A Little Boat Bound for Afric

Two weeks ago little sloop started from
England on voyage to Sierra Leone, on the
west coast of Africa. Her name is the
Queen, and she Is under the command of
Captain Thomas Jacks, with a crew
Of two hands. The vessel, which is
only 81 feet in length, has an IN
der deck tonnage of II tons and a
gross tonnage of 20 tons. She is intended
for trading purposes on African rivers and
along the coast. 1t has fbeen customary to
take such vessels cut on the decks of
steamships. For some reason in this case
it became necessary to sail the Queen to
Africa. She Is strongly built hardwood
vessel and her captain has no fears that he
will not reach his destination, although he
expects that 1t will be a rather trying jour
ney. He says she is perfectly seawOrthy
and capable OF standing the heavy weather
she may meet on her long voyage. The
captain and the crew will sleep in a little
square house on the after part OF the deck.
Her cargo is salt The captain intends to
make Madeira his first port of CALL

Mysterious DisaPpearnce of a Prom

 DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 16.-Colonel J. B. Simpson, for years regarded as one of the solid pillars of Dallas, has mysteriously disappeared. He is charged with many crooked transactions. He was president of the Fouth National bank and tried to mortgage that concern, but was prevented by the dire ctors. His real estate deals were on 8 mammoth scale and people who bought property of him on his assurance that the deals were perfect now find their homes mortgsged. Simpson realized s36, 900 on duplicate note of which the origi- nal had been paid. One of the losers is the

TARIFF AND SILVER.

Renewed Agitation to Hold a Joint Conference on the Silver Qaestion-
 Filtbustering in the House.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Fob. 16.-During the filibustering in the house to-day MT. Bland said to reporter that, in the at tempt to take up unfinished business there was no idea of forcing silver to the front. MT. Culbertson of Texas wanted to get the calendar to take up bill to amend the laws relative to charges of judges and juries. MT. Bland intimated that he did not pro- pose to do anything at present on the sil- bill.
 MT. Catchings is away, he said, and the silver men de not intend to present their petition to the rules committee asking for a special order for the silver bill until his return. I am confident that we will ulti- mately get 8 special rule from the comwit- tee. Personally think it would be much better to take in the silver question first and get it out of the way, clearing the decks for the tariff. But shall not antagonize the other democrats if they want to take up the tariff first.
 On the question of which subject-tariff or silver-shall be first taken up, it is evil dent tho democrats are greatly divided. No conclusion will be reached with refer ence to it for some days, and meanwhile the anti-silver men believe that the greater delay they can secure the better. There was renewed agitation to-day of the prop osition to hold joint conference of demo- crats of the senate and house on the silver question. Messrs. Rayner of Maryland and Mckinney of New Hampshire were among those urging that this be done. The matter did not take shape, however. Many democrats are deprecating the prominent position the silver question is assuming, and some are urging that it should be met quickly and got out of the way. MT. Bar tine said: "I think that about ten repub- licans will vote for free coinage, but would not like to speak positively"

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.

MT. Harrison Asks for an Appropria.
 ton to Carry Into Effect an Act
 Passed by the Last House.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 16.-The fol- lowing is the text of message transmitted to congress to-day by the president:
 There was passed by the last congress an act for the protection of the lives of the miners in the territories which was ap- proved by me on the third day of March, 1891. That no appropriation was made to enable ms to carry the act into effect re- suited, suppose, from the fact that it was passed so late in the session. This law recognizes the necessity of responsible public inspection and supervision of the business of mining in the interest of the miners and is in line with the legislation of has its unavoidable incidents of discom- fort and danger, these should not be in- creased by the neglect of tue owners to provide practicable safety appliance. Econ omies which involve sacrifice of human life are intolerable. I transmit herewith memorials from several hundred miners working in the coal mines in the Indian territory asking for the appointment of an inspector under the act referred to. The recent frightful disaster at Krebs, in which sixty-seven miners met horrible death, gives urgency to this appeal, and recommend that special appropriation be made for the salaries and necessary ex. penses of the inspectors provided for ir fha 1aw

FIRE IN HER HOLD,

A Rag Steamers Cargo Ablazc-Thir-
 ty Bales Cast Overboard-Boats and
 Rigging Washed From the Deck by
 Heavy Seas.
 NEW YORK, Feb. n.1e.-The steamship Africa, from Hamburg, reports that on February 8 fire was discovered in the cargo of rags in her hold. The first officer and a couple of the crew wrapped wet towels about their heads and descended into the hold to locate the fire. The hold was full of smoke. With much difficulty the men were got out alive as the bales of rags blazed up. A tackle was rigged up and with grappling hooks thirty bales of burn ing rags were hauled up and cast over board. After six hours hard work the fire was extinguished.
 The fire broke out again on February 10, but was soon extinguished. After that the vessel encountered a storm wkich last ed for several days. The waves broke over her and washed away all the boats and carried off all the rails, the deck houses and most of the rigging.
