BLooDsHED LOOKED FOR
Before the newfoundland Fishery Ques
tion II settled.

Before the newfoundland Fishery Cues
tion II settled.
HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 20. Monsigneur
Howley, perfect apostolic of the west
coast of Newfoundland, publishes a SEN
sational lotter predicting that the CON
dition of affairs over the French shore
and Newfoundland fishery questions
will lAevstally result in war. The peo-
pie Ct the French shore are desperate
over the postp)nement of settlement
Of their intolerable difficulties and will,
he is cfraid, take every means in their
power to toprecipitate a crisis.
The monseigneur describes the critical
state OF affairs, and says that, notwith-
standing the large naval force main
tanned BY England in those waters TO
prevent trouble, the occasions for con-
fict between French and British fish
ermen occur daily during the season at
scores OF places along the coast, and in
spite of the vigilance of warships, the
Newfoundlarder will find means to
commit some fatal act, which will
either TO ce England to fight or abandon
Newfoundland The monseigneur adds
that it is useless for England TO
say she went fight over few
goldfish while she is creating
set of circumstances which must neces-
sarily force her into war or dishonor.
The proposition to cede Burlin to France
cannot be entertained for a moment.
Newfoundland might just as well be
asked to cut out her heart and give it to
France Mr.. Howley declares that the
modus viyendi has only served to in
tensify the strained condition Of affairs;
to intiict enormous losses ON Newfound-
land fisherman. and vastly increase the
probabilities of bioodshed between the
rival fishermen.

A FLOATING FORT.
Its Construction Recommended by Seere-
tarv Tracv-no We Nead I'm, .

Its Construction Recommended by Secre-
tary Tracy-Do We Need EN-?
CINCINNATI, Dec. 30 The Post says:
Secretary Tracy has recommended
the immediate construction Of coast
defense vessel which will be floating
fort, with twenty-inch thick nickel steel
armor, and four turrets armed with
fourteen-inch riAed guns. He will ask
congI ess to approve of its construction
and authorize more of the same sort
1t is more than questionable If any
necessity will ever arise for the use Of
such vessels. No nation of Europe,
while there remains a power to be ball
anced in Europe, will jeepardize her
very existence by attacking the United
States, armed or unarmed.
We have no neighboring interests to
conflict with any, save England, and
we have even now cruisers eaougtf to
so threaten her carrying trade, as to
force her to employ nearly all her navy
in guarding her merchant marine, or If
not her whole navy could not prevent
the rapid construction of vessels within
our inland waters But then, while
Europe is armed to the teeth, we
should, perhaps, betimes make provi-
sion against remote possibility that
we may have ourselves a merchant ma
rine to protect.

Now Building in Detroit of Which Great

Things Are Expected.
DETROIT, Dec. 29.-The Detroit Boat
company is constructing a submarine
craft, of which great things are expect
ed. The vessel is 40 feet long, . feet
beam and "A feet depth of hold
The mechanism is somewhat similar
to that of the Submarine torpedo boat.
Electric storage batteries will be used
for storing oxygen, giving light and
furnishing the motive power. The inn
provement over the torpedo boat is
claimed in the buoyancy of the craft,
which will come to the surface as soon
as the electric motor is stopped, where
as the machinery of the torpedo boat
must be working to bring it to the sur
face of the water. Besides a screw
wheel at the stern there will be two
wheels on either side of the new craft.
Turning an electric switch will cause
the boat to rise or plunge deeper in the
water. 1t is being built as pleasure
craft, but if it proves successful the
government will be requested to consid-
er its adoption as a torpedo boat.

From the scene OF the Indian Troubles.
May Be About Over.

May Be About Over.
OMAHA, Dec. 30. A dispatch from
Rapid City, S. Dak., Friday night said:
Gen, Miles, who has been waiting for
several days past to hear the result Of
the friendly mission of the Pine Ridge
Indians to The hostile camps in the Bad
Lands, to-day received word from Gen.
Brooke that cOuriers in from his emissa-
ries reported the hostiles ready and
about to comesin. Several small parties
are already moving in to the agency
and the balky Indians are expected there
within day or two.
Another dispatch from Rapid City,
dated Dec. 81, says:
Things which few days ago, under
the policy of Gen. Brooke, tended to
cessation of all hostilities are to-day
just the reverse. Late last night Gen.
Carr received a telegram from Col.
Sumner that the Indians from Humps
and Big Foot's camp whom he was
supposed to have held as prisoners, had
escaped and were heading for the Bad
Lands.
AT daylight Gen. Carr and six troops
pulled out from here to intercept them
or capture and destroy them. but so far
no word has been received from the gen-
eral The Indians are still carrying on
their depredations as usual and are
growing much bolder, having stolen
three valuable horses and ten head Of
stock out Of corral last night at the
ranch of Mr.. Barns, situated only ten
miles from this camp ON the Cheyenne
river.
Confident That IL is Over.
A dispatch from Pine Ridge says that
one batillion Of the Seventh cavalry
with two Hotchkiss guns and pack
train has just left for Wounded Knee,
about thirty miles away. The Indian
council in the Bad Lands has decided in
favor of the hostiles returning to the
agency. They are now all on their
way in
Perhaps 100 or 200 may slip away, but
the authorities feel that the Indian war
has been ended. AT least they express
great satisff etion at the news brought
by the couriers who arrived about 3
o'clock. There is still danger Of trouble
in case an attempt is made to disarm
the hostiles. Unless this is done all the
Indians viii be at their agencies within
three or four days

Crew of One Vessel and Portion of An
other Saved--Three Sailors Drowned.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. 29-The
three-masted schooner Bill Stowe, of
Boston, Dill Master, loaded with paving
stone for New York, came ashore three
quarters of mile north Of Narragansett
pier, Friday noon, in the northwest
snow storm, with wind sixty miles an
hour. The vessel struck 1000 feet off
shore and pounded in two. The life
saving crew shot line over her, and,
with the aid of residents, including ex-
Governor sprague, rescued the crew of
six men in the breeches buoy.
They were no sooner landed than
news of another schooner in distress
was received, and the crew loaded their
apparatus and plunged through drifted
snow three miles to Black Point. There
the three -masted schooner A. H. Hurl-
but, of Gloucester, Capt. Thurston, was
in peril. She had left Woods in the
morning and on hearing breakers had
hastily let go her anchors The captain
thought she could ride out the gale, but
at 4:25 o'clock the chains parted and
the vessel struck.
Within twenty minutes Of the time
the vessel took the ground every mast
had fallen and Capt. Thurston, Steward
Hammond and Seaman Lawrence were
knocked overheard by falling spars and
drowned Mate John Rooney jumped
overheard and was hauled out, and the
remainder of the crew was rescued by
the life savers. Both vessels will be
total wrecks. The patrol along the
beach was doubled to watch for other
