DID THEY COLLIDE?
Wreckage Passed by Vessels Points
 .. to an Ocean Disaster.



 Haytien Republic and Victoria.
 The Crews of tho Two Vessels
 Numbered seventy Men.
 NEW YORK. June 21.-News is received at this port that several vessels passed through wreckage at Pernambuco, South America, from May If to 16.
 On May 16 bills of lading wore found floating in the sea, which are the basis for grave feass that the steamships Hay ten Republic and Victoria were in col Hsion on those waters, and possibly were seriously damaged, if not both actually lost.
 The steamer Haytien Republic, Captain Brown, sailed from New York on April 22, bound for San Francisco. On May 13 she was sighted off Pernambuco. She Is of 7S0 tons register.
 She obtained q wide celebrity several months ago by being seized by Legitime's s gunboats in Hayti. She was afterward released under pressure from this gov ernment.
 The steamer Victoria, Captain Harri- son, sailed from Montevideo on April 30, and touched at Pernambuco May 10. She is 1,424 tons register and owned by J. w. Taylor, of Sunderland, England.
 As she was bound for Baltimore it IS likely that she crossed the course of the Hay ten Republic on the night of May 18th.
 The appearance of the wreckage and the picking up of the bills of lading of one of the steamers is thought to indi- cate that the two steamers were in col Nsion,
 The Victoria was an iron vessel, 29O feet in length, 40 feet wide and 20 feet depth of hold and her engines were of 200 horse power. She was known as @ tramp steamer and had crew of forty men.
 The Haytien Republic was recently Hpld by MT. Morse, her former owner, to New York parties, and the agents of the vessel in this city are Messrs. Punch, Edye X Co. She required crew of 8 wooden vessel, had compound engines and was considered quite fast
 The rumors of the loss of these steamers at present are somewhat vague, but much anxiety is expressed for their fate.
 NANTUCKET, Mass, June 21.-Papers and wreokage in considerable quantities have just been picked up on the ocean side of Smiths Point, Nantucket Island. The papers include bills of lading which have apparently not been long in the water, as those In the center of the pack ages were hardly dampened.
 The fact that bills of lading of two steamers are found lead to the theory of Q collision between the steamer Haytien Republic and the steamship Victoria of the Anchor line, nearly the entire lot of the latter's bills being dated Plume, Oct. 20, 1885,"
 Pieces of doors and door castings and 8 small hardwood writing desk are among the wreckage found.
 It is the opinion here that an ocean disaster has occurred.

COME TO gHn BOTTOM.
CoptalAs and CT svvs or Two Baltimors
 Vessels Given up for Loss

BALTIMORE, June 21.-All hope has been abandoned for the safety of the masters and crews of the Baltimore schooner Brooxxe Bell Rookes and the Providence brig Rachel Coney. The Rookes sailed from Fernandina, Fla, for Baltimore April ?, with lumber.
 It is supposed she was run down by some large vessel during the gale of April 2, while others think she and the brig Rachel Coney were in collision, and the latter must have been of the coast on her way from Trinidad to Washington.
 The captain of the Brooxxe Bell Rookes was w. K. Tall of Baltimore. with Sam uel w. Wilson, cook and steward, and seamen c. Andersen of Sweden, A. Elia- son and Andrew Olsen of Norway. and Charles Rosenthal of Germany.

D00DLERS ALARMED.
An Error Makes the EXtradItion Bill
 Retroactive.
ONE WORD OMITTED.
Ana the Dominion will Put the Meas ure Into immediate Effect When Notified by the Imperial Govern. ment-Its Opponents Chagrinod.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 21.- Speaking of the Weldon exttadition bill, passed last session, the minister of justice informed a reporter yesterday that the Dominion government had requested the British government to immediately assent to or disallow the bill the government here having decided within the past few days to put 1t immediately into effect if noti- fled by the imperial government.
 The minister states that it was discov- cred after 1t had passed parliament and received the governor-gencral's sigma ture that the omission of ono word had made the bill retroactive, and that the moment it Is put in force Enc, Axworthy Bartholomew and fifty others will come within its scope and be liable to eXtradi- tion if asked for. The retroactive clause, it will be remembered, was the main ob- jection to the bill. That clause reads:
 "The provisions of this act shall apply to any crime mentioned in the said sched- ule whether such crime was committed before or after the coming into force of this act, etc."
 That 1t should not be retroactive it was amended to read thus:
 "Shally apply to any crime mentioned in the said schedule committed after the coming into force of this act"
 The omission of the word "o1ily" to make the act read shall only apply" places the bill on the same footing as all extradition treaties and makes it retroac- tive. Those who opposed the retroactive clause are greatly chagrined to find they have been sold on a legal technicality
 Naturally this disclosure has caused excitement and uneasiness among the colony of the refugees from the United States justice who have found m asy- lum on this side of the line.

BURKE IS IDENTIFIED.
He Is the Man Who Rented the Carl
 son Cottage
Press Has Published the Name oi Floor to Hide the Blood Statns

CHICAGO, June 21.-Martin Burke has been identified as ono of the murdererS of Dr. Cronin.
 Chief Hubbard has received dispatch from Officer Collins, who went to Winni peg.
 The officer says he has seen Burke and Is sure he is Frank Williams, one of the men who hired the Carlson cottage in which the doctor was murdered.
 There is a leak somewhere through which ooHes inside information about the Cronin murder suspects that the police would like to stop up.
 Chief Hubbard, Cap. Schuettler and Detective Palmer were three of the maddest mon in Chicago when they learned that Patrick Cooney's name had appeared in the newspapers. The trio were in such frame of mind that they could scarcely be induced to talk about the affair at all.
 Oooney Is much wanted man in con- nection with the horrible butchery of Dr. Cronin. He Is u member of the same Clap-na-Gael camp that Martin Burke was so active in and the police have every reason to believe that the man is ono of the principals in the murder.
 He Is known to have been an intimate friend of the prisoner at Winnipeg and wae the strongest kind of a radical.
 But Schuettler and his men have been looking for him ever since they learned of Burke's connection with the case, and they have observed the closest kind of secrecy about tho matter, so much so that they did not oven take States At torpey Longenecker into their confidence.
 "An want to find out now" said Cap tqin Schuettler, "is who gave that away. H he is policeman his head will go of Utehty quick. It Is too bad. had been rx~H h, Nl ,J now Cooney knows that we want him and he will hide. knew he had skipped and had pretty good idea of the loca- Eon, but now his friends all know that we want him, and of course he won't show himself"
 CQoney left Chicago about the same time. that Burke did. and he was yer, lavish with. his money before he went away. Before the murder, it was learned, having been out of work for some timo. RCoQney Is the man who did the floor painting at the Carlson cottage, it is claimed. At least there are peculiaritieS In the tracks made in the fresh paint by man ip his stocking feet that tally eX- aotly with like peculiarities shown on the measure book of the shoemaker who made Cooney's foot wear.
 This Is only one of number of things the police Claim to have against Cooney which go to make up very strong chain of circumstantial evidence.
 No additional indictments were re- turned today. Tho grand jury are dili- gently following Alexander Sullivan E Hnanoial transactions, and have been examining the books of the Chicago Ma ttonal bank It was to the Chicago Ma tional bank that Alexander Sullivan transferred his bushes after leaving the Traders bank in 1882, and the books were brought into the grand jury room on a 'subpoena duces tecum' in order to learn how Sullivan used the S15, ,0O0 whic | be had drawn from J. T. Lester X Co., up to February 2S, 1883.

A rapid view of the English pictures is, ! confess, disappointing More minute inspection may have better influence, but the general value Is not equal to the re- velatlon of 1878. Those who have man. aged the matter tell me that at the last moment rivalry brought many changes and did havoc with previous good intent. In considering the French exhibition 1t must not be forgotten, either, that al- most all the artistic effort of the present year Is at the salon, that tho water color ists and paStellists have both separate and private pavillions on the exhibition grounds. In addition to all this, many of the decorative painters have signed parts and portions of the building itself. Besides this, too, several well-known art ists, like Stevens and Gervex, have given their best energy and leisure to pano- rama. Their History of a Century" will please or displease, according to ones inclination, but it represents work and signature.
 People are not rushing from the coun- try round so far. It is scarcely to be wondered at, at so early a date. From any point in the Fontalnebleau forest the red lights look from them like q magnif1- cent golden sunset. From the Chailly camp the soldiers saw all the tower fun, and great was the enthusiasm.
 Here in England we have had two no- table deaths of late. One Is that of the third earl of Malmesbury, the Right Hon. James Howard Harris, who was score tary of state for foreign affairs In the late Lord Derby's ministry of 1859. and held the same office in the second Derby ministry, from February, 1858, to June 1859. His grandfather, the first Lord Malmesbury, was an ambas- sador in Spain, Russia, and Holland, in the reign of George III, and the second carl was under-secretary at tho foreign office. The Hate earl also held the office Of Lord Privey Seal in Mir. Disraeii's s government from 1874 to 1875, and was, for time. leader of he Conservative party in the House of Lords. He was editor of the diary, memoirs, and corres- pondence of his grandfather, and author of on autobiography, "Memoirs of an Ex-Minister," containing many interest ing anecdotes of his own personal and political experience.

American ladies who are presented at court are naturally anxious to acquit themselves with credit, and take what are called representation lessons from exports who attend to this important branch of 'high-toned etiquette"
 Her majesty, so the story goes, Is keenly particular that debutants should not dis play careless or negligent carriage. An American lady who was somewhat ner- vous about her debut took 6 lesson, and her 'coach" told her she must be careful not to seize the queens hand. "YOu must sweep your hand round so"-and she made a curve in the air-"and be careful your nose doesn't touch the queens hand. Any time can be given to the courtesy to the queen. Then you must courtesy to each member of the royal family. The princess of Wales may be next the queen. Make a deep courtesy to her and 8 shorter one to each of the others, accord ing to their distance from her majesty. The regulation number of courtesies Is six.
 Having finished saluting each member of the royal family, you back out quickly still with gliding motion, to allow the other ladies to advance. This back ing out Is succession of courtesies, with first the right foot and then the eft foot forward. You kick your skirts away as you proceed"
 This lady coach sees all her pupils tp their full dress when she gives Finishing directions. She keeps trains four yards long for practice. Lessons are reduired also for state balls.
 A formality to be remembered at the drawing-room is the mode of conveying the ticket. This must be carried in the left hand, with the righthand glove be- tween the fourth and little finger. Ladies are permitted to carry handkerch1efs. The ticket is given up as the lord cham berlain makes the announcement of the name, and then the lady advances to the queen.
 This professor of department stated that American ladies were quick to learn the mode of proceeding, and were not so nervous as young English maidens who have spent most of their time in the country. The girls from the New World" have more chic and confidence. They look her majesty well in the face without tlinching.
