ELECTRICAL DISPLAY AT SEA.
Passengers and Crew Terrified By
st. Elmo Lights.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The Orange Mas

which arrived here from a South Ameri-
can port yesterday, ran into an electrical
storm on Saturday that struck terror to
the passengers
With the lightning playing all about her,
the ship seemed 20 he charging a bat
terry of artillery, when with an uneypect-
edness equal to the breaking Of the gale,
the masts and rigging were ilIumined in
the half gloom by great balls Of light vari-
coIored St Elmo's fire.
Already 5enumbed with fear, the steer
age passengers cried aloud in their terror
at this new visitation, and many, dropping
to their knees, prayed and wept. The sail
ors, caIlous to the preceding demonstra-
tons. were more concerned at the latter
display. for St EImo's fire is thought to
be harbinger Of misfortune. II took the
best efforts Of the officers to restore order
Il was part of the storm which worked
such vast devastation on the land that the
Orange Nassau struck
The disturbance was not wholly unex-
pected for the sky had become overcast

hour when the gale broke in its fury
Great sheets of lightning seemed to
stream from the whole sky. while the
thunder was continuous and deafening-
As If the crash had let loose the pent-up
elements, the St Elmo's fire appeared af-
ter a terrific thunder clap In puppies
and pinks, in greens and red, the light
cleaned at the mast heads along the rat
lines outlining the net work OF ropes and
braces that formed the rigging

Waiting Developments in China.

We do not know whether or not 1t
could justly be said that the Council of
Ministers in Pekin has grown apathetic
or Indifferent; but at any rate no fresh
progress appears &c be made as farSs
the public can see. 1t may be that the
ENJOYS are waiting for their respective
Foreign Offices to arrive at decisions
and to formulate policies in view of the
Manchurian situation, and the serious
differences existing between Russia
and Japan, before taking further &C
ton.
In the meantime the. Franco-Ger-
man expedition is apparently concen-
trating for 4 movement against KUku-
an Pass. on the Shansi border, where
General Won LessleE expects to en-
counter the Chinese under General Liu,
unless the latter shall have received
and obeyed Emperor Ewang Hsu's al
legged order to retire behind the pro
vinciaI boundary Native statements
to the effect that he already has done
so are accepted with many grains of
allowance. Orientalists are by no
means satisfied that the Chinese are
not preparing for another attempt to
resist the foreigners It is not encour-

force upon a company Of Punjaub in

DEAL FOR THE ROGERS WORKS
The Sale May Be Blocked by n Troll
ley Company.

PATERSON, N. J., April ga hitch
has occurred in the negotiations for the
purchase of the Rogers Locomotive
Works. BY the terms of the purchase the
new syndicate was to get the Grant Lo-
connective Works.
a few months go the trolley company
bought the Grant Works. When the new
locomotive syndicate desired larger
plant the trolley company consented to
relinquish the Grant Works on condition
that suitable place could be obtained
for trolley repair shop jersey Street
was selected. and William Dalzell owns
the property desired but the price asked
for il is regarded as eXOTbitant. Hence.
it appears that if the trolley company
cannot get what it wants for a repair
shop 1t will not give up the Grant Works,
and this may block the sale Of the Rogers
Works

The abolition of the post exchange in
the army has had the effect expected. in
a sad increase Of drunkenness and insub-
ordination among The enlisted men. A
press despatch from Chicago this morn
ing states that the officers IN charge of
Fort Sheridan are discouraged over the
results, and declare that the post was
never at such a low e5b in point OF good
order and discipline as it has been since
the crank anti-canteen law became opera

The British horse breeders would have
been delighted II the Beers could have
stopped the shipment Of American horses
to South Africa Their influence upon the
Government recently became strong
enough to induce the War Office to give
their cattle a chance in the army. They
would like 10 shut our animals out of the
United Kingdom entirely by an import tax
Of forty dollars per head. bur this the min
istry has so far been unwilling TO grant
It is questionable II horses raised in the
climate Of England or Ireland are as de-
sirable for service in South Africa as are
the hardy variety bred in the American
West, but the English horses are to have
preference in the army for a time, and,
doubtless, largely as an experiment.
