NEW YORK, December 29.-The steam
ship Calico (British), Capt. Jones, late
Coleman, from Hull, December II, with
merchandise to Sanderson Sons, arrived at
the bar at a. N. to-day. She had con-
tinuation of westnorthwest gales and high
seas throughout the passage with frequent
snow squalls. On December 10, Capt.
Coleman was taken sick, and died on the
10Th, from valvular disease Of the heart.
He was buried at sea on the Goth, during a
northwest gale. He was AZ years old, and
native of Bristol, residing at Hull.
The Calico broughtnew Of the overdue
steamship Umbria.. On December 25, at 5
D. m, in latitude 1889, longitude $3.50, so
runs the log, she sighted laree steamer
bearing northwest, apparently disabled.
Bore down close to hen and she exhibited
three red lights, showing that she was I'M
manageable, but not requiring assistance.
Exchanged night signals with her, which
showed her to be the Cunard steamer
Umbria, from Liverpool for New York.
She made no other signals for assistance,
although a heavy sea was running al the
time. She laid quite easy and comfort
able, with the wind northwest, blowing q
fresh gale.
Captain Jones was Of the opinion that
the Umbria's machinery was disabled, and
that she was making necessary repairs. On
the morning of the 26th the Calico passed
two steamers bound east, which would no
doubt fall in with the steamer and render
any assistance should she require it. Capt.
Jones states that there need be no alarm
or the Umbria's safety

New YORK, December 29.-The police,

To-day they arrested Mrs. Jette Rathkof-
ski, and produced evidence upon which she
was held in default of $1,000 bonds for

It seems that Mrs. Rathkofski frequent
ly accosted girls employed in millinery
shops and factories, and invited them TO
her rooms. Lille Brown and Deborah
Aaronson, two fifteen-year-old girls en-
ployed in stores, were spoken to In this
way several times, and on Christmas night
they accepted the invitation.
She had according TO the testimony Oh
Lille Brown two men in her apartments
who as soon as the girls entered the rooms,
with the aid of Mrs. Rathkofski assaulted
them and then left The gills resisted and
screamed for help to no purpose.
Fearing discovery and the shame attend

Aaronson girl is still missing. The detec-
tiyes are on her track and also expect to

lative contingent were in high feathers.
The Presidents cooperation had Deen
counted on as sure, but this confidence was
suddenly discovered TO be delusive.
According to Wall street reports, Secre-
tary Foster before he left town to go West
is credited with having received dispatch
from Washington couched in pretty stin
language and running substantially as FOL

The Times says that Mr.. Foster met the
Wall street men at club house on Fifth

of President Harrison upset their plans

Cochran is a strong man, full OF fight and

EASY matter TO defeat him.
While it is only natural Senator Hill
should want Mr. Cleveland's open opposi-
ion to his candidate for the other New
York Senatorship, it is not believed he has
any idea Of fighting the new administra-
ton. There is good reason for believing
that Hill will not only decline to pose as
the leader of an opposition, but will SUD-
sort the administration in most mat
iers. Where trouble is looked for
Is with relation 70 combinations.
There is q notion Of some people
that Hill will make fight at every Oppor-

Men who are familiar with the situation

only thing Hill has in view is TO stand on

PARIS, December 29-M. Castelbon, who
was In the list OF the twenty.s six Thierree
checks as having received check for 20,
600 francs from Baron Reinach, was wit
ness before the Panama Commission OF the
Chamber of Deputies to-day. The previ-
Gus explanation in regard TO this check had
been that M. Castelbon was about TO start
a paper called the NoureIls Pressc and
that Senator Paul Deves had given
Castelbon letter Of introduc-
ton to Baron Reinach, with the
view of having Castelbon assisted by
Reinach In his enterprise, and that Castel-
bon had received the check from ReinacL
for the purpose Of aiding him TO start the
NourcIle Presse, Deves cashing the check.
The Libre Parole had alleged that Deves
was the real beneficiary Of the check which
Deves strenuously denied. To-day, how
ever, Castelbon admitted that, when Deves
cashed the check, he, Castelbon, handed
back TO Dsves Is, 900 to 20, 600 francs. This
statement caused sensation.

PROSECUTING THE JEWS.
The Gar and His Onicials Keep Up Their
Inhumanity.

LONDON, December 29.-The latest adj
vices from St. Petersburg and other parts
of Russia show that the persecution OF the
Jews and the inhumanity OF the Cars
officials toward that unhappy race are
greater than ever before.
Six edicts have been issued aiming to
dispense the Jewish subjects Of Russia,
weaken their position and trading centres
and crush out their religion. These edicts
are enforced with the utmost rigor In many
parts of the empire. and with severity
everywhere The Moscow papers boast
that since the beginning OF 1891 10000 Jews
have been converted TO orthodoxy.
The unhappy converts |ho have been
driven TO pretended denial of their re-
ligious faith in order to escape intolerable
persecution, have been deported TO the dis
trict of Tcherkesovo, about five miles from
Moscow. There they are vigorously gov
erned by priests of the Russian Orthodox
Church, who require them TO attend the
services Of that church and to comply with
its various rules, watching narrowly for
any sign of evasion or repentance.
