ana Narrowly Escaped sinkinE.

HALIFAX. Dec. 6.-The Allan liner Corean,
Capt. Stuart, from New York for Glasgow, mar
rowly escaped sinking as the result Of o col
lision at sea at midnight on Saturday. The
Corean was running at a moderate rate of
speed off Sable Island, 100 miles from Halifax.
when an unknown steamer. running like q race
horse. doomed up In the dense fog and crashed
into the Corean on tho port how.
The colliding steamer came upon the Corean
so speedily and passed out of sight SO quickly the
officer in command of the Corean was unable to
distinguish anything about her. The fog was so
thick that even her tunnels could not be
seen. She was seen for q moment, and all
that is known is that she was a large
four-master, and was bound west light.laden.
1t was thought the unknown steamer was
bound for Boston. and she sustained little il
any injury, for she appeared to have kept stead
lily on her course. Immediately after the COLI
sion the Corean was hove to, and the Captain
headed his ship for this port.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE sus.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.-The debate on the Govern
ment's Naval bill was begun in the Reichstag
to-day. Speeches were made in favor of the
bill by the Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe; Rear
Admiral Tirpitz, the head Of tho imperial Nd
miralty, and Baron Won T%hielmann. Secretary
OF tho Imperial Treasury. formerly German
Ambassador to the United States, all Of whom
spoke upon the lines of the Emperor's address
Mt the opening of the session. Herr Schoenlank.
Socialist, asked that information be furnished
to the House regarding the German adven-
lures in Hayti and Kiao Chou Bay.
Herr Won Below, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
said that the Government could not yet make
any statement on the subject, as tho diplomatic
negotiations were still unfinished. Nevertho
less. he said, he might say regarding Hayti that
the Government was not satisfied with the mere
liberation of Herr Lueders. but desired In addi-
ton adequate reparation for tho wrong which
had boen done to a German subject. and proper
indemnity to the sufferer himself. He hoped
that Hayti would comply with the moderate de-
mands made by Germany. Anyway no said,
Germany had the power and would enforce her
rights.
Referring to China. Herr Won Bnlow said that
Germany would not rush into a conflict at Kiao
Chou Bay, but she could no longer exclude her
self from sharing the promising new markets..
The time had passed, he said, when Germany
was content to look on and see other countries
dividing the world among them, while Germany
"contented herself with O place in heaven"
The intentions Of Germany toward China were
benevolent. She would not provoke nor seek
q breach of her ancient friendship with the
Celestial Empire.
The negotiations which were now proceeding.
Herr Won BIlow continued were not hostile to
the interests Of the other powers, but Germany
could not permit China to treat German inter
ests as subordinate to those of other nations.
The speaker concluded his remarks amid loud
and long applause by saying: 1--WE will not put
other people in tho shade. but we claim for our.
selves q place in the sum-"
A foreign writer recently said: Germany
feels more and more the need of foreign mar
kets: She has ceased to be a prominently ag-
ricultural country and is becoming every year
more and moro an industrial and commercial
country. In 1882 Of every 1000 persons 425
were supported by agriculture and only 800 by
industry and 100 by commerce.. In 1898 the
proportions were already nearly reversed, 39l
per 900 derived their livelihood from indus try,
lis from and only 1857 from agricul-
cured abroad for the surplus production OF her
industry. and, on the other hand. food and raw
materials must be obtained in increasing guam
