Wreck of Schooner Stephen Ben

FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.

New YORK, Aug. 2S.-Schooner Stephen
Bennett of Camden, Me-, bottom up, was seen
August Goth, twenty miles southeast of
Phoenix Island by schooner d. j. Lee, which
picked up some spars with rigging attached
near the wreck. The Stephen Bennett was
built at Bucksport, Me-, in 1872. She left
Boston for Baltimore on the 18th inst. in bal
last, intending to make pleasure trip and had
on board Capt. George Bennett, his wife, his
nephew, a young man studying law, and Will
liam Richards, son of George N. Richards, of
Boston. No letter or report has been received
from the schooner since sailing, until the above
report of the wreck. The friends of those who
are supposed to be lost will go on at once to
the scene of the disaster in hopes that the YES
sci may be righted and brought ashore and
some of the dead bodies at least recovered.

THE DOMINION.
The Quebec Council Refuses to Pass the
Supply Bill.

The Quebec Council Refuses to Pass the
Supply Bill.
= QUEBEC, Aug. 2S.-In the Legislative Coun-
Gil last night Hon. Or. Ross moved resolutions
calling upon the Lieut.. Gov. to remove his
ministers and refusing to pass the supply bill,
first because the government has not by econo-
my or retrenchment or by judicious develop
nent of resources made up the deficit, but on
the contrary allowed it to increase, and because
it has not been able to provide ways and means
at the same time to meet the ordinary expen-
diture and obligations already incurred and
payments to become due on public works in
progress. Second, because the government
does not possess sufficient elements of conf
dence and strength to sufficiently administer
the affairs of this province and that the aban-
donment of its chief measures is an avowal
that it is unable to satisfy the requirements of
the country. Mr.. Ross supported his resolutions
by long speech, in the course of which he
cited numerous authorities in justification of
his resolutions.
This afternoon the legislative council threw
out the supply bill by resolution which calls
ON the Lieut. Governor to change his advisers
There is great excitement in political circles as
to the course to be followed by the government
and Lieut.. Governor, and all sorts of rumors
are circulating

outstanding was about S65, 100000 but only
about $3S 100000 remained on deposit with the
National Bank repositories. Over SIG, OOO,0 900 IN
excess of the sum wanted to meet payment OF
the called bonds had been withdrawn Into the
Treasury from the market Ill excess OF tne sum
wanted to meet the payment OF called bonds
with view to closing the loan accounts. AT the
time stated general complaint was made that
this operation was in urously atectingtbuslness,
was advancing the rate of interest, and was I'M
necessarily draining legal-tenders from the mar
ket. To meet this condition of affairs, upon
the advice of the Treasurer at Washington and
the Assistant treasurer at New York, / issued
this order.
Here follows the Secretary's letter of Aug
Is to Secretary Gilfillan, directing the latter
to receive from the depository banks called
bonds in payment of their accounts, with sutfi-
Gent money in addition to meet all demands
for the payment of called bonds SO as to
insure the withdrawal of all deposits on the
loan account before Oct. l.
Mr.. Sherman continued-The statements
that this was done to relieve the banks
help anyone, or that L ever had been
or was interested i'll amy bank are
simply fase-a political sensation. The
reason why the unsettled accounts are with
the First National Bank and the National Bank
of Commerce, New York, is because the Bank
of Commerce made a S40,0O0,000 subscription,
closing the 5-20's, and the First National Bank
made subscription of $121 ,000, 900, closing the
naturally the last drawn upon have received
a statement of balances on the evening OF Sat
urday last, showing that the amount of out
standing called bonds unpaid was then $4S,-
$50, 900. The amount of deposits with national
banks, the proceeds of bonds sold, was $780,
947 900. For all of this the Government is Sc
cured by the deposit of a larger amount of
United States bonds. Where per cent. bonds
are taken as security, an additional margin of
8 per cent. is required. About ten million dol
lars of these bonds are held by Mr.. Conant,
the United States agent in London, for ex-
change, and are daily being paid by the trans
mission of called bonds in ordinary course of
business. None of the outstanding bonds bear
interest. l submit to YOU whether on the 18th
of August it would have been advisable for me
to have continued to drain the money market
of legal tenders and hoard them in the Treasu-
ry to await the presentation of called bonds.
If this course had been adopted the clamor
would have been much louder and much more
just. did exactly right in the order of the
18th of August, and stand by it; and now, un-
der it, the loan accounts are being quickly and
rapidly closed without any disturbance in the
money market If this clamor will only induce
the holders of called bonds to send them in for
payment 1 would be greatly rejoiced.

AN UNEASY FEELING AT LONDON.
Immense Gold Shipments to America.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The Times says Large
amounts of bullion which have been sent
direct from Paris to the United States have,
with shipments from London, had the effect
of strengthening the money market here, but
unless the exports OF bullion reach a volume
sufficient to cause alarm here and IN Parls,
money may not Immediately advance far IN
value. But many accidents may happen, and
the fact that the French market has lately
been flooded with the issue OF multitude OF
more or less unreal, speculative companies,
tends to highten the uneasy feeling still eX-
be sure to end in a sharp and disastrous reac-
ton and the basis of credit become narrowed
thereby. Heavy exports of bullion and any
collapse in France would instantly react on
London"
The Financior says that e17S, 900 of gold is
expected by the steamer due at Southampton
in September. The bulk of this amount,
together with 100000 which recently arriv ed
will probably go to meet the American
demand. great deal more bullion will I'M
doubtedly go to America. In some quarters
it is believed that within a comparatively
brief space g., 600 will be sent there, not
withstanding recent expressions OF opinion to
the contrary. We venture to affirm that the
shipments of bonds and iron, or any other
commodity, will be quite inadequate to settle
for the time the enormous balance which must
be accommodating in respect to American food.
The possible ultimate effect of this draft of
bullion will be raise from 1 to II per cent
the rate of discount now quoted among
brokers, to to 5 per cent. the rate at the
Bank of England during the autumn.
