A SHIP ApRIFT IN A GALE.
What Became OF Her Storm m-Tossed
Crew Not Yet Known.


HALIFAX. Dec. 3L-The Allen Line
steamer HISTORIAN, Capt. France, after a
stormy passage OF twenty days from
Glas gov, arrived in port last evening. Her
captain reports the weather experienced as
something fearful. Gale upon gale Of hur-
ricane force was encountered up 10 longi-
tude 40 west. The ship being light, at
times it was almost impossible to make any
headway whatever. The seas were very
heavy and washed over the deck, from time
to time in very dangerous manner.
a VESSEL IN DISTRESS.
On Wednesday, the 18th inst, at $50
O'Clock in the morning, in latitude $40 15'
north, and longitude 2S'. IA west, large
vessel was sighted several miles to the
windward in disabled condition. She was
showing the code signals IN. C.", which
means 'in distress; want assistance" The
HISTORIAN ran down to her and. getting as
close as was safe, signsled back that she
would stand by her until the weather
moderated. 1t was then blowing a terrific
hurricane, with the sea running very high.
HER MAsTs BADLY BATTERED.
The disabled craft, which proved to be
the German ship Shakespear of Bremen,
Capt Muller, from Hamburg Oct. 20,
bound to New York, had her main and
mizzen masts gone. Her foremast and fore
topmast were standing, with the fore and
tarsail yards across. Her sails we're in rib
bons. The crew were al huddled together
aft, with oilskin jackets on. In answer to
a second signal from the steamer, asking If
they wanted TO leave their ship, they
answered yes" Thursday night the
steamer lay near the ship, the latter burn
ing hare-up lights at intervals. The last
light seen by the lookout on the HISTORIAN
was at A o'clock the next morning.
ALL TRACE OF THE SHIP LOST.
j AS soon as it was daylight on the 18th,
the steamer proceeded in the direction In
which the signal lights Of the ShakespeRT
had been seen during the night, but no
trace of her could be found. The HISTORIAN
steamed about In the vicinity for some
hours in the hopes Of picking up the crew,
thinking the snip might have gone down
during the night and the crew might have
taken to the Loats. Nothing of her was to
be seen, however, so the HISTORIAN pro
ceeded on her voyage.
sEEN FOUR DAYS LATER.
What became of the crow of the ship it is
hard to say at present. but the weekly mail
steamer Sardinia, which arrived yesterday
afternoon, passed close to the ShRkespear on
Dec, %, In latitude 54' 81 north, and
longitude 90 or west. Some Of her spars
were then standing, and she had apparently
been recently abandoned. Capt.
France states that the ships
hull appeared to be sound, the loss of the
sails and spars being the only thing ap-
parently the matter with her. A vessel that
could weather the storm which prevailed
that night the HISTORIAN stood blythe Shake
spear, he says, was worth sticking to and
getting into port. He think she would be
a valuable prize, ana well uorth picking
up.

POPE LEO'S ALLOCUTION.
THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT IS
SEVERELY ARRAIGNED.


He Reioices at the Building Of Uni
versities at Washington, Ottawa,
and Freiberg - Catholicism's Pros
perity Under the Laws OF the
American Constitution The Bruno
Demonstration.
ROME, Dec. SL.-The pope at yesterdays
consistory said he was rejoiced at the build
ing Of Catholic universities at Washington,
Ottawa, and Freiberg. Catholicism, he
said, prospered under the favorable laws of
the American constitution, and the men
who administered them in that country.
His JOY at this prosperity rendered thegrief
Italy caused him more striking by contrast.
The adversaries of the church persistently
continued their war against it, as was evil
dent by the recent utterances Of persons in
public positions and acquainted with the in
tentions regarding church rulers in Italy.
THE BRUNO DEMONSTRATION.
Among other recent insults to the church
was demonstration ia honor of Giardono
Bruno. The Italian government, seeking
to detach the people from the church, op-
posed the action OF the pope in every way.
His holiness referred to temporal power as
necessary to the independence and libersy
OF the pope In the exercise OF his mission,
and declared that he did not claim restora~
tion of temporal power from human mo-
tives. 1t was his right, and he was required
to preserve it intact and transmit it to his
successor as one Of his unalienable treasures
of Christian faith.
THE NEW PENAL CODE.
The new Italian penal code which was
coming into operation also attacked the Just
liberty Of the clergy and hindered their
work with new obs lacleS An additional
wound was about to be inflicted upon the
church by the law regarding charitable
trusts which had recently been enacted with
unseemly haste. This was a fresh step in
the endeavor TO efface every vestige Of re-
ligion from civil institutions. By this law
all pious establishments were to be sup
pressed or transformed, especially those for
the lowering Of girls without portions,
those regarding girls entering converts, aud
those by which it was provided that masses
should be said for the souls of the dead.
WISHES OF THE FOUNDERS,
This law violated the wishes of the found
ers OF all those charities. Priests were ex-
cluded from the benefits Of charitable
institutions, and women were admitted to
such benefits. 1t was argued that charity
should be secular in order that 1t might be
more acceptable. But, indeed, the unfort--
unates are too proud sometimes to accept
Christian charity; and outside the church
there Is no true charity. Other blows
also have been leveed at the
church by invasions of the civil
power forcing itself into sacred things. For
time all these things might embarrass the
church, but they can never definitely
change its course.
The RifoTmG says the violence of the
Language in the pope's allocution will not
prevent Italy from being governed ia har-
mony with the necessities of progress and
the aspirations Of her people.

MIR; Macbeth-My individual opinion is
that doubt it. ILaughterl
DON'T WANr EREr pLAur nllrrnrIrr

| DON'T WANT FREE RAW MATERIALS
James Glliander of Philadelphia said that
lamp chImneYs largely used in this country
were manufactured here, and we're sold for
less tnan the imported chimnevs The i'm
ported chimney was used principally on
special lamps, and was bought by people of
means. be did not agree with Mr.
Macoeth tnat the workingmsn Of Germany
were less efficient than those in the United
States in the industry which he
represented. He did not want free raw
material IN the glass industry. Every
article which needed protection should be
protected, but the glass manufacturer
soould not be compelled to pay q higher
outy on his raw material than was imposed
on the finished article. He advocated an
increase OF the duty of various grades of
glass. Ii his raw material as well as the
| nnished article was admitted free he could
| not pay his workmen the present wages and
compete with foreign goods.
LABoR's IMPORTANT PART,
William 3. Smith. a manufacturer Of
green and plate bottles at Alton, ILL.,, said
that from 80 to IS per cent. of the finished
product was represented by labor. In re-
| gard to the question of the comparative
enlclency OF German and American work
lngmen, MIR. Smith said that the former
were more careful, and therefore slower.
The United States had the finest workmen
IN the world, but American push and the
| extra aggressiveness of the American work
man were shown IN his work. Therefore. at
| times. quality was sacrificed to speed.
William J. Smith of Pittsburg, president
OF the Flint Glassblowers Union, contro-
yerted the statement made by Mr.. Macbeth,
| that Of forty-fcur hours a week which the
blowers worked nine hours was waste time.
he denied other statements made by Mr..
Macbeth, and he declared that while he was
an American, and an American workman.
he was forced TO admit that some of the
chimneys brought from foreign countries
were not inferior to those produced in the
United States.
Wash Harrington, representing the Green
Glass Blowers Association, declared that a
protective tariff was necessary to keep the
wages OF blowers up to their present
standard.
CAN BEAT Us ON CUT GLASS.
ID. c. Ripley Of Pittsburg, president of
the American Flint and Lime Glass Associ-
alton, advocated a protective duty on cut
glass. He presented several specimens of
Belgian glass, and averred that they could
be laid down here at a less price than they
could be merely cut for in this country.
G b. King, representing the Crystal
Plate Glass Company OF st. Louis, favored
the retention of the present duty on pressed
glass. He only wished that a provision
should be inserted in the law TO make it
more explicit.
The committee then adjourned until
Thursday, when representatives of the wool
industry will be heard.

sented to forego the punch, and the only

EXECUTIONS BY ELECTRICITY.
Successful Tests Made on Horse and
a Calf at Auburn.

AUBURN, N. Y, Dec. 3l.-The special
commission appointed to test the efficiency
of the electrical machines which Harold p.
Brown has sold to the state to be used in
putting murderers to death, arrived in this
city at o'clock this morning. The COM
mission Is composed of DR.. G. II. Carlos, +.
Mcdonald of the state lunacy commission,
Dr. A. B. Rockwell of New York, a great
authority upon electricity as applied in the
science OF medicine; and Prof LandyIof the
achool of miaes of Columbia college, an ex-
pert upon electrical measurements These
gentlemen were accompanied by Harold P.
Brown, General Austin Lathrop, superin-
tendent OF state prisons, and DIR. Fell Of
Buffalo.
TRYING IT. ON ANIMALS.
The commission desired to test the ma
chine upon animals, and an old horse and
four-weeks-old calf were procured and
taken into the prison. Reporters were not
allowed TO witness the tests, aud this evening
Mr. Mcdonald announced that the calf and
the horse had been put to death with a sud-
denness that was highly gratifying to the
commission. A current of about 1000 volts
was used The horse was killed first. The
wires were attached to his head and to one
OF his hind feet just below the gambrel
Joint. he was instantly killed, the time of
contact being less than half a minute.
NO EVIDENCE OF SUFFERING.
The horse made no struggle, and there
was no evidence that he suffered. In the
experiment on the calf the time of contact
was less than ten seconds. AS soon as the
calf fell over and the current W shut off DIR.
