Sufferings of the Crew of the Campadre at
Bluff Harbor.
• A London cable 8a/yrs : A despatch from
Auckland, N. Z., reports that the barque
Compadre, bound from Calcutta to
recently caught fire astern. After an inef-
fectual effort to subdue the flames, the cap-
tain.steered for Bluff Harbor, a seaport of
the Province of Otaga, N. Z. He had.suc-
ceeded in bringing his vessel to. the mouth
of the harbor, when a tremendous hurricane
'overtook her. The exhausted crew spent
their last energies in attempting to' keep
down the raging fire, and , at the same, time
force the unf&tunate barque to' face the
wind and seas which beat upon and rushed
over her. It was, however, to no avail.
After a desperate struggle with the oppos-
ing, elements the barque was driven upon
the rocks. After incredible sufferings the
crew of the barque succeeded in swinuning
ashore. Here the miserable men wee
forced to spend 103 days and nights, suffer-
ing the extremest wretchedness of exposure
and starvation. On the 104th day of their
being cast away, their distress' signals were
seen by a passing • sealing vessel, and the
sorely tried sailors were taken off in safety,
bet in a distressing condition of weakness
and ,emaciation. During their enforced
stay ion the island one of their number wan -
de! -ed into the bush and was never' heard of
again. It is supposed that suffering dros-e
the man mad.
The two Jinrlkisha men who came to the
Czarowitz's rescue have, besides receiving
decorations and pensions from their own
Government, been each given a gold medal,
82,500 cash and a life pension of 81,000 a
year by Russia. They will not have to
propelefinrikishas for a living after this.

The Servia's Passengers Dissatisfied With
the Treatment Given Them.
A New York. despatch says: The disabled
steamer Servia was brought up to her dock
from her anchorage off Bedloe's Island this
morning. The actral damage done cannot
'be definitely ascertained until a survey is
made. The crank -pin did not fly to pieces,
but merely cracked, and the engines were
stopped at once. Fifteen of the Servia's
passengers sailed on the City of New York
this morning. Of this number was Prince
George of Greece. Many complaints are
made by the passengers ,of their treatment
by the Cunard officials here. It is claimed

until -
cable instructions arrive from the other side.
One passenger from Iowa said the company's
treatment was shameful. He said passengers
were detained on board and not permitted
to remove their baggage to catch trains to,
day. Great bonuses were paid for immedi-
ate passage on the other steamers of the
line. Fifty school teachers. because of the
great extra 'expense, are likely to give u

- A V
Confesses to a Brutal Crime Committed
Nine Years Ago.'
A Lancaster, Wise despatch says: Lan-
caster people were startled this morning
When they learned that the aged mother of
Louis Sisley had on hertath-bed confessed
to the murder of her son's' wife nine years
ago. In 1882 Louis Sisley was married to
Miss BecIford. The second night after the
wedding the dead body of the young bride
perforated with bullet holes Was kimdlying
in a pool of blood in a wheat field near the
house. The Murdered woman's husband
was arrested, and held to the Circuit Court
after an examination lasting 28 days, but
the case was never brought to trial. When
Convinced thatdeath was near Mrs. Sisley
confessed to the doctors that in a quarrel
over some Matter that angered her terribly
she seized her son's revolver and emptied
the chambers into her daughter -in -laves
body. She carried the body into the .field,
and laid the pistol beside it, to give theidea
of suicide. She said her son was aware of
her guilt, but remained silent,. refused
to five with her,' however.

A Movement on Foot to Organize a Mexican
Filibustering Epedition,
A Washington despatch says: A letter
has been received' by a Government official
. here, which appears to give color to the
report that a revoletionary movement is
tiging fomented in 'Mexico. The writer
'says that a maxi calling himself Capt.
Annett has been engaged in Norfolk, Va.,
in shipping men,* a treasure hunt in
Mexican waters. - The captain said he
wanted only • seventy-five men, but the
writer is informed that he has Shipped over
200. Moreover, he has learned that the
vessel whis is to carry the party is now
secretly engaged in taking aboard a large
quantity of arms and ammunition at a
port on Long Island sound. The writer
says he does not went to get himself into
trouble, , and, above all, does not want to
fight, and, although he !hies Signed to goon
the expedition, he will withdraw if there
ie. any illegal act in contemplation. The
officials here are not disposed to attach
much importance to the communication, as
they believe that a filibustering expedition
would be conducted with more secrecy
than appears to be shown' in this case.
They are also puzzled to guess the destina-
tion of the party; if it should be of warlike
intent ; bt, the chances are even that it is
meant to aid a revolution in either Hayti
or Mexico.

nowever, -ery nom evidence too detailed
and minute to, enter upon here, that the
forum Stood upon the oldest part of Roman
London, viz., south of Corn):ilI and east of
the Mansion House. It is b . no means
certain that there was a forum. But an in-
scribed tile seems to show that the seat of
government of the province was at London.
Those, llowever'who consider the later
importance of Roman London, can hardly
believe that it had no -public buildings. At
first an insignificant town, although a port
of some trade, for more than two centuries
it'controlled the exports and imports of the
entire island. Its wharves were filled with
animation, its harbor with ships of burden.
All the authorities point to London as a
centre of commercial activity.

South Britain remained for centuries, under
