WASHINGTON, May S.-The session of the
Swain court of inquiry, to-day up to O'clock
when recess was taken, was occupied i'll cross
examination of Bateman. This cross examina-
ton directed principally to showing that there
had been dissatisfaction on the part of General
Swain with respect to the manner in which GER
tain business had been transacted for him by
Batenan & Co.. with the object, as Mr.. Calkins
counsel for Swain, explained to the court, of
showing that there might have been an honest
difference of opinion between Swain and Bate
man as to the accounts of the former The
principal transactions about which Bateman
was examined were the purchase of a claim
pending before the French and American
claims commission, Oh an award made
by that commission, and the purchase of
four thousand shares of Columbia Copper Mine
st,sk. Mr.. Calkins eDdeavored to secure acknowl
cdcment from the witness that General Swain
had authorized him to purchase an award
already made to one DAuturi, by the French
ana ~: rrioan claims commission, instead of the
unsettled claim which was purchased by the
witness. The latter however insisted that his
7rstrqr ions were to purchase the claim. and he
asserted that at the time those instructions
we're given award had been made by the
commissioners. The claim purchased was for

Bill to Pay Federal Court Officials by Salaries
Instead of Fees.


Instead of Fees.
Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
WASHINGTON May Sit is now pretty def
nitely settled that the House will tack to one of
the appropriation bills bill prepared by the
Springer committee providing for the payment
of services rendered by United States district at
torneys marshals, clerks of United States
courts and their deputies by salaries instead of
fees. This is the outgrowth of all these investi
cations by this committee The bill has been
for some time prepared and has been printed,
but having been passed around to numerous
senators and others for revision, is SO revised
that it is not in anything like its original shape,
and may be very much changed before it be-
comes a law; but that it will become a law there
is little doubt
To-day the Journal correspondent got glimpse
of the bill. 1t gives the district attorneys for
Indiana salary of s. 900 year. Indiana had
been placed in the $300o-ayear list, with
Northern and Southern Ohio and other districts,
but some one had reclaimed it partially. 1t
gives the district attorney for the district in
which is the city Of New York So, 900 year.
There are but three or four districts that will
get $1,000 year, and only the one named that
will go above that amount They are largely in
the 81, 500 column. The marshals will mostly
get 81 500 and So, 900 and the clerks of courts
little less

Further "Details of the Disaster.

MONTREAL, May S.--As soon as the Titania
was moored to the wharf she was boarded by the
custom house officers, the American consul and
representatives of the press. Shortly afterward
the crew and passengers of the wrecked steamer
came ashore in charge Of the agent of the State
line, who had secured accommodations for them
at the Albion Hotel. The first person seen was
a gentleman from London, Ont, who said he
was in the surgeons cabin and
had very narrow escape from
being crushed to death when the
Ponemia came crushing into the Florida amid
ships, with an awful crash. One of the crew of
the Ponemia went mad from exposure and want
of water, and died in the boat before the captain
and two others were picked up. The captain
awakened the passengers and told them they
must take to the boats instantly, but it appears
he made no effort to devise plan by which the
passengers could get into the boats. At the time
of the collision the captain was in his
cabin He rushed on deck in
his night dress and assumed command,
When the boats pushed away from the ship and
the most heartrending appeals for help were
heard until the final plunge. One of the boats
was hanging by one davt. Is was said this boat
was not considered safe, and the ropes were cut
to hinder any one using IT,
Walter King, of Toronto, occupied cabin
with gentleman named Bennett, and when the
ship was about going down, came to him and
said, For Gods sake, Bennett, stay
by me; / am not able to swim. "
Bennett and King then got into one of the boats
the lashings of which We're cut at one end, throw
ing all the occupants into the sea- Thirty per-
sons might have been saved but for this mishap.
Only seven were picked up. All night long they
could hear people grooming and struggling under
A. rOff hos had
lost friends, and one brother, their feelings can
be better imagined than described Toward
morning the noise ceased, the struglers had
succumbed Those rescued broke through the
bottom of the boat with oars. and horrible
sight met their eyes. Eight bodies were floating
there while man named Donaldson was still
alive, though unconscious from the effects Of
long imprisonment.
The passengers say the conduct of the captain
of the City of Rome was shameful, as that
steamer passed net more than half mile from
them, and might easily have stopped for short
time and taken them all off the barque.
When asked to explain why so few passengers
were saved one of them said 1T was all their own
fault When it is remembered that within fifteen
minutes after the vessels were in collision the
Florida went down. it will be seen that the sud
denness of the catastrophe prevented anybody
being saved except those who kept their wits
about them and leaped into the boats.
Andrew n. Steele, surgeon of the Montreal,
has made statement similar to the foregoing.
He says King got back to the steamer and won't
down with her. He also says the captain blew
three whistles when the vessel was sinking, and
upon being asked the reason for this, said 1t was

Wreck of the Steamer City of Portland-Pas-
sengers All Rescued.
RoCKLAND, Me-, May S.-The steamer City of
Portland, plying between Portland and St John,
N. B., struck on Grindstone ledge, Owlshead,
this morning. The steamer left Portland last
night, with seventy passengers and two-thirds of
a cargo. The night was clear. As day was
breaking the first pilot sighted the striped buoy
on the port-bow, between Sheep and Fisher
mans islands, and in a few minutes the steamer
struck the ledge. She slid on amidships and
stuck fast. The pumps were started and dis
tress eolors set. The boats were cleared, and
officers and crew being cool, the passengers be-
drove to Rockland, six miles, for help. The
steamer RoekIand promptly answered, and
reached the scene at $50. Meantime
sloop from Owlshead had an
swered the signals and two boat
loads of women and children were transferred
to the sloop. The remainder Of the passengers
with the baggage, express freight etc, were put
aboard the Rockland and brought to this city,
The passengers are well cared for here and will
be forwarded
The captain of a sloop at Fisherman island
says THE striped buoy was out of position,
and had the steamer passed within one width on
the other side of the buoy she would have been
all right"
The City of Portland was formerly called the
New England. She was built twelve years ago,
and was valued at $I25,00a It is understood
there was no marine insurance. A heavy east
