VIGITNS OF WIND AND WAVE, Fierco Gales and Fiercer Seas Lay Waste the Eaglish Ooast, y s GALLANT WORK OF LIFE-SAVING CREWS, Btories of Wrecks and Loss of Life Al Parts of i Bacrifices to Duty— and Jetsam, frol gland—Noble Loxpox, Nov. 11.—Another farious south- pasterly gale is swoeping over the British consts and is causing an immense amount of damage. From a number of points news has been telegraphod that ships ars ashore and that their crows are in danger of drowning or alroady drowned, To give an entire list of the wrecks reported would be a dificult and lengthy task. A dispatch this morning from Hythe, Kent, says that tho Frouch schooner Edinmi H foundered off that place and that tho vesscl's captain, his wife and son wero drowned in spito of the efforts of tho life-savers, who were enabled to take off the rest of tho crew. Tho cantain of the Edirimi, however, refused to leave the vessel, and his wife and son refusod to be parted from him, preferring death with the gallanteailor to being saved without him, At the Mercy of the Waves. A telegram received from Sangate, not far from Hythe, says that the British ship Ben- venue of Glasgow has been driven ashoro there after a terrible struggle with thostorm. The crew of the Sandgate lifebout station made every effart possible to lavnch their boat, but without success. Tho lifoboat was rolled over and over in the pounding sorf and finally the life-savers gave up tho attompt to get her afloat. The lifevoat crew made another strenuous but fruitless attemnt to reach the Benvenue. Somo of the crew, exhausted by their long ©xposure to the warring clements, bacame so woakened that they found it impossiblo to langer cling to the rigging and so wero forced to lev go. They dropped mto tho yeasty waters and sank from sight. The others, some of whom are undoubtedly lashed fust, are stiil in the rigging. A crowd npumbering thousards of peoplo is gathored aloag the shore interostedly and sympathotically watching every attompt what is made to save the lives of the ship- wreckod sailors, whose only hope of rescue lies in the efforts of the gallant lifeboat mea. The storm has caused considerablo damage throughout the southern counties of England and Ireland. Rain has fallen in large quan- tities. Further Detai's of the Storm. Further details of tho groat storm which is sweeping over Bigland are coming to hand and there is no doubt that tho loss of hife avising from marine and other disasters will equal, if not exceod, that which occurred during the last groat gale that visited the British isles. The dispatches now being received mve the following list of casualties at the various oints along the const: The Norwegian brig Solertia has been wrecked at Studland, in Dorset. The fishing boat, Star of the East, while entering Lowestof, dashed against the pier and was wrecked, Six of her crew were drowned. Ouo man was rescaed, but he died from exhaustion shortly afterward. The schooner Marguerite Marie, bound for London, was caught in the hurricane off Dungeness and was blown ashore and wrecked, It is belioved that when the storm has spent its force and a final estimate of the damagoe is made it will be found that the loss is much groator than that incurved by any storm that has provailed for yeurs. The reports from the galo-swept districts are very slow in coming in owing to the almost complete paralysis of the telegraph wires, but the reports thus far received show that the damage must bo widespead and very heavy. The damage to property at Folke- stone and Deal is very great. The damage to fishing boats and other small craft em- {:lo,\'c:l in the local coastwise trado is large, ut no estimate of the amount of 1oss_can as yet bo made. The farmers in the Midland counties are growing discouraged at the nis. fortunes that ave pursuing them. The rivers in the Midland counties are rapidly rising and It is feared thau this will be a general repetition of the floods of a few week's ago. Glorious, Gallant Heroos. At Dover the local lifo boat, manued and provisioned, is hold in readineis to procend to any quarter within tho Dovor district to aid vessels that aro in distress. A tug, with stoam up, is lying beside her to take her in tow. AY prosent the sea is running tre- monduously and it is unsafo for the tug or lifaboat to venturo outof tho harbor. Part of the crow of the lifo-saning crow at Hythe, whilo engaged ia rescuing a ship- wrocked crew, were swept from toeir boat and drowned. From Dungeness comes a story of tho loss of some of the brave and hardy Vifeboat men. A foreign bark went ashoro at that place and the lifeboat men started gallantly to the rescuo of her ondangered crew. A tremon duous “vavy sea was running and tho hfe- boa \ed to. Once in the trough of tho son Jpsized and all hands went over Dboat. e of the crew wero swept away bero, v coula grasp the lifo lines on the sidlo. e boat, and though they wore cork jacko (hev wore lost. The other m ceedea n righting their boat and scrambled into ner, At Deal a fishing boat was capsized and two of her crew were drowned. Several vessels are ashore betweon Dun gensas and Dover, and it is fourad they wil- 0 to pieces and their crows will perish be- ore assistance can get to them, A number of vessels in distress have been driven past Sandgate. ‘They were all flyg pigoals calling for help, but it was impossible to do apything to relieve them on nccount of the {remenduously hoavy seas. According to the latest reports the gale 1s oral throughout Bugland o Bark Amor is stranded near St. Loon ards The orew climbed into tho rigging whera they lashed themsely fast. Though » life saving crow made every effort possiblo 10 got to the wreck, it was uiterly 1mpossivle 1o zol the lifeboat beyoud the line of surf hut cume booming on the shore.

Rescued at Last. Nothing daunted by thelr many we: Bnd truitless attompts to get 1o awa rescue tho surviving membors of tho crew in the rigging of tho ship Benvenue, the fo-savers detormined to makea tast groat effort o reach theimperitlod men, bu t they were again forced to retreat before the angry sea and leave the fast weakeuing sailors to their fate, Thon the life savers at Seabrook resolved to agam risk thelr lives and make unother at- tempt to get out to where the Benvenue was belug beaten to piecos. ‘Their boat was sbeaton ano tossed about on the heavy surf Bnd every moment was in imminent danger of being overturned, 'ho rescuers at length succeeded in getting freo of tho breakers and beyond the outer ©dgo of thesurf, The most dangerous part of their journey had now been pussod, and amid the inspiving cheers and shouts of the auxious watchers on the shore the lifo savers started in_the direction of the wrecked vessel. By careful sud ncver coasing work with the oars and tiller the men eventually reached the side of the Beuenvue and after considoraole manoe- yering succeoded in passing & line from their boat to the ship. The work of landing the ng men from the rigging was at once begun and | twenty-seven of the officers and crew were | safely taansferred from the ship to the life boat. When this task had been accomplished the lifeboat was then headed - for shore and the life savers again struggled at their oars. They were unable to reach the place they ¥ being buffeted about by wind and wave brought up at Folkestone, where the rescucd and the rescuers disem: barked and received the congratulations of the people gathered there, the former in their escape from a watery grave and the lat- ter for their eminent horoism. The survivors of tho wreck were tenderly cared for by the people of the place and when the story of their terrible expericnce was told it was learned that the captain and four of the crew had gone by the board and were arowned boforo tne lifo savers could reach the stranded vessel, Broken and Battered Wrecks. A dispatch from Lowestof announces that aScoteh lugger was capsized off that port today and that six of her crew were drowned. A 1,000-ton_ship, the Pflunger, has goue ashore at Hastings. After an unsuc- cessful attempt had been made by tho local lifcboat to rescue the crow and passengers, the lite-savers resorted 1o rockets in an endeavor to get a life line to the ship, After firing eleven rockots, all of which failed to reach the ship, the twelfth attempt was successful and the passengers and crew wero saved. At cvery port on tho cast and south coasts of Kngland great anxiety prevails as to the fate of the fishing boats. Hundreds of these voats, induced by fine weather, put to sea yesterday. The latest accounts of the ravages of the storm tell of the wreck of two schooners near Brighton und tho drowning of four of their creyws. Tonight the weather is clear and calm and the gale has apparently subsided. The tele- graph lines whuich were brostrated by the storm, aro not yet restored, and the dis- patchies ave mostly received by tho wires from the mid-southern portion of England. “These dispatches record a tale of disastor at quite dwarfs that of the distruction wrought by the October gale. Notwithstanding the heroism of the life boat men and guards the number of fatahties has already reached an appalling figure, IProm many points -vhere the storm raged most fiercely no tidings have yet been ro- ceived. The service across tho channel is most entirely suspended. “The Ostend boat started with the mail, but tho captain positively declined to take 'pas- sengers on boerd. Two men belonging tothe crew of the Dymchurci lifeboat were drowned. ‘Among the chaunel islands the gale was felt with the uvmost severity. Many per- sous wore seriously injured on the island of Jorsey by falling “debris and scveral boats were sunk in the harbor, At Bristol the roof of the handsomo Cath- olic cathadral was blown off and one man silled. Another schooner was wrecked at Hast- ings at 10 o'clock tonight. The crew was aved with difliculty. "Three men belonging to the crew of a pilot cutter wero drowned at Cardiff while at- tempting to rescue a fisherman who was clinging to an overturncd boat.

WORK OF BIASED CORRESPONDENTS. Willful Perversion of Facts and Ma- licious Coloring of Reports—Un- pleasant Predicament of a Boid Britisher. | Copuright, 1801, by James Gordon Bennett.] VALPARAISO, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.), Nov. 11.—By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tue Bee.)—There is considerable coolness at present between the Chilian authorities and the British min- ister, Mr. Kennedy. Tt dates from Sunday, November 1, All Saints' day, which was made the occasion of a grand demonstration 1 honor of those who lost their lives while in the service of the junta previous to tho downfall of Balamaceda. A great throng visited the cemetery at Santiago to heap floral tributes on the graves of the dead heroes, Among the visitors was Minister Kennedy who also was intent on decorating some graves. His coach became blocked at the eutrance to the cemetery, preventing tho passage of many other carriages behind him. In consequence there was a great deal of confusion. The coachman, swellod up with priae from the fact that he was driving the British diplomatist, rofused to move when called upon to do so by the populace which was much annoyed at the blockade. In con- sequence of the conchman’s stubbornness a row ensued, during which he found it advis- able to leave his seatand scok safoty in flight. Minister Kennedy's coach was somewhat damaged by coiliding with other vehicles whose occupauts insisted upon gotting the right of way, This unpleasant mcidont of the day's cele- bration put Mr. Kennedy into an indignant frame of mind, and over sinco ho has evi- deuced a spirit of unfriendlinoss towards the authorities. Every one in Santiago is laughing over the idea that such a trifie should bo regarded by Minister Kennedy as an insult to British dignity. Nevertheless ho scems determined t0 so look upon it. Some Able Podied Liars. The correspondents of certain European newspapers seem bent upon doing all in their power to create misunderstandings between Chili and the United States, and even boast that such a motive inspires their articles. They make no secret of their aesire to incul- pate Minister Egan in every innuendo that is started against the United States, aud say that they will publish everything which in their opinion will give the world tho impres- sion that the American representatives un- duly supported Balmaceda. Copies of the Herald containing the story of Mr. William R. Grace's connection with the shipment of arms to Balmaceda have just been received hero, and have created quite a ripple of excitement in Chili, as Mr. Eyre, the representative of Grace & Co.’s firm here, is & staunch Britisher and has figured throughout the late war as a firm friend of the junta, He has also made himself very promiuent on account of his disparaging re- marks against the American poople. Dr. Olaf Paz, the brother of Charles Paz, a lawyer at San Francisco, and who gave up bis practice to join the congressionalists as surgeon general in the army, has been re- quested by President-elect Jorge Moutt to visit Burope for a year's medicnl research, in appreciation of his services to thoe junta, Schie Willing to Acquiesce, Captain Schiey has wired tho Nuvy de- partment of the United States relative to the concession of Judgo of Crimes Foster to cortain of Schley’s demands. Judgo Foster, inaletter to Captain Schley a day or two ago, gave his consent to the appearance of an oficer of the Baltimore and an interoretor at the secret inquiry, while the American sailors were testifying to the assault upon them. Judge Foster explained fully in the letter the facts relative to the Chilian legal proceedure in such cas These data show that the Chilian sceret inquiry bears a resewblance to our grand jury system. Captain Schley, in his commu- nication to the Navy department, recom- mends that it agree to the proposals of Judge Foster. One of the Valparaiso papers this ovening publishes a lettor trom Senator Trumbull to Mr. Eyre in regard to the charges in the Hor- ald againet Grace & Co.'s firm. Seuator Trumbull states that in his opinion the charge that the firm acted in the interests of Balma- coda are urfounded. Messase to the Congress. President-elecc Jorge Montt, Waldo Silya and Ramon Barros Luco, the junta trium- virate, lssued a messago today to the new cougress, which will begin its sossion on November 15, After reviowing the causes which led to the recent war and ro- citing the Incidents bearing upon the same subject, the address concludes with the announcement that tho junta hus now mccomplished its mission, but as a last aot of justice desires to bring to thoattention of congross tho gallant services renderod by the congressional army aud navy to their country. It hopes that con- gress, in its wisdom, will duly recognize these services aud reward both forces, Congress met yesterday and elected Waldo Silva president of tne senate. Rumon Barros Luco at the same time was clected president of the nouse of deputies. Tho junta was re- quested by congress to continue in office until Admiral Moutt bas been installed in ofice as president. BRAZILIAN MATTERS MIXED, seoa’s Side of the Told from Itio. [Copuright 1891 by Jam-s Gordon Bennett.) Rio JaNERto, (via Galveston, Tox.) Nov. 11 —[By Mexican Cable to the Herald—Spocial to Tur Bek.|—Up to the prosont wiring thero has boen nothing, so far as can be learned hove, to seriously threaten the sta- bility of Deodoro da Fonseca's dictactorship. If there is any revolt in Pornambuco, Babia or Para, rehable information of it has not reached this city, ore are aoubtless, so I am given to understand, disattected republicans and a number of im- perlalists, who would like to see a monarchy re-established, but they have, so fur as kuown here, only pronounced agaiust the govornment. Tho only signs of discontent that the peo- ple of Rio are aware of are iu Rio Grando do Sul, the most southerly of the stutes in the republic, Sucn disturbances bave broken out there from such intelligence as bave, 10 have been altogether of a local character.

So slight 1s the uprising ofi- cinlly regarded that the governoc of the state is considered to be fully capable of dealing with it.

It 1s belisved that if the outbreak was $o0 serious as as to im- peril bis power the wovernor would cer tainly before this have asked such aid, Itlo is quiet. Business is conducted as be- fore the dissolution of congross, Fonseca still maintains that he has no intention of continuing the dictatorship bavond such timo as is nocessary to re-estavlish porfect peace all over Brazil. Preparations ave going on for the eloction of the new represeuta tives to congress. Trouble in Rio Grande do Sul. [Copyrighted 1591 by James Gordon Bennett.] Varraraiso, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.), Nov. 11.—| By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tne Bee.]—It is reported hero tonight that a numbor of mem- bers of the Brazilian congredss, which Diota- tator da Fonseca recently dissolved, have sought an asylum in the different legations in Rio Janeiro. Uruguay has bacome alarmed at the state of affairs in Brazil, and has massed troops along the frontier line of that country. I am just in receipt of & dispatch from Buenos Ayres, which states that on the night of November 9 a revolt was begun in the state of Rio Grande dv Sul, and that it spread rapidly. At last accounts the greater part of the state was occupiod by the rebels, Generals Fernandez and Santa Aona are said to be at the head of tne revolutionists, and their ranks aro reported to be receiving constant accessions, The garrison at Yuearon, it 18 said, has joined the insurgents, and the artillery hos been placed atthe disposal of the two generals who are in command. Government Troops Sent O The dictator’s governor in Rio Grando do Sul, Castilha, deemed the revolt so serious that ho asked the central government for reiuforcements, roprosenting his position as precarious. In complisnce with his request, Dictator da Fonseca at once sent four gun- boats, three monitors antl two trausports, londed with troops, to the scene of the up- rising. Tho troops will be landed at the vorts of Rio Grande do Sul, Pelodas ana San Joso de Norte, at the mouth of the bay of Patos. Following upon the anhouncement of the garmson at Yugaron gong over to the insurgents, comes worda that two other arrisons hava also jolned the rebel forces in Rio Grande do Sul, Whileall this is takinye place the residents of Rio Janeiro scem to be kept in perfect ignorance of these stirring events. They believe that everytning is veacelul in tho republic and that tho discon- tent against Fonseca is not worth noticing. Their 1grorance is owing ta the fact that the governmont is suppressing all telegrams that describe the true situation. of affairs in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Forming n New Party. The chiafs of the rovolution are said to be Visconde Pelotas, Baron Jijuk and Gen- erals Astropillo and Travares. Their object seems to be to form a natiocal party in oppo- sition to the dictator. This party is to oe made up of both liberals ud conservatives. There are now two political parties 1u Brazil, one favoring Dictator da Fonseca and the other is opposed to his governmeat. It is believea that da Fonseca's troops will act on the defensive, The probabilities are the authorities will meet with a very iively time in Rio Grande doSul. The persons hitherto holding offics but now opposed to Da Fonseca are in de: titute circumstances. The dictator's decree in which ne anzulied the privileges of con- gress also did away with other concessions which wero granted wheu the republican form of government was established. The bank eoxchange at last accounts closed at 13! To show how blind the residents of Rio Janeiro are to the real condition of affairs in Rio Grande do Sul. I received this morning advices from Brazil's capital stating that there was no indication of aiy serious spirit of revolt against Fonseca in:the district or in any of tho states. Business there, it was sald, was resuming its normal condition and quietude prevailed. The Brazilian minister to Cuili, Senore Carvaleant!, has tendered his resignation as the reprasentative of Fon- scca ot Santiago. Under date of November 4 ho received a notification that tho dictator- ship had been establishea and reasons were given for the same. Salvadorean Notes.

Imperial Russian Snub Repaid in Kind by Royal Germany-—Latest Aspect of the International Game of Bluff. [Copyrigh’ 1891 by James Gordon Benne't.] Pamis, Nov. 1lL—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Brr.|—The Horald was the first to receive the news of the im portant bearing upon the political situation that the czar's visit to Berlin had when, the other day, ho passed through the kaiser- stadt and declined to converse with or even to meet the German emperor. A sequel to this snub has now occurred, and is of such a nature as to cause no littls uncasiness. The day before yesterday mass was cele- brated at the Russian embassy in Berlin in honor of the czar's silver wedding. Every foreign sovereign and state was represented with the sole exception of Emperor William, who sent no one, not even an aide-de-camp, to be present at’ the fote. This is a direct reply to the czar's recext rofusal to talk with him, Heaps o' Trouble Here. It was at first considered to be so serious a personal affront that it was at once discrad- ited; but now it proves to be absolutely true, and all hopes of a personal reconciliation be- tiveen tho two sovereigus are now abandoned. It would, however, be an error to rush to the other extreme and sup- poso from this that tho ‘“entente” botween Russia and Franco is complote, ‘Lhere has, in fact, been a slight hitch in the relations betweon these two countries. Rus- sian diplomacy, accustomed to implicit, pas sive obedience, faus to understand why the French government doos not check the fall on the bourse of tho value of Russian securi- ties in Paris. The government has cortainly done all in 1ts power to do this, but it has, of course been unmabie to interfero with selling orders coming from London to banking houses like that of the Bischoff- hoims or of Baron Hirsch. Thoso, in fact, are the names cited. It is, perhaps, an exag- geration to say that, owing to this, there is a refroidissement between France and Rus: but as we say in Paris, “I1 y’a un cheveu.” Hopes for Peace Ended. The Herald was the first paper in tho world to announce the efforts racently mado to secure a pormanent general poaco. This was at first denied and is now confirmoed by the emperor of Austria himself, who in his speech to the delegations said that his hopes of announcing to his people a permanent peace and informing them that anxiety for the futurs was ended have unow vanished. The émperor referred to the negotiations for founding a league of peaco, I am also in a position to state that Austria is making ready to slip away from tho triplo alliance. Russia is, however, taking steps to draw Austria more closely than ever before to herself. Before long the pivot of Euro- pean policy will change. Home politics in France are also agitated and a ministerial crisis is feared, STARVING 1L RUSS1A, Danger Apprehended from the Insub- ordination of the Suffering People. St. Pererssure, Nov. 11.—The spirit of insubordination among the people in the dis tressed districts is becoming so intense that it is feared serious trouble will result, culmnating in an open revolt of the peusantry carly in the winter. The relations existing between landlords and peasants aro so s trainedthat an outbrenk is imminent. Ton- auts defy the landlords to eviet even under an order of law uud menace the land owner: with threats to burn their granavios. Resi- dents throughout Lithania aud Poland and th local courts, composed of magistrates drawn from tradesmen and smailer farmers, side with the tenants. Tho leading govern: ment ofticials are aware of the perils of the situation and propose to send imporial com- missioners to the aisturbed places, vested with supreme power and to supersede, if necessary, governors and other officials un- able to cope with abuses. The corruntion prevailing among people aggravatos the dis- content of the people. AKING THE WORST VIEW OF IT. Dispatches from Brazil via London Explain the Situation.

FROM AN ENGLISH POINT OF VIE What the Chilian Correspondent of the London Times Has to Sa Loxnoy, Nov, 11.—The Santiago corve- spondent of the Timos telegraphs a long diatribe against false Chilian news sent by correspondents or inventod in Amoari ca, Takiug his text from the roport of the blow- ing up of the United States Balti- mose, he says: Since the arrival of American newspapers here we have had in addition to tho scandal created by rowdy diplo nacy, an uunsee squabble among American eorrespondents respecting the authorstip of falso telegratms puolished in america, These quarrels tend @ place Americans 1 an unenviablo lizht “IL I8 wecessary alo W call utteution cruisor Amort allogod [to the preat disrogat ¥ tho can officials here of { drders to nave been sont from . wsuington, Theso ordors give the text of ostensiblo Instruc | tions previously sent to maintain the strict | est neutrality during the Chilian olvil war. Owing eithor to their knowledge of secrot in- tontions of the Washington cabinet of to other motives, Minister Egan, Commandor Schley and tho Amorican consul continue to show tho bitterost animosity againat tho congressionalist government publioly. It is notorious that Minister Kgan attitude and acts continue to bo such as may provoko a rupture of tho friendly relations botween the two countries. Viowad in connoction with lator ovents, Commander Schley's lanaing sailors on October 16 ceases to bear tho as- pect of thoughtless imprudence. ‘The propa- ration of the Baltimore for action at mid night in & friendly port was an insult to the dignity and good faith of Chili and more so still are the deciarations Commandor Schloy has just made in several quarters that war betwoon the United States and Cuill 15 inevitable, Tho American consulat Val- paraisos spreading_ similar reports and he adds that a strong United States squadrou is coming here. The consequence of this ot cial filibus ering 1s that tho warships of other uations which wero about to leave Chili have been ordorad to remain, Thoso deliborate provoeations will not make the Chilian government abandon its secret judi- cial attitude. “There is, T ropeat, absolutely no hostile foeliug in CRili against tho United States, but such a feeling may bo brought about un- less more prudence bo displayod.

This is a diplomatic blunder, Admiral Montt being only a candidate for tho prosi- dency. It is unfair, howover, to attribute this pardonablo mistake to Minister Egan's dosiro to further futerfero with the aflairs of Chili.” SURRENDERED 175 AUTHORITY.

In this it set forth the principles which had coutrolled it in covorning the country in the absenco of regularly constituted authoritis; explained the present situation of affairs, and said that inasmuch as cougress was now prepared to assume tho responsibility the Junta would resign to that body the functions which it had been exercising, The chief recommendation made by the junta in surrendering its power was an urgont plea that congross should at once in- stitute weasures looking toa thorough re organization of tho army and navy. The senate organized by electing Seuor Waldo Silva as its president. The chambor of doputies olected as its presiding ofticer Senor Barros Luco. Senors Silva and Luco, together with Ad- miral Jorze Montt, the nowly elected presi dent of the republic, were the nien vno con stituted the famous junta of the congression- alists, Adumiral Montt, who was nominated a few days ago by the liberals, the dominant party in Chill, as 1ts candidate for tho presidoncy, and whose nomination is equivalent to elec: tion, has been empowered to assume all dutics of tho executive republic until the meeting of tho clectoral college, which will take olaca shortly, when Admiral Montt will be formally elected president.

The contents of tho cash drawer, 2 belonging toJ. C. Marshall, the Chicago & Alton agent, and a watenh, the property of John A. Campbhell, a farmer, was all they got for their trouble. The robbers acted according to a pre-arranged program evidently, for thoy waited till Marshall was called into the baggage room, then covering the lower part of their faces with hand: kerchiofs they drew their rovolvers and ordered Campbell, who was in tho sta tion, to throw up his. hands, Afier relieving him_ of his watch and a littlo money he had, they crawled through a mall window into the oftice. When Mar- shall returned they compelled him to deliver the koys of the cash drawes, the contents of which they secured, also the contents of Mar- shall’s pockets. They examined the express books for a package they asserted should bo in the oflice and which was supnosed to con- tain a laree sum of money. Itwas not there, Then they were disappoiuted.

Over 2,000 anarchists, or anarchist sym- pathizers, had crowded into the West T'welfth street turner hall to commemorate the day Novembor 11, 1887, on which their follow an« archists were hung. It was tho most deci- sive demonstration of the kind in this city since tho eventful evening of May 4, when sovoral police went down in blood. The specchios were extromo, and red emblems covored everythin g. The climax came during the incendiary utterances of Heury Weissman, oditor of tha New York Baker, a German trados paper. Inspector of Polico Hubbard, accompanied by Licutenant Givbons and a squad of ofs ficors in citizons clothes, wore seen to quiotly approach tho stage. They ordered an Amor- ican flag placed among the flaming banners, Tnstantly there was a profound sonsation in the motley audience and the police wera hissed from all parts of the nall. Mes. Lucy Parsons, who occupied a chair in the rear part of the hall, shouted out: “ilung the murderers of my husband " In asecond pandemonium reigned, hun- dreds of excited men pushing forward curs. ing the ofticers, and seomingly only wanting anod orlook from the leadar to procipitate a fearful spectaclo of carnage. Novertheloss Inspector Hubbard unflinchingly ordered a suspension of the meeting until his com- mands were obeyed. Through the din the half nundred police could be seen placing tueir hands on their clubs and revolvers preparatory for a fight, which scemed mevitable. It was fully ten order was restored. The flag meanwhila had been reluctuntly hoisted to A place over tho stago, a proceeding only ac- complished when the officers were found to be ready for action and cooler heads among the excited audience and spectators bad time to exercisa somo influence. The meeting had been taken completely by surprise or elso a move serious result might have followed. ‘The leaders of the meeung say tho meoting was only to show recard and reverenco for the men who perished while laboring for the benefit of humanity, The stage was fairly buried in red bunting, banuers and trimmings. In the frout of the structure, on eithor side, stood out in bold contrast to (he surroundings, bronze busts of Spies and Parsons. These were cheered wildly by the spectators, To the left of tho stage was nailea & banner with the inseription: ‘“Tbere will come a time when our silenco will be more powerful than our voices.” Spies words on the scaffold. Against the stage walls were p'otures of the five dead anorchists, while directly above them was the motto: *Murdered, but not aead.” Two bauners bore tho German inscriptions, “Equal Rights for All” and “Liberty and Freedom.” Editor Weissman then appeared. He is a middle sized man with light bair and mustache and partly bald. His appearance wus greeted with enthusiastic snouts. He commenced with the troubles of organized labor and to the opposition which 1t met. After a flaming introduction he launched forth into the Haymarket riot. As the speakor was descrying the courts as prosti- tuted, he snid it was the poverty stricken condition of the masses that actunted Spies and Parsons to thelr acts of despera- tion when the police made their eatrance, and the consequent uproar ensued. When the police orders had been finally obeyed another meeting was announced for tomor- row uight at the old-time anarchist rem~ dezvous, Grieff hall, on Lake street. minutes vefora OPIUM SMUGGLERS. Discovery of an Ingenious Plot to Avoid Piying the Duty, New Yous, Nov. 11.—The sudden discov- ery of a wholesalo systom of oplum smug- gling across the Canadian border has consid- cravly startled the custom house ofiiciais, In the custom house thero is now lying the largest quantity of opium ever seized and there 15 still more to follow. Ths wholo story will bo make public tomorrow. It is believed that the opium traf- fie has been started by somo of the opium wers of Tadia. Ino indian mercnants nave first sont that drug to Can- ada, and it has then been smuggled across the'border into the United States. ln addi- tion 1o having agents in Canada about threo or four months ago, two or three well edu- cated natives from Bombay arrnived in this country by way of Europe. Thoey ostensibly came on some other business, but the real ob- ject of their business 1 believed 1o have been the completion of an elavorate arrange- ment for increasing the opium traMc in this country. As the first attempt at smugeling proved to be so successful, it was detormine toopevate on a larger scale. The ramifications of the scheme are intricate and ingenuous, out with the information alrcady in the hands of the treasury officials, au effectual stop will ba put to opiam smuggling. - CANADIAN POLITICN, onstruction ol the Cabinet-Its New Memb ra MoxtrEAL, P.
