KEoKUK, Ia, May 28.-After Mr.. Williams re-
ceived the appointment of marshal of the Softh
ern Iowa district, and found that it was likely to
occasion some criticism of the administration at
Washington he placed his resignation in the
hands of the Department of Justice, to be used
in any manner deemed best for the Democratic
party, and to avoid causing the department any
embarrasments complication growing out of
the appointment; and when, consequently, he re-
ceived word, yesterday afternoon, that his resig
nation had been accepted, he was not surprised.
To the friends who were willing to stand by him,
he expresses the heartiest thanks. Otherwise he
is Indifferent to the whole matter excepting the
falsehoods maliciously circulated about his De-
mocracy at Washington He hopes Mr.. Camp
bell will so conduct himself in Office as to honor
his appointment

RUN DOWN AT SEA.
A Fishing Bark Cut in Two and Sunk by an
Atlantic Liner-Several Lives Lost.

New YORK, May 2s.-The Tribune says: 1.-THE
steamer City of Rome, of the Anchor line.
reached here today, having on board, besides
her ,S62 regular passengers, two French fisher
men, the only survivors of the French fishing
bark George Jeanne which was sunk by the
City of Rome, on May 25. The names
of the rescued are: Herbert Albert and Frank
Alphonse Mare. Capt r. d. Muro, of the
City of Rome was too much broken up by the
remembrance of the scene to give any more
than brief statement The steamer left Liver
pool May 5. The weather was fine until Mon
day, when. after a bright morning y dense fog
came OF. 1t was so thick that from the bow
of the boat it was difficult to SEQ
one hundred feet ahead. A great many
lcebergs were passed Between / and q
p. NJ, the captain asserts, the vessels
pace was slackened to half speed, and fully real
izing the danger, every precation was taken.
Bells were rung and whistles sounded contnu-
ously. AT 4:3O, when the fog was thickest, the
men forward saw the spars and masts of a bark
appear in the mist barely twenty feet away
The bark lay at anchor, and. according to
the Captains story, was not ringing its
BELL or keeping lookout. The signal
to reverse the engines was given, but she struck
the little bark, and her iron bow cut through the
George Jeanne with as little resistance as f il
were piece OF cheese. The people on the CITY
OF Rome saw few barefooted fishermen run
ming frantically forward on the bark. The air
was filed with their cries, the shrill EXPLANATIONS
of horror from the deck of the steamer, and
the hoarse sounding of the steamers fog-horn,
and then the bark went out of sight A few
spars fioated on the sea, and four men could be
seen struggling in the water. Life buoys
thrown to them, and the steamer stopped and
backed to where they had been seen, and boats
were lowered. By this time one of
the four fishermen had gunk two
were clingiDg to the buoys, and one float
ing alongside of the steamer A man
by the name Of Turner had himself lowered bya
rope. and with another rope which he put about
the Frenchman's arms and neck, signaled for
the men on deck to haul away. Strong arms
pulled him half way up the side of the boat when
the loop slipped over the head and he fell back
into the water and sank out of sight This man
was the captain Of the bark, Joseph Blondin-
The other two were picked up by the boats
The steerage passengers who landed from tho
City of Rome declared with one accord that the
steamer was making at least fourteen knots
an hour when the collision occurred
The lost fishermen were all married A steerage
passenger declared the officers on the steamer
were watching the passengers leaping and Jump
ing and were not keeping proper lookout A
memorial was presented to Captain Muro. signed
by the passengers praising his efforts to save
the survivors.

Its Members Trying to Make Good Use of the
Present Holiday.
LONDON, May 28-There is no doubt that the
Ministry is turning this unusually long Whitsun-
tide holiday to the best use, in making every eff
fort to have definite decisions to present when
Parliament meets. Lord Rosebery's visit to
Berlin is, of course of the highest Importance:
especially so because of its unofficial character
1t will be remembered that Lord Rosebery's re-
lations with Mr. Gladstone have been of the most
intimate and personal kind 1t used to be said
that the Egyptian war was Matched in his par
Tors. Perhaps now he may be the agent of Eu-
ropean peace.
The Marquis of Harrington is in the north of
Ireland, opening political club. Sir Charles
Dixie is in Dublin comforting with Earl Spencer.
Mr.. Errington is there also, trying to carry out
the governments scheme to play off the Catho-
lies against the Nationalist by securing a loyal
archbishop. Mr. Chamberlain is in Paris. It
would be strange If the Ministry did not find
grounds for decisive action. Many pieces of in
formation are sure to be brought back from all
these sources. Mr.. Gladstone alone rests He
is almost Ill at Hawarden.

Half OF the present Parliament will not offer

beginning to be felt all sides as to the char

ment, members knowing that they had nothing
to risk in voting as they pleased The coming

Testimony that May Eventually Sentence
Chesley Chambers.
Louisville Commercial
A chain of evidence is being wound slowly but
surely around CHI sley Chambers, the supposed
Monon express robber and murderer, by which
it is surely expected that he will be convicted al
his approaching trial. nephew of Chambers
has been found who throws entirely different
light on the-subjeet. 1t has been found that this
family OF the boy have been instructing him how
to testify, and at the preliminary trial he did
testify according to such instructions and
falsely.
Allen, the brother of the murderer, testified
that Chesley was at home at 8 o'clock ON the
night of the robbery, and yet the boy who slept
with him now states that such was not the case,
but that his people had told him to testify that
he was He was closely questioned, with tho
following result:
Did you say that Chesley was at home the
night of the robbery
mo, he was not at home, but the folks told
me to say that he was"
did he go to bed with your
mo, he was not there, but they told me TO. say
he was"
WAS he there in the morning when you woke
upan
They say he was but he was not"
Not only this. but it is known that Chesiey
Chambers has since May paid off debts to the
amount of 500, and he can make no clear state
ment where he got this money. His family
swore that Chambers was at home all day the
18th of April, and, yet witnesses will prove that
he was in Smithville, four miles from home on
the afternoon of that day, and at Mitchell,
twenty-five miles below, at 8 o'clock the same
night. This will be strong evidence to convict
as it destroys the alibi which is the prisoners
hope for escape
The express messenger George Davis, who
was so seriously wounded, is gradually recov-
ering, and will probably be able to testify at the
trial The shock was so fearful that his mind
has been very much affected, and fears were
entertained that even though ne recovered this
trouble would be permanent, bat such has not
been the case, and it is believed that lie win
now entirely recover his reason. He states shat
he will be able to identify the robber and muir
derer at sight This crime is still attracting a
great deal of attention in Indiana, and great
deal Of. money will be spent by both sides The
railroad company have signifed their intention
of paying over the reward of $4,000 as soon as
the guilty party is convicted.
