Mourning at IT. Johns.

HALIFAX. " S, March 2.-Reports
from st. Johns, y. f., to-day lead TO the
belief that the number of the dead on ac-
count of Saturdays gale will exceed fifty.
Seventeen dead bodies have thus far been
recovered. OF the twenty men who were
rescued, three have since died.
On Saturday over 200 seal hunters left
port and were overtaken by the terrific
gale in their small boats They were
without food and entirely at the mercy of
the gale A number of boats managed to
reach harbors and others were rescued by
the relief party sent out Sunday, but
there are still over 100, unaccounted for
and this altogether with those already
dead will bring the death roll up to a
frightful figure.
The ice steamer Labrador. which set out
in search Of the boats, has not yet re-
turned. There is the greatest grief ever
known at st. Johns, as most of the fisher
men were the fathers Of families and the
suspense of the relatives of the missing
men is terrible. Unless the missing are
heard from to-day. all hope of their safety
will have TO be abandoned. If they were
not drowned in Saturdays gale, IL is
hardly probable that they could have sur
vived the cold and hunger.

The Lapham Biu Up Again.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 2.-The hear
ing on the Lapham fisheries bill was re-
sumed this morning by the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries. Repre-
sentatives Randall and Cogswell of Massa-
chusetts, Milliken of Maine and Lapham
of Rhode Island were present to look
after the interest of their respective States.
j. Russell Reed of Bostdf~ said the
people of Massachusetts, protested strongly
against the bill. Attorney General Pills
bury then made the legal argument for
the State in opposition to the bill
He said the subject is Of great import
ance TO the people of Massachusetts, who
found 1t necessary 10 protect the fisheries
Of BuzZard's Bay against encroachments
of fishermen from other States by an act
of 1886.
This act prohibits any fishing with
drags, set or gil-net, or purse or sweep
seine in Buzzard's bay. 1t was sustained
by the supreme court Of Mass sachusetts.
Mr.. Pillsbury then went on at length to
show that the States could better protect
their fisheries than could the general gov.
ernment.

ELMIRA, n. ", March 2.-The Republi-
cans carried the city yesterday like n
whirlwind, electinG Col. d. G. Robinson
mayor by the unprecedented majority Of
1,24s.
The Republican candidates for aldermen
were elected i'm every ward, and also ma
jorty of the supervisors in the city, both
justices of the peace and all the con-
stables.
Frederick Collin, the Democratic can
didate for mayor. carried only one ward.
Collins is well known lawyer of the firm
of Reynolds, Stonchgeld & Collins; he
was opposed by David &. Robinson, son of
Gov. Robinson. Collins is a brother of
Senator Hills attorney.
The contest was waged on the lines of
Endorsement or condemnation of the city
administration, and was fought with un-
usual vigor and determination. The re-
suit was an overwhelming defeat of the
Democratic ticket and the overthrow of
the corrupt ring which has held this city
in bondage for the past twenty years under
Democratic administrations.
The Democratic faction of the party,
which is in accord with Hill and his doc
trines has suffered great defeat, and the
Senator will undoubtedly wish that he
had not put his hand in the political poi, ,
Hills interference at this time was at the
solicitation OF those who feared that the
opposition would win. Developments
show that many or those whom IL was
supposed he had whipped into line worked
openly for the defeat OF the ticket. Among
them was brother of State Committee
man Eustace, and Democrats allege that
Eustace himself did not do anything TO
assist the Democratic ticket
The death Of the ring was hard, and the
well-known Arnots' Bank opened its
Golfers wide for the benefit of the strug-
Cling faction. As much as $50 was paid in
some OF the districts of this city by rhe
Democrats for votes. The entire Albany
Hill contingent was here and resorted to
the most dastardly and corrupt practices
for the maintenance of their power. The
Board of Supervisors of Chemung county
will probably be Republican.
Last night, although the snow was
nearly two feet deep in the streets, men
were marching with horns and cheers eel
ebrating the victory. The excitement,
though less noisy, is equally intense to-day.
