QUINCY , Mass. , Nov. 28. The three-
masttd schooner which went ashore near the
National Sailors home yesterday Is the John
Hill bound for Hlllsboro , N. B. , from New
York.
It was anchored In the Nnntnskct roads
when tbo storm struck. It dragged Its an
chors and was gradually driven before the
terrific gale until It struck the shore. The
steamer now lies high on the shore and Is
apparently not damaged. The John Hill
was engaged In the plaster trado. It regis
tered 947 tons nnd was built In 1S92 at
Marine City , Mich. It halls from Port
Huron , Mich. The crew la safe.
Not until daylight did the havoc wrought
by the storm In Boston harbor and vicinity
become npp.arcnt. Not since 1892 has a
storm caused such destruction of property
and low of life. The tugs that started
early today to explore the harbor and offer
assistance where It was needed found a con
dition cf affairs almost unprecedented In the
marine history of Boston. On every shoal
and reef In the harbor was found some
wracked craft , over which a wild sea still
dashed ? carrying the vessel higher up on
the shore or slowly grinding It to fragments ,
Many wrecks were covered with Ice , and
this and the fact that a terrific sea wai
running made It Impossible to learn theli
names. The raging waters also prevented
any attempt to recover bodies known tc
be In some of the wrecks and It Is probable
that it will bo several days before a com
plete list of those lost can bo obtained.
At Shag Rocks , between Boston llghl
and the Browstcrs , where the schooner Cal
vin F , Baker was ashore three sailors were
drowned whose names are unknown. Also
a steward was frozen In the rigging. The
flrst and second mates were saved.
The entire crew ot the schooner Babcock ,
wrecked on Hull beach , supposed to number
nine men , were lost. Names unknown.
From the schooner S. W. Tllton , wrecked

From Tien Tsln comes nens which chows
that Japan has decided to resist Russian
aggression. It Is preparing to drive the
czar's troops from Corel , and to this end
large detachments of troops are being
landed In the hermit kingdom. News Is
also at band from Tien Tsln that a large
number of Japanese spies have been
captured by the Russians a' Port Arthur

the Japanese army , were taken , and on
their persons were found drawings ot the
principal fortifications. But a day elapied
after their capture before they were marched
out before a firing party of Russians and
summarily shot.
The rebels In Chung Ktang , according to
advices by the Glenoglo , are Increasing in
power dally. The Tung Liang and How
Chow railway ! completely under their
control. They have compelled well-to-do
people to provide them with money and
provisions and are making weapons day
and night. Merchants In Chung Klans
have wired to Shanghai and other ports
stopping the shipment of goads. The rebels
are dally committing atrocities of every
sort and kind. One of their leaders , VII ,
went to the governor of Lung Shut Chin and
demanded a large sum ot money , and was
refused , and the rebels , 2,000 strong ,
plundered the town , killing hundreds. Two
days afterward they went to Tung Liang
and demolished all the houses of the
Christians , masaacrelng those who tried to
escape with shocking brutality. They then
declared that they had gone to that city
especially to oppose foreigners and
Christians. Others , they said , were not to
be molested unless they offered resistance.
Two French priests and a missionary had
gone to the magistrates yemen for , shelter ,
and late In the afternoon the rebels went
to the magistrates and asked that they be
delivered up. The magistrate * refused , but

sionaries. The missionary drew a revolver
and resisted and he was at once killed.
The two French priests were bound and
carried away as prisoners. The rebels then
retired to Wang Cboa Tung. They are , It
IS said , seizing and murdering Christians
almost dally.
Troubles In Cores.
According to the reports from Chemulpo
matters have reached a grave crisis In
Coroa. The emperor Is being worried to
death with petitions by the Independence
club , which is forcing his hand to' dismiss
some of the higher ministers , when the
whole phalanx of the Independence club
will Invade the palace and take charge ol
the government's affairs. The execution
ot the unfortunates who attempted to poison
the emperor was a ghastly affair. The
doomed were taken from the scaffold on
which they were to have been executed by
a mob. Then began one of the most grow-
some'exhibitions of savagery and blood-
thtrstlness aver seen In any land. The
condemned men were actually torn to pieces
by the mob , and even when lite was extinct
Jtbo most , devilish Indignities Imaginable
"
were heaped on tbVinangted" bleeding
remains.
Considerable excitement prevails In Peklr
among the Manchu faction over the action
ot the empress dowager in bestowing upor
Tsal Chi , prince of Tuan , and Prince Taea !
Lien a sword called the "Shang Fond , '
which oarrlei with It the right to 'behead
any person , regardless of rank or dignity
without 'first asking permission from thi
throne. This Is to guard against sudder
signs of treachery. Although the Shane
Fand sword has been an Institution of the
country ever since the earliest Chinese his

during the present dynasty and then to tbi
Mongol general , 81 Bhang , who , Haa.ep.
pointed by the late emperor , Hslen Feng

WASHINGTON , Nov. 28. M. Thlebaut.
charge de affaires of France , called at the
State department today to advise Secretary
Hay that the Trench government was about
to adopt precautionary measures against
the Introduction from thla country of the
San Jose scale and that decrees will be
Issued prohibiting the Importation of trees ,
shrubs and plants from the United States
and requiring the inspection of ell fruits ,
fresh and dried , at the point of landing
In France.
These measures , M. Thlebaut said , were
qulie Immaterial as affecting the general
trade from this country to France , as the
shipments of trees , plants and shrubs last

fruit 140,000. The action of France was
itaken , It is said , only after some ot th
American states had adopted precautionary
laws against this post and after the French
scientists had advised that the introduction

WASHINGTON , Nov. S3. The United
States supreme court , through Justice Gray ,
has announce * ! the DOW bankrutcy rules
which It fcas authorized to frame aud pro
mulgate under the national bankruptcy act
of July 1 , 1898.
The rules have been awaited with much
Interest , as a number of courts declined to
proceed with bankruptcy cases until the
supreme court announced the new rules.
Justice Gray announced that the new rules
would take effect on January 2 , 1899. The
rules , while promulgated at this time , be
said , would not be ready for distribution
for some time , owing to proof revision.
The rules are preceded by an order pre
scribing the proceedings In bankruptcy
under the law previous to the day on which
the rules go Into eftcct.
This order Is to the effect that where the
proceedings are "In substantial conformity
either with the provisions of these general
orders or else nlth the general orders is-
lablUhed by this court under the bankrupt
act of 1867 and with any general rules or
special orders of the courts In bankruptcy ,
they shall stand good , subject , however , to
such further regulation by rule or order
of those courts OB may be necessary or
proper to carry Into force and effect the
bankrupt act of 1S98 and the general orders
of thla court. "
? bo first rule requires the clerk of the
court to keep a docket foi entering caeca
I In their order , with a memorandum of all
I proceedings except those entered by the
I referee. The docket is to be at all times
I open to public Inspection.
1 RulcH 2 , 3 and 5 relate successively
to the filing of papers , ito processes , to
the conduct of proceedings And to the fram
ing of petitions. The clerk la required to
endorse on each paper filed the timeof its
receipt. All processes arc -to Issue under
tha seal ot the court. It Is required that
all petitions and schedule * shall b plainly
written and without abbreviation or inter
lineation.
| Prosecute Only Inillvldanl Claim * .
I Under the head of "conduct of proceed
ings , " rule4 , it Is provided that "proceed-
. ings may be conducted by the bankrupt in
bis own behalf or by a po'.ltlonlng or op-
i posing creditor , but a creditor will only be
allowed to manage before the conn his In
dividual Interest. Every party may appear
and conduct the proceedings by attorney ,
who shall bo an attorney or counselor au-
thorlzed to practice In the circuit or district
court. Notices and orders not required to
be served on the party personally mny b
served upon his attorney.
Rule 6 , relating to petitions In different
districts , says : "In case two or more pe
tition ! shall be Bled against the same in
dividual In different districts , the first hear
ing shall be held In the district in which
the debtor has his domicile and the petition
may bo amended by inserting an allegation
of an act of bankruptcy commuted at an
earlier date than the first alleged , it such
earlier act Is charged In either of the other
petitions ; and in case of two or more pe
titions against the- same partnership in dif
ferent courts , each having jurisdiction over
the case , the petition flrst filed shall be
first heard and may be amended by the in
sertion of an allegation of an earlier Bet
of bankrupt than the flrst , If such earlier
act is charged in either of the other peti
tions , and In either case- the proceedings
upon the other petitions may be stayed
until an adjudication Is made upon the
petition first heard , and the court which
makes theflrst adjudication of bankruptcy
shall retain jurisdiction ov r all proceed
ings therein until closed.- '
Prior Claim * .
In the matter of priority nnd in cases
where two or more petitions are filed by
creditors against a common debtor alleg
ing separate acts of bankruptcy on differ
ent days , It is provided by rule 7 that
preference shall bo given to'the petition al
leging the earliest act'of bankruptcy. In
case all the petitions name the same flay
for the act the cases are to be consolidated.
| Rule 8 provides that any member of a
partnership who refuses to Join In a petl-
uon to have the partnership declared bank
rupt shall be entitled to resist the prayer of
the petition in the same manner as If the
petition had been filed by a creditor of the
partnership and to make all defenses which
any debtor proceeded against is entitled to
take by the provisions of-the act.
Rule 9 says that In all cases of involun
tary bankruptcy in which the bankrupt is
absent or cannot be found , It Is made the
duty of the petitioning creditor to file ,
within five days , a schedule giving the
names and places of residence of all the
creditors of the bankrupt , according to his
best information. . If the debtor is found ,
the petitioner may apply for an attachment
against the debtor to furnish a schedule.
Rule110 provides for the indemnity of the
officers of court prior to their duties ;
Rule 11 allows amendments to petitions
and schedules.

The duties of referees are prescribed by
the twelfth rule. This rule provides that
. the order referring a cam shall name a
j day .upon which the bankrupt shall attend

the bankrupt shall be subject to the orders
I of the court in all matters relating to his
bankruptcy. The referee Is to be Irnme-
I dlately notified of his appointment , and
! thereafter practically all the proceedings are
to be had before the referee. It is also re-
I quired that tlmo and place the referees
I shall act shall be fixed' by special order
of the judge or by'the referee. Applica
tions for a discharge or for approval of
