Collision Between the Steamers
Ocean Wave and Long Branch
SaNDy HooK Dec.

Y SANDY Hook Dec. y, 1901.
The steamers Ocean Wave and Long
Branch came in collision this afternoon at
Sandy Hook. The Wave@was bound to New
York, and the Long Branch to Ocean Port
and Shrewsbury. The Wave put her. freight
on one side and saved the boat from going
down. The Long Branch was the most dam
aged, and it was with great difficulty that she
proceeded on her way.
The conclusion was so great that the pas
sengers on both boats were thrown off their
feet and many badly bruised. Among the in
jured is Col. VIM. Jones, of the Highlands;
feaeed to be dangerously: a dense fog pre-
vailed at the timero Of the disaster. The ope-
rator of the Sandy Hook telegraph station
heard the fog bells ringing, and being near the
shore, almost Immediately afterwards heard the
crash of the boats as they came together. The
passengers throw no blame. on the officers o.
the boats.

with reference to Kansas. Secretary STANTON,
in accordance with the well known convictions
which he shares-with Gov. Walker. having ac-

of the people Of Kansas, and called the new
Territorial Legislature to meet at Lecompton
last Monday (four weeks in advance of the
regular time of meeting) in order to give legal
shape to the general resistance to the bogus
Convention, its Constitution and Calhoun reg

Excitement in Kansas.

The Freemen OF Kansas are moving with a
unanimity. and determination, that cannot fail
to convince Mr.. Buchanan and his Southern
Fire Eating allies, that they must not attempt
to force upon them the Constitution lately got
up by the bogus Convention of Southern Pro-
Slavery men.
In order that our readers may know some
thing of the feeling in Kansas, we copy from
the ! \. Y. Tribune, the following Preamble and
Resolution. which was unanimously passed at
a very large meeting Of the Young Mems Con
~vention, held in Leayenworth on the 23d ut:
Whereas, A body Of usurpers, representing
no interest and clothed with no authority, save
the interest of Slavery and the authority of
usurpation, have had the audacity to frame a
State Constitution and to dictate terms to the
free people of this territory; and, aohereas, by
these tersls Ne are presented the alternative of
slayish submission or open reputation; and,
aoAercas, these usurpers we're electeo 10 Ithe
Constitutional Convention, by a mlseraole MI
nority of the citizens of Kansas, wien minorl-
ty was repudiated in October, by oyes thirteen
thousand freemen; and, whereas, it appearing
that the Usurpationists are resolved on over
riding the will of the people, and ~trampling
their dearest rights under foot; therefore, be it
resolved, by the Young Men of L~eavenworth in
convention assembled:
First: That the time has come when silence
is objectionable and apathy criminal. That
we not only protest against the action of the
late Lecompton Robber Convention, and repu-
date with loathing and scorn the bastard in
strument, by it drafted, ironically termed a
Constitution for the State of Kansas, but that
in the corrupt and reckless members of that
odious body of usurpers we recognize disturb
ers of the public peace, enemies to the public
good, and foes to every right or liberty by free
men priced, that here we proclaim an undying
hostility to the aforementioned Constitution,
and assert our determination to resist its en-
forcement upon us as the organic law of the
land; and if Congress prove so recreant to its
palpable duty, and SO false to our inalienable
rights as to side and cooperate with these, our
|~tyrants and oppressors, in their high-handed at
tempt to riyet the curse of Slavery upon our
virgin soil, consecrated to Freedom by the God
of nations. and the overwhelming sentiment of
our people, we will feel not only in justice au-
thorized, bat in duty bound, 10y every right we
hold most sacred, by every liberty we cherish,
by every obligation resting upon US as men and
freemen, to let the world know that we were
not born to be enslaved, and that oppressors
cannot goad us too far without feeling, and
that keenly too, the terrible vengeance Of q
wrouged and outraged people.

The DoNNELLY CAsE.-The argument be-
fore the Court Of Errors in the case of James
P. Donnelly. was concluded on Saturday. 1t
is substantially the same as that before the
Supreme Court, no new points being raised -
The decision of the Court will be given to-mor-
row morning, at 10 O'clock. We clip from an
exchange, the following
!" The Newark Mercury is informed by a
person from Monmouth County that great in
terest is there manifested in the case of DON
nelly convicted of the murder of A. S. Moses
at the Highlands. While many desire to see
him suffer the penalty of the law. Others as ear
nestly desire his escape. The ladies of Free
hold, are said, to be particularly active in Don
nelly's behalf-and some are confident that he
will escape the hangman. The informant of
ss,h,e Mercury however, does not conceive this to
be possible
So far as we are able to judge, or can as
certain, the above article is incorrect in every
particular, and especially in regard to the in
terestsdisplayed by the ladies. If they are SO
very active in his behalf, it is surprising that
nobody in this neighborhood is aware of it.

Yours, truly,
TELEGRAPH.

PAY OF MEMBERS OF CoNGREss.-The mem
bers of the new Congress will probably draw
nine months pay on the meeting of the first
session, next week. The members of the House
are salaried at $4,000 per annum. The term
of the present Congress dates from the 4th Of
March last, and the construction put upon the
law is, that three-fourths the first year of the
term will be payable, if demanded, on the
commencement of actual service, the first
Monday in December. Ifso, the treasury will
be drawn upon at once for $500, 600 or $780,
900 for this object
