Off Highland Light.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass, Nov. 26.-A
terrible storm began at midnight and in
creased in violence, the wind at 2
p. m. reaching a velocity of 20 miles an
hour. accompanied by driving rain. The
entire coast line was swept by the sea. and
no person could pass along the beach. Had
any vessel been driven ashore at high water
today it would have been almost impossible
for the life saving crew to render assistance.
A great sheet of foam extends three miles
seaward The breakers dash with a thun-
dering roar against the footcliffs. Four
south-bound and three north-bound schoon-
ers and Is sail of fishermen were off this point
at dark last night, and must have had a
dreadful experience, If they did not reach a
safe anchorage. 1t seems almost impossible
that they could live in such gale and sea.

An InvaIid's Escape from Fire.
LEWISTON, Nov. 26.-Mr. and Mrs. G. M.
Collins live in house on Sixth street, in the
Barker Mill district. Sunday evening they
were alone in the house. For several years
Mrs. Collins has been an invalid, and has
not been able to help herself in bed for
long time. Her lower limbs have been to a
certain degree paralyzed, and she has suf-
fered much. Saturday night, during the aw-
ful raging of the snow storm, and at about
O'Clock, MIR. Collins went out. A short time
after his leaving, the kerosene oil stove
either exploded or capsized, setting fire to
combustibles round about. The flames
spread quickly about the room, and Mrs.
Collins saw that she must either get out OF
stand chance of being burned before the
flames were discovered. She arose from the
bed and crawled on her hands and knees,
slowly and painfully, out of the house, and
then, on the outside, around it to that of
neighbor. By remarkable providence her
husband arrived on the scene about this
time. he smothered the flames and brought
back the then almost exhausted invalid
wife.

Awkward and Unpleasant-Thinks 1t
Looks Ugly.

Awkward and Unpleasant-Thinks 1t
Looks Ugly.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The Sc. James Ga
zette. commenting on President Cleveland's
message to congress, says:
Tho position is awkward and unpleasant for
both countries. The retaliation threatened Is so
Illogical and unreasonable that 1t Is difficult to
understand its precise cause and meaning. Two
plausible explanations occur. 1t may have been
intended to Influence votes, or merely to bluff
Canada into granting American demands There
is no doubt that the matter Is a serious one for
Canada. Not merely local affairs are concerned
but imperial interests are also involved. Eng
land must and will supply proper safeguards
for her Canadian interests. We must await the
next step 1t is difficult TO suppose that the
matter will be allowed to end otherwise than In
perfectly friendly manner.
A STRONG CASE.
The Globe says that President Cleveland
makes strong case against Canada, and
surmises that Canada will, doubtless, be
able TO show equally as good case. If the
Canadians had rejected the treaty, it says,
it would be easy to understand why Presi-
dent Cleveland should ask for retaliation
But it cannot understand why President
Cleveland, generally just man, should
punish Canadians for the act of an Ameri-
can senate. 1t asks If President Cleveland
has attempted to bid for the Irish vote
Inc Huu Muu GuzeCte SuSpen0d It's Opin-
ion upon the real significance of President
Clevelsnd's message, but says it looks ugly
The Star e. Z. O'Connor's paper says it
has no fear OF war over the matter, but is
of the opinion that serious friction is Ger
tain to result.
HAS DISHED THE REPUBLICANS.
LONDON, Aug. 25, A. M.-The Times,
commenting on the Presidents message,
says:
Nothing that party leaders may do on the eve
of presidential election can astonish US. Mild
curiosity is rather the attitude in which the
message should be received here and in
Canada. President Cleveland has dished
the republicans by mastery move
and may fairly be congratulated upon
his adroitness. With both parties anxious to
twist the lions tail, no doubt the bill will be
passed. It is lamentable that amicable rela-
tons between England and America
should be jeopardized with light
heart for the sake of an election doi2e
The only consolation is that few months may
bring another revolution OF the wheel Of fortune
and disclose President Cleveland or Gen. Harri-
son reverting TO the despised treaty.

free fish, but they do want their Canadian
trade cut off and their ports closed to that
paving traffic"
Representative Dunn, chairman of the
committee on merchant marine and fish
cries, said: at is an able, timely and pat
riotic action. The President had tried to
pre- erye and maintain the rights of the
citizens by peaceful means. The senate
having rejected the treaty without sug
costing a substitute, the President adopted
the only patriotic course open to him, and
1t viii meet with general approval"
GRASS AND STONES.
Representative Wilson of Minnesota,
who introduced the bill to give effect to the
Presidents suggestions, said: II like the
message. think the people of the country
will favor retaliation in a way that will
have the effect desired, if they favor retail
alton at all. The old fable of throwing
grass and stones will show what | mean.
Throwing grass don't count"
Mr.. Wilson took occasion to add that he
did not know of the Presidents intention
to send the message until it had been COM
pleted
That the interest taken in the Presidents
message is widespread and by no means
confined to those in political life at the
national capital, is evidenced by the fact
that kilograms have been pouring into tho
white house all the evening commanding
the President for the stand taken
by him. These kilograms are
from all parts of the union, aud
many of them are from we'll known bust
ness men. A large part of the signatures
are those of men of Irish birth. Over l25
kilograms have been received, and some of
them have half dozen signatures.

MENAsHA's EXPLOSION.
The Death List Cut Down to 14-Four
Fatally Injured.

MENAsHA, Wis Aug. 24.-Owing to the
excitement of the moment there were a
number of errors in the death list made up
yesterday from the explosion at the paper
mill. Fourteen persons were killed, three
or four fatally injured, twelve or thirteen
are suffering from broken limbs or serious
bruises. and good many others are bruised

Bon Aqua Springs, Tenn, was burned last

WOODEN MILLS BURNED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-rhe Cleveland
wooden mills at Cleveland, Tenn, were

RUNNING FROM FIRE.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.-The large four
story cotton mill owned by Sellers Hof-
man, located at Burmont, Delaware county,
i'll this state, was totally burned this after
noon. The flames broke out in the third
story and were started by all oyerheated

persons were ct work in the mill at
the time, and panic ensued
among the frightened employees, many
Of whom were thrown down and trampled
upon in their efforts to escape from the
flames, which spread with lightning like
rapidity There are no fire engines within
six miles of Burmont, and nothing could
be done to save property. A two-stoIy build
ing used rs a stock room and stall bic and
a four-story storehouse were also destroyed.

ment to supply lost ground. If the Presi-
dent had based his treaty on the principles
laid down in his message, there would have
been no difficulty about the treaty, and it
would have been ratified by unanimous
vote, because the message did assert the
rights of American citizens.
THE PRINCIPAL POINT.
The principal point made by the Presi-
dent had been whether the twenty
article of tie treaty had been ubrogated
by the notice given in 1850, and
BY the subsequent action of congress.
The Presidents arguments on that point
appeared plausible, but it seemed that the
conference committee on the retaliation
bill had taken a different view, but whether
that article was abrogated or not, the
power of the President under the existing
law was ample and full. The message OF the
President was a sign that he was willing to
stand with the senate in the position taken
by 1t. Mr.. Sherman proceeded to speak of
the discriminating tolls on the Canadian
canals, q d said that they ought not to be
submitted to; reciprocal rights ought to be
insisted on.
GOODS VIA PORTLAND.
The matter of sending goods through
Canada to Portland was a matter of i'm
portance and beneficial TO the people of
both countries, and if conducted fairly and
properly there could be no complaint about
it
The debate was closed by controversy
between Messrs Beck and Sherman about
the financial policy of the present admins
tration and great DEAL for which Mr..
Sherman was responsible, about the sinking
fund, tariff, trusts and other kindred sub
jects
Finally, Mr.. George took the floor and the
matter went over without action.
During the day Mr.. Morgan introduced
a bill identical in terms with that intro
duced in the house yesterday by Repre-
sentative Wilson to give effect to the Presi-
cents message on the treaty.
