A STATEMENT FROM THE AGENTS.
The following has been sent out from
New York;
To ne General Manager 9fhe Eev York At'ociated
DEAR SIR:-As some OF the comments
on tho reported loss OF the Danish
steamer Denmark express the apprehen-
sion that the disaster may have been ac-
companied by heavy loss Of life, we beg
leave to state for the benefit OF all per-
sons who have friends on board the ILL
fated boat, our belief to the contrary.
When cited by the City OF Chester on
Monday last, in latitude IS, 65, north
longitude 81, 10 west, the decks aft
and the sails were in pieces, but the
vessel was hoadng, aud although the
reporting steamer expressed the belief
that she would shortly founder, this did
not occur during all the tlmo that
elapsed from the time she was first sight
ed, The Denmark was floating directly
in the track OF the Trans. Atlantic stcam'
ers and we believe beyond peradventure
that the passengers and crew were taken
oil some time, possibly as far back as a
couple OF days before the City
OF Chester sighted the wreck, since
the Denmark, having left ChristRRsagd
on the 18th Of March, should
under ordinary circumstances have ad.
vanced considerably beyond the position
found in. II tho wrecked passengers
and crew had not been picked up they
would naturally, even II barked IN boats
and on RATS, have remained in the
neighborhood OF the wreck, the presence
OF which would be much more likely to
attract the passing gteRmers than small
boats or RATS would, Tho City OF Ches.
ter evidently did not find the slightest
wrcckage near the vessel such Us
might be attributable TO smashed or
otherwise inCapacitatel boats, We con-
ldently believe, therefore, that with the
possible exception OF single casualties,
such as may occur during the transfer OF
30 many people from one vessel TO an'
other, tho passengers and crow OF the
Denmark are safe anil will ere long be
heard ofas on board Of one of the Trans
Atlantic steamers.
Very respectfully,
FuSCH, EDYR & Co.,
General Agents Thingvalla Steamship

DHEHNSH OF RARNHLL.
Sir Charles Russell Concludes
His Great Speech,
RECESS BY THE COMMISSION.
Sir Charles Warmly Congratulated
by the Presiding Justice His
Plans for the Future Other
Interesting Foreign Notes.

LONDON, April 19,-Upon the opening
Of the session Of the Parnell Commission
this morning Sir Charles Russell resumed
and concluded his speech in defense Of
the PaFnellltes, He undertook to show
that the money Mr., Parnell gave Byrne
which the prosecution alleges was given
for the purpose Of enabling Byrne to es-
cape was meant by Mr.. Parnell to be
used for the ordinary purposes Of the
National League and that Mr.. Parnell
didn't know that Byrne was in peril Of
arrest The Court, Sir Charles said In
concluding his speech, was trying the
history yoi the Irish revolution. He ask.
ed that fair and generous consideration
be given 1t. II prosperity was returning
70 Ireland, thanks be to God, but af.
fairs were unhealthy In that country
where the people considered the I'M.
grisioned members Of the House Of
Commons heroes and martyrs. Sir
Charles declared that hu did not sneak
merely az the advocate OF the accused
members Of the House OF Commons, but
for the land Of his birth, and he believed,
In the vast interests Of England. The
inquiry which was intended to be
curse had been a blessing, II had been
designed for the purpose OF running one
man, but had proved the means Of his
vindiCatlon.
There was o sensation in the court
room when Sir Charles concluded his
speech. II Is the general opinion OF his
hearers that he never spoke better.
When Sir Charles had finished Presiding
Justice Hammer passed a note to him in
which he said: II congratulate you,
Your speech was q great one and worthy
oi great occasion"
When the Parnell Commission opens
again, after the Easter holidays, twill
be found that's Charles Russell has got
the defense in most excellent shape.
The testimony Of Mr.. Parnell, which
will be taken first, will be OF immense
value TO the case, and after that probably
for the next six months the reading pub
lie will have before them an almost In
terlninable vista Of Witnesses from all
parts Of the world and from ali ranks Of
life. A whole nation has been put on It's
defense by the action OF tho TmeS In It's
conduct Of tho prosecution, and Sir
Charles has seized upon the opportunity
thus afforded by pleading Irelands
cause before the whole world. He will
call cloud OF witnesses and has the
privilege Of passing all Ireland through
tho witness box II he chooses. That he
will avail himself in a large measure OF
this opportunity Is certain. Under his
skillful handling the best posslblepoints
will be brought out, and his magnificent
speech has outlined the course he will
pursue in this respect. The ArChbish-
ops OF Dublin and Cashel will be among
the witnesses who will testify for tho
defense.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aprll2,-Assist'
ant Secretary Bussey to-day rendered
an important pension decision in
the case Of Nancy Brooks, mother
OF Isaac S. Brooks, late private company
H, Sixth Ohio Volunteers, While the
soldier was bathing in Wheeling creek,
near West Virginia, July B, 1855, he
was drowned. ThesappllCaHon was re-
jected on the groundthat the death Of the
soldier had no direct connection with his
military duty. The Assistant Secretary
says; ! am OF the opinion that the sol.
dier was acting in accordance with and
In furthcrance Of the regulations OF the
service, and the orders Of bis superior
officers requiring him 70 keep
himself in a CleRnly condition and
the season OF the year rendered
bathing in the creek most natural,

appears therefore that the soldier mt.

tion and rushed at full speed
into the crowd with clubs drawn. Once
In the centre OF the crowd they arrested

ting very violent. 10 make matters
worse a number Of express wagons hlled
with strikers drove in front Of the cars

AT 4:2S another car made It's appear.
ance on Washington avenue from the
barn. The mounted police made way
for II through tho crowd, and It finally
reached tho turn table. On Its way back
the car was bloCkaded by two wood
carts. The crowd hooted and yelled
and then the car struck. Finally the
driver became disgustea, and unhltChing
his horses drove oil. ythis time there
were two "stalled cars" on the avenue
and huge crowd. The situation was
getting serious. The police arrested an.
other man and took him OF to tho
station, There had been a great deal Of
rotten egg and stone throwing, and ex-
element ran at fever heat,
Three mounted policemen lost their
heads and charged upon tho crowd,

Tho AmalEamatOd Scale.

PlrTsDuRen, April 12.-Much interest
is at present being manifested in the
formation Of the Amalgamated scale this
year. The Association is in favor OF
continuing the present scale but the
manufacturers appear to want a re.
duCtion, giving rs reason therefore
that there is no money in the manu-
facture Of iron, while the present rate OF
wages Is paid. The convention does not
take place till June, but suggestions are
daily coming in from all the lodges Of
the Amalgamated Association and as iar
as can be learned all the workers want

against tue Warden Of o Connecticut
Eris0n, Where MGrdGrsrs Thrive.
HARTFORD, Conn., April l9,-There
have been rumors OF serious trouble at
the State prison for several months, but
the officers have been so closo.mouthed
that na iGptg could be obtained,
On Saturday some fresh rumors got
into print, and the State Board OF Chari.
ties has Just made an investigation.
They learned that last summer, the War
den, General Chamberlain, made insult
ing remarks to the matron in the wo.
mans department. She reported the
facts to her brother.in.law, Judge Car
penter, OF tho Supreme Court and also
to Prof. Francis Wayland, Of New Haven.
No action was taken until this invGsli-
CATION. 1t Is thought that the facts will
now come out and Chamberlain be re.
moved.
Chamberlain was appointed five years
ago, for iour.year term, but has held
over without reappointment. During
his term there have been many escapes
OF prisoners and a notorious lack OF dis.
Cipline. Men serving long sentences,
aid even murderers in prison for life,
have been allowed the greateat liberty
and have walked the streets OF Weth.
ersAeld as free asthough they had never
been sentenced. Abbott, tho Water.
bury murderer, is an instance OF this
disregard OF law and order. He Is sup.
posed TO DO kept In close confinement,
but the fact is that he roams all over
Wethersfeld and Is allowed 10 take a
BOAT apd cross the river to dig flag root
and such things in the meadows. II Is
q common report in Wethersleld that
Abbott has spent much time at houses
in the neighborhood, and has been
taken back to the prison drunk.
These things have been more or less
talked about, but the directors have still
had confidence in Chamberlain, and
only one refused to sign the last annual
report. General Chamberlain G came here
from Massachusetts,, where he had been
warden Of prison and been Obliged to
resign. Fills Ease was investigated, aud

Trade Situation,


Trade Situation.
New York, April 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: There
are distinct signs Of ofimprovemont in bus.
iness, Reports from interior points at
most, without exception, indicate IN en-
largcment Of trade. Rapid advances in
sugar, coffee, cotton, butter and oats are
nearly balanced by the decline in wheat
and corn, pork products, print cloths,
leather, and other articles, 80 that tho
general average OF prices Is but shade
higher than q week ago.
The most significant feature Of the
weeks commercial news Is the report OF
furnaces in blast April |, which shows a
weekly output Of anthracite and In BIZ
luminous iron only $50 tons less than
March |, and nearly $1,000 tons, or 80
per cent larger than a year ago. The
81 ignifCant fact Is that, with produce
tion up to.the largest ever known, prices
scarcely yield at all. These facts, In
connection with the narrow demand for
rails, indicate that the consumption Of
iron In other forms must be increasing.
The demand for sheet iron Is fair and
rails are firm at S27 10 S27 80, though
sales are but 10000 tons, Nails are
firmer, and bar iron iB still Irregular
and low. Pig iron Is rather weaker, and
some southern ig offered below Sl7, for
No. !, while mill iron ranges from $I4 rs
TO SIS 50.
The sharp advance OF 32 cents per 100
pounds In raw sugar with the purchase
Of the San Francisco refinery for Tho
trust, accompany a sudden rise Of O
cents In the trust 9 stock. The boot and
shoe trade 10 said 10 DO large beyond

WHY NAILS ARE DULL.

OvorproduCtion aud tho Wire Nall Not
All to Dlame.
An old and practical nail man talking
yesterday to an INTELIoEScER reporter
concerning the present dullness of the
cut nail trade, declared that overpro.
duction and the competition OF the wire
nail are not so much to blame as many
people think. "The real cause ot
the present depression" said he, "is
that the manufacturers have at last got
an association that seems disposed to
stick together. The situation Is Just
like this; Nails have been exceedingly
low, and in addition to large purchases
made by lobbers last fall on speculation,
outside parties bought thousands OF
kegs, Just rs they buy wheat, pork
or oil, on speculation. Then
when the freights were way
down, the West was flooded with nails.
Why, often our mill worked TIL il
o'clock at night, and shipped nails hot.
Now there 70 disposition to keep up
prices. Jobbers are holding of. There
are still nails stored In the West, Until
they cannot help 1t, buyers will not
order nails from the factories, Hereto,
fore they haye bought nails at their own
pFices, aud they expect by holding of to
10 so now. Bnt Il the manufacturers
stick, In sixty days from now the nail
business will be booming at the AssoCis-
tion's card prices. This Is going to be
an unprecedented building season, and
you mark my prophesy-the nail mills
will be pushed with orders before long"
