HUDSON, April 8, 1916.

The disaster on The river.-Exertions have
been made all day TO recover the bodies of the
drowned passengers OF the steamboat Swallow,
and the result has been the recovery OF FIVE
more, all females, making in all eleven. Four
were taken from the boat, and one from the
river, short distance from the wreck. With
the exception of the latter, who appears 10 be
about so years, they appear to be all between
40 and so years of age. Two have been recog-
nized by their friends one, a Mrs Coffin, Of
West Troy, and the other Mrs Walker, of
New York. On the person Of one other of
the ladies was found a card on which was writ
ten in pencil Mrs Skidmore,' and in her pock-
ct handkerchief marked with indelible ink,
III. Conklin.' The body is supposed to be
that of Mrs Conklin, of Bennington.
We learn that in the pockets of the young
man recovered yesterday, there was found a
handkerchief marked Sarah Brundage., n
large roll OF bank bills, and memorandum for
the purchase OF hardware. II is presumed he
was Western merchant proceeding to New
York TO purchase goods.
On Mrs Walker, whose body was found to
day, there was a pocket book containing a
large sum OF money. Her husband recognized
her by miniature OF himself attached 10 a
gold chain, which she wore around her neck.
Mr. Walker, we understand, is a merchant of
New York, who has been on collecting tour
~ the western country Tor some months past.
The scene before the coroner's jury to-day was
exceedingly affecting, especially when Mr.
! Walker gave his testimony over the body of
his iieless wife. He said he could have saved
her, and was urging her on towards the forward
part Of the boat, when the Captain came up to
him and said, be easy, there's no danger.' He
released his hold of his wife's arm, and no
sooner had he done this than the water rushed
i in, and she was swept beyond his reach.
i Mrs Coffin who was found to day, is the
mother OF MI George Coffin Of West Troy,
those recovered yesterday. They have nu-
merous relatives in this city, Mr. Coffin by this
disaster, has met with adoube loss.
When we left the wreck, at O'Clock, p. M.
the tide had risen too high for further search in
IL; a number oimen in boats were graphing
in the river.

loss Of life which have expressed above, are
fully realised. Several females were seen to be
washed off by the water as it rose above the
guards, and all, il is thought, could not have
escaped from the cabin. Several on board our
boat have nothing but their night dresses.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

We continue our extracts from the newspa-
pers of the day, on the subject of Annexation.
1t will be seen from some of the Northern Re-
publican journals, that Federalism is resolved
upon dissolution of the Union, in the event of
Annexation. We embrace this occasion to say
that in the event of such an attempt in such a
contingency, that we shall be as ready to advo-
cate such vigorous measures as the Executive
may find it necessary to employ in the enforce
ment of the law, as we would be to condemn
and oppose any State, and any party, that
might attempt TO sever the Union, should Texas
not be annexed: .u. He

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.

Without desiring to miDge in the discussion of the
Texan question, in far as the subject may be le
Ultimately considered in party light, we must be
permitted 10 express views upon those points OF
the controversy which have universal application
such as effect the whole country as sovereignty
and involve the character of the entire people as
distinct and confederaed mass. Leaving to the good
sense of the country to discriminate between the
great reasons adduced by whg and democrat for and
against anne xation, cannot but protest against one
sci of arguments, come they from what side they
may, which defers the action Of the United States
Government to the opinion policy of any or all OF
the European monarchies. That our citizens should
differ upon the policy of annexng Texas to the Uni
ted States, is what might be expected; that many
might suppose that measure, under existing circum-
stances, violation of our treaties with Mexico,
and Others oppose it upon the broad and naked
grounds of public good understood by them is
neither wonderful nor alarming but that the dread
of Great Britain, France or Russia-one all of
them should for moment disturb the delibera-
tons Of Congress, or in any way modify popular OPT
Mon respect to it, the whole people in an
important point.
MIR. Pakenham, the British Minister at Washing
ton gave the American Secretary of State to under
stand last summer, that IL annexation were consum.
mated by the United States Government, England
would take the matter seriously to heart. This is
about the substance of quasi threat, delicately
enough thrust between the signing Of the treaty and
the action of the Senate upon it, Though we are
proud TO believe that this nterposton upon the part
of the English Minister did not change or influence a
single vote in the Senate, yet the possibility of rup
ture with Europe has been and is yet urged in some
quarters reason why The American people should
hesitate to do that which might Otherwise be cons
dered proper to be done. To any such contingency
being insisted upon sufficient to arrest the purposes
Of this confederacy, think We have right, com
mon to all American citizens, to object.
Admitting hat apart from the displeasure Of Great
Britain, annexation would be a wise, salutary, and
necessary measure, what weight should her protest
have with American legislators Does Great Br-
tain want Texas herselfl or in what way is she so
concerned in the fate Of our negotiations as to be in
