t,om China and Japan by way of Homo
luIu was caught in a typhoon off the
ooast Of Japan on Nov % and was all but
wrecked A wave smashed her deck
house and three life boats.
oThe Peking had been having bad
weather all that morning, and Capt.
Searle remained on the bridge until noon,
when he went aft to his stateroom, leav-
ing the first officer in charge of the vessel.
Tnncbeon was being served, and the
children were already in the dining room
AZ their midday meal, when about 12 20
o'clock a huge wave was seen coming
toward the ship on the starboard beam.
The first officer gave orders to bring the
steamer around, but the immense wave
was travelling with lightning speed.
DELUGEs THE STEAMER.
1T struck the steamer abaft the main
rigging The shock was terrific.
Five life boats We're torn from the
davits and hurled along the deck.
"Tbe water poured over the ship and
into the cabin and dining saloon, flooding
everything. The skylight over the engine
room was smashed and the engine room
deluged with tons of water The life
boats were swept down the deck into the
deck saloon and that structure and Capt
Seare's were smashed into bits and the
wreckage was carried into the engine
room. The roof of the saloon was carried
awsv and the sides followed. Capt.
Seare was caught in the debris and car
ried into the starboard scuppers, bruised
and bleeding. A panic ensued among the
passengers, Several men and women had
been hurt.
A COOL sTEwARDEss.
"The stewardess was in the dining sa-
loon with the children, and her first care
was to protect the little ones. AS soon as
she had them in a safe place, she went to
the assistance of the women. The officers
and passengers went to the aid of the
captain, and extricated him from his per-
ilous position not moment too soon, for
scarcely minute after he had been res
cued the saloon piano was dashed to
pieces right on the spot where he had
been thrown.
IN the cabin the water was waist deep,
and in the engine room Chief Engineer
Stewart and his men were up to their
necks in water. The fate of the ship de
pended on these men, and although they
knew that another sea meant the found
ering of the Picking with the loss Of all
hands, they stuck to their posts"

TALKING OF THE TARIFF.
The Ways and Means Committee
Wrestling With Amendments.


Washington, Jan. 14.-The real work on
when the bill will be read by sections
and be open to amendment under the five
minute rule. From now on the bill will
be in constant danger Of amendment, and
the House democratic leaders have urged
upon all their colleagues the absolute ne
cessity OF their continual presence until
the final vote is taken. Chairman Wilson
said tonight: "It is of the utmost inn
portance that every democratic member
be present in the House from this time
until the passage Of the tariff bill. Thus
far the discussion has been limited 10 gen
eral debate, but from this time forward,
the actual voting on amendments will
proceed from day TO day. II will be neces-
sary to maintain quorum, as the absence
a any time of SUFFICIENT mum Der for a
vote might involve the loss Of a day or
two In the consideration of the bill. What
is of more consequence is that the amend
ing of the bill should be made while the
friends Of the measure and the majority
of the House are present to express their
preferences IL would be most unfortunate
IL amendments were made from day to
day through the absence Of a sufficient
number Of democratic members TO pre-
vent them. For this reason, it is essen
tial that the democratic majority
should attend the sessions from tomorrow
until the debate closes, as it win be the
only means of avoiding the distortion
of the entire measure"

STIRRED UP THE VETERANS.
A Deolination to Invite Union Veter
ans Leads to a Resignation.

New York, Jan. 14.-A special to the
Times, from New Orleans, says: "Ex-
Congressman H. Dudley Coleman, al
though gallant confederate veteran, has
been making matters lively for comrades
of the Army Of Northern Virginia of late.
Recently he was given a vote of censure
for public structures on the management
of the Soldiers home

MELLo's OUTLOOK DARK.
The Insurgents Seem to be Losing
Hope and Determi nation.

Copyright, 1884, by the Associated Press }
Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 14.-News was re-
ceived in this city to-day from the south
of ca character most encouraging to the
Brazilian government and disheart ening
to the insurgent admiral. 1t was
to the effect that the long expected and
much relied upon reinforcements
from Santa Catherinalare unlikely to give
anything like prompt assistance to their
fellow insurgents who are now in Rio
harbor. In fact, itIlooks now as if the
revolutionary leaders at Santa Catherine
would be unable to lend any aid to Ad-
miral de Cana.
MELLo's ILLNESS DISASTROUS.
The serious illness of Admiral de Mello
on board the Republica has had an appar-
emily disastrous effect upon the insurgent
force in the southern part of the republic.
In Rio Grande do Sui the insurgents have
raised the siege of Bage and have left that
city in triumphant possession of the goY-
ernment garrison. In a number of other
engagements in the south the revolution
lists have suffered defeat, and many of de
Mellos men have been wounded or
killed.
THE OUTLOOK DARK FOR THE REBELS.
Unless Admiral de Mello rapidly re-
covers from his illness aud is able by his
presence to re-animate his men, the out
look for the insurgents is very dark in
deed Discomfort is said to prevail to a
large extent in their ranks and deser-
tions are said to be numerous. Fever is
also thinning the insurgent army. Unless
something be quickly done Admiral de
Mello will lose fully one-hah of his en-
tire force in the south.
PEIxoTo TO BE MORE ACTIVE.
1t is very probable that this news will
lead to greater activity than ever on the
part of President Peixoto, and that bat
tie between his troops and the insurgenJ
squadron and forts of a decisive charac-
ter will be fought within very short
time. The inhabitants of Rio are heartily
tired of the war, and the epidemic now
raging here makes the desire for the
restoration of peace all the stronger on
the part of the citizens generally.
PRINCE WITH THE REBELS.
Paris, Jan. 14-The Temps recurs to-
day to the statement often denied, that
Prince August of Saxe-Coburg, Dom
Pedro's grandson, has gone to Brazil.
''The Rio Tempo of Dec. 81 relates, says
the Temps, "that witness swore before
a commissioner that he recognized that
prince, disguised as pilot, on the steamer
Chaucer on Dec. 49, The witness said
that the prince had joined Admiral de
Gama's warship Jupiter"
MORE FIGHTING AT RIO.
London, Jan. IA dispatch dated at
Rio, yesterday says: "The insurgents on
Cobras island, supported by the launch
Guanabara, yesterday bombarded the
government shore batteries killing
a few soldiers. but otherwise doinS
little harm. The insurgent warship
Aquidaban, in entering the harbor last
evening opened fire ON Pionta de Aroia.
An engagement followed and the in
surgents were defeated. The insurgents
are preparing for general attack. Ad-
miral Mello is not aboad the Aquidaban,
but it is reported that he is on the Re-
publica. Yellow fever is spreading in
the city.n

LOUISIANA B0LTERS.

A special dispatch from New Or
leans, La, yesterday, concerning
the Democratic boilers of that
state, says:
The Democrats who bolted from
the Democratic party and great
many of the old line Republicans
held a meeting today in Plaquem-
inc parish at Point -Ala-Hache, near
the home of ex-Gov. Warmoth.
There were about 300 boilers, Re
publicans and negroes, and about
100 Democrats in the meeting. The
meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing the situation in sugar,
but turned out to be a packed Re
publican meeting, gotten up by the
boilers in order to organize the
party in the First Congressional
district, Two special trains were
run down from New Orleans and
the ride to friends was free. The
meeting was lively. James Wilkin.
son. brother of the collector of the
port and a boiling planter, address
ed the meeting, coming out square
for the Republican party. He also
drew up resolutions adopted in the
meeting endorsing Republicanism
Ex-Naval Officer Kernochan, who
served in that capacity under
Cleveland's former administration
and who is boiling planter, pre-
sided Republican speeches were
made by State Senator Estopina
and George Mann, both sugar
planters, and George Anderson is
mentioned in connection with the
race for Congress against the reg
ular Democratic nominee, EX-Gov
Warmoth has so far kept away
from the meetings. The action O
the planters recently held in thii
city was endorsed, and the meeting
adjourned without taking furthei

The Greatest Of Them All.

AS circus day approaches, inter
est in the coming exhibition of the
Great Lemen Bros. shows, (succes-
sors to W. W. Cole) which will ex-
hibit here this season, increases,
and the excitement in young and
old American circles expand The
reports of the big shows success
this year have been so general, and
the leading features have produced
50 great a sensation elsewhere, that
public interest has been aroused to
a greater extent than usual, and
the big show is certain to coin
money. 1t must always be a source
of satisfaction to an audience when
it feels it is getting an equivalent
for its money, but when the feat
ures-both in the menagerie and
ring-are out of the established
'rut' of the average circus, and
develops into 4 series Of surprising
novelties, any one Of which would
constitute a feature" strong
enough to draw the public, an au-
dience must become enthusiastic in
its pleasures. This seems to be the
effect wherever the Lemen Bros.
have been this season, and that no
doubt will be the effect here.
Among the new features the most
prominent will be Rajah, the larg-
est elephant that walks the earth.
The free exhibition on the show
grounds after the parade is said to
be the best ever given. We expect
to see an enormous crowd on show
day. Will exhibit at Texarkana, on
Thursday, Sept. 27, at the reduced
price of 80 cents admission.

BADLY SCARED GUESTS.

The amusing manner in which
the guests of a popular st. Louis
hotel we're wrought up to a state of
almost hysterical excitement, and
made to dream, for several nights
in successession, of being blown sky
ward by dynamite bombs, is thus
Interestingly told by one of the city
papers;
There was a small sized panic in
the rotunda of Hurst's Hotel the
other morning, when a heavy-set
sunburned man carrying a small
brown hand satchel somewhat star
tied the clerk and other persons in
the rotunda, by loudly demanding
an immediate audience with the oc-
cupant of room No 303, at the same
time bringing the grip
in a careless manner and with
a decided "bang" to the marble
counter.
A tinkling sound emerged from
the grip, which gave evidence that
its contents consisted of some kind
of metal. The air became thick
with the visions of dynamite bomb
throwers, and the clerk shifted ner-
vously about back of the counter.
However, under the existing cir
cumstances he displayed wonder
fully cool nerve and instead of show
ing the irate stranger to the room,
he asked him the name of the per-
son he was seeking. A perfect rain
of short, jerky, somewhat perplex-
ing CALCULATIONS on the part of the
mysterious stranger followed,
81 don't know what his name, but

again the contents of the grip rat
tied, as it was brought to the coun-
ter, for the 18th consecutive time.
''They can't fool me-" and the
stranger left as suddenly as he
had come. He snatched a card
from the clerks hand, which he
had previously presented to him,
1t was several minutes until those
present could recover themselves.
1t was the general opinion that the
stranger was mentally unbalanced
