By tha Associated Press
SAN Francisco. Dec. 16.-As The days
60 by, smaller and smaller become the
chances for the safe return Of the
steamers Keweenaw and Montserrat.
Roeenfeld & Co. still cling to the belief
that the former vessel will turn up all
right, but the pilots. the sea captains
and the tug boat men all believe that
there is no hope for the black -birder or
the Pacific improvement compsny's col
lier Montserrat,
Captain 7. P. H. Tobiteland. at one
time the owner Of the Montseratt, said
that he did not entertain much hope for
the arrival OF either the Montserrat or
the keweenaw. "Simply because they
would have been heard from before this
had they only been damaged" he
added.
The tug Vigilant has gone outside the
heads with five days provisions and will
remain at sea long enough to make q
search. IL ie probable that either one
OF the two steamers has broken her
ehait or has been otherwise disabled
and is drifting helplosely about on the
ocean.
Orders to the cutter Carwin have not
yet been received from the secretary OF
the navy, but it is likely that the vessel
will be etarted ont in day or two.
The Rush is now somewhere off the
northern coast looking for the remains
OF the Ivknhoe. She may learn come

aged, the result of two terrible hours of
Oape Flattsry last night. She was coal
laden. bound from Nansimo to San
Francisco, and paesed out at 10 80 last
night.
Once clear OF land she wne in o raging
gale. The eea swept over her dec9s,
and for a timo it was feared it would
extingnish the fires. An effort was
made to bring her about, but
she refused to answer the helm
anu those aboard feared for time that
she would be completely at the mercy OF
the waves. Every man in the crew was
called to duty. The ship was finally
brought about and after two hours was
back inside OF the Tatoosh light.
Captain Holmes was not asleep for 4S
hours and is almost prostrated. He said
this evening that the ship was con-
stantly under water and that the gale
was the worst he ever wac in. One OF
mind the vessel would plunge into sea
and 90 down. The vessel will be sur
veyed tomorrow. Any vessel that vas
off the cape last night must have been
exceptionally seaworthy to ride the
ctorm. Several large steamers reported
overdue have arrived.

SAVANNAH Co.. Dec. 16 The most

come to breathing pause. Two factional

for the mayorslty. the election taking
place in January. 1t is ths first use of

no one except those who have paid all

scramble at first. and to pitched battles
daily between iactiona for positions in
line at the tsx collectors Office.
The collector could only issue about
200 receipts day, aud as the regsira
tion closed Saturday. it was inevitable
that many citizens would be shut out
from voting. The two factions hired
two gangs OF toughs, each numbering
about 100, and including the most des-
perate whites and negroes in the city.

Fort ScoTT, Kan, Dec. 16.-The resi-
dents of Bronson and vicinity, few
miles west OF this city, are wrought up
over the fact that a rumber Of their
citizens have been swindled out of cas- b,
stock and property to the extent OF at
least t25 900 by three sharpers who
proiessed to be the inventors OF wash.
ing compound for which they claimed
wonders and for which they were selling
state and territorial rights. They came
TO Bronson about two months ago and
claimed to be brothers. giving their
names as Diff. from Little Rock. Alter
remaining in the little city several days
the three men rented an Office and soon
became acquainted with the leading
business men end citizens OF the little
place.
They explained the merits of their
mysterious washing compound and
soon succeeded in working up a great
interest in the fluid. Bankers. farmers,
merchants and mechanics all caught
the money making fever and wanted to
purchase territory in which TO sell the
labor saving preparation and 90 con-
tracts were closed in all parts OF the
city and the closely surrounding coun.
try. Many prominent business men
and other reputable citizens
and farmers secured territory,
paying for it In mortgages on farms and
in money. The eharpers were very
accom- mmodating and were willing to take
any kind OF property in exchange for
their territorial rights. For the state
OF Iowa they secured from a bank cash
ier several blooded horses and jacks,
among which were the wellknown race.
horsea Dick Huntington and Mollie
Brown.
Michigan was secured by . jewelry
firm, who traded their entire stock OF
jewelry valued ct $2500.
Other etates. counties and territories
were secured by other citizens for vari-
GUS sums, ranging from 500 to $1,000.
A few days ago the three swindlers
gathered together their property, con.
sisting OF some $11.000 in cash. frat
mortgages on some of the best farms in
three carloads OF 6ne horses, and with
out notice left the country. The stock
was consigned to themselves at Little
Rock and from this it is sup
posed they are now in that city.
Many Of those who bought territory re-
fuse to believe they have been swim died,
and think they have fortune in sight,
but the more conservative victims now
see that they have been played by pro-
fessional windlers and that the territory
they have purchased has already been
sold several times before.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dec. 16.-The Leader

M. Clay to Senator Hodges, thanking
the latter for his indignant protest in
the Lexington Observer against the dis
creditable treatment Of the illustrious
abolitionist BY certain newspapers on
the occasion OF his recent marriage to .
15-ysar-old girl. Senator Hodges eds
torislly reviewed General Clay's won
derful career and declared: "Had he
lived in the days of the Roman empire
he would have passed on to history as
the noblest Roman OF them ALL"
General Clay says: I'm marrying o
young girl and a peasant. but exer-
cissd the privilege allowed the humblest
citizen OF the republic to spend my
money as it peases me and to rule my
own household, and nothing more.
"Ths disparity OF ages is my own bus.
iness and nobody else's. My regard for
the physical. as we'll as the moral laws
OF the nation, places me beyond the
cavil OF inferior souls who criticise me.
After all, love and sensualism or passion
are as far apart az night and day. Pas
sion Furnishes and may degrade, but
love refines and elevatss. Love is i'm.
mortal. My experience in life shows
me that young girl may love an old
man intensely, for love 10 OF the soul I;
passion OF the body"
He rests his fame upon the founding
OF common schools in Kentucky; free.
dom of speech and press; liberation of
blacks; preventing Russia from joining
all the other European powers during
the civil war; promotion from the rsnks
