THE WRECK STILL UNKNOWN
VESSEL IN ST. MARY's BAY NOT YET
IDENTIFIED

st. Johns N. F., Jan. 15-The latest adj
vices destroy many theories propounded con-
corning the wreck at st. Mary's Bay, and render
it more mysterious than ever. Owing to the
continuance of turbulent seas 1t is impossible to
launch boats or to venture down TO the beach
with any safety. Bodies and wreckage are still
visible the latter increasing the ship breaks
up
The colonial cruiser Fiona is now at the wreck,
and a diver Will go down in the morning If the
sea permits Failing this, an attempt will be
made to effect landing in Sculpin Cove. where
there are two bodies and almost an entire boat
1t seems highly probable that the name OF the
vessel will be learned tomorrow.
The firm of Bowrings shipowners, Of st.
Johns whose New-York house is Bowring &
Archibald, have oil tank steamer named
Snowflake, which sailed from New-York on Jan
uary for Southampton and London, and it is
feared that she may possibly be the unfortunate
ship The tunnels of the Bowrings' vessels are
black and white, with a red cross. According to
calculations the Snowflake would have been
near Cape Race on Wednesday night last, when
the wreck occurred.
The tug Ingraham left here this morning for
ST. Mary's Bay, with police and divers on board.
The steamer Terra Nova will follow her this
afternoon in the interest of the BoWrings. when
the vessels rea III the wreck organized at
tempt will be made to learn the vessels name.
The New-York house of Bowrng & Archibald
said yesterday afternoon that, while the wrecked
steamer might possibly be the Snowflake, they had
heard nothing to warrant such belief adding that
that vessel has three masts while all previous re-
ports received stated that the wrecked steamer
had only two.
In reply TO a telegram to Bowring Brothers, of
St Johns Bowring & Archibald have received the
following:
Cannot identify steamer. Our steamer now on
the way. The huh is entirely submerged and the
mite information. There quantities of oil in
the vicinity of the wreck.

BOXING.
THINKS CHOYNsKI WAS CHEATED.
GEORGE sILER. THE REFEREE. SAYS MANY
OTHER FAKE PRIZEFIGHTS HAVE
BEEN HELD HERE.

There is an old saying that when certain class
of people fall out honest folks get their dues.
If the prizefghtng fraternity continues TO tell ths
public of the faxed prizefghts which have been
held in this State since the advent of the Horton
law some other folks will begin to think that there
never has been anything strictly honest in the
whole show George Siler. of Chicago who has
refereed many of the big fights in this district,
adds his little Bit the prizefghting scandal
which has broken out with much fury since
Choynski was apparently robbed the Broadway
Athletic Club the other night Ser says that he
has doubt that Choynsk cheated out
of the victory and he goes further and enumerates
several other fights in this neighborhood which, in
his opinion fakes pure and simple. Ser's
words plain and TO the point so plain, indeed,
that II Is doubtful if the professional promoters
viii give him an engagement to referee again in
this city. Meanwhile, the general public, or at
least the self-respecting portion OF IT, has already
made up its mind, and hopes sincerely that the
Legislature will do its duty and repeal the obnox-
i9us Horton law, and thereby compel the profess
with which to induce the public to part with its
hard earned dollars.

In interview recently the Foreign Minister,
Lagerham, discussed the political differences be-
tween Sweden and Norway. He said he thought
the alleged unfriendliness mostly the sur
face, and that if the time arrived to test the
solidarity of the union the two peoples would
be found back to back The political differences
he added. could be smoothed over by mutual con-
cessions, The Minister also expressed his irrevO-
cable determination to oppose the Norwegian de-
mand for a separate Foreign Minister as unconsti-
tuuonal, saying it would be equivalent to disso-
luton of the union. which the Minister consid-
cred the peace and happiness of both countries
were dependent.
Sweden. he continued would never agree TO such
a change, and it useless for the Norwegian
Storthing to try to lass law over the King s
veto, in the same way the new Flag law was
passed.
The Minister. in conclusion, expressed the hope
that the Swedes and Norwegians in the United
States would not allow their relations to be dis
turbed by the frequent political troubles at home.

"Fenian Raid, 1866"
Mr.. Counter at the time the first raid
was made was youth. but had been
enrolled in the militia q Fenwick as

Of this kind had been expected while
he Civil War in the United States was
in progress, in cooperation with SYM
pathizers on the Canadian side. The
Fenians. composed almost to a man of
Irish or Irish-Americans, organized
their bands in 1863 in Chicago; the or
der, however, did not attract much at
tentiOn except in Canada, until 1865.
when congress was held in Cincin-
natl. Eighty thousand men were said
TO be enrolled as members in the Unit
"a States, and early in 1866 several at
tempts were made by the Fenians in
the United States to invade the British
provinces. but all except two were frus-
trated by the United States authorities.
The two companies who succeeded in
crossing the Canadian frontier were
speedily driven back. and most OF
those who returned were taken prison
ers by the authorities and sent on pa
role to their homes. 1t was in this en-
gagement that Mr.. Counter took part
and was in the thickest of the melee.
during the two hours fighting. Few of
the Canadians were injured but quite
I number OF the Fenians were wound
cd. Mr.. Counter remained in the vol

retired: later he received the brevet OF
captain.
Andrew Browns fighting career did
Got commence until 1870, when, a. a
lember of the Montreal Volunteer En-
-ineers. he assisted i'm repelling the
second invasion. Brown was not hurt
at all, but says two OF the Fenians
were killed and the rest repulsed and
driven across the border.
Canada has at last recognized the
worth Of the defenders OF thirty-four
years ago, and all the surviving mem
bers of the various military OTganiZa-
lions participating in the raids, have
been presented with gold medals. On
February 23d last in Norfolk Ontario.
The formal presentations took place.
Street parades of the veterans, enthu-
siastic meetings in the evening, and a
general recalling of the old days when
IN gun was an important factor in pre-
serving the Dominion of Canada to
England, were features which Messrs.
Counter and Brown were sorry to have
missed Andrew Brown also served in
the Riel rebellion later on.
