LOSS OF LIFE.
A Large Steamer Blown Up at Chicago with
Thirty eight Persons on Board.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July ia frightful explo-
sion occurred tonight on the steamer Tioga,
at the foot of Washington street, one of the
largest vessels on the great lakes. Thirty
eight people were aboard the steamer at
the time. The work of rescuting the sur
vivors was commenced almost instantly,
and was soon we'll under way. Only two
persons could be found who were
unhurt. To make the matter worse
fire broke out on the wrecked
vessel and huge volumes of flame
and smoke impeded the searchers for the
dead and dying. The bursting of the steam
er's boilers was the cause of the catastrophe.
This locality is in the heart of the city and
the terrific shock brought the people run
ming in terror out of buildings blocks away
Most of the victims were Chicago steve
dores who were unloading the vessel. Only
three OF the Tioga's crew were reported on
the list. While the fire was still in progress
an Associated Press reporter met the cap
tain ofthe ill fated steamer on the forward
deck. The officer consented to stop long
enough in his task of Strengthening out the
confusion prevailing, to give statement
of what he knew of the wreck Said he:

missingwho belonged to the crew there must
have been from twelve to fifteen men
killed and probably half a dozen
additional wounded. There were laborers
in the hold who were unloading. The ex-
plosion occurred in the hold not in the
machinery or the boilers. Among those
supposed so in the hold were John Neil,
white man, Osborne Polk, Henry Alex.

Tackling the Whisky Trust.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July l1.7-J. d. Her, well
known western brewer, is preparing to es-
tablish large distilling industry in opposi-
ton to the whisky trust. He is in Chicago
for the purpose of selecting machinery for q
distillery to cost 100000. Such an estab-
lishmeDt would furnish all the spirits and
alcohol that the trust now has trade for, in
dependent of outside houses.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Her and his associates
not only to put up big distillery
but combine other industries with il TO
warrant the establishment OF small West
ern town. This, with the profits from Mr..
Hers breweries, would keep distillery
afioat, even if the trust gave away its
products. 1t will be in such shape that
the enterprise can meet the terms of the
trust at any stage. The plant is to be es-
tablished on the Missouri river at some
point in the heart OF the corn belt, but Mr..
Hers declines to make the location public
with more exactness pending the purchase
of the necessary land.

Y-FIRST CONGRESS.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The presiding
officer, ingalls,, announced his signature to
the bill for the admission of Wyoming as a
State. The bill now goes to the president
for his signature.
On motion of Senator Baird the senate
proceeded to executive business. The
doors were re. opened at 1 o'clock and the
sundry civil appropriation bills was taken
up and Senator Allison stated he would
ask for its consideration tomorrow.
Consideration of the conference report on
silver was resumed, and Senator Cockrell
continued his argument against the report.
Senator Cockrell vigorously opposed the
conference bill, and among other things
said: II believe that if the senate will re-
iect this report the house viii, in the end
agree to the senate bill The house has had
no fair chance to pass upon it. We have
made no determined effort in support of
the senate bill. We show no backbone.
We show no disposition to stand by what
we have solemnly done after the fullest,
freest and fairest discussion ever had
in the senate. This bill in my
opinion, is il finitely worse than the
present law. There is no comparison be-
tween it and the bill that passed the senate.
But we surrender at 1.-THE first fire. We
We abandon all pretentions that we have
made in the interest of silver.
Senator Daniel then addressed the senate
in opposition to the report. The silver
question, he said, was u great deal bigger
than the president of the United States,
whether the presidents name were Benja-
min Harrison or Grover Cleveland, and it
was never going to be won as it ought to be
until the senate was as great as the ques-
ton. The senate and house ought never to
give up the vantage ground which silver
had gained, but should reply to those who
opposed them as the gallant officer replied
to the demand for his surrender: Come
and take me.
Senator Morgan took the floor but saw
he could not finish his remarks today.
Senator Sherman proposed that an agree
ment should be made to take vote at 3
o'clock tomorrow.
S-nator Cockrell objected. He had no
Doubt he said The vote would be taken TO-
morrow but the hour could not be fixed
now. He knew of two or three senators
who desired to speak on the bill
Senator Sherman said he was satisfied |
with that, the vote would be taken TO-
morrow. The senate then adjourned.
