STEAMER BULGARIA.
Her Owners Have No Fear az to
Her Safety.

LONDON, Feb. 13-The Hamburg,
American Steamship Company has is-
sued an assuring statement regarding
the company's steamer Bulgaria, re-
ported in a dispatch from Ponta del
Gada, Azores, yesterday as drifting
helplessly 800 miles from the Azores,
where twenty-five passengers, women
and children, were taken from her by
the tank steamer Weewaukeen and
landed at Ponta del Gada. The COM
panys statement is to the effect that
they have been advised that the Bull
garia's rudder was injured, but that
her commander, Captain Schmidt, enc
of the oldest and most efficient ship
masters, evidently considered the acci-
dent SO little dangerous that he de-
clined the Weewaukeen's offer to take
the Bulgaria in tow.
Lloyds' agent at ST. Michaels, Azores,
cables that the steamer Weehawken
reports that the Bulgaria, when spoken
on February 9th, in lat. 40, long. 43,
was in a sinking condition, with three
holds full of water, her rudder broken
and. her machinery disabled. The agent
says the Weehawken lost her boats,
and arrived with her bunkers full Of
water.
The agents of the Hamburg American
Steamship Company here admit that
the last news as to the Bulgaria's con-
ditien when sighted by the Weehawken
is graver than they had at first sup
posed developments would show. They
are still hopeful. however, that the rest
of the crew and passengers have been
rescued by other steamers in the vi
cinity.
The Daily Mall tomorrow will pub
fish dispatch from Ponta del Gada,
Azores Islands, saying that the Bull
garia had crew Of ninety-eight and
carried forty -one passengers and that
the Weehawken rescued twelve mem-
be1s of the crew and eleven passengers.

FINANCIAL REFORM.
Secretary Gage Says It II Neither
Dead Nor Asleep.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Secretary of the
| Treasury Lyman ]. Gage and Mrs.
Gage were in Chicago Sunday to at
tend the funeral of DR.. Elhridge. Be"
fore leaving for Washington to-day
Secretary Gage said: Financial re-
form is neither dead nor asleep. This
extraordinary prosperity of the Gov
ernment finances and of the business
country has combined with the glut
of important business in Congress to
delay it. But the delay only adds to
the. sense of it's Importance, and makes
it clearer every day what legislation
| is needed do not look for action at
the present session of Congress. but
have no doubt that the next session will
give effect to the recommendations of
the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury in regard to the retirement
of the greenbacks.
ssWill there be an extra session of
Congress? That depends on the fate
of the army bill. If Congress does not
pass that Fill at the present session,
there will certainly be an extra ses-
sion. The situation as it stands does
not give us any uneasiness. The oppo-
sition to the American occupation is
entirely the effect of manipulation. The
leaders have temporarily misled the
people. But the strife will soon be
over, and as soon as the natives have
become quiet, so as to listen to reason,
we have no fear that they will not
acquiesce in all that we propose to do
there. As to the islands being Heavy
tax on this country. that is all moon
shine. The revenues of the Philippines
will at all times be ample to defray all
possible expenses of government.
I'VE feel even more hopeful in re-
gard to Cuba. Industries are reviving,
there is a spirit of cooperation and the
island will in the near future be more
prosperous than it's people ever ex-
pected it could be.
Our trade relations with Canada
seem to be difficult to adjust to the
satisfaction of both countries. Mr..
Charlton would sweep away the ma
tional frontier and make business in
tercourse as untrammeled between the
two countries as it is now between two
of our States. But think the day is
a good way off when such reciprocity
as that will be regarded with favor in
this co,,vfrvY
