ROCKETS RISE OFF SHORE.
Signals of Distress Off the Nova
Scofjn conS,

HALIFAX, n. S., Jan. 10.-A report re-
ceived here late tonight states that an
unknown ocean steamer has been sending
up signals of distress off Whitehead, 100
miles east of here.
When first discovered darkness was
coming on and she was about seven miles
distant, showing flag calling for assist
ance, and seemed to be running in vest
erly course, keeping off shore.
After DARK she discharged a number of
skyrockets. Thick snow squalls set in
about o'clock, and nothing more has
been seen of her except an occasional
rocket.
When the signals were first observed the
schooner Hannah II. Elbridge and life
beat and several small boats started from
the shore toward the steamer. Up to 10 80
O'Clock tonight the Elbridge or boats had
not returned.
An unconfrmed report here states that
the steamer belongs to the Furness line.
The Furness liner Damareri is eight days
overdue from Cardiff for this port with
cargo of coal for the British naval authori-
ties.
The steamer State of Georgia, from
Da1tzic with a cargo of sugar, is also due
here.
J. H. Hugill, the Halifax manager of
the Furness line, thinks the ship in dis
tress is either the Damarari or State of,
Georgia, unless it is some steamer bound
to a United States port which has got out
of her course. Mr.. Hugill is arranging
for steamer to start for the eastern shore
as soon as possible.
The vessel is still reported signaling for
help and is in a dangerous position. as
hidden shoals and lodges extend for miles
along the coast from Whitehead
At :l5 O'Clock tonight it was reported
from Whitehead that the lifeboat and
schooner Elbridge had returned without
finding the distressed steamer, owing to
the thick snowstorm, and had given up
the search.
A second schooner which went out re-
turned with the same information The
snow is falling heavily and the wind blow
ing from the southwest.
The keeper at Whitehead Eighth ouse
reports that the first signals he saw were
about $3.50 P. NJ, and they could be seen
until alter dark, when rockets were sent
up at frequent intervals and continued I'M
til the snowstorm set in. The steamer
was schooner-rigged and had dark -colored
tunnels.

AGREED hmm

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 1o.-secre-
tary Olney and the Chilean Minister,
Senior Cana, have practically reached a
successful conclusion to the long negotia-
tons for rehabilitation of the Chilean
claims com mission, which ended its exist
ence by limitation nearly two years ago
without completing its labors. 1t is un-
derstood that the com m ission will assem-
BILE in this city next October and consider
the remaining cases. OF which seventeen
are American claims against Chile, and
two, including that for the capture and
detention of the ltata, are supported by
Chile against the United States
These constitute the sole causes for
friction between the two countries, which
have been notably cordial in their profess
sion OF friendship for the past year, and it
lis believed the settlement will dispose of
any lingering animosity which resulted
from the Baltimore and other incidents
which led the Chileans to the verge of war

mony and permission was given.
This was December IS. Fearing foul
play DIR. Holden reported the case to the
police, and after two weeks OF search the
three people were found at 26 Aberdeen
