SCANDAL AT ETON,

Expulsion of Twenty Students for
"Grossly immoral Practices."
London, Dec. ga profound SEN
sation has been created this week by
the disclosure that, after an investi-
cation covering II period of over six
weeks. the authorities and faculty Of
EtOn college have decided upon the ex-
pulsion of no less than 20 Of the stu
dents, ranging in ages from II to ~
years, for grossly immoral practices.
Not hint of the scandal. that has
covered a score of families with
shame and disgrace at this festive sea-
son, has been made public in the Eng
lish press, but this is due only to the
fact that extraordinary pressure has
been brought to bear both upon the
college authorities and the publishers
Of the metropolitan papers, to spare
the young men concerned in order that
their entire life may not be blasted by
public knowledge Of their infamy. 1t
can he stated, however, that each and
every one of those involved belong to
the upper classes" At least three
are scions Of the nobility and heirs to
distinguished titles. while two others
are understood to be related to fani-
lies whose heads are to-day classed as
statesmen.

Probable Fate Of the Steamer With
Her 100 People.
Port Townsend, Wash. Dec. 25.-
The fate of the Oriental steamship
Stratllnevis and 100 people aboard
still remains mystery. 1t has been
thirty-four days since she was last
spoken to. and was then about 800
miles west of Cape Flattery, under
two small legs-o mutton sails. making
her way slowly eastward. Since then
two Of the widest storms Of the sea-
son have been experienced in the
North Pacific. The British flagship
Royal Arthur, with her powerful
search lights covering distance Of
fifteen miles on either side, put in a
week cruising along the northern
coast without discovering any signs Of
he lost steamer. The only other
steamer prosecuting the search is the
Danube of Victoria. The general Opin-
ion is that the ship has gone on the
southeast coast of Alaska. In that
event the suffering and fatalities OF
the sealing schooner George H. White.
which went ashore on Wood island
last April. when eleven Of her crew
froze to death in the snow, will un-
doubtedly be repeated. The continued
absence of the Danube is the only
hope held out for the safety of the pas
sengcrs and crew of the steamer.
