ANOTHER STEAMER LOST.

1
The Steamship City of Portland Wrecked
ON Grind-Stone Ledge, OF tho Coast of
Maine-The Crew and Passengers all
Saved.
| RoCKLANp, NE. May Q.
The steamer City of Portland,
plying between Portland and St.
John, N. B., struck on the Grind
stone ledge, Owls Head, yesterday
morning. The steamer left Portland
Wednesday night with seventy passengers
and two-thirds cargo. The night was
clear. AS day was breaking the first
pilot sighted astriped buoy on the port
bow between Sheep and Fisherman's
Islands. In a few minutes the steamer
struck the ledge, slid on amidship and
stuck fast. The pumps were started, the
distress colors set and boats cleared. The
officers and crew were cool and the pas
sengers behaved well. The captain
landed in o boat and drove to Rockland,
six miles, for help.
The steamer Rockland promptly an
sWered, and reached the scene at $3.50.
In the meantime sloop from Owls
Head answered the signals, aud two.
boat-loads of women and children were
transferred to the sloop. The rest of the
passengers, with the baggage, express
freight, ETC., were put aboard the Rockland
and brought to this city. The passengers
were well cared for here, and will be for
Warded.
The Captain of the 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, formerly called
the New England, was rebuilt twelve
years ago.
She is valued at $125,o00. Heavy east
erly gales were prevailing. The steamer
is rapidly breaking up. The hull and
cargo will be total loss.
When the revenue cutter left the wreck
OF the City of Portland, at six O'Clock last
evening, the steamer bad broken in two
and all the upper works were gone and
the sea was increasing in violence. It
will soon destroy what remains of the
vessel.
The steamer struck going at full speed
and striking hard enough to prevent slid
ing off, thus escaping the additional hor-
ror of drowning all on board. Captain
Larcom was in bed at the time. When
he retired the steamer was on the out
side course, but as the weather was
when she reached Mauhegan,
the first pilot, Bibber, altered her coarse
to Mustridge. The passengers were
mostly bound to East Portland and St.

THE MORRISON BILL.

The Enacting Clause Stricken From the
Morrison Tariff Bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives by a Vote OF 159 to 155-Excit.
ing Scenes In the Hall.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 9.
! Amid the plaudits of the Republican
Iprotectionists, and the equally loud plau-
dts and cheers of thirty-nine boiling
Democrats, the revenue reformers late
yesterday afternoon heard the announce
ment of Speaker Carlisle that the vote on
the motion to strike out the enacting
clause of the Morrison bill
was carried, 159 to 155. The Republican
members fairly yelled. They all stood
up. Some jumped upon the desks and
chairs and shouted and waved handker-
chiefs. These demonstrations of delight
were responded to by the Randall men,
who clapped their hands and cheered
boisterousIy and long over their victory
for protection. Randall himself
was conspicuous in his dis
play OF rejoicing. Thus was ended,
so far as this session is concerned,
the effort to reduce taxation. That is
the meaning of to-day's vote, for ma
jority of the House has not only rejected
the Morrison bin, but, by striking out
the eRacting clause of that bin before it
had been considered by paragraphs, ithas
decided that there should be-no tariff
legislation at this session. The tariff
issue goes to the people.
The protectionists will not attempt to
revive an agitation in favor of repeating
the tobacco tax in order to reduce the
surplus revenues. But If there is one
thing more certain than another it is. that
the tariff reformers will defeat ali at
tempts to reduce or repeal internal, taxes
In advance of tariff reduction
OF the thirty-nine boiling Democrats
who voted with the Republican protec-
tioniSts to-day twelve come from Penn
sylvania, eight from Ohio, FIVE from New
York, five from California, three from
New Jersey and one from each of the
States of Connecticut, West Virginia,
Virginia, Maryland, Illinois and Louis
lana.
Although the result of the days work
was not wholly unexpected by Morrison
and other revenue reformers, yet, of
course it has brought disappointment.
They EEL that small minority Of the
Democrats have dealt their party an I'm.
worthy, and uniustifable blow, utterly
without excuse III view Of the fact that
even the consideration OF the bill by par
agraphs and sections has been prevented.
But the lines are now sharply drawn and
the leaders of the House will appeal to-
the people.

About 2:30 this morning the clerk at the

east of the hotel, and, going out to find
what caused the noise, discovered J. r.

Office, lying in the alley in an
unconscious condition. Sergeant Ryan
and another officer responded to a call for
aid, and, summoning an ambulance had the
wounded man conveyed to the Dispen-
sary. An examination by the surgeon
revealed the fact that the young mans
back was PROBABLY broken, and that he
was otherwise severely injured, so that
his recovery is beyond hope. The in
jureG il IN was afterward conveyed to
the City. Hospital. Kirkup has been
dsss9king heavily and came into the
hotel lasf5 night about midnight under

young man about twenty two years of age
and is from Montreal, Canada. He has

[By Bsizabeth Robins in February. AtlanticJ
 While the first outcasts robbed and mur- dered and begged from necessity, their de- scendsnts to-day do so in order to fulfill what they consider to be social obligation. With the blindness of the heroes of Greek tragedy, they, in an early period. bound themselves irrevocably to their fate by adopt ing distinctions of caste similar to and inex- orable as those which had wrought their wretchedness. There are castes even among outcasts. Pariahs are, in consequence, &s Jealous of their impurity as Brahmans are of their purity. The privileges and restrictions of their own making are more serious im- pediments in the way of their improvement than the enmity of the ''twice-born," or Hindu aristocracy. Their vital principle of belief is that the most unpardonabie of all offenses is for an outcast to desert the tribe in which he is born, or abandon the profes- sion of his fathers In their social starva- ton, they themselves reject the meat and drink that could save them. Intermarriages are as strictly avoided by professional crimi- naIs and vagrants as if the laws of Manu had been made for them. Hindu Thug, in the palmy days of Thuggee, would have died rather than marry one of his daughters or sisters to 8 brother murderer who professed the creed of Mohammed. The Mangs, whose poverty and squalor are unrivaled, would in dignantly refuse Brahman who might offer himself in marriage. Among these people, Lazarus, while he might eagerly eeize the crumbs from Dives table, would scruple sitting at it with him. The Chenchwars carry their contempt for all castes and tribes but their own to such an extent that they de- clare they live in the jungle for the sake of health, because there the smell of other men cannot reach them.
 The criminals estimation of the crime pe- culiar to his family is 8 serious realization of FaIstaff' s ideas as to the moral value of bis purloining of purses: s'Why, Hal, it is my vocatieRi ,Tis no sin for man to labor in his vocation?" When 8 Thug strangler was asked whether he never felt remorse after killing innocent people, he answered in per- feet good faith, stDoes any man feel com junction in following his trade, and are not all our trades assigned us by Providence?" Conscientious scruples might as well be ex- pected of a spider feasting on the flies in it's nets, or of tiger deVouring it's human vic tinas. Nor are the pariahs feelings on the subject merely negative. The most confirmed criminal and the most good for nothing vag- abond alike take real pride in their wicked ness and vileness. Men of the caste of Calaris, when interrogated as to their trade, with thorough self satisfaction proclaim ment which Thug could receive was praise of his skill as single handed strangler The very word Thug signifies deeeiyer. Phansi- gar, Ari Tulucar, Tanti Callern, Warlu Wshudlu, as stranglers have been caiieo m
