he said:

NOR CREW NOR CAPTAIN
And Vanished in the Night Mists
Shutting Down Upon the Wild
Atlantic Ocean.

HALIFAX, n. S.. Oct. 12.-With all
ssis set and with full cargo, but with
not soul on board, schooner ran away
to sea during the severe storm which has
been raging along the coast for the past
two days, eIuded pursuit by nother YES
sci all day and disai peared in the gloom
at nightfall. still plowiDg an independent
course, under full headway. without any
guiding hand at the tiller or any human
agency TO control her movements.
Somewhere out on the Allan tic the tru-
ant vessel is probably sailing on merrily
yet, with all her canvas spread, rich
prize for the lucky skipper who may over
haul her, and the promising subject for
the fanclful pen OF some future Clark
Russell. The runaway is the schooner
Lord Eldon, whose commanding officer.
before she took to navigating ON her own
account, was Captain Harley. He started
from here for Guysborough on the vessel
with a full crew. When the Lord Eldon
was off Canso Tuesday strong gale was
blowing and nasty sea surgIng. The
Canso neighborhood is a dangerous one
for sailing craft under even most favorable
conditions, hidden rocks abOunding. On
one of these the Eldon was driven. The
weather was thickening every minute and
the vessel hard and fast upon the rock. as
il seemed. Captain Harley deemed it pru.
dent to seek place OF greater safety for
himself and crew. and they put off hur-
rledy, leaving the Eldon with all sails set.
Not long after their departure the wind
shifted, and, under the freshening breeze,
the vessel was twisted off her resting place.
She evidently had not as her captain
had feared, received serious damage below
the water line. She at once turned her
back eastward and began to slash along at
a racing gait.
The schooner Diamond gave chase.
Mile after mile the race was kept up, with
the crewlass Eldon always in the lead.
Once the Diamond drew near enough for
her men to have boarded the runaway, but
the sea was 60 high that the Diamonds
boat was smashed in getting 1t over tt Q
side. Still the chase was continued in the
hope that the sea would subside aEG
enable the Diamond to come alongside.
This hope was not realized, and darkness

last seen she was headed out in the at

RAILROADS AT WAR.
That Old Trouble About Emf.
grant Business.
The Illinois Central Likely to Put
in Its California Rate Via
New Orleans.

CHICAGO. Oct 12-The report that the
Illinois Central had withdrawn from the
Western Passenger Association was some
what premature. The road may withdraw
from the association if it cannot secure
any consideration of its plan to put in a
round-trip rate of 500 from Chicago to
San Francisco, via New Orleans. at the
time the proposal of the Illinois Central
was presented to the meeting of the asso-
citation lines it included the idea that the
West was not entitled to the consideration
it called for, and it was on account of this
that the other lines would not consent to
the rate the Illinois Cen raj pr esented. As
soon as Chairman Caldwell knew where
the trouble lay he succeeded in onvinciug
the Illinois Central people that there had
been inten ton to slight them or their
request for reduced California rate, and
the road finally agreed to hold in abeyance
its notice of withdrawal until a special
meeting of the association lines could be
called to take up in special session its pro-
posal for a cheap rate to California. Moth
ing will be done toward putting in the 500
rate until after the meeting of the assocIa-
ton, but it is very probable that If the re-
quest of the Illinois Central is n OF gran ted d
it will put 10 the rates on its own RESPONSE
hlity.
The advisory clearing house of the
Western Passenger Association was to
have held meeting tomorrow with the
officials of the 500 line in relation to the
schedule of commissions on the emigraut
business, to see If they could not be ad-
justed in manner agreeable to both sides
o. the controversy, but the matter was
finally deferred to the date of the meeting
of the advisory committee with the Trunk
lines in New York next "Wednesday.
There is likely TO be a warm time at the
meeting in New York, as the Trunk lines
| have declared themselves TO the effect thai
| the presence of the orders of the Western
roads in their territory, while source OF
great annoyance to them, has not been the
moving cause which led them to adopt ar
| agreement between the two associations
| in relation to the emigrant traffic. The
| Trunk lines declare that in conducting the
affairs of the association 10 New York the
| joint agent of the two associations whC
routes the emigrant business through Il
the West has been possessed of some of thu
secrets of the Trunk Line Association
which he has given to the Western Pas
senger Association lines. to the NANTES
advantage of the latter lines. The West
ern roads are inclined to uphold their mar
in this. and they claim that nearly all tn,
emigrant business which passes over iht
| Trunk lines is worked up by the Western
lines, and that by giving them all the in
formation in his possession their agen
has done nothing more than his duty
The Trunk lines are far from taking th
same view of the matter. and it is likel,
| that warm time will ensue at the meet
| ing.

Mr.. Hil's nomination was made it for a

recognized as a man who calculates well
before entering a fight. but this check
was only momentary, and the tide has now
set in as strongly as ever in favor of the
Republicans. The action of the Independ-
