A NARROW ESCAPE.

Loss of the Queen of the PaciHe-The Cool
ness of the Officers and Discipline of the
Crew Results in the Saving of All Hands
The Vessel Valued at S5OO,O 900.
SAN Francisco, May 1.-The Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's steamer
Queen Of the Pacific, which left San Fran
cisco Sunday afternoon for Southern
coast ports, arrived at Port Hartford at
half past six O'Clock with her hold full of
water. The vessel sprung leak at
$50 a. m. Powerful pumps were put
to work, but the water gained rapidly,
and the vessel sunk in twenty feet Of
water. When the leak was discovered
the steamer was about fifteen miles from
port. The officers and crew prevented a
panic among the 125 passengers aboard,
although excitement ran high. Captain
Alexander kept the engineers and firemen
at their posts when they were up to their
breasts in water. Upon nearing Port
Hartford, the passengers were lowered into
the life boats and taken ashore. The
escape is considered as wonderful. Cap
tain Alexander states that he was called
at a:45 a. M, and found water pouring into
the vessel, and Immediately gave orders
to the officers and crew to shift freight
and make port with all speed. The water
poured in faster than the freight could be
shifted. The vessel was valued at $780,
900.

A GENUINE SURPRISE.
Melville W. Fuller, q Shining Light OF the
Chicago Bar, Nominated as Chief-Jus-
fice of the United States Supreme Court
A Clear Case of the Office Seeking the

tlce OF the United States Supreme Court
"A Clear Case of the Offce Seeking the
Man.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The President
just sent to the Senate the nomination of
Melville W. Fuller, of Illinois, to be
Chief Justice of the United States; Su-
preme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-When the nomi-
nation of Melville w. Fuller, as Chief
Justice of the United States, reached the
Senate, by asingular coincidence, Minister
Phelps and Senator Gray were sitting to-
gether on one of the sofas. The nomina-
ton was Immediately made the subject of
general whispered conversation, and as
far as could be ascertained the comment
was entirely favorable to the election
from every standpoint, Mr.. Fuller's
qualifications and fitness being recognized
on the Republican side of the chamber,
while the political wisdom of the appoint
ment is conceded by the Democrats who
opposed the selection of Mr.. Phelps.
Melville w. Fuller is a native of the
State of Maine. He is in his ffty-ffth
year; graduate of Bowdoin college; has
never filled nor sought an Office, is a
recognized leader of the Chicago bar, and
has held high place in the councils of
the Democratic party. Early in the ad
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland he was
rendered the Solicitor -Generalship, and
subsequently positions on the Civil
Service Commission, Inter State Com
merce Commission and Pacific
Railroad Commission, all of which
he declined. He has been held in
the highest regard by the President and
hr- H.
Democrats. In personal appearance Mr..
Fuller is unusually handsome, his hair and
moustache are silvery and his
features clear cut and intelligent.
In stature he is short and
slight, compared with his future associ-
ates on the Supreme Bench. Mr.. Fuller
is man of high scholarly, as well as
legal attainments, and as an orator his
talents have won him the title Of
the Chauncey NJ. Depew of the
West. In politics he is best
described as an old-school Democrat. He
was loyal in feeling during the war, is a
believer in an advanced doctrine of State s
rights and an advocate of simple govern
ment. He is a member of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and has been promi-
nently identified with that organization
and conspicuous in the Cheney and other
famous ecclesiastical trials. He is we'll
known in Washington as practitioner
before the Supreme Court.
The nomination of Mr.. Fuller seems to
give general satisfaction to Democrats,
while no unfriendlY criticisms are heard
from Republicans.
Senator Spooner speakes in the highest
terms of Mr.. Fuller, and says he is man
of profound learning and eminent re-
spectability. No opposition from Repub
hcan Senators to his confirmation is ap-
pretended.
Judge Cooley, chairman Of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission, wired his
heartfelt congratulations to Mr.. Fuller.
He says the appointment is in every way
fit one, and that Mr.. Fuller will make a
perfect Chief Justice.
