STEAMERS IN a CRAsH.
Three Bodies Recovered and Others
Probably Lost.

Probably Lost.
BALTIMORE, ND, July 2S.-The steamer
Virginia of the Old Bay Line. which left
Baltimore at O'Clock this evening for Nor
folk, Va, on her regular trip, was in col
lislon with the steamer Louise, on her way
to Baltimore from colchester Beach, on
the Chesapeake bay, with 800 excursion
lists. The collision occurred at S:ll o'clock
off Fort Carroll, about five miles from Balti-
more.
CAUSE OF THE CRASH.
1t is said that the collision resulted from
the efforts of the steamers TO avoid q
schooner in tow of tugboat. The weather
was thick and rainy. The Virginia struck
the Louise on the starboard side, cutting
away her outer woodwork and crashing
into the saloon. The VirgInia's stern was
badly twisted and her bow damaged. Three
bodies have been recovered up TO II O'clock.
1t is supposed that others have been lost
The steamers came to Baltimore under
their own steam.
STRUCK ON HER sTARBoARD SIDE.
BALTIMORE, July 20, L A. M.-The Vir-
ginia struck the Louise on the starboard
side, twenty-five feet from the stern. tore
away the joiner work on the upper and
lower decks, and cracked one of tie iron
plates of the hull. The Louise slowed down
as soon as OdpU. lrultG saw COlllslOu was
coming and prevented a more serious disas-
ter.
The death lists far is five on the excur-
sion boat, with number of persons in
jured. There were no fatalities on the Vir-
ginia. Capt Bohannon of the Virginia
describes the accident as having been
caused by his efforts to clear a schooner
under sail bound up. When the steamer came
in view behind the schooner the
Virginia's engines were reversed and her
headway was nearly killed. When the
steamers came in collision the people on the
Louise rushed to the side where the Virginia
struck, and this accounts for the number of
deaths.
The dead known are:
CATHERINE KAISER,
WILLIAM BIEGAL,
DANIEL CAUP,
CHARLES GRENsER.
These were killed in the crash.
A number of people are missing, but they
may turn up when the excitement subsidies.
Marshal Frey and Capt. Freeburger had
the whole available police force at the
docks to quiet the commotion.

POWER OF THE PREMIER.
Lord Salisbury Answers the Recent
Interpolation.

Lord Salisbury Answers the Recent
Interpolation.
LONDON, July 2S.-In the House of Lords
tonight Baron Stracheden raised question
as to whether the office of premier ought
to be combined with that of foreign secre-
tary. The troubled state of foreign affairs
demanded undivided attention.
Lord Salisbury replied that Mr.. Glad
stone had asserted that it was impossible for
one man to discharge the duties of both
offices unless possessed of superhuman
energy. This may have been true when
the premier was the leader in the House of
Commons, hut when the premier was in the
House of Lords the case was different. The
premier iuterfered very little with foreign
affairs outside of cabinet questions, and one
man could well combine both offices.

FIXING UP THE TARIFF.
The Republicans of the Senate FL
nance Committee Meet.

nance Committee Meet.
WASHINGTON. July 2s.--The republican
members of the Senate committee on
finance held a meeting to-day, at which
they considered several amendments to the
tariff bill, which will be proposed when the
schedule to which they relate are reached.
They are said to be largely formal. some of
them intended to correct errors in print, and
others to make slight increases in several
of the schedules restoring rates named in
the bill as it passed the House.
A conference Of the republican members
will be held shortly, to determine upon
policy with respect to reciprocity amend
ments, and also in respect to the resolution
of Senator Teller proposing an interna-
tional bimetallic arrangement.
HALF A DOZEN MEASURES Drafted
Senator Aldrich, the manager of the
tariff bill, has drafted half a dozen rec
iprocity amendments for that measure, none
of which he has yet thought good enough to
present to his colleagues on the finance
committee. This we'll illustrates the un-
certainty of the republican senatorial mind
on this subject. If Secretary Blaine had
not stirred it up no attention whatever
would have been paid to it by either house.
His Ipan-American report, which deals only
with South America, would have been
pigeou-holed and there the matter would
have ended
A DEMAND DRAWN OUT.
But Secretary Blaines letter has drawn
out something like demand for it from
different parts of the country, and this
troubles the republican senator's. What
they are trying to do now
is to measure this demand, and if
they satisfy themselves that it is too
important to be ignored they will endeavor
to see what is the mildest compromise sub
stitute for Secretary Blaine's proposition
which will satisfy it. There is PROPOSE
sition to place the matter in the hands of
the President by permitting him to impose
duties in his discretion on raw sugar, hides,
rubber, coffee, cocoa, jute and other fbers
on the free list of the McKin-
ley bill. Free wool, - - which
was the basis of Secretary Blaine's
original proposition, is of course to be ex-
cluded. Messrs Delano, Lawrence and
Harvester absolutely control President Har-
rison, Speaker Reed. Chairman Mckinley
and Senators Sherman and Aldrich. They
have declared war on Secretary Blaine. and
will do what they can to defeat his presi-
dental aspirations.

SUNDRY CIVIL CASH.
The Bill Again Occupies the Time of
the House.


WASHINGTON, July 28.-In the House to-
day motion made by Mr.. Cannon of
Illinois that the House go into committee of
the whole for further consideration of the
Senate amendments to the sundry civil
appropriation bill was antagonized in the
interest of District of Columbia legislation,
but prevailed, Mr.. Burrows of Michigan
taking the chair.
The recommendations Of the committee on
appropriations were agreed to without much
friction. the bone of contention, the Senate
amendment being passed over until other
matters were disposed of.
Mr. Cannon made strong effort to throw
into conference the Senate amendment in
creasing the appropriation for the publica-
tion of the official records of the late war
from 81 1000, but was defeated, the House
deciding to concur. ALI the democrats,
with a very few exceptions, and large
number of republicans voted to agree to
the amendment.
Without disposing Of all the amendments
the committee rose and the House, at $40
O'Clock, adjourned.

tendent Porter's 1.500 clerks, working in
two shifts, night and day, compile on the
electrical tabulating machines 1850. 900
names every twenty-four hours except Sun
day. At this rate Supt. Porter estimates
that the rough count will be completed by
Aug. 20. Supt. Porter says he is not try
ing to get out the figures in time for the
passage of reapportionment bill at this
session, and. as matter Of fact,
they may be too late for it, since the
rough count may not be published for Use un-
til September, but the determination of this
question lies with Speaker Reed, and he has
not as yet vouchsafed any information as
to what he will do. He seems to be await
ing the figures, knowing that it is entirely
possible that they will not show such fair
result to the Republican party as the Re-
publican party has predicted.
