LOTS OF WORK AHEAD.

Poor Outlook for an Early Vote the
Tariff Bill in the Senate.
THE first week in August opened in the
Senate with eighteen pages of the tariff bill
disposed of out of $50, or 10 per cent of the
whole. Ten days have been consumed in
accomplishing that much. At the same
radio it will take a hundred days in all to
dispose of the bill. Mr.. Davis offered a
resolution in the Senate on the 4th
calling on the Secretary of War for inforrna-
ton respecting the accident to the lock
in the Sault. Ste. Marie Canal Mr.. Davis
said this was serious calamity to the great
commerce of the lakes, inflictfng damage to
the commerce between the upper and lower
lakes of perhaps half million day. In
cidentally he referred to the failure of the
House to act on the bill passed by the SEN
ate several months ago, providing for q
second and larger lock. Mr. Cockrell ex-
pressed surprise that the ''business branch"
of Congress paid no attention
to the matter. The presiding Of
ficer (BIr. Ingalls) said that he had OBJ
served with regret the growing tendency to
aIlude in terms of severity and disparage-
ment to the proceedings of the other house
of Congress. Tt was a violation of the fun
damentaI principles of parliamentary law
to refer in one house to what was done or
said in the other The House went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Payson, of
Illinois, in the chair, on the general def
cheney appropriation bill. Mr.. Henderson,
of Iowa, explained that the bill carried an
appropriation of S5,140, 900. The items of
deficiency submitted to the Committee on
Appropriations aggregated $13, 500, 000

NINE DAYS AT SEA IN OPEN
BOATS.

Fate of ). Norwegian Barlx-C o1lides with
an Iceberg and Is Sunk-Great Priva-
tions Endured by the Shipwrecked Crew
While Adrift Among Icebergs.
Quebec (Canada) dispatch: The bark
Asl1ow, from Hamburg, which arrived
here last night. had on board Capt.
Anderson, the mate, and four OF the
crew of the Norwegian bark SperanZa,
Capt. Anderson, which was sunk off
the Grand Banks in collision with an
iceberg. Capt Anderson, in his story
of the accident, says:
1.-The ship had several very close
shaves, and one day did actually run
into an iceberg, but without doing any
great damage The incident made
them more cautious. Two nights after
ward, when in a thick fog. stiff north
west wind blowing, and the vessel MAX
ing very good time, she ran plump into
an iceberg as tall as her spars and,
Capt. Anderson believes, fully
mile long. He says it was
running into the face of cliff.
The bark's bows were crushed in
as if she were an egg she'll, and be-
fore those aboard could collect their
senses the vessel began settling in the
water. Captain Anderson gave orders
to work the pumps, but only a half
dozen strokes had been taken before il
it was found that to save their lives
the crew must desert the ship immedi-
ately. One side of the vessel was still
crunching against the side of the
berg. and the foretopmast with
it's rigging, and the forward yards
were strung over both bows
where thew had fallen when
the vessel struck. The waite below
rushed out of the forecastle in their
trousers and shirts when the shock
came, and all hands at once took to the
two boats. The second mate took COM
mand Of the smaller boat, with three
others of the crew, while the captain
and the first mate, with four of the
crew, took the larger boat. The smaller
boat has not been seen since the day
after the collision, three weeks ago,
and they are all thought to be lost
The captains boat had very little
provisions in it, and the next morning
an attempt was made to lay a course for
the Newfoundland coast. But they had
apparently struck the eastern edge of a
great field of ice and icebergs, for they
rowed and sailed about for three days
in the fog and ice before finding pas
sage safe enough to justify their going
on toward the coast The small boat
became separated from them in the
fog, and was probably crushed to
pieces among the great bergs.
Captain Anderson's boat had many
narrow escapes, but weathered
them all safely. On the sixth day
starvation stared them in the face.
They had cleared the icebergs, but
their provisions and water were nearly
all gone On the eighth day the last
drop of water gave out, but on the
afternoon of the ninth day the Askow
hove in sight and picked up the un-
fortunate men. A boy in the captains
boat had his feet badly frozen, and the
seamen were all more or less exhausted
by the ir privation and the intense cold.

FORTY ACRES OF FIRE.

Grand Seen on the Lake Shore at Chicago.
Upward of 900 telegraph poles, saying
nothing of thousands of cedar posts, to-
gether with two trains of cars, many of them
loaded with lumber, were consumed in a
destructive fire that licked up every
thing on the north pier from the light
house to the lake at Chicago the
other night Edward E. Aver is the
owner of vast quantities of lumber in the
midst of which the fire originated. Lum-
bermen at the fire estimated the value of
Ayers stock variously at from 100000 to
S15O,000 The stock is almost a total loss.
The value of the railroad cars destroyed is,
perhaps, S25, 600. The lighthouse was dam
aged to the extent of $500, and the docking
destroyed is worth, perhaps, $4,000 These
calculations would bring the total loss up
to mot less than S240, 800.

TRADE is SATISFACTORY.

More Confident Feeling Among Iron Men
All Prices Tending Upward.
r. G. Dun & Co. S weekly review of trade
says:
Prices of commodities tend steadily up
ward with the expectation of abundant
money, and have risen half of per cent.
during the week and this movement, if pro-
longed, Will tend to cause shipments of gold
instead of products. At almost all the in
terror markets, as here, the rates have been
moderate thus far and the supply ample,
however, and the complaints of slow collec-
tions, though little more frequent than of
late, are comparatively rare. The accounts
of trade are almost uniformly satisfactory.
!. A slight falling off in some lines is seen at
ST. Louis, and rain is badly needed for
crops in the region tributary to Milwaukee,
but for the midsummer season the State of
business is better than usual.
