MARINE DISASTER.



SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.-The bark
Tamerlanc, which was wrecked off the
rocks of Puma at 1880 On the morning OF
February 18th, cleared from San Fran
cisco January 18th with crew of thirty
eight. The voyage down was satisfac-
tory, but it appears the vessel lost her
reckoning, the officers thinking her at the
time of the wreck to be near Kalakckua
bay, almost two degrees to the west
ward. No breakers were sighted when
the vessel struck, by the watch on deck,
and the sudden shock threw the crew
into great confusion. Only two small
boats were available, and one of them.
when lowered, tloated away before it Sc
cured an occupant. Capt. Howard, the
first mate of the boat the carpenter and
cook and two Others entered the second
boat, but the ship was rolling heavily,
and she was stove in and the waves
rolled over her, and the occupants were
washed away. Those of the crew who
remained on the bark were picked off by
the waves one by one until the vessel
broke up. Eighteen men, including
Third Officer Pardec, managed to reach
the shore with the aid of a plank. The
others were ali drowned. The list of the
lost is as follows:

RESULT OF a ENT.
Tho French Cabinet Leave the Chamber
aud Resign.


PARIS, Feb. lS.-All the members OF
the french ministry have rendered their
designations to President Carnot. The
Cause of the resignation of the ministry
was the action of the chamber of depu-
ties in connection with the bill dealing
with associations. This afternoon M.
Hubbard demanded urgency for the bill
as a reply to the attitude of the French
bishops. NJ. De Cassagnac described
the bill as an iniquitous measure. Pre-
mier de Freycnet denied that the meas
ure was intended as an act OF persecu-
ton OF the church that it need be re-
garled as the precursor OF a separation
of church and state. He warmly com
mended the concilatory spirit Of the
pope who. he said often gave evidence
of sympathetic sentiments toward
France. He continued:
1--WE will doubtless be called upon
some day to treat with the Vatican or
religious questions. A portion of the
clergy may possibly refuse to enter upor
the path pointed out to them; but uni
vcrsal suffrage will judge between the
two parties
In conclusion. NJ. de Frcycinct gav,
his assent to the demand for urgency
though he said that he would not Civ,
the measure the significance Hubbard
desired.
An exciting discussion ensued on Hub
tard's motion. Finally DE Freycine
again rose and demanded the order o
the day be moved, indicating the views
Of the chamber on the subject In az
cordancc with the prcmier's demand, VI
iossrrin moved that the government b,
requested to continue its republican pol

tion. and intjmated that he considered IL

Immediately left the house in IA body

These were the words of Senator Pal

his arraignment of the upper house of
congress as non popular body was in
language not often heard by the ven

have been used in the maiden speech of
the new senator Was in keeping with the

fought his way to his seat in the upner
house by the advocacy of the princi lies
of popular election Of senators, and in
deed, to some degree, as an opponent Of
some Of the restrictions involved in ''ecn-

not feel constrained TO observ" with rev

A New Factor to be Employed Against

WASHINGTON, Feb 18.-The Grand
Army of the Republic has not infre-
qucntly been accused of being used to
subserve partisan ends, but today the
grave charge Of seeking to divide the
party against itself was preferred against
this great organization in the house.
Bland, the free coinage leader Of Mis-
souri,, was the accuser, and Harter, the
free trader and anti free coinage demo
crat of Ohio, was the gentleman charged
with attempting to subvcrt the G. A. IL.
to the interest of the capitalists and
mCnopolists. During the course of a.
eral debate on tho Indian approp iatlon
bill, Bland sent to the clerks desk and
had read circular letter written by
IIarter of Chic to the various grand
army posts in denunclatiOn Of the free
silver bin, and advising members of the
posts to urge their congressman to vote
against it. as it would prove detrimental
to the interests Of the pensioners. This
circular Bland characterized as bull
doing document. 1t was an effort to
intimidate members. aud was a part of
tho bulldozlng tactics of millionalrcs.
tactics which had always been carried on
in opposition to measures which would
give free silver to the country. lie de
nounced it AS unfair and unbecOning
the dignity of member.
Harter admitted the authorship OF the
circular letter and defended it. The
