Philadelphia, March 16.»-Tha latest 11spatobas from the Delaware Breakwater confirm the early reports of damage to shipping and loss of life. It Is said that twenty-two persons were drowned or frozen. Vessels were sank or damaged, and 'many were stranded on the coast and caiuut Lu floated for some time. The crews suffer*! greatly, many of them being badly frostbitten and deprived of both food and drink. When the steamboat pier at Lewes parted eleven men who had escaped from the vessels which tank were out off from all oflmnumtoatkm with those on shore. They were on the extreme end of the pier, where they ranained for twenty-three hours, when they were Anally rescued. They were almost dead, and had to be lifted into the boats which put oat from shore. Mugger Causes Critical Comment, London, March 12.—The long talked of fight between Sullivan gad Mitchell -took place at Creil; near Cbaatilly, France, on Saturday, and was a "contest" which di»- gusted the forty-one (ports who witnessed It The affair took place in a pelting rain, and for over three hour* Mitchell faced Ma big Antagonist, and succeeded in tiring Bullivan by the active manner in.Which he danced around the ring to avoid punishment Although Bullivan swoceedad in knocking the Englishman down several times, be by no means succeeded in knocking htm oat, and thus the farcial affair con tinned for thirtynine round*, until finally the referee, Mr. Angle, a London stock broker, at the earnest solicitation of the spectators, was glad to declare the "fight" a draw. Mitchell waa considerably bruised co the body, his Mt eye closing. Sullivan was also mnch bruised on the body and his mouth much punished. Shortly after leaving the ring Bullivan, Mitchell and thirty spectators were arrested by mounted gendarmes, and conveyed to Senlis. The party were panic stricken, but their manifest desire to get away quickly vanished when the officer commanding the gendarmes ordered his men. to shoot the first man who attempted to escape. One man disregarded thig warning, but his flight was suddenly checked by a shot fired over his head, and he promptly surrendered. Sullivan and Mitchell were handcuffed, and all were locked up, though the spectators were subsequently released. Sullivan and Mitchell, however, were held for a hearing. AND BUSINESS IS EESUMED. Beaux, March 18.—The authorities seemed Washihgtok, March 12.—In an interview with a United Press reporter last evening Mi Randall made the following explanation concerning the bill which he will introduce in the house to-day: The bill repeals the entire rewrote tax an tolnoco and on fruit brandies. It also repeals the license tax on wholesale and retail liquor dealers, leaving these, aa recommended by JaCbraoo, so that "the state authorities might adopt them." It makes alcohol used in the arts free, and reduces the tax on whisky to fifty cents per gallon. On the tariff the bill is a careful and complete revision of the whole tariff system. - It carries to the free list a large, number of articles now paying duties, and which enter into consumption, either as raw material or otherwise, and in the production of which there is no injurious competition between this and other countries. utterly unable, yesterday, to cope with the crowds that came from all parte of Europe to take a last look at the dead Em- I peror.

Nxw Britain, Conn., via Boston, March 10.—The gisat storm appears to have been most severe in Connecticut within a radius of fifteen or twenty miles of this plooo. This city has been completely isolated. All travel if closed to the west, and the snow is in drifts twenty-five deep in this city. The factories are running as usual, and traffic is resumed on a few of the principal streets, but for the most part the city is engaged in shoveling out On Camp street the snow is twenty, three feet deep, and on Kensington forty feet —higher than some of the houses. The high hills on either side of the town are bare. Individual experiences are thrilling and pathetic. The storm was intense early Monday forenoon, and the few children who ventured to school were sent home. A party of six children started from the lop of Broad street to attend school Monday morning. Two were picked up at the Stanley works almost frozen to death. The others are still missing. Mian Termay, one of the teachers, and her assistant dared not venture out They were left in the schoolhouse for thirty-six hours without food, their friends supposing them safe. Telegraph Haas. Christina Beikel, frosen to death on the corner of Broadway and Fulton street Jfgw Tout, March 18.—The billiard which struck this city early Monday morning, resulting in the ponderous now blockade which for three day* completely isolated the metropolis from the rest of the world—on this side of the ocean—has now passed into history, and the city has once more resumed its normal condition, while traffic to all points it almost entirely resumed. The scenes here during the three days that we were practically a world by ourselves were peculiarly interesting and exciting. The armies of workers residing in the suburbs who had managed to reach the city Monday rooming found it impossible to return to their homes, and the great city was unable to provide them with sleeping accommodations. Therefore banks, manufacturing establishments, stores, freight houses and barrooms were converted into temporary lodging houses, and here the armies stayed during the nights, spending their waking hours in the saloons—which, by the way, had a monopoly of business during the blockade. The hotels were unable to supply the demands made upon them, and in many instances premiums of tSb and (SO were Thomas Gleam, died from exposure." John McMabon, died from exposure. During the night twenty-eight barks and schooners Were driven ashore and forced above high water mark on the beach. for one year's rent of his entire dwelling. George D. Barrymore, hop merchant, found dead in a snow drift at Fifty-third street and Seventh avenue. . A two masted schooner came up during the gale, with all bands on the i&inmast While near the pier the wind increased and started the mainmast from its braces. The change was so great that the mast tottered and fell, and the men, with two exceptions, lashed themselves to the foremast. Two of the crew, who were unable to extricate themselves, in time from the wreckage, were washed overboard and drowiied. The others were rescued from their dangerous situations by the life saving crew. Great disappointment was felt at the news v. that the present emperor had been forbidden , to attend the funeral. He cannot talk, and with his throat exposed by the recent opera' tion it would have been suicidal for him to ' have exposed himself to the bitterly cold weather. Bismarck's physician also forbade him to go out to-day. The iron chancellor ' wis to have walked arm in arm with Von I Moltke, but the field marshal walked alone. He is nearly 90 years of age, and be, too, was advised not to expose himself to the weather, but he laughed the advice to scorn and announced that nothing would prevent his following to the gravo the master ha served so long and faithfully. The emperor's message yesterday, written by his own hand to King Humbert, referring to their meeting at San Pier d'Arena, says: "When thou lost thy father I went to thee and took part in thy grief and the grief of thy people. Now that I am bowed down by misfortune thou comust to me. Ip this I see another bond that will bind our dynasties together."These words from the invalid Emperor are sagerly read and pored over by the people here. Peter Conkling, overcome by tbn cold and dropped dead. Thomas Gleason, a war veteran, who was picked up unoonscious, died at the polioe station. In the revision of the tariff the aim hat been intelligently to apply consistent principles to all branches of industry, and in so doing our industrial system has been considered as a whole, and differing from other industrial systems in the important fact that the labor in this country receives* larger share of the annual products of labor and capital combined than in any other country. This important advantage to the labor interests of Uie United States the bill aims to tawserve throughout, while at the same • Una, "in fairness to all interests," as stated in the Chicago platform, "to nduoe and equalise" the duties on imports. The death of Robert H. Masterson st Mount Vernon, while directly due to heart disease, is said to have been indirectly caused by exposure to the storm. Alexander Bennett, forman of the nickel plating department of the Singer fiictory, started at noon Monday from the works, accompanied by Charles Lee and James Marshall, to go to their homes on Staten Island. They breasted the storm and at 12 o'clock reached Arnold's boat house at the Chancellor dock, where their boat was moored. Arnold tried to dissuade them from their voyage, but they laughed at his fears and left An unknown tugboat with a barge in tow sank with all hands off the Hen and Chickens shoals. The tug Thomas Crawford crashed into the pier and carried away her houses and decks. She foundered shortly after, and her engineer and fireman lost their lives. The meat] g—by courtesy called a fight— has been widely and loudly discussed to-day. Hundreds of men who were led by his wonderful physique, grand ion air and boastful words to lay their money on Sullivan, now look at him through the small end of the telescope, and the fact is as plain as the sun at noonday that he can never again hold up hia head in London without the stimulation of gall in a greater quantity than the ordinary human body can contain. Tis a pity that it should be said, but it is the almost unanimous opinion among all classes that the American ' 'champion of champions" is now relegated to the ranks of ordinary "pngs," and must henceforth seek engagements, not on his own terms, but upon the terms stipulated of such men as may think it worth while to figlit him. The principles applied to the revision of the tariff in this bill are that the difference in cost of producing commodities in this and other countries, where there is no climatic or other natural causes why they cannot be produced abundantly in this country, has been studied and everywhere adhered to as the cardinal principle to be enforced in any revision of the tariff. Tons of Coal Lost. Capt. Townsend, offthe wrecking schooner Tamesi, which fonndered near the Delaware Breakwater on Sunday night, says: "We did not have the faintest idea we were going to have a storm until it came right down on us. The snow almost blinded and paralyzed us, so that when the gale arrived we were a must unable to make any effort to get out Well, we finally got steam up, and as we were abput moving, the Simpson ran into-us and cut us in the center. We were in a sinking condition, and I shouted to my men to jump' on board the pier. They all landed safely. While I was climbing on the piling the tug went down. I saw the captain and his wife and heard her last cry. The mate and steward retained their senses and followed us. Then Capt. Kane and his crew took refuge on th3 pier, and that made eleven souls all told. I was in a position to see almost fverything that happened in the harbor, and I believe more than twenty persons were dronuedor lost their lives in the storm." Nothing was seen or heard of them until Wednesday morning, when Boatman Arnold ■aw a boat, bottom up, lying at the mouth of a creek on the Staten Island shore. An oar was found on the beach some distance awivy. Arnold instantly recognized the craft as Bennett's, and, returning to Eliza bethporf, gave the alarm. It was learned that neither of the men had reached home. Some of the factory employees organized a searching party, and, headed by Arnold, crossed tht sound and began to hunt the salt meadows for traces of the missing men. Pittsburg, Pa., March 16.—Navigation on the Ohio river is practically suspended by an almost unprecedented collision and wreck of loaded coal barges, eighteen in number, containing about 400,000 bushels of coal, valued at about (40,000, at the head of BrOwn'a Island, five miles above Bteubenville, O., Wednesday afternoon. The tow boat Ed Roberts, bound for Louisville, struck the sand bar at the head of the islaud, wrecking the forward boats in her tow. The tow boats Sam Clark and Eagle, following close behind, were unable to hold their fleets in check and crashed into the stranded fleet, piling barge upon barge in a tangled heap until the channel was completely blockaded by the debris. Part of the coal may be recovered in time of low water. The loss of coal on the rivers during the past few days has been enormous, and the agregate amounts to (75,000 to (80,- 000. The absence of loss of life is miraculous. ■jWBi HirvWWB H B In such a scheme all industries, of course, should stand on an equal footing, and in no .instance should the powers of government ti« used to elevate one above another. In other words our industrial system must be considered as a whole in w hich all who participate in it share its profits, whether they are engaged in one industry or another. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge, the crown princes of Austria and Denmark, Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, the Count of Flanders, Prince William of Wurtemberg, Gen. Billo, representing France, and eighteen minor princes called on the emperor yesterday and paid their respects. Three kings and seven crown princes followed the hearse oc foot They were the kings of Belgium, Roumania and Saxony, and the crown prinoen it England, Austria, Russia, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and SwedC4) The services at the cathedral were imposing in their simplicity. The genuine sorrow witnessed on every side at the loss of thergreai kaiser was, beyoud all question, such as will nover be repeated at the death of any European monarch now reigning, no matter what that potentate's present popularity with the populace may be. There was but one man in Europe who could evoke such symptoms of unmistakable grief, and he to-day was laid at rest among his illustrious ancestors. His many noble traits of character will be cherished by lovers of the FatherlaiM throughout the world, and the namo of Emperor William will be emblazoned on the pinnacle of the monument which Germany will erect to her dead rulers. Every fifty paces on Unter den Linden stood a candelabrum, four metres high, draped and wreathed with fir and surmounted by a cresset, containing a burning retinous compound. In front of many of the houses were displayed busts of the late emperor wreathed with corn Bowers. At the street crossings arches, hung with garlands, had been erected. It is ahnounced, but not officially, that the emperor will leave at the earliest possible moment for the Isle of Maigau, on the Rhine. There is no confidence here in the cheerful bulletins of the doctors. The informatioi filters down through the attendants and offl ciala at the palace that his majesty has suffered from cramps and suffocation. The dowager empress la also 111, and has not received the royal visitors to the palace. Yesterday disquieting rumors about Emperor Frederick's health continued to fly about. It was the main topic In the cafes and on the streets, where the people stood in vast crowds talking excitedly. The people exhibit curious sentiments toward Russia. The different stages of the journey of the czar's heir and the grand dukes of Russia were eagerly bulletined, and whenever the bulletins appeared the German crowds cheered vigorously for the czar. They hate the Russians, but the dying kaiser bade his son to be friendly to the ciar, and the populace has taken it upon its shoulders to voice the sentiments of its late idol. The Empress Augusta was unable to attend the funeral. In accordance with the wish of Empress Augufa, the late emperor's rooms will be left absolutely intact, just as when he lived in them. Nothing has yet been settled regarding Em peror Frederick's proposed visit to Wiesbaden. His cough and expectoration continues to decrease. He will take the oath of office privately at Charlottenbarg. About 4Dree miles from where the boat waa found they came upon the body of a man, who feebly moaned. Two other bodies were found near by covered with snow and loose hay. They were Bennett and Lee, frozen •tiff, and presented a ghastly appearance as they sat in a partly upright position against the haystack. Marshall was alive, and had burrowed a hole in the hay, into which the party crawled. He was picked up and carried to the nearest farmhouse, half a mile distant He died yesterday. One principle of great importance has been kept constantly in view, and that is that the line which marks the difference in cost oi producing commodities here and abroad—in other words, the line of fair competition—iC always and necessarily above the point oi maximum revenue. Consequently, to reduce the duties on any commodity below the lin* of difference in cost, whicn, as stated, is the line of even competition, until the line oi maximum revenue is passed, necessarily increases the revenues. On the contrary, to raise duties from the line of maximum revenue by lessening importations reduces the revenues. This principle has been kept in view throughout the bill in the adjustment of duties. The Sportsman expresses the opinion that Sullivan excels to a greater degree as a glove lighter on a board Btage, and bases its judgment on the fact that after the eighth round with Mitchell be ceased to be agile. The weatb *and the ague undoubtedly affected him, but still, when the fight was ended, "Jack wae as good as hia master." New Haven Mill tfJnder. The steamship Dessoug, from Savannah, arrived at this port Wednesday evening after a stormy passage. Capt. Askins, who was in command, was at the Maritime ex honge and stated that while off Cape Henlopen, bearing north, he saw about nine miles to the northwest a large vessel. She had suiik. He could see her yard and her foremast and trucks, which were painted white. She was apparently a bark. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning the pugilists were summoned into court, and upon the payment of $600 bail they were released from custody. Their case did not come up at Senlis, but at Chantilly, to .which place they wpre driven in a carriage. Magistrate Casefe of Senlis, is quite outspoken in regard to the release of the fighters. He says it is a very unwise step to release such men on bail, and appears to think the men were unwise, too, for if they had remained at Senlis the tribunal there would have probably only imposed a very light fine. After their release Sullivan and Mitchell took a train for Paris, and then boarded the night express for London. Sullivan was so drunk that he could not speak an intelligible word, and betides that he was very violent The action of the men In running away is considered more than unwise, as now the |000 reverts to the government, and they will be tried and sentenced by default In case they ever return to France they wilt be liable to be sentenced to prison for contempt Representatives of the London press visited Marlborough House yesterday and viewed the presents received by the Prince and Princess of Wales in commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. Prominent among the gifts is a magnificent toilet mirror heavily mounted and embossed with silver, a present from Mrs. W. Mackay. The much lauded silver model of the proposed imperial institute presented to his royal highness by the London corporation turns out to be not nearly so valuable as it purported to be. Its weightr(1,000 pounds), which was supposed to be due to a great extent to the quantity of silver it contained, is discovered to be chiefly in the marblo foundation upon which It rests, and as a remarkable production of art falls far short of the heralded descriptions which were given of it The Princess Alexandra was so delighted with the diamond and sapphire Becklace sent to her by the czar that immediately after receiving it she took it to her bedroom and remained there some time admiring it The necklace was not included among the presents exposed to view. With his proverbial parsimony, the Duke Of Edinburgh sent to his brother a very ordinary scarf pin and a ring which possibly oost him £2, and as if to emphasize his penurious disposition was made yesterday instead of Saturday, when the other gilts were coming in. New Haven, March 10.—The snow is three and a half feet on the level. Trains havt been stalled at nearly every station hereabouts. None but a few early accommodation trains on Monday morning have reached tills city since Sunday. The drifts in the cuts of the Consolidated road are monumental. Acting President Reed says that the company is doing its utmost to get the road open, but that it will be days before both trucks on the New York division are again in opera* tion. The road is not in such a bad conditio! north of here. There are rumors of many bodies being found in the snow, but these have not been verified. It looks now ba though no train could reach here from New York until late to-morrow. A BCBSB 0* BROADWAY. Near Newark, John Roe, aged 60 years, known as 'the crazy fisherman," was frozen to death near the pumping station. Jamec Murphy, who escaped from the City hospital, died from his injuries. Charles Baker, a locomotive engineer, was crushed under hia engime, which turned over in a snow drift on the Morris and Easex railroad near Washington. John Boyer, a boy, was frozen to dealt near Brookdale. A brother of John Duffy, oi Irvington, who went out with a team on Monday, has not been heard of since. Annie Mo Cune, of No. 216 Warren street, Newark, it missing. paid for a bed for a single night The hackmen, too, received fabulous prioes, charging at the rate of (1 per minute, it is said, for transporting snowbound wayfarers who were wealthy enough to meet their demands. They bad their own way in the matter, for even the elevated trains were brought to a standstill, strange M it may appear. The blockade on the elevated, however, was caused mainly by the extra demand made for transportation.To determine just where the line of difference in cost falls is, of course, in many* instances difficult; but it may be safely summed, when importations in any line oi commodities is large and increasing—and no good reason appearing why the tilings cannot as well be produced hare—that such duties are below the cost line, and that the advantage is with the foreign producer. If production in the same line is diminished or suspended altogether in this country, it becomes proof positive that the advantage is too great to be overcome without a readjustment of duties. It is believed that the barge Hazeltlne and her crew are lost. A letter was received at the Maritime exchange from Capt. Williamson, of the tug O. W. Prfde, Jr., which is now lying at the breakwater. The letter states that the barge ashore on the Hen and Chickens shoals is probably the Hazeltine, and that her captain and crew have not been seen. And to make matters worse, the suburban reddest* who were Imprisoned here were unable to communicate with their families, telegraph and telephone lines being completely prostrated. But In their dilemma everybody was good natured, and each person familiarly greeted the stranger with whom he came, in contact, and then they would fall into conversation as naturally as though they had known each other for a lifetime. As a result of this good nature the miniature mountains of mow bore many witty legends, as if to add to the general cheer. A few samples are riven: Henry Forrester, of Orange Valley, it thought to have been lost in the big drilt on the Brie railroad. John Allana, of Harrison; Richard Van Horn, of Arlington, and George Wayne are all misting. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, of No. 88 Hone street, Newark, is thought to have perished. L. B. Smalls, a tailor, of No. 650 Broad street, has been miaring since Monday. Provisions Running Low In Bridgeport. jumped The track. Bridgeport, Conn., March 10.—The streets are still impassable for teams and burse cars. Business is at a standstill and supplies of meat are running low, with no communication by rail to New Haven or New York. The Housa tonic road is open to Pittafield. Four engines on the New York road, while trying to get through a snow drift near Fairfield, became separated. Later three of them ran into the first, wrecking two of them. No one was killed. The damaged locomotives have been removed to Bridgeport Fatal Results of an Accident on the Erie Road at Sclo. In such cases—embracing however, but a few articles—there has been no hesitancy, in preparing this bill, to raise duties. so as to permit three industries to take their place abreast with, others in the country. Bradford, Fa., March 12.—Train No. S on the Erie railroad jumped the track at Solo. N. Y., early yesterday swralng, resulting In the death of one passenger and the maiming of twelve others. Four of the latter will die. The accident occurred opposite a brlok water tank near th« Scio depot. A bad joint derailed the locomotive, but the baggage oar, smoker and day coach clang to the rails. The two sleeperi on the rear and jumped from the track and were completely wrecked. The first of these plunged Into the depot platform and tore its way through the plank the entire length of the depot The second sleeper shot violently against the corner of the brick water tank, tearing it completely away. A wooden water tank, west of the depot, was (track and knocked off of its foundation. The sleepers were reduced to kindling wood, and a freight car standing on a side track was also wrecked by a coach striking the brick structure. The locomotive and three ooachea ran a quarter of a mile before stopping. The train men and passengers then returned to help the injured. Under the debris was found the bruised and bleeding form of Mrs. J. K. Bronrier, of Louisville, Ky. She was placed under treatment by physicians, but died soon after. Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Mo- Cann, of No. 18 West Twentieth street, New York, were probably fatally hurt L. H. Howe, of Boston, was badly hurt, and Lewis WeiflB, of Yasoo, Miss., bad his legs crushed and was injured Internally. Biz other passengers were hurt, but will recover.

The enginee ran into a monster drift below Hackettstown and jumped the tract Engineer Baker, of the first looomotive, was killed by his engine being overturned. Three engines, coupled together, were sent out on the New Jersey Central from Phillipetiurg to open the east bound track to Hampton. They struck a drift sixteen feet deep and the fireman of the first engine, John Haversall, was fatally injured by a mass of snow breaking open the front part of the cab and jamming him through the rear part of the tank. David Freyman, of Siegfried's Bridge, was struck by an engine and killed while shoveling snow on the New Jersey Central Three More Victims. Killed While Fighting Flame. THE RESUMPTION OF TRAFFIC. Milwaukee, March 16.—Yesterday morning the four-story building Nob. 174 and 170 West Water street suddenly burst into flames from basement to roof. The walls of the building fell in and several of the firemen were buried beneath the ruins. Two men were completely buried and could not be rescued. They are undoubtedly dead. Several other firemen were dangerously wounded. Herman Lechner, of Trucks, was so seriously hurt that he died from his injuries after being put in a patrol wagon. Jake Dahl, a truckman of No. 8, was very badly wounded and may die. John Coughlia, a fireman, was also badly bruised and suffered internal injuries, which rr y prove fatal. The names of those who were injured by the falling walls are: Thomas deary, a cab driver, out badly about the head by glass, injured seriously; Peter Vaughn, of Chemical Engine No. 1, crushed and arms and legs brokea Richard Langton, an engine driver, had both legs hrokeu. Clcary, Dahl and Langton will probably die. Total loss is *435,000. Trains .Moving wltb Their Usual Regu- larity In All Directions^ Philadelphia, March 16.—With the opening of the New York division of the Peunsyt vania railroad the connection between this city and outside points is fully restored The travel south and west is moving in its usual manner, and suburban and local travel is fully restored. The Reading is running trains in good shape. The calming down of the high wind has permitted the water in the river to regain its usual depth, and all danger of a water famine in this city or Camden has been removed. On the West Shore Road.| '■} Rondoot, N. Y., March 16.—Trains are moving on the West Shore and Walkill Valley railroads in this vicinity Along the Ulster and Delaware railroad the many cuts into wliith suow had drifted have been nearly cleared. A large force of . men is being employed shoveling. Yesterday afternoon three engines attached to a train which went out with shovelers jumped the track in the cut between West Hurley and Olive Branch. The engine in the lead was badly wrecked, and Fireman Thomas Emmet, living in this city, was badly cut, bruised and scalded, though not dangerously injured. Lives Lost on {he Chesapeake. Baltimore, March 16.—The storm which began on Sunday last did Immense damage to mull vessels on the Chesapeake bay and its tributaries. The news of the disasters is just beginning to come in. All along the bay the shores are strewn with wreckage, and stranded pungies and oyster schooners. The same condition of affairs is reported in the various rivers tributary to the bay. In the Pocomoke river there were a large number of small craft beached. Twenty-one boats of various build are reported aground, broken, dismasted, sunk and covered with ioe, though no liven were lost Eleven schooners are reported in the same plight near Fordswharf, Great Annemessex river.

Boulanger came to Paris on Feb. 24, again on March 3, and again on March 10, without permission from the war office.

Boulanger of bis command for breach of discipline in visiting Paris three times without permission. Gen. Boulanger sent a dispatch to Deputy Laguerre saying that if he went to Paris it was only in order to see his wife, who was seriously ill, and that Gen.

Philadelphia, March 16.»-Tha latest 11spatobas from the Delaware Breakwater confirm the early reports of damage to shipping and loss of life. It Is said that twenty-two persons were drowned or frozen. Vessels were sank or damaged, and 'many were stranded on the coast and caiuut Lu floated for some time. The crews suffer*! greatly, many of them being badly frostbitten and deprived of both food and drink. When the steamboat pier at Lewes parted eleven men who had escaped from the vessels which tank were out off from all oflmnumtoatkm with those on shore. They were on the extreme end of the pier, where they ranained for twenty-three hours, when they were Anally rescued. They were almost dead, and had to be lifted into the boats which put oat from shore.

Mitchell waa considerably bruised co the body, his Mt eye closing. Sullivan was also mnch bruised on the body and his mouth much punished. Shortly after leaving the ring Bullivan, Mitchell and thirty spectators were arrested by mounted gendarmes, and conveyed to Senlis. The party were panic stricken, but their manifest desire to get away quickly vanished when the officer commanding the gendarmes ordered his men. to shoot the first man who attempted to escape. One man disregarded thig warning, but his flight was suddenly checked by a shot fired over his head, and he promptly surrendered. Sullivan and Mitchell were handcuffed, and all were locked up, though the spectators were subsequently released. Sullivan and Mitchell, however, were held for a hearing. AND BUSINESS IS EESUMED. Beaux, March 18.—The authorities seemed Washihgtok, March 12.—In an interview with a United Press reporter last evening Mi Randall made the following explanation concerning the bill which he will introduce in the house to-day: The bill repeals the entire rewrote tax an tolnoco and on fruit brandies. It also repeals the license tax on wholesale and retail liquor dealers, leaving these, aa recommended by JaCbraoo, so that "the state authorities might adopt them." It makes alcohol used in the arts free, and reduces the tax on whisky to fifty cents per gallon. On the tariff the bill is a careful and complete revision of the whole tariff system. - It carries to the free list a large, number of articles now paying duties, and which enter into consumption, either as raw material or otherwise, and in the production of which there is no injurious competition between this and other countries. utterly unable, yesterday, to cope with the crowds that came from all parte of Europe to take a last look at the dead Em- I peror.

Nxw Britain, Conn., via Boston, March 10.—The gisat storm appears to have been most severe in Connecticut within a radius of fifteen or twenty miles of this plooo. This city has been completely isolated. All travel if closed to the west, and the snow is in drifts twenty-five deep in this city. The factories are running as usual, and traffic is resumed on a few of the principal streets, but for the most part the city is engaged in shoveling out On Camp street the snow is twenty, three feet deep, and on Kensington forty feet —higher than some of the houses. The high hills on either side of the town are bare. Individual experiences are thrilling and pathetic. The storm was intense early Monday forenoon, and the few children who ventured to school were sent home. A party of six children started from the lop of Broad street to attend school Monday morning. Two were picked up at the Stanley works almost frozen to death. The others are still missing. Mian Termay, one of the teachers, and her assistant dared not venture out They were left in the schoolhouse for thirty-six hours without food, their friends supposing them safe. Telegraph Haas. Christina Beikel, frosen to death on the corner of Broadway and Fulton street Jfgw Tout, March 18.—The billiard which struck this city early Monday morning, resulting in the ponderous now blockade which for three day* completely isolated the metropolis from the rest of the world—on this side of the ocean—has now passed into history, and the city has once more resumed its normal condition, while traffic to all points it almost entirely resumed. The scenes here during the three days that we were practically a world by ourselves were peculiarly interesting and exciting. The armies of workers residing in the suburbs who had managed to reach the city Monday rooming found it impossible to return to their homes, and the great city was unable to provide them with sleeping accommodations. Therefore banks, manufacturing establishments, stores, freight houses and barrooms were converted into temporary lodging houses, and here the armies stayed during the nights, spending their waking hours in the saloons—which, by the way, had a monopoly of business during the blockade. The hotels were unable to supply the demands made upon them, and in many instances premiums of tSb and (SO were Thomas Gleam, died from exposure." John McMabon, died from exposure. During the night twenty-eight barks and schooners Were driven ashore and forced above high water mark on the beach. for one year's rent of his entire dwelling. George D. Barrymore, hop merchant, found dead in a snow drift at Fifty-third street and Seventh avenue. . A two masted schooner came up during the gale, with all bands on the i&inmast While near the pier the wind increased and started the mainmast from its braces. The change was so great that the mast tottered and fell, and the men, with two exceptions, lashed themselves to the foremast. Two of the crew, who were unable to extricate themselves, in time from the wreckage, were washed overboard and drowiied. The others were rescued from their dangerous situations by the life saving crew. Great disappointment was felt at the news v. that the present emperor had been forbidden , to attend the funeral. He cannot talk, and with his throat exposed by the recent opera' tion it would have been suicidal for him to ' have exposed himself to the bitterly cold weather. Bismarck's physician also forbade him to go out to-day. The iron chancellor ' wis to have walked arm in arm with Von I Moltke, but the field marshal walked alone. He is nearly 90 years of age, and be, too, was advised not to expose himself to the weather, but he laughed the advice to scorn and announced that nothing would prevent his following to the gravo the master ha served so long and faithfully. The emperor's message yesterday, written by his own hand to King Humbert, referring to their meeting at San Pier d'Arena, says: "When thou lost thy father I went to thee and took part in thy grief and the grief of thy people. Now that I am bowed down by misfortune thou comust to me. Ip this I see another bond that will bind our dynasties together."These words from the invalid Emperor are sagerly read and pored over by the people here. Peter Conkling, overcome by tbn cold and dropped dead. Thomas Gleason, a war veteran, who was picked up unoonscious, died at the polioe station. In the revision of the tariff the aim hat been intelligently to apply consistent principles to all branches of industry, and in so doing our industrial system has been considered as a whole, and differing from other industrial systems in the important fact that the labor in this country receives* larger share of the annual products of labor and capital combined than in any other country. This important advantage to the labor interests of Uie United States the bill aims to tawserve throughout, while at the same • Una, "in fairness to all interests," as stated in the Chicago platform, "to nduoe and equalise" the duties on imports. The death of Robert H. Masterson st Mount Vernon, while directly due to heart disease, is said to have been indirectly caused by exposure to the storm. Alexander Bennett, forman of the nickel plating department of the Singer fiictory, started at noon Monday from the works, accompanied by Charles Lee and James Marshall, to go to their homes on Staten Island. They breasted the storm and at 12 o'clock reached Arnold's boat house at the Chancellor dock, where their boat was moored. Arnold tried to dissuade them from their voyage, but they laughed at his fears and left An unknown tugboat with a barge in tow sank with all hands off the Hen and Chickens shoals. The tug Thomas Crawford crashed into the pier and carried away her houses and decks. She foundered shortly after, and her engineer and fireman lost their lives. The meat] g—by courtesy called a fight— has been widely and loudly discussed to-day. Hundreds of men who were led by his wonderful physique, grand ion air and boastful words to lay their money on Sullivan, now look at him through the small end of the telescope, and the fact is as plain as the sun at noonday that he can never again hold up hia head in London without the stimulation of gall in a greater quantity than the ordinary human body can contain. Tis a pity that it should be said, but it is the almost unanimous opinion among all classes that the American ' 'champion of champions" is now relegated to the ranks of ordinary "pngs," and must henceforth seek engagements, not on his own terms, but upon the terms stipulated of such men as may think it worth while to figlit him. The principles applied to the revision of the tariff in this bill are that the difference in cost of producing commodities in this and other countries, where there is no climatic or other natural causes why they cannot be produced abundantly in this country, has been studied and everywhere adhered to as the cardinal principle to be enforced in any revision of the tariff. Tons of Coal Lost. Capt. Townsend, offthe wrecking schooner Tamesi, which fonndered near the Delaware Breakwater on Sunday night, says: "We did not have the faintest idea we were going to have a storm until it came right down on us. The snow almost blinded and paralyzed us, so that when the gale arrived we were a must unable to make any effort to get out Well, we finally got steam up, and as we were abput moving, the Simpson ran into-us and cut us in the center. We were in a sinking condition, and I shouted to my men to jump' on board the pier. They all landed safely. While I was climbing on the piling the tug went down. I saw the captain and his wife and heard her last cry. The mate and steward retained their senses and followed us. Then Capt. Kane and his crew took refuge on th3 pier, and that made eleven souls all told. I was in a position to see almost fverything that happened in the harbor, and I believe more than twenty persons were dronuedor lost their lives in the storm." Nothing was seen or heard of them until Wednesday morning, when Boatman Arnold ■aw a boat, bottom up, lying at the mouth of a creek on the Staten Island shore. An oar was found on the beach some distance awivy. Arnold instantly recognized the craft as Bennett's, and, returning to Eliza bethporf, gave the alarm. It was learned that neither of the men had reached home. Some of the factory employees organized a searching party, and, headed by Arnold, crossed tht sound and began to hunt the salt meadows for traces of the missing men. Pittsburg, Pa., March 16.—Navigation on the Ohio river is practically suspended by an almost unprecedented collision and wreck of loaded coal barges, eighteen in number, containing about 400,000 bushels of coal, valued at about (40,000, at the head of BrOwn'a Island, five miles above Bteubenville, O., Wednesday afternoon. The tow boat Ed Roberts, bound for Louisville, struck the sand bar at the head of the islaud, wrecking the forward boats in her tow. The tow boats Sam Clark and Eagle, following close behind, were unable to hold their fleets in check and crashed into the stranded fleet, piling barge upon barge in a tangled heap until the channel was completely blockaded by the debris. Part of the coal may be recovered in time of low water. The loss of coal on the rivers during the past few days has been enormous, and the agregate amounts to (75,000 to (80,- 000. The absence of loss of life is miraculous. ■jWBi HirvWWB H B In such a scheme all industries, of course, should stand on an equal footing, and in no .instance should the powers of government ti« used to elevate one above another. In other words our industrial system must be considered as a whole in w hich all who participate in it share its profits, whether they are engaged in one industry or another. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge, the crown princes of Austria and Denmark, Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, the Count of Flanders, Prince William of Wurtemberg, Gen. Billo, representing France, and eighteen minor princes called on the emperor yesterday and paid their respects. Three kings and seven crown princes followed the hearse oc foot They were the kings of Belgium, Roumania and Saxony, and the crown prinoen it England, Austria, Russia, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and SwedC4) The services at the cathedral were imposing in their simplicity. The genuine sorrow witnessed on every side at the loss of thergreai kaiser was, beyoud all question, such as will nover be repeated at the death of any European monarch now reigning, no matter what that potentate's present popularity with the populace may be. There was but one man in Europe who could evoke such symptoms of unmistakable grief, and he to-day was laid at rest among his illustrious ancestors. His many noble traits of character will be cherished by lovers of the FatherlaiM throughout the world, and the namo of Emperor William will be emblazoned on the pinnacle of the monument which Germany will erect to her dead rulers. Every fifty paces on Unter den Linden stood a candelabrum, four metres high, draped and wreathed with fir and surmounted by a cresset, containing a burning retinous compound. In front of many of the houses were displayed busts of the late emperor wreathed with corn Bowers. At the street crossings arches, hung with garlands, had been erected. It is ahnounced, but not officially, that the emperor will leave at the earliest possible moment for the Isle of Maigau, on the Rhine. There is no confidence here in the cheerful bulletins of the doctors. The informatioi filters down through the attendants and offl ciala at the palace that his majesty has suffered from cramps and suffocation. The dowager empress la also 111, and has not received the royal visitors to the palace. Yesterday disquieting rumors about Emperor Frederick's health continued to fly about. It was the main topic In the cafes and on the streets, where the people stood in vast crowds talking excitedly. The people exhibit curious sentiments toward Russia. The different stages of the journey of the czar's heir and the grand dukes of Russia were eagerly bulletined, and whenever the bulletins appeared the German crowds cheered vigorously for the czar. They hate the Russians, but the dying kaiser bade his son to be friendly to the ciar, and the populace has taken it upon its shoulders to voice the sentiments of its late idol. The Empress Augusta was unable to attend the funeral. In accordance with the wish of Empress Augufa, the late emperor's rooms will be left absolutely intact, just as when he lived in them. Nothing has yet been settled regarding Em peror Frederick's proposed visit to Wiesbaden. His cough and expectoration continues to decrease. He will take the oath of office privately at Charlottenbarg. About 4Dree miles from where the boat waa found they came upon the body of a man, who feebly moaned. Two other bodies were found near by covered with snow and loose hay. They were Bennett and Lee, frozen •tiff, and presented a ghastly appearance as they sat in a partly upright position against the haystack. Marshall was alive, and had burrowed a hole in the hay, into which the party crawled. He was picked up and carried to the nearest farmhouse, half a mile distant He died yesterday. One principle of great importance has been kept constantly in view, and that is that the line which marks the difference in cost oi producing commodities here and abroad—in other words, the line of fair competition—iC always and necessarily above the point oi maximum revenue. Consequently, to reduce the duties on any commodity below the lin* of difference in cost, whicn, as stated, is the line of even competition, until the line oi maximum revenue is passed, necessarily increases the revenues. On the contrary, to raise duties from the line of maximum revenue by lessening importations reduces the revenues. This principle has been kept in view throughout the bill in the adjustment of duties. The Sportsman expresses the opinion that Sullivan excels to a greater degree as a glove lighter on a board Btage, and bases its judgment on the fact that after the eighth round with Mitchell be ceased to be agile. The weatb *and the ague undoubtedly affected him, but still, when the fight was ended, "Jack wae as good as hia master." New Haven Mill tfJnder. The steamship Dessoug, from Savannah, arrived at this port Wednesday evening after a stormy passage. Capt. Askins, who was in command, was at the Maritime ex honge and stated that while off Cape Henlopen, bearing north, he saw about nine miles to the northwest a large vessel. She had suiik. He could see her yard and her foremast and trucks, which were painted white. She was apparently a bark. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning the pugilists were summoned into court, and upon the payment of $600 bail they were released from custody. Their case did not come up at Senlis, but at Chantilly, to .which place they wpre driven in a carriage. Magistrate Casefe of Senlis, is quite outspoken in regard to the release of the fighters. He says it is a very unwise step to release such men on bail, and appears to think the men were unwise, too, for if they had remained at Senlis the tribunal there would have probably only imposed a very light fine. After their release Sullivan and Mitchell took a train for Paris, and then boarded the night express for London. Sullivan was so drunk that he could not speak an intelligible word, and betides that he was very violent The action of the men In running away is considered more than unwise, as now the |000 reverts to the government, and they will be tried and sentenced by default In case they ever return to France they wilt be liable to be sentenced to prison for contempt Representatives of the London press visited Marlborough House yesterday and viewed the presents received by the Prince and Princess of Wales in commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. Prominent among the gifts is a magnificent toilet mirror heavily mounted and embossed with silver, a present from Mrs. W. Mackay. The much lauded silver model of the proposed imperial institute presented to his royal highness by the London corporation turns out to be not nearly so valuable as it purported to be. Its weightr(1,000 pounds), which was supposed to be due to a great extent to the quantity of silver it contained, is discovered to be chiefly in the marblo foundation upon which It rests, and as a remarkable production of art falls far short of the heralded descriptions which were given of it The Princess Alexandra was so delighted with the diamond and sapphire Becklace sent to her by the czar that immediately after receiving it she took it to her bedroom and remained there some time admiring it The necklace was not included among the presents exposed to view. With his proverbial parsimony, the Duke Of Edinburgh sent to his brother a very ordinary scarf pin and a ring which possibly oost him £2, and as if to emphasize his penurious disposition was made yesterday instead of Saturday, when the other gilts were coming in. New Haven, March 10.—The snow is three and a half feet on the level. Trains havt been stalled at nearly every station hereabouts. None but a few early accommodation trains on Monday morning have reached tills city since Sunday. The drifts in the cuts of the Consolidated road are monumental. Acting President Reed says that the company is doing its utmost to get the road open, but that it will be days before both trucks on the New York division are again in opera* tion. The road is not in such a bad conditio! north of here. There are rumors of many bodies being found in the snow, but these have not been verified. It looks now ba though no train could reach here from New York until late to-morrow. A BCBSB 0* BROADWAY. Near Newark, John Roe, aged 60 years, known as 'the crazy fisherman," was frozen to death near the pumping station. Jamec Murphy, who escaped from the City hospital, died from his injuries. Charles Baker, a locomotive engineer, was crushed under hia engime, which turned over in a snow drift on the Morris and Easex railroad near Washington. John Boyer, a boy, was frozen to dealt near Brookdale. A brother of John Duffy, oi Irvington, who went out with a team on Monday, has not been heard of since. Annie Mo Cune, of No. 216 Warren street, Newark, it missing. paid for a bed for a single night The hackmen, too, received fabulous prioes, charging at the rate of (1 per minute, it is said, for transporting snowbound wayfarers who were wealthy enough to meet their demands. They bad their own way in the matter, for even the elevated trains were brought to a standstill, strange M it may appear. The blockade on the elevated, however, was caused mainly by the extra demand made for transportation.To determine just where the line of difference in cost falls is, of course, in many* instances difficult; but it may be safely summed, when importations in any line oi commodities is large and increasing—and no good reason appearing why the tilings cannot as well be produced hare—that such duties are below the cost line, and that the advantage is with the foreign producer. If production in the same line is diminished or suspended altogether in this country, it becomes proof positive that the advantage is too great to be overcome without a readjustment of duties. It is believed that the barge Hazeltlne and her crew are lost. A letter was received at the Maritime exchange from Capt. Williamson, of the tug O. W. Prfde, Jr., which is now lying at the breakwater. The letter states that the barge ashore on the Hen and Chickens shoals is probably the Hazeltine, and that her captain and crew have not been seen. And to make matters worse, the suburban reddest* who were Imprisoned here were unable to communicate with their families, telegraph and telephone lines being completely prostrated. But In their dilemma everybody was good natured, and each person familiarly greeted the stranger with whom he came, in contact, and then they would fall into conversation as naturally as though they had known each other for a lifetime. As a result of this good nature the miniature mountains of mow bore many witty legends, as if to add to the general cheer. A few samples are riven: Henry Forrester, of Orange Valley, it thought to have been lost in the big drilt on the Brie railroad. John Allana, of Harrison; Richard Van Horn, of Arlington, and George Wayne are all misting. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, of No. 88 Hone street, Newark, is thought to have perished. L. B. Smalls, a tailor, of No. 650 Broad street, has been miaring since Monday. Provisions Running Low In Bridgeport. jumped The track.

The damaged locomotives have been removed to Bridgeport Fatal Results of an Accident on the Erie Road at Sclo. In such cases—embracing however, but a few articles—there has been no hesitancy, in preparing this bill, to raise duties. so as to permit three industries to take their place abreast with, others in the country. Bradford, Fa., March 12.—Train No. S on the Erie railroad jumped the track at Solo. N. Y., early yesterday swralng, resulting In the death of one passenger and the maiming of twelve others.

Milwaukee, March 16.—Yesterday morning the four-story building Nob. 174 and 170 West Water street suddenly burst into flames from basement to roof. The walls of the building fell in and several of the firemen were buried beneath the ruins. Two men were completely buried and could not be rescued. They are undoubtedly dead. Several other firemen were dangerously wounded. Herman Lechner, of Trucks, was so seriously hurt that he died from his injuries after being put in a patrol wagon. Jake Dahl, a truckman of No. 8, was very badly wounded and may die. John Coughlia, a fireman, was also badly bruised and suffered internal injuries, which rr y prove fatal.

The bodies of six dredgers were found on the shores of the Great Annemessex, and it is reported that a large number of men have been drowned. The press comments on the prince1* diver wedding and the present* received by the royal pair are with one exception of a character that cannot fail to be highly gratifying to the future king and hi* wife. The exception is a leader in The Times, whioh mars the unanimity of the complimentary articles by referring to the unfortunate weakneues of the prince which lead him to patronise and fraternize with American cattle 'drovers and prize fighters. Long Island Citt, March 16.—James Fuller, aged 16, of 122 East Thirty'-second street, New York, was shtt in the eye and fatally wounded Wednesday night by Joseph Woods, of 737 Second avenue, New York, in a quarrel over the division of $80, which they stole from a lady worshiper in-St. Stephen's churoh at mats last Sunday morning.

Fur New Yorkers were about eaten out of house and home. Had the blookade continued during the week there is not the slightest doubt that many would hare died of starvation, and as it is many poor families, whose ordiagpy income baa been sufficient to sustain life, have fait the pongs of hunger during the siege. The greatest sufferers were those who secure their fuel from the itinerant venders. Thai* latter enterprising citisens were unable to call on their customers Monday or Tuesday, and as the supply laid in an Saturday had given oat on Monday, these poor people were compelled to go without fire until yesterday, when street traffic was resumed.
