THE ClM8RlA DISASTER.
Nothing Definite known Of the Missing
ROats Position OF the Wreck,

NEW YORK, January 22.-The agents Of
the steamer Cimbria received the following
dispatch this morning from the Hamburg
agents:
HAMBURG, January 22.-Our steamer
HaSna retained from q cruise and saw the
wreck of the Cimbria five miles northeast Of
the BorEum lightship. The head was to the
northwest with the topSail yards above
water. Saw no trace OF survivors or bodies
although the weather was clear. Enquired
was known about any boats or persons
saved Agnes, Emma and Otto Bobsein,
| Carl SarCander and daughter and Miss Hen
| ming were on board. but were not saved.
| Franz FlorkOmsky was not on the Cimbria.
LONDON, January 22.-The Cimbria lies
sund in ninety feet of water Three boats
were launched before she sank.
One of the boats which the crew succeed
ed in launching before the foundering Of
the steamer sank Immediately. 1t is feared
all persons at present missing have been

The vessel had on board 400 persons, and
| the only ones known 10 be saved are 80,
| who escaped in q boat 10 CuXhaven, and
the Il who arrived in a boat at Bremen

| is presumable that the terrified people had
not time to take to the boats, and that the
56 referred to are the only ones saved out
| of the total OF 400.
| Rescued.
HANBURG, January 22-The Diamite, one
| of the steamers that went in search OF the
missing passengers and crew of the Cim'
bria, arrived this afternoon with sixteen
passengers and fireman of the i'll fated
vessel. The rescued passengers state that
after having left the Cimbria theil
boat was carsized and they sought
refuge in some OF the rigging Of the
Cimbria which was still above the water
They remained in that position ten hours
freezing from cold and expecting every
minute to be their last, until they were
rescued by a boat fIom the Diamite. MIny
who were in the boat when it struck the
Cambria were drowned when the boat cap
sized. They affirm that while they were
in the rigging the lights of the Sultan were
clearly visible, and that their cries for help
must have been heard on board the Sultan
which, in:tead of coming TO the rescue,
steered away.
vienna, January a. There were seventy
| two Austrians and Hungarisns on board
the Cimbria. An eyewitness of the disas

The LOBBY.
A Change Of Tactics - MtddIemen
0usted.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-It is the testi-
nOry Of veterans that change has taken
place in the methods of the lobby. Here
tyi.-e the lobby has been composed of pro-
fessiona, lrOmoters of legislation, with a
swarm OF retainers at their back. In this
way Immense sums of money have been
s.gaIdercd the middlemen getting the
larger part. This thing, it is said, has for
seveIa! years been growing worse.
Tae change consists in passing by the
E!l!lemen, or promoters, and dealing di-
rec,.y With the lawmakers. The mode of
dealing with Congressman so glsringly ex-
empirei by the memorable cases Of the
Ias.lc Mail, the subsidized railways, and a
S.07eo other instances have gone out OF
