London, Dec 27. Additional par
ticulars from. China as to tbo destruc
tion by fire of the steamer Shanghai,
near Woo Hoo, in the province of Na
fjan Hoei, about fifty miles from Nan
kiuj,', show tho loss of life much
greater than nt first supposed.
The first reports represented thai
the crew, which consisted of several
European officers and about sixty na
tive deck hands, were supposed to
have either been burned to death or
drowned whilo endeavoring to escape
tho flames. It now appears that over
200 human beings lost their lives, and
they were all drowned. A panic
seized npon the Chinese passengers
and crow the moment the fire alarm
sounded and became terrible as scon
as it was seen the fire was beyond
control.

Loxdox, Dec. 27. Jack Bnrko goes
to-morrow to ewmarket to prepare
for a fight with Ted Pritchard.' Smart,
who acted in the same capacity for
Slavin iu his contest with McAuliffe,
will train Burke.
A message hns been sent to America
authorizing a well known boxer to
match Slavin to knock Sullivan out in
six rounds, Slavin being anxious to
meet the big American and beat him
at his own game.
Sax Fkaxoisco, Dec. 27. As yet no
answer has been received from Slavin
whether he intends coming to San
Francisco to meet Jim Corbett for a
trophy before the California Athletic
clnb. President Fnlda and hi3 co
directors will not dally with Slavin
much longer, and if an answer is not
received from him by Monday arrange
ments will probably bo made for
matching Qorbott and Jackson.
Corbett will leave San Francisco on
the 1st of the coming month, aud ex
presses himself as particularly anxious
to be matched with some one before
leaving.
New Obleaxs, Dec 27. Interest in
the Dempsey-Fitzsimmon3 contest is
increasing, and sporting men are
speculating heavily on the result.
Dempsey has a legion ot admirers who
are backing him at even money.
Filzsimmons, however, appears to be
tho favorite with a majority of the
sporting men, many of whom believe
Demrseyis overmatched.

THAT BIG STORM.

ike -Big; Blow.
Special to The AstobiA-KJ
San Fbancisco, Dec 27. 3ie bark
Seminole arrived from Kanaizao to
day after an exceedingly long pas
sage of twenty-three days.
Captain Weeden, master of the
vessel, reports very heavy weather off
the coast. A number of sails were
blown away during the voyage and
the bark was hove to for a couple of
days.
It was reported this morning that
the dismantled wreck seen by Captain
Reed of tho ship Ericcson was being
towed into port. There was no truth
in the rumor and the matter is as
great a mystery as ever. Insurance
men are of the opinion that the
derelict is the Pactoltts. Captain
Heed said that the vessel looked like
the Dashing Wave. The Pactolus
is of about the same size and a very
similar ship to the Dashing Wave.
Both ships left Tacoma on the
same tide, the Wave for San Fran
cisco and the Pactolus for China.
The Pactolus was built at Thomas-
ton, Maine, in 1865, is of 1,205 tons
gross burthen. 191.04 long, 38.05
breadth of beam and 23.05 depth of
hold. She is an old Pacific coast
trader and well known in San Fran
cisco. PLEASURE UNDER THE WATER.

TBSCRIPTIOX OF THE CRAFT.
Spocial by The Usitd Pekss.1
Detroit, Dec 27. The Detroit
Boat Company is constructing a sub
marine craft of which great things are
expected.
The vessel is forty feet long, nine
feet beam and fourteen feet depth ot
hold. The mechanism is somewhat
similar to that of the submarine tor
pedo boat Electric storage batteries
will be used for atoring oxygen, giving
light and furnishing the motive power.
The improvement- over the torpedo
boat it i3 claimed is in the buoyancy
otthe craft, which will come to the
surface as soon as the electric motor
is stopped whereas the machinery of J
the torpedo boat must be working to
bring it to the surface of the water.
Besides a screw wheel at the stern
there will be two wheels on either
side of the new craft and the turning
of an electric switch will cause the
boat to rise or plunge deeper in the
water.
It is being built as a pleasure craft,
but it it proves successful the govern
ment will be requested to consider
its adoption as a torpedo boat.

Stage But was Game to the
Last Olaim of Poul.
Special 7 The TJsrrD Press.
PoBTiiAXD, Dec 27. A glove con
test between Dave Campbell, the Port
land boy, and Larry Sullivan, of As
toria, occurred this evening in the pa
vilion. The attendance was about
1,500. Campbell was an easy winner,
it requiring oulthree rounds to de
feat his man. !
Sullivan and Campbell entered the
ring at 1020 o'clock.
In the first round Larry got in a
good facer but Dave retaliated with- a
knock-down blow that possibly was a
slip. The round ended in a clinch,
savoring of London rules instead of
Queensbnry,and Sullivan secured
first blood. Larry did tho leading,
and raised the hopes of the Astorians.
The round, although tame, was in
Larry s favor.
Second Bound. Sullivan fought
and showed his cleverness to great ad
vantage by neatly ducking several
savage swings. Near the end of the
round both clinched and fell, with
Sullivan on top, when time was called.
In the third round, and the last,
Sullivan resorted to tantalizing tactics
and scored several good jabs, which
whsre heavily countered by Campbell,
and as both afterwards resorted to
straight slogging Sullivan gave way
from a heavy blow on the neck, going
down. Ho rose while groggy, receiv
ing another fall and while in the act of
recovering he received a third blow
which sent him into tho audience.
When replaced on the stage ho was in
a helpless condition. He attempted
to again face the heavy sledge ham
mer blows of Campbell, when a blow
m the region of right ear sent him to
grass, he being knocked senseless.
Beferee "White of the San Francisco
Examiner gave the fight to Camp
