A TERRIBLE TRIP.

Halifax, N. S., Novemb ber M.-The
American bark Silicon which arrived at
st. Johns, N. f., on Friday last. had a
terrible trip of 101 days in trying unsuc-
csssfully to reach Ivigtut, Greenland, to
load kryoIite fer Philadelphia. One man
o Swede named Nelson, was lost over
board and when the bark anchored In st.
Johns the supply of coal, food and fresh
water was almost exhausted. An inter-
view with Captain Jensen ELECTED the
fact that this was the worst voyage he
ever had In twenty-three years at sea,
aud since 'S3 In the kryolite trade. He
took load of turpentine from Savannah
to Hull, then he went to Copenhagen,
leaving for Greenland on August IA. On
.he 25tn while in the North sea just at
dark one Of she crew, Otto Nelson,
young Swede, while making fast the fly
ing jlp lost his hold ana fell into the sea.
He was never seen again. Contrary
winds put the bark far out OF her course
and the captain decided to make for st
Johns. The owners now order the voyage
abandoned and the vessel will return
home to Philadelphia.

Necessary.
Hawaii Shows Difficulty of Insu-
lar Annexation.

New York, November 27.--The Com
merciaI Advertisers Washington special
quotes Senator Hale ON the outlook for
legislation at the coming session Of Con-
gress:
1--WE have won a great and deserved
victory" he says. 1.-The people have ex-
pressed their faith In the administration
and have committed the entire govern
ment to the Republican party for at least
another Congress Our victory has been
brought about by the votes of hundreds
of thousand of men who did not all agree
on everything that Is claimed to be Re.
publioanism.
"The present condition in China where
the administration has been singularly
wise and conservative, has shown US how
our oriental experiments are likely 60 In
voIve us in every eastern complication.
"what will be the best thing to do in
the near future with the Philippine ques-
tion 1t is difficult to say. but the party
and the administration can be trusted.
1--WE must help the Cubans j1st as fast
as possible to set up their own govern.
ment. The business influences OF the
island Will be in sympathy with us and
all the Cuban foreign policy will bs
largely subordinatud to ours, but the Gu
bans have got to run their own govern
ment machinery and the sooner that is
done, the better.
"Porto Rico will take care of itself.
"Hawaii is showing that insular an
nexation Is no easy thing to manage AL
ready tine popular vote has decided
against the administrator policy and
against the Republican party. look for
difficulties Of many kinds in the manage
ment OF those islands, but good sense and
good Judgment, caution and conservatism
will bring the party and the country out
all right"
| Senator Hale does not believe very
much will be done by Congress this win
ter except to pass appropriation bills.
"Perhaps the subsidy bill will pass,
he says, land there may be some tinker
ing with the army, but sooner or later
the latter will be found a hornets nest
for Congress to deal with. take 10 for
granted too, that we win pass re-appor-
tionment bill. i do not see anything at
present that will interfere with the
prompt execution Of the work that is abb
solutely necessary, which If left nndone
would necessitate an extra session OF
Congress.

Federal Judge Declares . City Council
Has No Power to Reduce Rates OF
Street Car Fare.

Detroit, Mich, March sO.--Judge
Swan, in the United States district
court here. rendered decision which
denies the validity of an ordinance
passed some months since by the city
council requiring the street railway
companies TO reduce rates of fare TO
three cents. The court says there is
nothing in the charter Of the city
which authorizes such an ordinance,
and allows an injunction to restrain
the city from enforcing It, Said
Judge Swan:
To enforce this ordinance would be
an act not OF regulation. but Of spolla-
tion. The power includes the general
management as regards the protection OF
life and property and the accommoda-
tton OF the public but the legislature IL
self could not effect the fares agreed up
on. II might be for the welfare OF the
public that fares should be abolished al
together, but that would be confiscaton
