A VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD.
The Good Ship John Wade Did 1t in Eleven Months Fifty Years Ago.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 The John Wade, a Medford-built ship, was an average Yankee vessel of the early fifties, not in the same class with such extreme clippers as the Flying Cloud. Comet. Sovereign of the Seas, Shooting Star, Flying Fish and some oth- CTS, but "good'' for twelve knots an hour when the wind was favorable-a little for ward of the beam and in plenty
 Of about 80 tons measurement. she had "taunt' Qofty) masts, Square" Qarge and long) yards and great spread of can- vas stu-n-sails on main and fore up to the royals, an immense spanker, five headsails-inner, outer and flying jibs- fore and foretopmast staysails, crew of eighteen in the forecastle, carpenter, cook and steward.
 Our complete voyage around the world was just eleven months, sailing from Bos- ton September D. 1851. arriving in New York August 5, 1852 or, more in detail. 130 days to San Francisco around Cape Horn; thence on ballast to Hongkong and Whampoa, Canton, forty-lve days; thence to New York via Straits of Sun da and Cape of Good Hope. 115 days bal ance of time in port and not a rope was parted sail split, or spar 'carried away during the entire voyage.
 Four different crews were on board. as the men shipped in Boston ran away in San Francisco, and the next were only for the rum to Hong Kong, whence we hae crew entirely of Chinese to Wham- poa, and then the sailors of 'limejuicer' an English vessel, "encouraged" by an English sailor of our crew from San Fran cisco, took French leave in the night. when the Wade was ready for sea, and came on board for the passage to New York, and fine lot of men they proved to he.
 The English sailor, From" Bakewell also came home with us. and sailing soon after for Liverpool, was lost overheard from the jibboom in a heavy head wind anS sea
 It will appear strange to people of the present to learn that we carried onions to California as a part of our miscella- neous cargo. house the size of the main hatch. and six feet high, was made fast over the hatch, after the other cargo was slowed, and filled with onions through scuttle in the top. They did not all reach San Francisco, as many decayed, and not few were welcome addition to the fare in the forecastle, which, how ever, was the best of it's kind, as Boston ships always furnished.

CROWDS FLOCK ID HEAR CHAMBERLAIN Makes Another Great Tariff Speech at Leeds, England COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED Will Begin Work at Once Hearing Wit nesses-When This is Done Model
 Tariff Measure Will Be
 Framed.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED

Leeds, December 16.-Joseph Chamber lain addressed two immense audiences here tonight, making the last speeches sof his fiscal campaign for the present year. From the moment of MT. Cham berlain's arrival at Leeds, the enthusiasm
 was tremendous. The appearance of MT. Chamberlain on the platform, accompan- jed by Mrs. Chamberlain, was the signal for an ovation which continued many minutes.
 The first speech was made in the Coli scum before 5000 persons, and similar
 number attended the overflow meeting
 held afterwards in the town hall.
 The feature of Mir. Chamberlain's speech at the Coliseum was his announce
 ment of the fact that he has been getting
 together a committee to make inquiries
 among the various branches of trade at
 home and abroad. the work of which com-
 mittee he exepcted will result in clearing
 away many difficulties.
 Committee Will Begin Work.
 The committee will consist of about
 thirty business men of the highest stand ing who will begin their work in the
 near future. It will be composed of men from all centers of industries, both in the
 United Kingdom and in the colonies. Sub committees will be formed to deal with each branch of trade, and to take ex- | haustive evidence, meeting twice week
 until their. work is finished. When the
 reports are completed MT. Chamberlain says he expects to be in a position to
 formulate tariff bill acceptable to the country, which will not only foster im-
 perial trade, but which will enable Great
 Britain to give trade advantages to those who are prepared to render her similar favors.
 Continuing Mir. Chamberlain said: we have gone a long way in the direc- tion of forming a commission, not an o1- ficial commission but non-politic con-
 mission of experts to consider the pres ent condition of imperial trade, and to find remedies for it's defects.
 Will Form Tariff Measure. "It will invite before 1t witnesses from every trade and industry, and after hear ing all of them, this commission will frame a model tariff measure. When the government is ripe for action, tariff bill will be presented on which the public will have every opportunity of expressing it's opinion"
 The rest of MT. Chamberlains speech was largely repetition of his former arguments. He said he had been blamed for saying that preferential trade with the colonies would not mean an addition to the cost of living. In answer to this MT. Chamberlain quoted a letter from Charles Booth of the firm of Alfred Booth & Co. of Liverpool, in which MT. Booth said that he did not think MT. Cham berlains proposals would add to the cost of living, but that even if they did, that fact would not in MT. Booths opinion, detract from the merits of said proposals which, if carried out with reasonable pru- dence, would undoubtedly conduce to the national and imperial prosperity

AGREEMENT

Indications That tho Difficulties

Will Soon. Bs Adjusted.

London. Dec. 2.-The Japanese minister.
Baron Hayashi, received the news OF the
basis of the agreement reached between
Russia and japan through the exclusive
dispatch OF The Associated Press on the
subject from Paris last night. He said
That is splendid news. I have waited
long time I'm the hope OF hearing II.
with the basis reached II will only be a
short time before the treaty Is signed.
The whole difficulty so far has been to
arrive at basis satisfactory to both ma
tions."
Regarding the suggested arbitration OF
the difficulties between Japan and Russia,
Baron Hayashi remarked
mo such proposition has been men,
toned TO me and doubt IL the Manchur-
ian question could be settled by what
method. The Hague court appears to me
10 exist more for the purpose OF inter-
preting knotty points OF existing treaties
than for dealing with such a territorial
question as Manchuria-"
The other embassies here are inclined TO
take n similar view of the arbitration
suggestion.
Baron Hayashi denies that Japan has
purchased or Is negotiating for either the
Chilean or Argentine warships built In
Europe for those republics.

Contracts In the New York District

New York. Dec. Att is announced that
the American Bridge company has decid-
ed TO give up for the present its con-
struction department 80 far as the New
