WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1888.

w ASdlNGION, ICU. y, 1000.
The past week has been devoted
almost exclusively to social gayety
with a little congressional work
thrown inss by way of episode and
recreation. When Senators, Mem
bers, Cabinet Ministers, and Justi.
ces of the Supreme Court are seen
in swallow-tail coats, with the gor-
geously arrayed wives and daugh-
ters Of some other man, at two
o'clock in the morning eating chick
en- salad, scolloped oysters, drink
ing champagne, and inhaling car
bonic acid gas, one begins to get
an insight of the real sources of
bilious legislation and lax admin
istratration. No wonder that it is
difficult for Congress to-assemble
att the early hour Of II A. NJ, or
that on the calling of the Senate
roll Que day last week Senator
Butler of South Carolina was the
only Senator who answered to his
name.
The social entertainments began
on Monday evening, or rather on
Sunday, for it is on this day that
SRoyal Bob." as the late President
called MIR. Ingersoll, holds his re-
ceptions, and they were continued
with unabated fury throughout the
week, euding with a grand ball
given at the British Ministers in
honor of the husband of her royal
highness the Princess Louise. But
Tuesday evening eclipsed all others
in the number and brilliancy of the
social entertainments when society
divided the hours between the resi-
dences Of Justice Woods, the Span
ish Ministers, and General Beale.
When I tell you that many men Of
prominent official position were at
all three of these entertainments,
and that they were expected next
day to be in their Offices or in the
halls Of Congress transacting in
trieate delicate business or discuss
ing questions vital to nation,
questions that tax the best thought
and best energies Of men, you will
allow there is cause for denouncing
this social folly run mad.
The curious thing about these en-
tertainments in Washington is that
they are but little frequented by
gay youth. The devotees are most
| ly old married and middle aged
people from whom brightness of eye,
smoothness of skin, and grace and
litheness of limb has departed.
According to the present inten-
tion Of the dominant party in Con-
gress the sessions of both houses
during the coming week will be de-
voted almost exclusively to the
tariff question.
The tariff bill framed by the
ways and means committee was
taken up for detailed consideration
by the House of Representatives
under the five minute rule to-day,
and its consideration is to proceed
throughout the week, interrupted
'ly by the delivery Of eRa

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

We publish entire, this week, the Act OF the
last Legislature creating Railroad Commits
sion for the State of South Carolina. The du.
ties of this Commission will be to guard the
interests of the people against the encroach
ments of those corporations as regards carry
ing and passenger traffic and as each line OF
road may be regarded as a monopoly so far as
relates to the section through which it passes
the creating of this commission was urged by
it's advocates as a necessity for the protection
of the people. 1t is one of the most important
Acts of the last session but it is yet too early
to speak of its probable results. Regarding
the work of the Commission, the Columbia
Reqister of Thursday says:
The Commissioners were present at their Of
flee in the State House yesterday. The morn
ing was spent in attention to matters OF a
purely local character, and the Board will fOl
some time meet daily and dispose of such bus.
mess as requires their immediate attention,
while preparing for the heavy work of arrang,
ing the freight rates, which will be aimed to
strike the line of equity between the people
and the railroads.
1t is no part of the purpose OF Commissions
ers Jeter and Walker to reside i'll Columbia,
as has been stated. The duties of the Com
mission will for few months require theil
frequent meeting, but after the work OF the
Board has been fully systematiZed, monthly
meetings of day or two will suffice for the
full discharge of the duties, and the location
of one of the members here will answer every
demand of the business.

Scarcely fifteen minutes elapsed after the
collision until the vessel sank The screams
tance away and must, they say, have been
heard by the people on board the Sultan. No
complaint has been made againstthe Ci,nbria's
crew, although of the saved twenty-five be-
long to this class. Capt. Hansan stood on
the bridge till the ship sank. The first Off
Ger, Karlowa, worked for the benefit of the
passengers to the last moment. Second officer
Spruthzen with an axe was cutting off wood
work for rafts for the passengers while the
ship was going under water, and after sink
ing he was picked up by one of the boats.
The third and fourth officers were also picked
up out of the water.
Only three women are among the saved and
even these had to be dragged into the boats
by force, so great was the terror and confu-
sion. Many families of five or six persons
sank together. One thing certain, however,
was that there never was the slightest chance
of saving Il third of the people on board by
means of the boats, even had all been launch
ed, and great and presumably just as is the
Indignation against the captain of the Sultan,
there will doubtless be searching inquiry in
stituted as to the duty of the steamship COM
pany in providing sufficient facilities for es-
cape for every passenger on board.
The Cimbrin has sunk in nearly ninety feet
of water She stands upright Her top yards
are just visible at high tide.
The Frankfwter Journal says the officers of
the steamer Sultan have been placed in Jail.
The steamer Sultan has been seized by the
police. Her captain asserts that he waited at
the scene of the disaster twelve hours after
the collision.

THE SINKING OF THE CIMBRIA.

The survivors of the Cin'brin describe the
moment of her sinking as terrible one. The
air was filled with the cries OF drowning hum
dreds, who remained floating short time
until benumbed by the icy water In few
minutes all was over.
The scenes on, board the ill-fated steamship
after the collision defy description. The pas
sengers, many of whom were women and chill
dren, woke up suddenly and rushed on deck
hither and thither, screaming with terror.
First one boat was lowered and then another.
There were eight boats, but the ship sank so
RAPIDLY on the starboard side that many peo-
ple fell into the water. The four boats on the
port side were quickly filled with people, but
could not be lowered on account OF the angle
at which the ship lay The four on the star
board side safely reached the water, but boat
No. 5 capsized, and those in it struggled for IL
short time and then sank. Boat No. I, under
command of the second officer, with twenty
eight persons and another boat with eleven
persons got away safely, and after drifting
near twelve hours were picked up near CuX-
haven.
A third boat with seventeen persons was
rescued by the bark Dianaant, bound from
New York to Bremen. These were all that
were saved. Among them Mr. B. E. Lorenz,
of Frankfort, ole of the rescued, gave long
account of the terrible scenes he witnessed.
Though the officers did their duty nobly, they
were unable to maintain order. Men, women
and children were mad with fear. Those who
had secured places had a violent struggle to
keep the boat from being swamped. The SIX
Indians were driven away by some sailors by
axe blows on their hands Capt. Hansen stood
till the last moment on the bridge, but could
have no control over the five hundred terror
stricken human beings beneath him.
Men, women and children-whose families
clung together in despair One young mar
ried couple preferred to meet death quickly
by cutting each others veins. The ships
doctor, Herr Fege, some of the stewards and
the stewardess and some officers distributed
life saving belts to the last moment, but
those thus provided were not benefited, for
most of them died from the severe cold:
The survivors who escaped in boats say that
when they rowed away the water was covered
with bodies kept up with life belts. Only a
few were alive when the boats left, and OF
