Instant Death Of a Maine Mana KAN

ters-A Bath Schooner Badly
Damaged.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.
The bodies Of Captain Earl and wife, two
victims OF the explosion of the tug boat
James f. Thompson at Wards Island, yes
terday, are not yet recovered. Capsin Lewis
and son. Cakes r. Lewis, Of schooner Annie
z. Palmer of Bath. Me-, were but slightly
injured and remain on board the vessel. The
body of Edward Lewis, second mate of the
schooner. who was killed, has been taken to
the Aorgue where it awaits such disposition
Boothbay, Maine, may designate. The
cause Of the explosion is attributed to over
pressure Of steam. The tug had heavy
tow and an adverse tide. The Palmer was
side Of the tug, schooner Wentworth being on
the port side. The explosion occurred with
out the slightest warning. The deck house
of the tug scared above the column of steam,
cinders, broken iron and woodwork. The
bulls of the Palmer and the Wentworth di-
verted the force Of the explosion laterally,
but when the wreck fell their decks were
covered with broken woodwork and scraps
of iron. The air was instantly filled with
steam, smoke and cinders. All on the Pal
mer and Wentworth were thrown down
Nothing could be seen on board Of them for
several seconds, and then as the wind blew
away the steam and dust, it was seen that the
tug had disappeared. On the deck load of
the Palmer lay dead the body of the mate
and Edward Lewis, second cousin of the
captain. A fragment Of the wreck struck
him on the left side of the neck and nearly
severed his head from his body. Cakes r.
Lewis the son, fourteen years old, of the
captain lay near him partly stunned and in
jured by piece of brick striking him on the
right shoulder.
Capt. Cook on the deck of the Wentworth
was struck on the head by piece of timber
and thrown down. The port rigging of the
Palmer was badly damaged. The rigging on
the STAFFORD side was badly damaged. The
mainsai and topsail of the Josephine was
torn to tatters. No damage was done to the
Gorge and Edgar. Those on the schooners
dared not stir for minute or two, because of
fear of the falling of wreckage.
The first intimation that some of those on
the tug had not lost their lives was when
Counor, Coughlin and Caffee scrambled on
board the George and Edgar. Neither was
hurt or able to tell exactly what he was doing
when the accident occurred. Engineer KEEL
ley was found on heap of wreckage. He
was insensible and was taken to the homeo-
pathic hospital. He recovered consciousness
and was able to give the names of those on
the tug and to say that he could not account
for the explosion.
His face, neck and breast were scalded.
His scalp was lscerated, his right arm was
broken in three places, his left leg broken
and he appeared to be injured internally and
to be in danger of dying from the shock.
Physicians say his case in not hopeless
one.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Letters from senator Miller OF Callfornla
to the State and Treasury DE.
partments.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL.
Senator Miller of California recently filed
letters with the state and treasury depart
ments with reference to the alleged Chinese
restriction act by means of false certificates
issued bv the Chinese superintendent at Hong
Kong. In letter to the state department
Senator Miller describing the arrival at San
Francisco of 295 Cinnamon, during Septem-
Der and October, saws that while most Of them
were disguised in dress of the class they claim
to belong, it was quite evident they were
coolies or laborers. He states that the Gus
tom officers, shown very delicate sensioll-
ity toward the government of China and rare
confidence in her good faith and honor, per-
miited most of these certifcated coolies to
land, but finding these frauds multiply with
rapidly they refused to land part of the GER
tilted importation by the Rio Janeiro of Oct
3rd. He is unwilling TO believe that the
Chinese government has given sanction t.
such violation of the treaty and suggests that
enquiries be made of that government. tie
suggests that pending the answer OF enquiries
the custom officers charged with the eXecu-
ton of the act be justified in regarding the
certificates issued by the superintendent of
customs at Canton whenever it
manifestly appears that the persons
holding the same are Chinese laborers ana
Instructions TO tnat euect might De given ov
competent authority. The senator then calls
attention to the fact that in the first restric
ton act which was vetoed by the president,
it was provided that all permits from the I'm
perial government to come from China to the
United States should be vised by the diplo-
matte or consular representatives of the
United States at the port or place of departure
and that provision was omitted from the
present law in order to obvlate the presidents
objection. He submits the inquiry whether
it is not now practicable without the specified
direction of law to give authority to these
officers to so wise the certificates and give
notice on the part of the government that
such certificates would be recognized as
valid only when properly vised. He believes
that the Chinese government would interpose
no objection to such a regulation and that
it is competent for the state department to
make it. In letter to the treasury depart
ment he requests the custom officers to be
instructed to disregard the certificates issued
by the superintendent of customs at Canton
in cases where persons certifcated as mer-
chants who are being introduced into the
United States in fraud of the law and treaty.
Judge French says the treasury department
will await the action of the department OF
state.
