told that the Washhurns get their abil-
ity from their mother. whose name was
Patty Benjamin, and was very bright
woman. The family on the Washburn
side date back to John Washburn, who
was secretary of the Plymouth colony in
England, and there was one of this
mans descendants, the grandfather OF
the present senator, who served as a
captain in the Revolutionary war. The
present senator does not look at all like
the late Elihu b. Washburn. He has
the appearance of Presbyterian
preacher, and his sidewhiskers are of
severe and formal cut. He has face so
clean cut as to be almost classical. His
nose is large and on the Grecian order.
His eyes are blue, and his irOn-grey
hair is combel well up from high fore
head. He dresses in Statesman's black,
with frock coat, and wears standing
collar. He is man of ability, and will
make himself felt in the senate.

WASHINGTON, February 10.-Mr.
Segan, late Consul General at Samos,
talked freely today in regard to the pro-
pcsed Samoan conference at Berlin.
Among other things he said: Consider
the genesis Of the conference it is proposed
to renew. 1t was summoned by our S.cre-
tarv o. State: IL assembled at our capital
Oh the acknowledged basis OF On equality
of rights of these three treaty powers, OF
which we were the first. It's object was
the pressrvation Of Samoa, autonomy upon
which all our national and commercial in
terests in Samoa depend. While the con-
ference was yet uneoncuded, with
no notice 70 this Govern
ment. the German ships came to
Samoa and took posse ssiOns OF the lsianus
in violation of the understanding on
which the pending negotiations were pro-
ceedirg. If the conference Is 20 BE- re-
newed at all it should be renewed under
conditions as favorable 20 rs IS those
which attended lis initiation. The status
ante-confeeRdom should be restored and
Malietos, for whore deposition we are
morally responsible, should be returned
from exile, and it should meet here where
il was interrupted and where our rep
resent alive would be free from the pecu-
liar influences now at work st Berlin. Bat
were the suggestions of Mr. Bsyard IN ms

ditioas precedent to the Resembling ol

upon the conference with something o.

A FISHING VESSEL IN A STORM.
The Grew Compelled to Chop Ice From the
Vessel to Keep Her Aflost.

The Grew Compelled to Chop Ice From the
Vessel to Keep Her Aaost.
PORTLEED, February 9-The fshiBg
schooner Herbert NJ. Rogers of Gloucester
had terrible experience on Wedne. day
night in the storm off Thatcher's Light,
the crew being forced to chop all night at
the rapidly forming ice TO keep the schooner
aaoat. When they reached this port yes
terday the vessel and men plainly siowed
the effects of their fight for life in the
blizzlrd. Capt. Smith gives the follow
ing graphic description of the struggle:
"Night before last, when about fourteen
miles from Thatcher's, the schooner Was
struck by sudden storm. Very little
warning WIS given of its coming, and al
most before we knew that a storm was
upon US the main boom was gone aud the
great main sail was torn 10 pieces. The
storm rapidly grew worse. No snow fell,
bat the cold was intense, and the ice made
very rapidly. Within a short time after
The main sail was los. the deck was COW
e.ed with ics, and all that we could do was
20 cut 4Ol la l.g55. AZ tie les was gam

of a short time before the schOOn-
er would 20 under. To sleep

cooking, even to the making of a cup OF
coffee, was equally go. TIE deck was
macs Of ice, and wherever the water
touched, and that was everywhere on
board, there was ice. For tSo nights the
men kept at work. They managed TO get
a little half-frozen food. All we could do
wss to take what we could get, and keep
on cutting ice. After we made the Isles OF
Shoals the wind was even worse than be-
fore. The water was driven over the
schooner in masses, rather than spray.
Had the schooner went down not man
could have been saved, for the boats
we're masses of ice, aud in that
sea and that driving no atorm boat
could have lived ten minutes. When
daylight came yesterday morning. and to
the weary fishermen il bad been the long

astonished at what they saw. Not single

man could have tod what che was made

hoped TO keep her above water. BY this
time we were well under way for Portland,
aud last night were of this hsrbor and in
better water, but with the same necessity
for constant work. The cold was Intense,
and all the men suffered badly. John Mes

CORNER In PING SUEY
BUT HIGH TEAS ARE QUITE FASHIONABLE,
YOU KNOW.
0DOnohus & Sons Had Little Idle Money and 50
They Invested Half Million in the COmmO-
dity-Biggsst Transaction in That
Line Ever Known.

NEW YORK, February 10.-The biggest
transaction in tea ever recorded was con-
summated yesterday. For a month or six
weeks past Fearon, Low & Co, represent
ing q syndicate, have heen endeavoring TO
dispose OF an immense consignment of be-
tween 55, 900 and 10000 packages of Ping
Suey gunpowder tea. This was practically
all the tea of this kind in the country,
only few packages being in the hands OF
jobbers. There was very little demand for
the tea, and the fear was expressed that it
would become a 2lut on the market. Yes
terday Joseph J. O'Dcnohue & Sons bought
the whole lot for little over $500, 600.
No transaction approaching this in magni-
tude has ever been known in the tea world,
and little else wac talked about in lower
Wall street yesterday. Young Joseph
0'Dorohue, who engineered the deal, feels
very proud of his work.
In explaining the purchase, he said:
We have bought pract ically all the Ping
Suey there is in the world. There are now
only a few thousand packages that do not
not belong TO us. They ere in the hands
of small iObbers. About $50, 600 packages
of Ping Susy are used in the world each
year, and we own what ia left Of the last
crop. As general thing we have very lit
tie to do with tea, dealing entirely in cof-
fee. A week or SO ago, however, | was
coming down in the elevated, and one of
the gentlemen having control OF the lot OF
Ping Suey remarked that house like ours
ought to take hold of it. l told him we
would if we got it cheap. He named
price and we went and saw him. Now we
own the tea. We haven't bought it with
any idea Of cornering the market, and will
dispose of it fair profit if We can. We
had some money lying idle and thought it
j ust Us well to use hslf million as not. |
wouldn't like TO tell Just what We paid for
it a pound, but we got it cheap, very
cheap.
Ping Suey tea during the war used to
sell for 81. 10 p9und. For long time
after it was 10 active demand, and Ave
years ago its wholesale price wns from 60
10 IS csnts per pound. Lately, however,
it has been much cheaper and sales have
been recorded within the past few months
at from % to 80 cents f. Phelsn d |
Co. and Mcsely Bros. were interested with
Fearon, Low and Co. in selling the tea.
They acted merely as commission mer-
chants, and the loss, whatever it may be,
will fall upon the Chinese shippers. No
body in Wall street has any doubt that
Joseph ]. O'Donohue & Sons will be able |
to dispose OF the tea at big profit.

LONDON, February 10.-The London
newspapers afforded fanny reading this
week. One unauthorized scribe announced
that the Queen had been graciously pleased
to enact that ladies appearing at tine draw

or high dress at their pleasure. The news
papers let loose upon the country food
of iulsome editorials eulogizing Her Ma

up as a pattern 10 all other monarchs. The
mature matrons and dignifed doWagera
who have constantly TO attend State func-
tions blessed the change, and even the fair
debutsntes set down for presentation at the
drawing room to be held on the 26th inst +,
expressed their qualification at the pros
peot of being permitted 10 guard their
charms against the wintry blasts. The
doctors alore Sustained from joining in the
