The Wonderful Performances OF Sea
Captain and His Wife.
News comes from Honolulu that ship
ping men in that port were recently
surprised to see the brig G. IL. Douglass,
supposed TO have been lost on a coral
reef at Butaritari, sail into port with
master and crew in the last stage of eX-
haustion from overwork and hunger.
Capt Holland, the master at the time
Of the wreck, sold the vessel for five
hundred dollars to Il, d. Reid, master
of the trading schooner Reid. He got
the vessel off the reef, patched up the
bottom and then started with her for
Honolulu His voyage was remarka-
bic lie had TO make it without chro-
nometer or log, and with broken
pumps. The vessel was leaking badly.
Besides this, halfo the provisions were
lost and for the last four days before
reaching Honolulu Capt. Reid and his
wife vert without food They did no
manual labor and gave their share 10
the men working the pumps
The voyage lasted thirty-two days.
During this time the men were at the
pumps day and night The water rose
six and half inches an hour, and this
Increased at the latter end OF the trip,
when the men were weakest and could
barely keep the vessel from becoming
water-logged Capt. Reid was nearly
dead from hunger and exposure, but he
brought the supposed wrecked vessel
into port The vessel was examined
at Honolulu, and was pronounced only
slightly injured

Public Printing Bill Defeated in the
House--Senate Doings.

Public Printing Bill Defeated in the
House--Senste Doings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The galleries of
Che House were filled yesterday by per-
sons anxious to hear the discussion Of
the Presidents message on the Chilian
question, should it come up The inter-
est in this matter is deep and widespread
and until it comes up in Congress, or is
otherwise disposed of, the attendance
upon the session of the House will be, it
is expected, unusually large. Before the
House was called to order a number of
ex-soldiers were ON the floor discussing
the matter, but members kept silence
when approached by reporters.
The bill to regulate the Public Printing
came up as unfinished business, and after
being attacked by Messrs. O'Neill, Chip
man, Bankhead, and others, and being
defended by Mr. Richardson, it was laid
on the table by a vote Of 1856 to 102, thus
disposing of the measure. Mr.. Richard
son said a rough estimate fixed upon
S400, 600 or $500, 900 az the amount that
would be saved each year by the bill.
Mr. Springer then moved TO adjourn
but his motion was defeated, only TO be
carried when made by Mr.. McCreary of
Kentucky five minutes later.
The Senate with an average attendance
of twenty-five members during the
greater part of the day discussed the La
Abra claim till an adjournment. During
the morning hour public building bills,
most Of which went through the Senate
but failed to pass the House, were passed
by the Senate appropriating about $780,

awful extent and hundreds are dying daily ;
so eVilly disposed persons, haters OF for
eigners, have spread the malicious report
that some Chinese are travelling round, IN
the pay of the Europeans, poisoning all the
wells and the rivers; hence the awful num-

are put in prison, and many have had their
heads cut of and entrsils and hearts throw n
into the river to propitiate the river god.
Fears are entertained for the safety OF a

mission, IN returning TO HankOw, as IL is
known he will soon, unless he gets the let

The China Inland Mission is supposed to
be all right at Fan-chen, or to have left for
safer places. From Chen-tu, near lehang,
