A United States Ship Run Into by an
i1te Unknown Steamer.
NEW York, March 19.--Just before
dawn this morning the United States
reoetvlng ehtP vosment, lying OF God
dock, at the Brooklyn navy yard, was
run Into by an unknown steamer ocean,
bound. The Vermont at this writing is
full of water, and it is feared shewill
sink. The crash tore hole twelve feet
square in her bow. The colliding
steamer rebounded, again crashing
into the Vermont, and tore her
side along the water-mark, rip
ping her open. There was lively
panic on board. The sailors wero
sent spinning from their hammocks,
and the officers from their hunks. No
body was injured, but much of the in
terror furniture was damaged. The
unknown steamer veered around and
made with all possible speed for the
lower bay. AS soon as the Vermont's
officers got their senses together the first
launchsat hand was started out in pur-
suit, with sailors armed for duty. The
steamer had start of twenty minutes,
and up to the time of writing nothing
had been heard either OF her or of the
launch. When the collision occurred
the steamer was hailed by the sailors of
the Vermont, but the crew of the vessel
refused to disclose her name.

an Office in this city some time ago, and

lost and twenty-five families made home
less by fire tonight, which Quilted six
story double tenement at215 East Twen-

Cryan, aged SO, and his sister, Mary
Cryan, aged 55.
Fright and confusion prevailed among
the tenants in the house who ran
blindly hither and thither in their
efforts to escape. The fire was extin-
guished about p. M, and the firemen
began to search the rooms in the burned
building, and on the top floor found the
two bodies.. Death was caused by suffo-
cation. From the agonized expression
on both faces, it was evident that their
death was attended with the greatest
torture. Mrs. Mary Reilly in trying to
get out, had her limbs slightly burned,
and was driven back. She was taken

The Weaverville-R Redding Stage Robbed
Twice In Two Weeks.

Twice In Two Weeks.
REDDING, CAL, March 19.-The
Weaverville and Redding stage was
robbed again this evening, about mile
and a half from Redding, some twenty
yards this side of where the stage was
robbed week ago Saturday night. The
robbery is presumed to have been COM
mitted by the same man. The robber
stepped out from behind a tree, dis
guised with barley sack over his head.
Pointing pistol at the driver, Ed
Bracket, he ordered him to throw out
the box. Brackett threw out the Shasta
Wells, Fargo & Co. box. The robber
then told him to throw out the other
box, and the Weaverville box was
thrown out. A lady passenger on the
seat with the driver, and male pas
senger inside, were not disturbed. No
messenger was aboard, and the treasure
was light. Ed Graham, the driver who
was shot in the other robbery, is getting
well.

$1,000. This be managed /, to do,
A~d although recaiv;ug ~ of
punishment, was almost as fresh as
his burly opponent at the finish. It is
only fair to McAuliffe, however, to state
that he broke the first knuckle OF his
left hand in the fourth round, and was
incapacitated from hitting the Quaker
city man as hard as he might otherwise
have done. McAuliffe weighed 2lO
pounds, and DAILY 162s Two ounce

STOCKTON, CAL, March 19.-The police
this evening stopped bloody "scien-
ti6c" boxing exhibition in the Aurora
club rooms, in the northern part of the
city, and took the names of many per-
sons there. The contestants were boys,
and they fought hammer and tongs,
bringing blood so that it colored their
stripped bodies. Then the police rushed
in and stopped the fight, but made no
arrests. The club managers had re-
ceived notice early in the evening that
their exhibition would not be allowed,
but the crowd wanted sport. The matter
will be laid before the district attorney
tomorrow.

Providence, Rhode Island, banta m
weights, fought for nearly two hours

side bet of 500. The struggle was a
fierce one throughout. The Rhode Is
land man had the best of it from the
start, and was declared the winner at
the end of the etwenty-sixth round. From
the twentieth to the twenty-sixth,
Flaherty hit his opponent. at will, and
in one round knocked him down four
times: Billy Myers was one of the sec
onds for Pope.

SACRAMENTO, March 19.-George Null
holland, of Australia, and Billy Nor
risey, of Sacramento, very evenly
matched light weights, fought twenty
rounds at the Clunie opera house tonight.
They fought bitterly and desperately for
nineteen rounds, and Mulholland seemed
to have everything his own way, but in
the twentieth round, the Australian
suddenly gave up the fight and left the
ring. He said he was going to Australia
in the morning and was not going to
fight all night. All through the fight
Morrisey repeatedly punched the Aus
tralian over the heart, and this probably
caused him to weaken 80 suddenly.

that it was largely that too much war at
tempted. Our present system of taxation
has been in existence great many years
and people have got accustomed to it. A
system that has age and usage behind it is
not easily broken down even though it be
a bad system. This is conspicuously true of
a system of taxation. The people have
come to learn how it works and what re-
suits it produces, and though they may
feel that it is not perfect either in its work
ings or In Its results they dread the uncer
tainty of cha. &c and oftentimes prefer
to bear the ills they have lest change may
produce greater ones. Sweeping tax reform
measures have been undertaken in great
many states. but scarcely without excep-
ton their fate has been the same as it was
in Maine last year. To be done at all the
work has got to be done gradually and eau
tiously. There is no system which has yet
been devised that works perfectly or pro-
duces in practice the results which the
theorist aims after. This is not saying
that our tax system cannot be improved, or
that no effort should be made In that direc-

Our Halifax brethren are, perhaps not
unnaturally, somewhat indignant because
the Allan steamers sail by their port and
come TO Portland. But there does not
seem to be any sense in railing at
Portland. All that Portland has been
guilty of is of having a fine harbor
and of being well situated as dis
trlbuting point for the Csnadas. Portland
has done no plotting against tho aaligo-
niane and has ffered no inducements ex-
cept those of her harbor and location for
the Allans to make this their winter port.
We like to have the Allans come here, and
we are rather proud of our natural advan-
tages, as we have reason to be. Ii they
excite the envy Of our Halifax brethren,
we are sorry for them, but We do not see
how we can helpit.

The Conservative ministry of Great Brit
ain has just sent to Paris to succeed Earl
L,tton as ambassador the Marquis of Dut-
fern. formerly Governor. General of Cana
da and ViceIoy of India, who is a member
of the Liberal party. The Marquis has
been selected because he is altogether the
fittest man for the place. As the New
York Times suggests, there is In this
lesson which parties in this country can
learn with profit. On the advent of an
administration of different politics in this
country, all our Diplomatic representatives
are changed, no matter how eff ;ient they
have been or how peculiarly fitted for their
positions. Politics demands it. While per.
haps as general rule this is not objection
able, inasmUch as foreign representative
has oftentimes to represent the distinctive
policy of the party in power and therefore
should be in accord with it, there are cases
where the representative is SO peculiarly
fitTed for his position that the weight of
argument is against change In such
cases politics ought to be ignored and the
representative retained. A certain amount
of permanency would much improve our
diplomatic representation abroad and add
to our prestige and standing among other
nations. Diplomacy is an art and to gain
skill in it experiences is necessary.

Judge Barnard, o. the New York Su-
preme court has nipped one Of Gov. Hilps
seat stealing schemes In the bud. In one
OF the townships in Duchess county there
were some ballots In the box which bore
what the Democrats claimed to be dis
tinguishing mark. When the canvassing
board counted the votes they threw out
these ballots, which were all for the R.
publican candidate for Senator, and thus
defeated him. The Republicans appealed
to the court for mandamus TO compel the
counting of these ballots, and after full
hearing Judge Barnard has ordered them
to be counted, He says the alleged di,-
tinguishiDg mark is nothing but an ink
stain. and that to throw out the ballots on
account of it would clearly be an injustice.
Such thing he holds was never cuntem-
plated by the law. The result of his de-
cision is to elect the Republican candidate,
but as the latter has died since election an
other election must be held It is only fair
to say that in this contest and In all the
others of a like nature so far the New York
judiciary have maniully stood by justice
and equity, and have manifested not the
least inclination to wohble for the benefit
of Gov. Hin or anybody else.
