DOUBLY SHIPwRECKED.
I he survivors of the Vandalia,
ETC, In DestiIuIiOn.

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA number
Of seamen Of the shipwrecked vessels in
Samoa are said to be in an almost desti-
tnte condition here. 1t would seem that
all the men who lost their effects there
are entitled To $50 from the Government
to recompense them for their loss.
The seamen on the Vandalia have
suffered most, as the Paymaster, Pay
masters clerk and all the accounts and
books wore lost. In number of cases,
several hundred dollars we're on deposit
with the paymaster, and, of course, these
amounts were destroyed. In order for
each man to secure even his sixty dol
lars he must present form duly signed
by mis- commanding officer that he is en-
titled to the money. 1t is now stated
that the commanding officer of the Van
dalia declares that he will not sign the
blanks until the Government reimburses
him for his personal loss.

IcEMEN's COMPLAINT.
Today has been set aside by the Inter
State Commerce Commission for the
hearing of the case of number of Texan
ice companies versus the Missouri 2 a
cifc, the Texas and Pacific Gulf, tina
Colorado and Santa Fe, and the Fort
Worth and Denver City Railroad Com.
panies. The petitioners are engaged in
the manufacture and sale Of ice in
various cities in Texas, and charge the
respondents with unjustly discrim'
mating against the petitioners in
freight rates from points in Mis-
souri, and Colorado to points in
Texas. They say the rate on ice is all
out Of proportion to the rate on other
classes of freight, and, that if the roads
be permitted to continue to transport ice
from the north at the low rates now pre-
vailing, they cannot continue to manu-
facture ice and sell it in competition with
that delivered. When the case came uI
for hearing today, no counsel appeared
for the complainants, and on the presen'
tations of ] ohm s. Blair, who appeared fol
one of the respondents, that there was nc
merit in the case as it now stood, thai
the respondents could make no through
rates between the points named, anc
that the real parties to the controversy
who would be the proper respondents II
this case, were not made party to the
com plant, the Commission decided to
postpone the hearing for SIXTY days, ane
will give an opportunity to the complain
ants TO make the other roads parties tt
the complaint.

TYPOGRaPaICAL CONVENTION.
Discussion of How Defunct ssPil.
grim Primls,, are to be Buried.

DENVER, COL, June 14.-But little
business of any great importance was
transacted at the Typographical Conven-
ton today. Among the recommends
tions of the Finance Committee was one
to the effect that members of local unions,
dying on the road, while holding certif-
Gates of the International Typographical
Union, shall be buried at the exp ense of
the Union, stirred up brisk fight. Some
members advocated further delay for the
sake of improving upon the provision
for the burial OF deceased travelling
printers. The tramp" printers, at whom
the proposed provision was aimed, found
an eloquent champion and hard lighter
in McPhillips, of Jackson, Michigan.
He contended that vast numbers Of
tramp" printers are lying in unknown
cared for in case of delay. At last mo-
ton that the subject be referred to the
Committee on Laws, with order to report
at the next session OF the union, was
fought successfully through the stages OF
viva'voce and hand votes up to an aye
and nay vote and finally carried
by 55 ayes to Al nays. At this
point the union went into ex-
eCutlVe SESSION.. Inc COmmette6 on
Lsws non-concurred in Phillips resolu-
ton to make any member of subordinate
unions as eligible for office as for dele
gate. Mr.. Kalls offered substitute that
no one except delegate or ex.delegate
shall be eligible as elective officers in the
Union. Adopted by &c ayes to 3S nays.
There is to be an effort to reconsider the
vote by which the Presidents ruling that
there was no vacancy of officers was OBJ
tanned on Wednesday. Then another at
tempt will be made to overturn the work
of the Kansas City convention in electing
officers for two years. If that is success
full several candidates for offices will
spring up, as if by magic. where now not
ona can be found. Only the greatest
esteem for the present officers, and ex-
pressions of disposition to keep them
in office can be heard; but if that once
breaks down, the delegates will have
several nominations to consider. A
session is being held tonight, but up to
late hour nothing important was trans
acted. The Convention will adjourn to-

Sizing Up Hill.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-The Republican,
Democrat will, tomorrow. print an entire
page devoted to the opinions OF
Democratic editors as to the
availability OF Governor Hill, Of
New York, as the Democratic standard
bearer in the presidential contest OF 1892.
The newspapers, to which the query WAC
addressed, circulate in ten States where
Democratic opinion is strongly repre-
sented by them. There is but one
expression in favor of the nomination of
Governor Hill, coming from the Augusta.
Georgia, Chronicle, a Protection paper. OF
the others, all but two, are unqualifedly
opposed to the nomination of Hill. The
two exceptions are the Louisville Courier
Journal and the Atlantic, Ga, Journal.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The philharmonic Society TN ''The
Crentton.,'

The Philharmonic Society TN ''Ehe
Creation.''
Last night very large and select
audience assembled at the Grand, being
attracted by the rendition of Haydn's
Creation by the Philharmonic Society OF
Los Angeles. Miss X. w. kimball,
soprano; Signor Carlo Modini, tenor,
and Prof. F. Bornemsn, basso, assisted
by the Society, taking the arias, trios
and recitatives Of the composition.
Prof. A. Willhartitz welded the baton
with his usual grace ana accuracy.
The rendition of the music by the three
leading voices was very creditable In
deed. Miss kimball has sweet voice
of great power, and she sang with much
feeling. Signor Modini's voice, while moi
powerful, is one OF rare sweetness and
flexibility. He won very hearty encore
in "In Native Worth and Honor Glad. -
Prof. Bornemann's basso is rich and full
and used with good effect. All three
singers were overloaded with the masses
of flowers sent over the footlights by
their admirers. The tributes were vel
earned.
The chorus showed a great deal o.
good training, 1t is no easy matter tc
keep half a hundred voices all together
on every note of such complicated music
as is found in some OF the choruses O.
The Creation. In general, the singer:
last night sang accurately and together
producing good solid body OF sound
The strains Of Haydn's masterpiece are
peculiarly sweet in parts, and grand il
others. The Interpretation given by the
local society was excellent.
Prof. Willhartitz's orchestra did the
work well. The arrangement was ex
cellent, as the chorus occupied the stage
and the orchestra was in its own proper
place, thus avoiding the crowding OF the
stage, which somewhat marred previous
recitals of this society.
The performance, last night, was il
all respects a great improvement on any
thing done by the Philharmonic before
The PEOPLE hail with great satisfaction
their marked improvement.

SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1859.
Reduced Estimates But Undimtn-
ished ResponsibilttY.

As the Eastern newspapers, with de-
tails of the Johnstown horror, reach the
Coast. even more dramatic incidents
than those recorded in the quite COM
plete accounts of the Associated Press
come to hand. Exaggeration is natural
under such circumstances, and yet it
proves to be restricted simply to the
number OF the victims, which now seem
not to have exceeded from three to four
tn ousand. Yet, even with these revised
figures, the story is one that is not often
told in the rehearsal of the worlds
tcalamities. Every circumstance that
could illustrate the agony and uncer-
tainty of human life is embodied in the
details Of this memorable disaster. The
body of evidence seems to establish
gross and indefensible negligence on the
part of the private gentlemen who owned
the Conemaugh Lake. The sacrifice OF
the lives of three or four thousand people,
under the conditions of a high civiliEa-
ton that prevailed in YOUNGSTOWN, is cal
.culated to excite very much more inquiry
and Indignation than would attach to an
inundation which would destroy many
more lives of ryots in an inundation in
India, or in natural convulsion of ma
ture which might sweep hundreds Of
thoufands of people into oblivion. just
to the extent to which this caalmity was
not caused by the Providence of God is
the public reprobation Of the carelessness
which contributed to it. The estimates
of the loss of life are happily reduced
but the responsibility Of those who may
have contributed to hurl thousands into
eternity, is by no whit dimished. 1t is g
great pity that we have no Charles Reade
in the United States to write a series Of
powerful novels, descriptive of the perils
and hardships to which the wage-earn
ing and innocent people OF the
mining and iron-working regions Of the
United States are subjected.

MODERATE drafts of gold continue to go

MODERATE drafts of gold continue to GO
to Europe at the close of each week.
There is no need to fear that this will
greatly disturb the current of trade.
There are thee patent reasons for this
drift of specie. Perhaps the strongest
influence at work in this direction is to
be found in the multitudes Of our people
who are now abroad. A million OF
dollars would not 60 far among
30 many liberal-handed Americans
bent on making the effete mon-
ar chies realize the magnitude Of the
riches of the New World. Another res-
son is that there now exists wild era OF
speculation in London. On the Stock Elk.
change in that modern Babylon, as the
phrase is, everything goes. This will net
last long, any more than will the small
drain being made by Americans abroad.
The average English capitalist
soon learns that the biggest promises
often bring the smallest actual returns.
In general he has found American secur-
tiles the best be can put his money in.
and he will surely return to his first love.
The third reason for the existing draft on
our specie resources comes naturally with
the time Of year. There is smaller
movement of breadstuffs across the At
lantic at this time than at almost any
other period of the year. With the new
crop this will cease, and the current will
flow back again. Still a further
reason may be found in the low price OF
money in New York. There is little or
no demand for capital at home, and cap.
ital very naturally seeks an outlet of
profitable investment. In q few weeks
the big cereal crops of the West will be
to move. and that will create whole
some home demand for money, which
will keep it from going to Europe. 1t
is all but ripple in the tide, and means
nothing.
