FIVE BARGEs DREAK LOOSE IN A.
STORM.

The Tug Unable 10 Get Alongside
the Barges TO Rescue Those ON
Board on Account of the Fury OF
the Wind and Sea-rhe Air FiIted
with BIinding snow and the Es-
cnpe of the Tug Itself n Very
Narrow One.
New London. Conn, Jan. 2s.-The worst
disaster that has happened in years in
Long Island sound occurred last night
and became known this morning when tha
big tug Sea King. Capt. olmstead, ar-
rived in this harbor in a thick fog. The
Sea King left Hammonds Flat Thurs
day afternoon about 8 o'clock with fair
weather and light west winds. She was
bound to Providence and Newport with
five barges, all but one of the feet being
consigned to Providence. The barges
were coal-laden and carried $500 TONS
The Sea King came through TO the raco
yesterday afternoon about o'clock with
a light west wind prevailing and clear
weather. which continued till nearly II
O'Clock. at which time the tow was six
miles west of Point Judith. The wind
shifted to the eastward and at u o'cloclz
had Increased to a gale from east-south-
east. The sea was terrific. running with
tremendous force and making a clean
breach over the sturdy tug, flooding her
cabin, and the air was filled with binding
snow, so that It was impossible to see
the length OF the craft. Capt. Olmstead
and Pilot William Dodd were at the wheel
of the Sea King They headed the tug
off shore and she pulled away at the
long tow behind her until o'clock. This
storm was as fierce then as ever. 1t was
then seen that the tow had broken apart
and that the barges We're going adrifb
and several We're seen TO founder. This
head barge Of the tow foundered about
O'Clock this morning, and then the I'M
mense hawser that held her was cut Tbs
tug lay In the vicinity several hours to
rescue any people aboard the barges- one
man and a boy were taken from the
barge Nettie before she went down, bub
TO save another life was impossible. for
the tug could not get along side Of the
barges nor dared she turn from holding
into the sea. She did finally turn, ana
took off the crew OF the Nettie.
Twelve lives were lost by the disasters
four women and eight men. AS soon as
the Sea King took of the Nettie's crew
and IL was apparent that no other lives
could be saved, the tug ran for the harbor
TO escape the tremendous fury OF the
storm. She had ,labored heroically to
make headway against the wind and sea-
but no power could enable her to do more-
The names of the lost are: Capt Frank
Hoffman, Mrs. Frank Hoffman, Miss
Hoffman, and a deck hand, all of the
barge Crocus crew; Capt Hartshoe, and ~
deck hand of the barge Eagle: Capt
Harry Tucker. and deck hand of the
barge Albert NJ, the captain OF the barge
Bingie his wife and deck hand. Their
names could not be ascertained on the
Sea King when she arrived here. The sea
outside is terrific to-day and dense fog
prevails. Captains Olmstead and Dood
say their experience was the worst they
ever encountered and but few tugs could
have withstood the drubbing the Sea
King got.

been accomplished and has passed into
history.
The legislation enacted, while not an
ideal measure nor all that was expected
by many Of US. has substantially settled
the tariff question. Another general re-
vision is not contemplated nor desired in
the near future. although few modih-
cations may be proposed in conformity
with democratic pledges. But. aside from
these limited exceptions. the legislation
has come TO stay.
II is believed that the new law after
a reasonable trial will in its general tariff
features, commend itself 10 the approval
of the American people, and be allowed.
unless existing conditions shall radically
change, 60 remain as the settled policy of
the government.
Mr.. HIN devoted a few minutes TO a
sarcastic review OF the reform" move
ment that now has possession of the city
of New York, and in conclusion said:
Let us be not discouraged nor dis
heartened by recent events. The tide will
turn again very soon. Let us get into
our party organizations and act let US re-
organize II necessary; let us build them
up and strengthen: let us stand for prin-
ciple rather than mere expediency; let us
cut loose from corruptions OF every sort
II is a time for unity, for patience, for
courage"
The next speaker was Robert y. Roos-
welt, who made an exhaustive speech
upon the currency question. He said
that most Of the troubles through which
the country had passed had been due to
its defective currency.

London, Jan. 26.-The Central News cor

peace ENJOYS, with their suit, started for
Japan to-day.
The correspondent of the Central News
at Toxic telegraphed as follows: Gen.
Nodseu, in command of the Japanese
forces at Hal Ching. sends a dispatch that
upon the night of the 22nd, expecting TO
be re-attacted by the Chinese armies at
Loo Yang, he arranged his defense in
such a manner as to draw the enemy
within 900 meters of his battle line. His
ruse proved successful and the Fifth in
fantry brigade with three batteries, sud
denly attacked the enemy's right flank.
The surprise was complete and the Chi
nese forces scattered in great confusion.
The reserve japanese infantry attacked
the left flank of the retreating Chinese,
who were fleeing towards the northeast.
Their panic increased as they fed and
there were many prisoners captured.
From statements of prisoners it is learned
that the Tartar Gen. Chang Chung was in
command of the Chinese forces, and that
their force consisted OF 12,0Oe infantry

WINGS OF rHE GOLDEN EAGLE.
The Exports for the Day Foot Up
Little Less Than Expected.

New York, Jan. 26.-The steamship Lain,
which arrived this morning. brought 75o,
OOOf. in gold consigned to F. Heidelbach.
Ickleheimer & Co. and 7OO,O00f. in gold to
Hoskier. Wood & Co.
An evening paper publishes a dispatch
from London saying: THE Bank Of Eng
land has reduced the buying price of
American eagles one-half penny 10 76s,
8 led. This. although not checking the
gold stream from the United States. will
possibly tend to divert it from the eont-
nent."
The gold exports to-day according to
corrected returns. will foot up $665o,OOO,
Arbuckle Bros. having deeided'at the last
moment to reduce their shipment 10 $780,,
600. OF the total given above, S3,039, 900 was
forwarded by the steamship La Bour-
gogne, and SS,s50O0O by the Lucania.
The total exports for the week reached
7,150000. and the largest on record were
%,975,000 for the week ending June %, 1894.
Foreign bankers believe that the Lain.
on Tuesday next. will take out about
coo. This morning, Ladenburg, Thai
man & Co. withdrew S2500C0 gold from
the sub-treasury and the Bank of New
York has S25o00O. The Philadelphia mint
has forwarded $5,oO0,OO0 gold coin to the
sub-treasury.
1t is announced that foreign insurance
companies who make a speciality of insur-
ing gold shipments have reduced the rate
to co cents per $1,000. Not long ago. 81. % per
$1,000 was charged. This is quite important
to shippers who have to do the closest
kind of figuring to get profit 1t is stated
that under the law all payments for gold
bars sold by the treasury must be made
in gold coin. The purchasers of the ST.
100000 bars yesterday presented legal ten
ders and treasury notes. got the gold
coin, and then paid it back for the bars.
The Withdrawals of gold for the week
We're nearly S40O0,OOO of which a little
over 50 per cent. were forwarded. 1t is sur
missed that the balance has found its
way into the vaults OF the national banks,
and out of town correspondents.

DEBs' DEFENSE.
His Lawyer Arraigns the General
Managers and the Court.

Managers and the Court.
Chicago, Jan. 26-The jury in the Debs
case was sworn in at the beginning of
this mornings session, after which As
sistant District Attorney Milchrist opened
for the government. conhning himself to
a review of the evidence which has been
prepared.
He was followed by Attorney c. S.
Darrow, who arraigned the officers of the
government for what he called a per-
secution of the directors of the American
Railway Union. He accused Mr.. Milchrist
with being a paid tool of the railroads,
instead of representing the government
in this case. on the issue of this case,
which had become historical, he declared,
depended the entire fabric of personal
liberty. He did not think even the court,
whose duty it would be to expound the
law in this case, knew rightly what that
law was, and continuing, said: You will
find when you know the men accused of
these crimes that the lowest one of them
is infinitely higher than the best of the
general managers. They did not have TO
hold their meetings in secret as did the
general managers, nor did they have to
have a private wire on which to send
their kilograms. Everything they did was
open and above board and do not believe
the minions of the railroads will be able
to convict them of any crime whatso-
ever"

STRIKE or Tue wEAvERs.
They Are Confident of Victory
Claims of the Firms.

Philadelphia, Jan. 26-The strike OF the
ingram carpet weavers employed by c.
II. Masland & Sons has virtually closed
the mill. which employs about 800 people.
The employees are confident of winning
the fight. They say the firm has many
orders on hands, which II must hll or lose
the trade
Messrs. Masland take quite a different
view Of the strike. They make the fol-
lowing statement: Our weavers made a
demand for uniform advance Of a quar-
ter Of n cent per yard, which. owing to
the condition OF the business. we were
unable to concede. Our weaVers made
good wages at the prices we paid. Good,
bad and indifferent, they averaged 81
per week. and good weavers could make
Sl4 and SO in the week. with ingram car
pet selling at a lower price than ever
was known before"
IL Is said that the ingram carpet manu-
facturers are a unit in their refusal to
concede an advance OF wages atthe pres
ent time, having decided not to do so
