THE METROPOLIS DISASTER.
An Opinion by tho Treasury Solicitor no
nectIng on the LIZ saving Service.

WASHINGTON. July 3l.-An opinion has
been prepared by the Solicitor of the Treasury
in the case of the sinking of the steamer Me-
tropois. and by him submitted 10 the Secretary
Of the Treasury. This opinion declares that
the owners Of the Metropolis are not liable in
civil damages for the results OF this wreck and
reflects rather severely upon the life saving
service. This has created some STIR at the
Treasury Department. rs II is remembered that
an entirely opposite opinion TO this had been
prepared. but that 1t had been suppressed
through the influence of Mr.. Lunt the owner
of the Metropolis. Tho second opinion is said
by Senator Poole. It was then copied by
clerk and sent up TO the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
