A Steamer Bound for Europe Struck by .
Hurricane-Eight Of the Crew Lost.
HALIFAX. N. s.. Sept 2.--The steamer Dun
murry of Belfast, which sailed from New York
August 26 for Antwerp, with a cargo Of grain,
sank about 800 miles east OF New York on the
morning of the 29th. She had . crew Of
twenty-six men, commanded by Capt McMor-
ran. Eight Of the crew were lost The others
were tossed about in n life boat for two days
and finally picked up by the steamer Hans and
Hurst, which carried the men to this port.
Capt McMorran, who is one Of the survivors,
told reporter that after leaving New York on
Wednesday last fine weather was experienced
until Saturday morning when the vessel was
struck by hurricane and thrown on her beam
ends. Tremendous seas were shipped, and the
ship became totally unmanageabls. The port
side Of the deck was in water, and the list was
constantly increasing. The captain saw the
steamer could only remain ahoat for q few
minutes, and all hands we're called from below.
Life belts were served to every man The
ports were washed away. One Life boat and the
life raft were barely in the water when the
steamer capsized, keel mp, and remained In
that position FOR . few moments. All Of the
crew except few who had gotten into the boat
were thrown into the water. Most Of them
were picked up by their companions in the
boat, but eight were drowned The names Of
the lost are: John McKibben, Belfast; George
Gray. Dumbaston; James Spencer, Lowestoft;
]. Kerne, Swansea; Fred. Skiffel, Hamburg; @,
Baker, Liverpool; r Ryo, Plymouth, and An
ton Aefner, Hamburg.

POLITICS IN NEW YORK.
Democratic Uneasiness Over Lieut.. Gov.
Jones' Determination to Run.

Democratic Uneasiness Over Lieut.. Gov.
Jones' Determination to Run.
The prospect that Lieut.. Gov. Jones will
run rs an independent candidate for governor
OF New York is calculated to give the demo-
Gratis some uneasiness. With two democratic
candidates in the field, each having plenty of
money which he is willing to spend to advance
his own interests, the democratic party could
not 60 into the contest with any feeling of Sc
curity. Politicians who are familiar with New
York politics and are watching thirgs
there now with particular interest
say that the republicans have no chance of
electing governor if the democrats we're
working harmoniously together. but that there
is SO much rivalry between the factions both
over the governorship and over the prospect,
of the presidential nomination that every thing
is topsy-turvy with the democrats.
CLEVELAND AND HILL.
The Cleveland men have gone to work
quietly, after the old-time Tilden plan, to get
control of the state, and SO far there are signs
OF their being successful and Governor
Hill has on his war paint. 1t is
suspected, and openly declared in some
quarters that Mr. Hill is determined to keep
up discord in the party and that he would even
look on with complacency if the democratic
candidate for governor. if not of his naming,
should be defeated.
EFFECT OF FLOWERS DEFEAT.
A defeat for Mr.. Flower would involve no
particular personal loss to MIR. Hill, but, on
the contrary, contrasted with his own former
victories. might give color to the claims of his
friends that he is the only democrat who can
be sure Of always carrying the state when he
tries. 1t is pretty generally conceded that Mr..
Flower will be the regular democratic nomi-
nee.
Mr.. Flower has aspired to the presidency be-
fore and his election as governor might put
another rival to MIR. Hill in the field, and if
Flower did not feel revival of his former am
bitiOn it is understood that his influence would
be used for Mr.. Cleveland.
The contemplation Of either prospect is not
calculated to inspire Mr.. Hill with enthusiasm,
and he is credited with making things very dis
agreeable for his party.
REPUBLICANS FESTIVE OF PLATT INFLUENCE.
If, in addition to the trouble they are having,
Mr.. Jones divides the party. it will make the
campaign both lively and uncertain. As an
offset to the democratic troubles there is said
to be a very earnest determination the part
of certain republicans to shake of the Platt in
fuence.

NOT RETROACTIVE.
Attorney General Miller's Opinion as to the
Effect of Identified Sentence.

Attorney General Miller's Opinion as to the
Effect of a Kemitted Sentence.
The Attorney General has decided an inter-
esting question constituting the effect of the
remission Of the sentence Of q court-martial
upon the standing of naval officer. An
officer was, by sentence of a court-martial,
suspended from duty for fixed time with the
condition that he was to retain his number in
his grade until the expiration Of the sentence.
Before the sentence expired the unexecuted
portion was RENTED, but during its operation
two officers had passed above the suspended
officer in grade number. This officer,
after the remission, holding that it
was pardon and carried with it
rectification of the continuing penalty from
which he suffers in the advancement Of the two
ofncers over his number, sought to be placed
upon the list at the point he wonld have attained
had the sentence not been enforced. The ques-
tion was referred to the Attorney General, who
has decided that the remission of the unexe-
cuted part OF the sentence was not retroactive.
and that such punishment as had been suffered
while It was in operation could not be rectified.
Therefore the officers application has been re-
jected.

SECRETARY RUsK RETURNS,
Pork and Beef Inspection in the West Prov
ing Success.


ing a Success.
Crops are looking up in the farming districts
in and around this city today, while the corn
crop at Cape May has decidedly wilted. The
fact is that Secretary Rusk has returned to
Washington and this morning was holding down
his seat at the Agricultural Department with
bis usual skill and ability. The Secretary had
made only flying trip to Cape May, had talked
with the President, presumably about the po-
tato crop, and had then returned to this city.

Secretary Rusk to STAR reporter. $50 far as

Apprised by Mr. Egan of the Result Of the
Chilian War-The Diplomatic Situation.

Appr1seu Dy Mr. Egan OF the Result OF the
Chilian wsr-The Diplomatic Situation.
Minister Egan has been heard from and the
State Department has at last been officially ap-
prised that the war in Chill is ended. As a re-
suit the department Is in a less perplexed
frame Of mind than heretofore. Minister
Egan's dispatch was dated at Santiago yester-
day, and ran thus:
"a decisive battle, Valparaiso, 2sth August
The revolution entirely successful President
Baimaceda resigned 2Sth. Revolutionists fully
installed. Everything tranquil. EaAS."
There is one thing to be noted, in the dis
patch. Mr.. Egan refers to the revolution" and
the ''revolutionists" These are terms that
have heretofore been tabooed in all references
to the Chilian war. Balmaceda, according to
the code, was being opposed by insurgents"
or r"congressionalists," forming party. en-
gagged in an '.insurrection." There is
a nice art in this hair-splitting over words in
diplomatic lingo, and the most exact care is
exercised by consular agents and other repre-
sensatives in their phraseologv. An old couplet
puts the question neatly in about these lines:
Treason never prospers-
What's the reason?
Ii 1t does, none dare call it treason"
Thus poesy comes in to Mr.. Egans aid. It
is generally accepted that the line Of antagon-
ism runs thus: A riot, rebellion, a revolution.
A revolution is a successful rebellion. Hence
the weight of Mr.. Egan's terms revolution"
and ''revolutionists." The additional phrase
to the effect that the successful party is fully
installed is also ponderous with meaning,
and the State Department is now in the posi-
tion Of knowing that the Baimaceda govern
ment is now no more and hence that some
change in the status of ministers both to and
from Chill must soon ensue.
The niceties Of phraseology in Mr.. Egan's
cablegram cannot be the creatures Of chance
scribbling, for he had three whole days in
which to write his message. He must have
taken time and he therefore probably had
ample opportunity to choose his words
At the State Department this morning il
was stated that no steps would be taken to-
ward the recognition of the new government
until further information and details have
been received from MIR. Egan and the United
States consul, Mr.. McCreery.

COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS PLANS.
1t II Said He Has No Intention Of Resign
ing His Ofice,

Letters received from Commissioner Dong
lass by members of his family here show that
he was in Halifax, N. s.. Sunday. His inten-
ton was to return to Washington by way of
Boston, and he is expected home at the end of
this week or the beginning Of next. The re-
port that Mr.. Douglass had resigned or would
resign his Office as District Commissioner in
order to accept the appointment to the vacancy
created on the bench of the Court of Claims by
Judge Scoield's death is regarded by those
who know Mr.. Douglass well as based merely
on conjecture. Judge Scofeld died Sunday and
Mr. Douglass was then in Halifax.
Mr.. II. B. F. mcfarland, Mr.. Douglass SON.
in-law, told STAR reporter today that he was
sure Mr.. Douglass had not thought OF resign
ing his Office of District Commissioner.
Mr. Douglass, he said, had for years been en-
gagged In practice before the Court of Claims;
he had been president of the Federal Bar Asso-
clation, composed chiefly of lawyers practicing
before that court, and was familiar with the
business Of the court, so that an appointment
70 that bench would be especially agreeable to
nim, but he was in no sense an active candi-
date: As Judge Scohelds death did not occur
until SUNDAY there was no vacancy on the
bench when Mr.. Douglass left Washington.
As life position on the Court of Claims
Dench would have SO many attractions to a
lawyer who, like Mr.. Douglass, had had much
practice in that.court, Mr.. mcfarland thoughtit
perfectly safe to say that if the place were
resign the District Commissionership to accept
IT, but aside from that conditional statement
ne did not think there was any ground for a
report that Mr.. Douglass intended resigning.
Mr. Douglass. It is stated, took the sea trip
for Halifax to get rest, which he very much
needed, and departed rather hastily upon dis
covering that unless he took certain steamer
he would have to wait two weeks for another.

Secretary Foster yesterday telegraphed the
collector of customs at New York to place the
revenue steamer Grant at the disposal Of Mrs.
Harrison in case she desires to use 1t for the
purpose Of meeting the steamship Majestic on
which her daughter, Mrs. Mckee, and Mrs.
Russell Harrison are passengers, and expedit-
ing thdfr landing in New York. Mr.. Russell
Harrison, the Presidents son, applied to the
collector Monday for permission to use the
Grant for this purpose and the collector re-
fused to grant 1t unless SO instructed by the
Secretary OF the Treasury. He referred Mr..
Harrison's request to the Secretary and the
latter declined to grant it Secretary Foster
explained his former action by saying that he
thought yonng Mr.. Harrison wanted the rev.
enue vessel merely for his own convenience
and that ii was not until he read the news
papers that he knew that the vessel was wanted
Tor the transportation Of Mrs. Harrison and
her family.
