Terrible Loss of Life.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE British tor
pedo cruiser Serpent has foundered at a
point twenty miles north of Cape Finis-
terre. Out of a total of $50 souls on
board only three we're saved. The Ser
pent went on the rocks during a storm
Monday night. A heavy wind prevailed
at the time of the disaster. Owing to
the violence of the storm it was impossi.
BILE to send assistance from the shore.
Tremendous seas swept the decks of the
doomed vessel, carrying away group
after group of the unfortunate men on
board. The news of the wreck was con-
veyed to Corunna, a distance of sixty
miles, over mountain roads. The Ser
pent's complement was 40 officers and
men. The others ON board we're going
out to relieve men now on ship at an
African station.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
MADRID, Nov. 12.-An official telegram
from Corunna says the Serpent was
wrecked off Cape Buoy, near the village
of Camarinas. There were 276 persons
aboard, of whom only three we're saved.
The bodies of three ladies have been
washed ashore. The governor has Or
dered the authorities at Camarinas to
render every assistance in their power.
AN 1LL.MADE VESSEL.
LONDON, Nov. 12.-The Serpent was
built after the ideas of Admiral Cooper
Key, who insisted upon immense horse
power, which, according to previous 10
tions, was out of all proportion to her
displacement. She could maintain a
speed of IL knots an hour. Lord Bras
sey, in his Naval Annual, adversely criti-
cised the vessel. He said the economy
of weight had been carried to excess in
the construction of the ship, that her
plating was too thin and that her arma-
ment was overdone. In the seaway, he
said, her heavy top weight would be a
detriment to her speed and would undu-
ly STRAIN the hull. The vessel was 225
feet long, while she had a draught Of
only Az feet. The relatives of the crew
of the Serpent and the dock yard people
there are full of gossip about the lost
cruiser. It is claimed she was
unseaworthy and that she broke down
on all her trial trips. Commander Ross
is said to have been in the habit of treat
ing his men with undue severity. The
Serpent started last Saturday on her
maiden voyage. She was commissioned
for service in Africa last June, but was
detained by several mishaps to her ma
chinery. She and her consorts were
cordially disliked by the SER
vice.. The Serpent has a bad record.
She broke down more than once in the
maneuvers of 1883. Several admirals
condemned the whole class as crank.
The Lloyds agent at Corean telegraphs:
ut appears that the Serpent was running
for shelter in one of the bays north of
F%inesterre. 1t is not known whether she
foundered or grounded on the fearful
reefs that are a continuation Of the
Galician mountains. If she foundered,
nobody need be surprised but the ad.
miralty. If she grounded on the reefs,
she could not stand a minutes battering
in the heavy sea-"

Chicago to Liverpool.

NOV. C.-tau dAtoEuOOu
says: "Early in the coming session of
congress representatives of a syndicate
composed of Chicago, Montreal and Lon
don capitalists will present for consider
alton a gigantic scheme which, according
to the present plans, will place Chicago
and the northwest in direct connection
with the Atlantic seaboard by ean of
a ship railway, which is designed to con-
meet the lakes with the st. Lawrence
river and Atlantic cean. The scheme
will likewise be presented to the Cana
dian parliament and a subsidy for it's
construction and maintenance will be
asked of the government. The inaugu-
ration and completion of the scheme in
wolves the expenditure oA$12,O00,0OO, &C.
cording to estimates furnished to repre-
sentatives of the syndicate which has its
headquarters at Toronto and Montreal.
An United States official stationed at To-
ronto is understood to have just returned
from London, and the report comes
from Toronto that while in Lonlon he
acted for the syndicate and secured as
surances from English capitalists of their
cordial, moral and financial support.
The ship railway project is
the first great. step towards uniting the
commercial interests of the United States
and Canada. 1t is said to have been
originated by prominent Canadian bust
ness men and capitalists, who have al
ways advocated a union of tho CONNER
cial Interests of the two countries. Eras-
tus Wiman is represented as being one
of the leading movers in the scheme and
is listed for a pretty big slice of stock.
Three routes have been considered,
either one of which would reduce by at
least 400 miles the distance between Chi
cage and the Atlantic ocean and Liver
pool. The construction of q ship rail-
way, it has been demonstrated to the sat-
isfaction of the syndicate, would make
the time between Chicago and Liverpool
for a fast steamer only two days longer
than from New York to Liverpool. So
quietly have the plans been matured that
the first intimation of the project reaches
Chicago from Toronto with the state
ment that the franchise for the operation
of the syndicate on Canadian ground was
secured from the Dominion parliament
in such shape as to escape notice. It is
also stated that three rontes under con-
sideration have already been surveyed
and one of them favored by a majority
of the promoters of the enterprise. As
zeal as can be learned the most favored
ro,,ta ia m CONNECT the GoOrpian hay
with Lake Ontario by means Of a rail-
way, which is to be about sixty-six
miles long. The direct course is through
Lakes Michigan, Superior and Huron,
through Georgian bay to Lake Ontario
and thence to the st. Lawrence. The fran
chise obtained from the Dominion par
lament provides for a canal, but is word
ed SO that it can be used to construct
and maintain a ship railway instead. A
canal, it is estimated, would cost over
$$~33O,O00,OOO, while a ship railway does not
call for the expenditure of more then
$12,OOO,OOO.

Villas %

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 7.-O&cial returns
from the first district to-day show the
election of Clinton Babbitt, democrat,
over H. A. Casper, republican. This
leaves only one republican congressman
in Observation-Disclosures in the Eighth
district, who has about 1000 majority,
Bailey, the democratic candidate, threat
ems to make a contest. The republicans
suffer a net loss of SIX congressman, be-
sides the legislature, which will probably
elect ex-Secretary Villas to succeed Sena-
tor Spooner, although other candidates
are springing up. Peck, democrat, for
governor has a majority of about 10000.

PECK'S OPINION.

He Says h Defeat of the Bennett Law
Was the Will of the People.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-George W. Peck,
Wisconsin's newly elected governor, ar
rived in Chicago this morning. Peck de-
clared that the result of the election in
Wisconsin was no surprise to him. It
was in fact just what heiexpected. seThe
defeat of the Bennett law" he explained,
twas the will of the people, and as such
must be taken as final. The passage of
the law was all wrong and it will be re-
repealed" ,"Do you think a similar one
will be enacted?" II do not. Nothing
is needed to take it's place." In refer
ence to Senator Spooner, Peck said he
would in all likelihood be succeeded by
Col. William F. Villas. "Vilas is popu-
lar" he said, "and everybody likes him.
Still tire are always a good many candi-
dates for Office, and there will be no ex-
ception in this case."
