HALIFAX, April 25.-Capt. Scott, in
his official report Of the result of the
inquiry into the loss of the steamer
DaNiel Steinmann, says Captain
S;choonhoven made no observations
the day of the disaster, and was there
fore uncertain of his position. The
night was dark, foggy and rainy. and
it was highly imprudent, under all the
circumstances, to attempt to enter the
port of Halifax. 1t was plainly his
duty to haul off from shore until able
to verify his position, and obtain a
pilot. To these circumstances, also,
can be attributed the loss of a fine

THE FIRE.
Its Origin and Extent.

At 8 o'clock last night the bell in
the police tower informed the public
OF the existence of a fire in the Ninth
ward. 1t was in the small grain and
feed store of jeff Randolph Il Co, GA
East Pecan street, and originated, It's
thought by Mr.. Randolph. from sparks
of fire dropped from the pipe of a
friend who was with him when be
closed the doors, at $50. That this is
the true theory there can be hardly a
doubt. The fire was promptly extin-
guished at the cost of thorough
drenching to the establishment.
Mr.. Randolph estimated the stock
in the building at about 800, with
an insurance of $3.50 in the agency of
L. w. Stands u Sons. The actual
damage to the stock by water will be
perhaps about one-third. While this
fire was not disastrous in its extent, it
would have been had it not been so
promptly checked, az it was sur
rounded by plenty of combustible
material upon which to feed.
1t serves, however, as an admoni-
ton to all, that too much care cannot
be taken to prevent the introduction
of the fiery element.

the revised statutes, in relation to thu
Der depredations, was passed. Ii pre-
tects the Indian reservations from
unlawful cutting of timber.
The bill defining the title and duties
of certain officers of the medical de-
partment of the army passed. 1t pre-
scribeS the rank of colonel will be
styled assistant surgeon-general. and
the office with rank of lieutenant
colonel be styled deputy surgeon-gen-
eral, with rank and pay as at present.

special order, being bill to establish
bereau of animal industry, to prt-
vent the expectation OF diseased
cattle and provide for the extirpation
of pluro-pneumonia and other conta-
gious diseases among domestic ami
mails. The house bill was substituted
for senate bill.
Plumb said the cattle interests of
the country were unanimously in IA
vor of the legislation proposed by the
bill.
Coke, of Texas, severely criticized
the department of agriculture for
spreading false reports of the nature
of disease among American cattle.
He had carefully read the consular
reports and found no pre-
tense any animal ever having
foot and mouth disease of pleuro
pneumonia ever having been landed
in England or any other European
country. If the bill passed with the
power which it gives
the commissioner of agriculture, Coke
would recommend that his people get
rid of their cotton as soon as possible.
There was but one reason, he thought,
why the agricultural department had
given such wife publicity to the alb
ed reports about cattle |

nent was - aimed to aggrandiZe |
