FEAR GREAT LAKE DISASTER
No Tidings Received of Whnlcback
barge 1t5, which Broke Awny
From sinking steamer.

MARQUETTE. Mich, Dec. 15.-A special
to the Mining Journal from Houghton to-
night contains a statement from Captain
James Burr of the American Steel Barge
company's No. 1877 in which he expresses
the opinion that the barge 115 and barge
Colgate Hoyt, which, with his barge, were
part of the tow of the McDougal have
gone down in the open lake.
Nothing has been heard from them since
Monday night, at which time all three tows
broke loose from the steamer, Barge 1876
has since been picked up and bought into
Houghton. Captain Burr says the storm was
terrific. The other barges broke loose first
and being older than barge 1S7 were not so
well able to stand it.
If they have gone down it will be one of
the greatest lake disasters in years. Each
had crew of twenty men of its own and
was carrying down an extra crew. Total,
about fifty men. The McDougal has passed
the 500, going down without any of her
tows, leaving 1877 to winter at Houghton.
The fate of the other two is unknown.
CHICAGO, Dec 15.--The Lake Marine
News bureau says: "TheIe is but one
whaleback mssing-barge 115 1t carries
crew of six or eight men"
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Dec. 15.--No
tidlngs have been received here of the whale
back barge lis, which broke away from the
whaleback steamer Colgate Hoyt on Lake
Superior in Monday nights storm. The tugs
which were sent out by Captain w. w.
Smith, marine superintendent of the whale
packs, in search of the missing boat, have
not yet returned. The Hoyt was sighted
by the whaleback steamer McDougal near
Michipigoten island yesterday morning. 1t
was at that time in search of the barge.
If the barge has been lost it will be the
first whaleback TO founder in a storm.

IRISH HATE MR.. CHAMBERLAIN
Propose to Give Him n Warm Recep-

LONDON, Dec. 15.-(New York World
Cabegram Special Telegram.) - Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain's visit to Dublin
promises to be sgnalized by serious dis
turbances. He has announced his intention
of travelling over tomorrow Saturday to
stay with Viceroy Cadogan Sunday and take
the honorary degree of LII. d. at Trinity col
lege on Monday.
The Irish TransvaaI committee has issued
a proclamation calling an Indignation meet
ing OF the citizens of Dublin Sunday to dis
associate themselves from the act of Trinity
college, by which it proposes to do honor to
Mr.. Chamberlain. "the author of the robber
war being conducted today by England"
Another nationalist body, the Irish social
ist republican party, has issued placards for
monster demonstration outside Trinity
college on Monday "to celebrate Gatacres
defeat at Stormberg." This demonstration
Is timed for the hour when Mr.. Chamberlain
will be receiving his degree inside the uni
versity.
The ministerial papers call upon Viceroy
Cadogan to prohibit both meetings. but no
prohibition can prevent crowds from as
sembling Dsorderly scenes seem inevitable
unless Mr. Chamberlain takes advice and
defers his visit.
The Freeman's Journal publishes a scath-
ing editorial on Mr. Chamberlain's shfty
career, entitled 'Iscarot, LID"
Vceroy Cadogan, an extremely nervous
man, is said to be i'll at the prospect of
the visit and to have mplored Arthur Bal
four to induce Mr. Chamberlain to abandon
1t.
Mr.. Chamberlain thinks this violent Irish
nationalist hostility will arouse English sym
pathy for him, therefore he is unwilling to
cancel the engagement.

NATIVES LEARN SECRET ORDERS.
American Naval Officer Says Spies
Make Secrecy Almost ValueIess.


BOSTON, Dec. 15.-A letter received from
one of the officers of the United States ship
Monterey, at Manila, dated November 8,
says:
THE Princeton today was ordered to coal
to go to some unknown destination. Great
secrecy is maintained nowadays-even mis-
leading statements are published in the pa
pers. They do not fool the willy natives,
however. who get information from the main
source Of orders. 1t is said, with reason for
absolute belief that spies have been caught
with copies of orders which had not yet
reached the person to whom they were ad-
dressed and that detachments of soldiers or
dered by telegraph to move have been am
bushed in places which the insurgents could
only have reached by being informed of the
intended movements. Secrecy at present is
more of pretence than a<reality."

ENpert Opinion.

The Posts military expert says: "Bulle-
yesterday was defeated with heavy loss in
itempt to force a passage Of the Tugela
euso. The brief dispatch which
only at the last moment men
tions brigades of infantry and mounted
troops under Lord Dundonald There we're
two fords two miles apart. Hart was to try
to force that on the left, Hidyard that on
the right and General Lyttleton to support
one or the other, while Barton's brigade and
mounted men protected the right flank.
Early in the day it was seen that Harts
task would be too heavy. He was ordered to
draw back and Hildyard to press on, the ar
tilery being ordered from left to right to
support the new attack. The artillery
moved close to the river bank and the river
proved to be lined by the enemy's rliemen,
who were thus within short range OF the
guns Horses and gunners we're shot down
and, as the heavy musketry fire continued,
it was impossible to move guns, most of
which we're abandoned. Sir Butler decided
that for the infantry to attempt to force
a passage without the support of the artil-
lery would be useless bloodshed and ordered
retirement to camp at Cheveley.
THE Impression made by the dispatch Is
that the action was rather a repulse than a
defeat. Buffers attack was not pushed home
but broken off in the middle, owing to the
loss OF three batteries. He can and will re-
new the attempt, and until that has hap
pened it is premature to suppose that
decisive battle has taken place. But the
repulse is very serious matter for it must
react on the situation in Cape Colony. 1t does
not directly endanger the position of Whites

ENGLAND BIDS HIGH FOR COLD
Raises the Price for American Eagles One
Penny an Ounce,
ANNOUNCE SHIPMENTS AT NEW YORK
Causes Little Surprise on Wall street,
as the Change In Foreign Rates
Makes Export of Gold
Inevitable.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Statist says: The
prospects of gold coming from the United
States are more hopeful. To induce ship
ments the Bank of England has raised the
price 1t is willing to pay for eagles 1 penny,
to 76s 51Ad per ounce At the same time 1t
has offered to lend money at only 2lS per
cent on the security of gold the moment 1t
is shipped.
On the other hand the reaction in exchange
has, we learn, prevented anyone as yet from
taking advantage of this offer The sharp
advance in exchange Wednesday was due
to very heavy selling of Americans. The
decline in exchange yesterday was caused
by London's renewed purchases.
Should London again sell Americans, as
may occur in case the report of a British
victory in Natal is confirmed, exchange
would rise to the gold point and gold would
come. In the event of the absence of gold
arrivals from New York. London will be left
to its own resources and consequently there
would be a great demand for money at the
end of the year.
Engage Gold for shipment.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Wall street re-
ceived with little surprise today announce
ments of gold shipments to Europe. There
has been talk to that effect all through the
it was declared that exports were inevitable
The first engagement announced was that
of $500, 900 by the banking house of Belmont
G. Co. and although the news came from
the subtreasury, it was announced the gold
would not be drawn from that place. The
second announcement was from Barring, Ma
goun & Co., for 100000 and the third and
last announcement was of Koen, Loeb & Co.,
who engaged 100000 in double eagles. The
gold engaged today will leave on tomorrow's
steamers and 1t is believed that further en-
gagements will be made tomorrow.
Report had it that one of the biggest banks
in the city had completed arrangements to
ship big sum from the reserve in its
vaults, and two prominent foreign exchange
houses, not yet down for shipments, are
likely to be heard from.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-Late yesterday after
noon the Bank of England made further
advance in the buying price of American
eagles to 76s cd per ounce, which with the
special facilities granted by the bank in the
way of advances makes the price nearly
76s Sgd. No engagements for American
gold are announced at that price.

past few seasons by strong variety
attractions that have taken a holU

Ten Brock came before the public
in force comedy some some II years
ago they gave bright, breezy,
lively performance that proved
a success, and in doing so immed-
lately made friends with theatre
goers. This season they will make
the attempt of their lives to dupli-
cate and excel, if possible, any of
their previous efforts as run makers
and to accomplish that have
produced what is really a new
comedy. 1t is called "Dodge's Trip

merry makers it will amuse the tir-
