Fire and Famine at Sea.


NEW YORK, July 10.-Csptain Walter
Campbell, of the ship Hoogley, of Melbourne
was at the Maritime Exchange to-day aud
has cleared up the mystery as to TO the fate
of the schooner Carmelite, of Vancouver, B
c., which sailed from Sydney on December
p last and had not since been heard from.
The Hoogley sailed from sydney on Janua-
ry 80, and in the latter part of February
sighted the Carmelite flying signal of dis
tress. The Captain reported that she was on
fire, and that they had the matches closed
Captain Campbell set TO work to help the
Carmelite's crew.
For five days and nights the two crews
worked hard at the pumps, but the flames
gained on them, and on the fifth day burst
through the decks, and the intense heat and
the smoke drove the crews over into the
boats. When the two Captains saw that
the schooner was lost the Hoogley set sail
for Valparaiso.
FROM FIRE STo A CYCLONE
When about 500 miles from the South
American coast a cyclone came up and they
scudded before it under bare poles, and were
driven far out Of their course. During this
time the provisions and water had been
gradually sinking lower and lower. Ra;ions
were reduced, and half pint of water was
each mans daily allowance Soon the water
gave out entirely. The suiTrrings of the
crew in the fierce beat were intense. At
night sail was spread TO catch the rain
which fell, and the men tried to stake their
thirst. Small doses of brandy were served
from the Captains store.
During this time one of the men grew de-
iirious and sprang overheard. Another nm
fortunate sailor tried to quench his thirst
with salt water and went mad 1t was only
owing TO the coolness Of the two Captains
who knew what was at stake, that the men
were prevented from murdsring one another
Out of total crew Of twenty. one men only
eight could leave their hunks TO work the
ship.
LIVING on LEATHER AND BRANDY.
The provisions ran out some time after the
water supply had gone, and the men chew
ed pieces of leather to alleviate the frightful
pangs of starvation. Only the small store
ofbrandy saved the most of the men from
death. On the 10th of May they sighted
steamer bound for Cape HON, bui she failed
to see the Hoogley's signal. At this time
the men could no longer work the ship, aud
she was drifting toward the South American
coast.
However, they were sighted by the coast
ing steamer ii REQ, of the Guano Company,
and she went to their assistance towing
them into the port of ASCENSION There
they received medical attention. but the
crew had to be shipped on to the hospital at
Valparaiso.

Louisiana Lottery Bill,

BAToN RoUGE, July lO.-At a late hodr
last night the House received message
from the Senate returning the lottery bill
and veto thereon in accordance with the
report of the Senate Judiciary committee,
which was likewise transmitted. Mr..
Shields. of New Orleans, offered the follow
ing:
The Senate having refused to consider the
veto message ofthe Governor on House bill
10. pa, which bill is an amendment TO the
constitution passed by the requisite two
thirds majority Of all the members elected
to both Houses, and as the action of the
Senate denying the right or authority of the
Governor to veto a constitutional amend
ment is in entire occord with the views of
this House, that we heartily agree and con-
cur in the action Of the Senate, adopt their
reasons as ours, and that the Clerk Of the
House be instructed TO deliver to the Secre-
tary of the State for promulgation, enrolled
House bill No. PA, with csrtifisl copy of
the proceedings of the House on the said
bill, and to take the receipt Of the Secretary
for the same.
After flibustering by the entis until 1890
a. m. the above was finally adopted by a
vote of61 to p. This disposes of the lottery
question as far as the Legislature is con-
cerned.

A Determined Effort VIII be Made
to Pass the Federal Election Bill.

WAsHINGTox, July IA tremendous
amount of work is being done in the inter
ests of the election bill, and the workers do
not meet with any serious obstacle. The
great thing to accomplish is to excite some
enthusiasm among the Senators. Those
grave and reverend gentlemen are not emo
iional and are slow TO move, but there are
signs of awakening among them. The COM
mittee of senators appointed to consider by
what means the Federal election bill could
be passed through the Senate, if it is deter
mined TO take it up and press it to passage,
have been comforting curing the day. The
proposition submitted to the next caucus
will probably be to have motion made in
the Senate to fix time for taking vote on
the measure and to let the fight come up ON
this motion. There would bes no parlia-
mentary means of limiting the debate upon
this restrictive proposition, but the majority
would, ifthey adopted this course of proce-
cedure, rely upon test of physical endur-
ance to force vote. They will prevent an
adjournment, and then see which party
would get tired first, At least this is one
proposition.
This plan will in all probability be pre-
sented to the next caucls for consideration.
There will be strong opposition to IT, but
just how strong is question. II is report
ed to-day that if the mlori.y do resort TO a
change of rules then they will determine to
60 the full length and will take up the APP
portionment bill also. Superintendent of
Census Porter and someof the Senators have
beon talking over the progress of the work
Of the census, and it is said that he has in
formed them that the census enumeration
will be completed and verified in a short
time. The caucus viii be held on Monday
night. The committee has definitely deci-
ded on such a change of rules as will permit
of the calling for the previous question.
Speaking of the prospects of the lodge bill
to-day Judge Payson, of Illinois, one of the
ablest and wisest of the members of the
House, said The Federal election bill
will be taken up by the Senate and will be
passed, this is certain as anything can be
that has not been actually accomplished.
1t is nonsense to talk of laying back and
saying that the House has performed its
duty and there lei it rest. If there was rea-
son to pass the bill by the House then it
must become law and be applied TO the
elections this fall. Having taken hold of
the plow it will not do to stop and look
back.

Wages ana Free-Trade.

From The Irish Wos.d.
The testimony taken before the Committee
OF Ways and Means, on the question OF
Tariff. shows the imPossibility OF American
workmen competing with. the uncerpaid
labor of Europe One witness. interested in
the button business, declared that Bohemia
is the curse of this country so far the button
manufacturers are concerned. People there
lived like cattle and worked almost for
nothing and children from six to nine years
old, worked too. Do you suppose that our
men can compete with them - Another
witness, in the same line of business, testiii-
ed as to the depreciation OF the bone button
trade, resulting from foreign competition.
He said that the buttons cost him Sl.25
gross to manufacture, and that Dinety-five
cents of this was pure labor. Il would be
difficult for the advocates Of Free-Trade TO
show how this manufacturer could remain
in business and continue TO pay these ninety
five cents for labor if he is not properly pro-
tected against bohemian competition.
Another witness, spectacle and eye-glass
maker, produced medium quality Of spec
tscles and said that they were made by him
self and sold for sl.55 a dozen. Thereupon
ensued the following conversation:
Mr.. Flower You don't mean to tell me
that anybody can make speciacles cheaper
than that? Witness.-Yes, sir; here is a
German copy Of that sample that sells at
from sixty to eighty cents dozen after
paying, it is alleged, forty-five per cent. duty.
Another witness, engaged in the manu-
featuring of razors, testified as to the bad
effects Of German competition. The AmeTi-
can workmen, lac said, who ground the best
razor got s. day, while German workmen
we're paid $40 week for the same work.
And so with every other trade. The
burden Of the testimony given before the
Committee on Ways and Means goes to show
that the discrepancy between the wages paid
American workmen aud that paid their
foreign competitors is 50 great that it would
be the height of folly for American employ
ers to try and c)ntinue in business and pay
the present rate of wages if ever the Free
Traders should gain the upper hand
In the first speech he delivered after
coming home from Europe Mr.. Blaine de
clared that the question of Protection from
the core to the rind was one Of wages. The
testimony given before the Committee of
Ways and Means confirms the statement Of
the Secretary OF State. Yet the advocates
of Free-T Trade rely upon the vote of the wage
workers to bring about deadly competition
that would, in short time, reduce the wages
of American workinen 10 point where they
would be obliged to adopt European stand
ard of living.

Train Robbers BOOTY Found.

MINNEAPOLIS, MfNN- July l2-On the
night of June last, Northern Pacific train
was boarded near New Salem, n. D.. bytwo
masked men who terrorized passengers and
go; away with several pouches Of registered
mail matter. One Of the robbers was after
ward captured by sherf7s posse. Believ-
ing that part of the money at least bad been
concealed by the captured rob5er or rather
thrown away during his short ligilt after
discovery, Postohice Inspector Watkins left
the city last Friday morning, taking one as
sistant with him. On Sunday morning
they reached the spot on the bank Of the
stream where they got their man. Recent
rains had caused a heavy growth Of grass.
and the wind had been sweeping over the
place since June 10. bat after days search
over a space Of about four acres the shrewd-
ness Of the inspector WAS rewarded BIZ frd-
ing in torn bits and ragged pieces large
-mount of currency. There were found
numerous tens and taenties, more or less
mutilated, and one bill of 81 600. In the
prairte the grass was knee deep. The whole
bundle had been dropped in one place, and
in the robbers haste bad not been securely
hid. Coyotes or gophe had Torn and sepa-
rated the money and the winds had scatter
ed it. The amount recovered, the inspector
will not disclose, hut it is thought to be
$4,000.

THE holy horror expressed by Demo-
cratic journals lest the passage Of the
Federal Election bin shall degrade the
federal judiciary is in strorg contrast
with Democratic practice in respect to
the bench in general, and the United
States Supreme Bench in particular In
New York city, for instance, a $4,000
political assessment is considered about
the proper thing for Tammany candi-
date for judge to pay. If this * not de-
grading the bench, the Press does not
know what degradation Of the judiciary
is. 1t was 4 Democratic President. if
recollection serves, who appointed to the
Supreme Court an alleged lawyer from
Mississippi who had never tried ease
in his life.
How it can degrade the federal iudic-
iary to intrust them with the power and
authority TO maintain every mans right
to cast single vote in accordance with
the dictates of his conscience and have
that vote properly counted is beyond or
dinary comprehension Ye: that is the
proposition advanced by Democrats in
opposing the Federal Election bill. Such
argument from party that has motor
iously disgraced and degraded the local
and federal Judiciary as we have shown
is hardly worthy Of even passing notice,
except to contrast its preaching with its
practice.-N J. Press.
