The officers of the Umbria eXerted
themselves to make things as pleasant
as possible for the passengers, Capt.
Mckay threw aside the mantle Of super
human dignity that usually envelOps
the commander of an ocean liner, and
told everybody frankly and freely just
what was the matter with the machln-
cry. and what were the varying pros
poets from day to day of arrival in New
York. DR.. Flnnken put more sugar
than ever in the. pills he administered,
and was always ready with joke or a
funny story if any one became too much
depressed in his vicinity. Purser
Field rendered very substantial serv-
ice by reapportloning the staterooms,
so as to give every one as comfortable
quarters as possible Tor a long wait, and
the chief stewart, Cora, busted hlmSelf
going about among the passengers TO
inquire what were their favorte dishes,
and serving up the same at luncheons,
dinners and suppers. Everything was
done that could be done, in fact, to
mitigate the discomfort and disappoint-
ment of the travellers, who were de-
tanned at sea by an unavoidable acct
dent.
Altogether the victims of the UNI
bria's ''shipreck" may, Oh looking back
to their present trip, remember that they
have spent many an unhappler and less
comfortable fortnight than the one that
ended today. The only complaint that
any one has to make with regard to the
Cunard company related to the Gallla
incident. Simon Stern is particularly
severe in this direction.

ed to the Umbria'S request for tow,
and before noon she was connected to
the big ship by a steel hawSer and was
steaming slowly westward, the German
flag at her stern Haunting before the
bow of the disabled EngliShman.
The storm grew heavier i'll the after
noon, aud it was all that the Bohemia
could do TO drag her big burden in the
teeth of a head wind. After dark a
heavy snow storm sprang up, which OBJ
scured the lights of the two vessels from
each other. About midnight the steel
hawser broke in violent gale, and on
Christmas morning the passengers on
the Umbria found themselves again
adrift in raging storm, with naught in
sight but the sky and the sea. What
became of the Bohemia no one knew.
She probably lost track of the Umbria
in the snow storm after the hawSer
parted; and, if she searched for her
after daybreak she did not find her. A
larger percentage of the passengers
than usual attended divine service, con-
Quoted by PurSer Field in the saloon
That morning, and responses to the
prayers were unusually hearty.
Though when the men met i'll the
smoking room afterwards many were
constrained to explain that they only
strolIed in to hear the music, or to pass
aMaX the time.

Minneapolis will have another theater,
and w. +. Sterling. the veteran man
ager and prince of good fellows, will be
its manager. Sterling has been con-
nected with several enterprises of the
kind, but this one promises to prove the
best and most lasting. AS soon as the
snow is off the ground in the spring,
and when the weather is sufficiently
warm to allow TheSpiS to wander about
with impunity and without danger OF
catching cold, the work on the new
temple will be begun. 1t will be erected
on ground on First avenue south, adj
Joining the old Tribune hulk, and will
nave frontage of 30 feet, with a depth
of 1875. 1t VIII be four stories in height,
and built of red pressed brick. 1t will
also be as near fire-proof as 1t is pos
sble to make a building. The prop
erty Is part of the possessions of
Josephine X. Sherburne. Yesterday a
ninety-nine-Year lease was secured flom

The bulk of the money for the further

who, for reasons of his own, does not
desire to have his name mentioned at
the present time. Lac Stafford, well
known in Minneapolis as capitalist, is
also connected with the enterprise, and
it was through his work that the deal
was successfully cOnSummated. The
architect is Henry q. Carter. makes
a speciality of thea erS and playhOu5eS.
He says the new tlleater will be one of
the finest in the West, and it will have
a seating capacity Of 2,400.
The theater will be named the PeO-
pies, and it will be run,as nearly as can
be figured at this early date, on the
stock company plan, with none but the
very best actors employed. During the
summer season light opera companies
will hold the boards. 1t is expected
that the theater will make it's debut the
first of next August. 1t will be built on
the most approved style, with ten exits,
exclusive of the main entrance, so that
in case of fire there need be no alarm
and no panic. The interior appoint
ments will be elaborate. The stage will
be 40xS0 feet, with 70 feet to the rigging
left. The curtain opening will be 40X40
feet. There will be fourteen dressing
rooms, and Manager Sterling says he
will revive the Old-time greenroom,
giving the actors a suitable place to
wait for their calls. There will De i'll
the main house parQuet, balcony, gal
lery and three tiers of boxes, twelve III
all. Arthur HURT, of the Globe theater,
Boston, will do the scenic and curtain
work.

But the Hawscr Parted and the
Ships lost Each Other.
New York, Dec. 3l.-The Umbria
had sighted only two ships since leav-
ing Queenstown, and it might be a week
or even two weeks before she was re-
ported. The Catalonia, of the Cunard
line, which sailed from Liverpool for
Boston Thursday, the Esd, might pass
within hailng distance in day or TWO,
and the Normaudie, of the French line,
which sailed from Havre on the pre-
ViouS Saturday, was also due over the
same course. If these should be missed,
there was still chance later of falling
in with the Cunarder Gallia, which was
to leave Boston for Liverpool the next
Monday: or The Britannia, OF the White
Star line, that had sailed from Liver
pool for New York the Wednesday pre-
ViOus. Outside Of these there were
chances Of hailing tramp steamers or
vessels of other lines.
Chief Steward Gore said that there
were enough provisions on board to last
for three weeks more without any one
being in the slightest degree stinted, or
even for four or five weeks, with depri-
walton of few luXuries. Very few of
the passengers remained up much later
than was their wont Friday night, al
though they fully realized that they
were drifting helplessly in mid-ocean in
q storm. OIL was poured upon the
water through the drainage pipes of the
ship, and she was quieter than while
the machinery was in motion.
Just after Daylight those who were
asleep were awakened 10y several re-
ports from the Umbria'S gun, and the
sound OF her whistle. In ten minutes
almost every one was on deck to ascer-
tain what was the matter. A ship was
in sight. Just on the edge of the hori-
Zon, bouuG eastward. For half an hour,
during which time the gun was contin-
uaIly discharged and the hoarse whistle
blows 1t was impossible to detect
Whctaer or not the other boat had seen
OF heard the Umbria'S whistles, as dur
inc the entire voyage she had sighted
but two other vessels, and the passed.
gers felt that it was almost too much
luck that help should be at hand sc
soon after the breakdown. Soon, how.
ever. it was seen that the newcomer
was making toward the drifting ship
and at , O'Clock she was alongside. She
proved to be the Bohemia, remembered
in connection with the cholera scare in
