That Terrible Disaster.

AAeh A~AAADAS 0aceoeSAs
London, Sept. 6.-Inquiry into the
facts of the terrible disaster to the
Princess Alice, develop that the acci-
dent occurred on the Thames near the
gas works of London. The Bywell
Castle approached in an opposite direc-
tion and struck the Princess Alice amid
ships, cutting her in two. In five min
utes the boat sank in deep water.
Small boats put out to the rescue as
the river for hundred yards was full
of drowning people, screaming in an
guish and praying for help, and as it
was growing dark then not much could
be done. 1t is believed that not more
than $50 persons escaped out of the
800 aboard the vessel. i-if ~
The cause Of the Princess Alice dis.
aster is believed to be that both vessels
were rounding a sharp bend in the
river, caused by the projection of a
point of land, whereon the powder
magazine of the. Woolwich arsenal is
situated. In order to turn this point
the Princess Alice had crossed over to
the right bank of the river, and was
thus out of her proper course. Her
lights were probably obscured by the
shadow Of the powder magazine, and
being much smaller and lower than the
Bywell Castle, the latter was upon heI
before danger was perceivable.

THE following is the beautiful prayer
prepared by the House of Bishops:
Almighty God, our refuge and strength
in time of trouble, give ear to our
prayer in behalf of Thy people, who are
at this time suffering under grevious
sickness and mortality, and hide not
Thy favor from them in this season of
their distress. Remember them in
mercy, not in wrath. and stretch forth
Thy mighty hand to stay this pesti-
lence. Heal the sick and deliver them
not over unto de ath. Cover with the
shield Of Thy protection all those who
are exposed to danger; comfort the be-
reaved and desolate; give to them that
are sorrowful beauty for ashes, oil of
joy for mourning, and garment of
praise for spirit Of heaviness. Bestow
blessings on those at home and
abroad. Minister relief to the afflicted,
sancitifying the visitation to the good
of this whole nation; humbling our
hearts binding us in sympathy, one
with another, and by Thy grace making
us people-serving God, working right
eousness, so may we to honor Thy
name and extol Thy mercy, through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen."

a partial abolition of the Mexican free
zone will be of advantage to the reve-
nues of this country. The Treasury
Department has long had information,
but has never been able to obtain exact
proof that an extensive system of SNUG
Cling is carried on between England
and the United States through the
Mexican free zone. The method of
operations is to send parts of cargoes
to New Orleans, shipped through to
Matamoras, which is free port, under
the law allowing foreign goods to pass
over our territory in bond. Those
goods are transported to Matamoras,
and our Consul there certifes 10 their
receipt. This releases the bond, and
the next day the very same goods are
brought back across the Rio Grande
and smuggled into the United States.

mously deposed Bishop McCoskrey
with one whereas and one resolution,
as follows:
WHEREAS, Bishop McCoskrey has
abandoned his diocese and left the ter
ritory Of the United States while grave
allegations existed, thereby declining
to promote investigation of the allega-
tions against his character; and
Whereas, No action of the said Bish-
op in said premises, which action he
has himself invoked, can make effec-
tive his voluntary resignation, relin-
quishment and abandonment of his
sacred Office, except by his deposition
from the same; therefore, be it
Resolued, That Samuel Allen Nc
Croskey is hereby deposed from the
sacred ministry and from all offices

hereby requested and authorized to
pronounce and record sentence of de-
position and give due notice thereof.

The Grand Central hotel at Omaha
took fire this evening at 8 O'Clock, and
the flames spreading rapidly, communi-
Gated to the adjoining buildings and
soon envolped them in flames. The
building was soon consumed owing to
the scarcity of water. The Herald

No Honest Men East of New York The
Utcs Becoming warlike.
Wsshing' Oh, May 22.-The coucern over
agement Of Indian affairs still continue in
the Indian bureau. 1t is evident that the
commissioner is bidding pretty high to
keep the eastern journals silent as to the
mismanagement OF his bureau affairs aud 10
publish favorable reports in every possible
instance. It should not be forgotten in this
connection that Hayt was largely indebted
for his appointment as commissioner to the
fact-thst as member Of the old board of
commissioners be opposed the letting OF
contracts for beef, cattle, q ,ur, and olher
western products in Chicago and st Louis.
insisting on their being let in New York.
hayt actually stated during the dispute
that there were no honest men in those
western cities, and that it would q, be safe
for one to offer bids there wit thou, being
backed with his revolver. This ardent
loyalty to the New York ring. the most
shrcwd and corrupt ever known, at length
secured him his appointment as commits
sioner, and they of course will do all ,ha;
they can for his defense in the New York
papers. They begin this little game by
calling attention to the frauds in the
northwest saying nothing Of the frauds con-
stantly going on in the principle ring in New
York. The latest item of news 10 stir up
the bureau is the intelligence received to-.
day Of the deplorable state or affairs among
the Ute Indians Of Colorado. They are on
the verge OF open rebellion against the gov.
ernment. They have complained Of bad
treatment for nearly eight months Army
officers have justified their complaints, and
clearly pointed out practicable remedy.
The reports Of army officers on this case
have been singularly full and clear, some
times accompanied by maps, showing the
exact position as to reservations, camps, etc.
They have all the while testified to the dan
gerous temper in which the Indians have
been placed by bad treatment. Their re-
ports until very recently were utterly un-
needed. A short time ago commission Of
two civilians and an army officer was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter. There ia
no possible excuse for this delay of several
months in inquiring into the abuses which
from the present aspects may at any moment
result in an Indian war in Colorado and
N.w Mexico. The Utes are powerful ma
ton, there being over three thousand in COL
orado, and some two Thousand in New Mex
leo. II they resolve on war, as is now prob
able, they would cause great bloodshed and
expense, and II this takes place il is admit
ted on all hands that the Indian bureau and
that aloEe will be to blame. II is wholly
chargeable to negligence in the Indian office,
against which senators, repre- and
private citizens have iu vain protested for
months. S'4

can see no reason why the great corn crop
of Illinois should not all be planted in good

wheat in southern Illinois seems to be
alarming the farmer. As we work further
north in the winter wheat belt we find less
