diers, and defended the protective tariff.
Senator Young was chosen permanent

tions were at once proceeded with. Frank
p, jackson for secretary OF state, and j..

BIaine.s Tour.

AUGUSTA, Me, Aug. 2s.-Mr. Blaine
will start on a trans-continental stump
ing tour one week after the Maine cleo
ton IN October. He has no detailed
plans for the. campaign. and he will
make none. He will place himself un-
reseryedly In the hands of the national
committee, to use as they think best. II
he goes as far west as California it will
be during the last week of the canvass,
80 that the time spent in returning will
not be taken out of the campaign. His
speeches, with perhaps one exception,
will be short. He does not feel able to
undergo the severe strain of a long series
OF two-hour stump speeches. In the
campaign OF four years ago, owing to the
great number of outdoor speeches which
he delivered, he overtaxed his voice
somewhat which, he says, requires him
to be careful Of it now. Mr.. Blaine will
speak once more in the evening at Lew
iston This week and will then go to Po-
lano to spend Sunday.

The Guberhatoriai Candidates to Open the
Campaign Sept. 1.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 23.-Congressmen
Hoyey and Matson, the Republican and
Democraof- s-c..inees for governor, have
instructed their state committees to open
the campaign Sept. 1, regardless of
whether congress is in session. The
opening OF the campaign means that both
the representatives will at once quit
Washington to enter upon vigorous
of the state. Matson will be
annoyed a great deal by the absence of
Cleveland's letter. Senator Mcdonald
and other distinguished Democrats have
had their appointments Cancelled by the
state committee because 1t was desired
that Cleveland should define the national
Issues. The idleness thus forced upon
the party has been d~emoralizing to both
the leaders and the rank and file.

Ocean Steamers Collide
THE CHESTER SPLIT AND SUNK BY
THE OCEANIC.
THIRTEEN lives ARE LOST
Emerging from a Fog the Craft Meet
and a Misinterpreted Order Is Fol-
lowed by the Direst Results
The List of Killed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-The City of
Chester started at 10 a. IN. for Eureka.
There was a fog and Capt. Wallace blew
his whistle continuously. When off Port
Point he heard another whistle and sig
nailed for the unknown vessel to go to
port, but this was evidently misurder-
stood, for in a moment the Oceanic
doomed up out Of the fog, and her bow
crashed into the Chester's side amid
snip, cutting her nearly in two. Some
of the Chester's passengers climbed on
the Oceanic's bow before the vessels
parted, but many were obliged
to jump into the water. The boats of
the Oceanic were at once lowered, and
picked up as many as possible and some
tugs also came to the rescue. The Ches-
ter sank within five minutes and many
went down with her and were drowned.
A terrible panic reigned on board during
this brief period. The greatest loss of
life is believed to have occurred among
the steerage passengers, of whom there
were twenty-three on board. Only two
of these were accounted for. The others
are regarded as lost. There were seventy
cabin passengers, Of whom ten are lost.
Three of the crew were also lost. The
names of the cabin passengers lost are:
G.. w. Anderson, Oakland.
Mrs. s. E. Prater, San Diego.
Mrs. c. II. Haney, Eureka.
J.. A. Hampton and wife, Virginia.
G. T. Davis and niece, j.. Green, Napa.
Cal.
Mrs. Mech and Mrs. Porter.
The following members of the crew
were lost: @. r. Chambers, steward; R.
Fulton, Adam Richmond.
None of the survivors were landed
until after l p. M, and at a late hour the
exact number Of casualties was still un-
certain.
Capt. Wallace states that he judged
that the Oceanic wal on the port side
and took steps accordingly. He does not
see how the collision could have been
avoided. Capt. Metcalfe, of the Oceanic,
says he saw the Chester on the starboar6
side and gave two blasts, which was re-
sponded to, but the Chester ported in
stead of starboarding, and the collision
occurred. The Chester was going at q
high rate of speed and the Oceanic
slowly. The Chester was valued at
$780, 00.
Later-From the best information late
tonight, it Is believed that only thir-
teen persons named above were lost.

Talk of a Hin-Hewitt COMPUTATION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-one of the chief
topics of conversation among Democrats
at the local and state committee rooms
was the apparent friendliness between
GOV. Hill and Mayor Hewitt. 1t was

should serve the other in this county.
Shrewd politicians notice that there
seams to be a perfect understanding be-
tween the governor, the mayor, and De-
lancey Nicoll, and they likewise observe
that Tammany is the avOwed friend OF
Nicoll and Hill. The presumption is

EXCITEMENT AT A CAMP MEETING
a Big Blacksnake Causes a Panic Among
Colored Brethren.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-While the col
ored brethren and sisters were worship
ing in their gospel tent at Asbury park
a fat woman startled all hands with a
wild Shrek. She jumped up on her seat
and pointed Historically to the straw
which strewed the aisle, up which a big
blacksnake was quietly working his way
toward the altar. The widest excite
ment ensued. Women shrieked and fle33,
while the men stood irresolute until a
big elder shouted: 'Bru1se dat ar sar-
pent's head.r Immediately half a dozen
big shoes went down on the snake, but he
was not there. He had quietly disap-
peared, and the frightened people after q
time were brought back to their worship
amid the singing of Oar de Ole Sarpent
Was u Crawlin.n The services were re-
sumed with unusual fervor and the
clergymen made some pertinent remarks
on the text, 1.-THE seed of woman shall
bruise the s%erpent's head.n But Il whole
series of feminine screams soon revived
the panic. The blacksnake was again
approaching the altar. Amid shrieks
and yells the general excitement became
intense 1t was only allayed when a
stout ebony pillar of the church put his
foot on the snakes head, while other feet
simultaneously fattened the rest of its
body into a broad tape. The services
were then resumed.

county says: 1t is known that the
White Cap organization In Crawford
county held a meeting near Marietta a
few nights ago, and after q heated dis
cussion resolved to disband the ~organiza-
ton. This action is said to have been
brought about by the fear that Attorney
General Kitchener had become advised of
the inside workings of the organization
through some of the members, who had
been promised Immunity ON condition that
they give up all the facts connected
with he many outrages committed in
that county and also in Orange county
by the hands of the regulators, or White
Caps. The gentleman says that the peo-
pie are thoroughly aroused over the out
RACES, and that the White Caps will be
compelled to hunt their holes if the gov
ernor will show a bold front and aid
them in their work All that is needed
is to assure the people of protection and
there will be plenty of men ready to
testify to facts and the identity of parties
engaged in the work of regulating the
community. 1t is said that there will
be some startling developments in a few

York they expect to hold their
present strength, or to make a
gain Of one. They rather calculate on
losing one and gaining two members in
that state. In Iowa, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, and generally throughout the
other states they expect little, If any
change. Republicans expect q majority
of from 25 to 40. 1t is thought there will
be many surprising changes, growing
mainly out of the tariff. Besides this,
inability Of members to get home and
canvass their districts will probably u
some defeats which are now counted on.
