Church of the Messish.

Word to the Few' was the theme Of Rev. W. F. Dickermans discourse yesterday morning in the Church Of the Messiah. A large and appreciative audieHce greatly enjoyed the earnest and eloquent words of the speaker. N In the evening the topic was: "The Motherhood of God" The n,atchless tenderness of the Infinite Father was dMelt upon and the great love where with He loves His children was illus trated by the all absorbing and un- abaing sympathy and love which q n1other has for her child. which after all but faintly portrays the infinite of Ills fender words and ever watchful care. The members of the Church of the MSssiah are we'll pleased with their new pastor and cctaAdently expect much good work in the future under hls authorizations. to

 Chatham. Mass. Dec. ao.-A three masted schooner was sighted or to the eastward at daybreak this morning. It resembled drifting mass of ice. The vessel. which had lost mainmast, mizzen topmast and headsails. was ap- parently in bad condition and was boarded by Captain Doane and crew of the Chatham Life station. She proved to be the schooner Allianza of Turks Island. from Halifax, for New York, with lumber. The poor fellows aboard had been through terrible experi- ence.
 Captain Glass reported that he left Halifax last Sunday and was caught in terrific northeast gale and snow storm early Thursday morning. The schooner was driven before the gale
 eASss Soii. uc IOTtIIaBt DTOke on below the cross trees and at 1 o'clock the topmast went carrying the mizzen- top. The falling spars, blocks and rig ging, with the fearful gale, brought dismay to all hands.
 After daylight the crew succeeded in gettting stays rigged to keep the fore mast and mizzenmast standing. The mate was knocked overheard and mar rowly escaped drowning. but he suc- ceeded in saving himself by clinging to the rigging alongside until he was pulled aboard. The gale shifted to the westward with freezing tempera- ture, and the vessel was driven off to sea. The crew managed to keep her above water till the weather moderated, although a terrible cross sea was rum ming.
 The members of the crew were frost bitten. They made things as secure as possible and worked in under land, arriving off Chatham this morning af- ter terrible experience. About 200, 900 laths were lost from the deck. The crew was assisted in clearing away the ice and making repairs by Captain Doane and his crew and the schooner proceeded westward this afternoon, the captain refusing to take tug. There is no insurance on the vessel or cargo

CHANG IS OUsTED.
He Has Been Succeeded by Liu Kun Nj in
 Chief Command,

He Has Been Succeeded by Liu Kun Nj in Chief Command, London, Dec. 30.-A Central News dis patch from Pekin says that Liu Kun Vi, viceroy of Liang Kiang, has been appointed to the chief command of all
 the Chinese forces, busting Lii Hung | Chang. The Central News correspondent at Antong telegraphs: - Details from Kung Wa Sai confirm the first reports that the recent battle was fought with great obstinacy. The Chinese were strongly entrenched They had eleven field pieces and some ma chine guns, and were well handled.
 The Japanese charges were repulsed
 with heavy loss. Their reserves from Haitchhong, who had experienced great difficulty on the march owing to the snow> then joined them and they
 made another charge with hurrahs and shouts of victory. This time they car ried everything.
 The Japanese admit that they had 450 killed and wounded, and say that the Chinese had 300 killed and wounded
 The snow prevented-a successful pur- suit of the retreating Chinese. The villagers of Juaining drove away the Chinese soldiers who sought refuge there. They said they preferred to be governed by the Japanese, who had captured the village previously.
 A dispatch to the Central News says: General Noduz, who commands in Man. churia, reports that the natives have been greatly influenced by the clemency of the Japanese and that many resi- dents who had fled from their homes are returning with their families and are willingly assisting the invaders. Markets have been opened. Japanese currency circulates freely and the Jap- anese administration is working well

 It was twenty minutes after the alarm sounded before water could be obtain ed. and the fire had gained tremendous headway. Even when water was ob- tained the force was slight and the streams would not reach the upper sto- ries.
 The main building was of brick, four stories over the main floor, and occu- pied a space 100 feel square. The an- mex covering the other half of the block was saved. with the exception of por- tions of the top story. The Broadway wall collapsed at midnight and one fire man was slightly injured. e-s
 The Montgomery street wall also fell and there were several narrow escapes. The Montgomery street wall was with In fifty feet of the New York Central railroad station and 1t was feared for some time that that structure would fall a prey to the flames.
 The loss on the building is estimated at s175.0o0: fully insured. Herty & Moore. the proprietors of the >tel, place their loss at $s5.0Oo. Their insurance is $5O,000.
 The firemen had much difficulty in fighting the fire on account of the nar- row streets and electric wires.
 The guests of the hotel lost almost everything they had. This was the first serious fire that had visited this famous hostelry, which has achieved national reputation as the scene of some of the fiercest political battles that have been witnessed in this coun- try

URGED TO STAND FIRM.

Social Democratic Deputies Receive Words of Encouragement.
 Berlin, Dec. 30.-The vorwaerts says that the social democratic deputies are recetvins frun aif trfss7fsrtArand telegrams of sympathy and encourage ment. They are urged to stand firm against the arlti-socialistic bill and the emperors attempt to muzzle them in the reichstag. William Liebknecht, the social democratic leader, said Friday that he was confident the anti-socialisG campaign would eventually help his party. 4---.--. .a fss
 What giant like Bismarck failed to accomplish" he said, "Lippiputians like Hohenlohe. Miquel and Koeller will find utterly impossible. cannot believe that the emperor will risk such a coup as the dissolution of the reichs- tag and the abolition of universal suf- frage, but the social democrats are prepared for any event. I feel confl- dent that the anti-socialist bill will not pass in it's present form"
 Liebkneckt spoke also of the govern ment's proposal to prosecute the social democratic deputies who refused to cheer for the emperor. The defeat of this proposal, he said, was hard blow to the government and the blow would be repeated if the chancellor should try again. To persist in such a course would bring the government into direct and bitter conflict with the reichstag. Whatever the government did now. whether 1t advanced or retreated, the situation was bound to be of great ad- vantage to the social democracy.
 All social democratic prejudice aside it is felt that the present i'll nature of the South German states has become a potent factor with which the emperor must reckon at once. While they view with jealousy and fear the new attempts at Prussian dominant the emperor will not dare to exert much pressure or resort to a dissolution. It is under stood that the king of saxony gave the emperor some very strong advice to this effect during the recent hunt ct Koenigs- -Wusterhausen A
