Collision At Sea.

LONDON. November l3.-The steamer
westphalia, Of the Hamburg American
line, from New York, November 2, fer
Hamburg has put into Portsmouth with q
hole in her port bow, received by collision
with an unknown steamer of Beachy Head
early this morning. The Westphalia is
taking water rapidly and will be docked.
A boat, lowered from the Westphalia to
search for the other steamer, is missing.
A steamer has been sent TO search for the
missing boat and the steamer. II 10 be.
lieyed the missing steamer has gone 70 the
bottom with all hands. There Is also miss
ing boat from the Westphalia which con-
tanned an officer and six men. An otficer
of the Westphilia reports that il was in
tepsely dark at the time Of the collision,
with a heavy sea running.
The collision occurred at o'clock this
morning. The missing steamer was bark
rigged, and was not seen after the collision.
Captain Ludwig, Of the Westphalia, imme.
diately dispatched a boat to try and find
her. He then made ready all the other
boats, in the event of the water gaining on
the Westphalia. All the pumps were kept
going without intermission. The mails
and ninety passengers were landed at Ports
mouth this afternoon, and will be for
warded to their destinations at the earliest
possible moment. The Westphalia is now
moored alongside the dock yard, and is
kept clear OF water by pumps. Her cargo
is not generally damaged. Great praise is
accorded Captain Ludwig and the officers
and crew for their coolness and courage
from the moment OF the collision. There
was a very heavy sea on, and IL was too dark
to see a ships length.

Republicans Trimming Their sails TO
suit the November Breeze.
WASHINGTON, November 13.-Those who
have the closest alliance with the St&lwart
wing of the party are promptly recognizing
the lesson Of the late elections. They SEQ
that Republicans have declared againsbfac-
tional leaders, and that some one in no
sense allied with such leaders must be nom-
mated for 1884 to give any hope of success.
The intimate and confidential relations Of
the editor of the Republican here to the
Stalwarts is we'll known. The prompt dec
laratiOn of that journal that there must be
party action in response to the plain de-
mands for civil service reform has been fol-
lowed by a delineatiOn of the characteris-
tics of the Presidential candidate which, in
its Judgment, is called for by the voice Of
the recent election. IL says:
But if there can be found a man of the
highest order OF intellect we'll yersed in
the science of government, long accus-
toned to public affairs, learned in conSti-
tutional law, sound TO the core on equal
rights, trust by the most eXscting on ques-
tions of currency aud revenue, so pure and
upright that not an enemy has ever
thought of questioning his integrity, free
from all part in any OF the exciting con-
troyersies in the party, conspicuous for q
sturdy independence of character that
would guarantee him against any control
by or leaning toward any factioa-if any
man such as we have described can be
named, he would grow upon the general
Judgment as the man under whose piiotage
we could vet sail our ship safely between
the Scylla of political dictatorship and the
Charybdis of Bourbon restoration. Ii We
have an American who combines all the
elements named he will be found.

THE SPEAKERSHlP.
Randall aud Carlisle. and Their Tariff
Records.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-The two
recognized candidates for the speakership OF
the House. MesSrs. Randall and Carlisle,
must make their contest mainly upon the
various phases of the tariff question. Each
gentleman defined his position in the de-
bate last session upon the bill creating the
Tariff Commission. Mr.. Randall said:
II favor, as speedily as possible. total
abolition of our internal revenue system,
and am ready to Join hands with any and
all in this House in favor of an equaliza-
ton Of our duties on imports"
He admitted the necessity for revision
of the tariff. but he advocated first the abo-
litiOn of all internal revenue taxes, and
then a reliance upon important duties for
the revenue which is needed by the gov
eminent. He did not favor tariff enacted
upon the ground of protection, simply for
the sake of protection, and he regarded the
discussion Of free trade q waste OF time.
He favored discriminating duties, judi
CiOus tariff, and incidental protection. He
supported the Tariff Commission bill.
Mr.. Carlisle spoke against the bill. He
thought Congress ought at once revise the
tariff in the ordinary way. He declared
that il would be difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to devise q tariff system more unequal
and unjust than the existing system.
II am one Of those, he said, who be-
lleNe tlat the power VI NdAdLlOLA Sau OO AZ
Ultimately employed only for the purposes,
or, In other words that the object OF all
taxation should be reyenue-reyenue only,
IL YOU please; but if, with this primary OBJ
iect in view, the taxes on duties can be so
adjusted as 10 aid our industries without
imposing any burdens upon the people be-
yond what otherwise would have been
necessary, there is nothing in the policy
advocated by thse who demand a reform
in the tariff to forbid their encouragement
or protection to that extent, and l think
il can be demonstrated, so far as facts and
figures can demonstrate any proposition
upon such a subject, that such policy
would afford all the protection that any
legitimate and well conducted industry
needs in this country. l do not
recognize a principle that would i'm
pose a duty above the revenue point
merely for the purpose of giving what is
called protection. III We were called upon
now for the first time to declare prin-
ciple or inaugurate a policy upon the SUBJ
iect. l should not hesitate TO announce my
adherence to that creed which demands the
largest liberty in trade, that doctrine
which opens the channels OF commerce in
all parts Of the world, and invites the pro-
ducer and consumer TO meet on equal
terms in free market for the exchange OF
their commodities, for l sincerely believe
that all commercial restrictions are iu the
end injurious to the interests Of the peo-
pie"
These statements represent the positions
Of the two men on this question.

CLEVELAND, November 13. - About 8
o'clock this afternoon boiler in the Forest
City Iron Works exploded with terrific
force, killing four men, seriously injuring
four or five others and slightly wounding

open at the ends and sides, and all under
one roof, with no partitions. The boiler
was eighteen feet long and forty.two inches
in diameter. A large portion of the root
was torn off, and fragments of the
boiler were hurled a great distance.
The cause of the explosion is unknown. The
killed are William Atkins, master machin-
ist of the works. top of head blown OIL,
both legs wrenched from trunk and body

lisms were killed instantly. Gallagher
fingered three hours. Gallagher leaves a
widow and Williams leaves a small family.

Report.
WASHINGTON, November 13.-The NoYem-
Der corn report of the Department OF Agri-
culture shows planting was later and re-
planting more general than for several
years. The prospect up to July was dis:
cOuraging, causing q sharp rise in values OF
grain. Since then the season has been
steadily favorable to the growth and ripen-
ing, and deferred freezes made the per lod
of fully the average length. The condition
on July / averaged IS, was SO in August,
the same in September, and 81 in October.
last year the condition fellfrom 80 in July
to 66 in October presaging q loss OF over
$50, 0o0, 900 bushels, which was fully realized.
The department has three tests OF the quail.

December. The total product as compared
with the total Of the previous year in Octo.
Der, the highest indication of the aggre-
stated that late returns of the product may
slightly reduce, butcan not materially in
crease this result. The present return
OF the yield makes a general average OF
close to 25 bushels per acre, which is under
the medium yield, confirming the predic-
tiOn of September that the heavy produc.
tion of 1878 and 1880 can not be approached
under the most favorable circumstances,
which was 2S.l bushels in the census year.
The average yield of ten years to 1880 was
nearly % bushels. The November returns
of the yield per acre on an acreage between
5000, 900 and So, OOO, 900 make an aggregate
of nearly 1,650,0OO 900 bushels. Its
distribution in round numbers is:

The Stalwarts Recognizing the Lesson Of
the November Election-The Speak

Corn Crop.
OTHER NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST.

WASHINGTON. November bah agree
that there will be some changes in the Cab
met next month. What the particular
changes will be no one Is able to state
in an authoritative way. The majority
opinion is that the President will reorgan-
than it is now. Judge Folger was not
President Arthur's choice as Secretary of
the Treasury. He was, however, the choice
Of his New York advisers, and the Presi-
dent accepted him. Soon after he became
a member of the cabinet the President, it
is said by his intimate friends, noticed that
Judge Folger had a snaall-sized presiden-
tial bee in his hat. The bee has dis
appeared. Secretary Chandler is prob
ably nearer to the President than any
of his other cabinet advisers. The relations
between the President and Secretary Lin
coin are purely official. Between the Pres
ident and Secretary Frelinghuysen they
are more intimate. Those between Secre-
tary Teller, the Postmaster General and
the Attorney General are very formal.
The Republicans Of the West were given
two places. They selected Messrs. Howe
and Teller for them. IL is said that until
these gentlemen had been requested to be-
come members of the cabinet the President
had never spoken a word or even had not
met them. There is kind of individuality
about the President which would have
shown itself in the cabinet had he been al
lowed to select them. MeSsrS. FrelinghuySen
and Chandler would have been the only ones
chosen. The President desires q reorgsni
zation, and he will have it unless his most
intimate political friends cause him to
change his mind, and it is not at all likely
they will try to do so. The President feels
that his interference in the New York
elections has been one of the greatest mis-.
takes of his life. He will not interfere in
New York politics any more, except in
general way. But he sees in this defeat no
reason why he shall not have his way in
the matter of his Cabinet. He has been
thoroughly impressed with the power OF
the people, and will probably try to be
more the President Of the people every
where than the President of few New
York politicians.

A QUEER PATENT.
Discovery of Process for Preserving
the Dead.


WASHINGTON, November 13.-Mr. P. f:
Ellsworth and DR.. Lovett, a physician OF
Erie, have made application for patent on
a recently discovered process of preserving
the dead, supposed to be the long. lost Egyp-
tan art They claim that, partly by acci-
dent and finally by experiment, they have
discovered a certain combination of anti
septic elements, which, If diffused through
a dead body, even when tits in an advanced
stage of decomposition, will destroy all cor
ruptible matter and convert tue flesh into
cartilaginous state, the denser parts of the
body, such as the gristly part of the ear be-
ing converted into horny substance,
retaining its natural appearance. In
one of their experiments they by the aid
of electricity, applied the chemicals to the
dead body of an infant at the aims house
at Erie, Pa. Ten weeks after the body had
been removed from all contact with the
chemicals the flesh had become like rub
Der, the cheeks were full and plant to the
touch, and the ears had become horny;
there was no odor, and 1t seemed to have
no more properties of decomposition than
a rubber doll. Whether the body will re-
main in this plant state, or whether 1T
will become hard as the denser parts now
are, it will probably take more than life
time to determine, but whatever change
may take place the Doctor claims that 1t
cannot decay. The discovery was kept
secret for some time, the discoverers not
wishing to make it public until they had
satisfied themselves Of its successful appl-
cation
