Accompanying the letter is draft of a
bill to be introduced in Congress, forfeit

Narrow Escape of Captain Handy Holt
and His Crew.

anu his CreW.
PHILADELPHIA, March 10 Captain
Handy Holt of the steam-tug George g.
Simpson arrived here from Delaware
breakwater yesterday. His boat was
sunk in the storm on Sunday night, and it
had been reported that the captain, his
wife and the crew had lost their lives.
Captain Holt last night gave an account
of his terrible experience. When the
storm first made its appearance several
tugs took refuge alongside the steamboat
pier of the breakwater. The gale grew so
violent, however, that the boats were
driven with terrible force against
the heavy piles which sup
ported the pier. Finally these
piles gave way and the entire pier was
demolished. The tugs were dashed about
by the waves like so many corks, and the
anchors which were lowered, had nc
effect whatever. All the tugs except the
Simpson succeeded in reaching the beach,
where they capsized and the crews es
capped to the shore. The Simpson became
unmanageable and was being rapidly
driven toward the stone break water,
where she would certainly be dashed to
pieces. The tug Protector was lying at
anchor near the sea wall. At great risk
to the safety of his own vessel, the
captain of the Protector threw line to
the Simpson and hauled the two boats
together. The Simpson, however, could
only be held long enough for the captain,
Mrs. Holt, the engineer and fireman to
leap to the Protector. Mrs. Holt was
caught in the arms of Captain Milford,
but Captain Holt fell to the deck and his
head was badly cut. A few minutes later
the Simpsons deck houses were washed
away and she sank. Captain Holt re-
ports that three bodies have been washed
ashore at Lewes. Two schooners are sunk
and twenty one other vessels are ashore
on the beach.

Want the Receiver D1scbareed.

CINCINNATI, March 15.-The stockhold-
ers of the Metropolitan Bank are circu-
lating for signatures paper to be pre-
sented to Comptroller Trenholm. asking
him to apply tie money now ia the Re-
ceiver's hands to the payment of claims,
the amount, in their belief, being more
than sufficient to meet all demands, and
to discharge the Receiver and turn over
the property of the bank to the Board OF
Directors. Promoters of this scheme
claim that it is not hostile to the Receiv.
or, but that he now holds 500, COP more
than the claims against the bank, and
that the directors can get more out of the
remaining assets than any receiver could.

The Central Pacific's Proposition to Re-

The Central Pacific's Proposition to Re-
fund It's Indebtedne IS to the Govern
ment.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Ex-Senator
j. E. Mcdonald, of Indiana. attorney for
the Cen trail Pacific, made an argument
yesterday morning before the House COM
mi ttee on Pacific railroads in support of
that company's proposition to refund it's
indebtedness to the Government, which is
similar to that of the Southern Pacific.
He argued that the only security the
Government had for it's loan of fifty mill
lions of dollars to the company was a SEQ
ond mortgage OF. 1877 miles of
road in the system of the
Central Pacific, and 120 miles outside
of it; that the principal and accrued in
terest aggregated probably seventy mill
ion dollars; that the road cost only
thirty-seven million dollars original
Iy, and could probably be duplicated
now for half that amount He
said there was no covenant in the charter
making personal liability, and that the
Government could not compel the stock
holders to make up the deficit. In any
event the Government could not proceed
to make a collection until 1899, when tbs
principal becomes due.
