DIVIDED AGAINST THEMSELVES.

Brotherhood Ranks.

CHICAGO, December 1O.-A final at
tempt will be made in few days by a
Committee of the engineers who went on
a strike on the Burlington road last
February, to get the men back to work
on the old terms or better. The result
of the conference is bound to be impor-
tant, for if the men cannot get back, the
Committee has the power to renew the
efforts made last spring and declare a
general boycott on go" freight.
If this boycott is declared it is
said the switchmen will seek to
defeat the engineers and charge them
with treachery in having induced them
to strike last Spring and then leaving
them in the lureh. There are still 400
idle switchmen, and they have held sev-
eral meetings, at the last of which they
appointed committee to wait on the Bur-
lington officials and ask for restoration
to their old places. A reply is expected
from Superintendent Besler. A genel al
Grievance Committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers is
now in Chicago, with the single
exception of Chairman Kavener, who is
en- route from San Francisco. The feel
ing is stated to be very bitter between
the engineers and firemen here, and this
has extended to other roads terminating
in Chicago. This condition of affairs is
said to be welding powerful influence
against the proposed scheme of the gen.
eral federation of railroad employees
which has been under discussion for
some time.

THE SOLID SOUTH.
The Blackmam ls wherein Lies AeS
Political Strength.

Political StreMRth'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. December 10.-Ine
american tomorrow will print long IN
terview with Thomas II. Watts, who was
Attorney General of the late Con1eder'
acy, on the question of disfranchising the
Negro. He said in part: The increased
political power which the South has ac-
quired by the freedom OF the Negroes
ought never to be relinquished. There
is no policy of the South which demands
it or makes it desirable. 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 conqueror in the war unwittingly
increased the power of the conquered
in Congress and in the election of Presi-
dental electors. That the conqueror
should augment the political power OF
the conquered was never before done In
the history of mankind. 1t was not mag
to the conquered, but the vain
hope and belief that the slave when
made free would greatly increase the
power of the Republican power in Con
gress and the election of the President
for all time, which induced fuch re-
action. If the Northern States
could now mend their work of folly, OF
which the experience of the last twenty
years so fully shove, they would doubt
ess act promptly and vigorously. For
;unately for the Southern States, the
Constitution of the United States pre-
'ents an insuperable barrier to the exer-
Use of such powers.

Wreck of the New Steamer
Yaquina Bay.
COINCIDENTS OF THE AFFAIR.
She Goes Aground in Water of Same
Name-The Damages
Slight.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
| SAN Francisco, December 10.-The
newly-purchased steamer Yaquina Bay.
OF the Oregon Development Company's
line, was wrecked late last night while
entering Yaquina Bay. There we're three
passengers on board, but no lives were
lost. The vessel met with severe storm
while going up the coast, and when she
arrived off Yaquina Bay attempted
to enter to escape the fury of the gale.
She crossed the bar safely, but ran
aground after getting into the stiller
water near the new jetty. A large hole
filed, at least partly, with water. 1t is
a question whether or not the vessel is a
total loss. The loss on the cargo will
be not more than $4,000, while that on
the vessel will be about $3.50, 900; fully
insured.
On October 9th last the vessel left Bal.
timore under command of Captain
Lord, with cargo of coal for this port,
and arrived here December 1st after a
passage of fifty. three days. Three days
later she made her first trip to Yaquina
bay under command of the same cap
tain and with the same crew that brought
her to this port. The wrecked steamship
was purchased in New York for 5000, 900
to replace the Yaquina City. She was for
merly known as the Caracas, under
which name she piled between New
York and the West Indies. She was
built by Cramp & Sons at Philadelphia
in 1881, and was Of 1900 tons register,
257 feet long, "a feet beam and 81 feet
in depth. Many alterations and i'm
provements were made on her before
she sailed for this port and she was con-
sidered one of the best vessels in the
coast service.
About year and a half ago this COM
pany decided to extend its trade, and
purchased the steamers Eastern Oregon
and Willamette Valley The Eastern
Oregon, formerly the City of Palatka,
did not come up to the expectations, and
litigation arose, in consequence of which
she has ever since been laid up in Oak
land creek. On December 5, 1887, the
Yaquina City was wrecked on South
Spit, at the entrance to the harbor. The
company intends to purchase another
iron steamer in the East before long.
PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT SAFE.
PORTLAND, Ore, December 10.-A
special from Yaquina Bay regarding the
steamer Yaquina City say the passengers
and freight were all safely transferred to
the Government jetty.
THE DAMAGE WILL BE SMALL.
SALEM, Ore, December 10.-A dispatch
from Yaquina Bay this evening states
that the steamer Yaquina Bay which
grounded last evening while entering the
harbor, is now lying in such a position as
will be we'll protected, and the prospects
are favorable for getting her off with but
little damage. There is no loss of life,
and it is thought the cargo will be saved
without damage.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
The COrOner's jury Holds Police
man Tb bOmpsOn Guilty.

SAN Francisco, December 10.-The in
quest in the case of @. G. Rosenbrock,
killed on Martin street Wednesday eve,
was given to the jury this afternoon. A
large number of persons who witnessed
the tragedy were examined, but only
one would identity ex-Policeman
Thompson, who is in custody
with ex-Policeman Pugh, charged
with the murder, as the man who fred
the shot. Charles Harris, hackman,
positively identified Thompson as the
man who fred at Rosenbrock. He
was sitting on his hack and saw
the affair from the first. Rosen-
brock knocked Thompson down after
dragging him away from the woman
he was beating. Thompson then sprang
to his feet and fired at the deceased, fol-
lowing him up the street. The jury
after an hours deliberation, charged
Thompson with the murder.
They charged Pugh with being an
accessory, but as some Of them did not
think they had legal right to do this,
that part of the verdict was crossed off.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December 1O.-Th'
Coroner is endeavoring to get at the bot
tom of the facts in Saturday night
massacre. Excitement still runs yer.
high. People are divided over the actor
of the officers. One very remarkable
feature is that nearly every man killed
was shot in the back, showing that the
crowd turned away when the firing be-
gan. The lake is being dragged in search
of little Ida's body. The Brotherhood oi
Locomotive Engineers, of which Hawes
is a member, telegraphed that they have
engaged detective to work up the case.
They believe Hawes is innocent and that
colored woman, Fannie Bryant, and
Albert Patterson murdered and robbed
Mrs. Halves, then killed the children.
REPORT THAT HAYES CONFESSED.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. December 10
3P. M.--The town is still in great state
of excitement. Many men are on the
streets, but it is thought the trouble is
over.
1t is reported that Hawes has made a
full confession of his crime. in addition
to the injured whose names were given
last night, there are large number of
people who received slight but not dis
abling wounds, and are therefore not
reported at the hospital.
THE GOVERNOR SENT FOR.
Prominent officials in. the city have
telegraphed Governor Seay that they
consider it necessary for him to be here,
and have asked him to come at once.
The Governor will no doubt investigate
the situation personally, and make ar
rangements for the removal Of Hawes
and Sheriff Smith, or for the relief of
the soldiers. Many kilograms concern
ing the situation passed to-day between
Governor Seay and the authorities.
1t is not probable that Governor
Seay's order to dismiss the troops will
be given. Coroner Babitt, now acting as
Sheriff, says they are no longer needed.
The funeral of Postmaster Throckmorton
and other victims took place this after
noon with impressive ceremonies.
Sheriff Smith still repeats the statement
that he did not give the word to fire
until shots were fred on the outside,
and that at least dozen shots had been
fred.

A Joke on Rernhardt.

Apropos of the theatre, Nine. Bern
hardt was made the victim of a practical
joke on the night of her last performance
at the Star theatre. She is much addicted
TO the practice known among actors as
''guying, " and philosophic enough to be
not averse to joke upon herself if it is
funny. In the second act of Theodore"
the empress visits the amphitheatre in
which she was once star. In the vaults
where the performers and the wild beasts
are housed she renews old acquaintance,
especially with brutes. The audience sees
the lions cage, with the straw sticking
out between the bars, but the lion himself
is left to the imagination. On this oc-
casion when Bernhardt went up to the
cage to caress the phantom king of beasts
she almost shTieked with laughter. Nest
ling comfortably in She straw was poodle
puppy, which blinked and whimpered at
her as she apostrophized it in. heroic
strain. The affair put Eer in such good
humor that the performance passed off
without n quarrel with any one-a rarity,
indeed, as performances with Nine. Bern
