Mr.. Gladstone's Advent to Power Upsets tho
Salisbury Policy.
MONTREAL. Jan. 4.-The Star has the follow
ing special cable from London:
1.-The outgoing of Lord Salisbury's admins
tration and the incoming of that of Mr.. Glad
stone has quite upset the policy and plans in
the matter of state-aided emigration. The
secretary for Scotland has intimated that
there will be no further crofter emgra-
ton to the Canadian northwest under state
control. The British Columbia crofter scheme
Is affected by this declaration and as a
consequence the crofter company which pro-
posed TO establish crofter colony and pro-
vide the members with means for making a
living which would be to the advantage of both
the company and its settlers is still uniformed
and the syndicate has been compelled to obtain
extension OF time of one year for its formation.
The Imperial FEDERATION League journal,
the official organ of the league, strongly urges
the folly of the preferential tariff movement
The paper saws that however desirable in
themselves are these bounties and privileges
they are unattainsble The paper further states
that all concerned will get on much faster with
practical federation if this preferential trade
talk ceases. as it only leads to dissensiop.

Practical Lesson to All Ladies' Who Shop
I'm the Big Stores.
They emerged from an street store chatting
and carolling as merrily and gayly as two bright
winged orioles in a mulberry tree.
They were two pretty little Washington dam
sels-such girls as can't be found in any other
city in this broad land; rosy, vivacious. high
spirited and altogether charming.
Suddenly the brunette looked down at some
thing she held in her daintily gloved hand. She
came to quick stop, her color deepened into a
rich crimson and her whole appearance and at
titude denoted surprise, shame and fear.
What is the matter. Millie?' inquired the
blonde, glancing at her companions changed
face.

The little terra Gotta gloved fingers were en-
circled around package containing probably
a dozen pairs of ladies kid gloves. bound tightly
together, with the usual slip of white paper on
each side, but the edges of the gloves showing
plainly.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.--The American bark Her.

rived from Brunswick. Ga. She left the latter
port Christmas day. aud when che got in
here thcre was increase of twelve persons
ON board whom tho Fuller took from the
schooner Levanter of Cape Hatteras last Fri
day They consisted of Capt. Bunker master
OF the Levanter. his wife and son and nine sail
ors.
The Fuller rescued them in the nick of time
from the top of the after house of the Levan-
ter. where they had dashed themselves. The lie.
vanter hailed from Thomaston Me-, loaded with
cargo of pitch pine lumber. 1t was the same
old story OF irving to breast Cape Hatteras il
the teeth of fierce gale The Levauter tried
to do it the day after Christmas
The wind was terrific from the north and
east; sea rose to such height that the IeTanter
rolled and strained and finally started to leak.
At daylight December q the Ievanter
with six more feet Of water floating the lu,n-
Der under her matches. At noon she became
water-logged, and, to make matters still worse,
the steering gear would not work aud the hulk
was unmanageable.
Capt Bunker ordered all hands aft and held
a council. Mrs. Bunker for taking to the
open boats, but the sailors finally agreed to
lash themselves to the top of the after house.
This was absolutely necessary as the sea
continued to increase in fury. The
schooner had sunk to the upper deck
at that night and being water-logged
lay completely dead in the water. There was
no going into the cabin or forecastle. 1t was
10 pm. when all hands lashed themselves to
the house, and even here the sea constantly
broke over them.
Mrs. Bunker says: 1--WE all lay huddled to-
gether-my boy in my arms and my clothes
streaming from the wet and frozen to our
skins. How we passed the night l will
never be- able TO tell At daylight when
we revived none could relate how he had
spent the night. Our little boy cried continu-
ally with cold and tried to strengthen his lit
tie heart by telling him that ship would soon
see us and save us. l think that MI the men
thought the same way.
But when daylight of the 2Sth came, and
promised sail and saw none, tell you every
heart left them all. God only knows how we passed
that day, that night. the next day and the next
night, until finally at noon on the 3Oth
the Fuller came along, saw our signals and
saved ALL We were then 40 miles
east by north of Cape Hatteras
We lived on little or nothing while on the home
trip, the schooner rolling so and tho sea dash

body's life to go in search of food. l do not
wish to go to sea again.
