little Portuguese barkentine, cold. damp
and i'll smelling. dropped anchor off Tompkins-
willie yesterday after a voyage of eishty-one
days from Santos, Brazil. Painted on her stern
in letters that had been partly obliterated by
high seas was her name, j. SOares Costa, and
that Of her haiIing port Oporto. She had hard
time O. it from Santos and her crew. which
consisted Of four men and five boys. the ages OF
the latter ranging from twelve to fourteen years,
had to subsist for days fish harpoOned from
the bowsprt, rats and rainwater caught in a
piece of sailclOth on the pOopdeck.
Francisco VaIverde Santa Anna, the mate. led
the way from an ice coated deck to chilly
cabin. and there in candle light showed the
course taken by the j. Soares Costa. She had
not seen the sun for forty days and the captain
beat along in a haphazard fashion until he
reached the Highlands. Frequently binding
snowstorms drove her far out of her course. and
it was by mere good luck that she was not sent
to the bottom. She shipped much water and
the pumps were working constantly throughout
the voyage. Captain Manuel Jesus Arojo took
TO his bunk Just off the cabin and would not get
up for all the 'periodicos'' in New York. a
erunt of approval or displeasure came from his
quarters occasionally as the Interpreters patched
up the yarn of the barkentine's adventures from

Officers of the Mutual Life expressed surprise
at the report from Washington yesterday that
the presidency OF that company had been offered
TO Leslie NJ. Shaw, who retires from the Secre-
taryshp of the Treasury February l. In
the company's offices the opinion was expressed
10 a Tribune reporter that Mr.. Peabody had re-
considered his decision not to seek reelection.
and would succeed himself chief executive
should the administration ticket be reelected,
as seemed probable
This opinion served to confirm The Tribune's
exclusive announcement of Mr.. Peabody's inten-

through the papers. President Peabody would
not discuss the report 1t is his present inten-
tion to take a trip to Europe soon after the

STEAMER BLOWS UP.
MANY KILLED And HURT.
Mississippi Boat ScoUeI Torn to
Pieces by Explosion.

Vicksburg, Miss, Dec. 19.-One OF the worst
accidents in the history of the Mississippi River
occurred at lilo o'clock this morning when
the steamer w. T. Scovel. plying in the Vicks-
burg and Davis Bend trade. was destroyed by
an explosion. Owing to the large number OF
Negroes on board. it is impossible to ascertain
the exact number of casualties, but officers OF
the boat who arrived here tonight place the
dead between ten and fifteen. The probabili-
ties are that like number were injured OF
a crew and passenger list OF perhaps ffty, about
half are missing.
The Negro dead were cared for at the place
where the accident occurred, as were some Of
the injured.
The accident occurred at Gold Dust Landing
about seventeen miles south of vicksburg. The
scovel was at the landing taking on freight.
when suddenly a terrific explosion occurred and
the boat was blown practically to pieces
Many of the timbers of the boat were thrown
hundreds of yards, and some Of those aboard
were blown almost as far. The pilot house and
front part of the cabin were blown TO splinters,
and some parts of the boat were so badly dam
aged that she began to sink Immediately.
OF the white dead only one body has been re-
covered. Captain Quackenboss was not seen
after the accident Pilot Dougherty was blown
several hundred feet out into the river, but. de-
spite a dislocated shoulder managed to swim
to the bank.
The story of the accident, as told by j. l.
Bruce the engineer of the boat. is as follows:
We were lying at Gold Dust Landing this
morning, taking the cargo. when noticed
small quantity of water coming through the
boiler. l suspected that something was wrong
and proceeded to make examination. About
this time the ScOvil broke her headlines and
drifted. that | did not have time to make
thorough examination. AS soon as 1 got her
back to the bank I CTawled on top of the boiler
and proceeded with the investigation. had
just got down from the boiler when the ex-
plOsion occurred.
II is said the accident was caused by de-
fective boiler plate.
Mr. Bruce not injured. When the Cordill.
carrying survivors. arrived at this city at 9
o'clock tonight crowd of people met her at
the pier. anxious to hear of relatives and
friends.
The injured were taken to the Vicksburg hos
pitfalls.
The captain one of the oldest and best
known residents of this city, and we'll
known to every on the river. The steamer
Scovil was only recently purchased by him and
others for the VicksbuTg and Davis Bend trade.

The Education bill thus killed
There is indication yet what course the
resentment among the ministerial members of
Parliament that ten months of legislative work
nave gone for nothing. The feeling is strongest
against Mr.. Balfour, the leader of the opposition
IN Ihe House of Commons, he is held TO be
personally responsible for the failure to arrange
compromise The Duke of Devonshire I'm the
course Of the final debate entered a strong pro-
test against what he termed Lord Iansdownes

piate an Immediate appeal to the country, though
thls was Mr.. Gladstone's desire when he faced a
similar situation I'm 1894 and he was over
Dorne by the Cabinet. The general idea is that
'he ministers viii introduce at the next session
OF Parliament more drastic education bill ap-
piNlhg the So'VO0NH. which under the dead bill
would have gone to assist denominational
SCHOOLS to building entire new council schools
and tending to produce a practically secular
system OF public education. This being money
bill, the House of Lords would have no power
10 throw it out.
Most of the members of the Non-Conformist
party are pleased at the failure of a compromise
in the negotiations, though they regret the loss
of the bill but their view is that the government
was making too many concessions to the House
of Lords
The Rev. Robert Fornan Horton speaking al
East Dereham tonight, said that the lords and
bishops had opened a plain and almost inevita-
hle way 10 secular education. This would re-
suit in enormous activity by the Roman Catho-
lie Church in opening schools in England He
