Political Campaign.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 12-Quong Hong Luong Is the new Gai Fong of Chinatown. He was chosen yesterday to fill the place of the late Gen. Lee Yu Doc, who was laid away last week with all celestial honor. According to the constitution of the municipal govern ment which the Chinese of this city have established among themselves, the council, which represents our grand jury and board of aldermen, must always contain q full membership in order to transact business Chinatown was thrown into intense excite ment over the election. As only Chinamen Of good business standing and known veracity were eligible to membership in the council there was great rivalry among the Mon golans.
 While American citizens were battling over thelr election last week the 10000 Chinamen or this city were engaged similarly Mott and Pell streets were filled from early morn till dewy eve with Celestials who peddled ballots and fought wordy wars over their candidates The ballots were deposited during the week. They were dropped through slot Into an iron bound chest, which was securely locked. At noon yesterday the chest was opened Ill the presence of the councillors, and the little bits of brown paper with their hyeroglyphics were counted. After two hours labor 1t was decided that Quong Hong Luong was the victor, and that gentleman was sum moned to the council room.
 He was congratulated by the assemblage and responded with great alacrity in speech that would have done honor to an alder manic candidate for poodle honors After the speech the councillors souatted down on the floor of the chamber after the manner of Turks and jabbered away on weighty muni- cipal matters. Then the long stemmed pipes of peace were smoked

The Ocean Greyhound, Umbria, Runs Down
 French Fruit Steamer n Few Hours
 Out from Her Dock-No Lives Lost.
 NEW YORK, Nov 13-The Cunard steam ship Umbria, which sailed fl lom New \ ork Sor Liverpool at 1030 o'clock Saturday morning, ran iAto and carried away the stern of the Fabre line freight steamer Iberia off Long Beach at 1:10 o'clock ill the after noon. The Umbria's collision bulkhead was partially crushed in above the water line. The Iberia was run ashore, and her crew of thirty men were taken aboard the Umbria. The Umbria, though her injuries are not serious, was brought back to her dock, where she arrived about noon yesterday. Her cap tain, McMickan, gives the following particu- lars of the accident:
 The Umbria had slowed down on account of a thick fog encountered soon after dismiss ing her pilot at Sandy Hook. At :10 D. m whistle was heard apparently from tho starboard bow. The captain, who was on the bridge, ordered the engines stopped en- tirely. Almost immediately after this was done steamer came out of the fog directly across the Umbria's bows headed north, The Umbria'S engines were at once reversed at full speed, but her headway carried her on, and she struck the stranger on the port quar- ter, carrying away portion of her stern The boats were lowered, and the Umbria' $ injuries ascertained as described above
 Meanwhile the steamers drifted apart, and were out of sight of each other about fifteen minutes. When they encountered each other again the first officer of the disabled vessel came aboard. He said the steamer was the Iberia, of the Fabre line, with fruits, etc, from the Persian Gulf, Capt. SangloeS and a crew of thirty men. Her machinery had broken down and she had been laying to, making repairs, for thirty hours, and had just got under way when the accident oc- cured. The Iberia was a steamer of about 1000 tons, belonged in Marseilles, and car ried no passengers, Her officers were French and the crew Arabs, Greeks and of mixed nationalitieS. The Umbria had on board 215 cabin passengers, G intermediate and 429 steerage There was great excitement among them, but the good management of the officers prevented any serious panic. Among those on board were Thomas Barring, the banker: Hon. Boyd Winchester United States min- ter to Switzerland; Mayor John Boyd Thacher, of Albany; the Earl of Norbury, Edward Cooper, MT. and Mrs J. W. Alex ander and host of others equally well known.
 The Umbria stayed by the injured Iberia several hours, but it was finally decided that she would have to be abandoned as she was sinking fast.
 The Umbria's damaged bulkhead will be repaired at once, and she will probably re sume her voyage tomorrow. Her agents say she could have proceeded safely, but that the captain acted with wise precaution in returning.

Costly Prank of Bows.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. l2.-Hay street, an unobtrusive little thoroughfare downtown, woke up Saturday morning to find its door steps dyed with what looked like blood The bolor was deep crimson, shading to pink, and wouldn't wash off Members of the families who had walked in and out in the rainy night had tracked the color inside the houses, end the carpets were spoiled in the houses for two blocks. The matter was reported to the police and an investigation was made It seems that some boys robbed a wagon belong ing to dyeing house of package of dry aniline dye and sprinkled it all along the street It rained during the night and turned the powder into liquid that soaked into the spotless marble steps and is we'll nigh ineffaceable.
