Newfoundland's Petition Ignored-A Pro-
posed Zoilverein Knocked in the Head.
Another Jack-the- Ripper Scare.

! LONDON, Feb. 17.-In the house oil
lords today, replying to questions about
| the convention between Newfoundland
and the United States, the delay re-
/ garding which is causing dissatisfaction
in Newfoundland, Lord Knutsford, sec
retary of state, said the imperial govern
| ment had been condemned for breaking
engagements, but none were ever given
4 1t may at some time be possible to sc
4 cure for the colony the advantages it de
fsirBs. without prejudicing the in
terests Of other parts Of the em
pire, but imperial consent t.
negotiate seperate arrangements, has
always been subject to the we'll
recognized principle that the imperial
government must see how far the pro-
posed terms affect other interests of the
empire. Leave to negotiate, does not
imply imperial sanction. The Canadian
government made a strong protest
against the Newfoundland convention
with the United States, and, after ma
ture consideration, the government de-
cided that it could not for the present
be completed.
In the commons this morning, Vim
cent moved that the government at the
earliest opportunity invite the British
colonies to conference in London, to
debate the best means OF forming a
zollverein. He contended that imperial
federation was only to be obtained
through commercial federation.
A lengthy debate followed, partici-
pated in by Sir Lyon Playfair,
Goschen, chancellor of the excheuuer,
and others. Goschen believed that
the increasing desire forcloser union be.
tween England and the colonies, ought
to be fostered. There was no likeli-
hood, however. that the colonies would
consent to conference on free-trade
basis. There only remained differential
duties, and he failed to see how they
could be improved.
Vincent withdrew his motion.
The Parnellite and McCarthyite mem
bers of parliament held meetings today.
At the meeting of the Parnellites, res
olution was adopted stating that in the
negotiations between Parnell and O'Brien
with view to settle the existing dis
putes, the course of the former merited
the continued confidence of the Irish, as
capable Of guarding the interests and
honor of the Irish nation, and of con-
Quoting the nationalist cause to final
triumph.
Inquiries, made today by an Associ-

the report to be untrue.

the crew got ashore in skiff. Some
were rescued at Fifth street,
q The river was high, the wind wa.
strong, and as the vessel approached the
Chesapeake and Ohio bridge, those on

parently at the mercy OF the current.
In a moment more, with a terrible
crash, the steamer struck the stone
bridge and was Immediately disabled.

all the men he could, manned several

swim in to the shore. Two were on a
raft, and he thinks he saw many strug-
Cling in the water. When the steamer
reached the Fifth-street wharf, the hull
sank, leaving the passengers in the
cabin afloat. Here some OF the people
managed to get ashore.
The harbor steamer A. l.. Martin was
hastily sent after the floating cabin, and
caught it at Riverside, several miles be,
low the city. As many people as were
left, were taken hastily aboard, and
brought back.
Mrs. Mclean, of Pittsburg, was in
stantly killed by falling freight when
the boat struck the bridge.
At a. m. it is known definitely that
Mrs. McLeae, of Pittsburg, and hei
granddaughter, Margery Brown, were
the only ones OF the twenty registered
passengers lost. OF the nine unregis.
tered passengers, whether all are safe
is not sure, but it is believed they are
among those who were rescued by the
boats. All Of the crew, except the cabin
and deck clerks, are believed to have
escaped, but there was much uncertainty
about the clerks, and some roustabouts
who were not on the official lists.
Persons are reported escaping to the
shore for quite a distance along the
river below Covington. The rescued are
SO scattered about on both sides of the
river tonight, that it is impossible te
make tally OF those missing.
