RocKLAND, Me-, May 29.-The steamer EN-
peror, Capt W. Z. SulIs, from Yarmouth, N.
s., for Portland, with eighty passengers and
small freight, struck on Eastern Point Ledge,
Seal Island, at halfpast eleven o'clock last
night. There was an intense fog at the time
and the steamer struck heavily, and began to
make water rapidly. The passengers were all en-
barked in boats at 28O this morning, at which
time the water had drowned the fires, and at
daylight the passengers and crew were safely
landed on Martinicus rock. The steamer had
sunk to the waters edge to-day, and suisse
quently capslzed, and her upper deck was torn
off, She will undoubtedly be a total loss.
The Emperor was 600 tons burthcn, and was
owned by the Yarmouth and Boston steam nav
igatlon company; insured for S25 900 in Var
mouth companies and $4,000 in st. John compa-
MES.
The passengers brought nothing from the
wreck but the clothes they stood in. small
fishing schooner was chartered to bring the off
GERS and part of the passengers to this city,
where she arrived about 80 this afternoon,
and has returned for the remainder.
Capt. /, IL. Grant, light keeper at Martinicus
rock, showed every attention in his power to
me unfortunate passengers and crew Of the
steamer, and they speak strongly in his praise

The strike for the eight hour rule appears TO
he extending to all trades and laborious ocCu-
patious The workingmen propose to issue adj
dresses to the people explaining the necessity
for the present movement and iustilying their
course. 1t is also in contemplation to form a
league among the piano makers, and that dele
gates get from the workingmen in their respec-
tive shops, fifteen cents month, all money thus
collected TO be deposited with general treas
urer and used in support of general movement
for the advantage in the trade. Messrs. Stein
way say they will not yield TO present demands.
They are willing, however, to agree to nine
hours work, and the present rates, or ten hours
and ten per cent advance. Their worxmen this
afternoon refused to accept the compromise,
and mostly joined the strikers cause.
The tin and slate rooiers and cornce makers
met tonight and resolved 10 strike for eight
hours on Monday. The pattern-makers have
nearly succeeded in their strike, all the large
shops having given in. The marble-cutters
report the men in twenty-five shops working at
eight hours, and none now working at ten
hours Other trades in the strike report favor
ably.

MADRID, May 2S.-Thc cause Of the fail of

tation of the budget il was found that twenty
Million dollars had been diverted from the COLI
onlai TO the Interior department. On being
called upon to explain, Sagdsta said that the
money was used in the secret service. The reply
was unsatisfactory, and the particulars were
demanded. SaGasta finally declared that the
money was used by the police spy department,
and produced records to show how the money
was spent. These records consist of letters of
poliuclatis deputies and generals, and Of reports
of their movements. Whether these records are
true or false, it is the most wonderful exhibit
ever made by any government

DO NOT OVERLOOK VITAL ISSUES.

There is danger of the people of Tennes-
see overlooking some of the most vital
questions involved in the present contest
Every effort is being made and will be
| made to divert their attention from the
mismanagement and corruption of the
party in power, by raising issues of little
or no present importance. The paid tools of
the ring that has robbed the people of mil
lions in the disposition Of certain railroads
will raise great hue and cry about matters
that are of little or no concern to the gem
eral public, hoping thereby to prevent an
outraged people from realizing the enormi-
ties of their swindling operations. We
trust that the people will exercise their
own views of common sense, and that all
these men may have to say will be of no
avail. We trust that the voters-the tax
payers-will inform themselves in relation
to the acts of this Tennessee Tammany,
and will hold the present Democratic
State Government to a rigid accountability
for permitting, conniving AT and partici-
pating in schemes whereby the people
have been robbed of millions. We use
the term "robbed, !" with full knowledge
of its import, as it is the only word that
expresses the character of the schemes
originated in this behalf, and carried
out for the sole purpose of putting
money in the pockets of its authors
There are men confined within the walls
of the State penitentiary to-day, who are
tIv supeIiors or OF these tiringers,'
in every virtue that adorns the moral char
acter and yet we are expected to support
men and keep them in office, who, either
from want of capacity, or by reason ola cor
rupt purpose, ARE the fast friends and supple
tools of these same swindling.schemers who
have grown rich upon our misfortunes.T They
expect to do this under the discipline
brought about by the use of the party lash.
1t is the only way they can do it. Will
the people submit to this party dictation,
used for the benefit of the ring, or will they
resolve to throw off the burdensome yoke
and place men in Office who are honest,
and who will not act as the ready agents of
ring engaged in the nefarious work of
accomplishing our financial ruin?
