BATTLKD WITH oALEs.

The Steamer Ripon City Had . Ter rible Experience at Sea and as Times It Was Feared That She Would Go Down.
 HALIFAX, N. B., Jan. 6.-After battling with gales, cyclones and tidal waves for eighteen days the Furusss line steamer Ripon City, from London, reached port this morning. Her captain and officers state that 1t was one of the hardest ex- perisnoes thsy had ever gone through. From the time of getting clear of land on the other side bad weather commenced and continued almost the entirs trip.
 The day aftsr ohristmas the steamer WAS almost enguifsd by high ssa, which rolled suddsnly down upon her. The captain ays it was without doubt . tidal wave. The water poured over the decks In tons, causing the ship to csreen over until she was laying on her beam ends. She remained in this position SO long that those on board thought she would never right herself. While in this state the cargo shifted and great quantity of pack ages became broken.
 By the time the banks were reached more bad weather was encountered, and on New Years day the steamer ran into c terrific cyclone. It WAS impossible to force her ahead, as 1t was found the strain would be too great on the shaft, the ship then rolling and pitching frightfully.
 This cyclone lasted without abatement until Wednesday, JAnusryS. 8. During all this time the steamer was practically un manageable and at the mercy of the heavy sea which was running. Her deoks were continuously flooded, the waves making . clean sweep over her fore and aft.
 The crew ran great risks in moving about the deck, and several of them mar rowly escaped being washed overheard. One man was caught by e sea and dashed one of his legs being fractured. The steamers sails. which were set In order to steady her, were blown into atoms The Ripon City, after landing her cargo, will proceed to Boston.

THE HAWAIIAN CoMPLICATIoNs.

 day-Another Senate Resolution-

 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-It was learned by representatives In congress who visited the white house and state department today that no special message on Hawaii was likely to be cent to congress before next Thursday. This is due to the fact that telegrsphic information sent by those on the island is very mesgte. It gives bare facts but is not sufficient upon which to base an intelligent communication to congress. It Is expected, however, that the malls will bring very full sdvices by Wednesday and as soon as these have been considered in executive circles their contents will be communicated to congress.

The OUTLOOK.
Starvation Confronts Fisher
men of Labrador.
Fishing and Hunting Were Poor For
Indians and White Men.

MONTREAL, Oct. l7.--Judge Vallee, the
stipcndiary magistrate FOR the north por'
tion of the ST. Lawrence, has returned TO
Quebec after Ave months visit 20 the
Canadian Labrador, the island of Anticosu
and other places He reports that the fish
ing along the Labrador coast has been
very bad, and unless government assist
ance is promptly sent many deaths from
starvation must occur before next winter
is over.
TO aggravate the situation for the fisher
men the price OF Goldfish fell during the
summer from 80 TO % cents quintal.
The distress is already very great, and the
outlook Is rendered more dlscouraging by
the probability that none of the timber
limits there will be worked this year
Indians the Worst Sufferers.
AS for the coast Indians, their condition
Is even worse than that of the fishing col
onies, the yield OF their hunt this year
having been very poor, and the Hudson
Bay companys ports having refused IN
many places To make them further ad-
vances, the result being that many OF tho
Indian families returned to the woods
this fall without provisions.
The reasons assigned by the company
for making no more advances are that the
Indians do not adhere TO their engage
ments to bring their furs to those who ad-
vance them provisions and because they
exchange their furs for strong liquor.
The Indians themselves complain that
their annual hunts have yielded less and
less for some years past, owing 60 the great
forest fires which have ravaged the interior
of the peninsula. During the past sum
mer more than $50 miles of their hunting
grounds were completely swept by fire.
Fishing was fairly good this year around
Anticosti, but the population is falling
of year by year.
