struck, and had commenced to back water.
The fog was dense bank.
The officers, crew and passengers all behav-
ed well. All the baggage and a greater part
of the freight, furniture and bedding were
saved. Every state room was searched, and
one lady who had left her Diamonds in her
state room had them returned to her. 1t was
about low water when the steamer ran
on the ledge. and as soon as the tide came the
after part of the steamer sank and she is now
under water aft of her wheel-house with her
bow twenty feet on the ledge between buoy
aud red spindle. The line put the buoy
down at their own expense for their own adj
vantage.
The tugs from Bangor have not yet arrived
Unless some support is put under her before
night it is fearful she will break up. The
steamer can be seen from here with glass and
looks as though only the walking beam and
smokestack were out of water.

fusion and everything was done that could be
done for the safety and comfort of passengers

No blame can be attached to the captain or

been due to the very thick fog and slight and
unusual variation in the running time.

ABOUT DUFFIELD.
The Man Whose Heirs are in Maine.

Concerning John Dufield, murdered at
Goya, South America, whose heirs are believed
to live in Maine, the following additional in
formation has been received 1T is understood
by those who were acquainted with Dufield
thot he was originally sailor and was con-
nected with Capt. Selfridge's Tehuantepec
surveying expedition. He went from Central
America down the west coast to Peru, whence
he crossed overland to Asuncion, or rather
Villa Occidental. Paraguay, where for many
years he was engaged in commercial pursuits.
Dr. Newkirk, of Goya, the locality where
Duffield was murdered, wrote recently to Con-
sui Baker that he (Dr. Newkirk) had received
letter from G A. Washburn, formerly United
States minister at Paraguay, and at present
residing in San Francisco, CAL, wherein Mr..
Wash burn stated that he was well acquainted
with Duffield, whose real name was Kelly.
Since the receipt of the above despatch the
Department has been informed directly by ex-
Minister Washburn that he did know John
Dufield very well, but afirms that he never
wrote to DIR. Newkirk and that he never said
or heard that Duffield's real name was Kelly.
Consul Baker still la er advises the Depart
ment that the said DR.. Newkirk now writes
that the assets of the estate have been deliv-
cred into the treasury of the province of Cor
rientes, The heirs, however can, by making
themselves known, institute proceedings to re-
cover the property.

THE HADJI.
Particulars of Her Loss.

Particulars of the wreck of steamer Hadji
on Blond Rock, Seal Island, just received, state
that she left Cow Bay Wednesday with 1900
tons of coal for Portland, and went ashore the
next morning at II o'clock After leaving
Cow Bay misty weather prevailed, and the
captain was on deck most of the time. When
the weather cleared he told the mate he would
go below and get some sleep, and authorized
him to steer southwest by west. The mate
suggested it would be sufficient to run west
southwest, and Captain Savage acknowledged
that the steamer would clear the rock, by run
ming in that direction. AT the time the vessel
struck she was steaming at full speed The
crew, numbering 81 all told, landed at Bar
rington. Some sails and rigging have been
saved; nothing more can be. The Hadji lies
on her beam ends, full of water. She was $50
tons burthen, built at Sunderland, England,
nine years ago. She is owned by the Quebec
and Gulf ports Steamship Company.

A Senate Sensation.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE sensation in
Senator Edmunds in the, Republican caucus
this morning. The original cause of the
trouble as the consideration Of the nomi-
nation Of Chandler. Hale, Of Maine, acting
for Blaine, was vehement In his demands
that the Republican Senators should rally to
the support or Chandler. He pointed out
the fact that the Democratic Senators were
nearly solid against Chandler. He thought
that tits ought to be enough to show the Re-
publieai,s heir line 1T action. Then by in
sinuatiosis Hale ni.rie N. atsask upon the
Senate judiciary committee, alleging that 1t
had been biased in its action by desire to
crafty the personal spite Of Conkling.
This sort Of talk brought out Senator Ed
munts. He electrified the caucus by stating
that he, for one, would resign his seat In the
Judiciary committee If Chandler was con-
irrned. The Senate had gone far enough I'm
challenging the integrity Of the actions Of his
committee. Senator Edmunds then, In his
most bitter and sarcastic fashion, reviewed
Chambers position at the Capital. No man
recognizes him as q lawyer, He Is . bold,
INSCRIPTIONS lobbyist; man OF ability, but
notorious from his close relations with near
ly every prominent job ever brought hefore
Congress-. To put him I'm the high office of
Solicitor General. would be an effort to place

Of the most powerful rings in the country.

was also an insult to the Attorney General.
