The Honse, after prolonged debatej jMUMed the bill Amending the Chinese Immigra­ tion act by a vote of 184 to 13.

Mr. Rtee showed that a Chinese merchant In San fVancinoo (rave $3,000 to the Garfield H08pita! fond, and Mr. Budd retaliated fry a remark that the Chinese sold their daughters tor the vilest purposes.

VAK WTCK, of Nebraska, Introduced a Mil In the Senate, on the 5th tnst, to restrict aliens and foreign corporations in the ownership of public lands, and Vr. Plumb offered a meas­ ure to forbid aliens acquiring title to real estate in any Territory or the District of Columbia. A favorable report was made on the House bill cranting a pension to the widow of Gen. Judson Kilpatrick. There was an interesting dls- ensflion of the shipping bill. The House of Representatives adopted a resolution seating O'Ferrall (Democrat) as a member from Vir­ ginia, in place of Paul (Readjuster!, and be was sworn in. Bills were introduced to exclude the publtc lands of Arkansas from the operation of the laws relating to mineral lands, and to issue patents for lands to any Pacific road which shall complete its track within thirty days. Objection •was made by Mr. Wcller to the consideration of a joint resolution appropriating (10,000 to defray the expenses of the Siamesn Embassy. SEVERAL memorials were presented in the Senate, on the 6th inst., in favor of suspending the coinage of the silver dollar. A bill for a free bridge across the Potomac was passed. Mr. Vance mafic an argument in support of the free- ship bill. Mr. Vest made a favorable report on a bill to erect a public building at Detroit, lim­ iting the cost of the site to $»oo,ooo. Shortly after the House met the tariff bill was taken up. for the last day's debate. Mr. Gibson (Dem. >, of Louisiana, led off with a speech in favor of the measure, after which Mr. Randall (Dem.), of Pennsylvania, took the floor in opposition to the bill. He held that in the nice adjustment of business affairs there was nothing so conduc­ ive to success as stability. Judging from the intemperate language of the friends of the bill, those engaged in industrial pursuits were rob­ bers and outlaws. As a matter of fact they were nothing of the sort. They were entitled to the protection of the law. He then went on to argue against the policy of un­ settling business interests by constant tinkering with the tariff. Mr. Black­ burn (Dem.) of Kentucky advocated the bill. He •aid the time was not far distant when the j eo- ple would repudiate the political hypocrisy of the protectionists. Protection for the sake of protection wa°» the battle cry of the Republi­ cans. He asked the Democrats to make taxa­ tion for revenue theirs. The advocates of the principles contained in the bill were readv for the fray, armed in a cause which they knew to be just. He protested against the current idea that the ad­ vocates of the bill desired to exile from the party any Democrats who might differ from them. He had no power of expulsion. It rested with each man to determine his party affiliation. Let him who would strike down hio party, show by his rccord upon whose hand the blood was to be found. In conclusion, he hoped that enough enlightenment might soon be brought to the House to repudiate the bigotiy which dis­ graced politics in the shape of protection. Mr. Kasson (Rep.), of Iowa, closed the debate in op­ position to the bill. He declared that it was Impossible to administer it and it would re­ quire a special catechism to answer the questions which would be asked before any goods could be imported. He then proceeded to dttiil the benefits the country had derived from protection. Mr. Morrison (Dem.), of Illi­ nois, the author of the bill, made the closing debate in its favor. He made a rapid review of the objections to the measure. He then said that the Demo­ cratic members from Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and California had been elected on the tariff platform, and feared that if the bill should be defeated they would be succeeded by Page and Burrows and Hazelton and "My Dear Hubbell." Turning to Randall, Mr. Morrison said: "Von have the power to strike cut tha enacting clause of the bill. If you have that power, yon have the power to amend this bill and make it what it should be." Mr. Converse (Dem.), of Ohio, moved to strike ont the enacting clause of the bill. This was the signal for a volley of hisses and groans from the Democratic side, this demonstration being met by rounds of applause from the Republi­ cans. The motion prevailed by a vote of 159 yeaa to 155 nays. When the result was announced the victorious com­ bination gave round r'ter round of cheers. Forty-one Democrats and 318 Republicans voted against the bill, and 4 Republicans and 151 Democrats in favor of it. Of the 41 Demo­ cratic votes in favor of killing the bill, Pennsylvania gave 12, New York 6. (jjhio 10, California 4, New Jersey 3, and Mary­ land, Louisiana, Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, and Connecticut 1 each. The names are as follows: Arnot. Boyle. Budd.

THE shipping bi.l was again debated in the Senate on the 7th inst. An amendment by Sen­ ator Vest was adopted in a modified form. As adopted it provides that there shall be no ton- mnge.duties on United States vessels or on the vessels of nations which do not impose duties on the ships of this country. The "subsidy sec­ tion" of the bill was attacked by Senators Beck and Maxey. The latter said that frdb ships and tariff relorm would be the great political issues of the future, to be decided by the tribunal of the peop'e. Mr. Edmunds introduced a bill to place tho name of U. S. Grant on the retired list of the army, adding that everybody understood the reason. Mr. Blair presented a measure for the adjustment of accounts of laborers and mechan­ ics under the eight-hour law. Mr. Hill addressed the Senate in favor of the forfeiture of lands .panted to the New Orleans. Baton Kouge and Vlcksburg Railroad Company. The Hause of Representatives refused to concur in the Senate amendments to the bill for the relief of Fiti John Porter, which cut off pay and allowances from the date of dismissal, and a conference committer was ordered WHEN the shipping bill came up in the Sen­ ate, on the 8th inst., Mr. Mcpherson's amend­ ment cutting off compensation for return trips of mail vessels was rejected, Mr. Vest's amend- mendment for shipping commissioners was agreed to, and motion to strike out the section for foreign mail pay was lost. The House bill was then taken up. amended as above, and passed without debate. Mr. Logan refused to serve on a conference com­ mittee on the Fitz John Porter bill, and Messrs. jBewell, Hawley, and Coclcrell were appointed. Mr. Mitchell made a favorable report on the bill granting pensions to soldiers of the Mexican war, with an amendment that only d pendent persons can enjoy its benefits. Mr. Dawes secured the passage of a resolution of inquiry as to whether any steps had been taken to prosecute a cowboy named Halferino for shoot­ ing an Indian named Iia.k Wolf. Tne Hous? of Representatives passed the bill to appropriate tl.ooo.coo to the World's Industrial Exposition at New Orleans, the amount to be re­ turned lrom the gate receipts.

Grant, had before the fail- «re of the Harine National Bank. The ex- President said he thought the condition of the country outside of Wall street waa on whole prosperous. Producers were con­ tented and manufacturers were busy. At the end of the present century he thought the United States would have a population of 100,000,000. New York will become.the financial centre of the world, and the South­ ern States may be the leading manufactur­ ing section, probably in cotton fabrics and iron. The prosperity of the United States, he thinks, will favorably affect Mexico. Utah should be deprived of its Territorial Government and ruled by Commissioners, like the District of Columbia . . President Fish, of the burst Marine Bank of New York, is reported to have said that Ferdi­ nand Ward betrayed his confidence, and that he (Ward) is a defaulter for $750,000. FKANKXIN P.

Wheeler for the murder of S. P., or "Print," Matthews, in that county last election day. Matthews, it will be remembered, was the leading Re­ publican in Copial County, and the affair acquired national importance through the Senate Investigating Committee. The grand jury making the indictment was composed entirely of Democrats, including one Demo­ cratic negro. AT Winston, N. C., a mob took Henry Swaim, who murdered a woman, from the jail and hanged him. "WASHINGTON. AT a meeting of the Senate Finance Com­ mittee it was agreed that the trade-dollar bill should be reported adversely. Senator Sherman will write the report. MAJOB CONNOLLY, of Illinois, has for­ mally declined the Solicitorahip of the Treasury, although the Senate promptly confirmed the nomination. At the meeting of the House Committee on Expenditures of the Department of Justice, the other day, Mr. Springer read a letter from William Pitt Kellogg, in which the latter asked to be allowed to appear before the committee with coun­ sel. Kellogg further said that if the committee did not investigate him he would ask the House to appoint a special committee to conduct the investigation. The committee instructed Mr. Springer to confer with Mr. Kellogg, and suggest that the latter offer a resolution in the House asking for an investigation. It is the in­ tention of the committee to investigate the conduct of the officials of the Govern­ ment in the prosecution of Kellogg. POLITICAL. AT the Montana Republican Convention, held at Bozeman, Mantle and Sanders were chosen delegates to Chicago, with Learning and Knowles as alternates. Sanders is for Blaine and Mantle for Edmonds. The al­ ternates are for Arthur and Edmunds re­ spectively. THE New Mexico Republican Convention elected H. W. Llewellyn and Eugene Romero delegates to Chicago. There were no in­ structions, but they are believed to favor Arthur, with Logan as second choice. Strong resolutions indorsing Arthur's administra­ tion were adopted. CONGRESSMAN J. D. LONG, of Massa­ chusetts, who voted to strike ont the enact­ ing clause of the Morrison bill, says he fa­ vors revenue reform, believes that the country demands it, but he could not vote for the Morrison measure because it was crude, imperfect, and incomprehensible.... The Kentucky Democratic State Conven­ tion declared John G. Carlisle its prefer­ ence for President. THE Massachusetts Prohibition State Convention was held at Boston, the resolu­ tions declaring for the suppression of the Uquor traffic by constitutional and statutory measures. THE Democratic protectionists talk about introducing a bill in the House during the present session for a revision of the tariff. The bill, it is said, will propose to place a large number of dutiable articles on the free list. THE WEEK'S FIRE RECORD. A FIBE on the corner of Atwater and Griswold streets, Detroit, burned the build­ ing of the Steam Supply Company and other structures valued at $100,000. The steamer B. S. Ford, valued at $175,000, was burned at her wharf at C-harlestown, Md. Forest fires in New York, Pennsyl­ vania, New Jersey, and Maryland wiped out hundreds of thousands of acres of val­ uable timber and extinguished several vil­ lages, entailing an estimated loss of $4,000.- 000. Thirty-one buildings at Gainesville, Fla., were reduced to ashes, causing a loss of $140,000. Other fire losses of the week were as follows: Losses.

T-HE steamer City of Portland, with seventy passengers, was deceived by a buoy which was out of position, and went on a ledge of rocks near Owl's Head, Maine. A sloop answered the signals of distress, and took off the women and children, and the steamer Rockland soon arrived to rescue the other passengers and their baggage. The vessel and cargo will be a total loss. * FOREIGN.

The Australian Socialist Demo­ crats have issued a manifesto. Among other things it declares an economic crisis is imminent and that America must pat a stop to European immigration. ADDITIONAL KEWST - REPORTS of the wheat crop from various parts of Michigan indicate that in the north­ ern counties it will be 87 per cent, of an average and in the southern tier about 97 per cent. Clover is rather backward, and will average 90 per cent. Apples will be about the same, while peaches will scarcely exceed half Of a full crop. Reports from various parts of Dakota and Minnesota regarding the condition of the spring wheat crop are very encouraging. There is an increased acreage, and from present appearances there will be a very abundant harvest. The twit crop is also looking very well. The Illinois Department of Agriculture finds the prospects not encouraging for over 84 cent, of an average yield of winter wheat. The crop outlook in Iowa is of a most cheering character.

IT is stated that the Canadian Pacific Road has agreed to make Port Williams the chief point on Lake Superior, and erect there a huge elevator. The announcement causes great indignation at the ambitious town of Port Arthur, twelve miles distant. Mt. Sterling, Ky., while a guard was conveying convicts to prison, one of the latter, on the plea that his handcuffs fitted too closely, secured the guard's gun and killed him, when three of the prisoners es­ caped, and five others surrendered them­ selves .1.. More than half of Madison and Tensas Parishes, in Louisiana, are under water, and cattle are dying in great numbers from starvation and the stings of buffalo- gnats. THE failure of the firm of Grant & Ward, of New York, is a very bad one, and the Grants, father and sons, have made an as­ signment for the benefit of their creditors. An enormous amount of unsecured liabili­ ties of the firm exists, comprising notes and simple receipts for money received for speculation. The lia­ bilities of the house are estimated at $8,000,000. In the Supreme Court of New York Judge Donohue granted an order requiring the partners in the house of Grant &, Ward to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed, and enjoining them against disposing of their assets. Ward's career furnishes astonishing proof of the capacity of the young high roller to make a fool of himself. Eight years ago he was a clerk at a salary of $1,000" a year. He made money in one way and another, and on the day before his bubble burst he had a brown stone palace in Brooklyn and a magnificent country seat at Sherpshead Bay. He kept a French cook, a French butler, a French valet, and his wife had two French maids. He had twenty-four horses in his stables, a tally-ho coach, two landaus, one English cart, and a pony phae­ ton for his wife, to say nothing of spider buggies and the like, in which to speed his trotters. From $1,000 a year in 1876 he had grown so in alleged wealth that his house­ hold expenses alone were $1,000 a week. THE Indian appropriation bill was debated in the Senate on the 9th inst. The committee having the measure in charge recommended an addition of $757,413 to the amount recommended by the House, which favored an appropriation of $5,456,389. Mr. Dawes explained that the increase was mainly in the interest of increased educational facilities for the Indians. The greater part of the deb itc was directed to an Item for the increase ot the appropriation for the education of the Alaska Indians. Mr. I)olph introduced a bill for the construction of a harbor of refuue at Port Orforci, on the Pacific coast. The House of Representatives passed a bill givint; the widow of Gen. Frank P. Blair $5,(HIO for his services in organizing troops, and increas­ ing her pension to too per month. A remon­ strance from the Louisville Board of Trade against the enactment of a bankruptcy law was presented. Some hours were consumed in de­ bate on war claims from Henderson, Tenn., growing out of a levy on disloyal citizens to pay for depredations committed by Confederals soldiers. Both houses adjourned to the 12th. ~ THE MARKET. NEW YORK. PRESIDENT-MAKERS. Tha Men Who Will Name the Next Chief Magistrate ef the - United State*.

The convention which nomi­ nate I Garfield was distinguished for the number of bri'liant and prominent politicians who were memoirs of it. Conkling, (iartield. Cameron. Logan, Hale, Frve, Harrison, Boutwcll, Hoar, and many others ma.lc the ass-'ml)lafc one of the most remarkable in the history of the country. What in the fata of the nominatois in tDat con- veiiti mV Blaine was noinin ited by Jaiues F. Joy, of Mi chigan, and seconded bv F. M. llxley, of California, and William P. Frye, of Maine.

Bradley, of Kentucky. Neither of these uentlemen wdl attend the convention in 1H84. Sherman was nominated by James A. Garfield, and seconded bv F. C. Winckler of Wisconsin, and li. B. Elliott, a colored deleeato f om South Carolina. Garhcld nles-ps In Lake View Cemetery, on the shore* of Like Erie. Mr. EMott is not re-elected, but Mr. Winckler will come at-ain lrom Wisconsin, this time to casta vote for President Arthur. Edmunds was 110m- iuat -d by Frederick Billings, the Vermont capi­ talist, and seconded My John E. Sanford.of Mas­ sachusetts. Mr. Billings has teen again elected, to support and perhaps to present the same vet­ eran Statesman by whom h- stood four yars : g >. | Washburne was presented by J. B.Cassoday, wiio beaded the Wisconsn delegation, and seconded by Augustus Brandegee, of Connecti­ cut. Mr. Brand<-g.>e will ret ail with his fluent si>eeoh to the coming convention to speak for Gen. Joseph R. Hawley. Fonr short years have worked wonderful changes with th«^> Pennsylvania tn 1880 sent Senator Don Cam- won, Matthew Quay, Christopher Mngee, Gen. James A. Bearer. Only Macee is re-elected, aad his seat Is contested. In all of Pennsylvania's delegation only six of the delegates of four years ago axe delegates now. New York In lfNo pent Conkling, Arthur, Cor­ nell, Edw rds Pierpont, William H. Robertaju, Thoma-n C. Piatt. Of these men only the latter two return, their opponents now ostensibly on the same Bide thouirh not in realitv.

Emery A. Storrs, Green B. Ranm, and Dave Lit­ tler. None of them will sit this year. Only one Of the former delegates is re-elected. Stephen W. Dorsey and Powell Clayton then 1«1 the Arkansas delegation. Clayton will b • with us again, but Dorsey will remain oil his f ar­ away New Mexican ranch, though his mental telescop : will be leveled const ntly at Chicago. Indiana, In 1880, gave Chicago Ben Harrison, and he will return this year w.tn the blanket of a dark horse draped abont him. Indiana's delega­ tion will also ba adorned with the v. nerable ex- Secretary Richard W. Thompson. J. 8. Clarkson will heid the lowa delegation now as four ye .rs ago, but not another Iowa delegate has been re­ elected. P. B. Plumb, who came with the Kan­ sas delegation in lsso, wdl return as Senator Plumb, and he leads the delegation. Commis­ sioner Walter Evans comes again fro.11 Ken­ tucky, and that State re-elects six of lier del­ egates, all but one mernbe s of"the :;06 legion, now all for the President. Senator William Pit- Kellogg is re-elected from Louisiana,and ex-Scn- ator Pinchback will accompany him. M ine elects only one of the former delegat's--J.j-eph R. Bodwed--who this year succeeds Senator Hale at the head of tl\e list. Congressman Hol­ ton, who leads the Maryland delegation, is a new man in national conventions. Massachusetts returns Senator George F. Hoar, who led h ;r delegation for Edmunds in 18N0, and presided with such justice and ab liiy over the former long and stormy convention. He is this year re-entorced by ex-Gov. LonV, Congressman Crapo, and Henry Cabot Lodge, the hi>tor.an. Congressmen Horr an I Burrows will illuminate Michigan's contingent. Neither wa-< a d .'legate in 18K0, and not one of that former delegation is returned. Senator Sabin returns from Minir - sota, advanced from the third to the first 1 lace on the delegation, and he is the onlv for­ mer delegate re-eleeted. Missist-ippi in issti sent ex-Senator Blanche K Bruce, and returns him at the head of the dele­ gation. Mississippi re-elects four of its former delegates, all wearers of SOG badges, and five others of the new delegation were alternates in 1880. Missouri returns two of its leading mm, Chauncey I. Filley and Robert T. Van Horn. Gen. John B. Henderson is one of the prominent members of this delegation. William E. Chand­ ler is missed from the New Hampshire contin­ gent, and Judson Kilpatrick is absent from the delegation lrom New Jerscv. This State, how­ ever, re-elects 8 nator Wili.am J. Sewill and William Walter Phelps. E. J. Davis and Web­ ster Flanagan, who headed the Lone Star dele­ gation, will return unto us. William Mahone, from Virginia, is new as a delegate, and will be onsof the prominent though small figures of the convention. The West Virgin:a members, who created so much stir in the former conven­ tion, are all left at home, and entirely new men selected. Altogether there have been elected 103 of the delegates who sat in the convention of four years ago, and of this number flftv-eight, or more than one-half, are m jinbers of "the old guard" of MM. Only ten of tlis fifty-eight comc from Northern States, of whom six are from New York. New York has dealt most liberally with its former representatives, having re­ elected ten of them; but Alabama, havinx re­ elected nine, has done better In proportion to the size of her delegation. There will be a great number of soldiers in tho coming tohvention; there will be ten or a dozen members of Con­ gress, and as many editors of dailv newspapers. There will not be so brilliant a galaxy cf the chief men of the nation, but the convention w.ll be a repr< sentative one of tue intelligence of the Republican paity, GOSSIP ABOUT THE CONVENTION. Be pairing the Hall--1 <lm Ir able Arrange­ ments. I From the Chicago Times. 1 ; •; The work of changing the north end of the Exposition Building into a music hall, which will also be used for the two great political con­ ventions, is progressing rapidly, and there is no doubt of its !>eiug finished in good season for the May festival. The ha 1 will have a sounding- board on either end to < ontine the sound, and its acoustic proper des are expected to be per­ fect. The audienoe-rj m will have a descent of live fee-, in its < nt re length, and will h ive about ten thousand seats. The galhries, an far as inclosed in the hall, will seat about l.noo more. The amphitenter constructed for the chorus on the north end will have' over 1,100 seats. Here, during the conventions, dis­ tinguished uuests will b ' place'!. Tha platform constructed for the orchestra and for tlio con­ ductor's desk will tasily sea' uoo, and will ba utilized during the conveu 10ns for the Chair­ men and the officers of the conventions. The interior or the hall wdl have a very pleas wit look, and l>esides It is expected that it will in ev< ry rega-d be superior to the space used tor the convention of 1H80, and the equal it not the super.or of any mu ic hall in the country as tar as sealing arrangements a id acoustic properties are concerned. T:ie hall will be lighted by low rings of twen'y gas-jets eacii. and besides there will bj 450 lights lor aisles, pas ageways, and s.da-rcoms. The subcommittees of the local committee in charge of the r>re; arations for the convention have about com: le.ted their work. The IHstrlbiiiion of Ticket*. I From the Chicago Tribune.! Mr. Sam Raymond, Chairman of the local Committee cn Arrangements for the Republican Convention, stated the other day that it would be next to useless to apply to the members of the committee for tickets of admission to the convention. Ot the 1,' 00 seats reserved for 1110 local committer. 800 had been given to the sul>- scribers of the convention fund,75 would go to the stockholders of the Ext o-dtion Company, which gave the use of the building free of charge, and the rest would be distributed among the mem­ bers of the local committee. 4'2 in number. He also said that the Financ ? Committee had prac- t callv flnish"d its work and obtained sutHcient subscriptions to meet the expenses of the con­ vention in good shape. Anticipating « Long Siege. [From the Chicago News.] Local Re) nblican politicians are anticipating almost as long a national convention as that of four years ago. They say this will be caused by the largo number 01 contested delegations. In almost every State there are from one to three districts in which contests will be made. While some of them are merely made with the ho re that the contestants will thereby obtain seats iu the convention hall, they will take up a goed deal of time. It Is not expected now that imi­ tating for candidates will begin before the Fri­ day morning after the convention opens,' Sympathy with an Author. He who would make others weep must first weep himself. Dickens, while writing one of his novels, used to become so interested in the characters that he would laugh and weep with them. Ah ac-qnaintance met Thackeray one morning coming out his house, with eyes tilted with tears. "What is,the matter--lost a friend?" asked the man. "Yes; I've just killed Col. Newcome," answered the novelist, as he hastened away. An author who thus identifies him­ self with the creations of his imagina­ tion is sure of sympathic readers. He will be paid the most flattering of all compliments, that of seeing people taking sides with and ngaiast his char­ acters. Baron Richards, while reading the memorable case ol llardell vs. Pick­ wick, in "Pickwick Papers," became so excited that when ho came to the ver­ dict, he jumped up and, dashing the book into a corner, exclaimed: "What the dickens could Gaselre (the Judge) be about, and the jury? Why the verdict is against evidence, it can't stand!" - Lord Chancellor Thurlow was a coarse, arrogant, profane man, of grout brain and small heart, who had 1 ttlo sympathy with poets or with any one else. He was once reading Milton's descrip­ tion of the war in heave# and of Satan's overthrow. So absorbed did he be­ come in the poet's creation that he ex­ claimed : "A tine fellow, that Satan." If Milton could have heard the ex­ clamation, he might, Puritan as he was, have pardoned the profanity for the sake of the compliment.--Youth's Com­ panion. BURIED IN THE OCEAN.

State of Florida are ended, says a Quebec dispatch. The vessel was su^k April 18 in a ooUision in mid-ocean w .̂h the bark Ponema of Chatham, N, B. Out of 167 per­ sons on board the State of Florida, only forty-four were saved, while of the bark's crew of fifteen only the captain and two- men were rescued. One hundred and twen­ ty-throe souls went down with the steamer and twelve with the bark, making a total loss, of 135. Those saved were picked up by the bark Theresa of Norway. Later twenty-four of them were put on the bark Louisa and brought as far as the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where the Titania, bound from Glasgow to Montreal, was met. The Titania took off twenty-four of the passen- fers and crew rescued from the State of 'lorida, leaving twenty on the bark, which, is now on its way to this port. The following is the official report of the- third officer of the State of Florida: " Left New York April 12, with about 167 passen- Srs and crew, and a full general cargo. 1 went well until the night of the 18th. At 11:30 o'clock we came in collision witlk the bark Ponema, of Chatham, N. B.„ Capt. Hetburn. Both ships went down al­ most instantly, and out of the steamer's passengers and crew only forty-four, includ­ ing the stewardess, managed to escape in the boat, and out of the bark's crew of fif­ teen only the captain and two seamen were saved. The next morning the bark was ob­ served bottom up. The survivors, after be­ ing thirty-five hours in the boats without food or water, were rescued by the Nor­ wegian bark Theresa, of Christiania, bound from that port for Quebee. On the 23d, twenty-four of them were transferred on board the ship Louisa, of and from Cardiff for Quebec, where they remained until May 5, when they were taken on board the Ti­ tania for Quebec. It is believed that 135 lives were lost." The third officer (Jnmes Allen) says that the night on which the disaster occurred was clear, though moonless, and the sea as smooth as glass. He retired to his bunk at 8 o'clock, leaving the chief officer (Thomp­ son) in charge of the deck. About 11:10 he heard a signal suddenly given to stop the steamer's engines, followed by a fearful crash. He rushed immediately on deck, and the first thing he noticed was a red light pretty close to their starboard bow. At the same moment he heard the chief officer's voice and the cry "Collision." He then saw the bark which had run into them go down. This bark, he afterward learned from its captain and two of its crew who-' were saved, was the Ponema, of Chatham. N. B., bound from Liverpool to Mirimichi. Running to the side of his own vessel, he endeavored to ascertain the dam­ age done, and perceiving an immense gap­ ing hole into which the sea was fust pour­ ing, and feeling the steamer was lost, he at once hurried to the captain, Who immedi­ ately gave orders to get out the boats, four of which were down in fifteen minute6, when the State of Florida just keeled over to port and went down stern foremost. Far-, as he could calculate, the disaster occurred about 120 miles off the Irish coast. As the vessel went down, all on deck, in­ cluding the captain, were washed off by the sea. The captain was exceedingly cool--- too cool, in fact, as he did not seem to look upon the danger as serious or pressing; and this, together with the fact that he appeared it) no hurry to save himself, was probably the cause why more of the passengers were not saved. They would not take to the boats, as tlfey supposed,when they saw him so cool, that the danger was not so great. Of the eight boats carried, four were safely launched, and two were smashed by the collision. Of the other two Allen knew nothing, but believed they were washed away when the steamer went down. He did not believe any one had escaped in them. However, if they bad he did not want To raise any false hopes, his opinion being they would never be heard from again. When No. 2 boat was being lowered the tackle was cut too quickly and its occupants, all passengers, were upset into the* sea. A number, including Bennett, of London, Canada, clung to the boat's bottom during the remainder of the night, and were picked up in the morning by the other boats. James Bennett, of London, Ontario, the only first-class passenger saved, says that when the order was given a rush was made- for the boats, and a number of persons, in­ cluding himself, got into boat No. *2. The panic on board the doomed ship was fright­ ful. The lady passengers, of whom there were only three or four, re­ fused to go in the boat. Jane McFar- lane, the stewardess, was only saved from herself and the terrible fate im­ pending by the Belf-sacrifice and gallantry of James Bain, the chief engineer., who lost his life in saving hers. He had to use all his strength to tear her from the deck of the vessel and force her into the boat. At that moment the ship careened to starboard and went down, carrying with her the brave engineer and all the others remaining on board. Bennett was standing so near the side- when the collision took place that had not a friend pulled him away he would have been killed on the spot. The ship's doctor, alongside of him, was injured by a broken spar. The crew all rushed for the bouts. The passengers seemed paralyzed, as did also the captain, who was washed from the- deck just before the vessel went down, within twelve minutes of the time she was struck. Allan, the third officer, was the first to give the alarm £hat the vessel was sinking. Ben­ nett says he pushed a number of friende into one of the boats and jumped in hiin- sel. He complains that the boat had no- water-casks containing water. He added that the City of Rome ignored all the The­ resa's signals, although they were seen quite well, but went on her way unconcernedly, offering no assistance. James Patience, an American seaman, said he was in his bunk when he heard the signals to stop and reverse the steamer's engines. Hte rushed on deck, and saw a light bearing down on their starboard. He heard one of the officers shout "Collision!" This was followed by a terrific crash, and shortly afterward he saw the third officer going to the side with a globe lamp to as­ certain the damage. lie followed, and, looking over, saw a hole about six feet square, through which the water was pour­ ing in volumes. Those on duty at the time remember seeing a red light flash for an instant, fol­ lowed by an instantaneous orash, after which there was nothing but confusion and hurried preparations to launch the boats. The frightened passengers rushed on deck in their night-clothes. Women went into hysterics, and men refused to- move. The women especially - ob­ jected to leaving the doomed vessel, some who could have been easily saved absolutely refusing to budge au inch. Those who- clung to the bottom of the capsized boat all night suffered terribly from the icy-cold water, though the sea was calm. One of their number, a man named Donaldson, was Underneath the Capsized boat until they were picked up by one of the boats in the morning. When she capsized he kept liis hold and went over with her, managing to secure a position above thu bars, where-he- remained talking to himself and monuing, until he swooned. His companions on tho outside were unable to assist him. In the morning, when they were picked up, the bottom oAie boat had to be broken through^ to get him out.
