TUE LOSS OF THE OREGON.
An Old Ship Captain Gives His Opinion
of the Cause.

Everybody in this part of the country
knows Captain Morton of Essex, who is
one of the most thorough and typical sail
Ols in the country, and who served for
years as chief steamship officer on one of
the principal lines centering at New York.
He sends us his opinion Of the disaster
which caused the loss of the Oregon and
we print it rs one OF the most valuable
contributions to the literature Of this fruit
full subject Captain Morton says;
will tell you what | think was the
cause of the OregOn's loss. The passage
ways from one bulkhGad to the other We're
open. The ship was near port and all
steamship officers know how important
time is in getting those large cargoes out
ready to take in the homeward cargo,
These ships often sail in four or five days
after arrival. | was in the employ of the
New York and Brazil steamship company
pier 49, next to the Guion Line, and it
was night and day work on board of them
from the time they arrived until they
sailed again. My opinion is that the crew
were at work in the hold, running cargo
toward he matches. Another thing, as
you near port III one of these ships, coal
that is often slowed in the hold has to he
wheeled to the bunkers. More than one
OF two compartments must have filled, or
she would never have gone down. Oh
course there are strict orders against
opening the passage ways at sea, but the
officers of such Il ship cannot always know
that orders are obeyed, and when near
port permission is given, under circum-
stances above described. Three masted
sChooners are oftener above 800 tons bur
then than below it, sharp as IA wedge.
| The Oregon was going IS or 20 knots. Al
Memphis one of our Rams going about
that speed cut the rebel fleet completely
in two, going right through one of theil
vessels, turning all their fleet heads ant
stearns so that we captured and secured
all of them. Then, 1 O'Clock a. M. is the
time, if ever, for a lookout to go to sleep
Lights get dim, as all seamen know
After we got to sea in II large steamship
the old captain said to me, in giving hi
orders for the night. and now, sir,
want you to remember one thing. If yol
ever see light in the night, steer RICH
away from it. Don't have any curiosity t.
find out which way shells heading. Ge
your ships head away from her and you
will never have collision. For one o
these sailing vessels, particularly, thes
deep loaded coasters, if they get Il littl
too near a steamship, will down helm ant

WESTERN UNION AVARICE.
Disclosures of Representatives of Kansas
City Journals.

WASHINGTON, March CSC NJ. Ayres
appeared before the House committee on
postotfices and post roads to-day in be-
half of the Kansas City Times and Kansas
City journal and submitted statement
by j. A. Mann, the Journals business
manager, together with letter from Nor
rison Mumford, proprietor of the Times,
and several communications that had
passed between the latter and the Western
Union managers relative to the news con
tracts Of the Times. Mann's statement
was read as follows "For years the news
papers of Kansas City have been at the
mercy of the Western Union. With the
consolidation of that company and the
American Union and Mutual Union com

ures characteristic of the Western Union

had contained clauses binding the papers
to use Western Union lines and no other.
The press of Kansas City had to sue

be said to have been made under duresS IN
every instance.
1t is believed, with good reason, by the
writer that not n single agreement mas
been made by any paper with this com
pany, in live years, except under protest.
The delivery of even our regular report
was threatened to be withheld by the
Western Union if we failed To give the
Western Union all our special bust
ness. This jeopardzed the foundation of
our telegraphic surface. 1t is proper TO
say that we violated the repugnant con
tracts only after long and weary efforts to
obtain fair measure Of relief at the hands
of the Western Union. We were threat
ened that unless we signed there contracts
we should be put upon IA higher scale OF
special rates practically ruinous. Ol
course we signed. A year later modln
cation of this contract was submitted sus

being somewhat lower in its tariff, 1t was

BELGIAN RIOTS.


SERAING, Belgium, March ga party
of anarchists backed b., a large mob of
unemployed miners and other working
men, formed in II compact body and were
about to renew the work of wrecking the
mines and machine shops, when Il pla-
toon of gendarmes charged upon them.
As the soldiers approached they We're met
by several shots from revolvers in the
hands of anarchists. One soldier was Sc
riously wounded and two or three others
received slight flesh wounds. The sol
diers were eXaSperated AT the casualties Of
OF their comrades and finally the com
handing officer gave the order to lire.
Two volleys of ball cartridge were fired
directly into the mob, and then the order
was given to charge. The street was soon
cleared at the point of the bayonet, but
scores of wounded anarchists and work
ingmen We're left lying on the ground.
All of these men were removed to the
prison hospital. This ended the open riot
ing, hut the insurgents have only been
made more sullen and desperate by their
disasters. They are now plotting together
in small groups. and it is believed that
many incendary attempts will be made
upon the workshops whose owners are
charged with having treated their men
| with cruelty and injustice.
