A Fishing Schooner Run Down by
the Steamship Queen.
ONE MEN LOST.
The Catastrophe Occurred on the Banks
of Newfoundland on Oct. Her
Captain aud Three Others
Saved from the Wreck.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 1.-THE steamer Queen,
of the National line, while off the Banks OF
Newfoundland, on Oct 4, ran down the fish
ing schooner Madelaine.
The schooner sunk almost Immediately,
and twenty-one of her crew went down with
her. Her captain, two mates and the cook
were picked up by the Queen and brought TO
this city
The Madelaine was a French schooner and
hailed from Granville. Her crew consisted
of Capt. ID. Roulet, First Mate g. Jacques,
Second Mate c. Meniget, twenty-one sailors
and H. Salomon, the cook. Roulet, Jacques,
Meniget and Solomon are the names OF the
saved
The Queen arrived at quarantine at 10:30
o'clock in the morning and went at once to
her dock at the foot of West Houston street
The captain of the Madelaine was seen by
a reporter ON board the Queen soon after she
was docked. He said that his vessel sailed
from Granville eight months ago. They had
a very ,od fishing season along the banks OF
Newfoundland, and the night before the col
lision had weighed anchor and set sail for
Havre They expected to arrive there in two
months.
few minutes before o'clock on the
morning of last Thursday the Madelaine was
headed east-northeast and was sailing with
light breeze at the rate of three or four miles
an hour. The weather was very foggy and
they could only see short distance ahead.
''The first l knew about the steamer being
near was seeing her lights the captain con-
tinued The Queen seemed to be coming up
at full speed The next moment came the
crash. had not time to give a single direc-
tion The steamships iron bow struck the
Madelaine on the starboard side, directly
amidships, and cut her entirely in two.
Before we could lift hand to get the
boats the vessel had sunk The next thing
knew was that was struggling in the water.
Two boats were lowered from the Queen and
was taken aboard Twenty-one of the crew
perished. They were asleep in their hunks
at the time. Those on deck alone were
saved.
at was impossible for the Madelaine to
have avoided the collision, as the steamer
was going at great speed"
The passengers on the Queen felt the shock,
and many rushed on deck. There was quite
panic at first, but Fourth Mate Taylor re-
assured the passengers by telling them that
the steamer had only dropped her anchor.
The Queen was not damaged more than her
bow was dented and scraped
AT noon no report had been made at the
National Line companys Office, and they did
not know who was to blame. They presumed
that the collision took place during fog.
The Queens officers, they said, were tried
and true seamen, and they were assured that
the accident could not have occurred through
any carelessness on their part.
They expected, however, a full report soon.
A report would also be made to the British
consul.

American SeIfheIp.

The Sydney Telegraph, in noticing a
recent lecture by Major Dane, says;
sHe told good anecdote of deput@-
ton from 1000 workingmen, who asked
the Government, Christchurch being
the locus in quo, to give them work, but
not in the country, as they preferred the
CITY! Major Dane said they only needed
to cap that modest request with another
that the Government which found the
work would also do it Now in America,
the lecturer continued, there was one
great law for great and small--'Taks
care of yourself To men asking for
work there the Government would say,
If you can't do that, if you can't support
Yourself, go and dig hole in the earth
6ft by SIT and jump into it, and Well en-
gage to bury you decently.' That was the ne
Yankee way, where self-help had built
10000 miles of railway, l,25O, 900 miles
of wire communication, and had married

Chinese Lynch Law.

A Marysville, CAL, despatch OF August
1st says: The Chinese garden across
the Yuba river, few miles north OF
Marysville, has been the scene OF shock
ingly barbarous treatment of China
man, by some of his own countrymen,
within the past week. The victim was
found by a white man suspended in 3
shed by a rope passed under his shout
ders. He said he had been kept in that
position three days without food or
water. The white man interceded Tor
him with his captors and was informed
that the prisoner was thief who hao
been caught trying to steal from the
owners garden. The Chinese were told
that they must bring their captive to
town and deliver him to the authorities;
They lowered him to the ground and
promised to bring him in, but nothing
has since been seen of him. 1nvestiga-
ton is being made by the officers OF the
law. The victim was employed as
domestic on ranch in the neighbor-
hood. The Chinese captors are known
to have threatened to kill anybody
caught stealing from them.
