TALKING WITH MIR. M'LAUGHLIN.
Kings County Assembiyiu-n Figuring on
Their Committee Work,

Their Committed Work.
Nearly all the Democratic Assemblymen
from Kings county conferred yesterday
with Hugh Mclaughlin at his headquarters in
WillouGhby street. BROOKLYN. Each Of them
understood that Speaker Sulzer would con-
suit the wishes Of the Kings county leaders
before making up his list Of committees. and
they were all anxious to let Mr.. Mclaughlin
know the places they desired and to secure his
influence. 1t was understood that a meeting
had also taken place between Mr.. Mclaughlin
and Speaker SulZer. and that there would be
no hitch over the Kings county mems assign
ment to committees and the amount Of putron-
age to go to the delegation.
There has been 10 change in the situation
OF the Senutorship. so far AS Kings county IL
concerned. Mr.. Mclaughlin. as well rs every
man on the delegation, has NJ doubt what
ever but Mr.. Murphy will he nominated. but,
for political reasons; either Congressman
ward rs the candidate OF the Kings county
delegation. just as soon as the ballot is an
noupced. a BROOKLYN Assem- hlyman. in accord
ance with Mr. MclauGhlin's directions. will
move to make Mr.. Murphy's nomination unan-
imous.
1t is a significant fact that since. Mr.. Cleve-
lands manifesto was issued Mr.. Mclaughlin
has taken occasion to say moro pleasant
previous to that event. and has given no en-
enlargement whatever to the representatives
Of tho anti-snRp brigade, who were relying on
the Kings county delegation to bolt the eau
lin has made which would. seem to indicate
any hostility whatever to Mr.. Murphy's can

HAMBURG. Jan. 5.--Upon the arrival here to-
day OF the Hamburg american line steamer
Bohemia interviews were had with several
persons In regard to her attempt to tow the
disabled Umbria, and to the report that tho
towing hawser had been cut on board tho Boz
hemia. Everybody on board the steamer en-
phatically denied that the hawser was cut.
They say that the weather was fairly calm
when the steel bawser and several other lines
from the Bohemia wero made fast on board
tho Umbria. Tho Bohemia then forged ahead
with the Cunard liner in tow. but in the
evening n violent storm set In. Both vessels
pitched heavily. and tho strain uron tho tow
ing. lines was tremendous. At 10 o'clock at
the sinrboard. line aud the port hnwser parted.
Many feet of the hawscr were left trailing
astern when. the break occurred. and this fact
eIcctually disproves the statement that the
hHwSer was cut on board the Bohemia.
hen the lines parted the bohemia stopped
and slgnailcd repeatedly to- the Unihrin. but
no answer was received. When daylight broke
the sea was closely scanned Tor the U,lnbria.
therefore,. proceeded on her voyage. The crew
OF the Bohemia knew that IL they succeeded In
taking the umhria into Halifax they would re-
ceive u share Of he salvage money. and they
lines broke they We're greatly disappointed. as
their hone ~ reward Disappeared.
According TO those interviewed. the com
mander OF the Bohemia would have been only
a Il hal his lines not broken lie would certainly
have done SO.
