Port Town and (Wash.); 7th December. The British tramp steamship Gorsedd, from Singapore via Japan, came into port to day, after an exceptionally stormy passage of thirty three days from the last part.

For three days, commencing November 14th, the neas opened up like huge couyons and the gale blew at an estimated speed of ninety miles an hour. Being light and bigha out of the water the Gorsedd was tomed about Eke a cockleshell, her machinery began working badly, and before the stort fully hated fifty. thras boiler tntes had exploded. The hatoles had been battered and notwithstanding that the deck was thirty feet above the sea level, the waves swept the vessel from stem to stern, and many stories are now being told by the row of Barrow escapes from being carried overboard.
THE ABRANTEE EXPEDITION,
London, 7th December. The ccart newstion have contiused booring the departure of Prince Henry of Battenburg; husband of Prince Bostrice, for the Gold Coast of Afrion, in order to take part in the Ashanter picnic," so culled. The anwspapers have been printing details of the alleged acid equipment and of the luxuries which were to mark the Prince's journey. All this called fox a good deal of ridicule from the Radicals and others until finally the ory became so lend and pro- longod that there was a sodden and unexpected change made in the programme and a somi. official statement was issued last vight that the Prince is going to the Gold Coast simply in the Aar capacity as the other officers of the British army who are to take part in the expedition.
In spite of the sallies of the detachments supplied to the expeditionary corps by the various regiments, there has been a good deal of difflon'ty in finding the xon needed, aul in Būmio casse bandsmen, signal corps men, and ovon oflers servants have been taken. The popularity of the expedition is due to the fact that there is such a mixture of the forces and that they are commanded by officers whom they bave not seen, much less servol under.
It is admitted that there is not a single battalion in Eugland really fit for this sorrice, ned therefore the second battalion of tho Yorkshire Regiment, now on its way home from Adou, is to be transhipped at Gibraltar and the soldiere sent dirent to Cape Coast Castle for Ashoutoo, in spite of the fact that they have been away from Faglad for about fifteen years. The whole trouble down to be due to the short service system.
The Bathare with Prince Victor of Schles wig-Holstein on board, is already well on hor way to the court, as is the Angola, which carried the first contingent of troops. The Loando has also railed with stores and some offers and the field hospital corps. Over 300 tons of war ma- terial and provisions, including thirteen tons of cartridges and any amount of ammunition for the mountain and Maxim guns, together with a large supply of war rockets, are alivady on their way to the Gold Coast.
Faure's friends assort that he has performed noble notion. They say he enghrt to feel proud of it, and if oxanot injure him in his capacity as President, since the Embassadors. were apprised of the matter at the time of bis accession. On the other hand, Faure's enemies. declare it is impossible that the head of the state should have a shur on his family, and the
it is the campaign that is now being strenuously waged by the Socialias and Gen servatives, as well as by those deputies who lare personal reasons for dreading the resulta of the investigations about to be made into Southern Railway and Algerian phosphate scandals.
The outcome of the situation it is impossible to foretell. All depends upon the turn takan by public opinion. It is difficult to hold the President of the Republic responsible in 1895 for a crime committed by another man in 1841, but it is also difficult to let such a matter drop without notice.being taken of it. Many por sons believe in the faminenco of a Presidential crisis.
