The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1882-01-26
VANCOUVER INDIFFERENT.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1882.

On the 10th of December Hon. Thos.
III. Brents introduced bill into Con-
gress, for the admission of Washing
ton Territory as state. The bill as
introduced by him provides for new
constitutional convention, the forma-
ton of new constitution, and vote
thereon by the people, when, if such
new constitution should be ratified by
the people the President must by proc
lamation admit the State into the
Union. These are the main points of
the bill, other than such as are usually
included in such q document. In put
ting in bill of this kind Mr.. Brents
is doing anything but the work he
was sent there to do. The people
have already ratified good constitu-
ton by very large majority, almost
unanimously, and we do not see what
authority Mr.. Brents has for setting
aside the will of the people in the way
he started out. The only words ut
tered against admission with the con-
stitution now formed came from the
editor of the Walla Walla Union, who
with his clique change their opinions
and wants as often as they go to bed
and get up again. Mr.. Brents was
not elected to be run by them, and it
is time he attended to the peoples
business in the way they have directed
il to be done. If he continues in the
present course he is dead duck po-
litically. A Washington dispatch of
Saturday is as follows:
Brents, delegate from Washington,
has Just put in bill and got it refer
red to a subcommittee for the admis-
sion into the Union of the State of
Washington, to be composed of WASH
ington Territory and three counties Of
northern Idaho. Ainslie, delegate
from Idaho, is fighting the bill because
it takes in part of his territory, and he
is backed by other territorial repre-
sentatives, who do not like the prece-
dent this bill would establish. They
fear that should this bill pass other
territories wanting to become states
might endeavor to capture portion
of adjoining territories in order TO IN
crease their population. Hence de-
termined fight will be made against
Brents' bill, which has been referred
to a subcommittee consisting of Aid
rich, Van VOORHEES, and Richardson
two republicans and one democrat.
The republicans are DESTROYS of getting
part of Dakota admitted as a state,
and therefore tits not likely they will
embarrass that movement by taking
up the application of Washington to
become u state.
1t is possible, judging from the read
ing of the above that Mr.. Brents has
abandoned his old bill, and introduced
a new one, leaving out SOME of the OBJ
jectionable features of that of Dec. 10.
However, that is more than can be
hoped from the influences that accom-
panied him to Washington.

The Bal timOre d Ohio Railroad.

The surveyors of the proposed Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, for the por'
tion between this city and Phiiadelphis
have surveyed four or five routes, the
last one being along che river shore
from Cherry Island flats, opposite viii,
mington, up to Chester, Pa, where il
Is proposed to use the old line of the p,
W. & b. Railroad, which has been
leased to the Reading Railroad as a
freight road. They will use this road,
1t Is said, by constructing two passen.
ger tracks, one on each side Of the pres.
ent freight road, so as TO evade the pen.
atty of $780, COO for using it as a pas.
senger road. The last survey Of the
b. and o. engineers along the river
shore above Wilmington will neCessi-
tate the purchase or removal of the
beet sugar works near Edgemoor; also
the destruction of the fine club house of
the Messrs. Kline, of Philadelphia,
near Holly Oak, and that of the Holly
Oak fish house next to it, also owned
by Philadelphians.
Continuing, IL passes the summer res
idence, on the river shore, of Col. j. H.
Taggart, of Philadelphia, within twenty
feet of the front door, and close to the
double tracks OF the present p. W. u
b. Road. 1t passes through 1000 feet of
Col. Taggart's property, and then goes
upon that of /. L. Young, stock broker
OF Philadelphia, within six feet OF his
front door. Next, it strikes the hand.
some shore residence of General l. j.
WisTar, of Philadelphia, passes through
his windmill pumping house and with.
in few feet of his dwelling. Next it
passes along the property Of William
p. CressOn, also of Philadelphia, who
has hand some shore residence, double
houses, modern harm, stable, &c, and
strikes a line close to the barn and
within 100 feet OF the mansion.
Then 1t passes along the river shore
through the propertie Of William p.
Clyde and Frank Ford, both of Phila-
delphia, where it crosses the Delaware
line into Pennsylvania, and on to Mar
Gus Hook and Chester.
IL is estimated that it will cost $780,.
900 loss by this route than any OF the
others survey ed, in consequence of there
being so much grading and rock-cutting
on the higher levels. But on this river
route the damages will be heavy, for
Colonel Taggart, Mr.. Yonug, General
Wistar and Mr.. Cresson all say they
will not grant the right OF way unless
the company buys their properties out
and out, as 1t will entirely destroy their
value tor residences or business
purposes.

SUNK THE DELAWARE.
A Collision Between Tug Boat
ana steamer Noar Chester.

Yesterday morning the steamer
Thomas Clyde took a party of excur
sionists to Camden, from thence they
,, went to Atlantic City. After landing
her passengers, the Clyde made her reg.
ular trip to Bombay Hook returning to
philadelphia III the evening, where the
Chester people were in waiting to be re-
turned to their homes. About 8o'clOck
the Clyde steamed down the Delaware
towards Chester, aud when off Billings
lport, a short distance from Chester,
about 8 o'clock, tug boat was sighted
looming up the river. The usual signal,
one whistle, was given by the steamer
which was answered by the tug in a
similar way, which signifed that each
boat was to keep to the right. Every
thing went along all right for a short
time, when all Of sudden the tug boat
changed her course and attempted to
cross in front of the bow of the steamer,
which was fatal course for the tug, as
she struck the steamer with great force
close to the bow, and in less time than
1t takes to tell it, sank to the bottom.
The Clyde was running very slow, hav-
ing Stacked her speed when the tug
boat was ne r, otherwise the accident
would have been much greater and
probably attended with loss of life. The
tug was named "Laura" and belonged
in Philadelphia, having towed q
schooner to this city in the afternoon
and was returning to Philadelphia
when the accident occurred.
Hearing of the accident reporter of
the REPUBLICAN interviewed one of
the officers of the Clyde from whom the
particulars were CLEANED. The officer
stated that after giving the usual sig.
nails their boat was slowed down, and |
at the time the first mate and watch |
were on the lookout and the captain |
and pilot in the pilot house.
AS soon as the tug boat struck them |
the steamer came to q stand still. |
A life boat was lowered to search tor /
the crew of the tug, which consisted of
five men. About half hour was thus
spent in searching for them when they
made their appearance on board the
stea mer, having jumped from the tug
when she went down aud got on board
The fireman was knocked overheard
and swan to the steamer. For a few
minutes the passengers on the Clyde
"oAo BlOdOAy oAClJCu bub upOu DolUR
assured that the steamer was all right,
they became pacified.
Upon investigation it was ascertained
that the COOK on board the tug had
charge of the wheel and not fully un.
the duties of the pilot, the
occurred as above stated the
tug running under full headway. The
Clyde was slightly injured in her bow
and after landing her passengers at
ChesGer she proceeded to this city and
is now being repaired at the yards of
the Pussy and Jones Co, 1t is thought
she will be able to make her regular
trip tomorrow. 1t is not known what
action the owners of the tug boat will
take, but they cannot recover damages
rs the accident resulted from gross
carelessness on the part of the tugs
officers. Under these circumstances
The Clyde can recover damages.
