HALIFAX, Dec. G.--'rhe steamer Co
rean, New York for Glasgow, has put in
here, having collIded with an unknown
steamer at 1 o'clock Sunday morning
about 100 miles from Halifax and about
fifty miles south OF Cape Sable. The
weather was exceedingly thick, Sud-
denly the black hull of another large
steamer loomed UP on the side Of the
Corcan and before the steamers had
time to clear there was a fearful crash.
The Corean was slowed down and then
brought about but nothing further was
seen OF the stranger, and II is not
known what ship Il was. and to what
extent she suffered. The other vessel
was about as large. and the effect of the
shock was terrible. The cattle sheds on
the after part Of the ship were strained
and a number of cattle Killed and in-
jured from the effect Of the shock

BERLIN, Dec. 6.-The Relchstag to-
day began the debate upon the first
reading of the government naval bill.
The imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lohe, made a statement on the subject.
saying;
Eve absolutely require an efficient
navy to maIptain the position created
for US by the army. This COMPLETION
has gained ground with very large sec
tions of the population, and l declare,
in the name OF the federated govern
ments, that they consider MS an impera-
tive necessity that the navV should be
strengthened and that Its strength
should be fixed by legislative enact
ment"
Herr schoenlank, Social Democrat,
opposed the bill. Herr Seheeniank said
he thought It curious that the flaws in
the navy had only now been discovered,
Attempts were being made, he claimed,
to frlghten the people with phantoms
and excite them 10 craving for glory,
How, the speaker asked, could this be
reconcIled with the pacific declarations
Of the emperor.
Referring to the occupation OF Kiao-
Chou Bay by the German squadron IN
Chinese waters. Herr Schoenlank said
| that II Germany established herself In
China she would become involved In
endless complications with Great Brit
ain and Japan. Germany, he claimed
would never be a naval power. The
bill, he said, was the outcome OF per-
sonal rule
County Lamburgh-Stirum, the Con-
servatlye leader, disputed Herr
Schoenlauks contention.
The minister for foreign affairs, Bar
on Won Bulow said;
Herr Schoenlang's fears that we
shall plunge into adventures are not
well grounded. The chancellor and his
colleagues are men not to seek useless

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgeneer
PARSONS, W. Va, Dec. 6,-The most
important testimony in the Eastman
case to-day was that OF W. X. Mock,
who corroborated the remarkable story
told by Cooper on the stand last FRI
day. Cooper is an old veteran of the
Confederate army. and served in the
war with Eastman. The defense drew
from him on cross-examination last
Friday that he was Eastham's nearest
nelghbor and best friend. and that he
had fled from Tucker county to Rappa-
hammock, at his own expnse, and took
refuge with the brothers Of Eastman
there, to avoid being witness against
the accused. While there he had urged
the raising of mob to rescue East
ham from the Jail at Parsons.
Mock went with him, and the latter
repeated the story with much more to-
day. He said he came from Front Royal,
Va, near Eastham's old home, several
years ago, and had since been tenant
on the prisoners farm in Tucker coun-
ty. Eastman had told MIN many times
OF his Intention TO either break up the
Thompsons or kill both father and son.
Eastman had employed witness to
blow UP the Thompsons' dam in the
Blackwater one night, and furnished
the dynamite with which II was done.
Witness had fired from ambush by
Eastham's orders upon those who came
to rebuild the dam, with almost fatal
effect, using Eastham's Winchester and
smokeless powder, provided by the pris-
oner. The evidence created Il sensation
and rather ratified the deteuse, Mock
was on the stand all the afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Dec, G.-Democratic
Senators were generally ayerse TO ex-
pressing any opinion upon the message.
Senator White Dem.. cala.), member
ofthe finance committee, was disposed to
take the message jocularly. He said;
"rhe message is elaborate, though its
conclusions are somewhat Yelled"
Views by Republican senators were
expressed as follows:
Senator Hale; "The recommendation
In regard to Cuba Is In all respects ad-
mirable and one with which am much
pleased. On the subject OF the finance
the President does not press for imme-
diate action, and as for myself l do NOT
believe that such would be possible un-
der the circumstances"
Senator Hoar: "It struck me as a
wise, a compact and carefully consider
ate document"
Senator Foraker; AS a whole the
message II an able document, but I do
not agree with the Presidents conclu-
slons on the subject of international
law as applied 10 Cuba"
Senator Chandler: II am especially
pleased with the Presidents evident in
tention TO maintain policy In the inter-
terest of international bImetallism,"
Senator Hanna: ut Is a statesmanllke
and American paper; II Is convincing
and will confirm the confidence the
country has In the President"
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-12-07

Senator Allen, (Pop.): 'T do not care
to enter upon a criticism OF the Presi-
dents utterances, but will say that
fail to agree with him on his three priu-
clpal suggestions OF policy. I do not
think II possible to secure the currency
legislation which he recommends"
Senator Teller (Sllver Republican,:
II don't believe that any legislation VIII
be enacted authorizing the retention OF
the greenbacks In the treasury until
somebody is willing TO pay gold for
them. The radical advocates Of the gold
standard will not be willing to accept
this suggestion, nor Will the silver men
so far as l am informed favor this dis
position OF the financial question"
Senator Pettigrew. (siIver Republic
CAM: "The President proposes 10 retire
the greenbacks and in doing SO he tries
to disguise the method by which Il is to
be accomplished. 1t is plain that II the
Presidents plan is adopted no more
greenbacks can be in circulation than
there is gold In the treasury. Thus tho
greenbacks virtually become gold cer-
tlHcates and would be Immediately re-
