 Kings Struggle With Ice.
 QUEBEC, May 1.-The Allan line steamer Parisian, which arrived here yesterday from Liverpool, narrowly escaped disaster off the Banks of Newfoundland. A heavy fog pre- vailed and the steamer was proceeding cau- tiously at the rate of six miles an hour, when forty yards ahead. The engines were imme- diately reversed, but the steamer ran on part of the iceberg to distance of about twelve feet.
 For time the huge ship shivered from the shock, and great excitement prevailed on board, panic being prevented only by the self-possession displayed by the officers.
 She lay on her broadside full minute, and Captain Ritchie ordered all hands on deck and the crew to stand by the boats. The vessel, however. soon settled back into clear water unipjured.
 Had the vessel been running at anything approximating her usual speed, nothing could have saved her from complete wreck and great loss of life.

She arrived in port with her fore compart- ment full of water. The damage, which | consists of the tearing away of several plates at the stern, is exposed as the vessel | unloads.
