a crew of 100, besides q number e OF catn re

The Horrible Details.
Lowestoft. Eng, Jan. 31.-The horri-
BILE details of the loss of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Elbe and her
human freight are being discussed here
by crowds of people gathered at different
places where the survivors remain al
though a regular blizzard is blowing and,
under ordinary circumstances, very few
people would have ventured out of doors.
The bitterly cold weather prevailing
and the lack of news from any point
along the coast shows that there is little
if any hope of any other survivors OF
the disaster reaching land.
A lifebOat supposed to have belonged
to the Elbe has been washed ashore near
Yarmouth. In the boat were a number
of life belts and oars and it is believed
smack Wildfower rescued the few per-
sons who escaped from the steamer
after the collision of yesterday morning.
No Hope for the Missing.
The majority of the people here have
abandoned all hope of hearing of the res
cue of any more Of the Elbe's passen-
gers or crew, as many of the Yarmouth
and Lowestoft. fishing smacks are known
to have been plying near the scene Of
the disaster and they certainly would
have picked up any survivors

of the still unknown ship which rammed
and sunk the Elbe They all claim that
she should have stood by the Elbe, and
that if she had done so a great many
lives would have been saved. This, of
course, is a matter which cannot be de-
cided until all the facts in the case are
brought to light by the court of inquiry
which will inquire into the matter. The
agents of the North German Lloyd COM

The following from the Chatham
Record contains a prediction that
seems reasonable in view OF the
record of the Douglass Legislature.
1t appears reasonable to believe that
the people have had quite enough of
this kind of a law-making body
The Record says: Thousands OF
honest men in North Carolina voted
the fusion" ticket, at the last cleo
ton, who will never do so again,
because they have been grossly de
ceived and betrayed. They honestly
believed the promises and pledges
made by the reform" candidates
and voted for them. They gave
them full and absolute control OF
both branches of the Legislature,
and placed it in their power to fulfill
every promise and redeem every
pledge. and behold the result!

SPANISH SHOTS.

The firing upon the United States
mail steamship Allianca by a Span
ish gunboat is an incident that will
serve to show all foreign powers that
this government will not submit to
such an indignity.
Secretary Gresham has taken
prompt action in the premises and
the subjoined extract from his cable
gram 70 United States Minister Tay-
Tor, at Madrid, sounds very much as
if he means business.
After reciting the information he
has received of the occurrence, Secre-
tary Gresham says:
This government will expect
prompt disavowaT of the unauthor-
iZed act aud due expression of regrs &
on the part OF Spain, and it mus &
insist that innellate and positive
orders be given to Spanish naval
commanders not to interfere with

You will communicate this to the
minister for foreign affairs and urge

This is plain language and not
susceptible of misconstruction.

act with expressions of regret end

repetition must not occur. Failing
in these, the inference il that Spain

The Republicans and Populists OF
this State both declare themselves in
favor of free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /. and yet the Fusion
Legislature indefinitely postponed a
resolution, which was offered by
Democrat, TO instruct our ReprAsen-
tatives in Congress to vote for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio OF 16 to l. This looks a
little curious, but that was a curious
mixture that composed the Fusion
element OF the late legislature.
