SEVENTEEN BRITISH V1RSHIPS. Reported to be Off heinalpo-Consterna- ton at Seoul.

London Dec. 27.-A special dispatch from Shanghai says: Tt is reported that seventeen British warships are off
 Chemulpo, Corea, southwest of Seoul, supporting the British consulship, really amounting to an ultimatum against the kings practically yielding the govern ment of Corea into the hands of the Russian minister. The protest is spec ially directed against the dismissal of MT. McLeavy Brown, British adviser to the Corean customs in favor of the Russian nominee The news has pro- duced consternation at Seoul, which is heightened by the knowledge that Jap- an has fleet of thirty warships await ing the result of the British representa- tion that Japan fully supports. Japan is irritated by the. arrival of Russian troops in Corea and 1t is believed that she will oppose them. According to ad- vices from Tol1io, Japan has offered to assist the officers at Pekin in drilling the Chinese army and to consent to a postponement of the payment of the war indemnity. The viceroys and Pekin officials favor the proposal.

THE FALL RITER SITUATION.
Strike Opinion Not So Strong-New Propo-
 sition to Owners.

Fall River. Mass, Dec. 26-The strike opinion among the operatives tonight is not as strong as last week. It is be- leved that careful consideration of ex- isting conditions hase done much to change the sentiment The conference committee of the operatives in which are representatives of all the textile unions, held another meeting tonight when the wage question discussion was resumed As an outcome the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the committees secretary.
 Afterwards the only information giv- en out was that new proposition to the manufacturers was proposed and the plan unanimously adopted It's de- tails are not divulged and the docu- ment is how in the mail for Secretary Rounseville. A manufacturer tonight volunteered the information that the new proposition might offer an accept ance of the cut-down, provided the pres ent schedule will be restored when a margin of profit, to be mutually agreed upon, shall warrant such action By this he meant that the operatives will continue work in hope of better times very soon.

EIECTRIC CAR RUNS WILD.
Leaves the Track and Crashes Into a
 Building-The Injured.

Providence, R. l., Dec. 26.-What came near being one of the worst street rail- way accidents in this city occurred at noon to-day. A Camp street electric car ran wild and rushed down the heavy grade on Olney street hill with the speed of an express train and shot across North Main street and into the corner of a frame building. The impact of the collision was so great that some of the heavy framework on the car was doubled up like a book and the corner post of the building, which acted as a buffer for the runaway electric car, was quite bandly splintered. How the occu- pants of the car escaped with their lives seemed nothing short of miracle. There were about ten passengers on the car at the time besides the motorman and conductor.
 The injured are: Mrs. Sarah Maluf- sky, crushed and bruised in the abdo- men and head cut; Conductor Irving Mott, shoulder dislocated and bruised about the upper part of the body; Charles Holmes, bruised about right leg and back injured. One of the most sur prising things was the escape of the anotorman, Louis E. Morrow, who stuck to his post until some of the iron work had imbedded itself in the corner of the building. He escaped without a scratch, while the woodwork all about him was smashed into kindling wood.

 Miss Herbert's Death the Reason.
 Washington, Dec. 27.-The recent tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert, the daughter of the ex-secretary of the navy, is given as the reason for the sui eide which occurred to-day of Miss An- nie Virginia Wells, an accomplished young society woman and daughter of MT. Lewis s. Wells, a we'll known attor- ney. The young woman shot herself through the heart with her brothers re- volver at the residence of her father, '1311 N street, N. W. Miss Wells had met Miss Herbert a number of times and was very much attached to her. She herself had been confined to the house for four months by illness and this combined with the shock caused by the death of her friend brought on felancholia, which resulted in suicide. The deed was apparently entirely un- premeditated and coming immediately after Christmas festivities in the house, completely prostrated her aged mother. Miss Wells was thirty-three years Of age and very beautiful.

BOSTON'S DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Little Headway Made by the Police-Two
 Men Under Arrest.

Boston, Dec 26.-There seems to be little information gleaned by the police to-day to clear up the mystery of the double murder at the North End last night. The dead.men are: James Cato lari, boarding house keeper at 342 Hanover street, and Savario Quartario of If Moon street, a boarder in the house. Captain Joseph Dugan, of police headquarters, to-day took evidence of all the witnesses found of the tragedy, but as usual with this type of murders little headWay was made. The men un- der arrest, who will be charged with the murders are SaVario Careli, who is in the hospital suffering from knife wounds, and friend named Cappocci- no As is usual in cases of tragedies among Italians, it is stated that the trouble which ended in the killing really was the result of fued originating in Italy.

THE SITUATION AT DAWSON
WILL SURELY BE STARVATION
 THERE THIS WINTER.

An Examination Into the Condition of
 Things by John Lindsay Who Has Just
 Arrived from There-Candles Selling at
 $15O Box-Seventy Degrees Below
 zero-Other Statements.
 Skaguay, Alaska, via Seattle, Wash, Dec. 26-John Lindsay of Olympia, Wash, who has just arrived from Daw- son City, says that there will surely be starvation there this winter. He eX amined into the food situation there, and satisfied himself that there would be starvation. He then sold his things and in company with Frank Ballaine of Olympia, Tom Storey of Victoria and Bob Glynn of Seattle started on foot, drawing a sledge carrying about eight hundred pounds of provisions. He says the Dawson people believe that there is no great amount of food at Yukon, as has been alleged. The river remained open long enough to enable food supply to have been brought from Fort Yukon had there been any there.
 The people of Dawson, believing that there was not ample food supplies at Fort Yukon, refused to go there, pre- ferring to remain in Dawson. Not more than three or four hundred people took advantage of the transportation company's offer to take the people to Fort Yukon for nothing. Linsay says that the output of the mines will be greatly curtailed this winter because of the scarcity of food and light Coal oil sold for $45 gallon and candles are as high as $150 box of one hundred. Even if men were able to work their claims they cannot get enough light to do so.
 Dr. Bradley of Roseberg, Ore. says that food is scarce, but does not think there will be actual starvation. Neither do w. B. King of Merced, Cal, P. J. Hol- land of Butte, Thomas Storey or Vic- toria or Robert Glynn of Seattle, all of whom reached here this week from Dawson, the most of them having left there on November ?. As an instance of the scarcity of food in Dawson, Lind say relates the case of Dr. Van Zandts, formerly of Spokane, Wash, who be- ing out of provisions or money, offered a gold watch for a sack of flour. He could not get it and remarked to Lind say: God only knows how l am to keep body and soul together"
 Henderson Creek, five miles below Stewart river and forty miles from Dawson Is promising seam and is be- ing developed this winter. The ther- mometer recorded 70 degrees below at Major Walchs camp, 12 miles below Big Salmon on November 30. The Yukon river between Dawson and Fort Pelly froze completely over on November IS. The river is piled full of ice in great ridges as high as house, and a road will have to be cut through before dog or horse teams can operate upon it. The outlook for taking supplies down to Dawson in the immediate future is not good. Inspector of Mines McGregor left here week ago with number of horse teams to make an attempt to reach Dawson with twenty tons of pro- visions, but nothing has since been heard of him.

STEAMER'S CARGO AFIRE.
The Lamberts Point Puts Into St. Johns
 Terrible Heat.


 St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 26.-The British steamer Lambert's Point, Captain Humphreys, seven days from Norfolk, Va, for Liverpool, with cattle, cotton, grain and general cargo, has arrived here with her cotton on fire and the ship in a bad state. On Friday the fire was discovered in the compartment amidships. It gained headway rapidly, Holes were cut in the cabin flooring, pipes inserted and the compartment flooded with steam and water. The cap tain headed the vessel for this port and for forty-eight hours nobody rested, all hands battling with the fire, which steadily gained, and spread to the fore compartment.
 It then became necessary to flood this, which gave the ship list Of F degrees to the starboard. She met terrible weather in trying to reach here. Her sides and deck were almost unbearable with heat and the provisions were all spoiled by steam and smoke. The paint is now peeling off her sides, while gangs of men are landing the cargo, al- most middened with heat. Captain Humphreys admits that he could not have controlled the fire twenty-four hours longer. Holes are now being cut in her sides to admit more steam pipes in the hope of having the fire subdued by Tuesday, when the cotton will be discharged until the seat of the fire is reached. Nearly the entire cargo was damaged

QUEER CLUD ROOM.
Found by Sergeant Hayes and Officer Caul-
 field Yesterday Afternoon.


 field Yesterday Afternoon. Yesterday afternoon at 3:S0 Sergeant Hayes and Officer Caulfield of the Grand avenue station found six men in a room over saloon at 23S Hamilton street. They also found a lot of empty beer bottles and a bottle of whiskey.
 One of the men, "Petie'' Mccarthy, a well-known character, claimed that he and another man used the room as a olub-roon. He said that he had only rented it yesterday morning. The men were keeping warm by sitting on the floor around large brass lamp of the kind usually used in saloons. There were no chairs or other furniture in the room.
 Just after Mccarthy had made this statement Frank Kinney, bartender of the saloon came up the stairway opened the door and came in, saying beer. When he opened the door the of ticers stepped behind it so that he dinn't observe them until he had given himself away.
 As soon as he saw the officers he dart ed out of the door and down the stair way. The police followed but failed to catch him. He will be arrested to-day. Nothing can be done to the men found in the room, as it would be almost i'm possible to disprove the claim made by Mccarthy.

MASS MEETING OF MERCHANTS.
Will be Held To-night--The Resolutions
 Which Will be Discussed.

Will be Hold To-night-The Resolutions
 Which Will be Discussed.
 There will be a mass meeting of the retail merchants of the city this even- ing at Warner Hall at S:3O. This hour is named in order to give all the store keepers time to get through with their Monday night rush,
 Both merchants who give the stamps and those who do not are urged by the committee to be present, and those who give stamps are requested to bring their contracts with the stamp companies with them. r. J. Kelly, the Grand ave- nue furniture dealer, as chairman of tie committee which has arranged for the meeting, will call the meeting. to order. MT. Kelly, with c. M. Pafker, the Chapel street optician, and B. r. BYis- tol, shoe dealer, has formulated the fol lowing resolutions, which they will of- fer for the meeting to act upon:
 Whereas, There is Q general uprising of retail merchants of the United States against the enormous and unnecessary tax of five per cent demanded of them by the stamp system on the general vol ume of business done in such communi- ty, and
 Whereas, The numerous suits brought against retail merchants in several states have resulted in finding them guilty of conducting business illegally by their connection with the stamp system, the penalty a fine or imprison- ment, and
 Whereas, This bringing into disre- pute by the stamp system respectable businesses and placing in jeopardy indi- vidual merchants, of arrest, fines and imprisonment, is a menace to the great business fabric of which all merchants conducting business for the general good are part, and
 Whereas, It is the acknowledged pur- pose of the stamp system to sustain a boycott against merchants in this con- munity, thereby endangerng strife and jealousy and unnecessary friction be- tween business men, therefore be it
 Resolved That it is the sense of the merchants in mass meeting assembled to determine their position severally and collectively in all points recited above by appointing now a committee to formulate a resolution to the end that all the merchants agree to cease giving stamps on January 1st, 1898, and if suit is brought against any mer- chant in sympathy with the spirit of these resolutions, because of his refusal to pay five per cent. tax for his right to do business, or to sustain boycott, that all the merchants shall cooperate in defending such suit.

CHRISTIAN HYMN WRITERS.
Charles Wesley and Augustus Toplady
 Compared by Rev. Dr. Phillips.

Compared by Rev. Dr. Phillips.
 At the Church of the Redeemer last evening Rev. pr. Phillips spoke on Charles Wesley and Augustus Top lady" two great hymn writers. He said that Wesley wrote some very poor hymns which were sung in the churches of his day. Others of his hymns have the real poetic ring and merit Of this character is Jesus Lover of My Soul" Charles Wesley's poetry is apt to De oc- static and Oftentimes rhapsodlcal. It has a strong element of the American doctrine of the day and'is tinged with realism to a great degree.
 Augustus Toplady, on the other hand, stands for the old stern Calvanistic theology. Much of his time was given to theological disputing with the Wes- leys. His hymn Rock of Ages Cleft for Me- is perhaps deservedly the most popular hymn in the language, and it has many touching instances connected with it. It is said that the prince con- sort asked that it be sung short time before his death, and the Armenians of Constantinople sung it while they were being massacred by the Turks. It is said that the hymn was written to over throw the arguments of Wesley in a theological dispute. If this be so it is certain that the spirit of the hymn is quite different from what this purpose would imply. ToDlady is known only by this one hymn, Rock of Ages Cleft for Me" In it there is the idea of Christ as a remedy, nothing more. He is cleft in a great rock to which we fly for refuge and safety. In Jesus Lover of My Soul" on the other hand the idea is that of personal Saviour.
