SAVED FROM The STORM.
Schooner IreIan, From Baltimore. sinks
Soon After the Crew Were Rescued.


NEW YORK, Sept 27t-The four
masted schooner Goodwin Stoddard has
arrived in port from Fernandlna. Fla.
and Captain Andreassen reports that he
had severe experience In the hurri-
cane which prevailed of the southern
coast during the past week. While
coming out successfully In his battle
with the storm he brings news that
poor unfortunate shipmaster was not
80 successful.
The Goodwin Stoddard left Fernando
ma on Sept. IL. and on the following
day one of the crew who was working
aleft fell from the spanker masthead to
the deck and was instantly killed His
body was buried at sea the following
day. His name was Mis- Svendsen, a
native OF Norway. on the 2lst the
weather, which had been threatening
for some time. became stormy. The
wind came from the northeast and soon
increased 10 a gale and was accompa-
MED by enormous seas This continued
without abatlng during the night, the
schooner laboring heavily and the seas
flooding the decks. About . o'clock In
the morning OF the 22d the wind
changed to the southeast and appeared
to increase In force ana caused the sea
to become very boisterous the water
sweeping over the decks continually.
Az s a. m. a vessel was seen In the
distance which appeared TO be in trou-
Bile, and shortly n distress signal was
seen flying from her rigging. The Stod-
dard bore away for the stranger, which
proved TO be the schooner Katie J. Ire
Ian. The crew of the Irelan decided to
abandon the vessel which was in
sinking condition. and all Of her boats
were gone.
Mate Thorpe and Steward Johnson
Of the Stoddard volunteered 90 go 20 the
wreck The sea was running exceed
ingly high, but after considerable diff
Guilty the boat was launched, and the
brave fellows, with great labor and diff
ficulty, managed 10 rescue all on board
the distressed vessel. The wreck sunk
1 hour and 40 minutes after the crew
were taken Off. The rescued men were
Captain Crockett and seven men OF the
schooner Katie J. lrelan from Balu-
more for Wilmington, n. c., with a
cargo of scrap iron. None OF the res
cued men saved any of their effects.
They We're glad 10 get away with the
clothes they stood in. The Irelan sunk
in latitude 1886. longitude 7L25. The
Katie J. Irelan was built at Coppers
Point. N. j., in 1888 and was owned in
Baltimore. Her tonnage was 500 tons.

would be permanently raised about
three feet above low water. but il is
likely that even then some dredging
viii be needed. After crossing the
lake the route passes down the oneida
river a short distance then IL leaves
the river. cuts off a large bend, then
crosses the river and passes through a
large but narrow ridge of ground. At
the river crossing a dam is planned to
raise the lake level about 13 feet. on
the western side of the ridge just mem
toned is located a combined lift and
guard lock having a maximum lift OF
20 feet and a minimum lift of 10 feet.
At this lock the descent to Lake on
tario begins. Continuing. the route
passes along the southern edge Of a
large piece of wet land known as Peter
Scotts swamp.
AT one place. where the swamp bor-
ders Oneida river. the route enters the
stream and continues therein for about
one-haif mile. 1t then leaves the river
channel. continues along the swamp,
passes just north of Phenix and enters
the Oswego river just below the Phenix
dam, near the mouth Of a small creek
known as Brandy brook. The channel
of the Oswego river forms the remain-
der Of the route TO Oswego. AT Oswego
falls dam is proposed that will back
water to the crest Of the Phenix dam
and up the canal to the combined lift
and guard lock before mentioned. A
single lock will suffice to reach the
level just below the falls. The next
dam and lock are located a few miles
above Minetto dam and the next and
last dam and lock in the city of Os-
wego. The last dam will raise the wa
ter about 65 feet above low water in
Lake Ontario. 1t is proposed to use
here another elevation lock like the one
at Cohoes. The lock viii be partly
within the lines Of the Oswego harbor,
and it is considered the end of the
canal"
The total cost Of The construction of
the canal viii foot un. according to the
deductions and estimates from this ex-
animation of the route at least $50. .09S,
col. This amount is divided as follows:
For excavating S5.519OOO cubic yards of
earth at 25 cents a yard, $2l 629, $50; for
excavating 3.S73.O0O cubic yards of rock
at 81 a yard, $3.S73 900: for IS dams. av-
erage cost S376.27S. S6.77s 900; for SIS
feet lift of locks, $40. 100. 900; for 65
bridges Of all kinds $l.75O protection. OF
slopes. $5.lSS757; land damages, S3,2lS,-
263; engineering and contingencies, 30
per cent, SlS.9i5.S31.
While the cost OF this canal seems
enormous It may be considered reason
ably economical when IT Is remembered
that the Suez canal cost 100000 900.

THE CONFERENCE.
Different Opinions Expressed ns TO
Length of Time Necessary.

Washington July THE ilrst meeting OF
the conference on the tariff bill will be
held tomorrow as soon after the represen
tatives of the house are appointed as 1t is
possible for them to assemble. rms anu
subsequent meetings are expected TO be
held in the room OF the senate committee
on finance and the meetings, after the for
nal gathering tomorrow. Will be as nearly
continuous as the physical endurance OF the
members of the conference will permit.
The minority In the house will make no
opposition to the republican programme OF
sending the tariff bill to conference at once.
Both the democrats and popuists see that
nothing can be gained by the intorposition
of factious opposition. No definite ar
rangement has yet been made as TO me
time TO be allowed Tor debate when the
bill is reported back from conference, but
little difficulty is anticipated on this point.
AS the conferees are ranking members of
the committee from each side, the conierees
of the house will be Chairman Dingley OF
Maine. Messrs. Payne OF New York. Dali
zell of Pennsylvania, Hopkins of Illinois
and Grosvenor of Ohio, republicans Messrs,
Bailey OF Texas, McMllin of Tennessee and
Wheeler of Alabama, democrats,
AS to the length of the conference, ther"
Is Il difference of opinion among the house
conferuc6. Chairman Dngley, speaking OF
the conference on the Mckinley bill, SAID
1t lasted two weeks and that there We're
as vital points of difference between the
two houses then ms now.
General Grcsyenor. on the other hand
predicts that the bin will be law a week
from Saturday. il tho bill goes into con-
ference tomorrow.
The rumOr afoat today to tho effect
that the house managers had agreed 10 ac-
cept tho bill as II pnssed the senate, and
thus avoid all possible delay, Is pio-
nounced absolutely without foundation.
After the bill has been in conference
twenty four hours and the republicans have
had an opportunity to go over their dif-
ferences and ascertain tho temper of each
side with regard to the main points in
controversy. IL Will be much easier to
prognosticato the time which will be re-
quired to reacn fun agreement.
Probably the most difficult problem 10
the conferees will be the sugar schedule.
The house conferees will make a strong
stand for the house schedule which they
claim has been received with approval by
the republicans. and the republican press
bides, the house c0nferets are disposed to
yield, but not TO the full extent OF the
duty imposed by the senate. The senate
fixes the duty at 20 per cent nd valorem.
Some of the members OF the house talk OF a
compromise at 10 per cent. compromise
on wool rates also appears probable.

London, July 7.--fiypdman, the English
socialist leader has an article In the cur
rent issue OF Justice. tho socialist organ,
on the subject of the Indian riots. II Is
full of accusations against the govern
ment, is insulting to the queen and con-
cludcs as follows:
Now lot us say plainly. as Englishmcn
who are utterly sick of the infamous wrong
and jobbery being done In our name, who
would gladly see the villains tried and
hanged from Lord George Hamilton CHE
secretary OF state for lndia) upwards. who
have created the famine and murdered ma
tives by tho millions. that IL ever rebellion
wns justified in the history of the world.
it is justified in British India today. No
more intolerable tyranny ever crushed and
ruined suffering people. Thanks to the
work of our forefathers, even this cabinet
of reactionists can not suppress Justice, or
blow us socialist democrats from the
mouths Of cannon without trial, though !
have not the slightest doubt that they
would gladly do 1t II they dared. The
natives of India are quite right to revolt
and organize for the destruction of their
Infamous rule, and tho sooner their oman
cpation comes the better every democrat
and socialist in the country will be pleased,
"a copy of this issue of Justice is going
to every native newspaper in India, IN or
