Henry Ward Beecher announced sew
eral months since, after his trip through
the west, that he was opposed to pro-
tectiye tariff, and he now clinches his
opinions in an interview with n reporter
Of New York paper by saying:
I'VE all agree upon one thing, that as
n practical measure the first step TO be
taken Is TO admit raw material free, and
the second is to have sliding scale year
by year, until we have reduced the tar
IN to an absolute revenue basis. The
moment you say with incidental pro-
lection" you are dead; you are gone {;
every drop Of protection in the tariff is
dead poison. would make the tariff
exclusively for revenue. II they won't
do that, and go overheard, l shall be
very sorry, but amt going overheard
with them. certainly shall not help
any candidate in the Republican party
by an advocacy, or seeming advocacy,
of protection. You know exactly how
that would be. If had any influence
at all it would necessarily be adverse to
those who uphold protection.

Steamer City of Brussels Sunk in the
British C1Iannel-Two Passengers
and Einht OF the Crazy Lost

Steamer City of Brussels Sunk in the
British C1fannel-Two Passengers
and Eight of the Crew Lost.
500 The Inman line steamer City of Brussels,
Captain Laud, from New York, Dec. IS, for
Liverpool, was run down in the British
channel by a Glasgow steamer, during a
fog, and ten persons were drowned The
City of Brussels was of iron, and one of the
fastest and most trustworthy, of the seven
vessels now in the service of the 1nman line.
Up to a few years ago she was known as
the fastest vessel on uns Atlantic, and held
the equation for five years.
When the City Of Brussels arrive d
in the vicinity of the Northwest light
ship at O'Clock Saturday morning, the fog
was so dense that the captain ordered not to
make Roadway, but remained under steam
near the light ship. A carefult outlook was
kept, the captain q second and fourth
officers being on the bridge and the pilot
also looEng out. The bells were kept ring
ing and fog horns frequently sounded. For
some time the steamer lay in safety. Extra
look out men were appointed in every part
ofthe vessel. These measures had . reassur-
ing effect on the passengers. Suddenly
the low, gurgling sound OF a vessel
approaching was heard and a large steamer
only a few yards distant and moving quick
" through the water looms up out OF the
fog. Before any measure could be taken to
avert it a tremendous collision was seen to
be inevitable, and immediately the steamer
Kirby Hall struck the s;arboard Gov OF the
City of Brussels with a terrific force, cutting
her down to the waters edge and almos
half through her. The Kirby Hall was on
her maiden voyage. She had left Glasgow
only q few hours before, and was calling at
Liverpool to complete loading and embark
passengers for the east.
Ali passengers were marshaled into their
appointed place, so there was no hurry nor
confusion. Life buoys were served out,
boats were swung, and every preparation
made for the emergency This proved to be
more immediate than was anticipated. The
passengers had been put into boats, and
some OF the crew told to man each of these
creft, the captain and remainder of the men
continuing on board till the safety of the
others was assured, the vessel got visibly
lower in the water, and those of the crew
who had not escaped in the boats climbed
into the rigging and awaited results. In
about twenty minutes after the impact, the
vessel gave a tremendous lurch, fiinging off
those in the rigging and ~Plunging into the
depths with a fearful swirl
1t was found that two of the passengers of
the city CT Brussels had been drowned.
They were Storage passengers and were
Italians. Eight of the crew are also lost,
including Second Officer Young and Car
penteF Woods. Ali the Others are believed
80 he saved, and were taken OF board the
Kirly Hall and taken to Liverpool.
