A TERRIBLE SCENE Ar NIAGARA.
by Narrow Chance 100 People Are
Saved From Death.

AUBURN, NY, July 22-A gentleman who
arrived IN the city on the IL: :S5 Central train
last night gave an account of what might have
been terrible casualty at Niagara Falls yes-
terday. The pleasure steamer Ella H., which
runs from Port Bay TO Buckhorn Island, was
obliged 10 run around Green Island on account

as the steamer was rounding the island in the
swiftesi part of the river at that point the en-

board, but lt failed to catch. for some distance
dragging along on the rock bottom. When il
did finally get hold the boat was
under such hcadway that the bulkhead
TO which the hawser was attached
was torn from lts fastenings. When nearly the
whole of the cham had been played out the
end became knotted ia me hole in the bull
warks and held the boat The trouble with
the engine proved TO Oe a defective valve
which wac soon repaired. and the boat was
again got under headway. but so great was the
force OF the current that II took fifteen min
utes 10 reach the spot where the anchor
caught-100 feet up stream from the boat
There were about one hundred and ifty pas
sengers on the steamer and pleasure barge
attached TO IT. There was a terrible scene Of
confusion. Women tainted, children screamed
ana men bade each other goodbye. The boat
was only a short distance above the falls when
stopped and 1t was a ID iracle which saved the
lives of the one hundred and fifty people on
the boat

The free sugar men in the House say that il
the Senate adopts any amendment to the tariff
bill looking to the restoration Of the duty on
sugar at any time there will be hard fight
over it in conference. They say that the House
will never agree to the Pierce amendment
providing for the restoration of the duty at the
end Of year if the countries benefited by the
repeal do not reciprocate by admitting some Of
our products to their ports free of duty.
This amendment is secretly understood to be
the compromise with Mr.. Blaine which the
finance committee is willing to accept, and it
will. in all probability, be adopted by the
Senate. The free sugar men are fighting with
all their might against it, and the party is
PRETTY BADLY DIVIDED on THE QUESTION.
1t is ont OF the question at this late day to
put the duty directly back on sugar as such a
change in the bill would take away the princi-
pal reduction of revenue in the measure and
make the aggregate a considerable in
crease OF the average duty. But
the Pierce proposition leaves free sugar in the
bill to help carry the schedules through, and
vet permits the restoration of the duty after
ward.
This is regarded as a very skilful move, but
the advocates of free sugar will not hear to it.
The adoption of the plan, they say, will embsr-
rass the situation by causing a fight between
the two houses
IL is not SO certain, however, that their claim
that the House would not agree to the amend
ment is we'll founded. There are some ten or
eleven republicans in the House who want the
duty retained on sugars and who voted under
protest for the bill with free sugar in it.
These men may be relied on to support the
reciprocity amendment if they get chance,
and they would probably have all or nearly all
OF the democrat votes with them.
PLATE GLASS AND COTTON BAGaINd.
1t is understood that the duty on plate glass
and cotton bagging is to be increased by the
Senate. 1t is claimed that certain plate glass
which is nearly finished. but purposeiy left
smoky on one side. is imported at a low duty
as unfinished glass The House bill contained
a provision to correct this alleged fraudulent
practice, but the Senate committee struck the
provision out The glass men are given to
understand that this clause is to be restored
