statement or the Captain Of the
city Of Rome
NEw York, May I2.-Captain Mum
roe, OF the steamer City Of Rome, stated
that, on April 23d, while passing six
sailing vessels almost becain,ed, within
two or three miles OF each other, east, a
full. rigged ship was observed from two
to three miles of, displaying signals
which were interpreted by me: "Ship
wrecked; crew safe" But no urgency
signal was displayed, or II fsiispiayed. was
not seen, nor was the name or national
ity OF the ship given. Had q signal of
disiress or urgency been seen 1t would
have had immediate attention As the
day was calm, the signals dropping, they
were dfhcuit to make cut, but 1t would
have been easy for the vessel to put out
a boat which could have intercepted
the City OF Rome. After the arrival
at Liverpool. hearing that the State Line
steamer was overdue the incident became
connected in my mind with the ndis
tinct signals, When | atsonco reported
my conjecture. certainly would be
the last man TO neglect the duty that |
every seaman should render assistance
to any one in distress at sea, having
on more than Que occasion been indebted |
to others for the preservation OF my own
life The second and fourth officers, on
watch at tho time OF the signalling, GER
tify their adherence to Mnnroe's state
ment.

mig Cut I'm Passe niger Rates.
DENVER, Col, May l2.-For several
days passenger rates from Denver to the
Missouri river have been in very un-
settled condition, but not until to- day
has the cut been openly declared The
agents OF the Burlington, Missouri, Un-
ion Pacific and Atchison, Topeka Il Santa
Fe announce cut unprecedented in the
history of Western roads. viz, S. to
Kansas City; st. Louis, IS 90; Chicago.
Sl4 so; Now York, S23. In fact they
are selling tiosets to any of the prin-
eipal Eastern points from Kan
sas City at the rate to that
point, and as the eastern roads refuse to
pro rate or cut, the result is that the
above named roads are carrying through
passengers free to Kansas City. Pool
Commissioner Daniels, to-day, issued a
circular ordering the restoration of rates,
to take effect on the fifteenth inst. This
order will be surely ignored.

Report OF the CiacinnatI Grand
Jury.
CINcINNATI, May l2.-The special
Grand Jury, appointed to consider
crimes in connection with the hot and
the burning of the courthouse, made
their report to-day to Judge Avery.
The report treats ut length of the causes
leading to the riot and speaks of the
common report that jurors were bribed,
of the general complaint that the courts
permit too many delays and that good
citizens avoided jury duty to the detri-
ment of the fair administration of
justice. 1t also points out defects
in the criminal code. The report
comments highly the conduct of the
Fourteenth Regiment at the time of the
riot and praises the bravery of Captain
Desmond, who lost his life in the Court
House. Fiftyf four indictments were re-
turned, covering twelve different grades
OF crime, but nothing further will be
divulged concerning these until arrests
are made. Judge Avery, in receiving
the report, made brief defence of the
courts and remarked that the public
would judge whether the jury had done
its work we'll or not.
