fore, A 1 816 Sltt Later Particular of the Burning of the Steamer Shanghai. Dec. 28. Additional particu lars from China as to the destruction by fire of the steamer Shanghai near Woo Hoo in the Province of Ngan-Hoei, about fifty miles from Nanking, show the loss of life to have been much greater than was at first supposed. First reports represented that the crew, which consisted of several European officers and about sixty native deck hands, were supposed to have been either burned to death or drowned while endeavoring to escape the flames.

It now appears that over 200 human beings lost their lives and that they were all drowned. Panic seized upon the Chin ese passen gers and crew the moment the fire alarm was sounded, and became terrible as soon as it was seen that the fire was be yond control. The European officers seem to have their heads and exerted their ut. most to restrain the totally demoralized Mongols. Some of the boats were lowered but were at once overcrowded by the Chinese, and sank with all on board.

There is a faint hope that later invest! gation may show the catastrophe to be less serious than appears from the latest China advices. There are two steamers bearing the name of Shanghai now in Chinese waters. One is a steamer of 2,044 tons register, which left London, October 19, for Shanghai, the other steamer is of 2,217 tons registsr, and is described as being engaged in the local Chinese tea trade. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. Terrible Battle With Wind and Wave by Fishermen.

New York, Dec. 28. A crew of fisher men just arrived here report a thrilling experience. The crew consisted of sixteen men, and they consider themselves very fortunate in being alive and well after their terrible battle with wind and wave. They are from the schooner Grace C.

Young, Captain Kenny McPherson. She left Gloucester December 1, bound for the Banks. For three days they en countered lair weather. I lien came storms and winds and heavy seas that tossed the vessel about as if she was a feather. For more than a week the vessel stood it.

The seas increased in violence. Then she began to give way. The seams along the hull began to leak. The water en tered at first slowly, but soon in torrents. The crew manned the pumps, for time their efforts were of some avail, Soon, however, the water increased on them.

Then the foremast snapped off short during one hard spell just east of Sable Island. The members of the crew relieved one at the pumps, but they could do but little. The schooner settled slowly in the sea. Finally, when pretty much all hope was gone, the oil steamship El brux hove in siaht. That was after the crew had been hard at work for five days and nights to keep the vessel afloat.

Signals were run up, which were an swered by the steamship. The men put off in the dories and were saved. POLISH EMIGRATION TO BRAZIL. Exposure of a Secret Scheme to Stimulate It. Warsaw, Dec.

28. What is ostensibly the text of a secret decree of the Brazil ian Government for the encouragement of immigration is published by the "Courier." The deeree, which bears the signatures of President Fonseca and Senor Gliceria appears to have been issued June 29, 1890 It is made up of forty-nine articles, and promises to pay immigration agents 120 francs for every adult they send to Brazil and 60 francs for every child landed. In addition to this a premium of francs is offered to any company which shall place 10,000 in Brazil in one year. Substantial advantages are also offered such immigrants as shall, before sailing, sign a declaration as to the handicraft they intend practicing on their arrival in Brazil. The "Courier" complains that immigrants sailing from jRussian ports are never asked to sign any declaration and, therefore, when they arrive in Brazil, they find themselves in the position of outlaws, deprived of all right and driven into contracts which practically convert them into slaves.

The ''Courier" accuses the Brazilian Government of connivance in this fraud. Blew the Place Up With Dynamite. Washington, Dec. 28. James McBride has been arrested, charged with blowing up the Jenkins hotel and store at Plainville, with dynamite.

After a long absence he returned to Plainville on Thursday and learned that his was working at the Jenkins Hotel. He went to see her and was refused admittance, she running up-stairs. This is supposed to have angered him and led to the deed. He is a pretty tough character, about 40 years of age, and has figured in scrapes before. Two Cents Per Mile.

Chicago, Dec. 28. The Supreme Court of the State of Michigan has rendered a decision affirming the validity of the two cent per mile passenger rate law. The Michigan roads decided some time ago to ignore the law, being advised by counsel that it is unconstitutional. Belmont's Horse Sale.

London, Dec. 28. The "Times" pub lishes a three column article criticizing General Booth's scheme for the redemption of the masses. The paper says that General Booth cannot think that he is to be authorized to collect by force the moral lunatics and irredeemable slaves of vice, crime and drink; yet how can he otherwise bring them under his discipline? He cannot expect us to believe that he can compel men to work who will not work voluntarily. The whole plan is childish, so far as its details of graduated work are concerned; and the colonization feature is impracticable, or at least must be regarded with profound distrust.

The friends of General Booth claim that the resignation of Commissioner Smith, and the assertion that the general is not the author of "In Darkest England," are incidents in a plan formed and persistently followed by leading ecclesiastics of the Established Church to break down Booth's scheme for the relief of suffering mankind; that he has gained the enmity of the church by showing inadequacy of its relief methods and by offering a plan that might put the church to shame by proving really effective. As to authorship, the general avers that he is the author of every material idea in his book, and that the charge that he has done wrong in accepting credit for authorship is a last effort to break him down when all others have failed. THE COUNT OF PARISI'S DEATH. A Descendant of an Austrian Family. His Career In America.

New York, Dec. 28. Count Parisi, who died in San Diego, on Thursday, and whose wife subsequently attempted suicide, was a descendant of an Austrian noble family. His father at one time held a position of state in the Austrian Empire. He was compelled by old age to retire but he still stands at the head of one of the oldest banking houses of the Empire.

Count Parisi was of a wild disposition. A little over five years ago he came to this country. He was allowed a liberal amount of money by his parents. He went San Francisco where his half brother is now the Austrian Consul. He was married in Galveston, his wife being at one time a teacher in the University of Galveston.

The Count's father upon learning of his death ordered the body to be embalmed and sent to Austria. In case of his wife's death her body is also to be sent to Austria, and in case she survives she is to go to her father-in-law, there to take her rank and station with her husband's people.

28. Captain James Carroll 'of Sitka, Alaska, delegate from that territory to Congress, said yesterday that if Congress did not think Alaska ofjenough importance to give it all the facilities and rights it had granted every other outlying settlement of the Government, he was empowered to offer the sum of $14,000,000 for the territory, and would pay it over in $20 gold pieces at the shortest possible notice. This offer, he said, was bona fide. Buttner Goes to Jail. New York, Dec.

28. Lawyer William H. Buttner, the vendor of fraudulent Cook County, 111., divorces, was brought to Jefferson Market Court during the afternoon and charged with grand larceny in accepting money for the spurious divorce papers. He pleaded not guilty and demanded an examination. A time was set for the hearing and the bail fixed et $3,000.

In default of bail Buttnerwa committed to prison. Says He Was Robbed of 814,000. Pittsburo, Dec. 2J3. A despatch from Fortoria, says: Frank Myers, a farmer and agent for agricultural im-pliments, tells a thrilling story about three robbers relieving him of $14,000 near the scene of the Kuhns-Campeau murder.

The robbqrs impersonated officers and put Myers under arrest and handcuffed him. He was then robbed. Marshall Neff filed the handcuffs off. Is Podlewski Income? Rome, Dec. 28.

According to reports the assassin of the Russian police agent, General Seliverskoff, has been observed in the Victor Emanuel gallery inspecting the works of art there. The Italian police are making an active search for him, and are searching the residences of the Russian refugees, in one of which they believe Podlewski to be concealed. France and the Sultan.

28. The Boston "Daily Advertiser," which about a year ago reduced its price from four cents to three, announces that beginning Jan. 1 will be made a two cent paper. London, Dec. 28.

Both parties to the threatened libel suit, to be c-titled William O'Brien vs. the London "Times," seem very much in earnest. To the emphatic assertion of Mr. O'Brien that he did not contribute, while in America, to Patrick Ford's "Irish World," the "Times" retorts by declaring that it has in its possession a copy of "World" of November 15, containing an article over Mr. O'Brien's signature, mxl thrrrf-rrn refuses to makf the apology demanded.

How the Irish Fund Will be Used. Dublin, Dec. 28. The "Freeman's Journal" says to-day that communications have passed between Mr. William O'Brien and Mr.

Dec. 2 O'Donnell, of Raphoe, writes to the Irish Catholic ex pressing regret that the Irish people did not blame Mr. Parnell immediately for his moral fault, instead of so acting as to give him a handle wherewith to work the ruin of the party, and perhaps the country.

Balfour Wont Speak in Uliter. Dublin, Dec. 28. Mr. Chief Secretary Balfour has reconsidered his original determination, and now declines to speak in the Province of Ulster during January.

BLOCKED BV THE UNIONS. Scottish Railway Companies Can't Get New Men. London. Dec. 28.

The English trades unions have been officially informed that the Scottish strikers have means for theii present needs, and the principal aid de sired is in the way of preventing the Scotch companies from obtaining men to take the strikers' places. A party of men engaged by a free mbor office at Wigan was to have left for Scotland to day, but threats and persuasion at the last moment have prevented the men from starting. The Scottish companies have retained the free labor offices in the principal cities of Englaud to obtain men for the work that the strikers have abandoned, but so far, though many thousands are out of work, there is no eagerness to accept the com panies' offers, in Cardiff, the attempts at recruiting had to bo stopped, owing to the hostile attitude of the Welsh railway men and tho union seamen and firemen. The English railway men are generally of opinion that the Scottish railway fight is their own, and that English compan ies are watting to see the result. The strikers themselves admit to day that the railroads are slightly im proving the train service.

Trains are being gotten out with a little better regularity and punctuality than hereto fore, and the number moved has been in creased somewhat. This is, of course, all against the strikers, but they 'are still hopeful of success. The directors of the North British Railway have refused to permit the re turn to worK oi tne Motnerwell engine drivers in spite of the fact that these employes have offered to submit, and the further fact that their services would be of material assistance in breaking up continued resistance by the men. reign i trainc is still completely paralyzed and the number of mills and fac tories which are shutting down by reasor Of the strike increases daily. The President and the World's Fair.

Washington, Dec. 28. The Attorney. General, at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, has rendered an opinion In which he rules that under the provi sions of the World's Dair law, the President is authorized to design such "addi tional articles for exhibition," outside of any department as he may see fit and proper. This grant of authority, the Attorney-General decides, also carries with it the power to employ such persons as shall be necessary to properly preparf and care for the articles so designated.

The Pope to Honor Mme. Carnot. Paris, Dec. 28. It is reported in this city that the Pope intends to confer a special honor on Mme.

Carnot by sending her the Golden Rose, which he blessed at the last Mid-Lent Sunday. As this honor is usually bestowed upon a Roman Cath olic sovereign, the presentation Rose to the wife of the President European Republic will be a most signifi cant incident, as indicating a change io his political attitude, according to tbf view taken of it here. Bankers Resume Iluilnnai, Ebensbero, Dec. 28.

SOME ENCOURAGING RESULTS. Progress of the Experiments Now Under Way in the Mew York Hospital.

Reaction in the Popnlar Belief in the Efficacy of the Remedy as Unreasoning; as the First Unbounded Expectations Entertained The Lymph In Cancer Hospital Cases. New York, Dec. 28. The reactionary stage of the lymph discovery upon volatile imaginations has apparently arrived. From attaining the climax of hopeful belief in the extreme potency of the remedy, many persons are now plunged into the depths of despair because a thousand miraculous cures have not already been recorded.

The newspapers of a sensational character which at first boomed the lymph with the wildest imagination have collapsed into doubt, and by distorting non-committal statements of eminent physicians in regard to the progress of the experiments, are now throwing a popular shadow of discredit upon Dr. Koch. Still the lymph treatment progresses and the doctors of New York who took hold of It with the most hopeful anticipations will not say that they are in any respect.disappointed. They deplore the present tendency toward a feeling of despondency, euen as they regretted the extravagant enthusiasm expressed a few weeks ago. The editorial expressions of Dr.

Shrady in the "Medical Record" simply urging further patience In order to obtain a full report of the experiments, are regarded by some as disparaging, while the fact must bs considered that Dr. Shrady occupies a peculiar delicate position in writing for the eye of thousands of physicians all over the country. If he were to adopt the style of extreme laudation of the treatment and events should not demonstrate the utmost results hoped for, the effect would be disastrous for his paper. A despatch to the London "Standard," alleging that Prof. Billroth, of Vienna, was losing his enthusiasm in the matter was shown to Dr.

Heinetnann. The paragraph stated that Dr. Billroth was compelled to admit, after twenty days' observation of the effects of inoculation with the lymph, that the new specific cannot vie with the old remedy of iodine of potassium, and that it is doubtful whether it will ever supercede it in the treatment of external tuberculosis. Dr. Heinemann expressed the opinion that this referred only to external tuberculosis, and that the effort at condensation oi jsmrotn's remarKs naci probably misrepresented him.

The statement, Dr. Heinemann thought, was likely a mis represented or misapprehended reply to a reporter's question. But such newspaper reports were on par with those of New York papers which stated that a meeting of physicians was held at the Academy of Medicine the other evening at which it was decided to "go slow" in the treatment. No such meeting was attended by either Dr. Jacobi, Dr.

Heinemann, Dr. Kinnicuit or others of the leading physicians who have had the most experience here with the lymph. The doctors united to-day in pronounc ing the lymph cases under treatment as all doing well and in good general condition. The lupus cases take the lead towards a cure, but there is a case of a girl at the Mount Sinai Hospital with glandular tuberculosis of the neck, in which the results of the treatment please the doctors very much, the sores having already healed up well. The fact that all but nine of the twenty-eight cases at Mount Sinai were permitted to get up and move around ou Christmas day and that none of the nine were confined on account of the treatment but from nature of their disease, answers the charge of heavy doses and consequent bad effects.

Of course in cases of bone tuberculosis and phthisis the results are slow of observation, but it is agreed by the physicians that, in the words of one doctor in summing up, "the point has not yet been reached where advanced cases of the disease show no signs of reaction, nor benefit from the inoculation and the effioacy of the lymph has therefore not yet been disapproved. The inoculations of patients upon whom the treatment wts begun at the Home for the Ruptured and Crippled and ceased for lack of lymph, will not be re newed, as it appears, the experiments there were more for diagnostic purposes. At Mount Sinai no new patients ard Lo ng taken, and at the other hospitals whicn began the treatment earliest the same is largely true. The doctors are besieged with many application for private treatment and receive ceive many visits and letters daily, with offers even of indirect bribes, but adhere to their decisions to treat no cases out side the hospital unless the patient can afford the expense of a couple of doctors in the house with him to watch his con dition from hour to hour, and if the case is advanced at all in phthisis they will not take it for treatment under any circumstances. DELAYED BY SNOW.

Trains on New England Roads Two and Three Hours Late. Boston, Dec. 28-The mail train on the Boston Albany was two and a half hours late owing to the storm. Western trains were not heard from and their locations were unknown here for several hours.

Not Likely to Besult in Any Benefit tc Mr. Parnell- The Presence of Mrs.O'Shea In the Frenoh Capital at the Same Time Looked on af Bad for Parnell Plenty of Good Timber in the Irish Party from Which to Select New Leader. London, Dec. 28. That Mr.

Parnell proposes to continue his struggle to retain leadership of the Irish party is assured from his own lips, but what his plan of action will be is where the doubt lies. There is no denying the fact that the result of the North Kilkenny election has added greatly to his task, many of his supporters having lost heart in their work, so much so ia fact that they cannot disguise their feelings, and in a few istances their tongues. CHARLES STEWART PARNELLL. (From a recent photograph.) All manner of rumors have been current during the last few days regarding the coming meeting of Parnell and William O'Brien in Paris, but just what the outcome of that meeting will be is not easily surmised. A close friend of Mr.

O'Brien said to- i day that he did not think the interview would result in any good to the cause of Parnell. unless it convinced him that his best course would be to resign, before that privilege had been taken from him. 1 "A great mistake that Parnell has made in the Paris visit," continued the speaker, "is the simultanous visit of Mrs. O'Shea. Of course, he could have" prevented her from going there at that time.

What good her presence will do him, if such is the reason of her trip, fail to see. TIMOTHY HE ALT. "The papers have made damaging comment on this point, and it appears tc many Irishmen with whom I have talked that the farther the Irish people's minds are taken from the O'Shea family the better it will be for Parnell." Speaking on the subject of the chances of finding some one capable of filling Parnell's position to the satisfaction of the Irish people, he said there was no lack of good timber to select from. "There is John Dillon, a man whom the Irish people look up to as much as they have to Parnell. He is the ablest man in the party, and a man of a pure life and thoroughly a type of the higher phases of of the Iri6h character.

Mr. Dillon would have the advantage, should he suceeed Parnell, of being a Catholic. JUSTIN M'CARTnY. Justin McCarthy is an able Parliamentarian and is without dispute the ablest literary man in the party. He lacks, however, some of his friends claim, the pluck and go-ahead qualities the Irish people admire.

"Tim Healy is one of the shrewdest Irishmen of the present day, and his quick perception, it is said, has done Parnell service more than once. He naturally stands high with the people." What will be the outcome of the present trouble will be best told after the result is reached. Recommend Parnell's Retention. Paris, Dec. It is officially stated that the announcement made in newspapers of this city that the formal conference between the Irish leaders will take plaee Tuesday are premature.

Mr. William O'Brien complains of the number of false statements made in newspapers here and attributed to Mr. Gill and himself. Mr. O'Brien denounces as especially untrue the statement that he would, reewnmend that Mr.

Parnell be retained as leader of the Irish party. if fill THE GHOST DANCE ABANDONED Wax in the Spring Would be Madnear for the Eedskins. Ho Truth in the Report That the Troops Were Surrounded in the Cave Hills Stories About Ranchman Being Killed and Property Destroyed are Also Unfounded. Dickinson, N. Dec.

28. Lieut. Sydenham and Spence, the scout of Capt. Fountain's command of the Eighth cavalry, have arrived here with despatches They report that there was no foundation for the story that the command was hemmed in by 500 hostiles in the Cave Hills. Capt.

Fountain had not, up to Christmas morning, been able to discover any trace of Indians, but had learned that Sitting Bull's followers are on their way to the Pine Ridge and Cherry Creek reservations. Stories about ranchmen murdered and property destroyed by the hostiles are also stated to be unfounded. As far as the military authorities here are aware, not a shot has been exchanged between the Indians and troops. A general summary of this disposition of troops shows that the entire reservation is hemmed in by troops ready for the field, and fears of an outbreak in the spring are groundless. HOSTILES WILL RETURN.

The Result of the Vote of the Council In Bad Lands. Pink Ridge, Dec. 28. One battalion of the Seventh cavalry, with two Hotchkiss guns and a pack train, has left for Wounded Knee, about thirty miles away. The Indian Council in the Bad Lands decided in favor of the hostiles returning to the agency.

They are now all on their way in. Prrhaps fifteen or twenty may slip away, but the authorities feel that the Indian war has been ended. At least, they express great satisfaction at the news brought in by the couriers. There is still danger of serious trouble in case an attempt is made to disarm the hostiles. Unless this is done all the Indians will be at their agencies within two or three days.

Four battalions of the Seventh cavalry have started from here to assist Col. Henry in bis effort to capture the Indians who escaped from Col. Sumner. The Ghost Dance Abandoned. Guthrie, O.

Dec. 28. W. F. Thompson, the legal agent of the Iowas, who was invited to uttend the ghost dance nine miles east of Guthrie has returned, and reports that the dance has been abandoned.

There were assembled at the rendezvous representatives from the Iowas, Missouris, Kickapoos, Cheyennes, Arapahees and two or three Sioux runners from the northern country. The dance was begun in regular style, but had been in progress only a short time when To Hee, the blind Cheyenne chief, and Whitle Cloud arrived at the scene and urged the Indians to desist. They pleaded eloquently with the dancers. A conference was held, and it was finally determined to abandon the dance. All the Indians returned peacefully to their reservations.

Several Lodges Returning. Rapid City, S. Dec. 28. Seven lodges of hostiles are now on the way to the agency and a still larger number are expected to join them.

It is thought that Big Foot and his band of braves have started for the Cheyenne agency, as Colonel Henry's command have not succeeded in finding any trail entering the Bad Lands. MURDERED BY HER LOVER. An Attractive Hungarian Girl Literally Hacked to Pieces. Satville, L. Dec.

28. two miles north of here, is inhabited chiefly by ignorant Poles, Hungarians and Czechs. During the morning the body et Winnie Croupa, an attractive Hungarian girl, was found near the village, dismembered and almost hacked to pieces. The limbs had been cut off from the trunk. Frank Krulisch, a lover of Winnie, was arrested on suspicion.

He admitted being the murderer, but confessed nothing beyond that fact. Krulisch was fiercely jealous of the attentions paid to the girl by other men. The coroner has been notified. A crowd assembled on hearing of the deed, and could with difficulty be pre vented from lynching the murderer. Mayor Gleasou Agalu in Trouble.

1 Long Island Cm, 1L Dec. 28. Mayor Gleason appeared before Judge Garretson during the morning to answer to two indictments. One accusing the Mayor of complicity in pool selling on the ground that the Mayor owned the laud on which pool rooms were erected; the scond charging the Mayor with extorting money from liquor dealers in complicity with the Excise Commissioners. The Mayor promptly pleaded not guilty and gave bail in $1,500 on both indictments.

A day was set for the trial. The Creditors May Except the Offer. Boston, Dec. 28. At a meeting of the creditors of Winslow, Rand Watson, dealers in teas and coffees, Nos.
