Steamer Steinmann.

HALIFAX, April S.-Three wrecking
schooners are taking ont the cargo of
the wrecked steamer Steinmann. The
divers report the steamer upright and
the deck-houses in place, but the hull
shows signs of going to pieces. The
divers have not yet entered the cabin.
No bodies have yet been seen in the
vessel. 1t is the opinion of many ac-
quainted with the coast that most OF
the bodies outside the vessel would be
carried TO sea by the undertow. The
surviving passengers leave tomorrow
for New York. The opinion of seafar-
ing men acquainted with the approaches
to the harbor is unfayorable to the com
mander of the Steinmann, regarding
the working of his ship on the night Of
the disaster

Deformed Love.

Mary Ann fell desperately in love
with dude, but the imitation of man
had found out that the girl was not so
much an heiress as he had supposed,
and his love for her cooled down about
40 degrees. In fact his love for the
homely dulipe had fed forever, and Of
course, 80 .oo44ne distracted in body
and mind. She loved him deyotedly
and she shed many bitter tears over his
cold-blooded manner of speech.
She did not derive much consolation
from her mother, when she appealed to
her for sympathy.
The old lady gave her a little en-
couraeemert, though when she said,
Mary Ann, never did go much on de-
formed love-"
"Why, mother, why do you call my
heavenly love for that man deformed
loye?"
Because its all on one side my child.

The French in Tonanin.

PARIS, April S.-Ihe report in circu-
lation this morning that the French
troops will hold the Lang Son and Gao
Bang passes, and will then enter China
from the north side of the Gulf of Ton
quin and advance on Canton, is now of
ficially denied. Information coming d.
rectly from those in high authority
reaflirms the already published state
ment that after the capture of Hung
Hoa France will make a demand for in
demnity of 100000 francs, and then
await the action of the Chinese Govern
ment, as the Marquis Tseng has already
declared that an attack on Hung Hoa
will be considered rcausus belli. 1t is
probable the payment of the indemnity
will be refused

WASHINGTON, April S.-The House
Committee on Public Lands has re-
ported bills for the erection OF from
thirty TO forty public buildings in var
ious parts of the country. There is the
usual growl from those who ask aud do
not get building There are also four
or five times more Democratic districts
favored than Republican. A member
who made an investigation was SO inn
pressed by this discovery that he pro-
poses to make few remarks upon il in
the House at the first opportunity, I'M
less, probably, he learns that the bill for
public building in his own district is
likely to ret q favorable report.

that the present condition of the crops

wasting among members of the House

indications are favorable for the re-

they do not see much prospect of a re-

The Cincinnaii Riots.

TOLEDO, Ohio, April S.-The Com
mercial Telegram publishes a remark
able letter from distinguished citizen
of Cincinnati giving new version OF
the story of the riots. He states that
the home papers dare not tell all that
their reporters know about the riots;
that the Coroner dare not hold an in
quest because the testimony would show
that there was no mob, no need OF the
military. and no need for them TO open
fire; that they fired on unotfending
people; that such of the policemen and
militia as were shot were shot by the
military; that Sheriff Hawkins lost his
head that the firing was utterly uncalled
for and cowardly bystanders could
not believe that bullots were being fired
until they saw men falling. The letter
is very lengthy and euticises the entire
management Of the Governor and his
military staff, speaking with the utmost
severity of the Sheriff.
