ENGLAND'S ALLEGED PERIL.
Commercial Humiliation, With GER
man Supremacy In View.

London, Nov. 3O.-The Contempt
rary Review contains a sensational
anonymous article entitled ''The Arch
Enemy of England" This is the
German emperor. The writer al
leges that the kaiser seized KiaO-
Chau by an agreement with Rus
sia to prevent England getting
it and the ear holds his promise
to vacate it when called upon, Russia
providing Germany with cOaIing sta
tiOns elsewhere. The writer declares
the kaiser had drawn up a complete
plan arranging for the naval superior
ity of France, Russia aud Germany
over England four years hence, when
England is to be compelled to make
humiliatinE terms throughout the
world, leaving Germany the chief
commercial colonial power. All these
plans have suddenly been thrown into
confusion by the American-Spanish
war and America and England draw
ing together.

Shipping Growing Larger.
The STEAMER PORTLAND WRECKED.

Al o. Board PeFish-Wrecks at Pro-
viBcstOWn, HIasL-Ths Gale
At Block Island.

Boston, Nov. SO.-From reports that
have come by wire, mail and messen-
ger to the Associated press from New
England points yesterday it was diff
cult to estimate the total loss OF life
and damage to shipping along this
coast as the result Of the recent storm.
The list Of disasters seems to grow
every hour and from dispatches thus
far received it appears that at least so
schOOners have been wrecked at differ
ent points, from EastpOrt, Ne, to New
Haven, Conn Eighty-six schooners
have been driven ashore and IA barges
loaded or empty are aground. This
list does not include the 80 vessels
either wholly or partially wrecked in
Boston harbor, nor half a dozen or
more craft which are reported miss
ing. The loss OF life is hard to deter
mine. 1t is known that about so per-
sons perished in and about Boston
harbOr. Reports from other places, in
some cases, state that the crew Of this
or that vessel escaped; many, however,
state that the fate Of the crew is un-
known. Some survivors have turned
up and life-saving stations and incom-
ing vessels have brought a few sailors
from wrecks
THE sFEAMER PORTLAND WRECKED.
North Truro, Mass, Nov 30. The
steamer Portland, Of the Boston &
Portland Steamship company, plying
between Boston and Portland, was to-
tally wrecked Sunday morning off
Highland light, and the entire crew
and passengers perished within short
distance Of land. A large quantity of
wreckage, including trunks and ma
terisl, has come ashore and "a bodies
have been recovered from the surf by
the life-saving crew at High Head sta
ton One body was that of a woman.
WRECKS AT PROYINCETOWN.
ProyincetOwn, Mass, Nov. 30. -
Twenty-seven vessels were driven
ashore and totally wrecked in this
neighbOrhOOd. From the majority Of
these the crews were saved, although
several lives were lost. -Four or five
Of the wrecks were coasters, and the
rest were fishermen. During the
storm shipping was destroyed and the
beach was strewn with wreckage,
streets were flooded and whar7es
drifted out to sea
THE GALE AT BLOCK ISLAND.
Providence, R /, Nov. 3O.-The gale
at Block island was the worst ever
known by persons now living here.
The wind blew 90 miles an hour, when
the recording instrument became dis
arranged. The force of the gale seemed
TO increase after that Fourteen craft
went ashore in the harbor and many
wrecked fishermen took refuge in the
ife-saving station. The steamer Dan
ielsOn was kept from going ashore by
the life-savers.

BELIEVES IN SUFFOCATION.
Russian Sect Which Thinks Martyr
dom Necessary to Reach Heaven.

Following upon the recent revela-
tons concerning the self-immolating
fanatics in the district Of Tiraspol,
Russia, the newspapers now report
that there is a sect in the province
OF kazan the members of which adyo-
cate death by suffocation, believing
that heaven can only be gained by
suffering marty dom in this life Con-
seQuently, when any member of the
sect is believed to be ON the point of
death small cushion is placed over
the sufferers mouth and held there
until suffocation is usually performed
by an old woman, who is paid by the
sect, and who is obliged to attend at
once when a member is dying. As,
however, it would be dangerous to
carry on these practices in dwelling
houses, the person to be suffocated is
transported to a secret rendezvous,
and, after death, is buried in some
wood or ravine, all traces of the grave
being carefully obliterated.
The report was recently current at
kazan that the police had discovered
che Of the meeting places of the sect.
