PRUSSIA MAKES TERMS.
New York Life Receives the Most
Favorable Concessions.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-It is rumored here
that the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York, is to be readmitted
to Prussia on condition that it will de-
post with the Government the full policy
reserve on Prussian policies. This de-
posit to be made in Prussian securities.
If this deposit is made the Govern
ment will waive the requirement which
calls for the deposit of the company's
stocks amounting in the case of the
Mutual Life to $30,000,000
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany which was recently admitted to
Prussia was not called upon to deposit
the full reserve because it has agreed
10 dispose of all its stocks.
Its deposit with the Government is
therefore but half the amount required
of the Mutual Life.

St Johns. y. f., Jan. 2-(Saturday,
! a. m.l-The wreck and burning in st.
Mary's Bay, of an unknown two-masted
steamer with its crew of probably sixty.
and possibly some passengers, all perish
ing, is one of the worst marine disasters
in this section for a considerable period.
There is not the slightest prospect that
any soul aboard escaped death, rs the
intense mid-winter cold would kill any
who escaped drowning and the ill-fated
vessel was of nearly 5000 tons burden.
She went ashore before daybreak Thurs
day, striking Il ledge at the foot Of the
cliff, where escape was hopeless The
crew launched the boats, but probably
during the panic some were crushed
against her Sides others being swamped,
and all the occupants apparently perish
ing.
The ship was seen to be afire by resi-
dents six miles away. Attracted TO the
scene. they found the after half of the
wreck blazing fiercely, and the forepart
under water. Kerosene in the cargo
helped the blaze.
At that time only three men were left
on board. Two were on the bridge ana
one was in the rigging. Those on the
bridge were safe until about p. m.
when they We're washed overheard and
drowned, the bridge being carried away.
The survivor soon after left the rigging,
swan to the rocks and twice endeayored
TO get a footing Failing in this, he
made his way back to the rigging, where
he died Of exposure during the night.
Many dead bodies are visible tossing
in the surf. Two ofstheln thrown up in

Boaty and other wreckage are strewn

friday was more stormy than the
day before, and it was impossible TO
reach the wreck, which has gone to
pieces to such an extent that it has
sunk beneath the waves. A severe gale
is raging tonight which is likely to re-
duce her to fragments.
The wreck commissioner hopes TO be-
able to obtain her name today (Satur-
day.
Residents along the shore made every
possible effort to rescue the survivor in
the rigging, but lacking proper outfits,
they were unable to succeed.

Peters River reports that trunk filled
with women's clothing has been wash

as is used by woman on mans over

wear, evidently MANS marked with

cate that the ship had passengers.
