STEAMER BURNT.-
CREW'S TERRIBLE PLIGHT,
THRILING STORY OF HERDISM AND DEATH.
A sempational story was told by the survivors of the Danish steamer Klampenborg, who were brught into the Tyne yesterday by the Norwegian steamer Arena, says the Morning Leader of 4th Sept.
They numbered 20 all told, and comprised the captain and 13 bands, the captain's wife, three young children and a maid, and the chief engineer's wife. They had been picked up on Tuesday in open boats about 250 miles east of the Tyne, their ship having been destroyed by fire.
Of the boats which let the Klampenborg one, containing six hands, is missing; the third engineer was fata ly burned, and the second engineer, on the arrival of the Arconay was removed to hospital, suffering from 'serious' burns.
THE SURVIVORS' STORY.
The survivors, who were seen by a Leader correspondent, gave in broken English a dis- tressing narrative of the experiences: The Klampenborg, which is a regular Tyne trader, sailed from Blyth with a cargo of coal on Saturday moming bound for Cronstadt::.- [*・・ On Sundary afternoon the thild engineer, who was on duty, raised an alarm of fire in the engine room. He was immediately joined by the second engineer, but before the outbreak could be subdued the fl mes reached a tank filled with petroleum oil,
HEROIC RESCUES, '
The third engineer was shockingly burned, and must have perished on the spot but for the courage of the second engineer, who rushed through the flames and smoke and dragged him to the fool of the ladder. In doing so, his rescuer was badly burned about the hands, face, and legsinkişa

The leaders of these are not the so-called mischief-mongers, but highly cultured and respectable men of the highest order that could command respect from any civilized nation it happened to deal with them-¡ several of them have occupied seats in your Imperial Parliament and Imperial and Local ruling councils of India from time to time and worked as the peers of the greatest British statesmen and won their admiration and approbation.

These so-called wild critics are the outcome of the real English education initiated by the ancient statesmen, who were more reasonable, more far-sighted and mare prudent and were able to distinguish between a solid and sandy foundation of their alien rule than those of the present day, who are likely to be hypnotized by the sycophants and sweet-talkers and forget the maxim that the truth is always better and unpalatable but if distinguished and swallowed it proves nothing but a panances.

His Lordship said it would be necessary to consider the position of the parties under Chi. nese marriage laws, It was sometimes said that legally a Chinaman, could have only one wife, and that all others were merely concubines. He thought, in view of the decisions which had been pronounced in this Court and he had nothing else to go upon that he must say that a Chinaman could have more than one wife His Lordship quoted a decision of Sir Benson Maxwell, where he pointed out that the inferior The boa's lay under the lee of the burning wives should be regarded as wives, since all go steamer throughout the whole of Sunday night, through a certain form of espousal.

If Japan came into possession of the Philippines by friendly arrangement with the United States and Great Britain, she might well hand over to the. British the island of Palawan and the Sulu Archipelago, both of which groups are politically much more nearly related to Borneo than to the rest of the Philippines. If the United States is to exact and to compel respect for the Monroe Doctrine in the New World, she should not annex territory on a large scale in the Old World. The Japanese Empire deserves so well of the world that it might well be assisted to extend in all those directions where it has claims of racial affinity. It should be allowed to include Korea and Philippine Islands within its Imperial limits, as well as the already-acquir ed island of Formosa and the intervening island chains.

Writing to the Journal of Tropical Medicine, Dr. James Cantlie saysAttention had been lately drawn to the fact that a fowl, a duck and' a quail had been found suffering from plague in the Hongkong market. The information, along with the results of the experimental feed-, ing of animals in Hongkong with plague mterlul by Professor W. J. Simpson and Dr. Hunter, pointed to a very serious state of affairs. The experiments referred to proyed that by feeding animals with food in which plague, bacilli were present, such animal as fowls, ducks geese, turkeys, pigeons, sheer, pigs, buffaloj calves, &c., all took plague. The most in teresting feature, however, of the experiments is that most of these animals may have plague upon them without any symptom of the disease. The birds' temperature may be 106 or 107, and the pig's temperature may be 104"; and yet the animal will take its food and get about as if nothing alled it. The infected animal sheds pague bacilli from its skin, its breath, by the urine and by the faces, in fact from every excretory organ plague bacilli being scattered broadcast Seeing also that in many Eastern abodes (as in many Western for that matter), the domestic animals, divell beneath the same roof and often I also those held on account of loans, advances, VICTORIA PRECEPTORY and the same apartment, this apartment, becomes and find them all to be in accordance with focus of infection In this way, no doubt, explained the fact that plague atincka persons" in "one For
