IN PERIlOUS POSITION.
Bark Onoway Very Near Rocks Off
Cape Elizabeth.

Portland. Me, Dec. 21.-The 932-ton bark
Onoway of this city was in rc!ilous po-
sition off Richmond's island near Cape
Elizabeth today, and it WAS feared this
afternoon she would be blown upon thc,
rocks. The bark arrived off Richmond'S 4
island early today in tow of the tug Pris-
ella from Gloucester, and as it was de-
Ci'ed to be ineXpcdient to attempt to pass
around the cape the bark was loft in a
somewhat sheltered position and the tug
proceeded into this harbor. The h ,rk lays
over hard holding ground, and tn" south
castrrly gales are expected to drive her
upon the rocks.
A light snow this morning was follow
Cd by a heavy fanfall which continued all
day.
Tho bark was riding at anchor when the
view was cut off from the Cape Eiizl
beth life saving station by thick weather.
the middle of the afternoon. AT dark no
signals of distress had been made and as
the wind had abatcd somewhat the men
at the life saving station were of the
opinion she would suffer no injury.
The telephone connection with tn" LIT"
saving station was disabled bv the storm.
but as the wind changed late in the after.
noon the towDoat officials w"r" firmly
convinced that the bark was safe and
that sometime Friday, with the condI-
tons improving as they have during the
latter part of the day. the bark will be
able to get into port with the assistance

READY FOR TROUBLE.
Shanghai Foreign Settlement Has
First class Volunteer Guard.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Touching the
possibility Of such an uprising III
Shanghai on the part of the natives as
would seriously endanger foreigners
lives and property. an official who has
seen long service in China pointed out
today that gunboats Of considerable
size can ascend the river as far as
Shanghai and moor safely almost
alongside the famous bund or open
promenade that stretches along the
harbor's edge, abutting on which are
the foreign settlements. The gunboats
could thus sweep the entire city with
their guns or land numerous crews of
sailors and marines at moments
notice.
But tte foreign settlements contain
an important internal resource in the
shape of a well organized volunteer
guarG, about which little is known out
side of China. Nearly 40 years ago the
foreign residents, then very few in
number, compared with those now liv-
ing there, organized this force. The
best men in the community enrolled
themselves in their volunteer organiza-
tion, corresponding to American militia
companies and regiments. The British
were the most numerous with Ameri-
cans a close second and these two ma
tiOnalitieS have uniformly acted to-
gether in all matters of defence.
The British government has armed
this force. 1t is made up in large part
of young men of athletic training and
habit. used to cross country riding ana
field sports, making an ideal volunteer
organization. The companies. elect
their own officers but the entire force
is every year carefully inspected by a
British regular army officer of high
rank. AS part of this system of train
ing the guard has been divided into two
branches. corresponding to the regular
army, cavalry, infantry and artillery,
making altogether Gn organization
capable of withstanding a prolonged
siege and of effective police duty in
time OF riot.

very thick at the time and the steam
