: A despatch from Hastings announces that the
North German Lloyd's steamship Baltimore. which
arrived at southampton yesterday en- route from
Baltimore for Bremen, and subsequently sailed for
her destination, has met with disaster which will
probably cause her total loss.
At twelve O'Clock last night, when the Baltimore
was of the town OF Hastings, she came In collision
with an unknown steamer, and had a hole eighteen
feet long and seven feet wide stove in her hull
The water poured in rapidly and extnguished the
lres-not however before the steamer had been
run aground. The coast guards at Hastings i'm
mediately came to the relief OF the distressed
sell and succeeded In rescung her passengers and
crew and landing them In safety
When the Baltimore went ashore she ran on a
rock, and 1t Is probable Will go to pieces.
TIE STEAMSHIP BALTIMORE.
The steamship Baltimore Is owned by the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company, which for years
has had line running between New York and Bre-
men, and year or two ago established one be-
tween the latter port and Baltimore The Baltl-
more was built by Laird & Co., of Greenock, in
1867. Her hull Is Of iron, and she registered 2,344
tons. She sailed from Baltimore for Bremen on the

elected President resolution was offered that
no olicc-holdcr should be chosen as delegate to
the Philadelphia Convention, but was rejected.
TWO delegates from each Congressional district
were appointed to the Philadelphia Convention.
The resolutions adopted recite the prosperity Of
the country, the reduction OF the public debt, the
maintenance OF peaceful relations at homo and
abroad the economical administration OF the gOvs
ernnent and the integrity OF public officials favors
lhe continued reduction OF taxation, the gradual
payment OF the public debt Grants civil service re-
lorm, the restoration OF good will In the recon-

Club, decided upon to have representative
American chorus selected from aboriginal ele-

the jubilee, and now that Mr.. Gilmore's life is

The Shakespeare Monument.

In spite of tie threatening state Of the
weather yesterday an immense number Of
people attended tho Inauguration Of the
statue to Shakespeare i'll Central Park. For
years the public have looked forward with
impatience to the time when the American
people would possess some visible proof Of the
affection and esteem in which they hold the
memory of the great dramatist. There are
some men who, by force OF genius outgrow
the narrow sympathies of nationality and are
never looked upon but as benefactors Of man
kind. Among those world teachers none have
achieved nobler or wider fame than the
obscure Bard Of Avon. BY the mere force of
giant intellect he rose from an humble sphere
to become the teacher and painter of mankind,
With q marvellous instinct he seemed TO read
the human heart to be able to lay bare its
inner workings. In his writings we have
Eynopsis Of the history of mankind. To honor
such man is peculiarly fitting on the part
Of the American people, who boast with
good reason their freedom from national preju-
qices. 1t is all the more honorable to our
nation that monument to great
III
moment when political feeling runs high,
and even the best-balanced minds of
both nations are disturbed by serious contro-
versy. Such an event cannot fail to have a
significance for the outer world, and will be
proof Of the greatness and magnanimity of our
people But beyond this it will serve to
stimulate the cultivation Of intimate and
generous relations between peoples, by teach
ing them that mere geographical definitions
form no real barrier to kindly sympathy or
generous appreciation, and that the aim Of all
human endeavor ought to be directed towards
the advancement of the interests Of human
ity. Whatever tends to break down the bar
riers erected by ignorance and prejudice, and
expands our hearts by widening our syInpa-
thies, deserves support and encouragement
And we hope that this statue to Shakespeare
will not be the last tribute erected by Ameri-
cans to the great men who have labored to
enlighten and elevate mankind.
