Boston, November 27.-Even the belief
in the well known safety of Boston har-
bor was rudeIy shaken by the terrific
blizzard of last night and this morning.
1t will take many hours to make COM
plete list of the casualties arising from
the storm in Boston harbor alone, but
from the present indications, it certainly
looks as though it might be long one.
The cables of the Wilson liner Ohio just
in from Hull, England, gave way and
she ran upon the beach of Spectacle
island, where she now lies high and dry.
The work of hauling her off IS likely to
be difficult. On shore, not far from the
Ohio is the schooner G. A. White, from
Baltimore, but she will probably float as
soon as he cargo of coal has been re-
moved. On the beach on the northern end
of Thompson s island are three il not four
two masted schooners. They are all down

A. Emerson. Seraphine and Virginia, al
though there is some uncertainty as to
the identity of the latter. 1t is likely that
they will all be hauled of without any
serious damage. The sehooners John S.
A mes and Lizzie Dyas are also ashore at
Fort Warren.
So far as known, there have been no
lives lost from any of the above schooners
although it is reported two men were
washed overheard from the Virginia
No effort was made this afternoon to
reach two unknown schooners on shore

Quincy bay on the flats off Atlantic.
1t was farther out in the bay that the
casualties began with the sinking OF at
least one, If not two coal Darges, and the
loss of the crew of each. The tug Gum
berland came in early last evening with
swo barges, and one OF them, the Censoli-
dated Coal Company No. /, broke away
from the tug, and striking Hunts ledge,

KING OTTO DYING.
Bavaria's Crazy Ruler Again Becomes
Violent in His Cell.

MUNICH, April 5-The condition of the
insane King Otto of Bavaria has suddenly
become worse, and it is feared that he is
dying. The condition of the unfortunate
monarch has been kept as close as possible,
and of late it has been thought that he
would become quiet and tractable. This i'm
provement in his mental condition was so
marked year ago that proposal to de-
clare his reign closed and to crown Prince
Luitpold, the regent as King of Bavaria
was definitely abandoned. Within the last
three months he has relapsed into his old
violent state and his most dangerous il
fusion, that of being a stork and able to
fly, has again possessed him. He smokes
cigarettes immoderately and displays an
inordinate appetite for candies. 1t requires
the constant attention of his attendants
to prevent him going naked. He jumps
about like an animal on all tours and in
sists on taking his food off the floor. The
windows of the place where he is confined
are built up to prevent a CLEAN of light
which the mad King hates.
