THE BARQUE EL DORADO WRECKED OFF CAPE FLATTERY—THE CAPTAIN AND ELEVEN MEN GO TO THE BOTTOM.

A despatch from Port Townsend, Wash., says that the schooner Fannie Duttard has arrived there, having on board the two sur- viving seamen of the barque El Dorado, which foundered off Cape Flattery, April 1. These men were rescued, after drifting at the mercy of the sea for 16 hours, on a frail raft, without food or water. One of the saved, John Christianson, says: ‘‘At 8 o’clock Friday morning a heavy sea struck us on the windward, completely demolish- ing the house and carrying away every movable article on the deck, including sev- eral of the crew. Captain Humphrey was at that time on the after deck. The force of the sea threw him against the wheel- house, which was carried away, leaving him for only a moment on deck. Then a second sea carried him from our sight. After being struck the first time he appeared to be stunned. With one look of appeal to- ward us he disappeared in the waves. 1 was standing within a few feet of the cap- tain when the house was carried away. Reaching out wildly, I grasped the sky- light and almost cut my hand intwo. My agony was so great that I let go. The re- turning sea threw me near a portion of the house, which I succeded in reaching after some desperate swimming. I found an- other survivor on the same raft. We then picked up Mr. Erickson, the second officer, and one of the crew, from the ether gang- way. The barque then foundered, leaving nothing in sight but wreckage. Thre seamen were drawn into the eddy caused by the sinking vessel. This was at 8.45 o'clock. This was the last seen of the crew or offli- cers, excepting those on our own craft. The sea then moderated gradually, and at 2. p. m. one of the sailors died from what ap- peared to be internal injuries. He was thrown overboard. Soon after Mr. Erick- son was severely injured. The weather was unnsually cold for this time of year, which affected him considerably. About 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon he appeared to be getting delirious, and within one hour he died. Our raft was unsafe for three or four persons. It would continually break apart. We had a great deal of trouble to keep it together. I was crippled, and we were both nearly dead from cold. At 10 o'clock a sail from the southwest hove in sight. My oilskin jacket was tied to a board and raised as a signal. — We watched the vessel,

| which we could discern in the twilight to be

a three-masted schooner. Suddenly she steered for our location, just as we were

losing the last ray of hope. At 8.30 o'clock

the schooner manned a boat, and rescued us from the raft. We found the scaooner to be the Fannie Duttart, from San Fran- cisco, bound for the sound, The captain and all the crew did their best to alleviate 1 don’t know the names of any of the crew of the bark. The first officer's name was Wilson. The bark’s crew was composed as follows: Captain, first and

i{second officers, carpenter, cook and nine

seamen. All of them were shipped from San Francisco for the round trip.

Imperial Federation.

( Boston Herald.)

It is deserving of notice that the Imper- ial federation scheme receives much more support from the colonists of Great Britain than from the government of that country. Naturally, the English government would not care to divide the power that English- men now possess to dictate the policy of the empire with those who now have no voice in this matter, for whatever gain was made by the colonists would be so much substracted from the power that the people of the home country now have. But that the colonists ask for this increase in their importance is an indication of _ their dissatisfaction with their _— present condition, and before many = years the question may be _ forced upon England of either acceding to this consti- tutional change or submitting to the other alternative of seeing her colonies become independent states. So ‘ongas the colo- nists were content to let the English gov- ernment manage their national affairs as they saw fit, the existing arrangement was one which could not be wisely improved upon. But now that they are desirous of taking a share in the direction of affairs in which they may have a lively interest, the present arrangement is obviously unsatis- factory and ijlogical. An imperial federa- tion of widely separated communities, hav- ing such divergent interests, may bea difficult matter to adjust, but for the future of England, it would, perhaps, be better to run the risks of adjustment than to witness the establishment of an independent Can- adian or an independent Australasian re- public.

Police Reform.

Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker lectured on ‘* Police Reform” in New York last week. After a sarcastic criticism of the police sys- tem of that city, as at present administered, Mrs. Hooker suggested as a remedy the re- organization of the force with awoman as Superintendent, and the appointment of an equal number of men and women to the ranks. Every officer of this force should be a lady or gentleman in the best sense of the word— clean within and without—avoiding all vul- gar or profane language, and indulging in

neither liquor nor tobacco. The Superinten- |

dent, she suggested, should have power to order out the fire department, in case of riots, and turn the hose on recalcitrant mobs. Every member of the force should be trained in the use of firearms, and ordered to shvot in the leg when necessary to shoot at all. As to the ability of women to command such a sem -military force, Mrs. Hooker referred to Zenobia of Palmyra, Catherine of Russia, and Maria Terese of Austria, as women who suc- cessfully commanded troops in tne field. —_—— -

Sixty-three Robbers Arrested.

A DARING GANG OF RAILWAY THIEVES BROKEN UP—TRAIN HANDS THE CULPRITS.

The most important arrests ever made in Pennsylvania were begun at an early hour, Monday morning, near Pittsburg. The officers of the Pan Handle railroad have in custody the most daring gang of railroad robbers this country has ever known. How many members belong to it are not known, but they run up into the hundreds. Their stealings extended over a period of two or three years, and the amount stolen reaches nearly $500,000. Simultaneous arrests were made all along the line of the road between Pittsburg and Columbus. War- rants have been in the hands of the officers for some time, and the persons arrested will comprise nearly the entire freight men of the line. They include the conductors and brakemen. For three years past the Pan Handle road has been systematically robbed. Carson sidings and cars in moving trains were broken open and goods stolen, including every description of merchandise. It is estimated that at least $500,000 worth of goods were taken, for which the com- pany had to pay. In August last the coim- pany determined to push the clue they got tothe end. Itis the biggest thing of the kind that ever happened in Pittsburg, or in railroad matters in the world, for nothing like it has happened before. In September there were 80 crews of freight trains on the Pan Handle road coming into Pittsburg. Of these 80 crews no less than 75 were found to be crooked. A crew consists of a conductor, flagman and two brakemen. In some cases all the men were involved, in others only part. No engineers or firemen were mixed up ‘in the robberies. The goods were obtained by the thieves in various ways. Fences were established in Pittsburg where the stolen property was taken and then sold, the money being evenly divided among the crews. The arrests have created the greatest excitement among railroad employes. The scenes about the jail doors, where relatives of the prisoners had gather- ed to learn the cause of the arrests, were of the saddest description. Consternation prevails among the proprietors of the ‘fences’ and dens where the goods were secreted and sold. In one instance the proprietor of a den was detected in the act of burning stolen property. A _ telegram from Dennison, O., states that J. R. Dun- lap, the leader of the gang, was arrested there. ~~ Sixty-three arrests have been made. Nearly 200 warrants are still out, and it is expected that the list of arrests in Pittsburg will soon be swelled. Every man arrested had stolen goods somewhere. Among the prisoners are several desperate characters whe were wanted by the police for other offences. One Busby, the worst man in the gang, slipped his handcuffs and threw himself from the train, whilst it was going, and escaped.

A School of Literary Economy.

The foundation of a school of literary economy marks a distinct step in bibliogra- phical science. With the immense number of books now published in every tongue, the student or investigator needs some trained assistance to guide him through the mass of material which has gathered around the subject he has in hand. He wants tu |know not only what sources to apply to, | but also what is the quality of these sources, their character, purpose, and authority, and the course of lectures which will sup- plement the practical work of the school will be directed to this end. The lectures will impart a working knowledge of what reference books there are and how to use them; what are the best authors and the work wanted, and then, what is quite as important in many cases, what is the best edition to be consulted. Lastly, they will teach how to read, the most important art of all—-that is, how to get most easily and clearly at the heart of a book. All this the trained librarian will be able to effect, but we must beware of exaggerating the value of the aid he gives. His functions are use- ful but humble, and it is misleading to say, as we read in pamphlets before us, *‘With the reference librarians to counsel and guide readers; with the greatly improved catalogues and indexes, cross references, notes, and printed guides, it is quite pos- sible to make a great university of a great library without professors. Valuable as they are in giving a personal inspiration, they can do little in making a university without the library.” Far truer is the language of Baeon: “If you will have a tree bear more fruit than it used to do, it is not anythink you can do to the boughs, but it is the stirring of the earth and put ting new mould about the roots that must work it.””—American Bookseller.

Sam Jones on Beecher.

In the course of a recent discourse at Cin- cinnati, Sam Jones spoke as follows about Beecher: ‘‘Some ministers are so divine that we can almost see their wings budding. Preachers are just like other men, and, in truth, they are not much better. We must just rub against men we meet and let our hearts pulsate with theirs. Beecher’s strong- hold was that he seemed a brother to every man he met. You ask, do I endorse Beecher's theology? I ask, do | endorse yours? I'd as soon swallow Beecher’s, snout and tail, as yours. I don’t believe such another head and heart as Beecher’s have ever been combined since Paul's day. The farther I get from ‘these dogmatic doctors of divinity the closer \I get to God and humanity. In the pulpit ithe dogmatic doctor is Jeremiah Jones, D. 1).; on the street he is citizen Jones; in his family he is lord and ruler; in his study, all | stripped off, I should call him old humbug Jones.”
