PORT TOWNSEND, Feb. THE bark
entine Retriever, seven days from San
francisco, arrived at Hadlock this morn
ing and reports seeing a double-decked
vessel bottom up, green painted above
the copper, about $50 feet long, thirty-two
miles southwest of Cape Flattery last
Friday. The vessel was very deep down
in the water and the name was not dis
cernible, or anything else to determine
the identity of the vessel. The descrip-
ton does not apply to any vessel overdue
at this port. In some quarters it is be-
lieved the derelict reported by the Re-
triever is the British ship st. Monian, $50
days from Santos, Brazil, for this port
The latter vessel was given up for lost by
the charterers, and issninety days over
due. Several tugs left this morning in
search of the wreck, and they will return
about tomorrow night. Another un-
authenticated report is current that there
are two derelicts off Cape Flattery.
Recent arrivals report unprecedented
storms last week off the Oregon and

minor damages.

The Queens Address Discussed in the
Commons.

The Queens Address Discussed in the
Commons.
LONDON, Feb. SIN the Commons this
evening Gladstone said ne voiced the
feeling OF all parties in risingto propose
that debate on the address should have
precedence until concluded. Then fol-
lowed a spirited debate, during which
Healy accused Balfour of obstruction to
Government measures, and Gladstone
stated that he would be forced to apply
the cloture if debate on the address was
protracted. The suggestion of cloture
met with disapproval of Irish members.
Gladstone's motion to give precedence
was finally approved, and debate re-
sumed.
keir Hardie, a Labor member, moved
| an amendment expressing regret that the
address had not mentioned widespread
misery among the workingmen of Great
Britain. The Government should take
steps to alleviate the immediate distress
by ordering throughout the workshops
| that the maximum wages be six pence
per hour for a week of forty eight hours,
and all Government contracts be given
out in England. The time was ripe also
for regulation by law of the hours of rail-
way employees. Government more
over, should establish home colonies on
unused land, where the unemployed
could find an opportunity to earn
bread.
II oward Vincent, Conservative and
Fair-trader, supported the amendment.
Sir John Gorst, Financial Secretary of
the Treasury IN the last Salisbury Cabf-
net, spoke strongly for Hardie's amend
ment.
Mundella, President of the Board of
Trade, tainted the opposition with the
suddenness of their solicitude for the
workingmen. Mundella announced that
the Ministers would regard a vote on the
amendment as vote of confidence. The
amendment was lost-276 to 100.
The result of the debate in the House
this evening has been that the Ministers
had decided to apply the cloture on Fri
day, in case the address be still under
discussion at that time. The purpose is
to clear the way for introducing the home
rule bill next Monday.
Some excitement was caused in the
course of the day by the Disappearance OF
the Irish hone-rule bill. Gladstone
missed in the morning a portfolio con-
tanning the bill as well as drafts of other
measures. After a long and exciting
search it was found in Gladstone's private
room. There is still mystery how tho
portfolio got there.
