FAST In THE ICE.
Red Gross Steamer Brings Sad Tale
From Newfoundland

From Newfoundland
New York, Jan. 31.-The Red Cross lin
steamer Portia arrived this morning
four days overdue from ST. Joints, N. F.
and Halifax, after desperate encounte
with pack ice off the Newfoundland
coast and with a narrowing tale of biz
yards there and restitution in the coas
section of that country.
Hundreds of men, women and children
dead or dying from exposure and starva
ton with abundance close by, and hun
dreds more threatened with a like fate
are the brief details of the condition Of
affairs brought by the PCrtia.
For four days the Portia was penneG
in huge Arctic foes in plain sight of st
Johns, unable to move. She managed tt
escape by merest accident. Many 9th
er craft, several of them relief vessel
sent by the Canadian government tt
succor destitute fishermen, had to aban
don their errands of mercy and return t.
st. Johns, where they were still in th
ice when the Portia struggled into cleal
water.
Close to where the Portia lay the bia
steamship Virginia was locked tight Sh
had been sent north by the Canadian
government with food for the starving
fishermen, but a short distance up th1
coast. She found the route securely
blocked, and was forced to return to por
to prevent being ice-bound all winter
She has since gotten clear of the ice
however.
Among the detained fleet at ST. John,
were a dozen or more sailing vessels
loaded with Goldfish for England ant
Brazil.
The city of st. Johns was in a terrible
condition on account of the blizza II. = hi
streets were rendered impossible, tn,
railroads suspended work, and the poo
are suffering through hunger and cold
Prices of food had advanced until the,
were beyond the reach of the poor
When the Portia was working her WAY
out OF sea, she was closely followed b!
the bark Flora, and these two vessel
were the only ones that succeeded il
leaving st. Johns.

o'clock the railroad auditor entered the
office and informed Mr.. Bradford that
the company had decided to make a

stalled. The customary transfer was
then made, after which Mr.. Bradford
started to leave the depot, when he was

heretofore borne a good reputation. He
resided with his wife and three children
on Munroe street, and was deemed an ex
emplary man by the citizens. He was a

Fellows, and previous to the present yeal
Dad served for long time as cen t BILE
He was trusted and respected by all, and
his arrest today caused the biggest SEN
gation in town for many years.

was due to fre detective work ON the
the part of John A. Me oney, special Off
Ger of the Boston and Maine railroad
who had investigated several clews per-
tanning to the breaking of the safe and
the larceny of money, and also by work
performed by Sheriff Bridges regarding

Washington, Jan. 29.-After a debate
animated at all times and occasionally
acrimonious, which occupied the greater
part of this week, the senate last even
ing, by the vote of AZ to 80, passed the
Teller concurrent resolution. The reso-
luton is a practical reaffirmation of that
of Stanley Matthews in 1878, and is as
follows: That all the bonds of the
United States issued or authorized to be
issued, under the said acts of congress
hereinbefore recited, are payable, prin-
cipal and interest, at the option of the
government of the United States in silver
dollars of the coinage of the United States
containing 41212 grains each of standard
silver; and that to restore to its coinage
such silver coins as legal tender in pay
ment of said bonds, principal and inter-
est. is not in violation of the public faith
nor in derogation of the rights of the pub
lic creditor.

field for the repose Of the souls of the insur-

said to have exhausted their funds and the
supplies obtained from the monasteries

that he is unable to comply with the insur.
gent demands.
