A LIVELY BATTLE.
sanguinary Conflict Between a Govern
ment Vessel and Oyster Pirates.

oahguinary Conflict Between a Govern
ment Vessel and Oyster Pirates.
BALTIMORE, December l1th.-During the
nght with oyster pirates this afternoon. and
when the State steamer Governor McLane
ran into and sank the schooner Malonev
the cook was crushed to death in the cabin
and the mate shot and killed while irving
to board the steamer. Three others OF the
crew are missing, and several members of
the crew of the sunken schooner Julia A.
Jones are also missing and supposed to be
drowned.
AN ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE
The State vessels were holly attacked bv
the dredgers, who were heavily armed
with repeating rifles, and did not return the
hre until compelled to.
The steamer McLane was thoroughly
rlddled with bullets, and Captain Howard
determined to resort to extreme measures.
Backing the steamer off rom the fleet of
seven dredgers, which were tied together,
he singled out the Julia A Jones, and put
upg on full head of steam made directly
ior her stern, striking fairly, and the
schooner sank almost instantly.
Miller escaped by climbing up the
steamers anchor-chain, but says the rest of
the crew were IN the forepeak and could
not have gotten out.
AS soon as the McLane got cleared from
the wreck sac was again backed and again
headed for the fleet, striking the schooner
}. Z. Maloney squarely in the stern. She
at once commenced to sink, and the re-
malnder OF the fleet got away as soon as
possible. Some of the crew of the Maloney
escaped by climbing on board the steamer,
and as soon as one came on board he was
put in the hold.
Another fight may occur before morning.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, December 11th.-In the
Senate to-day Frye's resolution of yester-
day, instructing the Committee on FOREIGN
Relations to inquire into the state of affairs
at the Samoan Islands, was reported back
from the Committee on Contingent Ex-
penses. and agreed TO.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the tariff bill, the pending question be-
ing Harris amendment to reduce the duty

hlzeu py the Chair. The amendment was
agreed TO without division, and the rate

An amendment offered by Vance TO re-
uuce The rate on trace-c chains from 3 cents
10 cents was rejected, but at the suggestion
OF Allison the item was passed over with
out definite action.
An amendment offered by Jones of Ar
kansas to make the rate on ties free of dutv

WASHINGTON, December 11th.-In the

, Allen OF Mississippi favored the same.
Seney OF Ohio favored the bill.
The friends of the cotton-tax amendment
spent the afternoon in the House in making
speeches in favor of it.
Herbert of Alabama and Elliott of

nor OF Ohio and Buckland of Penpsyl-

A NEW IDEA.
SoutherDer Who Thinks the North Has
Stood In Her Own Light.

NASHVILLE December 11th.-The Ameri.
can to-day prints a long interview with
Thomas H. Watts, who was Attorney
General of the late Confederacy. on the
question of disfranchising the negro. He
said IN part that the increased political
power which the South had acquired by
the freedom Of the negroes ought never to
be relinquished. There is no policy of the
South which demands it, or makes it de-
sirable. If intelligence is superior to
Ignorance, or brain power superior to mere
muscle in the policy of State, the South
has nothing to fear from the presence
OF the negro, with equal rights to vote.
The Northern States, being the conquerors
IN the war, unwittiDgly increased the politi-
cal power of the conquered in Congress
and in the election of Presidential Electors.
That the conquerors should augment the
political power OF the conquered was never
before done in the history of mankind. 1t
was not magnanimity to the conquered,
but the vain hope and belief that the slave
when made free. would greatly increase
the power of the Republican party in Con-
gress and in the election of President for
all time, which induced such remarkable
action. If the Northern States could now
mend their work. the folly of which the
experience of the last twenty years so fully
shows, they would doubtless act promptly
and vigorously. Fortunately for the South
ern States the Constitution presen IS an in
separable barrier to the exercise of such
power"

The Cause of the Terrible Explosion al
Chicago Yestardax

EXDIOsinn saf
Chicago Yesterday.
CHICAGO, December 1Ith.-The explosion
that occurred shortly before o'clock this
morning took place in divers oat- meal
mills, three story brick building on Hal
stead street, near Fulton. The mill was
surrounded by number of frame build.
Ings, and the roof Of the mill was raised
into the air and fell upon several of the
buildings, crushing them.
No lives are known TO have been lost
however, outside of the night force EN-
ployed in the mill. OF these, Charles
Miller, the engineer, John Smith and Ern-
est casper, mlllers, gre known to be in the
ruins. John Holmes, another miller, was
blown out OF the second story into the
street and picked up fatally injured.
The fire which ensued lasted an hour.
The greatest damage next to the building
Itself, Will be IN the destruction of window
glass in the vicinity. The entire front of
buildings for block on either side of the
mill are cracked and the windows broken.
Rough estimates place the loss at $lOO, 900.
BODIES RECOVERED.
John Christensen, kiln man, is one of
the known victims. His body has not
been found
A bcdy supposed 10 be that of engineer
Miller was unearthed at IL O'Clock. badly
burned and mangled. 1t had been thrown
a considerable distance
The boilers were unearthed and found
intact, so the explosion was certainly caused
by. mill dust. The police say that no dyna-
mite was used.
The dead body of Ernest Casper has been
dug out of the ruins.
POSSIBLY THE WORK OF TRUSTS.
CHICAGO, December 11th.-The demoli
ton of the Oliver oatmeal mill last night.
Immediately following the attempt to de-
stroy the Schufeldt distlllery, has given
rise to the theory that the Whisky Trust
has combined with the Oatmeal and other
trusts to annihilate all who refuse to CO.
operate with them or adopt their methods.
Schufeldt and Oliver have both refused
to become identified with trusts in their
respective business. The destruction of
the oatmeal mill at Kensington a short
time ago is quoted as evidence of this de-
sign.
Oliver bad recently completed contract
to do certain work for Schufeldt at figures
below those fixed by the Trust, and the
theory Is that for thus helping the only dis
tillery in the State outside of the Trust the
combination determined to have revenge.

LIKE A DUTCH UNCLE,
Chairman Cooley Talks Plainly to Rail-
roads Employing ScaIpers.

CHICAGO, December 11tb.-Judge Cooley
laid down the law to the Managers and
General Passenger Agents of the various
railroads to-day. About 200 officials were
assembled in the committee-room of the
Central Traffic Association to hear what
the Chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission had to say. The Judge un-
mercifully scored those roads that have
been guilty of discrimination in passenger
rates by dealing secretly with scalpers. He
mentioned no names, but he gave them to
understand that he knew which were the
gully ones. and that he had sufficient evil
dence in his possession 10 convict them of
fiagrsnt violations of the law. He told
them the pernicious practice would have
to be stopped at once, or the offenders
would be prosecuted.
Mr.. Cooley talked for nearly an hour,
and at the close of his speech Colonel
Morrison made few remarks on the same
subject.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the meeting the General Passenger Agents
convened, and talked over the situation.
