The San Pa bio Stranded.

SAN Francisco, April 21.-A dis
patch to the Merchants Exchange
from Shanghai states thatthe Oriental
and Occidental Steamship Company's
steamer San Pablo, from this port for
Yokohama and Hongkopg, stranded
near Turnabout Island. The passen-
gers, mails and specie have arrived at
Shanghai, and assistance has been
sent to the vessel. The San Pablo
sailed from here March "a, and ar
rived at Yokohama April 18th. She
was on her way to Hopgkong at the
time Of the accident.
A British steamer arrived at Shang-
hal and brought the news of the
stranding of the steamer San Pablo on
Turnabout Island, which is little
more than sand-pile in the channel
OF Formosa near the A5iatic coast.
The British steamer left a force OF
men with the San Pablo and on ar
rival at Shanghai a number of tugs
provided with com plete wrecking ap-
pIiances were sent to the scene Of the
disaster several hundred miles away.
At the Office of the Occidental and
Oriental Company in this city hope is
expressed that the steamer will be
HAULED OFF SAFELY,
But the officers Of the company feel
considerable anxiety, as the point
where the vessel is stranded is eaid to
be one of the most dangerous on the
China coast. The San Pablo was one
of the finest vessels that enters this
harbor. She was built in 1888 and
was completely remodeled last sum
mer. She was valued at $3.50 900
The Pacific Improvement Company
which owns the vessel, insures it,
own property and the underwriters
will lose nothing if the vessel is lost
The steamer was chartered by the
Occidental and Oriental Steamship
Company, which company and also
the Pacific improvement Company
are regarded as branches of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company. The
San Pablo's cargo, exclusive of the
treasure shipped, which latter has ar
rived safely at Shanghai, was valued
at $75, 900.

FIoquet On French Affairs.

PARIS, April 21.--In the Senate to-
day the Premier, Floquet, referring
to the proposed revision of the consti-
tuition, said the majority Of the COM
mittee elected by the Chamber had
agreed to postpone action. If it
should be found necessary to
change the relation of Church and
State, it would not be done WITH
a view of attaching religious
place, or of liberty OF conscience if the
cabinet should be obliged to propose
a reform of the State it would first ask
the Senate to deliberate on the pro-
posals. He added that to struggle
against existing dangers they must
show that a free exercise OF parlia-
mentary institutions can give the sat.
isfaction sought in a dictatorship.

but was met with opposition from the
other traders. He had some difficulty
in making deals, and suddenly opened
up with TRADE of not particularly
choice language to the effect that he
had paid out S750,000 in st. Louis,
hence his demand for a settlement.
The money was ready for any who
had failed to call. After that he was
met with a better feeling and traded
his full share. His losses will not
reach half a million, as first stated,
and as he pays 100 cents on the dol
lar, and has plenty left, he is not be-
lieved to be in SO bad a fix as as was
at first stated by himself.

WASHINGTON, April 81. = In the
House to-day a contest arose for con
'sideration between the special order
on the Homestead bill and the River
and Harbor BILL. Finally the House
refused, yeas IS. nays 1875, to consider
the special order, and the House went
into Committee OF the Whole, Nc
MILAN of Tennessee in the chair, on
the River and Harbor bill.
An amendment appropriating
$3.50 0000 for the improvement of the
harbor OF Philadelphia was adopted.
Henderson, of Iowa, speaking OF a
verbal amendment, regretted that he
could not give his amendment to the
bill. 1t made appropriation for
rivers and harbors which it would test
the geographical knowledge of any
gentleman to locate. The Forty-Sey-
enth Congress had passed River and
Harbor bill of $1S,O0O,0OO, and the
Democrats had gone into
THE NEXT CAUCUS
And painted on their banners: "Down
with the Republican party" because it
passed this enormous bill. The ver-
dict of the people had been against
this appropriation with this piece of
history in their memory. He did not
propose to vote for bill which went
beyond that which had been con-
demned by the people in 1892.
Without further action the commit
tee rose and the House adjourned.
Breckenridge's copyright bill was
to-day favorably reported to the Houge
from the Judiciary Committee.
The Dunn free-ship bill reported to
the house to-day by the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries is
identical with the bill reported to the
last Congress with the exception of an
amendment limiting the business of
foreign built vessels admitted to the
American registry for foreign trade
and expressly prohibiting them from
engaging in the coastwise trade of the
United States. The majority of the
report is also similar to that which
accompanied the former bill when it
was reported upon during the last
Congress with the addition of state
ment that to longer retain in force
THE sUPERANNUATED
So-called protection to our merchant
marine and shipbuilding interests of
our country, which have produced the
present disastrous and humiliating
conditions, would seem to be worse
than ordinary folly and would be pro-
lection run mad. The minority re-
port, signed by Dingley, Far
quahar, Hopkins, FELTON,, Cum
mings and Clark, says that the bill
originated in remarkable manner
and asserts that not single person or
association having connection with
the interests touched upon by the bill
has by personal appeal or petition
asked for the enactment OF the bill in
to law. The minority says the re-
suit of it's enactment would be most
disastrous and would entirely kill
ship building in this country, besides
inflicting o Eer damage, and doubts as
to whether foreign vessels could be
kept out OF the coast trade after get
ting an American register.

spicuous was large wreath of Gala
lilies intertwined with blue immor-
telles, attached to which was a plain
white card bearing the words: The
President.
CONSIGNED TO THE TOMB.
The Calvary church was filled to
overfowing long before two O'Clock.
Upon arrival the procession was met
at the entrance of the church by rec
tor Rev. A. B. Goodrich. When all
were settled the burial anthem, taken
from the thirtieth and ninetieth Psalms
was rendered responsively by the Of
ficiating clergyman, the choir singing
alternate verses. After brief but inn
pressive services, the sad procession
wended its way to the cemetery where
the Commitment service of the church
was held iu the conservatory.
THE LAST SAD RITES.

over at three o'clock, and the remains
were taken to Forest Hill Cemetery for

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The House
Committee on Elections o-day re-
solved to report in favor Of the claims
OF William Vandever to the seat in
the House as Representative of the
Sixth California district.
Maish, of the Committee, did not
think that either was elected, and
wanted new election ordered. The
Committee held that the County
Clerks refusal to register the names
submitted to him by the assessor was
illegal, but that the evidence did not
show that sufficient number of those
not registered would have voted for
Mr.. Lynch to have elected him.

AUSTIN, April 21.-District Judge
Towles to-day rendered decision in
the case of the Attorney General VS..

court grants a perpetual injunction
against the Association as prayed by
the Attorney-General. The court

ton at issue and rules the Association
to be in contravention of the con-
stitution holding that the articles
of the association assuming to them
selves exclusive control of the entire

contrary to the state constitution for

citation by its attorneys excepted to
the ruling Of the court and gave no
tice of an appeal to the Supreme
