on an OCEAN STEAMER.
[By Cable to y. Y. Telegram
LONDON. MAY Miss Charlotte G.
O'Brien. daughter Of Smith O'Brien. of
Young Ireland" fame, sends To the Pail
Mall Gdzette letter entitled Horrors Of an
Emigrant Ship" which creates a profound
sensation and will be the subject Of ques-
ton in the House Of Commons on Monday
bN Mr.. O'Donnell. Miss O'Brien visited
Queenstown in order to examine the mode
of life of emIgrants on a steamer. which
vessel. however, she does not name. The
following are the main points -.
Ii Is unnecessary to say that wherever the
sacred foot of wealth trod on this ship all
was gold and silver, shining brass. cleanli-
ness, comfort and decency. We had come
on board, however, TO see the emigrants,
and We were determined to see their quart
ers first. When We saw the quarters of the
single men, descriptions of slave ships
flashed across me. Below this place our
guide showed US deep hole saving, Il
could not take YOU down there, it is much
worse than what YOU See" But my bust
ness was with the wOmen's quarters and We
went there. Between two decks better
lighted than the mems quarters was a larger
space open from one side of the Ship to the
other.
From either side of long central walk to
the outer walks of the ship we're slung two
enormous hammocks-one suspended abou,
three feet from the floor. What was going
on in two other hammocks above these
could not see, but ! presume they we're the
same as those below. | suppose each OF
these hammocks carry about one hundred
persons. They were made of sailcloth, and
being suspended all around from hooks were
perfectly fiat. Narrow strips of saileloth
divide this great bed into berths. These
strips of cloth, when the mattresses were
out, formed divisions about eight inches
high. When the mattresses are in it must
be almost on level.
Now, in these beds lie hundreds of men
and women. Any man who comes with q
woman who is or calls herself his wife
sleeps, as matter of right, in the midst Of
hundreds Of young women who are COM
PEELED to live in his presence day and night

THE CONKLISG BROL.-It is stated gen
orally that no set conference was held here
last night BY the republicans with Conkling,
Plat and Arthur, but several people waited
on them at different times, and il is under
stood that regular caucus of the republi-
cans of the legislature will be held, which
will decide what action shall be taken upon
the senatorial resignation. The impression
is that Conkling and Plat will be put in
nomination. A committee of three has
been appointed by the anti-monopoly league
to go to Albany to urge the Legislators to
vote against Depew or any man identified
with railroad interests.

MAINE -SHIPOwNERS.-It is quite time
the shipowners Association. organized in
March last, at Augusta, Ne, was heard
from. 1t is said TO be composed of 800
substantial members, who believe that the
prosperity of the country at large is about
to make itself felt in the ,hipyards Of Maine.
and that they propose to aid in the revival
of the great industry for which the State
has long been famous. We are advised that
this organization was perfected by the cleo
ton Of permanent officers, who have enough
at stake TO secure their best services. This
Association represents many millions Of
dollars. We hope its officers will confer
with the committee appointed at the late
convention held in Boston, to represent the
shipowning interest at Washington, and ar
range for another convention, with fuller
represention of bona fde shipowners. and
that shipbuilders NAV not be excluded. The
early part of October would be the proper
time for holding such convention. Let US
not delay moving in this matter until the
heated term is upon us.-American Ship.

The gallant ship entered our port

where she proceeded to unload her
freight, the crew distributing the
numerous preasants to those whom
they belonged as their names were
called off. Each OF the school chill.
