Has'llon, Pa., March 21 -P. A. Kelly,

attendant on th Jum About midnight
h. was a tart led by the appearance of a
big, vll lalnoue-look trig man, who demand
ed that the lights be cut off. Kelly Is
a amad but nervy man, and ordered the
fellow out of th. elation. Instead of
going the vlaltor reau hrd for th. it. am
valve, and was turning It when the elec
trician stunned him by a heavy blow on
Ih. Jaw. II. then made a signal, which
waa responded to by three dark-viaaged
pale, who bad bean crouching behind th.
dynamo. Aa they attempted to croaa
the room the eeement interfered as If by
magic. A heavy gal. of wind brought
two wires together, sending th. current
bark Into tho smaller generator, which
Instantly waa converted Into a motor
and reversed lis motion. A streak of
lightning flaahed about the room, while
a blu. light aw mad to come from every
part of th. building, and tongues of fir.
struck terror to tho hearts of th. visitors.
Th. big fellow nod precipitately, but his
compauilona lost th-lr beatings and
begged for merry. Kelly had seen th.
cut runt playing at rang pranks, hut never
anything like that , After getting th
three men out he brok. the switch and
quloi waa restored. The electrician ex
plalna that the wire became crossed by
the wind, and whan the switch was
broken the tvtulon was again released,
and uton alerting th. dynamo It worked
all rtghl. It was learned today that the
thuga had planned to rob aeveral houses
In the vicinity. and for that reason
umtI to put the town In darkness.
THE FINANCIAL MARKET.
A Oood Oouttook for a Firm Money Mar
ket In Future.
New Tork, March IL Th. Financier
says:
The statement of the associate banks
of New York City for the week ending
Marrh tl reflects Ih. prevailing shrinkage
In th. money market. Th. loan expan
alon for the week was not quite 11 no.-nn
The outward movement of currency still
continue., and It la the prevailing sen
timent that th. return tide will not set
In until April or per ha pa later. Thee,
are eigne, however, that this flow Is
nearing Its end and while there has been
a fair demand from western centers, ex
change rates are easing slightly. The
outlook, however. Is for a nrm money
market for some time to come. The
government depository banks Isst week
turned over four millions Into the treas
ury In response to th. call for the S)
per cent payment and as the sum remain
ing lo lie paid la a very larg one, the
amount of payments to be made has an
Important bearing on the general situa
tion. The execes reserve Is down to 20.
000,000 and a call for the balance of the
government deposits would hav. an em
barrasring effect on the market as th.
reserves of the banks are In many rases
at a low point. The treasury Is, how
ever, treating th. banks liberally In this
matter, and no fear It Is said may be
apprehended from such a causa.

Ixindon, March H. France, It Is gner
ally believed here, la burning her fingers
with th. Egyptian question. The French
government. It Is asserted, eipect-d the
co-operation of Germany, but found she
had been anticipated by Grat Britain,
us the Marquis of Salisbury asaured him
self of th. support of Emperor William
In th matter, and the latter Is said to
have Informed the British premier that
Great Britain could rely upon the sup
port of Germany and Austria If h- aided
Italy.
The Marquis of Salisbury, It app ars,
had not consulted with the Congo Free
Btst airthorttle before announcing th.
government's decision. France Conse
quently found herself confronted with a
plan fully prearranged, and It Is stated
sh- now shows a disposition to "climb
down" from th. attitude she assumed
when the government Issued Its note of
Wednesday last, saying that the proposed
advance up th. Nil. was a meat sur
prise to the government of Franc, and
would serve to embitter the English feel
ing In that country at the time when a
better understanding was promised, and
adding that Great Britain's explanation
that advance Is necssary to the Interest
of Egypt Is viewed with sarcasm In
France.
Th. wording of this not Is now sad
dled on the premier, M. Bourgeois, who.
It Is aeerted. Issued It without consulting
th rest of the ministers.
Much Interest Is manifested In legal and
other circles In tha bill Introduced at
the Instance of LcrJ Salisbury, for th.
suppression of Indecent evidence. This
measure waa read for th. secon time In
the house of lords yesterday. By Its
provisions th. Judge 1 empowered to
order evidence which he thinks will be
prJudlclal to public morals not to be
published. The lord chief Justice, Baron
Russell, of Killoween, Is known to be
opposed to the bill, and It Is quoted that
the master of rolls. Baron E'her, presi
dent of th. divorce court. Is of the opln
In that the law Is already strong eoouRh,
and that If the pi ofjosad measure b
come, a law. It will practically establish
a censorship of the press.
Lord Clenesk, proprietor of th. Morning
Post, contended that th. tendency of
the press was against the publication of
such details, and asserted that he had
read more offensive things in recent nov
els than had ever been found in news
paper. Although the bill had been read
for th. second time in the house of lords
It Is doubtful If It will be adopted by th.
house of commons.
The Field continues Its opposition to
the presence of the Tals crew at the
Henley regatta, and prints a letter urg
ing the most stringent Inquiry Into the
amateur standing of members of that
crew who Intend to take part In the
race at Henley, "without being desired
to do so," as the writer says, and sug
gesting the passage of a rule excluding
all foreign crews from participating In
the annual regatta at Henley.
Another letter to the FIHd contends
that racing for money by public sub
scription, as has been done In the United
States, prejudice! the status of members
of the Tale crew and amateurs.
YALE'S ENTRY WELCOMED.
Henley. On the Thames, March a. Un
usual attention Is centered upon this
year's regatta from the fact that more
than ever It will partake of an Inter
national character. In addition to the
entry of the Yal. crew, there are entiiJs
from rowing clubs from Holland, France,
and Germany. It Is also hoped the fa
mous Argonaut Club, of Toronto, will
again cross the Atlantic and compete.
In consequence, the officials are making
preparations for what will undoubtedly
be the record year.
J. F. Cooper, secretary of the regatta
committee, said: "Nothing could have
given the committee more satisfaction
than the entry of the crew from Yale
They are so well known to English ath
letes, by reason of their contests, that
they will be welcomed with open arms."
STILL IN SESSION.
Not Thought Likely the Cannerymen
Will Effect a Combine.
Portland, March SI. Saturday night
finds the cannerymen still talking, with
no solution of the vexed questions con
fronting them yet provided. They are,
if anything, more at sea than at any time
during the session, and It Is not at all
without the range of probability that a
combination will not be formed at this
time. Some of th. members left for
home this evening, but those remaining
are holding another session tonight. From
the present outlook, It will result as all
others have. Ther seems at this tlmu
no way to harmonise the various clash
ing elements sufficiently to allow a suc
cessful combination to be made.
The meeting of packers adjourned to
night to reconvene In the parlors of
the Portland Tuesday. Many matters of
Import have been settled, but nothing
tending to a realization of the primary
object for which the meeting was called.
Tho meetings have been exciting, in that
almost each one had an idea of his own
to introduce which he .strenuously sup
ported, but the result has always be n
the same. It Is understood other con
solidation schemes are In preparation for
Tuesday, and that at that time the de
sired combination will be formed. Mem
bers absolutely refuse to divulge any de
tail of the matters considered In the
meetings already held.

THE BALOCHMYLsj'S ARRIVAL.
Safe In Port After a Tempestuous Pas
sage from Newcastle. .
.
The old colonial trader Balochmyle
came Into the harbor of Astoria yester
day, after a passage of 76 days trora
Newcastle. N. S.W. Captain Talt, her
commander, reports a rather unpleasant
voyage: this and an accident which
occurred four days after leaving New
castle has bad, no doubt, a good deal
to do with the length of the passage.
At about 9 p. m. on January 8. l.v,
while the ship waa In latitude 12 south
lil9 east, she encountered very severe
weather and was dismantled, her main
topmast carrying away about five t.'et
above the lower cap. The wreckage fell
paruy on uecK ana partly over tn. siae,
and, In order to save the ship, the gear
and rigging had to be cut away. After
almost superhuman efforts the decks
were finally cleared and the ship' was
once more headed for Portland, ur.der
Jury rig. The heavy Iron topsail yards
were broken like carrots, and h.r imwer
ful pitch-pine topmast splintered like
matchwood. The loss of canvass and
ropes was great, particularly on the
mainmast.
Captain Talt and his crew, hower.r,
did not remain Idle: every available soar
and plank was used up In making new
masts and Ashing yards that were brok
en. Hawsers and hauling lines were
utilised In making rigging and when '.he
vessel arrived here yesterday she did
not look as If she had passed through
such an ordeal: but to the practical sea
man she appeared a sort of nondescript
craft, for, while she had double topsails
on the fore, she carried the old-fashioned
single topsail on the main, with double
topgallant sails on the fore, while the
main was minus both upper and lower
topgallant yards. The ship, as sketched
at the time by one of the officers. Is a
truly marvelous sight.
The vessel will take out part of her
cargo here and then proceed to Portland.
The damage to the vessel's rigging, while
serious, has In no wise, however. Im
paired the hull, and Captain Talt ex
pects little detention. If any, on account
of the mishap. Captain Talt deserv.-s
great credit for bringing his vessel safely
into port. Many a shipmaster would
no uouoi nave run his vesael Into some i
N;w Zealand port and re-tltted her. All ;
the world likes a plucky man, and it 's I
to be hoped Captain Talt will have his I
reward from the proper Quarters.

An Astortan representative who visit!
the scene of th Ulenmoraa; yesterday
says:
Th vessel lies In a peculiar position,
having the appearance of just anchoring
on the edge of th. beach for cargo. Her
anchors were let go soon after th. Mp
struck, and the bow, holding the cor
rent, lifted her stem up onto the beach
leaving her heading about east southeast.
At first sight It seems an easy matter
10 save the ship as site looks ready to
leave herself: bat after examining the
position (almost broadside on) and tu
slope of th. beach, which Is very gentle,
the Idea Is quickly dispelled.
The Glenmorag left Callao on Jarmarr
S. experenced a very fair passage with
the exception of head winds and fogs
which were encountered for a few days
previous to the fatal one. The captai
would give no statement to th press,
but soma of the sailors interviewed talk
ed freely. One said:
"We were going along at a fair rate
when we ran Into fog and ware oa th
point of wearing around when
struck. W. hov the lead at 11 o'clock
In the morning and got lu fathom. At
11 o'clock we got no bottom.
The sailor who had lb wheel at tks
time of the accident, stated: "I went
to th wheel and followed th course;
we were In a big foe bank when a slight
Jar was felt: the second and the shocks
which followed la rapid succMaloa were
very severe. I remained at th wheel
about IS or 30 minutes, until I was called
to go to one of th. boats, whl.-h n
the second to leave the ship, sad
tha one In which Reddle and Adams lost
thetr lives and the others were Injured.
We made the shore after a hard struggle
there being only on man la the beat
beside myself wbe waa able to pull.
After we gained the beach we found that
the first boat had arrived safely snd
that aid had been summoned. The third
boat cam. ashore shortly after. No sig
nal guns were fired, as It all happened
suddenly."
None of the men ascribe any reason for
the wreck except that a dense fog was
prevailing. The "injured men ar uuder
the car. of Dr. Parks, under whose
treatment they are rapidly Improving. '
All of th. uninjured men are busy trans
porting the portable goods to a place of
safety. Quite a quantity of stores, sails
and spare rigging . have been takra
ashore.
The Ilwaco Beach crew made one trie'
to the stranded ship to get some of the
men's clothes and to render any assist
ance possible. The life crew from
Toque's point was towed down by the tug
Coleman en the afternoon of the Zftth,
and after signaling th. share returned
to Willapa Bay.

scene of the disaster yesterday to give
Cast, Cunie counsel and to take the
crew their letters, which seemed accept
able. Mr. . Cherry stated that nothing
definite could be green out about selling
the ship.
