want to wait for what the senate may do,
and claim that Staub should be officially
declared elected. don't see what doubt
there can be about the election of Mr.. Nor
ris and why these are not SO declared
elected. For these reasons I think that
the minority report should be accepted.
Mr.. Judson, rep, of Stratford, then
arose and referred to leading points Of the
committees report, regarding which he
said that the report shows, as far as the
evidences go, the election of Mr.. Staub,
and does go to the fullest extent. Now
that this, committee has done it's duty I
say that as to the result of our labors the
governor and treasurer were not elected by
the people of this state, and would be SO
willing to declare. But as for lieutenant
governor and secretary of state we are not
quite certain and desire to more fully con-
slider the question of the double ballots.

Mr.. Root of Waterbury, in speech of
length, censured the majority report as
imperfect and undecisive He called it an
apology for report, and only child's play.
The majority did not go behind the re-
turns as they should. What is the house
to do in the easel We must do what is
right and constitutional, but what are we
to do? The. constitution shows clearly our
duty is for the legislature on the first day
to examine the returns, and if no election
to proceed on the second day to elect state
officers. I believe everyone meant just
what they said, and they meant twenty
four hours when they said first day.
If there is no appeal for these moder-
ators their reports must stand. Mr.. Root
then quoted from speech made by Hon.
b. B. Harrison, made at Woodstock, July
4, 1888, in which the speaker said it was
set forth that Woodstock, as well as the
other towns, were bitter republicans by
themselves, having final power regarding
their election returns.
It is cur duty to abide by the constitu-
ton, and I think the senate has clearly
done its duty. I don't think any fraud
was committed at the last election, and if
the returns are fair we should take those
returns and examine them and declare
upon them. There is no claim that they
were not the returns. Take for instance
the Norwich error.

large section of the wharf at the grain ware
house went down with crash Yesterday morn
ing under the weight of a ton of ballast which
was dumped on it, combined with that of fifteen
tons of ballast which had been already piled
upon it.
The wharf extends about forty feet on each
side of the steam carrier which runs across il
from the warehouse to the outer edge where the
ships are loaded. The ballast, consisting OF wet
sand and gravel with a small admixture OF
rock, was being unloaded from the ship Godiya
by means OF 8 tub which was swung over the
ships side till it oyerhung the wharf and then
overturned, its contents falling from some little
height 20 the wharf on the north side OF the
steam carrier. About fifteen tons OF ballast had
been discharged in this way and dumped on the
north half of the wharf, when at 1l:15 o'clock In
the morning the tub containing ton of ballast
swung clear over the wharf About ten
men, who were shoveling the sand over
among the piles, had stood aside out
OF the way and the load came down with the
weight of steam hammer on the middle OF the
wharf. With crash the structure collapsed,
the supporting piles having snapped on under
the weight Fortunately none of the men were
hurt and their excitement was only momentary.
The support of the wharf had given way
fairly In the middle and the planking was
borne down until its broken ends sank in the
water, which is forty feet deep at that point,
and the pile OF ballast disappeared through the
hole thus made The piles on the outer edge of
the wharf stood firm, holding up the ends OF
the planking, the break being fairly in the
middle. A number of boards were knocked out
of the floor under the carrier, which has
shed roof, and one of the piles was knocked
from under it, carrying with it the cross beam,
and leaving to dangle in the air a post which
supported the frame work in which the carrier
runs. One of the heavy beams in the roof of
the carrier was also split
This accident will suspend the loading of the
Godiva for one two days-that is, until the
carrier can be repaired. for TO run it at present
would shake the whole framework 70 pieces;
but the south end OF the wharf can be used, so
that there need be no delay from that cause.
So far the Godiva has loaded about 600 tons of
wheat and was expected to complete her cargo
of $500 tons by Saturday.
F. A. Allen, manager of the elevator, could
not be found yesterday to give estimate of
the damages The cause is doubtless the raw

TWO NEW COASTERS.


Mr.. T. A. Harvey, hardware dealer from
Saginaw. Mich, is at the Rainier hotel, having
come to the Northwest to look after some of his
business affairs 81 am interested" said he
yesterday, sin two large freight steamers which
will soon go into the carrying trade on the Pa
cifc coast-the Mackinaw and the Keenewaw.
They were built on the lakes, have passed
through the Weliand canal into the Atlantic,
and having loaded freight at New York must be
nearly at San Francisco by this time.
"You see we have reduced the building of
freight vessels to a science on the great lakes /
believe that we can construct there steel freight
steamers better than those of the Atlantic or
the Pacific coast that is, our lake
steamers are so made that they viii carry the
greatest amount of freight at the lowest cost.
Acting on this belief, our company has sent two
OF them to this Coast. They are 200 feet long
and the locks o. the Welland canal around
Niagara Falls are only 1S5 feet long. So we
took the first steamer to Buffalo and cut it in
two there. When the pieces reached Montreal
they were fastened together again. The second
steamer was built in two sections The stern
was launched first and the forward part about
twenty minutes later. The two sections went
through the canal and down the St Lawrence
without any difficulty, were spliced so to speak,
and then We had the whole vessel

The Godiva's Rough Passage-Storms
All Across the Pacific.
The British iron ship Godiva, which is loading
wheat at the grain warehouse, is one of the
largest and finest sailing vessels aflost, and can
carry q cargo of $500 tons. By the time she re-
turns to the United Kingdom she will have been
away about two years. her voyage having already
lasted nineteen months from the time when she
lett Liverpool. From that point she went to
Calcutta, from Calcutta to Philadelphia, thence
around the Cape of Good Hope to Hiogo and
thence to Seattle. She will take her cargo of
about 200 tons of wheat from here to Havre or
Dunkirk and thence return to her home port in
England.
First Mate Towhey, in an interview with q
PosT-ISTELLIGENCERr reporter yesterday, said:
While we were crossing the Indian ocean on
July 80 a gale began blowing about o'clock in
the evening and about O'clock it became a
whole gale with terrific squalls, the sky being
overcast and gloomy and the sea rising About
2:ou IN the morning heavy sea broke over the
starboard quarter aud carried ali before it. 1t
smashed the skylight and chart house. filling
the cabin with water, smashed the wheel box to
atoms, washed overheard the signals and chest,
tore away the two after binnacles which, how
ever, were saved though damaged; tore the gig
from her fastenings aud stove her in, broke the
rails of the bridge, tore away the standard bin
naeie, which was saved with all the compasses,
though much damaged. and broke the main
deck yentilator. At Ii O'Clock in the morning
another sea stove in the starboard forward life
boat.
We went through Ballantyne channel, be-
tween the islands of Luzon and Formosa, into
the China sea and then steered southwark TO
avoid the typhoon, which drove the American
ship W. ]. Rotch on the coast OF Formosa We
had a typhoon the day we got to Hiogo, but ar
rived there all right, a week ahead of the Rotch,
which had sailed from Philadelphia two weeks
ahead of US. We made the quickest passage of
the season from Philadelphia to Hiogo, lbs days.
ON the way across the Pacific from Hiogo to
Seattle we had terrific gales one after another,
