CARROLL & Bolts, Ladies' E


Last week the steamer "James
Howard" Capt. Joseph W. Bryan
of Mexico, in command, was burned
to the waters edge at the St. Louis
dock just after she arrived.I The
st. Louis Republican, speaking OF
Capt. Bryan, says:
That part of the boat which was
most free from fire and smoke and
deafening confusion was the stern.
To 1t the dismayed passengers rushed
with tremulous activity. A yawl,
long and wide was floating in the
wake of the boat. The captain with
a revolver in n hand, a stout club
in the other, was the foremost among
those who sought safety by this
means. He advanced to the railing.
"Ladies first" he shouted. One
man, a negro, SO frightened as to los
all sight of his imminent danger OF
being manned or killed by the de-
terminsd captain, strove to make his
way into the tender. A blow with
the club stretched him prone upon
the deck. The captain then com.
handed one of the male passengers
to jump into the yawl. He was
obeyed. Then the ladies with their
children were handed down into the
boat. The men followed. The next
to the last to get in was he whom the
captain had laid low upon the deck
for his disobedience. The captain
himself was last of all.
Capt. Bryan was in the city yester-
day on a visit TO his family, bnt left
for St. Louis last night, whence he
goes to New Orleans to-day to take
charge of another steamer-the
''Thompson Dean"

Now, that the cabinet has been
formed, and the administration en-
tered upon the execution of its duties,
it is becoming more and more evident
every day that its path will not be
strewn with flowers. 1t is true the
Republicans have a small numerical
majority in the House of Representa-
tives; but that can scarcely be re-
garded as a reliable working majority,
since a united opposition could over
come it if only two Republicans were
absent. The administration has al
ready found out that 1t has greater
vexations than demand for Office and
pressure for favor. The cabinet of
Mr.. Hayes bequeathed it a painful
legacy in that gentleman's last veto,
and transferred to Gen. Garfield the
responsibility of providing for and
refunding the national debt, and the
disturbing question is: How is that
to be done?
The e President most probably
would prefer to r%e-transfer this re-
sponsibility to congress, and yet
he shrinks from re-convening that
body during the first days of his
administration. He seems to realize
that there are individuals and ele-
ments in it that are opposed to
his views, and having been always a
timid man, he breads encounter with
them. The argument for a called
session is very potent, however. Mr..
Hayes has created the responsibility
of either funding the maturing 5 and
6 per cent. bonds, Or paying a higher
rate of interest on the public debt
THAI prevails for private obligations.
Under existing statutes $50, 900, 900
can be paid by the LIST of July; after
that the government, unless some
steps are taken to prevent it, will
have to 60 on paying from 5 to 6 per
cent. per annum, while 4 per cent.
bonds are selling at a rate that makes
them worth to their holders less than
8 1-2 per cent. In this dilema and
in the uncertainty that attaches to
Republican control of congress,
should it be ro-convened, the new
cabinet feels itself unable to decide
what to do.
