BRITISH POLITICS.
Apathy Of the Tories Explained Ele-
vation to the Peerage

Apathy Of the Tories Explained-smith's Ele-
vation to the Peersge.
LONDON, July 5.-The apathy displayed
by the Tories in Parliament is explained by
the leaders of the party as due to the fact
that nearly one-third of them have no in
tention Of seeking reelection, aud are,
therefore, Indifferent to the needs of the
party or the wishes of their constituents.
This is particularly true of many of the
younger members who, now that the nov
city of their position has worn off, have be-
come restive under the party lash and find
1t irksome to apply themselves to the routine
Of politics.
The retirement of William Smith from
the Government leadership in the Commons
and his elevation TO the peerage are no
longer matters Of speculation and conject-
ure. The announced change will be made
within very short time. Smith assuming
the title Of Lord Walton. The question as TO
his successor is still debatable. If Salisbury
can have his own way in the matter, Bal
four will be assigned the position, but there
are others " hose wishes must be consulted in
the interest of harmony on the Government
benches.
Michael Davitfs new paper, the Weekly
Labor World, will shortly make its appear
ance. 1t is announced the first number will
contain extracts from the diary OF PigOtt,
which were suppressed during the trial be-
fore the Parnell Commission, and fresh and
startling revelations touching the methods
of the Times in its pursuit of evidence
against the Irish party.

ASTORIA O.. L., July 5.-The coasting
steamer Eleanora. while bound eastward
through He'll Gate this evening. collided
with the Walter Sands. one of two barges
lashed together, upon which was between
1000 and 1000 men, women and children in
tow of the tug-bOat Idlewild. 1t was a.
most a miracle that terrible disaster and
great loss of life did not follow. Forum
ately, however, no one was killed, though
several were injured. Eight of those whose
injuries were most serious were taken to
hospital.
Captain ConnortOn of the barge Walter
Sands says that while passing through He'll
Gate, the Eleanora was seen steamlng to
the East The tug siguaied her, by whist
ling twice, to keep on the port side. and the
steamer apparently obeyed the signal until
about opposite the barges. Her bow then
suddenly turned, and in a moment crashed
against the side of the barge amidships,
throwing the latter on its beam-ends,
though it was lashed to the other barge.
In a second the rear half Of the guard-rail
and bulwarks Of the upper deck was cut
clean away. Along the rail, where benches
were running around the upper deck, were
seated many men, women and children,
upon whom the broken supports and splin-
ters of timbers fell. About twenty persons
in ali were injured by these flying pieces.
Had the steamer struck the barge more
squarely there is no telling what the result
would have been.
AT the time of the collision the larger
portion of the eXcursiOniSts were dancing.
and the moment the crash was heard IA
scene of most intense excitement began.
Men ran hither and thither searching for
their wives, children and sweethearts. and
shouting for life-preservers, while women
screamed and tainted, and children joined
in with chorus of cries. The officers of
the barge soon succeeded, however. in re-
storing order.

The French Senate Votes in Favor cf Taxing
American Corn.
PARIS, July 5.-The Senate has shown its
hand plainly in regard TO American ques-
tions. After long debate to-day 1t voted
in favor Of a duty of three francs on corn and
six francs on cornmeal. 1t was distinctly
avowed duty on corn. and was to be consider
ed only continuation Of the policy toward
American pork. Comte de Cartel declared
that the importation of American pork was
only another mode of importing American
corn, and French farmers could not main
tain themselves against it. The prohibi-
tion of pork was right and ought to be
maintained, and the duty on corn should
also be made pr0hibitive. Millaus called
attention to the fact that American pork is
prohibited on the ground of its alleged un-
healthfulness. He declared that to be
merely pretext. An article published in
LIE Temps is thought to reflect the views of
the Government. 1t suggests that it might
be desirable to withdraw the prohibition
against pork.

CHICAGO, July g. The Coroner this
morning began an Inquest into the death of
Billy Brennan, who was killed in the spar
ring match with Frank Garrard Thursday
night. County Physician Hektoen made
statement that by post-mOrtem examina-

hemorrhage of the lungs. The latter cause
of death came as surprise. 1t appears
that Brennan was pounded so terribly on
the chest that his lungs commenced bleed

bO tn sparrers seemed so grOggy.
A number OF reporters and other experts
who were present testified that the fight
was not vicious one; that they had wit
messed many harder ones without harm
coming to the principals.
The jury returned a verdict that Brennan
met his death by an accidental fall Gar
raid and the other prisoners will be re-
leased.
