TBE CITY OF NBT YORK,
Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
Pany'S Line,
ISHARD AND FAST ON THE ROCKS
Just Outside Of the Harbor Of San
Francisco-The Vessel Missed
Her Course in a Dense Fog-She
is a Complete Wreck-Loss Half
q Million, With No Insurance.
No Lives Lost.

SAN Francisco, October 26.-The
Pacific Mail Company's steamer City OF
New York went ashore this evening in
fog, and will probably be total loss
She sailed for Japan at $3.50 p. M,
and went down the bay under full head
OF steam.
The fog was very heavy, and from the
lower wharfs nothing could be seen.
About 4:3O p. m, the big ocean
steamer was lost sight Of and half an
hour later the booming OF cannon could
be heard and signal rockets could be
seen as they burst above the fog.
The signal station at Point LoboS at
once sent message into town and soon
every tug In the bay was racing Tor
Point Bonita.
Arriving there it was found that the
steamer was hard and fast on the
rocks, having gone on them under q
full head Of steam.
As soon as the ship struck there was
a scene of wild confusion.
A couple hundred Chinese in the
steerage set up a howl that could be
heard half across the Golden Gate.
Captain johnson was wonderfully
cool. however, and he and his officers
soon restored order.
When the signal lights began to flash
the observer at Point Lobos came TO the
conclusion that 1t was the steamer
Monowai that had gone onto the rocks,
and that news was circulated all over
the city.
Those who were expecting relatives
on that steamer from Sydney, Auck-
land, Samoe and Hawaii at once fiocked
to the offices of the Oriental and Occi-
dental line.
All they could be told was that a
steamer had been on Point Bonita, but
whether it was the Monowal or some
other craft no one could tell.
Half. an hour later the wrecked ves-
sci was made out to be the City OF New
York.
It is now reported that the steamer IS
hard and fast on the rocks.
There Is eight feet Of water In her
hold, and the tugs cannot move her.
The loss will be half million. No
insurance.
All the passengers have been taken
off aud are being brought back to this
city.
The fog is almost thick enough to cut
with a knife. There is very little wind.
Tugs will be around all night.
A reporter has just come in from the
wreck and reports that she is lying on
her side and that there are three or four
big holes in her bottom. The vessel
will be total loss.
The City of New York was built In
Chester, Pa, ia 1875, but was practically
rebuilt a few years ago. She was 339
feet long, 40 feet inches beam and 20
feet inches depth.
The New York's merchandise cargo
was valued at Sl3O,OO0, and she carried
one hundred and ninety thousand dol
lars OF treasure. There were only a
few passengers.

THIN NEE TARIFF BILL
A Draught Of It Submitted to PreSi-
dent Cleveland.
A FEW OF THE BILL'SPROVISIONS
The Wool Schedule Will be Prac-
tically the Springer Bill of Last
Congress-Glass and Iron VIII
be Cut to the Revenue Point
An Increase in the Whisky
Tax.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October ca
1t is understood that rough draft Of
the proposed tariff bill is now in the
hands Of President Cleveland aud Sec
retsry Carlisle for their perusal.
What has been done on the tariff
bill is subject 10 change, bur II Is
thought that all those things which
have been definitely decided upon by
the subcommittee will stand through
the hnal revision Of the bill.
Some OF the features OF the bill are
radical The wooden schedule Is the
Springer free wool bill, which passed
the House last Congress, incorporated
into the bill practically without change.
There is to be radical cut made In
the glass sch edule. There will be q
considerable enlargement Of the free
list by addition OF raw materials and
heavy cut In all duties which are not
properly revenue duties.
The idea OF tariff for revenue only is
adhered tU quite closely, bat this appll'
cation may not be made TO coal. Iron
ore goes on the free list, and thore ls a
very considerable shaving down OF the
entire iron and steel schedule.
The tax on whisky will be Increased
not Aboye twenty cents, but the exact
amount OF the increase Is not decided.
An increase In the beer tax Is practical
ly decided on.
The subcommittee have not quite
made up their own minds on the sugar
question, but they are practically deter
mined not to try to get any revenue out
Of sugar.
The purpose is to classify refined and
unrefned sugar closer together, but
this Is apt to be done by reducing duty
on refined sugar rather than by put
ting any duty on the unrehned.
The bounty will 20. Either an In
come tax or an inheritance tax will be
provided for to increase the revenues.

Eeonomy the DO o. the Day.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 26.-Mr.
ssyres, OF Texas, chairman Of the
House Committee on Appropriations,
says that be presumes that he will earn
the title of the meanest mau In Con-
gress because be intends TO Insist on
rigid economy in all expenditures.
Speaking more particularly Of the plans
he proposes 90 pursue, he SAYS shat be
will not insist on cuts 10 appropriations
where the expenditures are necessary.
In the light house service, life savings
and in expenditures for the public good
he says the appropriations should be
ample and are actually necessary, but
fu expenditures where there Is a pOSSi-
blity Of saving he intends TO apply the
knife. IL Congress accepts the rec.
concentrations in the report Of the
Dockery commission for expenditures In
she departments there will be saved TO
the government in the legislative, judi
cial and executive appropriation bin at
least $4,000, OOO He further says that
the House Committee on Appropriations
intend 10 mako ike savings on all large
bills. While be did not say so, 10 is
quite probable that appropriations for
river and harbor Improvement under
the contract system will. be cut, as will
also appropriations FOR public buildings.
These appropriations are carried in the
supdry civil bill. Mr.. Savers says that
with a deficit staring them Ia the face
they must ecOuomize az every possible
point, although be wants it understood
that there will be nothing done 70
cripple the legitimate branches Of the

A BAD RAILROAD WRECK.
Car Loads of Coal and Petroleum Set On
Fire by the Wrecked EnKiae.


HAMBURG, MICH, October 26.-About
7 o'clock last night the Toledo, Aun
Arbor and North Michigan north bound
freight train, with extra engine, ran
into q sink hole about three miles north
of here. The engine left the track,
and Is laying on her side In
the ditch aud is total wreck.
Behind the engine were two tank cars
OF oil and three cars Of coal which were
wrecked and piled onto the engine. The
oil and coal caught fire from the engine,
making q fire which can be seen for hve
miles around. On the engine were En-
gineer Beaulon, Fireman Albsrs and
Head Brakeman Mulligan, who were
buried In the debris. The FIRE will not
be out for several hours yet. The
wreck was probably caused by the track
going down, as the track is several feet
below the level at the point where the
engine left the track.
The body OF Brakeman Milligan has
been recovered and was taken TO his
home In Howell, Mich. He was single
man. Nothing remained Of the bodies
OF the two other unfortunate tralnmen,
who lived at Owosso, Mich. Engineer
Beauien leaves a widow and two chill
dren, and Fireman Albers widow and
one child. The coroner's inquest will
be held at once, and every effort will be
made TO fix the blame, II any, for what
IL probably the worst disaster In the
history Of the Ann Arbor road.

solution of the Cabinet Imminent.
LONDON, October 26.-A dispatch
from Vienna says that the Military bill
new before the Reichsrath provides for
the extension Of the service Of the land
wehr to two years and in the case OF
non.combatants To three years. The
military equilibrium will thus be re-
stored TO the Russian frontier. The
bill will be used as weapon against
Count Won Taaffe and his cabinet, who
are anxious that the bill shall paSs be-
fore there IS a dissolution OF the House.
sThe Cabinet council was followed by
rumors that the whole cabinet had de-
cided to resign. The correspondent
says he believes that before tine dissolu-
tion Count Won Taaffo will offer to the
Emperor the resignation Of the whole
cabinet, which perhaps will lead TO the
reconstruction of the military under
Count Taaffe.
