IN A STORM OFF CAPE HORN
Thrilling Experience of Pacific Mail
Steamship.


PANAMA, Feb. 3.-The Pacific mail steam
ship Newport encountered terrific storm
on her trip from New York. She should
have reached Colon on Jan. II. About
sixty miles north of the cape, and while on
the northerly edge Of the gulf stream. the
full force of a gale from tae south south
east, was met, which caused the ship 10 roll
aud toss about in most uncomfortable and
dangerous way on the heavy seas. Great
green masses OF water tumbled in over her
bows and swept her decks from stem to
stern.
DOWN TIE COMPANION WAY.
Down through the companion way it
went, flooding the rooms aud Frightening
the passengers, who were finally battened
under, SO to speak, to ensure their greater
comfort, and further provide for their
safety. The captains room was swept by
the sea, the door being smashed In as
though it we're no thicker than q single,
and the deck houses were in danger Of being
swept away. The sea was 50 high, aud
broke SO high that it was impossible for the
officer TO keep his place on the bridge. The
starboard light box was smashed, and the
light put out.
A LIFEBoAT CARRIED AWAY.
The forward boat on the port side was
uAlbu Wlbu water Dy Tue uoAVy sea- An
other wave following struck it, smashed the
rail and bent the daviis. heavy pieces Of
iron four inches thick, and swept the boat
away. The barometer was falling con-
stautly and the wind and sea wers inoreas-
ing. So Capt Lyma concluded to head his
ship TO the eastward and avoid, IL possible,
running through the dangerous storm cen.
ter. In this he was successful, but hours
elapsed before the weather moderated suf-
fioiently TO allow him to put the ship again
on her course The passengers were kept
below for nearly forty-eight hours.
A COLLISION NARROWLY AvERTKD.
At ebout s o'clock at night the Newport,
while heading to the eastward. came near
sharing the terrible fate Of the Viscaya. Il
was almost impossible to see q ships length
ahead, and when fash light was seen al.
most dead ahead and a three-masted
schooner was seen lying hove TO aud en-
deavoring to weather the gale,
it was for some moments uncertain
whether or not the crash Of a collision
would finish the work of destruction from
which the steamer was endsavorinR to
escape. The Newport refused TO obey her
helm promptly and passed In dangerous
proximity TO her unsuspeoting neighbor on
that lonely ocean highway. No boat could
have lived 10 q sea so heavy as was running
at the time, and collision would probably
have resulted In the loss Of both vessels with

LONDON. Feb. 3.-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Mr.. Marjoriganks moved the
appointment Of commission TO examine
the new magazine rife and the reasons for
its adoption.
Mr.. Hanbury condemned the system by
which the now rife was introduced. He
said that out of thirteen patents connected
with the rife one official held ten in his
own name. The basic necessity was
not an isolated inquiry as TO why
the rife was adopted, but reform in the
war Office. He therefore moved an amend
ment that a commission to inquire into the
mere details OF the military administration
was undesirable, as weakening the full re-
sponsibilIty of the officials who recom>
mended the rifle.
After sharp debate, in which the war
Office was severely criticised, the amend
ment was carried by a vote Of 108 to "a.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.--Jay Gould and
Postmaster General Wanamaker are
friends again or, at least, well on the way
toward friendly terms which viii preclude
any further attempts on the part OF Gould
TO squeeze Reading or any other stocks
which Postmaster General Wanamaker
holds IL appears that they have come TO
an agresment on the postal telegraph ques~
ton, which has been the bone OF conten-
tion between them. Mr.. Gould for his
own reasons, so far. unknown and probably
undiScovernble has lost the feeling against
the postal telegraph bill. which led him to
emulate the efforts of the lottery TO injure
Mr.. Wanamaker financially, and would now
view with indifference, II not with favor,
the passage Of the bill.
GOULD ILL.
Mr.. Gould spent last night here ON his way
south. He had intended to call at the POST
master Generals last night in accordance
with an arrangement concluded between
them by correspondonce, to talk the matter
over. But when he reached Washington
he was so III he could not leave his car. His
son sent Mr.. Wanamaker a note telling him
that Mr.. Gould could not keep his engage
ment. Upon receiving it Mr.. Wanamaker

there he found that Mr.. Gould was too III
to see him. so they win not meet until Mr..
Gould's return.
Mr.. Gould left this morning much better.
Meanwhile an attempt will be made to get
the postal telegraph bill out of tho House
committee. Chairman Bingham says that
bis position has been misrepresented; that
II 1t had not been for him the bill would
have been buried at the last meeting OF the
committee. His vote just saved 1t from
being laid on the table. There is now no
prospects of It's passage. The Gould party
were joined here this morning by Mr.. Fell
ton Of Virginia. and Supt. Green of the
Richmond and Danville system, and the
combined party proceeded southward on an
extended tour, which, it Is said. will include
Florida, Northern Alabama, Tennessee, and
large part Of the Missouri Pacific system.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Decline of the Fish Supply-N0
Volcano Road Built as Yet.

The steamer Zealandia arrived yesterday
from the Hawaiian Islands bringing Homo
lulu exchanges as late as August 18th, from
which the following notes are cleaned:
Reports from Hilo state that the much
talked of volcano road still bids fair to be
long time coming 1t is stated, however,
Minister Spencer is intending to put the
prisoners on the work before long, and a
force of fifty or sixty men will push it rap
idly. The materials for the new volcano
hotel are all on the ground, and that work
is progressing finely.
Coeducation is becoming a topic of con-
siderable discussion among the Hawaiians,
the United States being referred to as a fine
example OF the admirable working of that
system.
In reply to a suggestion that the canning
oil nsh Tor export is latent source OF wealth
for the islanders, the Hawaiian Gazette
says the fish supply there is exhausted
every day, and fish are so scarce and SO dear
that half the people in Honolulu who would
be glad to have q bite or two of fish on the
table once or twice week can't get it and
are forced to fall back on beef and mutton
as their only reliable staples. Formerly
four large mullet Or amaama could be had
Tor % cents. Now one large mullet costs
81. and even at that high price the supply
holds out only an hour or two, and those
who are late can find none. The Gazette
declares that Honolulu is not the place to
start fish cannery. as all kinds of fish are
becoming every year smaller and dearer,
and Hawaiians have to send to Oregon and
New Zealand for canned fish.
