A STORMY PASSAGE,

The Schooner SHarry,o Which
 Reached This Port From Nova sco-
 tia Last Friday, Saw Some Tough
 Weather.
 The schooner Harry" Captain J. W. Milton, from Walton, Nova Scotia, with gypsum, for the Connecticut Adamaut and Plaster company, arrived at the oompsny's dock In the Quinnipisc river last Friday after weathering pretty stormy and tenn pestuous passage. The boat is owned by Captain J. E. Pettis of Port Grivelle, Nova Scotia.
 They enjoyed very favorable weather until Cape Ann was reached Sunday mora ing. week ago. Soon a ter daylight 1t be- gan. At this time Cape Ann bore from the boat fifteen miles west north west. The winds were light and southeasterly. As the morning wore on the wind com menced to shift to the east, and by 12 o'clock 1t was blowing strong east by north, and constantly increasing in vio- lence until 1t soon blew perfect gale. At o'clock h the afternoon the foressil and rnainsail were lost and the reef points tore eo"h All tAS bPabACIy uhQ u Dc furled. Sunday night the light sail was blown out of its gaskets and both anchors 1 were washed from the bow clear of the cat head. The big bost was unlocked from | its davits.
 By this time they were cloee on Nantuck- ct shoals, A heavy sea was running and the blindipg snow was blowing SO that the | men could hardly see. In consequence the ship had to be stopped, wheel hard down, | until Tuesday morning at g o'clock, when the sailors got the bearings of the South l shosl lightship, which lies of the west end | of Nantucket shoals. They made the light ship Tuesday night at 10 o'clock. On Wednesday morning they encountered | soon sighted and at 10 o'clock the schooner ran through the race between Little Gull Island and Race rock light.
 | It was then showing hard, but by the ship masters good judgment and thorough | acquaintance with ths water the boat was sailed es far as Faulkner's island, where she was anchored, bearing east by north two miles, in seven fsthoma of water and 1 ninety fsthoms of chain on the sterboard anchor. They left Fsulkner's island Fri day morning under forestay sail and iit and came to the New Haven break water, | where they anchored, and were afterwards lowed up she hsrbor by the tug Rambler. The boat was damaged to the extent oi $500, and had 1t not been for the skill and experience of Captain Milton the crafl
 would undoubtedly have been driven ashore on Nantucket shosls, which is ons of the most dangerous points sailors have to look out for. The first mate was Arthur Lockhsrt and the second Mate Archibald Coxe, both of whom were praised for tn,
 part they played in bringing the shir
 through. The schooner will return to Port
 Grivelle, N. S., this week for repairs.

HoMH RULE WILL WIN.

Justin Mccarthy Says the Irfsh Hold the Balance of Power fin Parliamsa, ana she Government of England fin tho Hollow of Their Hand. LONDON. April 15.-Justin Mccarthy ed. dressed large meeting in London thi. evening under the auspices of the St. Pan. oras branch of the National Liberal associ. ation. He had much to say of the charge made by some snt -Parnellites and all the Psrnellites that home rule was not reoeIv- ing sufficient consideration from the pres ent cabinet.
 '1mmediately after Mir. Gladstone re- sisned," Mr. Carthy said, CT was especially summoned to meet him to discuss the pros poets of home rule. MT. Gladstone had then and has still absolute confidence that the gentlemen who constitute the present cabinet gre faithful to the home rule cause"
 After mentioning Mir. Gladstons's con- viotion that Lord Roeebery was esger to give Ireland all the rights which the old premier had proposed to grant her in the former home rule bill, Mr. Mccarthy said the Irish now had on their side c ministry ss strong as any previous one of the came sge, not even excepting ministries led by MT. Gladstone. Even If the liberal party should lose control of the government the Irish would have the democracy of Eng land, Scotland and Wales behind them and their cause would be safe.
 They must ultimately win. He did not believe that the liberals would fail Ireland, but if they should, the Irish would ct once oppose them and drive them from power at once, for the Irieh held the balance of power in parliament. The tories had come grovellipg, cap in hand, to the Irish, and they might do 50 again, hoping to be enabled by the Irish to get back into office. In any event, the Irish held the government of England in tine hollow of their hands.
 Mir. Mccarthy deprecated public dis cussion of party differences. The majority must govern, he said. On all questions of principle, he added, the party was still united.
