The Nahum Chapin, Captain Arel, sailed from Hampton Roads on Jan. 17, for Boston. A dispatch received from Lone Hill life saving station says that no communication had been effected with the wrecked schooner up to 8 o'clock. Quogue Is situated about thirty-five miles east of Fire Island, and It Is the first point where the ocean touches the main land beyond the Great South bay. Saw Nine Men In the lUgglng. The Jahum Chapin was a three masted schooner, built at Rockland, Me., In 1882. She registered and was beam, and owned by Cobb. Wright & Co. Quogue life saving station reports that six men were seen clinging to the foremast rig- cine and three others on the Jlbboom. As the vessel went to pieces, all hands were carried into the sea and presuma bly drowned. Owing to the ueavy surf and the strong wind the crew were una ble to launch the lifeboat to render as sistance. The name of the schooner was learned from pieces of wreckage which were washed up on the beach. Names of the Victims. The crew of the schooner, nine in number, were shipped at Boston last November. The names are as follows: E. E. Arel, captain. Maiden, Mass.; A. E. Davis, first mate, Maiden, Mass.; L. A. Maddock, second mate, Cam bridge, Mass.; Seamen John Neioer, Albert Lowe, E. O. Anderson, Victor Strachen, Oscar Oscar, and Antonio Agoymich. The residences of the latter are not known.

Both were par tially insured. WHKCK. BOOKS FOR MICHIGAN SCHOOLS.3 ttlll Introduced to Make Them I'nlforia Throughout the State. Lansing Mich., Jan. 22. There was very little business of Importance trans acted in cither branch of the legislature Wednesday. The relations of the two houses being somewhat strained In ref erence to the long adjournment ques tion, Independent action was taken In making arrangements for the a'-isence of the several visiting committees. The house took up the senate concurrent resolution, fixing the date of final ad journment for April 23, but refused to concur and the matter went on the ta ble. The most Important bills Introduced were: For the introduction of fans and blowers In shops for the protection of worklngmen; making an appropriation of $176,000 for the soldiers' home; creat ing a board of commissioners to estab lish a uniform text book system; a phy slcian and surgeons' registration bill: establishing permanent quarters for the Michigan G.

She was death Dy electrocution for murder in tha first degree; a home rule bill for cities: bringing all railroads operating north of parallel 44 of latitude under the gen eral law for taxation purposes. The uniform text book bill introduced Wednesday Is likely to be one of the most important of the session. It makes the state board of education a board of commissioners to procure ttie compua tion and make a selection of books for use In the primary and common schools, to be non-partisan and non-sectarian, and in size and quality equal to the standard books now in use. The board is authorized to advertise for the pe rlod of three weeks in New York. Phil adelDhla. Chicago.

Fla., Jan. 22. A bottle was picked up on South Beach, seven milea below here, Thursday, which con tained a message stating that the bark Ladras had foundered at sea Jan. 15. The message was written on several small sheets of paper and was signed by Captain Gonzales. It was a lo, of the vessel from the time she left port until she foundered. According to the message the Ladras left Boston Jan. 3 in command of Cap tain Gonzales and manned by a crew .civo men. Jan. 12 the vessel sprang a leak but the carpenter man aged to partially stop the Influx of water. Jan. 14, however, the water be gan to pour into the hold In great vol ume. The pumps were manned and the men worked day and night but at noon. Jan. 15 it was apparent that the vessel was doomed. The captain anu crew then took to the boats and had hardly got clear of the vessel when she went down. The message con cludes: . "We have little food and water and must perish unless soon picked up." It Is believed by seamen here that the bark went down during the gala which prevailed off the Florida coast last week. The fear is aiso expresseu that the boats with the crew swamped In the same gale. Wreck of the Alvena. New York .Jan. 22.

Enetnlea at Ranch uelo. Key West, Fla., Jan. 22. Ranchuelo, In Santa Clara province, garrisoned by 500 Spaniards, was surprised a few days ago by a Cuban force under Major Gerio, with 300 men. One fort was capt ured before the garrison naa nine i rally and the other surrendered. The Cubans began sacking -the town but the Spaniards soon received re-enforcements and drove off all the Insurgents except about fifty, who narricaa.-u themselves in the stone church. The Spaniards, finding they could not lane It by storm, managed to mine one end and blew it up, killing twenty-five Cu bans. The Insurgents returned with an increased force and routed the bpanisn. More than seventy-five Spaniards are said to have been killed and tnirty- elght taken prisoners. Major ueno was wounded in the head. several op;iuau officers were killed. The Cubans capt ured 10 stands of arms ana some pro visions. Three of their prisoners, who were Cuban born, were hanged. Man and Horses Killed. Appleton, w,s Jan- 22.

When the Senate Meets In March There Will He at Leaat Two Seata on the Dem ocratic Side Unfilled Republicans Will Then Have Oue-llalf the Entire Mem- berahip Long Fight lu Pronpect in South Dakota. Washington. Jan. 22. The re-election of Senator Prlchard and the improved prospects of the election of a Republi can senator In Kentucky, seem likely to reduce materially the complication re garding the Republican control of the senate, and may result In their having an absolute majority in that body. Prltchard's election insures the Repub licans forty-three votes in the senate, and the election of a Republican from Kentucky, which now seems probable, would bring their total vote up to for ty-four. With all the seats filled, there vould be ninety members of the senate. nd the Republicans would lack one of a suincjent numoer io me ociiaiv and clve the vice president the decld- lne vote: but the indications are tnai. when the senate meets, in March, there will be at least two seats unfilled, and both of those on the Democratic side. The complication in Delaware makes It oulte apparent that none of the three claimants for the seat belonging to that state, and now vacant, will be recog nized or admitted to a seat without at loaet a thnrnnph Investigation Of tne credentials of the rival claimants. Dupont Still a Claimant. tmo the rmorratlc free silver claimant, who was chosen by the Dem nrrats of the legislature, and AaaicKs, uhn U to rome as the claimant from the body organized by the Republicans or that state. Mr. Dupont still stands in the attitude of a claimant for the seat and a. strone effort will be made to re- onen his case. This makes It pronaoie that the Delaware seat will remain va rant for weeks, and probably monins, as it. has done during all of the present rnntrresH. The Florida seat is also likely to be vacant until the legislature in that Rtate. which meets in April, Senator Call. With two spnts vacant, leaving but eighty elrrht men In the senate, the Republlc- ..nth fnrtv.fnur men. would have nm'iwlv one-half of the erie member Ghm and the vice president would cast the deciding vote In case oi a ue. signs are apparently brightening so far as Republican control of the senate Is concerned. Advices from uin ua Indicate that there Is a long fight in prospect there. The Topullsts have sixty-one votes, and a two-thirds rule as to caucus nomination. This would re quire forty-two votes to nominate, and as Senator Kyle has not been able to come neater than eighteen votes of timber, and has lost steadily dur ing the last day or two, it seems prob able that he will not be elected to suc ceed himself. Onitoftition to Kyle. nn familiar with the situation in South Dakota say that the opposition to Kyle Is due to the fact that ne voiea ior the Wilson bill. Including the free wool schedules. The Populists of South Da kota are generally protectionists, and the prediction is made that whoever Is elected to succeed Kyle will certainly vote for the Republican tariff bill, un less such silver complications arise as to prevent it. which is not now consid ered probable. Reports from Utah in dicate that there are still uncertainties as to the result In the senatorial i.bhv there, and it is probable that while an extreme silver man will be elected he will be a protectionist. Opinions differ as to the prospective result in Idaho, Senator Dubois' friends still expressing confidence in his re-election. Advices from the state of Washington show great uncertainty as to the result there, .v, nr,ninn belne expressed that Sen ator Squires' efforts to succeed himself will hardly be successful. The last few days have filled a good many blanks In motor of the United States senate, and there are now about a half a dozen cases In which there is any uou.-i to the membership of the next senate.

Senator Turpie ana oin- ers who openly opposed tne vui. rew that they are making a losing fight, and their effort is to delay the bill by post poning action on It from day to day. Only six weeks yet remain of the Fifty- fourth congress, and if the tning m worked right the opposition may suc ceed in holding the bill In abeyance. Candidate for Public Printer. Wastlngton, Jan. 22. Joseph Deutch, of a Chicago firm of engravers, w here this week booming his candidacy for the office of public printer. He has strong influences inside of the Republic an national committee at work in nis interest. He will exploit his candidacy as a feature of the Inaugural parade. Approved by the President.

Daron Fava Still In Washington. Washington. Jan. 22.-Baron Fava. the Italian ambassador, was among urptarv Olney's callers Thursday at the state department, to me surprise of some officials who supposed that the ambassador had sailed for Europe last week. As a matter of fact, while he has secured leave of absence from his government with permission to return to Italy with the remains of his son. he has been prevented from availing him self of the privilege by an unexpected press of business. Hence he has come to Washington from New York and ta- Messina and when at Gibraltar her cap tain reported having on boara a caru of fruit for this port. Under ordinary conditions she should have maae tn voyage In fifteen days. Twenty-one days have elapsed and she has not yet been sighted at Cape Henry. The circumstances, taken in connec tion with the fact that a coal bargi named J. J. Ward is reported to have put in at Newport News the other day from Philadelphia with a load of arms and ammunition which is said to have been reshlpped on a schooner In Hamp ton Roads, leads to the opinion that the Laurada waited at a point outside until the schooner caroe out. after which the cargo was transferred to tho steamer, which it is now thought is on -Its way to Cuba. It will be recalled that the captain of the Laurada re cently threatened to touch at Valencia. Spain. In defiance of the warnings of the Spanish authorities and that h- wai only i revented from doing so by the intervention of the American cona'il. who persuaded him to change his ralad.
