THE MISSING CLIPPER.

Discovery of the crock Terrace" on the
Shore of One of the Gilbert Islands.
Information has reached Philadelphia
that the long missed clipper ship, Rock
Terrace which was supposed to have
gone down year ago while bound to
Japan, had drifted into the Gilbert group
of islands in & sound condition and
with only few inches of water In her
hold. The Rock Terrace sailed from
the Standard Oil Works at Point Breeze
on September %, 1887, for Hiogo, Japan,
under contract with the China and
Japan Trading Company, of New York.
O'Brien & Sneden, of Philadelphia,
cleared the vessel and her cargo, con-
sisting of $4,000 gallons of refined
oil and 250 tons of phosphate
lime, valued at $125,O00. When
near the PHILIPPINE Islands, on her
run to Hiogo, Capt. Atkinson, for some
unexplained reason, but it is thought
through trouble with his crew, left his
vessel and landed en- an island near
which the vessel happened to be pass
ing and left her to her fate. Nothing
more was heard of the abandoned craft
until she was sighted off the Gilbert
islands.
When the German steamship Eboe
WAS searchingfor an island on which to
land Malietoa, the exiled Samoan king
who was put ashore at Jaliut Island of
the Marshall group, the Rock Terrace
was passed under easy sail which had
been set by her DESERVING crew months
before, but the German commander,
thinking her all right, paid no
further attention to her until on
his return when he saw her stranded
on the outlying coral reefs of the
Tarawa islands, one of the Gilbert
group. The natives succeeded in get
ting out almost the entire cargo, which
80 lightened the vessel that she worked
further upon the reefs and broke to
pieces. United States Vice-Consul
Blackjack, at Apia, Samoa, has been
authorized to send an agent to look
after the cargo.
Nothing is known Of what became of
the crew, but it is supposed they reach
ed the PHILIPPINE Islands in sa ETY. and
reshipped. Capt. Atkinson is said to
be living in seclusion in Nova Scotia.
The Rock Terrace was built at Port
land, n. B., in 1875, and registered l,7OO

SCALDED TO DEATH.
Four Chinese Laundrymen Lose Their
Lives in . boiling &,eYser.


News was received at Cheyenne,
Wyo.. on the Sd, OF most singular ia
tally, py wifi n four Cinnamon lost
their lives. They were in Canyon City,
near the Yellowstone Park, and Yet
Sing had established wash
house in tent directly over
a boiling spring. He had hot wa

business in the new mining town. He
and the three other Mongolians who
came from adjoining camps celebrated
the Chinese New Year. They burned
fire crackers and offerings to Joss, and
wound up by getting drunk. Yet Sing
had been cautioned about the boiling
spring and told that it might be a slum-
boring geyser. For this reason his wash
tubs were kept on the other side of the
tent so that no soap might disturb the
quiet of the boiling water. No one
knows just how Yet Sings box
of laundry soap got overturned
into the boiling spring, and it is more
than probable that some mischievous
miner emptied tae soap into the slum-
bering geyser. That night there was a
sudden spouting of boiling water, tent
flying through the air and some pierre
ing yells The miners rushed up and
found the geyser pouring water to the
height of over hundred feet. The
bodies Of the four Cinnamon scalded to
death were found later at some distance
from the scene. The geyser spouted for
three hours and then subsidized.

The Decision in the Famous Breach of

The general term of the New York

Judge Macomber, in his opinion, says:
There are many things in this case
which show revengeful or wanton

tied in finding that the failure of
the defendant to carry out the
contract was done In such wanton disre-

to justify them in giving exemplary

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 31.-Com-
mander r. P. Leary, of the United
States steamship Adams, which rived
here from Samoa via Honolulu yester-
day, makes an interesting report on af-
fairs in the island. "There was great
deal of connection when I was at A pia,"
he said to-day. II went down there
with all kinds of orders suited to a
time of peace, but when war broke out
l threw the orders to the wind. They
would do in time of peace, but
were not applicable to the condition of
affairs then. When saw Brandeis, the
German minister, leading 500 natives in
support of Tamasese wrote him let
ter asking him to desist. I said: lam
here to protect American citizens
and American property and I
will not wait idly by and
see you plunging the country into
trouble, when their lives and property
may be destroyed. If you do not de-
slst shall take such measures to pro-
tect them as l deem the circumstances
demand He sent word back that no
Americans nor American property
though, much the same tactics were re-
peated.
"There was meeting of consuls
aboard the German warship Adler and
at the meeting stated to the Germans:
Now just let the natives fight it out be-
tween themselves No, they couldn't
do that; they said that they had pro-
claimed Tamasese king and they
couldn't leave him now to fight
it out alone. Then I said I would
take a hand in this. If you
persist in aiding Tamasese and fighting
for him, will participate and I pulled
the Adams in ahead of the Adler and
would have done my part in the fray if
the Germans had decided they must
have it. had made up my mind that
the Adams could throw some shells too.
At this they eased down and promised
that it should be hands off,
Next there were notices posted by
the Germans stating that the bridge
over the river at Apia and separating
all the back country where the natives
were, would be taken up. / tore these
notices off. / said there would be no
demolition of bridges. Then I ordered
my carpenters the next morning and
meantime word having got out all around.
scores Of natives came to aid in
repairing and maintaining the bridge.

protect it. It is not necessary to say
that the bridge was not destroyed. The

not present during the recent battle
between the Germans and Mataafa's
forces"

Two Brothers, lying at the Allegheny
wharf at the foot CT Eleventh

O'Clock this afternoon, completely
demolisning the vessel and badly
wrecking the towboat Return, which

not known. The boats were owned by
Hulings Bros. and were engaged prin-
cipally in harbor towing. They were

Visit From the Whitecaps.
It looks very much as though there
might be "Whitecap" organization in
indianapolis, Notwithstanding Gov.
Gray said in his message recentlv
that they had been crushed
out of Indiana. Patrick O'Neil, an
employee in leading pork-house,
lives at 55 Agnes Street. He has wife
and five children, and also habit of
getting drunk and beating his wife. On
the 9th he got drunken than usual, and
coming home in the evening, drove his
wife and children out into the street
unprotected from the cold and snow.
Then he pJpceeded t. demolish the fur
niture. Here is the remainder of the
story as told by neighbor: "About 10
o'clock crowd of men numbering ten
or fifteen, congregated in front of
O'NeiPs house. The leader was
woman or a man in wo-
mans clothing. She had
bundle of whips and switches, which she
distributed to the crowd. A rush was
made into the house and O'Neil dragged
out and given twenty-five lashes. When
this was done, the woman ordered that
he be rolled in the snow, and this was
done to nicely. The crowd then left
with warning that if he abused his
family again that he would be visited
again and receive double DOSE" None
OF the Eeighbors would admit seeing
the outrage, but all knew it was time"

The prison officials, considering

where restraint would be impossible.
Mr.. Balfour did not reply and Mr.. Sex
ton sent messenger to the vice-regal
