The law of Illinois has fixed the
rates for passenger fare on the different
railroads within the borders of the
state. The people Of Illinois are law
abiding people. They desire to obey
the railway laws, but tho railway cor
porations will not allow them to do so.
The other day at Harristown, near De-
catur, eight men entered the cars of
the Toledo and Wabash railway oom-
pany, for the purpose Of going to Deca-
tur. They offered the legal fare Of two
and oDe-hslf cents Per mile, out the
conductor refused to take it, demand
ing q greater rate. He stopped his
train and elected some Of the men aud
intimidated the rest % that they paid
his demand. Brakes1en and others
were called upon to uss force in eject
ing the passengers. Here is another
case for Senator Whiting and the Leg
islature, for the courts and the people.
Who breaks the laws and who shall
suffer? There 10 nothing more certain
than that there 10 70 be . speedy solu-
ton Of this question Of supremacy.

Disastrous Shipwrecks.

"A terrible marine disaster occurred
IN the English Channel on the 22nd,
Jan. The emigrant ship Northfiset
which sailed from London for Austria.
liza, with 4l2 passengers, exclusive of
her crew, was run into off Dungeness
lighthouse by an unknown steamship,
and was cut down to the wate's edge.
No attention was paid to the emigrant
vessel by the steamship, which pro-
ceeded on her course, leaving the un-
fortunate ship to her fate. The
collision happened at dead of night,
and panic occurred among the pass
engers, who, reused from their sleep
by the shock, rushed wildly from their
berths, and uttA:.y refused to obey the
command of the captain, who, to COM
pei obedience, was obliged to fire upon
the terror-stricken crowd. Three
hundred and twenty-ons persons were
drowned, including the captain Of the
i'll. .fated vessel. The name of the
steamer which ran into the ship was
not at first known, but has since been
discovered to be the Spanish ship,
Pelayo, from Antwerp to Havana.
Another ocean disaster has probably
occurred. A vessel the Himalsya,
which left England an the End Jau.
for Halifax, with 800 British troops,
has not since been heard from, and 1t
is feared that she went down in mid
ocean with all on board.
