next speaker. He said that the Democratic party was as young and vigorous in the fight as they were in 1860 and this would be seen before election day despite the fact that the Republican party was dragging the sacred name of Ireland into the contest, but it was too transparent The Celtics were not to be fooled. They knew their friends and their enemies also and he felt sure that the major ity of Irish citizens would vote for Cleveland and Hendricks. (Cheers).
 P. J. Hines, of Chicago, said that he under stood the object of the meeting to be pro test against the imputation that a certain element of the American people were silly enough to be humbugged in presidential election. He wished nishmen in this coun- try to show that they are loyal to the repub- lie, having the intelligence as well as the pa triotism to distinguish between the respective duties which they owe to the land of their birth and that of their adoption.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Hines remarks a vote of thanks to the speakers to whose eff forts the success of the demonstration was due was carried with enthusiasm and as the band played Home, Sweet Home" the vast gathering dispersed.

A STEAMER RUN DOWN.
Crashed Into by a Tug Crowded
 Steamer Goes to the Bottom.

 Steamer Goes to the Bottom.
 BosToN, Aug. 2S.-The steamer Rose Standish of the Boston and Hingham line, plying between Rowe's wharf in this city and Nantasket, was run into by the tug Wesley A. Cove at 5:15 p. m. just after leaving her wharf with 125 passengers on board She was struck on the starboard side just for ward of the wheel and cut nearly in two. The water at once poured in torrents into a gaping wound in her side. The boilers were injured and the escaping steam drove the en- gineer and fireman from their posts. Great confusion at once arose among the passen- gers, but several tugs at once put out to the steamer and the passengers were taken off in less than five minutes, not one getting even 8 wetting. In about seven minutes the Stanish settled down, listed slightly to port and went to the bottom where she lies in twenty feet of water, the smoke stack pilot house, starboard paddle box and part of the hurricane deck alone being visible The steamer had taken fire and would have burned if she had not sunk The officers of the Standish are unanimous in the opinion that the entire responsibility for the disaster rests on the managers of the tug. The latter refuse to talk. The steamer will be raised at once. The Standish was built in Brooklyn in 1863 and rebuilt in 1877 at heavy expense. Further repairs have been put on her of late and she was in first-class order. Her meas urement is 39S tons. It is believed that she can be made as good as ever after she has been raised and reported.

A Very Narrow Escape For His WhOI,
 Party at Newport.

Party at Newport.
 PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug 28.-A special dispatch to the Morning Star from Newport says: The presidential party had providen- tial escape from instant death this afternoon. The President, Secretary Chandler, Senators Aldrich, Hawley, Miller and other officials went outside on the torpedo boat Triana for the purpose of experimenting with torpedoes. They had exploded one successfully and had put another overheard preparatory to ex- ploding it and were standing on deck engaged in conversation, when without any inter ference whatever it prematurely exploded. No possible reason can be assigned for the explosion, which under the same circum- stances was liable to have occurred at any previous moment on board the vessel in which case she would with all on board have been blown to atoms The President re- mains on board the Dispatch tonight

 River Forts.
 PARIS, Aug 28.-A dispatch just received from Foo Chow states that the French iron clads again resumed the attack on the forts on the Min river between it's mouth and the arsenal at an early hour this morn ing. The forts at the Kinpai pass offered determined resistance. but the superiority of the French gunners soon began to tell on the works, Gun after gun was dislodged and shell after shell entered the forts until finally the Chinese be- came demoralized at the sight of the destruc- ton going on and fled from the them. Admiral Courbet then directed his attention to the forts higher up the river and made short work of them, as the Chinese garrisons had become panic striken at the sight and fire of the French fleet, and hastily abandoned the defenses, leaving the French masters of the whole line of Qualifications on the Min river up to the arsenal
 PARIS, Aug. 29.-Admiral Courbet, com manding the French feet engaged in the at tack on Foo Chow and the forts on the Min river te1egraphs the ministry of marine this evening as follows: q have destroyed the chief forts at the Kinpai after stubborn re- sistance lasting several hours. The Chinese fire was well directed, but none of the yes sels of the fleet were seriously injured. Our casualties thus far have been slight. I hope to be able to destroy or so cripple the re maining forts before nightfal that they will be unable to offer further resistance I have sent gunboat to the Pagoda Island to pro tect the cable which lands there and am now +I, <1f -irr does. So far I have been unable to locate these destructive explosives, but hope to have the entrance to the river clear of them by morning" ,"
