildings and goods At 1 p. h. the fire was under control. The total loss is S1, ,500,O00. Barnes, Hengerer & Co. are in sured for $600,OO0, and the building is in sured for S6OO0O

A Time Honored Custom in the Way of
 Professor Sloan's Selection.

 Professor Sloan's Selection.
 NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 2.-The trustees of Princeton college will meet on Feb Q to hear the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to act on President McCosh's resignation. There is much discussion over the question who shall succeed Dr. McCosh. The majority of the board of trustees are said to be in favor of Dr. F. L. Patton, of the Princeton Theological seminary. There is a large minority, however, strongly backed by the young alumni of the college, who would choose Professor William H. Sloane, of the college faculty. The board of trustees has about as many clerical as lay mem bers. The former want to see clergy men in the chair, as has beea the custom in Princeton since 1740. A number of the lay men side with them, and their combined choice is Dr. Patton, an ordained clergyman Their only objection to Professor Sloane is that he is layman, and they do not wish to break the time honored custom by selecting him. There is some talk of creating the place of vice-president, to be filled by Profes- sor Sloane It is said that if this should be done there would practically be unanimity in the selection of Dr. Patton, as the advocates of Professor Sloane among the trustees would vote for the clerical candidate if this conces- sion were made Both candidates are com paratively young men. Dr. Patton is 4 years old, while William H. Sloane, who is professor of history, is only s.

The Big Strike,

PoTTsvILLE, Pa., Feb. 2.-It begins to look as if the big strike were about to collapse as suddenly as it commenced. There was cer- tanly serious break in the ranks of the strikers yesterday. It occurred among the miners employed in the individual collieries about Shenandoah and in the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company's col ieries, also at Mahanoy City. At the former place the William Penn mine started up with 400 men out of a total of 800, and the Kehley $ run with over 200 out of total of 800 At the latter place the North Mahanoy resumed work with a respe: table force, and the Suffolk and Tunnelridge mines had considerable ac- sessions to the numbers that have been at work there since the beginning of the week.

MORLEY AND RlPON,
A Demonstration in Dublin Al
 Without Precedent.

A Demonstration in Dublin Almost
 Without Precedent.
 DUBLIN, Feb. 2.-The reception to MT. John Morley and Lord Ripon ill Dublin last evening was one of the most magnificent demonstrations ever witnessed here. But for the remarkable display made on the departure of Lord Aberdeen it might be described as unprecedented. After the presentation of ad- dresses at Kingston the distinguished guests were met by a torchlight procession of trades which occupied two hours in passing a given point, and escorted to the residence of ex-At- yorney General Walker.
 Later in the evening a reception was given by Mrs. Dwyer Gray at Pembroke house, at which 6GO guests were entertained. These, so to speak, are simply prelininaries The real business will begin this afternoon with the presentation Of the freedom of the city, and great meeting at Leinster hall in the evening" Tomorrow addresses from various bodies will be presented at the Mansion house, and Mr. Morley and Lord Ripon will be entertained by the lord mayor at luncheon. In the evening grand conversazione will be held in Leinster hall.
 MT. T. D. Sullivan, the ex-lord mayor, took part in the procession, in which he made a striking figure, seated between MT. Morley and Lord Ripon. He will preside at the meeting tonight.

WRECKED AND WRECKED AGAIN
,'he Narrowing Experiences of the CreN
 of the Alfred Watts.


 NEW YORK, Feb 2-Afore of the frequently old tale of the wreck of the ship Alfre Watts arrived here yesterday on the S hl %cDouga1, from Barba1oes It was rela by Capt Young. of the British bark Lizzlt perry, which took off from the -Shatterel hulk of the Watts the only two survivors o her crew of twenty-eight men. The Watt left Philadelphia for Japan on Oct. II, an was capsized off the Bahamas in hurricane week later. A giant swept every man from the deck. All but six were drowned outright, and these caught hold of part oi the forecastle and managed to cling to it night. At dawn they saw the water logge hull of the Watts about a quarter of a mile to windward. With fragments of spars forl cars they rowed for thirty-six hours without food or drink, and brought the fin1sy raft within a few hundred yards of the wreck.
 Young Mr. Burgess 6 son of the owner of the shlp deli1'ious from his sufferings, fancied he saw land near, and, saying he was going to walk to it, stepped off the raft into the sea. He swan few minutes, and then suddenly went under, as if he had been seized by a shark. An Irishnan, holding the end of a line between his teeth, undertook to swim to the ship He sank with the same precipitancy as young Burgess. A Russian met similar fate, and another sailor, too weak and ex- hausted to hold on to tine raft, was washed to his death.
 Henry Magnus and Oscar Linn, Swedes, were left alone on the raft. The sight of ravenous sharks that swarmed around warned them against attempting to swim to the wreck They broke pieces of plank from the top of the raft and rowed all night. They clambered aboard the hull at dawn. The parting of the rigging caused the ship to rise fan1SGoC sailormen found two casks of fresh water in good condition in the forecastle, and box of codfish. They lived for several weeks on this. The cargo then began to break up and float from the matches, and they helped themselves to the eatable part of it. After being thirty one days on the hulk they were picked up by the Lizzie Ferry. That did not end their hardships however, as the Lizzie Perry was wrecked twenty days later on the Barbadoes Islands. Everybody got ashore without in jury. The hapless Swedes sailed in the brig Mary Bartlett from Barbadoos to Cienfuegos, and may bo here next week if the Mary Bart lett has not been wrecked

A TRIUMPH OF ENGINEERING.
Opening of the Famous Merced Irrigatio,
 Canal.

Canal.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-The great Merces irrigation canal was formerly opened yester- day in the presence of Governor Waterman and many distinguished guests. The oratiou was delivered by the Hon. J. w. Breckinridtse The ceremonies took place five and h. 1; miles from the city of Merced, where the flood gate was opened, and Valley Mile-souare converted into a sheet of water named Lake Yosemite. The canal was begun five years ago by Charles Crocker, of railroad fame, and c. H. Huffman, wealthy whea, grower, and their sons It cost s1 500, GOO It is 27 miles long, 100 feet wide at the top 70 at the bottom, and 10 feet deep Ii will irrigate 30O,000 acres of the most fertile land in California It re ceives an inexhaustible supply of water from the Merced river, flowing through the Yosemite valley which is supplied by the eternal snows of the Sierras. At point two miles below the falls at Merced an immense dam raises the stream ten feet above its nor. nal level. The great engineering features ol the work are two tunnels, one 400 feet long, driven through the hill of solid rock, no sup ports being necessary; the other 5000 feet long, faced with timbers The dam across the small valley near Merced, con structed to form reservoir, is 4,OOO fee long, 275 feet wide, and 54 feet high The level of the reservoir is 90 feet above the ct -Merced. Water will be conveyed there il large pipes. Colonies will be settled alon; the line of the canal, which is by all odds the most important enterprise of similar charac- ter ever carried to successful termination ill California, if not in the United States
