WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The House occu-
pied today in committee of the whole in con.
sidering the Senate amendments to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. In the absence
of their leaders, the Democrats neglected to
filibuster. Good progress was made and the
bill was nearly completed. The amendment
nominating, among others, Thomas w. Hyde
of Maine member Of the Board of Managers
of the Soldiers National Home. called forth
considerable discussion. 1t seemed to be the
sense of the House that the appointment
should net have been made by an amendment
to money" bill, very unusual thing, and,
as the matter was already in conference be-
tween the military committees of the two
branches, it was pronounced to be discour-
teous attempt on the part of the Senate to
evade the purpose of the House. The amend
ment was not concurred in and will now go
to a committee of conference.
The committee on rules gave hearing this
morning to Mr. Enros Of Washington upon
his electrical voting machine. Under this
system member presses a button at his
desk and his yea and nay vote is at once re-
corded at the Speakers table, Its friends
claim that not more than two minutes will be
required for roll call and that equal accu-
racy with the present viva v0ce method will
be obtained. As the House so far this session
has already had more than three hundred
roll calls, and as each completed roll call
takes about thirty minutes, it can be seen
that more than thirty legislative days of five
hours each have been consumed in roll calls.
Under the electric system two days would
have been amply sufficient. Mr.. Enros asks
sixty thousand dollars for putting the system
in. The committee have taken the matter
under advisement

THREE BODIES RECOVERED.
More Supposed to Have Been Killed
In the Collision.

BALTIMORE, July 2S.-Steamer Virginia OF
the Old Bay line left Baltimore at seven this
evening for Norfolk, Va, on a regular trip.
She collided with the steamer Louise on her
way to Baltimore from Colchester Beach on
Chesapeake Bay with 1900 excursionists.
The collision occurred at S.11 p. m. off Fort
Carroll, about five miles from Baltimore, and
it is said resulted from the efforts of the
steamers to avoid schooner in tow of tug.
boat. The weather was thick and rainy.
The Virginia struck the Louise on the star
board side, aft Of the wheel, cutting away the
outer woodwork and crashing into the saloon.
The Virginia's stem was badly twisted and
her bow stove. Many excursionists are miss
ing. Three bodies were recovered up to II.
1t is supposed others were lost. The steam
ers came to Baltimore under their own steam,
Later-The demo lished part of the Louise
extended inboard gat or nine feet. Camp
Stools, seats, cushions and debris were
stained with the blood Of the killed and in
Jured. The officers of the Louise found
alongside the demolished part of the boat
the body Of dead boy. Directly opposite
was the mangled body Of dead woman. A
number Of people are missing. The deaths
so far as known were five on the excursion
boat. A number OF persons were injured.
There were no fatalities on the Virginia.

soon died. Another woman was crushed.
She was living when the boat reached this
city: A third woman was fatally cut on the
head.

Family Quarrel,
Which Means Opportunity for the

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 28.-The New
South, the most prominent paper published
by.negroes IN this state, conservative and
well edited, says "The present political
contest In South Carolina Is a white mans
fight In every respect II the colored people
show the part Of wisdom, they will have no
hand In II. either one way or another. Let
whiteDemocrats fight to their hearts content
The time for us to take hand has not yet
arrived. 1t will certainly come, just as sure
as day follows night. But IL has not yet ar
rived. The colored people OF South Caro-
lima hold the balance Of power in the state,
and when the whites are effectively divided
there will not be any difficulty In making II
effective for good In bringing about a better
state OF affairs, 20 far as they are concerned.
There is no rubbing 1t out, the unterrifed
Democracy Is hopelessly divided. The party
Is rent in twain. IL matters not who Il gov.
ernOr; there will be Tillman and anti-Till-
man party In the state. The negrO's OppOr-
tunity will then be fairly at hand, after SO
many years OF patient, though anxious wait

needs, an equal chance In the race. The sit
uation calls for the utmost prudence, so far
as he Is concerned, however, for It does not
require any very great amount Of alarm TO
reunite the. antagonistic elements among the
whites against the race"
In another article that paper indicates that
a change has recently taken place In certain
quarters and that an appeal TO the negro Is
probable. 1t says: THE News and Cour-
Ter mas ceased us warfare against the colored
people of the country. We presume it will
now find that the race Is not so bad after all.
IL would not surprise US to see an appeal 10
the intelligence and patriotism Of the negro,

sity knows no law, and we w0dld not be

dice has blinded its eyes to heretofore. AS a
matter OF fact the fight between the whites

Trees Blown Down In Ruxton-The
cities by the Saco.

BDDEFoRD, July 28,-Hiram Knight, who
lives about three miles up on the Buxton
road at the top of quite high hill, at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, noticed an extra
black cloud approaching from the west, and
moment later there was terrible rush of
wind and rain. 1t had all passed in min
ute, but its work was visible in a couple of
large trees which lay uprooted upon the sod.
and fences upon either side Of the road
which the miniature cyclone had levelled.
The storm seems to have originated and
spent itself within the space of few rods,
since these two trees and perhaps fifty
feet of fence on each side of the road are the
only evidences of cyclonic disturbance.
Henry |. Lord OF this city has been re-
talned as one Of the counsel for Remi La
montange, who, with his sister Leda as an
accessory, is to be tried in the Sherbrooke,
p. O., court in September, for the murder OF
the latter's husband.
Bishop Healy's letter, read at st. Mary's
church yesterday, seems to be capable of two
constructions. The letter referred to the re-
moval of Father Harrington to Whitefeld.
Father Harrington's friends claim that his
absence will be a temporary one, and that
he will return and serve as assistant to
Father Linehan. The other party in the
church say that the Bishop has removed
Father Harrington permanently from the
parish.
Yesterday was about the liveliest Sunday
ever known at Old Orchard, 1t being esti-
mated that there were fully 1900 people
there during the day.
The trial of Samuel McKenney, of Old
Orchard, at whose place seizure Of liquors
was recently made, occurred in the Bidde-
ford court this afternoon. A flaw was dis
covered in the warrant and the prisoner was
discharged.

crossing Satisfactorily.
The Philadelphia Gold Mine for the
Men who Built Her.

NEW YORK, July 28.-Secretary of the
Navy B. F. Tracy left Washington on Satur-
day evening to make an official inspection of
the property Of the Navy along the New
England coast. He spent yesterday at the
Oriental Hotel at Manhattan Beach and
started from the Navy Yard today in the
Despatch for Bar Harbor, where the vessels
Of the North Atlantic squadron now are.
He will stop on the way to look at the naval
station at New London, to consider wheth-
er 1t has the advantages for navy yard 1t
Is said to have. He will also visit the War
College, the torpedo school and the training
station at Newport, to make himself famil-
lar with their needs. While at Portsmouth

progress of the work. He will be absent
three or four weeks, but hopes to be in Bos-

The cruiser Maine is making more rapid
progress now than at any time since the keel
was laid. The recent interest taken by
Gen. Tracy in the suppression of partisan
removals among the laborers has had good
effect, and work has not been interrupted as
often as formerly. Naval Constructor Min
t0nye is confident that the big cruiser will
be launched in the early autumn.

Longest Railroad In the worle

NEW YORK, July 2S.-G. w. Van Siclen,
secretary Of the Holland Trust Company,
sailed on the Ems Saturday for Europe,
where he will place bonds for the new Pan
ama-American Railroad Company, which
will open new communication between the
United States and South America.
The new road was commenced on July 4,
and runs from Corpus Christi. The first di-
vision Is known as the South American and
Corpus Christi railroad, and Is chartered uu-
der the laws Of the State of Texas. 1t ex-
tends from Corpus Christi, Texas, to
Brownsville and Matamoras.
The plan of the company is to cross the
Rio Grande river with drawbridges, and it is
hoped that the work will be completed with
in the next five years. The aim of the new
road is to have the line 1900 miles shorter
than the one to Mexico City and 800 miles
shorter than any other route.
1t is believed that the new line will be a
boon to American merchants and give them
great advantage over the foreign manufac-
turers and merchants. When completed the
new line will be the longest one in the world

PHILADELPHIA, July 2S.-The new cruiser
Philadelphia. which was to have been put

seven cars to bring her II six-inch (her lar

Ground. The premium which the Cramps
received for excess of speed at the recent
trial beyond what the contract called for
was more valuable than the Suburban or a
half dozen Derbys. 1t amounted to more
than 100000.
