STEAMBOATS, COLLIDE.
The Mount Hope and Queen City
Meet off Ohio Ledge.
ONLY ONE MAN WAS INJURED.
Tho Queen City Was Badly SIM ashed- The
Mate Of the Queen City Had His Ankle
sprained-The Passengers Transfers red
10 the Mount Hope.

The steamers Queen City Of the Saxon
net and Tiverton line and Mount Hope Of
the Fall River line were In collision this
morning about 1850 o'clock OF the Ohio
ledge, which is nearly opposite Rocky
Point and near the entrance to the east
passage.
Adense fog overhung the bay at this
point. When the Queen City left PRovI-
DENCE this morning at Q o'clock on her
regular trip she carried thirty passengers.
The Mount Hope had on board nearly 700
excursionists from East Greenwish for
Crescent Park.
Feeling their way cautiouely through
the fog both captains kept sharp look
out, and when they sighted each other
the usual signals were promptly ex
changed but without effect. Realizing
that collision was unavoidable, bells
were runR to back the vessels at full speed
so as to lessen the shock.
The vessels came together with a heavy
crash, the Mount Hope striking the Queen
City head on ut the port bow, smashing
In all Of the bow above the water line for
ten feet, carrying away guards and rails
OF the Queen City, and leaving when she
reboupded Q number OF her own broken
guards on the deck OF the Queen City.
The passengers on both steamers were
badly frightened. But the GOODNESS and
presence OF mind of the oflcers averted a
serious panic.
Walter c. Gray, mate OF the Queen
Bity. leaped from the pro menade deck
forward TO the deck below in order to get
out q line and moor his vessel to the
Mount Hope and then transfer the pas
sengers, as the Mount Hope was not Sc
riously damaged.
The contact with the deck sprained his
ankle very severely. After the passen-
gers had been transferred, a large sail
was stuffed into the gaping hole In the
bow OF the Queen City, and the pumps
gained mastery over the inrushiug waters.
The steamer then headed for this city
at half speed, reaching the PROVIDENCE
dry dock at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon.
She will 20 on the dock tonight and re-
pairs will be rushed on her so as to avoid
serious Inconvenience to freight aud pas
senger traffic between PROVIDENCE, Tiver-
ton and Sakonnet.
The Mount Hope kept on her way to
Crescent Park where she landed her pas
sengers. The injured mate received
medical attention from DIR. Gardner OF
this city aud was placed aboard train
Tor Tfverton, where he resides.
Capt. Orswell Of the Mount Hope is
not blamed by Capt. Pettey Of the Queen
City. Capt, Pettey stated to News rep
resentative this afternoon that he thought
the collision was unavoidable.

CARDS Freight Transfer.

CARDS Freight Transfer.
Boston, July lathe decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the case
of the Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern and Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company VS.. The Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, is important as defining
the duties of common carriers relative to
the Interchange Of passenger and freight
traffic
The court holds that carrier is under
obligation to receive freight in the
cars in which il is tendered or to trans
port IL In such cars when its own cars
are unemployed unless the freight is of
such character as to be injured by
transfer, except where the car mileage
charges are waivered by the rendering
road.
The court also rules that the receiving
road is under no obligation to advance
bnlk freight charges TO connecting lines,
unless it elects to do so. A road can de-
mand prepay Of charges over its line
If il 80 wishes.
The decision as regards transfers is In
line with the customs of the Union Pa
cific. Council Bluffs, and of the Central
Pacific at Ogden, the latter refusing to
transport any cars over its roads unless
equipped with air brakes.

REED LEADS THE OPPOSITION.
The Republicans Stand squarely In Line
The Vote stood 15s 60 130-spesker
Crisp Voted with the Silver Men ss He
Did Before.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jnly l3-The reso-
luton from the committee on rules set
ting apart to-day aud tomorrow for the
consideration of the Stewart silver bill
with no cloture was beaten by vote Of
ayes l36, nays 154. Speaker Crisp voted
aye.
Ex:Speaker Reed took entire command
of the anti-silyer forces. burrows OF
Michigan joined Reed In opposition.
This means the defeat OF the silver bill
unless the committee on rules should re-
port another resolution for its considera-
tion, which is improbable.
Immediately after the opening of the
House mt noon to-day the committee on
rules brought in a resolution to give to-
day and tomorrow to the consideration
Of the Stewart Silver bill.
Ex-Speaker Reed rises on his feet in an
instant and moved that the report of the
rules committee be laid on the table. The
motion was vigorously opposed by. the
that the committee had the right to sub
NIT the report for discussion.
Mr.. Bland offered an amendment that
the question be considered as ordered at
2 o'clock tomorrow. He also offered an
amendment striking out that portion Of
the bill providing for the coiuage Of the
bullion now In the Treasury.
Mr.. Patterson spoke briefly, stating
that in his opinion the silver question
should be postponed until after the
November election. He URGED that il this
was done vote on the bill next winter
would be fair and wise.
Ex-Speaker Reed on being recognized
said that he was surprised that a single
member of the House had word OF
praise for the bill. He could not see how
any one could conscientiously speak Ia
its favor.
At Ills Mr.. Catchings demanded the
previous question, whereupon Tracey OF
New York called for the yeas aud NAYS.
The House then proceeded TO vote.
The result was victory for the antl-sil-
yer men, the House refusing. as above
stated, 154 to 1856. to consider the bill.

their arguments. Mr.. Littlefield, coun-
sci for the defense, based his side OF the
case almost entirely upon the theory of

jealousy.
The. Attorney General argued that it
was shown by the threats made at diff
trent times that the prisoner had enter
tained the idea OF hurting the woman if
she did not do as he said. for long time,
and that he was actuated by spirit OF
intense hatred and revenge, rather than a
blind passion, acquired in a minute.
The Attorney General finished at 1918
when the court took a recess until LIS,
before delivering the charge.
