Awful Fate of Two Sailors on British
Vessel Near Portland Ore.

Awful Fate of Two Sailors on British
Vessel Near Portland, Ore.
PORTLAND, Ore. Dec. 27.-At 1880
o'clock Friday morning the Union
Pacific steamer Oregon ran into and
sunk the British ship Clan Mackenzie
at Coffin Rock, on the Columbia river,
ten miles below Kalama Charles Aus
tin and Matthew Reed, colored sailors,
were instantly killed. They we're
asleep in the forecastle of the Clan Mac
Renzie, and when the bow Of the Oregon
struck her a sharp plate of iron ran
into the hunks in which the sailors we're
lying, cutting the two men in halves.
They were struck at the waist and the
upper part of each body dropped into the
river below and sunk. Charles Fish,
coal-passer of the Oregon, was injured,
but not fatally A sailor on the Clan
Mackenzie was also badly injured, but
will recover.
The Oregon was on her way down the
river en- route to San Francisco with a
full cargo and passengers, and the Clan
Mackenzie was lying at anchor one side
OF the channel. The captain Of the ship
claims his lights were all properly dis
played and the vessel was moored
parallel with the channel at the time Of
the collision.
The Clan Mackenzie is a fine iron
vessel She came from Rio Janeiro in
ballast. 1t is thought the vessel may
be raised. She is valued at $50, 600 and
is said to be fully insured. The loss to
the Oregon for repairs will not fall short
of $4,000 She will probably be taken
TO San Francisco for repairs.
Notwithstanding the Oregon had on
board large number of passengers,
who were suddenly aroused from sound
slumber by the terrific shock, there was
no panic. Both captains and pilots de-
cline to make statements pending official
Investigation.

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.
About an Even 5000 Miles of New Track
Bnill Dnring the Near 1850.

Built During the Year 1889.
NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-This week S
edition Of the Engineering News says:
The list Of new railroads constructed
during 1889. which we present with this
issue, shows that the total addition to
the main track railway mileage of the
United States during the year will vary
very little from an even 5000 miles.
This is the llcstconstruction record
ed in any one year since 1885. when the
total increase was but 3,5ss miles.
The construction in the interven-
ing years has been: In 1885 SAT-
miles; in 1857 t2,G6s: in 1855 1884
miles. The bulk Of this years construc-
ton has been done in the South. Over
1000 miles Of the new lines reported to
us lie south OF the latitude OF Cincin-
natl and cast OF the Mississippi
river. Washington. however. has had
the GREATEST increase in railways of any
single St4to. 333 miles having been
built there in 1852 Georgia comes
next with 9i5 miles. and then
follow North Carolina with 279
miles. Texas with go miles. and
Mississippi With 2I2 miles. Six
teen other States report between 100
and 200 miles, and in Vermont. Rhode
Island. New Mexico, Arizona and Ne
vada no nov track-taying has been re-
ported. In Canada. during 1859, 7S3
miles Of track we're laid, and in Mexico
the construction amounted to 300 miles.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-Before the
ways and means committee ia its hear
tngs on the tariff question Friday Cen
eral Imboden, of Virginia, spoke about
the duty on coal and iron ores. He de-
scribed these great industries lately
developed in Virginia, West Virginia
and Kentucky, and asked that the
duty now imposed thereon be allowed
to remain. In conclusion he begged
the committee not to disturb the duty
on coal, as it provided labor for thou
sands of negroes. These men, he said,
were the very best people in the world
for this class Of labor. and without il
the greater part OF them would have to
be supported by the whites.
He would much rather give them
this labor than give il to
lot of imported Hungarians and then
force the whites to support the negroes
or have than steal This, he said, they
would not do as long as they had work.
He was followed by Judge Bowling, of
Virginia, who spoke en- tho same sub
iect, and strongly advocated helping the
negro and maintaining the tax now inn
posed on coal and ores
