FISHING TLEET BAlIERED.
Recent Storm Caused Heavy Loss 10
eIe NeaaeIn an t!,e Gannd BnMlsn.

shS Vessels Gn tse GRAND BOnizss
st. Johns, \. r.. Sent. 23-The
schooner Jessie, from the Grand Banks,
arrived and reports heavy losses to the
fishing fleet during the recent storm The
Jessie broke adrift from her moorings
and drove before the gale. She reports
that Il large American vessel, name un-
known, foundered with all her crew.
which probably numbered IS or 20. and
that the French vessel Marie also foun-
dered. OF her crew of 16 only 6 escaped.
Another French vessel was beaten to
pieces and sank, the crew being rescued
by the nearest schooner. The Jessie
sighted several American vessels in diff
ferent parts of the banks flying distress
signals and cruising about, showing that
the ships had lost their dorymen who
were fishing over the shadows when the
storm began and We're unable to reach
the ships. All these have probably per-
ished.
The Canadian vessels suffered as badly,
losing men, spars, dories and gear. The
officers of the Jessie say the gale was the
worst ever seen on the banks. The whole
fleet was battered, and the surrounding
water was covered with wreckage.
Among the Newfoundland vessels fishing
on the inner hanks the loss Of life was
smaller. The Rambler. with five men;
the Ettie, with three, and the Rosebud,
with three, are so far reported lost. The
damage done to vessels was considerable,
and Il numbr are not yet reported.
The damage done to the vessels is SO
great that il is believed that the fishing
will be abandoned for the remainder OF
the season. as every ship in the fcet
must make port to reit. Not half a dozen
schooncrs have anchors or cables intact

Shanghai. Sept. 23.-The emperor and
the empress dowager refuse to denounce
Prince Tuan and other members of the
imperial clan who sympathize with the
Boxers, and it is evident that that crowd
is on top again. Tho worst edict that has
been issued by the throne since the fight
of the court from Peking has just been
received here from Tayuen-fu. After
the arrival of the allies at Peking three
edicts were issued, and each of them Bit
terly denounced the Boxers. The edict
bears date of Sept. II and reads as fol-
lows:
The Edict.
"Boxers and Christians do not appre-
ciate the fact that both the Boxer and
Christian communities are our people and
are regarded by us in tho same light If
the Christians go about their usual busi-
ness we will protect them and they will
have no occasion for fear. The viceroys
and governors Of all provinces must in

pose II the Christians understood our

tics.
"Many Boxers have become seditious,
and we cannot hut distinguish between
the good and the bad. High officials
should also instruct their suIjordinatos to
command the Boxers to dispcrse and re-
turn to their farms. If they dare to rc

to be the reply of the emperor and en-

the vengeance which Prince Tuan's party
proposes to wrcak on the officials of the
southern provinces who have been friend
~ to foreigners.
The taotai's successor is Cheng, who
has held Il similar position in Wuchang.
He has had no experience in foreign af-

Joseph Jefferson, in his younger days,

said that he once even interrupted Jay
Gould at board meeting rather than
be detained over time in New York
Jefferson had lost the transfer check
for his baggage and wanted to get that
baggage rechecked without it. The
minor officials were in a great hurry
and refused to listen TO him. "If YOU
haven't your check we can't tend to you
for an hour" said one. What" cried
the actor, bouncing about the platform,
well see about that! Is there any
body in authority here? Any director
or any thing?" WELL" sneered burly
baggage tosser, there's Mr.. Jay Gould
in the board room. Fetch him!" cried
Mr.. jefferson. "Fetch him this in

porter. "WeH, then, shall get him my
self" and he dashed upstairs into the
office and proceeded to explain things
to Mr.. Gould. Now, Jay Gould was q
man who did not fancy Interruptions to
business, so when the painting employe
entered and asked: "Shall l give him
the baggage?" the financier replied:

him the depot if he wants it!"-Troy

Two Gifts,

Generosity takes two forms: one pats
its object on the shoulder, the other on
the heart. 1t is the province of royalty
alone to act the host as did the sultan
of Turkey recently, when he poured
into the hands of the kaiserin of Ger
many handful of diamonds, the small
est of which was worth over So GOO; but
kindlier and more imitable example
was once set by the grandfather of the
kaiser. Just 20 years ago Kaiser Will
liam l. visited Baden-Baden and strolled
incognito through the shops of the
city. Two peasants from the neighbor-
ing Black forest, evidently young man
and his sweetheart, wistfully eyed some
little object, timidly asked its price,
and on hearing it, almost tearfuIIy
turned away. The grand and kind old
kaiser had noted it all. The peasant
pair had just reached the exit from the
enclosure, when one of the people of the
shop came up to them and placed
packet in their hands. with the words
whispered low: by the will of the
kaiser. Companion.

kandshake to the rest, and was about put
ting foot on the side steps to pass to the
boat that was swinging high and low on the
running seas, when my attention was caught
by the face of girl who rose through the
companion and stood startlingly clear
against the black background of the night.
The bright lamplight from the cabin flooded
and brought out every detail of her features.
lr was but the face and bust saw, the open
door cutting off the lower part of her figure,
but twas the face of an angel, and for an in
slant forgot to move, looking at her as l
would at beautiful picture
And picture she made as she stood there
turned toward us. High breeding showed in
the delicate contour of chin and cheek. dark
eyes and clearly cut straight nose, but twas
the small mouth with its fine red lips half
open as though in inquiry that held me by
its sweetness, while the mass of auburn hair,
dressed high, as was the fashion of the times,
gave touch of perfection to her counte-
nance.
The vision-for twas more akin to a
vision than reality-lasted but breath, for
Scammeu thrust his form betwixt us, ard

though. A bonny lass she is, an a lonely
one, having no great love for her guardian,

with, saving Scammell. Did We mark the

From this and other rambling talk gath

in favor with Gen. Clinton-and that one o.
them, Mrs. Badely, was the famous beauty
to whom the doughty knight had given hi,
