THE DEATHLIST GROWS
FIFTY-SIX TOTAL WREOKS
The Victims of the Wreck of the Steamer
Portland More Than 150. The Great
Number of Minor Wreck’s. Many Place-
Yet to Hear From.
Boston, Mass" Dec. 1.—The news of
the loss of the Boston and Portland
Steam Packet Company’s steamer
Portland off Cape Cod. and the death
of. more than one hundred and fifty
persons, who, according to the latest
reports, comprised the passengers and
crew of the steamer, and news from
other ports on Cape Cod, showing that
at least thirty—five vessels were wreck-
ed along that shore, with the loss of a
dozen lives, have greatly increased the
total of lives lost during Saturday eve-
ning’s storm.
There are still other places to be
heard from on both sides of the caps,
which have not been reached by train
on account of snow blockades, and are
cut off from other means of communi-
cation by broken wires, blockaded
highways and broken bridges.
Yesterday morning, while the total
loss of life cannot be estimated with
any degree of aCcuracy, it is known
that more than two hundred persons
perished.
This estimate is made on the basis
of only one from each crew reported to
be missing, and each of which would
include at least three, while the large
schooners would have seven or eight
men on board.
Attempts to estimate the property
lisses sustained by. shipping interests
are equally difficult from the facts in
hand, but it appears that the bulk of
the damage was done between Cape
‘Ann, where a score or more of vessels
were lost, and Cuttyhunk, where the
steamer “Tarwick is on the rocks.
From present reports it is known
that fifty-six vessels have been totally
wrecked, while forty-nine are ashore
with hardly a chance of being sav-
ed.
Of the fifty-six total wrecks, barges
not included, forty-three craft aggre-
gate 12,202 gross tonnage. Of those in
perilous positions twenty-eight aggre—
gate 7,159 tons.
The stranding of the large Wilson
line steamer Ohio and the ocean tug:
Tamaqua is not included in the esti-
mate given, nor many of the big coal
barges ashore in Boston harbor.
The position of the latter craft is now
dangerous.
The number 0!! schooners which have
been driven ashore in fairly safe berths
damaged by collision or dismasted, can
be reckoned by the score, and many
of them are likely 'to be included in the
list of total wrecks before the day
ends.
Ireland for the- Philippines:
Rome, Dec. 1.—-It is stated here that
.the pope intends to establish a. papal
nuncio in the Philippines and has sum-
moned Archbishop Ireland to Rome to
offer him the office.
St. Paul, Minn, Dec. 1.——Archbishop
Ireland was seen at his residence yes-
terday afternoon and questioned re-
specting the report from Home that
he was to receive the offer of the post
of papal nuncio in the Philippines. He
said: a
“I know absolutely nothing about it.
I have received no such message or
call.”
“Do you think such a thing is in
contemplation?” was asked ‘by his in—
terviewer. '
“I think I have answered the ques-
tion just as fully as it is possible to
answer it,” was the archbishop’s re-
ply.
Hoar Against the Treaty.
Worcester, Mass. Dec. 1.——Senator
Hoar has announced himself as posi—
tivelsr opposed to the treaty which
would acq‘uire the Philippines. He
said: , .
“We have not, so far, any news
which is absolutely trustworthy of
what they are doing in Paris. But if
the report is true that it is proposed
to buy of Spain the “sovereignty of
the Philippine islands," and to pay
twenty million dollars for it, I do not
believe that such a. treaty will be
agreed to, and I do not believe it ought
to be agreed to.”
llIitchcll After Shin-key.
London, Dec. 1.—Pony Moore, father-
in—law of Charles Mitchell, the pugilist,

Sharkey for five hundred or one thou-
sand pounds a side, and the best purse
offered for the contest by any club in
England or the United States.
It is announced by Moore that the
match can be ratified immediately by
Sharkey covering the two hundred
pounds and forwarding articles. for
Mitchell's signature.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 1.——E‘x-Queen
Lilioukalani has reached Washington

BOSTON PHYSICIANS TESTIFY.
——
War Investigators. Taking Testimony
About the Porto Bican Campaign.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.——The war in-
vestigating commission began its ses-
sion at 9.30 o'clock yesterday morning
and after a brief executive session Dr.
J. Booth Clarkson 0: Boston, who went
to Porto Rico as medical agent for the
Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Associa-
tion, was called as the first of the wit-
nesses.
He noticed, he said, a. shortage of
supplies and of some medicines, but
thought that the reason for this was
that there were not enough transports.
He thought that any neglect on the
part of nurses Was due to ignorance
and not to wilfulness.
He recomménded a. change in rations
for volunteer soldiers who go to the
tropics and that they should not be
called upon for any unnecessary la~
bor.
Major Charles K. Darling of the
Sixth Massachusetts volunteers testi-
fied that his troops sometimes lacked
food, and said that he believed this
was due to lack of transports and to
bad roads in Porto Rico.
His command was transported from
Charleston to Porto Rico on the Yale,
and the major said he thought that
that vessel was not fit to be used as
a transport.
Lieutenant Jeremiah G. Fennessey,
quartermaster of the Ninth Massachu—
setts volunteers, conipilained of a lacx
of transport facilities for 'the troops
and for‘supplies, at Santiago, and said
that on tie way home proper food
was not provided for the men who were
sick.
Dr. F. M. Johnson of this city, who
attended Lieutenant William Tiffany
of New York, who died in this city af-
ter his return from Santiago with the
Rough Riders, on the Olivette, told the
story of his patient’s sickness and
death.
He said that death was the result of
protracted fever and starvation, ex—
plaining that by starvation he meant
inanition.
The doctor believed that Lieutenant
Tiffany either could not get proper
food or else could not assimilate it.
Dr. Henry Lamont, surgeon of the
Rough Riders, testified that Colonel
Wood did not at first allow him enough
nurses. He was also unable to get es—
sential medicines on the start from
Tampa. ' '
He charged that the officers of the
transport Yucatan, especially the cap-
tain. displayed a disposition to do as
they pleased.
It was with great difficulty that he
got his medical supplies on shore and
to the front, because of a. lack of tran—
sportation facilities.
Dr. Lamont said that great inconve- '
nience was caused at El Caney bat-
tlefield by the lack of litters and am~
bulances, his application for which
Colonel Wood refused to grant when
the command ltft Tampa.
“When I was suffering from a wound
and was a patient in the hospital at
Siboney,” said Dr. Lamont, “I did not
receive proper. attention, receiving no
medicine in the six days that I was
there. I came back on the City of
Washington, which was not properly
prepared for carrying sick men. There
was not proper food for sick men and
no medical stores. No medical oflficer
had charge of the embarkation of the
wounded men.”
Edward Atkinson also testified.
Likely to Become Very Bright.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 1.—Compu-
tations made at the Yale observatory
show that the new Chase comet is
about 230,000,000 miles away from the
earth, or about two and one-half times
as far as the sun.
It shows on the photographic plate
some elongation. Its orbit corresponds
with that of no periodic comet known,
but whether or not it is itself a. pe-
riodic comet cannot yet be determined,
though it has apparently no connection
with the Lenoid meteors.
The time of its perihelion passage is.
April 22, 1899, and it must constantly
grow brighter until that time, and be
visible for several months, possibly to
the naked eye.
The computations at Lick observa-
tory show that it is nearer to the sun
than is shown by the computations at
Yale, and if the Lick computations are
correct the comet will be a. very bright
one.
The time of perihelion passage, as
computed at both places, very nearly
corresponds.
I) created Candidate Weds.
New York, Dec. 1.—The wedding of
Elliot Danforth, recent Democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor, to
Mrs. Richard Mott Laimbeer took place
at two o’clock yesterday afternoon in
the parlor of the bride’s suite at the
Hotel Savoy.
Rev. 1. M. Haldeman of the
Baptist church officiated.
The bride was given away by her
brother, Mr. John V. Black.
First:
- The bride and groom took the Com .
gressional limited for Washington.
They will be gone about three weeks,
visiting Atlanta, Asheville, Richmond,
Raleigh and Savannah.
When they return they will give a
reception inthe public parlor of the
Savoy, which they will make their
future home.
New Torpedo Boat Failed.
Philadelphia, Dec. 1.—The official
trial of the torpedo boat Mackenzie,
which took place over the government
course at Deepwater Point, below Wil- ,
mington, Del, was not a. success and
another trial will be made about De-
cember 10, .
The contract for the Mackenzie calls
for twenty knots an hour, but the
highest rate attained on her full speed
trial was 18 knots.
The members of the trial board of
the navy on board were Commander
Emory, Lieutenants Winterhalter and
Sergeant, Dr. Ulsh, Naval Constructor
Smith and Engineer Hall.
Improved Health of Soldiers.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 1.—-A great

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
Points of Municipal Govemmeni Which
We Would Do “Fell to Learn. '
We Americans are a fairly capable
and adaptable. race, says a writer in
Lippincott’s. same few things we
can teach the world; nay, we. have
done it already. But some other things
we are not so good at. England
could give us points on municipal
government; cur cl ties are scarcely so
well managed as Manchester and Bir-
mingham. England prepares her dip-
l- lomatistsby natural selection and sys-
tematic training; we trust the fitness
of ours to luck. Shehas standardsof
public character and conduct in office;
it is questionable whether we have
any. She cultivates. and defers to ex-
pert opinions on finance, political econ-
omy, and the like; we hold “professors
and theorists” in some contempt, and
consider one man’s notion as good as
aother’s. When new dangers and du-
ties confront us,» our happy-go-lucky
temper recalls the. man in Dickens
who “supposed” he could play the.
fiddle; he had never tried.
Now, Britain can, as a rule, rely on
the quality needed in any of her‘public
servants. It is not that Englishmen
are naturally better. or brighter than
Americans; they and we are built on
the some foundations; but they are
trained for their work—they have to
be. It is not so long since appoint-
ments with them came by patronage
and “pulls,” much as with us now.
but they found it expedient to substi-
tute a. merit system. The system has
had a good deal to do with England’s
prosperity and progress, with her re-
cent strides toward widened empire,
with her present isolated greatness.
