A MARINE DISASTER.
A British Vessel Wrecked on the Pacific

A British Vessel Wrecked on the Pacific
Coast-Twenty Sailors Perish.
ABERDEEN, Wash, Feb. 1.-The Brit
ish bark Ferndale, which went ashore
10 miles north of the entrance to
Gray's harbor Friday, is now total
wreck about 1 mile off shore and of
her crew of twenty-three men all
but three sailors are drowned.
A terrific gale and exceptionally high
tide prevailed at the time. The sea
ran higher than was ever before
known. When she struck the officers
and crew at once prepared to reach
shore, but they had little time in which
to make their preparations. 1t was
impossible to successfully launch their
boats with the tremendous sea run
ming, and although an attempt was
made the frail craft were almost i'm
mediately swamped.
Nothing was left for the crew to do
but to lash themselves to the yards and
broken pieces of masts Soon after
the sea broke over the stranded ship
and several of the crew We're washed
away. The last man to leave
the deck was Capt. Blair. Three
of the seameu reached the shore
on pieces of drift and the body of the
mate was afteward picked up on the
sandy beach incased in a life-preserver,
but no trace of the others could be
found. The Ferndale was new ves-
sci and was on her first trip to the
coast. 1t was also the first visit of
Capt Blair to this const The vessel
was worth about 500, 900.

MUST HONOR THE FLAG.

Chilli Informed That she Must Salute tho
stars and stripes In Ordcr to Make Her
Apology Complete.
NEW York, Jan. 80.--The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
President Harrison will send another
rltimatum to tho little South Ameri-
can republic. In substance this cable
was sent from here at an early hour
Friday morning:
"Egan, Santiago, Chilli: President Harrison
accepts Chili's apology in the broad and gen.
,erous spirit In which 1t was offered.
"BLAINE."
A cable to this effect will follow this
morning:
"Egan Santiago, Chilli While Chilis apol-
,ogy is, in terms, all that this country could ask,
yet there is one thing more to be done before
the dignity OF the United States will be fully
satisfied. Chill must salute the stars and
,stripes BLAINE"
Such was the decision at the meeting
of the cabinet late Friday afternoon.
The first cable that is, the one accept
ing the apology-also states that the
matter of indemnity to the families Of
the two sailors who were killed and
the fourteen others who were wounded
in the Valparaiso affair can be settled
py WIG UWo RoNCIhIuCht NlOHouo hClCI-
"ence to arbitration.
The second cable, or the one de-
manding that the stars and stripes be
honored informs Minister Egan that a
salute to the national colors will give
emphasis and expression to Pereira's
apology, which will make IL doubly
gratifying to the people of this coun-
try, and he is to understand that this
government will insist upon it.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Chili must
salute the flag. When this is done the
Baltimore incident will be closed.
There will be no resort to the supreme
court of the United States nor to a
tribunal of arbitration. President Har.
rson's administration accepts the apol-
.ogy of the Chilian government in its
broadest sense. With this feeling there
will be no need of any Intervention to
settle the terms of settlement. The
'Chilian authorities having admitted
that reparation is due, the arrange
ment of the amount of idemnity to be
paid the families of the victims of the
Valparaiso assault can easily be ar
ranged through diplomatic channels.
SANTIAGO, Jan. 80. A cable dis
patcn was received frluay morning
from Minister Pedro Montt at Wash
ington repeating the text oil President
llarrson's message to congress, ac
-companying Chili's reply to the ulti
matum of the United States. He add
that he is now assured that th,
government of the United States j.
favorably disposed to that Of Chill
and is content with Minister Pereira',
reply. Senor Pereira read Scno
Months dispatch at the session of thu
senate Friday afternoon. Nothing wa
said in the dispatch relating to the
question of future arbitration and in
demnity, but Chilli will certainly pa,
whatever indemnity is agreed upon.

WHAT AUTHORS EARN.
A Calling That Does Not ALWAYS Yield
Rich Returns.


Rich Returns.
The simple fact is this: Select at ram
dom one hundred modern authors, and.
unless you hit upon an unusual list not
twenty-five will you find who, if they
would tell you, are earning over two
thousand dollars u year by their pen.
This may sound discouraging, but
think the truth of the assertion will be
borne out by any well-posted literary
man. The author who earns more is
either a particular genius in his line or
he resorts to other and incidental kinds
of work. such as reading for the pub
fishing houses, editing books or writing
advertisements But let him confine his
pen to purely legitimate literature, and
he must be Industrious and clever to
earn the snm stated above. / know it
is the fashion to quote fancy figures as
the income of certain authors, and in
some cases the figures are undoubtedly
true. But when figures are cited as the
income of the author of good ability
and average reputation, be assured that
they are biased when they exceed two
thousand dollars or at the outside, two
thousand five hundred dollars per year.
Men like Mr.. Howells, Frank Stockton,
Robert Louis Stevenson, Bret Harte,
DIR. Holmes, of course, are not referred
to here. They are exceptions and un-
| questionably have large incomes But
the rank and file of authors of good re-
pute, having names that are frequently
seen and have become familiar, is the
class l speak of in this paragraph. I
have been taken into the confidence OF
but few, and l am not abusing that
confidence when say to the young au-
thor: Don't be led into the belief that
the literary waters are green with bank
notes, or that the average author hears
nothing but the clink of the dollar

Carruthers, Scotch editor, looked SO
much like Thackeray that upon one oc-
casion when Carruthers called upon
Thackeray the maid who met him at
the door laughed in his face because
she thought her master in fit of alb
sent mindedness had come home and
asked for himself. The likeness must
have been less remarkable, however,
than that between southern presby-
terian minister and the elder of
neighboring flock. The two were con-
stantly mistaken for each other, and
finally one day when the elder was in
New York he excused himself from an
acquaintance upon the plea that he
must go and speak to his friend the
minister, advanced toward large mir
ror. and was actually about to hold out
his hand when he discovered that he
had mistaken his own reflection for his
flesh and blood double. Both parson
and elder have injured their reputation
for veracity by telling this unquestioIl-
ably true story.-N. Y. Sun.
