Loss of the Steamer Emperor.
She Strikes on Seal Island-Passenge
a Saved.

RocKLAND May 29-The steamer Emperor
Capt. w. E. Sulis, from Yarmouth, N. s., fol
Portland, with eighty passengers and small
freight, struck on Eastern Point Ledge, Seal
Island, at half past II o'clock last night. There
was dense fog at the time, and the steamer
struck heavily and began to make water rapid
ly. The passengers were all embarked in the
boats at half past two this morning, at which
time the water had drowned the fires and at
daylight the passengers and crew were safely
landed on Matinicus rock. The steamer had
sunk to the waters edge this morning, and sub
sequently capsized and her upper deck was torn
off. She will undoubtedly be total loss. The
Emperor was six hundred tons burthen, and
was owned by the Yarmouth and Boston Steam
Navigation Company. She was insured for
1000 in Yarmouth companies, and $4,000 in
st. John companies. The passengers brought
nothing from the wreck but the clothes they
stood in. A small fishing schooner was char
tered to bring tbs officers and part of the pas
sengers to this city, where she arrived at about
half past one this afternoon, and has returned
for the remainder. Capt. j. Fl. Grant, light
keeper at Matinicus Rock, showed every at
tention in his power to the unfortunate passen-
gers and crew of the steamer, and they speak
strongly in his praise. The Emperor was re-
built last winter in st. John, at an expenses of
$4,000 She was making her second trip for
the season.

The Fish and Salt Dealers ON the Supple
mental Article.

BOSTON, May 29.-The association Of New
England fish and salt dealers at a full meeting
adopted the following preamble and resolu-
tons:
Whereas, it seems probable that the British
and United States governments by adopting the
SO called supplemental article to the Washing
ton Treaty will establish principle of supple
mental law which the United States govern
ment hoped would have been established by ar
bitration at Geneva; and
Whereas, there seems to be no other obsta-
Gle to prevent the carrying out of the Washing
ton Treaty, therefore,
Resolued, That heartily approving the course
pursued by the United States, we earnestly
urge upon our national Legislature the import
ance of at once enacting the necessary laws to
carry the fishery claims of the treaty into eff
feet as provided for in article 80 of the said
treaty in order that any fisherman may without
further delay be able to make arrangements for
the prosecution of the fisheries without risk OF
interference on the coasts of the British Prov
inces.
ResotUed, That copies of the resolutions be
sent to our Representatives in Congress.

PROF. TRIP delivered in Fluent Hall last
evening the first of his descriptive series in this
city. The lecturer observed in commencing
that his aim in the preparation of the lectures
he was privileged to deliver in Portland, had
been higher one than to furnish merely liter
airy entertainment. The purpose was by rigorous
research united with personal knowledge to
reproduce and portray the scenes and events as
they actually occurred, and thus place the aud
itor in the position to form his own Judgment
The subject of the evening was the Paris Revo-
luton of February, 1848. The lecturer sketch
ed the remote and immediate causes of the cat
astrophe, by tracing the influence of the great
French writers of the XVIlIth century through
sequent French revolution of 1889, the great
drama of modern Europe; the Titan struggle of
Napoleon with the Allied Powers; his over
throw; the restoration under Louis XVIII. and
his successor, Charles x; the accession of Louis
Philippe in 1880, as the citizen King, and his
abdication and flight in 1S4S.
The lecturer arrived in Paris in the winter of
1847, in time, not only to witness the thrilling
drama, but the immediate and rapid events
that ushered in the grand catastrophe He was
in the Chamber of Deputies during most ex-
citing scene of that mercurial body, was wedg-
ed into the mob at fearful charge upon it by
the military, and otherwise most favorably sit
uated for lasting impression.
The principal part of the lecture was vivid
description of the revolutionary scenes at the
abdication and flight of Louis Philippe; the
reform banquets; the exaltation of the Partisan
press; the fierce struggle in the Chamber of
Deputies the bloody massacre in front of the
Foreign Office; the erection of barracades; the
abdication and flight of the King, and the vicis-
STUDIES of the Royal family were all sketched
with the lecturers well-known graphic power
of description. .u s'-
One of the most touching episodes narrated
was the appearance of the Duchess of Orleans
with her two children in the Chamber of Dep
uties, amid the fierce excitement of the reek-
ing mob. Is
The above is the merest outline of the lee
ture which commanded the closest attention of
the intelligent audience throughout and to be
appreciated, must be heard.
The second lecture, "The Terrific Counter
Revolution of june" following that of Februa-
ry and the most dramatic part of the revolution
of 184S, will be delivered on Friday evening of
this week.
