LOSS OF THE DANMARK.
No News Received Yet as to the Fate
of Those on Board.

OF Those on BoaFd.
NEW YORK, April 13.-The mails from
the White Star Line steamer Britannia,
which arrived last night, we're distributed
this morning, and among the letters was
one for Funch, E1ye & Co., contai1ing
list of the passengers who were on board the
abandoned steamer Daumark. The Britain
mic arrived at her dock at $50 o'clock last
night. but the letter for Funch, Edge q
Co.. was not ed till this morning.
No news concerning their fate has yet
been received, but the agents OF the
steamer, which is by this time probably on
the bed of the ocean. are hopeful that some
passing vessel may have taken off the pas
sengers and crew.
ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES.
In hoping for this good fortune they are
half expectant that it will have fallen to
the lot Of their own steamer, the Island, to
have performed such a good piece of work.
The Island left Christiansand March 30, and
is expected to arrive here at any moment (;
she was, in fact, looked for last evening but
up to an honr before noon to-day she had not
been sighted No other steamers have ar
rived with any news Of having fallen in
with drifting boats. This increases the
nope that some steamship mas renucTeu
timely assistance and taken the shipwrecked
passengers aud their boats all on board.
kilograms are arriving every hour at
both the Office Of the agents, Funch, Edye
q Co., on South William street, and at the
passenger agents office, No. Is State street,
asking for Information concerning friends
who were to be on the steamship.
ANXIOUS FRIENDS.
A great number of people, who by this
time had expected to greet their friends,
fingered around the door of the passenge or
office, alx,ou to nea" tidings and yet fear
full that the news that may reach them
may blast all hopes of ever seeing their
friends again. They scan the countenance
of ali VINO go in and on as ii they would
try and learl if they ha reason to hope.
CAPT. BONDS BELIEF.
LONDON, April 10 Cap Bond Of the
Inman line steamer City Of Chester, which
sighted the abandoned steamer Danmark,
believes that toe passengers and crew OF
the Daumark were rescued. He bases his
belief on the fact that the Dhnmark's boats
were gone. A chain cable was seen hang
ing over the bow of the Danmark, and this
leads Capt. Bond to believe that she had
been in tow Of another vessel.
L. has been definitely ascertained that
were 722 persons on board the DaImark.
This number included 628 passengers and
fifty-four officers and crew.

Pressl
BERLIN, April 13.-The North German
Gazette, in an article confirming the report
that only one war ship Of each power was to
be stationed at Apia during the Samoan
conference, states that the corvette Sophie
will remain at Samoa until the arrival Of
the Alexandrine in July. The emperor will
inspect the Alexandrine at Wilhelms-
Haven on Monday. The press comments on
the appointment Of Mr. Bates as a commits
sioner to the Samoan conference are un-
favorable apart from those of the govern
ment organs. The national papers point to
Mr.. Bates prejudice against the presence of
Germany in the Pacific as displayed toward
Germany's agent in Samoa during the dis
cussion of the difficulties in 1886. The press
grumblings against Mr. Bates will not,
however, affect the issues of the confer
ence. The new dangers that are confront
ing the Austro-German alliance will have
the greatest influence on Prince Bismarck
and tend TO bring about speedy settlement
of the dispute with America

-Confiicting Statements as to Which
One Started the Fight-Three New
Churches.
COLUMBUS. GA, April 3.-Columbus
had something of a sensation late this
afternoon. II seems that about two weeks
ago Policeman Cooley arrested Glenn Keys,
a well-known young man. This afternoon
while Keys was standing at Harry Daniels
corner Officer Cooley came along. and they
began to discuss the formers arrest. 1t is
hard to get an exact account Of what
occurred. Each side has its friends, and
there is wide conflict in the testimony.
Keys said Cooley threatened him with ar
rest again il he did not hush up, and finally
took him by the arm and jerked him out
in the street.
KEYS STATEMENT.
He says he pulled back because he had
done nothing for which he should have
been arrested, whereupon Cooley began to
club him over tho head. He claims the
policeman struck him three or four times
before he resisted. He then pulled his
knife and began to defend himself Cooley's
statement contradicts the above in its most
salient point. He claims that Keys cut him
before he used his club at all. The outside
testimony is just as conflicting, and it is
difficult to arrive at the truth in the
matter.
NATURE OF THEIR INJURIES.
Keys was dubbed on the head, and Cooley
received a cut in the back and another on
the arm. The cut in the back is regarded
as dangerous. The matter is being pretty
generally discussed tonight, and public
sentiment is greatly divided. Many say
that the police are too ready to use their
clubs, while others contend that in many
cases it is absolutely necessary. This case
will no doubt find its way Into court where
the true facts will be brought to light.
THREE NEW CHURCHES.
Rose Hill is to have three new churches.
The Methodists have already begun work,
and the plans for a new Episcopal church
hove been drawn. The latter church will
be donated to the congregation by Rhodes
Browne, and will be a handsome brick
structure The Baptists are also arranging
to build church.

afternoon and organized an art and literary

CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
A Big Verdict for Boy--A Heavy Fine
for Eugene Pacettt.

ATLANTA, GA, April 13.-Active and
successful efforts have been made by the
friends OF Eugene D. Pacett to induce the
governor to commute his sentence to fine,
so that he would not be compelled to work
out the twelve months on the Fulton county
chain-gang. Strong petitions were pre-
sented to the governor from Atlanta and
Savannah, indOrse1 by Judge Van Epps
and Solicitor O'Brien Of The city court. An
executive order was issued to-day permit
ting Pacetti to pay fine Of $3.50 and be
confined in Fulton county Jail till paid.
The fine being so large, it is doubtful If
Pacetti finds himself much better of.
WHY 1T is so HEAVY.
II is understood that in imposing the fine
the governor was influenced to great ex-
tent BY the heavy expense to the city court
officials Incurred in Baltimore, occasioned
by Pacettis resistance OF the Georgia requi-
sition. They paid out in Baltimore over
$500. When Pacetti heard of the commu-
tation and the 81 $50 fine he was far from
cheerful over it He says his friends could
have raised $780, but it is simply impossi-
bic to meet the fine fixed by the governor.
His friends here will make an effort to get
the governor to reduce the fine within
reach.
VERDICT FOR S13, $50 FOR A BOY.
In the city court to-day the jury gave a
verdict for 213, $50, to Willie Young in his
suit against the Western and Atlantic rail-
road for s25, 900. The plaintiff Is 10-year--
old boy. who was run over on the Lloyd
street crossing by Western and Atlantic
train and lost his right arm. In former
trial the jury gave him $4,000.

nation was recently requested by the Post

THE FIGURES.
The figures are as follows, in net tons ::
DECREASED CONSUMPTION.


The report says: lowing to reduced i'm
portations OF pig iron in 1883. the consump-
ton d pig iron in that year was over 100,-
900 tons less than in 1887. Our importation
of steel rails was also less in 1888 than in
1887. The shrinkage in our consumption Of
Bessemer steel rails in 1888 as compared
with 1887 was 700, 1873 gross tons. No
shrinkage in any branch Of our iron and
steel industries at all comparable with that
above shown in our production and con-
sumption of Bessemer steel rails has occurred
since the collection Of statistics of these in
dustries was undertaken.
CAUSE OF THE sHRINKAGE.
"1'he leading cause of this shrinkage was
the great decline in the building Of new
railroads in 1888, which was foreshndowed.
as already stated, in 1887. In 1855 we built
about 100 miles Of new road, whereas in
1887 we built l3,0S0 miles, The increased
production Of pig iron in the southern
states in 1883 over 1887 was 203 423 net TONS
The gain was chiefly ia Alabama, which
increased its production l54, i30 net tons
As late as 1865 the whole country made less
pig iron than the south made in 1888 The
increased production OF pig iron in Ohio in
1883 over 1887 was 12S, ,279 net tons. Penn
sylvana made 81, ,432 net tons less pig iron
in 1855 than in 1887.
DECREASE IN EXPORTS.
"One noticeable effect Of the low price of
iron and steel which prevailed in this coun-
try in 1888 was the very great decline in
our imports of most Of these products. The
imports of iron and steel in that year
amounted TO 9l4, ,745 tons against /, 1926
tons in 1887. Our imports Of iron ore in 1883
also greatly declined. The imports of iron
ore in that year amounted to 5S7 40
gross tons against 1,194,30l tons
In 1887. Our production of iron ore in 1883
was the largest in our history, amounting
TO about l2,050,000 gross { ms, agai st a
production in 1897 Of ABOUT IL 300. 900 tons.
As usual the Lake Superior region was in
1888 much in advance of all other regions
in the country in its production Of iron ore,
amounting to 5,023, ,279 gross tons, which
was the largest in its history.
