PURTHEg PARTICULARS OF THE PRINCESS ALICE
| DISASTER.
LONDON, September 4.-The Princess
Alice was long, low river steamer, built
| for excursions down the Thames. OF which
the middle and poorer classes OF Londoners
were very fond. She had saloons on her
| forward and after-decks, and her passen-
ger-earrying capacity was unusually large.
A large proportion OF her passengers last
evening were on the upper or saloon deck,
and must have seen beforehand their inn
pending doom; but those in the stern
OF the steamer had no warning until
they heard and felt the crash, and found
the passengers from the forward part OF the
vessel running to the after part.
| Beyond the fact that the tide was about
| two hours on the ebb, which would enable
the Princess Alice to ease and stop sooner
| than the screw steamer, which would be
borne OIL the tide, it is impossible to disco
yer any OF the circumstances preceding the
collision. Before the boats came in coli-
sion there were cries from one 10 the other
to keep out OF the way, but as usual In such
| cases, the accident was probably due TO q
misundersianGing-the one miSlnterpreting
the intention OF the other. a the rules of
sailing were cast 10 the winds in the mo-
mcnt Of peril, each taking the wrong course
AGAIN REMANDED.

THE GOVERNMENT BLAMED FOR RELEASING
| CONDOR.
! LONDON. September 4.-This afternoons
| PaH- Nal Gozette, in leading article, in
Weighs against the Fcnan Condon'S release
ut the solicitation OF the United States as
unwiSe and un,iigniiied. 1t says: The
pcrtinacity Of the thrice-preferred request
for his release is somewhat disrespectful.
Minister Wels!l's letter borders on the oilen-
Sive, and in places overstcps the line and
approaches the free and easy. II Condon's
health was reason enough for releasing him
be ought to have been released without
American iatcrcession. That intcrcession
| affects the matter only for the worse. Yield
in" to it simply appears 10 establish prin-
ci,Ic that any justly sentenced criminal
who can pretend political motive for his
crime, and can succeed III enlisiing the i'll"
tercession OF sufficiently peitinaciouS Coy
eminent, may count upon the remission OF
sentence for which his leSs-forlunately
placed iellowcOnylct> may petition in vain"
