CREW RESCUED IN HIGH SEA
THE SCHOONER ROSINA BEING POUND
ED TO PIECES OFF ROCKY POINT.

Greenport Long Island. Dec. 9-The schooner
yacht Rosna is aground OFF Rocky Point. She
is pounding hard on the rocks, and as the wind
holds high and in bad direction for her it is
thought she cannot be saved. Her crew was
taken off to-day by the life savers from the
Rocky Point station.
The Rosina On December 1 passed from her
builders. firm at Lynn. Mass. to her owner
Harry T. MeIpass of Philadelphia She is 60
feet long Mr.. Melpass had sent crew around
from Philadelphia to take the schooner to that
city.
The departure from Lynn was made on De-
cember 2. She had bad weather from the start
and when near Martha's Vineyard ran into
rough seas and high winds. Her small boats
were both carried away by waves. She was also
slightly damaged She put into Woods Hole.
where two new boats were obtained and what
repairs appeared necessary were made.
Her intended course was through Long Island
Sound, He'll Gate New-York Bay. and thence
down the Jersey Coast to Atlantic City, where
she was to await orders. She left Woods Hole
yesterday afternoon and made good progress
until about o'clock this morning, when the
wind shifted and began to blow from the north-
west. While standing in and facing high wind
her steering gear gave way. and, despite the ef-
she drifted toward the rocks Her anchors
would not hold, and she was soon in difficulty.
Distress signals were given and seen by the
Rocky Point crew.
The schooner was too far out for the gun, so
the surfboat was manned at o'clock. and after
an hours hard work the life savers were along
side the schooner. The four men on board were
transferred to the Hfeboat with much difficulty,
as the surfboat could not be brought close
enough for them 10 get to it without sinking
in the water. line was passed from the
schooner to the surfboat. and along this the
men made their way. They were taken to the
station and cared for.

PEACE WORK AT PEKING.
MINISTER'S ALMOST READY TO MEET
CHINA'S ENJOYS.
CAPITAL - INTERNATIONAL
CLUB OPENED.

Peking Dec 9.-Au the foreign ENJOYS except
Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British Minister.
have received instructions from their govern
ments agreeing to the joint note proposed at the
last meeting. Another meeting will probably
be called for Tuesday next Should the Brit
ish Minister have received his instructions to
sign the joint note by that time, communIca-
ton will be Immediately opened with Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang. who are in daily
touch with the Court by the Chinese telegraph.
Prince Ching says Emperor Kwang Su is
ready TO return as assured that the ne
gotiations will allow him to come under condi-
tions consonant with his dignity and safety.
The removal of General Tung Flu Hsiang from
the command of the Chinese forces surrounding
the Court is considered by the foreign ENJOYS
to be very important step. as showing the real
desire of the Government to come to terms. His
Punishment indicates that the Court recognizes
the expediency Of obeying the demands OF the
Powers
The International Club was opened to-day. its
object being to bring together in a spirit of So
cial harmony the officers and diplomats OF the
various nations There was a large company
present. and music was discoursed by military
bands 1t is expected that the club will con-
tnue a great success The building was for
merly an Imperial temple.
The ENJOYS are considering the question of
legation buildings in the future. At present
none Of the governments own their buildings. al
the houses being rented. The only ones not
damaged considerably are the American. British
and Russian. 1t is proposed that all the lega-
tion buildings should be concentrated within a
square mile west OF the Tartar city. that each
building should be owned by the government;
using it. and that the whole should be surround
ed by moat and drawbridges, having an inter
national guard sufficient to protect the legations
against any repetition of the recent attack. The
only other buildings which it is proposed to
allow within the inclosure with the legation
houses and the necessary offices would be the
foreign clubs.

He was expected 10 speak on the Ship Subsidy
bill now pending in Congress. and he spoke at
considerable length discussing matters Of interstate
and international commerce. In the first part OF
his remarks he merely alluded to the Subsidy bill
by saying that he had made some inquiry concern
ing the building of boats in this country and on
the CLYDE and found that he could have them con-
structed in this country at much lower hSure
than in Scotland. This, he declared. did not look
much as though a subsidy needed for shipping
II such a measure were passed 1t would, in ms
opinion assist most those who needed no assistance.
and he mentioned the ocean greyhounds as those
most likely to be benefited
In the close Of his speech he said concerning tne
proposed measure:
