2 BURNING OF TOE STEAMER PATRIA All the Passengers Rescued by the Ceres, THE ESCAPE DIFFICULT FIRE BROKE OFT AM< >X<5 Till) GENERAL CARGO. FED BY LINSEED OIL. ALL EFFORT VAIN The Passengers Reach Dover in Safety. The Captain Remains by the Ship in the Hope of Putting Her Ashore and Salving Her. I/ondon, Nov. 15. —The Hamburg American steamer Patria, Captain Froh lich, which left New York November 4th for Hamburg and passed the Lizard yestenhiy. is on tire near Dover. All the passengers were rescued and have arrived at Dover. The Russian steamer Ceres sighted the Patria. showing signals of distress and demanding immediate help about twelve miles from North Hinder Light ship. The liner was enveloped in smoko. Putting on full steam the Ceres soon reached the Patria, and sending a boat learned that Captain Prolieh was in ur gent need of assistance. The boats were got out, and with great difficulty all of the Patria's passengers, numbering 150. were transferee! to the Ceres which proceeded for Dover, wheri she arrived just before midnight. Francis W. Prescott, the United States Consul in Dover, was immediate ly notified and he consulted with the harbor authorities, who arranged to send out the harbor tug Lady Vita, which brought the rescued ashore. Among the saved are many ladies and children, as well as six babes in arms. The hurry of the rescue was indicated by tin* fact that most of the passen gers were enveloped in blankets only. They were rapidly distributed among tin* hotels or sent to the Sailors’ Home, and everything 'possible is being done for their comfort. According to interviews with sonic of the passengers, which elicited the fact that most of them are American citizen! who have come for a vacation in Europe, all were ordered on deck at <1 o’clock Wednesday morning, wu n they were informed that a disastrous fire had broken out among the general cnrgif. and, as the crew were unable to master it, the captain said he consider'd it advisable for the passengers to take to the boats. At this time St was evident that the lire half obtained a thorough hold upon the cargo. Smoke and flames were as ceudfing with overpowering force and causing the greatest alarm. The crew. # according to several passengers, worked like heroes in their endeavors to keep the flames under, but the great quantity of linseed .among the cargo and the oil supplied by this made all their efforts hopeless. There was very great excitement among the women and children, but the example set by the coolness of Captain Frolilich and the crew had a calming effect on the passengers generally. The boats were promptly got over the sides, the crew working as if they were at drill. The safety of the ladies and children was the first consideration. As the fire had by this time consumed the greater part of the passengers’ belongings they had to get into the boats as they had come up from their bunks, and some were in very light raiment. 'w The scene #was a. striking one, with some touching aspects, as husbands and fathers parted front wives and children. Although everything was carried out uinleiythe must trying conditions, thanks to tjrb great coolness of the captain and the crew, there was no panic, all of the passengers being gotten into the boats and into the two fishing boats said to belong to Yarmouth, which had come up in the meantime. Just as this had been effected a large steamer was seen to be mak'iig toward the burrJng liner. She proved to be the Ceres, which first sent a boat and then picktd up all the Patria’s passen gers. The Ceres also offered to take off Captain Frolich and the crew, but the latter preferred to remain by the vessel so long as there was any chance of sav ing her, although there was the greatest danger in doing so, her hull being red hot at the time and there being every evidence that she would burn for a, con siderable period. The passengers say they heard from the officers that Captain Frolich hopes to put his steamer ashore at some point on the coast where there will be a pos sibility of salving her. 4 ‘He is Wise Who Talks But Little ” This is only a half truth .

Nov. 15.—Private advices received bore today from St. Pierre, Miquelon, a seaport on the New foundland coast, tell of the wreck ol the Philadelphia and Baltimore schooner Edna and Emma, and tin 1 loss of the captain, his wife, and the crew of five men. 'Die Edna and lvmniu sailed from Wil mington, N. (’., on April 14th with a cargo of lumber for Baltimore and this city. Months having claimed and no word of the vessel's whereabouts having been received she was given up for lost. Recently she was towed into iSt. Pierre, bottom! up. When the ship was righted, in tin* cabin were found the Isvdies of Captain Richafnisou and his wife. A 'water stained diary kept by the captain gave meagre imfonmitoin concerning the disaster. 'Pile record stated the Edna and lEmnna had exi*erietw*ed good wearier until May Ist. when a, fierce northeast storm overtook her ami she was dismast ed. Later the rudder became jn nlifted and in this disabled condition the sehoo.i* er was driven aluout at the mercy of Re wind and waves. One by one the niem- Ik-i's of the crew were washed overtioard, and 'Captain Richardson and his wife sought refuge 5n the cabin. At this point the story of flic diary ends. Owing to the 'illegibility of some portions of 'lie handwriting the point at which the Edna and Emma met with the disaster could mot be learned. ROBERTS WILL NOT RESIGN.

I was elected on purely political lines and will go to Con gress absolutely free of this so-called chureh influence over me.” MOVE FOR FUSION IN OHIO.

Toney whose mandamus issued on election day for the admission of Honest Election League inspectors to IMilling places callseil the principal ex citement of that day, was today re strained by the Appellate Court at Frankfort, from taking any further ne rthni in the contempt cases growing out of the order. Yesterday thirty-live al leged violators of Judge Toney’s or der were bound over by him in the sum of SSOO each. Today he was pro ceeding with the cases and had sentenced one prisoner to thirty hours in jail, when the order of the Appellate Court was received.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 15. —It is conce ded here that the Kentucky election will remain a tangle until the meeting of the State Election Commissioners, the date of which has not been set lmt which will occur in the last week of this month. County election commissioners in Knox county who certified to the vote in that county will file a supplemental state incut with tin* State board, stating that fraud and intimidation were practiced b.v the Republicans in every precinct and that the county commissioners were ovi rawed and forced by a mob of drunk en men to certify the vote and will con clude by recommending that the entire vote Ih* thrown out. General Taylor received 1,384 majority in Knox county. There is renewed confidence around tlie Goebel headquarters tonight prob ably as a result of the decision of the Court of Appeals today dealing an un expected blow to the Republicans by a ruling which practically decides adverse ly in advance the mandamus suits filed by Taylor’s attorneys in several coun ties to compel the county election com missioners to certify the vote. It is prob able now that tin* Jefferson board, which includes Louisville, will proceed to throw out several precincts in that city contested on grounds of fraud, espe cially where the State militia were pres «*nt or near the jmills on election day. It is claimed here tonight that Taylor's 2,(500 plurality in the city of Louisville may now be almost wiped out. if a man succeed# lie attributes it to bis own endeavors, but if he fails he at tributes it to the endeavors of others.
