SUNK IN STILL WATER.
Fate Of tho Steamer West Indian
Charges Against Captain Scott.

Charges Against Captain Scott.
sSAN FRANCISCO, April 5. = George
Mooney, one of the fremen of the ill.
fated steamer West Indian, arrived on
the steamer San Juan today. He says
that the West Indian was not wrecked
by tidal wave or earthquake, but was
sunk by striking a rock while being
moved closer in shore at Acajuatla. The
vessel was lying 80 far out that great
difficulty was ex perienced in loading her,
and Captain Scott was requested to move
the ship closer IN to the iron
pier. The steamer got under way about
o'clock in the morning and struck on
the rect before she had gone 100 yards.
The sea was perfectly smooth at the
time and the crew had no difficulty in
reaching shore. After the vessel struck
Captain Scott put all hands to work and
managed to save nearly 1000 bags of
coffee, but nearly all of it was spoiled
with salt water. The steamer soon
after slid off the reef, and now lies in
deep water.
Mooney says Scott is one of the worst
men he ever sailed for. No sooner had
the West Indian left San Francisco
than he began abusing the crew, and
the story published in the newspapers
on March 23d is true in every respect.
The boatswain and a stowaway were
beaten by the captain and mate fre-
quently. Passengers interfered, but the
answer they got was: mind your own
business; I am running this ship"
When the steamer reached San Jose de
Guatemala seven of the sailors and three
of the firemen were in double irons.
The captain charged them with
mutiny. The British consul in
vestigated the case and at once
ordered the men released, and they
were paid off next day. The consul told
the crew that if they preferred to stay
by the vessel he would take Captain
Scott out of the vessel and place another
man in charge, but the men preferred
to leave her. Captain Scott paid all the
expenses of the investigation and gave
Ballantine 500 rather than go to trial.

prepared to do anything of the sort.
Although he (Lowther) had the same
opinion as Gladstone on this subject, the
government did not desire to give such
an abrupt statement of it's views.
The government, Mr.. Lowther added,
had shown itself not to be adverse to
referring to arbitration several disputes
that had arisen with foreign countries,
but there are questions such as those
involving territorial and other sovereign
rights, that the government could not
pledge itself before hand to submit to
arbitration

SAN Francisco. April 5.-The steamer

LITTLE RHODY VOTES TODAY.
The Democrats Confident OF Electinf
Their State Ticket.

AhoIE oUat0 1lckots
PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 5.-Tonight
the last effort was made to talk the
voters of Rhode Island to the beauties
OF either tariff reform or protection.
Regarding tomorrow's election the po-
lltical prophets are somewhat at sea as
to the result. The most reliable Re-
publican claim, coming from workers
who are conversant with the details OF
affairs, is that there will be no cleo
tion for state tickets. The Democrats
will have slight plurality upon some
OF the nominees, and the legislature
will be solidly Republican in both
branches. The Democrats advance no
claim beyond saying they will elect the
state ticket, but they appear very conf
dent. The new elements entering into
the present contest are 80 diversified
that calculations based upon precedent
are not regarded with much faith by the
leaders OF either party.

WATERBURY. CONN.
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

We hope that the democrats will come out strong this afternoon and evening in every ward of the town and thus secure an intelligent and har- monious expression of sentiment in re- gard to the wishes of the party in Wa terbury. And in the larger interests in volved in the state and congressional nominations the interests of the city, town and school districts should not wholly be lost sight of. These local in terests are nearer to us than any other, and on the wisdom of choice shown in the premises will depend largely the efficiency of our municipal government. It behooves all democrats to go to the primaries this afternoon and evening and record their preference for the choice of ward delegates to the conven- tions.

TIE navy department may find itself the centre of a great scandal if it does not satisfactorily explain why the style of steel armor plates now being fur nished by the Bethlehem iron works and the Carnegie concern, was changed in a way to save the contractors several hundred thousand dollars, without a corresponding reduction being made in the price paid the contractors. It is charged that the change was made at Carnegies request, and experts say that it largely deteriorates the defensive quality of the armor. The acting secre- tary of the navy attempt to explain it by saying that the style of armor called for by the original specification was not made in this country. That fact was very well known when the con- tracts were made, but the contractors agreed to put in plants to make it. This they have not done. A better explanation will have to be given CT congress will have to investigate. It is probable that a considerable portion of the illegal profits of this change has already found it's way into the treasury of the national republican committee.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-08-26

TIE republicans are raising the cry of mo money" with which Senator Quay tried unsuccessfully to bamboozle the democrats in 1888. The dodge did not work then and it will not work now. Every intelligent man, whatever his political opinions, knows that the repub- lican party can always raise a big cor ruption fund among the protected man ufacturers, who know only too well that the enormous profits which such legisla- tion as the Mckinley tariff law enables them to pocket at the expense of the people are entirely dependent upon the success of the republican party. Sena- tor Quay started the cry of mo money" hoping thereby to detract pubic atten- tion from the corrupt use of money by
 the republican national committee of
 which he was then chairman, and Mir
 Harrison's lackeys, who are this year running that committee, have started it again for the same purpose. Let the fact be not lost sight of by any democrat
 that if money lavishly spent will carry
 the country the republicans will always win, as that party has always legislatcd in the interest of tho moneycd men and corporations of the United States.

ARRITRAToRs ADJOURN.
Investigation of the Strike to Continue
 in New York.

or the bu
 in New York.
 BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 26.-The in- vestigation of the State Board of Arbitra tiOn and Mediation into the Buffalo strike was concluded here last evening, and adjourned to meet in New York, where Vice President Webb, of the Cen tral, and other officials can be examined. At the morning session, Grand Master Sweeney was on the stand
 He told the story of his connection with the strike very much as it has been told in interviews with him. He said he was powerleSs to order strikes and that he did all in his power to avert the trouble so long as he saw there was any poSSibil- ity of adjustment.
 Concerning the rioting, fires and vio- lence he said he had made an investiga- tion and could not find that any mem bers of the switchmen's organization had in any way anything to do with the acts of lawlessness.
 In the afte rnoon Supt Brunn of the Erie and Supt. Fennell of the Lehigh gave their testimony. The Hon. k. $. Spraguc for the Erie and Attorney Brun- dage for the Lehigh were present, but MT. Sweeney and the switchmen were ab- sent. Mr. Brunn said the committees had called upon the officials of the road and DItSCIilCll US s2i ItH etilNi Dul the company did not feel that it could ac- cede to the demands, and the next hc learned was that a general strike was on, and that cars were being wrecked and burned.
 He stated that the switchmen asked fla the adoption of the 10-hour basis, which practically amounted to an increase of 1( per cent. on their wages. He explained that railroad day was 24 hours in which to handle the roads business, and thai the roads which have adopted the 1O-houl basis all work their men 12 hours and al low two hours for meals.
 Mir. Fennell's testimony was on tho saue line as that of Mir. Brunn. He sait the cars which were burned were serv iccable cars, and not old and useless, a the strikers claimed; that the road did no store old cars there and that several o the cars burned were loaded. He sait his read never had any trouble with tn men, and that when the change to til houIly basis was made and it was dis covered by the company that it made slight reduction in the pay of the men | til mistake was rectiticd.
