A three-maSted schooner was wrecked
Sunday night half Il mile off Salisbury
beach. near Amesbury. Mass. IL"
schooner. presumably the Florida. OF
Rockland. Ne. was driven on the beach
in :. heavy northeast gale. The sea was
SO heavy that To launch Il small boat was
out Of the question. yet in the face of this
peril two az the crew could be seen max
ing the attempt. The boat was taken up
by a huge wave and tossed beyond Their
reach. The crew made for the rigging,
one. thought to he the captain. flashing
himself TO the mainmast. where through Il
glass an hour later he appeared 10 he
dead. Five of the others took 10 the mlz-
zenmast. flashing their bodies to 1T, while
the seventh man dashed himself TO the
other mast. The Plum Island lifc-savin.
crew was notified and drove over the ten
miles of rough road i'll the hfeboat behind
four herses. Soon afterwards W bodies
were washed ashore. and soon after 1t
cleared for Il few minutes. when it was
seen that the masts had been swept away
and the other five had gone down 10 a
wateIy grave.

In response 10 Il resolution of inquiry
the secretary Of war has sent 10 the Sch
ate a statement OF the amount of none
which could be used advantageously in
coast defenses. He says that SD 61S.
$50 could be SO used by the department
prior to July J.. 1891. of which amount
81, 122.OOU should be made available dur
i1.g the present fiscal year. He RECON-
mends that S1J.S01 900 he designated for
Notifications. S1.OOO.O0 q for sites. 81
100000 for submarine defenses. S6.316.-
$50 for guns. mortar projectiles. etc. The
Special advantage OF the Increased APP
preparations rs enumerated by TIE sec
rotary are: TIE utilization of the army
gun factory to its full capacity: the more
rapid armament of II fortifications: the
addition of twelve mortars and carriages
to those already estimated for: the pur-
chase of an additional III deck-pierc-
ing shells aud supply of heavy material
for siege service.

The Chinese Government has III length

cost of the seventy miles of road is csti-
mated at S2.O0O.OO0 and is to he finished

MOrpau Syndicate Short.

The Morgan pool at New York was busy
Friday selling bonds at the market rate
of 11G34. There We're reports in Wall
street that Mr.. Morgan was also a buyer
of bonds. which was no, unlikely. rs they
are regarded as sure to advance 10 10
within a short time. 1t is said that the
Morgan people. like many others. have
contracts for the delivery of many of the
bonds. and find that they are short i'll the
supply they expected To get. Late i'll the
day. too. came a report from Washington
saving that the Morgan syndicate was
only To get S3'.OOo 900 of the loan. This
was Il great surprise. rs on Wednesday
the general opinion of those who heard
the reading of the bids was that Mr.. Nor
gan would get al least $4,000. 600. and
Mr.. Morgan reported the treasury clerks
had given him So. 200. 900 as his probable
allotment. At rhe ~subtreasury in New
York there was an thrush of gold for eX-
animation. which means that those who
are in and above the Morgan bid are
placing their gold for safe keeping in the
treasury vaults until the arrival of the
official notification tina, bonds have been
allotted 10 them.

In regard TO the request of Minister
Terrell that the United States legation Toe
allowed n second dispatch-boat for its
service, the Turkish Government contends
that as the passage of TIE Straits of The
Dardanelles was regulated by an agree
nent between the SIX powers. the United
States must apply 10 them for the neccs-
Sary permission. rs she Is not a party
10 the treaty of Paris. On behalf of the
United States, it is understood. the on
tention is made that the regulations do not
apply 10 the United States. and that she
considers the Straits Of the Dardanellcs
To Ice open waters. 1t Is stated in we'll
informed circles that the reason for the
POrtcs hesitation t. grant the request of
Mr.. Terrell is the opposition al Russia
to the request of the United States for
the passage of an extra guardship through
the straits.
