ONE OF THE HEIRS TO SI5o, ,O0O.
David J. Porter of This City Will Receive $2O,0O0 From the Estate of a Brother

David J. Porter of This City Will Receive
 Deceased in the West.
 David w. Porter of Washington Place, this city, Tecently found that he was one of several heirs to the $150. .0G0 estate of his bachelor brother, John S. Porter, who lived ill California, and died sometime ago. MT. Porter 1earn- ed of his brothers death about year after it occurred and then secured Judge Cable to look out for his inter- ests in the estate. The other heirs, one of whom lives in Australia, and another in Ireland, also intrusted their claims to Judge Cable. The judge went west a short time ago and succeeded in look ing up the property. He found that John s. Porter had been engaged in business. with ex-Governor Waterman and That about S70,000 of the estate was in San Francisco, while the remain der was scattered in various parts of the state, all paying property.
 Judge Cable succeeded in obtaining clear titles to most of the property and nothing now remains but to divide up the estate among the several heirs ac- cording to law. MT. Porter's share will be at least $2G, 900, if not more, and will undoubtedly be most acceptable as his worldly possessions are by no means great.

STILL FAST ON THE ROCKS EFFORTS TO PULL OFF THE SPREE
 UNSUCCESSBUL.

Tugs Went to Her Assistance But They
 Could Do Nothing on Her Behalf as tho
 Eide Was Not High Enough at the Time.
 Southampton. Dec. 19-The North German Lloyd steamship Spree, Cap tain Willingerod, from New York on December 10 for this port and Bremen, went aground on the Warden ledge, near Totland bay, Isle of Wight, at 5:1o d. m. to-day.
 The passengers were landed here. Those destined for Bremen and thence to other parts of the continent will await a reasonable time the floating of the Spree, and re-embarl on her it she should be hoated.
 A tender has brought here the mails and specie that were on board of the stranded steamer Spree.
 One of the passengers when ques- toned as to the details of the strand ing said that the shock when the Spree struck was distinctly felt throughout the ship. For a little time there was some excitement and the passengers anXiously inquired whether there was any danger. Their fears were soon al- layed by the officers who explained that neither the vessel nor those on board of it were in the slightest dam ger.
 When the Spree struck she was in charge of local pilot Her engines we're immediately reversed and driven at full speed astern in an attempt to pull her off. She held hard, however, and it could not be perceived that she was astern for any appreciable dis tance. The tide was rapidly ebbing and as the water lower it was seen that the efforts to get the steamer at1oat would be futile until the water became deeper. The vessel had struck on a rock broadside on, between her fore funnel and stern. On the return of the tide tonight five tugs rendered as- sistance, but the water did not rise sufficiently high to remove the vessels list and it was found impossible to float her. It is feared that she will re- main fixed where she is until the high tides a fortnight hence unless the re- l n1oval of her cargo assists in the efforts to float her.

WILL REFUSE TO THE LAST
REBELS DO NOT SURRENDER AND COMMIT WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER.

Turks at Zeitoun Killed All the Military
 Men Detailed The,e-Au Sorts of Dep
 relations Were Committed on Women
 and Children.
 Washington, Dec, 19-The Turkish le- gation received from the sublime porte the following: You will please give the widest publicity to the following tele- gram sent to the minister of war on the 17th by General Moustafa Remzi Pasha:
 "The leading men who were. sent from Marash to give counsel to the in6ur- gents at Zeitoun came to-day to see me and to state that the rebels will refuse to the last to surrender and that they slaughtered three days ago all the mil itary men detained at Zeitoun with the exception of the colonel the adjutant major and the Caimakam of this dis trict. Colonel Ali Bey, after having re- pulsed the insurgents assembled at the village of Mukhal situated at one hours distance from Zeitoun, took po- sition opposite the point that we have occupied in front of Zeitoun. To-mor- row the town of Zeitoun will be sur rounded from all sides"
 The rebels committed with the last month all sorts of depredations. They burned Mussulman villages. plundered and robbed their belongings, cut the breasts of Mussulman women and mur- dered young children. The fact that the rebels, besides their unparalleled atrocities, have also slaughtered mill tary prisoners that they still persist in refusing to submit to the counsels giv- en them repeatedly and through many channels, and also that they increase day by day their bloody deeds, proves that they will stick to the end to their criminal rebellion.
 Consta ntinople, Dec. 19.-Dispatches from the interior predict a renewal of the massacres unless the powers in tervene to prevent. The distress aris- ing from tyranny is as bad as ever.
 The Armenian insurgents at Zeitour have imprisoned the delegates who were sent to treat for their surrender, be- lieving them to be Turkish spies. Turk ish troops have occupied the last de file leading to Zeitoun and a battle is daily expected. The United States cruiser Marblehead arrived at Mersino MT. Christie, a missionary, and his family have arrived at iMersino seeking protection.

IacI,t0 the Gerry Society.

New York, Dec. 19.-Josephine E. James, aged ten, who vas adopted by Ernest P. Clark of East Fourth street three weeks ago, was re-committed to the care of the Gerry society in Essex Market today Clark is a widower and lives alone, and it is not thought proper that he should have a girl who is not related to him sleeping in the same room. It is probable that the girl will go back to Mrs. John Belden of Bristol, Conn, with whom she lived from the time her mother died in 1888 until Clark secured possession of her through an advertisement.

THE LATEST GOSSIP,
MT. Henderson Will Not be Chairman of
 Appropriations.


 Washington, Dec. 19.-The latest con- Gressonal gossip tonight asserts that MT. Henderson of Iowa will not be the chairman of the appropriations com mittee, of which he is the senior re- publican member. If this be true-and it is apparently well founded-there is little doubt that the position will go again to Mr. Cannon of Illinois, who held the chairmanship in the Fifty-irst congress. It is not unlikely that Speak, CT Reed, in order to compensate MT Henderson will place him upon the committee on rules and bestOw the chairmanship of good committee upon him besides.
 Previous statements that MT. Dingley of Maine will be the next chairman of the committee on ways and means and that MT Payne of New York will be placed second on that committee are repeated with so much positiveness as to give assurance of substantial foun- datiOn.

Playing for Position,

Springfield, H., Dec. 19.-When asked to-day for an expression of opinion in regard t. the Venezuelan question Sen ator Palmer said: This congress can agree upon nothing, but we can all agree upon 8 policy of aggression The politicians, are playing for position. The country in dispute is merely worthless, and is certainly not worth the life of a single American citizen. We cannot assume a protectorate over the southern republics.''

SENATOR .IIDRICH'S PLAN.
It is to Provide a Horizontal Increase of
 Duties.

New York, Dec. 19.-The American EcCromist tomorrow will say:
 Senator Aldrch during an hours in teresting discussion of the financial sit uation told us among other plans that seemed feasible, if the revenue is to be increased, was one providing a horizon tai increase of say 15 to 20 per cent. on some or all of the dutiable schedules with the imposition of a proper rate on wool, lumber and perhaps other articles now on the free list. This plan is not, of course, along the line of republican doctrines, but it may be the best attainable to secure the necessary revenue. With it might be included some temporary increase in the tariff on manufactured tobacco. and perhaps other articles, It must not be under stood that Senator Aldrich is committed to this. He appreciates that more rev enue is needed and not through an in crease in our bonded debt. He is giving the subject both constant and earnest consideration.
