BREMEN, March 2O.--Aiter long-continued
anxiety regarding the fate OF the White
Star freight steamer Naronic, which sailed
from Liverpool Feb. IL for New York and
which has not since been heard of, intelli-
gence has been received showing beyond
any doubt that the vessel is lost The
British steamer Coventry, Capt. Wilson,
from Fernandina, Feb. 10, arrived in this
port today. She reports that at o'clock
on the morning of March 4. when IN lati-
tude 42 north, longitude 46 west,
che passed a lifeboat, painted white,
bearing the name 'Naronic." The
boat was floating keel upward.
AT o'clock in the afternoon of the same
day another lifeboat IRON the Nsronic
was passed. This boat gave evidence OF
having encountered heavy weather. The
mast and oars of the lifeboat had been
lashed together and attached to the
painter and then thrown overheard as a
sea anchor to keep the boats head up to
the wind. Judging from appearances
neither of the boats had been long adrift
The position OF the drifting boats was
about south by west of Sable Island on
the banks of Newfoundland. There is a
chance that the occupants of the boats
were picked up by a passing vessel

the shafting was finished and the engineers
began the work of coupling the after
shaft. 1t was found impossible TO break
or cut the broken shaft, and it was decided
to drill il through. This caused great de-
lay. The weather remained fine With a
southerly wind, but on Tuesday the wind
Increased, and the ship commenced drift
ing fast. We were then 332 miles from
Halifax, having drifted fifty-four miles
On Wednesday the engineers were still at
work drilling the shaft. The weather was
foggy and at noon a gale set in from south

the broken end to fit on the eccentric
straps. We were drifting on the New

crank was secured and the engineers be-

WILL He ACCEPT2
State University Presidency to Be Of
fered Mr.. Harrison.

The trusteeS of the state university at
Bloomington are considering the advisa-
bility OF rendering to sx.President Harri-
con the presidency Of the institution, W hich
was recently made vacant by the resigna-
ton OF Prof. j. NJ. Coulter. They have
been looking around for suitable sue
cessor to PROT. Coulter for several weeks
and it was finally suggested that it would
be wise policy TO ofier the place TO the
ex-president and urge him TO accept it.
Elmer Carr, the local trustee OF the uni
versity, and J. w. Cravens, editor OF the
B!oominston HOrld, wefe in the city yester-
day and stopped at the Grand hotel Both
discussed the proposition, and neither
could think of any reasons why Mr.. Har-
rison should refuse 10 accept. Mr. Cra-
vens said the official tender of the place
would likely be made by the trustees

WILL HAVE LATE CLOSING
As One of the Regulations at the
Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, March 20.-It was practically
settled today that whatever the fate of
Sunday closing the ruls at the worlds
fair will be late closing. Heretofore the
expectation has been that only on gala
day occasions and perhaps two evenings a
week would the great expense of keeping
open at night be justified. Chief EnGi-
neer Shankland this afternoon put the
matter in a nutshell. He said: THE
electrical exhibit is the finest thing on
the grounds. The people will want to see
it and they will be given a chance. This
means that the gates will be kept open
until IL o'clock. Any other ruling would
be the utmost folly."

THREE WERE BURNED
BY the Explosion of Powder in n
House at Kenosha, Wis.

KENosHA, Wis, March 20.-A terrible
casualty occurred this afternoon about 5
O'CLOCK. The alarm for fire was given.
and flames were seen issuing from the
house of Chris Arentzen, on Wisconsin
ct. Neighbors ran in, and had begun re-
moving things when a loud explosion was
heard in the rear part of the house.
When the fire department came up and
the flames had been subdued a search was
made. and three bodies were found under
the ruins. The bodies were those OF
Arentzen, his father. and a boy who
lived with the family. They could
scarcely be recognized, as they were
burned almost beyond recognition, and
some OF their limbs were torn away.
Arentzen was a maker OF fireworks, and a
short time after he came here from Chi
cago he started a company and began to
make fancy fireworks in his own house.
large quantity of gun powder was
stored in the place. and this. no doubt,
caused the accident.

court. Senator Villas says his nomination
will meet the cordial Endorsement OF the
people OF Wisconsin regardless OF party
affiliatien.
The nomination OF Ernest P. Baldwin Of
Maryland for first auditor of the treasury
is one of the exceptions which President
Cleveland made to bis rule not TO reap

Mr.. Cleyeland's former administration

counting on behalf of the Japanese gov

give them the desired information.

THE REPORT AT LIVERPOOL.
A Hope That Some of the Crew Were Picked
Up by Vessel.

A Hope That Some of the Crew Were Picked
Up by Vessel.
LIVERPOOL, March 20.-Oficials of the
White Star line company here have re-
ceived the full report of the steamer
Coventry which arrived at Bremen today.
They state that their advices show that
the last lifeboat OF the Earonic passed by
the Coventry was recently occupied by q
portion of the Naronic's crew and they
expressed the hope that the occupants
had been picked up by passing ves-
sci. They also expressed the hope that
the occupants of the other boats had been
rescued. All doubt as to the fate of the
Naronic has been dispelled by the sight
ing of her .lifeboats. That she is now at
the bottom of the ocean cannot be dis
puted. but the cause of the disaster Is. of
course, still q matter of conjecture. 1t may
be, judging from the latitude and longi-
tude in which the boats were seen, that
the steamer struck either derelect or ice
berg, though il is still rather early in the
season for ice to be adrift SO far south
as the banks. 1t is hoped that
the mystery OF the loss OF the
steamer will soon be cleared up by the
landing a: some port of members of her
crew. A vessel which passed Deal today
signaled that she had on board eleven
shipwrecked people, and the White Star
officials say there is strong probability
that they are part of the crew of the
Naronic. The arrival of this vessel is
eagerly awaited, as should the ship
wrecked persons on board be from the
Naronic, all conjecture as to the causes
that led to the laundering of the steamer
will be removed.

Capt. Wilson. the commander of the
Coventry. states that be was not able to
plainly decipher the name on the first life
boat passed by the steamer. though there
was no doubt in his mind that it was
"Naronic." The boat being capsized rem.
dered the reading of the name almost i'm
possible, as the letters reversed could only
be seer when the ends OF the boat were
tbown clear out OF the sea. When the
Coventry came up with the second life
boat the name painted on it was plainly
discernibe. This second boat was half
filed with water. Its appearance led
Copt. Wilson to believe that its occupants
had been taken aboard some vessel, alter
which the boat was cast adrift
