APPEAL BY ARCHBISHOPS.
They Ask That Congress Again Go Over
the Question of Indian
Education.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Cardinal Glib
bons, in behalf of himself and the arch
bishops of the Catholic church in Amer
lea, has submitted a petition to congress
asking that the question of the contract
school system be reopened and that con-
gress again go over the whole subject
of Indian education. The petition asks
that a congressional inquiry be made in
place Of the departmental inquiries
The petition was presented by Repre-
sentative McIntire of Baltimore, and
was referred to the house Indian COM
mitree, which is now preparing the In
dian appropriation bill. Senator Cor
man presented similar petition in the
Senate
representative Sherman, chairman
of the house committee on Indian af-
fairs, is i'll favor of granting the petit
ton. ae is of opinion that as the
Catholic church has made large ex-
pend lures tor Indian education in the
er ction of buildings, etc., it is fair that
congress should know the exact condi-
ton OF things Mr.. Sherman said that
he probably would take some acuion to
bring about such an investigation, but
not Tor some time yet.

TWENTY FIVE PERSISTED.
Brave Rescue of the Rest Board the
Londonian, Which Went Down
at sea.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 9.-The Johnston
line steamer Vedamore of Liverpool,
with 45 shipwrecked mariners and cat
tlemen. which she picked up at sea.
arrived here. Twenty five other marin
ers and cattlemen went down with
their ship.
The men landed are the survivors of
the British steamship Londonian of
London, bound from Boston for London.
Nov. %, in a violent gale her cargo
shifted aud she almost capsized, she
finally resting on her beam ends, with
big seas breaking over her. For two
days she drifted about at the mercy of
the winds and waves. Assistance came
at about 5 O'Clock on the morning of
Nov. 90 The Vedamore hove in sight
and was signalled.
About noon, in The teeth of a stiff
gale, Second Officer Hobbs and volun-
teer crew calamity launched one of the
Vedamore's boats and attempted to
reach the sinking Londonian for about
three hours, but failed. Captain Bart
lett then steamed to the windward of
the doomed steamer, and several other
attempts to rescue the Londonian' s
crew were made fruitlessly.
AS it grew too dark to do anything
more the Vedamore stood by. During
the night the wind increased and by
morning it was blowing very hard.
For hours life buoys, with lines at
tatched, were f1oated toward the Lon
DOMAIN and at last her crew succeeded
in getting one aboard. One of the
Vedamore's lifeboats, improvised as a
life-car, made trip successfully and %
half frozen, exhausted men were hauled
up over the side of the Vedamore. AS
the boat was going back to the London
ian wreck big sea demolished it. The
lines were carried away and the COM
munication broken.
Chief Officer Doran of the Vedamore
volunteered to launch another ifeboat
to attempt the rescue. The seas were
by this time terrific. For about two
hours the boats crew struggled at the
oars hut failed When they returned
the boat was smashed against the ships
side and lost. They all came near
drowning. Another fearful night of
peril and fear passed. The next morn
ing 90 of the men of the Londonian
succeeded in launching one of their
own boats and reached the Vedamore.
Their boat was also lost and all that
day was spent III trying to again estab-
lish communication. The gale was con-
stantly increasing and all efforts to save
this others were IN vain.
Even after night hat. allen the Veda-
more was kept cruising about in the
vicinity but when day broke next
morning the Londonlan had vanished.

Galveston, Jan. S.-The grain situa-
ton here is serious. There are 400
grain-laden cars on the wharves and
1000 more in the yards Elevators A
and b are filled There were seventy
steamers in port Nov. 1, but there are
only nine here today, and nearly all of
them are loaded.
Vessels which are to take 100000 bush
els are expected to arrive here by next
Monday. This is the season of fogs
on the gulf The weather has been
bad for some time, and that probably
causes the detention of vessels now
overdue. j.. Remershoffers & Sons
eased off the situation somewhat by an
nouncing that their elevator, which has
been undergoing repairs and enlarge
ment would open today. This eleva-
tor has 100000 bushels capacity. There
is considerable movement of cotton. and
the stream of grain coming this way is
steady and large. There are IS steam
ers chartered for this month but until
boats arrive in large numbers, the pres
sure will continue.

PARIS AFTERNOON COSTUME From nARpER.s RAzAR

An effective. gown particularly suit
able for house wear, but equally appro-
pirate for the street, made in a different
coloring, has some rather original points
as to trimming and combination of col
oring. The gown illustrated is of pale
sage green cloth of satin finish, and
of light enough weight to dTape grace
fully. The skirt fits closely over the
hips and in front, and all the fitness at
the back is put into as small a space as
possible. While the skirt is narrower
than those worn last season, there is
enough flare about the foot to give a
particularly smart appearance. The cut
of this skirt, together with that of the
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-09

waist and sleeves, is given in the cut
tissue paper pattern issued by Harper's
Bazaar, where it appears The skirt is
trimmed with bands Of braid, black and
dead gold, and where the ends are
fastened there are small Roman gold
buttons. The gold and the black look
especially well against the pale green.
The waist is simple style, and the
most noticeable thing about it is the
braiding which matches that on the
skirt The color and frill are faced with
darker green velvet, which shows just
enough to give another tone of coloring.
This style of waist can be altered. so
that 1t can be worn either by a stout
or a slender woman, by having the full
ness differently arranged.
