Another Steamer Sunk-The City of
Portland Wrecked ON q Ledge-NO Lives
Lost.
RooK1AND, May 8.-The steamer City of
Portland, Captain Lascon, of the Interna-
tional line from Boston for st. John, struck
on ledge in the Fisherman's Island Chan
mel at twenty-five minutes past three this
morning and sank. She will be total loss.
The passengers and crew were saved. The
steamer left Portland at a quarter to nine
last evening and was in charge of Pilot Bib
Der when che struck, the captain being
asleep in his statereom. The ledge on which
she struck is buoyed and the accident was
caused by the boat going too near the buoy.
She struck heavily and caraened, but did not
sink till all on board were taken off The
mate went in boat to Owls Head Harbor,
some three miles distant and dispatched a
messenger to Rockland for assistance
In three hours from the time
the boat struck the steamer Reekland
of the Boston and Bangor line was along
side, and those on board with their baggage
were transferred to her aud taken to Rock
land. Previous TO the arrival of the Rock
land fourteen women, five children and tive
az
Owls Head The City of Portland lies with
only her bow above water and is rapidly
breaking up. She had on board seventy five
passengers, ffty-three officers and crew and
very light freight. It was clear and light
at the time of the accident and the buoy
could be plainly seen about thirty feet from
the steamer. A heavy sea was running.
When the steamer struck the pumps were
started at once, distress colors set and the
boats cleared. The officers and crew were
cool aud the passengers behaved we'll. The
sloop which first answered the signal and
| took off two boat leads was the Foam of
Owls Head, Captain Wallace. The pessen-
gers are we'll cared for here and will be for
warded to their destinations The captain OF
| the sloop Old Fisherman says the striped
buoy is out of position. Had the steamer
passed her width one side she would have
been all right. She was valued at 1926, 600.
| The insurance on the steamer City OF
| Portland amounts to $40, 900. The City OF
| Portland was formerly known as the New
| England. In 1870 she took fire while lyins
| at her wharf in the harboE of ST. John ano
| burned to the waters edge, several of the
crew perishing with her. She was after,

burden and a capacity for 100 passenger
and her crew including officers Comprised

equal to one-half the present tax and the ap-
preparation of the internal revenue tax

No one can complain of the pension tax be-

at the hotels pending the decision as to where

and several of the crew we're at the Albion
Hotel. Allen ia the hero of the hour and wears
his honors with becoming modesty. When
complimsnted upon his gallant bsha-

and did not do that any too

of Captain Munroe of the City of Rome
and while he is sure the City of Rome under

to be accurate with, he was equally sure Cap
tain Munroe was not aware of them, else he
would not have disregarded their request.
Mr.. Allan says the City of Rome answered
hsi signals with the pennant signal, which in
dictated that they were understood.
When asked if the lookout man
on the Florida was saved he said no.
When asked il he must not
have been asleep that he did not see the
bark's light he said emphatically no. When
asked how it was then that he did not report

The Pension Laws-Gener1I R9tter
Talks About the Proposed Changes.
BosroN, April The Glehs to-morrow
will print an interview with General Butler
in regard to the pension laws and proposed
changes therein. He condemns the action
of the committee on invalid pensions in Con-
gress saying that they are simply playing
into the hands of the claim agents and advo-
Gates, doing as our fathers did in 1s26-1s32
with the revolutionary soldiers. pensioning
all who served in any way in the war, fixing
q maximum for these who served through
and giving those who served less time pro-
portion of the maximum in the ratio of time
served. As in 1882 we have q large treasury
surplus. Then under Jackson it was used to
pension everybody and ths balance distribu-
ted among the States. The general advo-
Gates the pension part, but not the distribu-
ton. Suoh q pension plan carefully drawn
would entirely do away with claim agents.

proaeh of the time for opening the exposi-
ton.
Mr. Patton, of New York, said he could
find no constitutional grounds to warrant his
vote for the bill. IF this money was to be
granted let it be more properly granted as q
reconciliation fund to the South.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, expressed his surs
prise that the House should be in such haste
to make the gift of million dollars. He
denied the constitutional power of Congress
TO loan this money to this or any other cor
poration.
Mr.. Hunt, of Louisiana. replied to MIR.
Holman, defending the constitutionslity of
the bill and Remaining that economy AND
frugality were virtues, while parsimony was
a vice.
Mr.. Shaw, Of Illinois, opposed the bill and
suggested that the treasury be put on char
tered car attached to Barnum's circus and
carried around the world and exhibited.
The bill was then read by sections for
amendment and debate under she five minute
rule.
Mr.. Love, of Delaware, moved an amend
ment requiring bonds for the bona-fds re-
turn of the loan within two years without
interest. After long debate on the merits
Of the bill, the amendment was rejected.
Mr.. York, of North Carolina, moved an
amendment appropristing $500, 600 as loan
to the North Carolina State Fair association
on like conditions. He said if the surplus
in the treasury was to be loaned out he
wanted to secure her share TO North Caro-
lima. Ruled out on point of order.
s'What evidence have we, " asked Mr.. Har-
ris, 'sthat there will be any difference of
opinion between the two houses?''
"The fact that we have put amendments on
the bill, replied Mr.. Frye.
But" said Mr.. Harris, 'the merit of the
amendments may commend them to the
Judgment of the House." Mr.. Harris aP-
pealed to the Senator from Maine to let the
bill take the ordinary course. 1t was not
quite respectful for them to anticipate or as
sumo that the House would non-concur in the
deliberate Judgment of the Senate.
After further talk and no little confusion
Mr.. Sherman suggested that the question
should go over.
Mr.. Frye announced that he would let the
matter go over until tomorrow.
''The bill,'' said the chair, s'cannot go to
the House until the matter is disposed OFF,
An amendment was offered by Mr.. His

today declared the election law passed by the

The law provided for the election of local

question turned upon the word "free~
holders" The decision will restore the old
law and the old election machinery, by get
ting rid of which the Democrats hoped to
