RESCUED FROM SINKING SHIP.
Crew of Schooner Graham Picked Up
by the Clifford.

Crew of Schooner Graham Picked UP
by the Clifford.
New York, Feb. 12.-The schooner
which was burned to the waters edge
of point north of Cape May Monday
night was the Mary Graham, lumber
laden, Norfolk for New York, and the
crew is safe. They were picked up
by the schooner ]. G. Clifford. Cap
tain F. H. Medley and five seamen
composed the crew of the Graham.
The schooner was caught in the ice
coming out of the Delaware river, and
the captain, fearful that he would be
crushed or blown ashore, dropped both
anchors, being eight and a half miles
north of Cape May. The schooner
was leaking and the crew was kept at
the pumps. They suffered terribly
from cold. Heavy seas were breaking
over the vessel and the bowsprit was
carried away. Soon both masts went
by the board. In falling over the side
the mast carried away the only boat.
This left the crew helpless and their
only hope lay in being picked up.
The schooner was one mass of ice
from stem to stern, and to add to the
peril the captain found she was in dan
ger of sinking. To tighten her the cap
tain had 10000 feet of lumber thrown
overheard. Despite all efforts the
schooner was settling rapidly, when
the j. G. Clifford, also lumber laden,
hove in sight. The rescue was accom-
plished with much difficulty owing to
the ice pack around the schooner.
Seeing that there was no chance of
saving the vessel, Captain Medley set
fire to it before entering the Clifford's
boat.

weather and the purchase of supplies
and of enjoying the privileges of the
port until the season opens for them
to engage in the unlawful and barbar-
GUS determination of the fur seal in
violation of the laws of the United
States and the international agree
ment with Great Britain. Until further
advised on the subject you are In
structed to cease the collection of ton
mage dues on this lass of vessels
from all countries, and to refuse them
the privilege of the port, water or fuel
and treat them in all respects as yes.

ANeLo-JAPANEsE ALLIANCE.
Agreement to Preserve the Integrity
of China and Korea.

Agreement to Preserve the Integrity
of China and Korea.
London, Feb. 12.-An important par
liamentary paper was issued last night,
giving the details of practical alli-
ance between Great Britain and Japan
for the preservation of China and
Korea. The information covers a dis
patch sent by Lord Lansdowne = the
British minister at Toxic, Sir Claude
Mcdonald, and comprised a signed
copy of the agreement. In explanation,
the paper says the agreement may be
regarded as an outcome of the events
of the past two years. Throughout
the Boxer troubles Great Britain and
Japan had been in close and uninter-
rupted communication and actuated by
similar views.
1--WE each DESIRE" says Lord Lans-
downe. that the integrity and inde-
pendence OF the Chinese empire should
be preserved and that there should be
no disturbance of the territorial statu
quo, either in China or the adjoining
regions"
The discovery that their far eastern
policies were Identical, resulted in
each party to the agreement express
ing it's desire that their common policy
find expression in an international
contract of binding validity
1t provides that if either Great Britain
or Japan, in defense of their respective
interests, should become involved in
a war with another power. the other
contracting party will maintain strict
neutrality and use its efforts to pre-
vent other powers from joining in the
hostilities against its ally. If any
other power should join in hostilities
against that ally, the other contracting
party will come to it's assistance and
will conduct war in common and will
make peace in mutual agreement with
it.

MOLINEAUX TRIAL

New York. Oct. 3O.-COunsel for the
defense in the Molineux trial moved
today that the court direct the jury to
acquit the defendant on the ground
that the evidence was insufficient. JUS
tice Lambert denied the motion.
Former Governor Black in moving
MolineuX's acquittal said the evidence
given was not sufficient to warrant n
conviction. that there was no evidence
that the defendant had ever had in his
possession cyanide Of mercury or the
bottle holder in which the poison was;
and that he did not mail the poison
package and that there was no proof
whatever connecting the defendant
with the crime charged.
At the close of Governor Blacks ar
gument Justice Lambert said II will
deny the motion for the present and
will hear all the evidence"
Mr.. Black then asked the court to
permit him TO make his opening ad-
dress TO the jury tomorrow and JUS
tice Lambert acquiesced, declaring

There Is a strong likelihood that we

In twelve days, twelve hours and forty

the bridge The Korea's performance
was the main topic of conversation in
marine circles yesterday. and the pre-
diction was made that her brilliant rec
ord will stand for many a day-unless
her sister ship Siberia surpasses it.
The Korea was under orders to make
time across the Pacific. Her outward
trip was not particularly creditable. so
far as speed was concerned. and Cen
eral Manager Schwerin cabled to Cap
tain Seabury to omit Honolulu on the
return trip and reach home as fast as
possible. Leaving the Yokohama
breakwater. the prov Of the big liner
breasted the waves on the great circle
route for San Francisco, and for the
day ending on October 10 logged 1874
miles. averaging ia knots an hour.
, The following day she made 4l9 knots,
with an average of l7.9, and the day
after made 424 knots. averaging ISL
an hour. Her best days run was 436
knots. on October %. when an average
| of 1876 knots an hour was maintained.
Throughout the entire run from Yo-
kohama the hourly average was IFS

duplication of the date of October %
being accounted for by the fact that
day is gained in crossing the 1S0th

The Korea's fine run was in fair
weather. and only six of the eight boil
ers were used. with a daily consump-
ton Of about lT5 tons Of coal. This is
considered as a rather favorable show
ing, and not only Captain Seabury, but
the chief engineer and other officers
spoke in the highest praise Of the big
vessels seaworthiness and general ca
pabilities. There was some high wind
during the run, but not sufficient to
hinder huge steamship Of the koreas
tonnage. The passengers Of the steam
er expressed the greatest satisfaction
with her.
On the outward trip. while at Yoko'
hama, Captain Seabury was severely
injured by making a misstep while get
ting into a sampan. Falling, he cut Nh
right leg, below the knee. and for
nearly three weeks was compelled to
use clutches. Before arriving home
however, he had practically recovered
from the effects OF the injury.
