PASSENGER STEAMER NYACK
Rumors That She Has Foundered or
Lake Erie.

CLEVELAND (O.), June ia. Nit was
rumored late last night that the passenger
steamer Nyack, which left Buffalo Satur
day night, had foundered on Lake Erie.
Up to late hour nothing had been heard
of her in this city. A private dispatch
from Buffalo stated that the Nyack would
stop at this point, but a customs-house
official says the vessel had not arrived I'D
to A. NJ. Monday, and he did not know
anything regarding her. A gale pre-
vailed on the lake yesterday, but whether
or not the Nyack was caught in it is not
known.
REPORT NOT VERIFIED.
BUFFALO, June ia. MA baseless
rumor was current in this city last night
that the passenger steamer Nyack, which
left here Saturday evening on her first
trip to the Worlds Fair, had foundered
in a gale. The rumor could be traced to
no authentic source, and no report has
been received at the docks here confirm
ing the rumor in any way. The slow
steamer Avon, which also left here on
Saturday night, returned yesterday and
reported that she turned back on
account of the gale; that the Nyack was
ahead of her when she turned about. The
report is not given credence. 1t is
thought likely that it sprang from the
fact of the gale, and that this was the
maiden trip of the Nyack. A large COM
pany of people are on board, including
many Butfaloniaus and many others from
Western New York.
THE STEAMER SAFE
BUFFALO, June If A. MA tele-
phone message just received from Erie.
Pa, says the steamer Nyack was driven
in there by gale at $40 o'clock yester-
day morning. All on board are safe and
well, and will proceed this morning at
daylight for Chicago.

Tom Moore in Nirrinia.

A correspondent who has been ram
bling through Eastern Virginia recalls
a description given him 10y an old lady
at Norfolk of Tom Moore, the poet.
who passed some time in his amorous
youth in a quaint old mansion near
Norfolk and found nothing there ex-
cept the ladies to please him. 81 was
asked to dinner in Richmond" said
the old lady. as she took a pinch of
snuff, and at the other END of the
table sat a little readheaded Irishman
named Moore. We d;h1't exactly
know how he got there. sor most of us
had never heard of him aud he didn't
quite look the gentleman. But after
a while he got to talking so comically
and delightfully."- that we roared with
laughing. Then in the drawing room
he went to the piano and sang some
of his own songs and we found out
that he was Tom Moore But he
didn't look in the least like a poet"

Hon. T. b. Reed gave trite expression
to an important truth when. in recently
speaking Of the United States Senate he
said ths, the trouble with that body at
present is that many Of It's members believe
they are ambassadors TO the Senate from
sovereign states. IL has been the insur-
tnourtsble obstacle to Democratic states
msnship that il has n.ver been able to
view this country as great power.
sal integral nation, but only as a
confederation of sovereign states. The
dosma Of state sovereignty has been mill
stone around the neck Of the party that has
never enabled il TO raise its head sufficiently
to take view Of the country in It's
entirety. This inability to look beyond
state lines has been responsible for most OF
the blunders tina. have been committed by
the Democratic party. 1t has also been the
reason for the lack Of patriotism that has
many times attended its action the allegi
to state apparently exhausting the supply of
loyalty. When the Democratic party re-
turned to power in the nation last March
after wandering for thirty years in the po-
liticsl wilderness, it took up the work of
taking away from the powers Of the nation
al government and adding to those of the
states with old-time gusto. 1t starts
in to repeal the Federal election
laws and TO revive the old era Of state banks
and wildcat currency. Doubtless as it adj
vances its allegiance to the old state SOW
sreignty dogmss, which, it was thought, had
forever been laid to rest by the results Of
the Civil War. will become more and more
apparent. The South is in the saddle and
is running Thugs with arrogant insoleace.
IL remains TO be seen how long the people
Of this great country will be patient under
