Perils of the Sea.

Disaster to th« North Pacific Whaling Fleet.

Caught in the Ice Drift in Behring's sea--Several Vessels Abandoned—A numbsr of Lives Lost-

Long and Perilous Journey to the open

Sea

Many MenCof the Crew Remain with Ihe Vessels, Being Afraid to Undertako the Journey Over the ice.

San Francisco, Oct. 21.—T lit' whaling bark Florence arrived this afternoon iVom the Arctic ocean with 190 men on hoard, being a part of the crews of the Arctic whaling fleet, twelve ot which she reports lout in the ice with a portion of the

crews.

The remaining survivors

have gone tol Ionolula,on the bark Ihree Brothers. The following is a synopsis of the written reports of the master of the fleet: '•On arrival in Behring,s Sea, tonnci plentv of ice and extreme weather. But tew whales were taken in the first part ot the season. Commenced taking walruses on June 1st. The ships engaged soon -ot all they had casks for. Bf tween the "oth of Jul and the 1st of August the ..hips worked over to the east shore, and xo north toward Point Barrow, as fast as the icc opened. 'Ihe bark Arctic was crushed by ice July 7th, off Sea horse Islands, 18 miles from land. The "crew escaped to shore, and finally were taken on board the bark Onward, and subsequently disiriouted among the fleet. Captain Whitney going on board the bark Rainbow. '•Abrut the 1st oi August the fleet fourteen in number, reached Point Bar row. 'I he Northern Light and Norman staid south, watrusing, and escaped the disaster that followed. Had to stand from Point Barrow several times, owing to ice standing on shore. August 14, a breeze from the north and northwest broke up the ice, whales made their appearance, and soon all the ships wer actively engaged northeast of Point Barrow the wind blowing half from the west to the northeast until the night ot August 18, when it began blowing fresh iVoin the east-n.irt.ic.'ist. All the ships stood inshore and ancho/cd to avoid the drifting ice.

tempted to get ashore, but returned unsuccessful. The next day the masters held a council on the Java, and concluded there was no further hope of saving the ships, some of which were already badly nipped by the ice. This was only a touch of what might be expected. The ships altogether had about three months provisions—not enough to last through the winter. After a full discussion, seeing no way out of the difficulty, it was dccided that the only way to save the lives of all,was to reach land before escape became impossible. September 5 was chosen for the day of starting. 1 he ships were twenty or thirty miles

land, abreast the"west head of Smith's

resumed the march in a blind

ing snow storm from the northeast. The prospect was most discouraging. Several men deserted and returned toward the ship where a number of the crew remained, who refused to lace the hardships of a journey toward land. Oftheir fate we know nothing. September sixth, reached a strip of open water, launched the boats, and pulled toward land. All that day and the next kept workin through and over the ice, and at 8 P. II. made land, two miles west of Point I'Argent. Continued working along shore. "At noon on the 9th sighted the Three Brothers and Rainbow, at Point Barrow, and reached them before night. Found the ice all solid beyond and the only chance of escape was to drag the boats overland to the open sea, a distance, as afterwards provtd, ot rne hundred and thirty miles. Made sleds and attempted the journey, but on reaching Cape Smith lound the bark Florence there.

After

consultation it was decided

that anv effort to proceed would be madness, and preparations were made for wintering as best we could at Point Barrow, The boats were prepared for whaling, as that was the only resource for our food, and work was commenced on a house. "On the night of September 13th the ice began breaking up before a strong east wind. Next day ihe Floience was able to get under way. All ha^ds and the baggage were put on board. ,,Ran down the coast And found the Clawr^Urfl^, fast intlre fee. Her captain said he wcJuId stay by her till the 17th, when, if there was 110 prospect ot getting out, he would leave in the boats for clear water. Phe Florence was to wait for him. "Next night made Wainwrights Inlet. Awaited for the crew of the Clara Bell and to get water. On the afternoon of the iSth the Three Brothers and Rainbow, which had escaped from Point Barrow, joined us, the former bringing the crew of the Clara Bell, which remained fast in the ice with no hope of getting out. Part of the people on the Florence were then put on board the Three Brothers and a rendezvous appointed at St. Lawrence Bay, where they would stop for water. Both arrived there on the 23rd and left next day for San Francisco and the Three Brothers for lonolulu. "The following it a list of the abandoned vtssels: Barks Onward and Clara Bell, San Francisco ships St. George and Marengo, and barks Cornelius Howland, James Allen and Java, of NewBedford ship Camilla and barkantine Josephine, of Boston bark Acres Barns, New London, and Hawaiian barks Desmond and Arctic. The vessel had on board a together 1,000 barrels of oil, besides a large amonnt of whalebone and ivory. Is is the individual opinion of every master that no hope can ce entertained of the rescue of the ships, 01 those who remained on board of them. All are undoubtedly lost, carried away to the northeast in the immense ice pack which closed them in for miles around. "W. H. Kelly, Master ef Marengo. "B. F. Homan, of C. Howland. "F. S.

A Novel Idea!

'THE MERCHANTS FREE EXCURSION

ASSOCIATION."

The merchants ofTerre Haute, pleased with the immense trade which the two or three big political rallying days brought them, are thinking of organizing an association the object of which shall be to run free trains to Terre Haute at stated intervals. F01 instance a train would be chartered on the I. & St. L. to-day, and advertised well in advance, all of the subscribing merchants appending their names to an invitation to everybody to take a free ride. There is no question but that the people in the surrounding towns can buy to great advantage in Terre Haute. The free tickets could be made good to return on the same on the next day. It need not cost a great deal to each merchant if the association is large enough. One free train could be run each week, taking the .roads in turn. The GAZETTE does not know abSblutely, but thinks that to Mr. Jacob Miller is due the credit of the suggestion.

The Eastern War.

A Bloody Battle.

England Abandons Turkey-

ENGLAND ABANDONS TURKEY. New Yoik, Oct., 21.—A special frotr London says, "England has decided le ive the Ottoman empire to its tnte. She will hold Constantinople to the last extremity, but the territory can be divided up among whatcvei nations are able to subdue and hold it. If Russia now crosses into Balzaus, the hour of the Tu.kin Europe has come. England's plan is to make Constantinople a second Gibraltar. Her Majesty's cabinet resolved Thursday night that the invasion of Turkey by the Russians shall be the signal for the occupation of Constantinople by 30,000 troops, and the movement of the whole fleet of iron clads now in Besiker bay to the Golden llorn. To provide for such an emergency transports will at once carry t.irce'corps of regulars to Malta, where enormous quantities of military stores and provisions have been accumulating for months past. Should the now belligerent powers, such as Germany, ustria and France, oppose, Britain's policy will be the occupation of Egypt, a policy rendered necessary by the vital importance to Great Britain of the Suez canal. Some prominent Englishmen say that the Khedive would be very willing to hold his tittl under the sovereignty of the English throne, much the same as the roval princes of India. The command of the English troops in the east has been assigned to Major-General Sir Charles William Dunbar Stavely, K. C. B., an experienced Indian officer. One hundred and fifty half pay officers of armv have applied for permission to join the Turkish forces. So bitter is the hatred of the Russians, the positions are said to be already offered them.'' WHAT AMERICAN MISSIONARIES SA^

The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a long statement, which it says is by long statement, wnicn ,V tfVrs declined persoris fullv entitled to speak on behalf-

of the whole body of American mission* aries in Turkey. The writer savs: "Tile protestant missionaries do not hesitate tp say that the Turkish government affords better assurance of religious liberty than some 1 the forms of christian rule which might replace it. The missionaries, have such dread of Russian ascendency thajt thev have requested me confidentially to la/before the German government certain proofs of intolerance and to so'i$t

Russian occupation. The inissionarw« appealed to Germany because America policy of non-intefering in European fairs precludes her taking up the qu tion by diplomacy.

RUSSIA'S ULTIMATUM.

London,(„Octcber. 2}.-T-A dispat RassiaJjffi-.-Pre to the porte an ultimatum, oil instance the following points:

First— A six weeks armistice, unconditionally. Second—Administrative autonomy for Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Third—The execution of reforms under commissioners named by the great powers, and to be protected by an armed foreign force. A BLOODY BATTLE—THE TURKS THE

VICTORS.

London, Octoher 23.—The Standard's dispatch from Belgrade savs the Turkish forces in Servia resumed the offensive Thursday, and a battle began which lasted three days. It consisted of two distinct operations, one in froniof Saitschar and the other on positions commanding Deligrrd. In the latter movement thfi Turks captured on Thuasday thirteen redoubts, great quantities of arms and many prisoners. The fight was long and bloody. The Turks continued to advance, and on Saturday there was further fighting. Hafiz and Abdul Pasha opened fire before junis and Fezli Pasha shelled Alexinatz. The Servian forces at Djunis under Horvatovick were routed with great loss. There are fears that Djunis which is the key to the road throngh Morava Valloy will fall into the hands of the Turks. The Times despateh fr Belgrade, reports that in the fight near Sailschar, the Turks gained the day, having captured Bolevatz. Should the Turks make good their double advance on Paratkin, the Russo-Servian army wouli' be placed in a serious position. The affair is not yet decided.

A MONTENEGRO VICTORYLondon, October 22.—A dispatch from Rauusa says: Medun has capitulated to the Montenegrins, who hold the Turkish garrison of four hundred men as prisoners of war. The Montenegrins have also taken the guns and ammunition »f the Turks.

RAILROAD ACCIDENl-

New York Oct. 25.—The train which left Jersey City yesterday evening on the Central R. R., was heavily laden with passengers from New York, who had been delayed by the strike of the railroad engineers and firemen this side of Somerville. The train went off the track and the engine was tnrned upon its side. Two coaches were piled upon the loco- "fetly

motive and three other coaches were ordered to fire »kmwn from the track. Three passen- ,.u.. thrown from the track, Three passes ers were taken out of the wreck dead Jve others were seriously wounded, and nine others slightly.

To the votirs of Vigo county: The democratic central committee of Vigo county deem this an approbate occasion to congratulate the people of this county and the state upon the success of the democratic state and county tickets at the October election.

Indiana was chosen by the leadsr of Grantism throughout the Union S'ates as a chosen field of battle. It was alleged by the republicans, and accepted as true by the democracy, that onr Indiana election for government and state officers would have an important bearing, perhaps a controling effect upon he presi'Jeitial electi--.i in mis a well as tother states. The leaders of Grantism were so well satisfied of this that they the most extraordinary eflfortse\*er known in a political canvass.

doctrine that was held by the red republicans of France, during the reign of terror under Robespierre who in the name of liberty deluged France in human blood.

The idea that "There must be but one will and that will must be promulgated, by the republican party" should alaim all lovers of universal libei ty: There can be no absolute unit in a republican government, whether it be vested in one man or one party.

Who ever heard of st. ikes and men out of employment, of unions to protect labor, under democratic rule

For three long years the people have groaned under a terrible financial crisis and still the party in power has given no relief. Their incompetency is evident and the tendency to the centralization of capital and power is too plain to be longer doubted. Hence it behooves ever voter who would preserve the government to the people, to aid in making a change, for there is no relief to be obtained front the party in power. It was a matter of almost universal congralulation among men "of aH parties that the Octobftr election was one of the fairest and most peaceable electiens ever held in this county.

Ohio's general Verdict of the people is not at all disturbed by the contest of the election lately b' gun by the Grant cliquc in this county.

The investigation, if persisted in, will rebound upon the party contesting. Let not the contest divide the attention of the democracy from the Presidential election.

No doubt this was one of the objects of the contest. But it will not ^icceed. It is only another specimen of "the method of Grantism," and will only resound to the agonies of the authors. Let the Walc»tt purchase, and the attempt to control elections by the bayonet be a warning to all.
