THE ACCIDENT TO THE LAKE.
An Investigation Conducted BY the
Steamboat Inspectors.

Local Steamboat Inspectors saville and
Cooper met in the Georgetown custom house
yesterday to investigate the charges against
Capt. j. +. Barker Of the steamer Lady Of the
Lake, on account Of the stranding Of the YES
sci September 6. The charges were preferred
by Mr. Geo. H. Thompson, who was passen-
ger on the steamer at the time. He alleges
tina: the captain was at the wheel and ran the
boat out OF course % az to hit the rock that af-
terward, though aware Of the steamers disa-
bled condition. he took on moro passengers
and freight at Piney Point, and that he
neglected to examine the vessel after
the accident Captain Barker was pres
ent during the Investigation with his coun-
sci, Mr.. E. B. Hay. Mr.. Thompson made a
long statement OF the accident in support OF
his charges. He was on the wharf at Point
Lookout waiting for the steamer when she
struck the rock. The captain mentioned the
fact that he had struck when he came on the
wharf The captain. he said, was perfectly
sober and quite cool. Witness knew OF no
danger until the steamer was beached at
Nomipi and the life boats were let down. One
Of these boats had water in it and he thought
1t leaked. These facts we're substantiated by
Jos. 8. Sterling, Jos. Harris, Walter Gideon aud
Gideon Rex, none OF whom however. had no.
statement was not essentially different from
that OF Mr.. Thompson. He acknowledged
striking the rock, of the presence Of which, he
said, he has long been aware. The water that
night. however, was very low, being at extreme
low tide. As soon as he felt the vessel strike
he ordered an inspection Of the bottom, but
could find no leak, and when he left the Point
Lookout wharf was satisfied that the steamer
was safe. The leak was discovered at Piney
Point, where more freight and passengers were
taken on. When the water began to come in
the loading Of freight was stopped. and on the
advice Of tho chief engineer witness ordered
the steamer cast of. After running about ten
miles the water was discovered to be gaining,
although the leak could not be exactly located.
He testified that the life boats were in proper
condition, the first one leaking less than pint
of water.
The captains story was corroborated by the
testimony of First Officer J. A. Posey and Chief
Engineer Tennyson, and there the investiga-
ton closed.

The answer is obvious, yet protec-
tionists assure the farmer it would
be better for the country if he would
exchange his bushel of wheat with
the surgar trust in New York for 10
pounds of sugar, than it would be
for him to send it abroad whence he
could bring back so pounds Of SUI
gar in exchange for it, if he were
not prohibited from doing so by law
or if he would exchange Is bushels
of wheat at home market for suit
of protected clothes instead of send
ing it abroad and bring back for it
not only better suit of clothes, but
50 besides. In this last transaction
how much poorer would the country
be for having exchanged $15 worth
of wheat for SIS worth of clothing
and SO in money to boot? And how
much better off would the farmer
be who did this than his neighbo1
who, deciple of the home market

Brooks, his wife and five children,

arrived in st. Joseph yesterday, hav-
ing walked from Marion county,
Kansas, over 800 miles, since the
first of the month. The family went
to southwestern Kansas during the
boom and proved a claim. Poor
crops resulted in their losing both
their stock and their farm. Their
neighbors were in almost the same
circumstances as themselves, and
when Brooks concluded to start fol
his old home at Sigourney, Iowa
nobody could help him. He finally
determined to walk, and his conclu
sion was partly carried out. Wher
they arrived here they were in {
horrible condition. The wife's shoe'
were worn out and her feet mas

boys aged 4 and years, had walked
nearly all the way, and their COW

THE HOME MARKET.

The Republic Bureau,
Cor. 14th st. and Pennsylvania Ave,
In his tariff speech at last nights
.ession of the House MIR. Wike
forcibly illustrated the ''home mar
ket" racket as follows:
"Protectionists insist, however,
that the farmer is recompensed for
these enforced contributions-nay
for these robberies-by the building
up of a home market to absorb his
surplus produce. But how does
this help the farmers in the west
since the nine industrial states (so-
called) in the east raise all the agri-
cultural produce themselves that
thew consume (or within avery small
fraction of it.) And while the state
of Rhode Island-the little joker
charges the states of Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin some twelve and
half million dollars annually extra
that is more than England would
charge-for the cotton goods alone
that they ume,there is probably
not congressional district in llli-
nois that does not embrace a single
county that raises more surplus pro-
duce annually than the whole
state of Rhode Island consumes.
And my congressional district alone,
taking one year with another will
raise more surplus produce annually
than is imported for consumption
by Rhode Island and Massachusetts
which manufacture nearly half OF
the lwoolen and four-ffths of the
cotton for the entire United States
Such is the pernicious and delusive
character of the home market hum
