Philadelphia, Nov. 16. The voyege
of the steamer Belgenland. which arrived
here today from Liverpool, wa9 marked
by two rescues at sea. To the watchful
eye of the lookout can be credited the
saving of a number of lives.
Tho waterlogged and sailless schooner
Willie L. Maxwell was sighted last Sun
day, and she was taken in tow with her
crew oi ten men, the vessel having be
come helpless.
Monday morning a bmall boat was
sighted, drifting helplessly with five men
aboard. When the men were taken on
the steamer it was found that they v ere
the crew of the abandoned schooner
Theodore Dean. Capt. Janus F. Ilodgon,
of the Dean, tins been washed from the
sn all boat and lost.
The Dean left South Amboy lisslFiiday
for Norfolk, with a cargo of coal. When
off Absccon light she lost her mainsail,
and on Saturday at noon, when forty
five miles from Barnegat she sprang a
leak, n plank having been torn from her
side.
The vessel tilled rapidly, and with four
feet of water in her hold tlie captain or
dered the sm.,11 boat lowered, and the
crew of six men left the schooner. An
hour later the schooner sank.
Tlie boat drifted until SI o'clock Mon
day morning, when it was sighted by the
Belgeuland and tho men were rescued
from their perilous situation 137 miles
from the Delaware capes,
Tlie shipwrecked men suffered greally
from cohl and hunger. They had with
them in the boat only a small quantity of
biscuit and a gallon jug of water. This
they touched sparingly, as they feared
that even should their boat not be swamp
ed, it might be many d lys before they
would be saved.

Rai.kiuh, N. C. November, 17. Gov
ernor Rnssell commutes to life imprison
ment the death sentence of George John
son tlie negro condemned to he hung at
Wilmington on Thanksgiving Day. Nov
ember 25th. The reasons slated for
commuting the sentence are that evidence
produced since the trial clearly proves
the negro woman's bail character.
Strong evidence is being brought to
bear on the Governor to commute the
leatb sentence of the negro John Evans,
convicted of rape at Rockingham ami
condemned to be hung on November 26,
at that place. Letters urging the (!ov
ernor to pursue this course are being
received by him in large numbers.
Among others Cyrus H. Watson will
urge Governor Russell to commute the
sentence to imprisonment.

Wasiiinutox, D. C, Nov. Hi. Secre
tary Long will ask for bids for the con
struction of an armor plant complete
upon plans to lie furnished by the special
board now considering the subject.
This board has orders to report its find
ing to the Navy Department by Decem
ber 1. and immediately on Hie report
being received advertisements will be
issued calling for bids. Firms like the
Carnegie and liellilehein Companies may
put in bids for the dispositions ot their
establishments complete.
Tlie Department, however, is not
bound to accept any bid, nor has it any
authority to do so, until granted by Con
Kress. I'nder the resolution by which
the Hoard was appointed the Secretary
is called upon to furnish Congress the
cost of building an armor plant, together
with the proposals submitted by outside
parties for carrying out the work.
Tlie recommendation of the board, if
asked, will be against the Government
undertaking tho manufacture of its
armor.
