the ship and killed. Many attempted to the remainder were deterred The commanding officer, Captain Schoon- maker, was washed overheard, about half hour after striking. His strength had been exhausted and he was unable to sustain ths shock of the heavy seas. He was surrounded by officers and men, and had been rescued several times, when q sea of unusual violence struck him and carried him and all near him overheard. The crew took refuge in the tops and rig ging, where they remained eight hours. The Trenton came down so gently on the Vandalia and was so expert in throwing lines that nearly all of the Vandalia's men escaped from the rigging to the Trenton's decks. In the morning the crew was sent ashore in boats, the sea having gone down.
 The Vandalia is a total loss. Her rail is awash and she is filling with sand. There is nothing standing except the fore mast. The safe has been brought ashore, but aside fl Iom that the articles recovered will be insignificant. The crew is at work
 doing every thing possible in the way of wrecking.
 In conclusion, Lieutenant Carfn says, the loss of the Vandalia was owing to the extreme violence of the gale, the great height of the seas, the extraordinary strength of the current, poor holding
 ground, and the unprotected condition of small harbor fringed with coral reefs and crowded with vessels.

A REGULAR RIOT.

The Minneap ,lls Street-Car Mems strike
 Develcpes Serious Riot in Which Driv-
 CTS. Policemen and Citizens Suffer-A
 Number of the Rioters Arrested
 MINNEAPoL IS, Minn., April 22-The street car strike was the cause of a riot here yesterday. The company started cars on the three lines they have been operating since last Wednesday as usual yesterday morning. Trouble was antici- pated in the southeastern portion of the city on the Riverside line, and according ly several squads of policemen were sent to that quarter, leaving only few police men ill tho downtown district. About noon a mob of from four to five thousand people, composed of men, women and children, mostly Scandinavians, attacked three cars on Washington avenue between Eleventh anl Twelfth ave- nu s, South, the district left unprotected by the massing of the police further down the line. Heavy trucks, lumber, stones, barrels, boxes, etc, were piled on the tracks, and when the cars arrived they were greeted by a perfect shower of stones from the mob. Drivers, conduc- tors, policemen and passengers all suf- fered alike. Two drivers and four pD- licemen were seriously injured, Mounted Officer Grafton having a rib broken. An additional squad of mounted police was sent to the spot from the Central station, and after a lively fight, during which the policemen made vigorous and indiscriminate use of their clubs, the mob was dispersed. No shots were fired. About thirty-hve moa were arrested. After this serious trouble, Chief of Police Bracket ordered the cars on all lines stopped for the day. The strik- CTS claim that not one of their members participated in yesterdays riot, and tn hat they heartily disapprove of such actions taken by their sympathizers.

Death or the New York Postmaster-His
 Rise from Obscurity to Distinction.
 NEW YORK, April 2l. - Pc stmaster Pearson died at the house of his father in-law, Ex- Postmaster General James, at Highwood, \. J., at 4;35 O. m. yester- day. Henry G. Pearson was born in New York. When a boy he became messen- ger in the post office. and by his atten- ton to duty and intelligent services lie rose gradually through the ranks of the department from the foot to the head. From d messenger he was promoted to a. clerk of the post-office, then to registry clerk, then heal clerk in the registry department, then chief clerk of the rail- way department, siperin tendent of mails and assistant postmaster, succeeding Judge Morgan. He was appointed Post master in 1881 by Garfield, succeeding Thomas l.. James, appointed Postmaster General. He was reappointed by Cleve- land in 1885. Mir. Pearson married daughter of General James. He has lived for years in the Gerlach flats, on West Twenty y-seventh street. Mir. Pear son was about forty-fve years of age. MT. Pearsons trouble had been of six months standing, and was caused, it is believed, by overwork and mental anxiety. His troubles during the last year in the post office, especial ly the constant worry he had with the letter carriers weighed heavily upon his mind. During an official service in the post office department of sixteen years he had only been absent from his post three months altogether, six weeks of which he spent in a trip to Europe in 1887. Mir. Pearson had become changed in appearance since his sickness assumed a serious form. The persistent hemorrh- ages have emaciated him, yet until lew days ago his family had hopes that the trouble would pass over.

The Start from Arkansas City.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, April 22.-The sky was cloudless and it was cool this morning. The crowd at the depot was larger than was expected. From the top of the dispatcher's office a photographer took the crowd. Four trains with ten coaches each stood about ready to start. Crowds of people wclked up and down on the tops of the cars. 1he moment the doors were thrown open the CsSs- were filled. The crowd followed the newspa- per men, hoping to find by them which train started first Fifty tents which were pitched about the depot were down before six o'clock. It is estimated that five thousand people were at the depot await ing transportation. The outfits at the depot were striking. One man with silk hat carried a hoe over his shoulder, to which was attached a bundle of clothing and box of chuck" Spades and axes were the most common equipments. v Be- fore the train started the town was almost deserted. There were ma.ny women among those to go to Guthrie.
 People walked to the end of the yards to get choice coaches. Danger seemed to have been lost sight of; many crawled under the cars until the police stopped them.
 It was just $40 a. m. when the first train pulled out. A shout from thou sand voices announced the fact. Tie press car was next to the engine and eight cars were attached. There were fully fifty persons in the press car; many had no credentials. Many freight trains have been supplied with seats to follow later. At the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad crossing, where a stop was necessary, people besieged the first train, but guards kept them off Just outside the city two daring men got on the air brakes under the press car.
 E. C. Heck was the conductor of the first train and Harry Livingston the engi- neer. At the speed at which the train started the train will reach Guthrie late. The wagon bridge across the Arkansas river was full of settlers wagons.
 Two men jumped on the cow-catcher, | but were put off.

Tho Shakespeare Jubilee. 17oe.

The house and gardens of Shake
speare at Stratford had been purchased
by a clergyman, who in an evil hour
gave orders that a mulberry tree
planted by the hand of the Sweet
Swan of Avon" himself should be cut
down. The Indignation of the in
habitants knew no bounds; the mis-
cradle culprit was compelled to quit
the town, and the corporation for
warded to Garrick in n box made of
the mulberry wood the freedom of the
borough. From this tree also, it may
be remarked in passing, Hogarth car
we'd a bust of the poet for the back of
the mahogany chair which he design
ed for Garrick as president of the
Shakespeare club. To tho compli-
mentary address of the Stratford cor
poration are we indebted for the
Shakespeare jubilee of September, 1863,
on the very spot where first the poet
learned to prattle of elves and fairies,
of wizards and witches, and of the
unseen wonders of neither and upper
worlds. An amphithestre in imfta-
ton of Ranelagh was erected on the
banks of the river, and during three
days amusements of every kind were
provided for the crowds who assem-
bled from all parts of the country,
and from London. The proceedings
were closed by an ode on Shake
speare, written and recited by Gar
rick.
On this occasion the success achiev-
ed provoked the naturally bitter spirit
