Some of the committee are in favor of allowing the matter of counting the electoral vote to remain just as it is now.

A Steamer WreCked-The Montana Goes
 Ashore in a FOg-The Passengers
 Rescued - Admirable Conduct i'm
 Danger
 LONDON, March 1.-The steamer Montana, of the Guion line, went ashore on the rocks in Church Bay, coast of Wales, at o'clock yes terday morning. There is but little prospect of saving the vessel, although the captain and crew remain by 1t, exerting their utmost to rescue 1t from its perilous position. The steamer touched at Queenstown Friday and was on her way to Liverpool when the disaster occurred. A dense fog in the Channel caused the officers to lose their bearings and turned the ship from it's course. A terrific crash was the first warning the sleeping passengers had of impending danger. Fortunately the sea was not high, and with the exception of the fog the weather was in every way favorableto the rescue of the passengers. Owing to the inaccessible nature of the place 1t was some hours before assistance could arrive and the landing could be accomplished The nearest point of the coast is only approach
 able by an inland road, the nearest railway station being eight miles distant. On account of the difficulties of transportation the captain decided to send the mails and passengers by steamer to Holyhead. A tug brought them to Liverpool, with delay of only few hours, resulting from the accident. There wers twenty passengers, the usual amount of mail mat ter and 8 full cargo on board. Persons who have examined the position of the ves- sel declare there is no chance of its being saved. It Is ashore on the mainland with list to port of about twenty degrees. The fore compartment of the ship is fall of wa ter, but it is ahoat aft, not sufficiently so, however. to allow of its being worked of l the rocks. This part of the vessel Is in sound condition, but is becoming more and
 more strained every hour. Should stormy weather occur the Montana would have to be abandoned to it's fate.
 The following is 8 passenger's account of the disaster: The night Qast night) was beau tifully clear until midnight, when fog rose.
 At half past three o'clock this morning, when the Montana struck, Captain Gadd and Second Officer O'Neil were on the bridge. Striking with heavy grating the sound aroused the
 saloon passengers. Dr. Gairdner, who ran on deck, was told by the captain to arouse the passengers. The boats were at once got out. There WAS no confusion and not the slightest
 panic, the captain telling the passengers that if they quietly obeyed orders all would be right Six females, with Third Officer Will

Fatal Encounter Between Cousins,
 MACON, March 14.-A terrible tragedy oc- cured here yesterday. James Roberts and Sol. Roberts, cousins, met on Third street. James called Sol. aside. They were observed to speak e1citedly together. Both drew pis- tols, when James stepped back and Sol. fol- lowed, with has left hand extended, saying. sDon't '. don't don'ti'' James shot at the third word, the ball entering Sops fore head, killing him instantly. James was ar rested on the spot by the police. As the shot was fired Sol. endeavored to catch the pistol. The cause was an old family feud. There was no particular quarrel between the two young men engaged. In 1858 Jackson Roberts, the father of Sol, killed his own brother, ''Gus." He was tried and sent to the psnitentiary, but was subsequently pardoned out. After the killing Jackson Roberts and his brother Will liam, uncles of James, had 8 difficulty, draw ing pistols, and were arrested. This is one of the bloodiest affairs in the memory of our citizens. The Robertses are brave and des- perate characters all residents of Jones county and well-to-do farmers.

 DENVER, March 14.-Tuesday morning last, at daybreak, Francisco Duran entered the house of Mates Baca at San EIdofenso, will lage twenty miles northwest of Santa Fe. There were in the house at the time Baca, his aged mother and his sister, about 20 years of age. Duran brought with him light ara. and entering the room of the girl, who was in bed and asleep, attempted an outrage upon her, threatening her with death if she offered any resistance. The girl screamed and her screams awoke her brother, who came running in, and, although unarmed, attacked Duran, who defended himself with the axe. In the struggle Baca got possession of the axe, and with it struck Duran four blows on the head and neck, beating in his skull and almost sev- ering the head from his body, killing him all most instantly.

Hard Winter On the Pacific.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-A dispatch from Victoria says an express brings deplora- bIe news from the upper country. Cattle, sheep, horses and pack trains are dying with great rapidity.

 In the police court yesterday afternoon Dennis Kearney was placed on trial for the use of vulgar language and threats to kill. The defense waived jury trial. Testimony was introduced to show that the language was used as stated in the complaint. Kearney was the only witness for the defense, and in the hearing on one of the charges only immateri- ally modified, in his evidence, the language as given in the complaint. In the hearing on the second charge the language used was ad- mitted. Kearney's counsel moved to dismiss the case on the ground that the language did not tend to create breach of the peace, it being directed in one case against person not present, and in the other against no one in particular, 1t being & vague and general threat. The case was submitted without ar gument and taken under advisement until Monday.

 BERLIN, March 14.-A St. Petersburg cor respondent writes that Jarkofa who was re- gently assassinated by Nihilists, worked as compositor at the printing office of one Cor like, and was at the same time working on the secret press of the Noradnaia Valis and took part in distributing the numbers. A po- lice investigation made at Gorlika's ended in ths arrest of Jarkofa. Whilst the latter was under arrest he stated that if pardoned he would give information concerning secret printing press. He was accordingly liberated and gave such information as led to the dis covery of a second printing press and the arrest of parties concerned. The notice an- nouncing the assassination of Jarkofa was very imperfectly imprinted by hand only.

The chief influences applicable to the whole market are, fhe side, the close working of the money market, and the fact that stocks have been long time advancing and selling at comparatively high prices, and the belief that of the largest operators have been unloading their stocks for some weeks past. on other hand the very large railroad earnings, the numerous combinations and consultations which tend to produce h,rmony and cutting of ra:es inc great buoyancy in general business and the support which the stock market has from immense outside interest of small purchases.

English Politics The Approaching

EIectionS-Hopes of the Liberals.
 NEW YORK, March 1.-The Tribune's special cable from London says: Nobody pretends to foretell the result of the coming elections accurately. Extreme men of both sides claim a large majority. It is reported that the Tory headquarters are less sanguine since accounts were received from the ooun- try. Liberal provincial papers are more en- thusiastic and confident than those in London, where Tory social infu- ences predominate. The Liberal officials say tbey expect 8 small majority whichever side wins. They are confident of gaining twelve more seats in Ireland, nine in Scot land and hope to rsconquer certainly one half of the twenty three Liberal seats sacri- fced at the last election by party dissensions. Assuming this calculation to be correct they would gain more than the thirty seats required to overcome the present Tory majority, but since this estimate includes the Home Rulers many Liberals would prefer to see the Tories retain a small majority, expecting shortly to upset the Government and compel fresh dissolution The Irish seeing the injury occasioned to the Liberals by suspicion of an Irish alliance, are requested heneeforth to re- quire no pledge respecting home rule from English candidates and agreo to support who ever opposes the Government,
