DISASTER AT SEA.
Unknown Bark and Twelve Men

ITO OaDIy Lost.
NORFOLK, Va, Dec 26.-The big
Johnson line steamer Noranmore arrived
here this afternoon, light from Liver

passages on record Capt Richardson

unknown bark founder at sea with her

last Saturday struck the Noranmore at
sea at night. The waves rolled over her
almost continuously. and would, Capt
Richardson says, have swamped an ordi-
nary ship. Soon after the storm arose
the Noranmore overhauled a strange
bark, which was on the point Of founder
ing. Only the stump Of one mast still
stood, the others having been cut or
carried away. Several lights were burn
ing aboard her, and twelve men, believed
from their gestures to be foreigners, were
seen running about her decks, which were
awash. A boats crew in one Of the No
ranmOre's boats was put over the side,
and the men pulled for the bark. The
boat was swamped almost Immediately
The men, who wore life Jackets, were
picked up by a second boat, which was
however, compelled to return to the No
ranmore.
While the rescue of these men was
being effected the bark disappeared in
the darkness, and Capt. Richardson says
that beyond doubt she and her crew went
down. Search made after day broke re-

WOOD IN CuRA

The reports already received from Ha-

something entirely untoward happens the
administration Of Gen. Wood, as governor
Of Cuba, will be as successful and as ac-
ceptable to the people of the island as
was his administration in his former Of
flee acceptable to the people of the prov
ince of Santiago.
Gen. Woods beginnings have all been
promising. To dispense with the issuing
of any proclamation, on his assumption
of power, was a clear indication of the
good sense of the men. That act Of It
self, made clearer his way to the SYM
pathies and good will of the Cuban peo-
pie than any other possible act or omis-

his way, showing how earnest and single

TRANscoNTINENTAL SYSTEM.
Proposed New Railway scheme, In
Guiding the Great Northern.


GLIDING the Great Northern.
CHICAGO. Dec 26-Paul Morton, third
vice president of the Santa Fe railroad,
may be asked to accept the position of
president OF the reorganized Kansas City,
Plttsburg d Gulf System. His name was
seriously considered at a meeting Of the
executive committee, lasting from early
afternoon till near midnight and plans
were discussed which, If carried out In
thelr entirety, will result in a new rail
way system which will reach from the
Atlantic to the Pacific seaboards and TO
the Gulf Of Mexico on the south. The
proposed transcontinental system neces-
STATED combination of the Baltimore
& Ohio syndicate and James ]. Hill. The
men who are in the scheme engineering
the deal explained it as follows:
AS soon as the reorganization of the
Gulf road and it's associated properties
is completed there will be a combination
with the system controlled by James J.
HILL BY the Port Arthur route the Gulf
road people will have lines running from
St Louis to Kansas City, and from Kan
sas City south to the gulf. Mr.. Hill con-
trolls the Great Northern, which runs
ives to the coast, the Baltimore & Ohio
and consequently the Baltimore & Ohio
southwestern. The plan Is to have Mr..
I'LL come into Omaha with the Great
Northern. and make connections with the
Omaha & St Louis road, which in turn
connects with the Gulf road at Kansas
City, thus giving a complete line from
the gulf to the Pacific coast. North the
combination will have the Omaha & ST.
Louis road and again the Hill system
VIII come in. By means Of the Balti-
more q Southwestern they would get
from st. Louis to Cincinnati and there

would take them east to the Atlantic

people, of aiding the Cubans to establish
will be best adapted to the needs and
requirements of the race, and to set the
machinery Of that government In motion.
AS Gen. Wood began his work in San
tiago by improving existing sanitary con-
ditions. so now he turns his hand at once
to the work of reopening the highways OF
| the island, which have been either blotted
out rendered impossible by the raw
ages of war. Easy access, at least by
the country road. is one of the first es-
sentials to establishing normal social con-
ditions on the island 1t is the first pre-
requisite to the revival OF domestic trade
| and commerce, and to social intercourse
among the people. 1t will materially aid
In putting an end to any traces of law
| lessness which may have survived the
| war, and will even end the false reports
Of briSandage and armed conspiracies
which have been sent up here from time
to time, doubtless in the interest of the
promoters who have stood at the door
hood of nations to defeat, if possible, the
mission. the only mission. which American
arms have had in Cuba.
Following all this up with the grim
assurance that neither social position nor
political influence will suffice to save
those who have been arrested for con-
spiracy to rob the Cuban people through
the Havana custom house from the pun
ishment they merit, he shows that he does
not propose, so far as It Is in his power
to prevent, that there shall be a resump-
| istration Of the affairs Of the new nation.
The Cuban people are to be congratulate
| ed. The G o has believed steadfast-
| ly in them from the beginning. 1t has
advocated the speediest restoration to
them of control Of their own affairs 1t
has defended them against the attacks of
their enemies and has exposed many
| falsehood affecting their good name as
people. All its contentious have been
maintained; and not even the most opti-
mistic view Of their concerns has been
found unwarranted when gagged by their
| conduct as whole since the withdrawal
| of the Spanish forces. Between Wood and
Gomez the honor will largely lie Of hav-
ing placed Cuba on its feet, thus realizing
the dreams and hopes Of many genera
| tons of Cuban patriots.

CHRIsTn1AS GENERns1rY.

The most remarkable circumstance
which an examination Of the daily press
| Of yesterday presents to view Is the
wonderfully generous provision all over
the country for the enjoyment Of Christ
mas by the poorer members of society.
The Geographic dispatches unite with the
local news articles in reciting the details
of this wondrous liberality. The same
spirit prevailed everywhere. Private bust
ness establishments We'd with private and
public charitable and benevolent organ
izations in the work. Charite BILE citizens,
church organizations, public institutions,
social and fraternal societies, all impos-
ed on themselves the obligation to see
to it that no one, however poor, might
suffer from the absence Of the character
istio good cheer Of Christmas time.
The student of all this beautiful display
of sympathetic feeling finds himself Won
dering whether the time Will ever come
when such a disposition Will manifest it.
self generally at seasons other than
Christmas, to make light the burden Of
the poor and to save ones deserving
fellow creatures from want. 1t is true
that the bountiful distribution of good
things at Christmas involves not little
self-sacrifice among individuals. But it
is also true that that distribution was not
Of the things which are regarded as abso-
lutely necessary to human wants, but
rather Of what most OF Gods creatures
regard as the luxuries of life.
This land Of ours is greatly pros
porous one. With a perfected distributive
system there need be nothing like want
prevalent among any of our industrious
population. All the good things which
were so lavishly distributed on Christmas
day were produced here at our very
DOORS. Their production gave added en-
ployment to the masses, and, SO far, en-
abled them to provide themselves
with a much larger proportion of the
luxuries than would otherwise be in
their power. The waste Of everyday life
was in a sense saved, and humanity in
the mass was the gamer in all that makes
life blessing and JOY.
This lesson of Christmas liberalfty is
a far-reaching ore to those who desire
to understand It. It may not give any
indication Of the approach of the day
when men and women will be at all times
intent on seeing to it that their deserving
fellow creatures shall not suffer for want
Of the necessaries of life; but at least it
teaches to US all that, with anything like
the spirit inculcated by the lessons Of
the Man of Calvary prevailing among
the American people. suffering from act
ual want can be made unknown among
US.
Whatever the future may hold for US in
this direction, 1t is none the less delight
full to reflect on the glorious display of
open-handed charity which Christmas has
brought with it from end to end of this
broad land.
Some say. that ever 'gainst that season
Wherein our Savior's birth is celebra ted,
The bird of dawnfng singeth all night
long:
And then. they say. no spirit dare stir
abroad;
The nights are wholesome; then no plan-
cts strike
No fairy takes. nor witch hath power to
charm.
So hailow'd and so gracious is the time"

BRAzNELL MINE HORROR.
More GruesOme Finds by the Seek

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Dec. 26.-With
sightless eyes peering into the dark
depths below, the corpse Of Andrew For
Der hung for three days and three nights
from beam half way UP the mine shaft
of the Braznell mine. The body was fifty
feet above the level of the mine, from
whence it had been blown by the force
of the explosion. Since the accident oc-
CURED living and dead men had been al
most constantly passing within few feet
of the corpse.
The accident wrecked both cages. One
was hastily repaired and operated on one
side of the shaft On the other side, with

hung Forber's body, but owing to the
darkness in the shaft it was not found
until today.
Two other bodies, or rather pieces, were
found this afternoon. They were located
deep among the debris and were worse
mangled than any yet found. The heads
and trunks were together but the arms,
hands, legs and feet were picked up here
and there, and placed in the same box.
They were foreigners, and 1t was tmpos-
sible to Identify them. One of the rescue
party said that much Of the bodies still
remained in the mine, and he shoveled UP
q great pile of fragments of flesh and
clothing which 1t was useless to bring
from the mine. With these three bodies
