Of December. says:
The ship Fri Mountain, from New York ar
rived at Cardiff early this morning with the
intelligence of q dreadful disaster to the
steamship Villu du liavre, which left New
\ ork, Nov 18th for llayre, in command Of
Capt. Surmount. At 2 o'clock OIL the morn
ing of the 22d, the Vile du llavre came in
contact with the British ship Loeb Erne from
London for New York, and sunk shortly att
er. Two hundred and twenty-siy persons on
the Vile du IIavre were lost. The Tri Noun
tain saved 81 passengers and brought them
Ia Cardiff
The Vile du llayre was struck amidships by
the Loeb Erne and sunk in twelve minutes
after the collision. The Loeb Erne immcdi-
ately lowered her boats, which rendered all
the service possible by them. 80 OF the crow
were saved including the captain and these 20
TO make up the eighty seven saved. Among
the passengers rescued are ten women.
DETAILS OF THE COLLISION.
The following additional particulars of the
loss, have been gathered from the passengers
ef the lost vessel. at Cardiff: The ilavre eN-
perieneed a thick fog until the 10th. AT the
time of the collision the weather was clear
and little wind blowing, but there was u
heavy sea. The captain had just retired and
the III officer was in charge. The lights on
the steamer were all right, The collision was
wholly unexpected. The Lech Ern struck
the steamship amdships and made chasm

at the time was lat AZ II, long. 10 81. Panic
took possession of the passengers. Five min
utes after the collision the main and mizzen
masts fell across the two large boats which
were filled with people and ready for launch
ing. The boats were crushed to pieces and
mand many Of the occupants killed and in
iured. In The brief interval between the coli
lislon and the sinking OF the steamer, the
crew were able to launch only "A whale boat
and the captains gig. The Loeb Erne went
mile before stopping. She then got out four
boats to pick up the people struggling in the
water. Meanwhile the whale beat, under the
commnnd OF the "a lieut.. OF the lavre, pick
ed up one load OF those clinging to planks,
spar,, ect, and took them TO the Loeb Ernc.
one returned to the scene and rescued aueth.

quarters Of au hour after the collision. One

and was hauled on board with a rope, The
boats continued to search the waters in the
vicinity OF the disatter until there was no
hope OF saving more lives. The cold was in
tense. Many OF the survivors were immersed

THE OPPOSITION TO WILLIAMS.

THE OPPOSITION TO WILLIAMS.
Tho opposition TO Williams does net
abats. 1t has reached proportions form
idsble enough to put the White House
lobby on the qui vive, and much feeling
is being worked on the subject All pos
sible pressure will be brought by the
President to bear to crush the opposition,
and it is generally believed that Williams
will be confirmed, despite the opposition
of a considerable body Of Administration
Senator's, headed by Pratt of Indiana. In
this connection the unpleasant scandals
concerning Mrs. Williams are brought
out in force. Williams, as Is well known,
divorced his present wife from her former
husband when he, Williams, was = Judge
in Oregon. 1t is also stated that son
of Mrs W., by former husband, is
serving term in the penitentiary These
are known facts, but they affect the ladys
character only by implication. But there
are other stories which are more direct
Eldrdgc Of Wisconsin tells one without

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The policy inauguratcd towards the
Indians at the beginning OF the last ad-
mihistration has been steadily pushed,
and | believe with beneficial results. 1t
Will be continued with such notifications
as experience may demonstrate to be nee
essary. With the encreachment Of civil
lzation upon the Indian reservations and
hunting grounds, disturbances have ia
ken place between the Indians and whites
during the past year, and probably will
continue to do so until each race appre
ciate that the other ha. rights which must
be respected, The policy has been 10
collect the Indians AS rapidly as possible
oa reservations, and as far as practicable
within what is known us the Indian Ter
ritory, and to teach them the arts Of civ
llizatien and self support. When found
OH their reservations, and endangering
the peace and safety OF the whites, they
have been punished, and will continue to
be for Ike Offences.
THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The Indian Territory south of Kansas
and west of Arkansas is sufficient in area
and agricultural resources to support all
the Indians OF the Rocky mountains In
time, NO doubt, all OF them except few
vino may elect to make their homes
among white people will be collected
there. As preparatory step for this
consunmalion l am now satisfied that q
form OF government should be given
them, which will secure the treaty rights
Of the original settlers and protect their
homestoads from alienation for period
of twenty years,
