FAIRY QUEEN AT RocKLAND.
No Luck in Fishing. but Fortunate in the
Great Storms.
rspecial to the Press.l

Rockland, August 30.-Fishing schoon-
er Fairy Queen OF Portland, Captain
George w. Cushing, member of the
same fleet as the ill-fated Mary Lizzie.
and about which some apprehension ex-
listed, arrived safe in port today. She
had not been reported since the storm Of
the 21st. The vessel has been in the Bay
of Fundy and at Georges Banks sword
fishing. but had no luck and arrived here
light. She leaves again for the Banks to-
night. A member of the Fairy Queens
crew reports that yesterday was the
toughest day in this harbor of his expe-
rience. and he has sailed this coast for
thirty years.
About the worst experience reported
here resulting from yesterday s hurricane
was that which befell the Rockland lime
schooner Charley Woolsey, which ar
rived here today from White Head in
tow of the revenue cutter Woodbury..
The Charley Woolsey left this port lime
laden for New York the latter part Of
the week, She was about 20 miles off
Cape Cod Yesterday noon when the
storm came on in all its force, carrying
everything before it. The Woolsey's s
foresail and flying jib were rent in
shreads and a portion of the deck load
of lime went into the sea. The waves
began to run mountain high and it was
while in the trough of the sea that
water communicated itself to the lime,
setting it on fire in less time than it
takes to tell it. The mainsail caught
fire and in the midst of raging sea,
Captain CHM and his crew found them
selves in most perilous predicament.
They went bravely at their task, how
ever, and the flames were prevented
from gaining great headway. Captain
CHM was badly burned as were the
members of the crew, one of whom was
nearly carried overheard by the rapidly
moving casks of lime. When the burn
ing lime was all removed, over two hun
dred casks had been sacrificed to the
waves. Sail was made for Rockland but
when White Head was reached the
Woolsey was taken in tow by the revenue

Especial TO The PreSS.
Washington, August 3O-The event of
the day was thesspeech delivered by
Senator sherman of Ohio in
favor of the. repeal of the purchase clause
of the law which is generally called by
his name. While Senator Sherman took
advanced grounds in favor of immediate
and unconditional repeal of the law, he
also took advantage of the occasion to
impress upon his hearers and the country
at large that the law was not as vicious
as it's enemies had asserted, and that the
present disturbed financial condition OF
the country was due more to Tear OF
tariff tinkering than to the fact thai we
were buying every month four millions
and half ounces of silver. The most
interesting part of the veteran legislators s
speech was that in which he went into
the history of the act of 1873 by which
the silver dollar was demonetlzed. since
the agitation has commenced Tor the re-
neal Of the Sherman law, it has frequent
iy been asserted by Senator Stewart of
Nevada, and other silver men that MI.
Sherman, at the instigation OF an Eng
lishman surreptitiously and without
knowledge of the country and his congress
ional associates dropped the dollar out OF
the coinage laws. By quoting from the
Congressional Record of that time and
other public documents Mr.. Sherman
showed that the silver dollar had been
dropped out of the coinage laws openly
and publicly and with the full knowledge
of every one who was interested in the
subject and who in anyway had the
slightest thing to do with the framing
of the act of 1873 In very vigorous
language, Mr.. Sherman directed his re.
marks more especially to Mr.. VOORHEES, OF
Indiana and Mr.. Stewart of Nevada, and
took occasion to say, after he had made
this explanation, that hereafter if any
Senator or any one else should refer to
him as being responsible for dropping
the dollar out of the act of 1873, he would
be guilty of falsehood. This was more
direct language than is unusually en-
ployed in the Senate and created some
what of sensation.
There seems to be little foundation for
the rumors which have been in circula-
tion for some time that it is the purpose
of the majority to adjourn about the
middle of the coming month. Such
thing might be possible in case the
Senate passed the repeal bill by that time,
but the impression is general that even
if the most rapid progress is made, it
will take more than two weeks before
the repeal bill is finally passed by both
Houses of Congress.

Savannah, Ca, August 30.--Steamer
City of Birmingham, two days over due,
arrived at Savannah att pm, bringing
portion of the passengers and crew of
the steamer City of Savannah, wrecked
Monday on the shoals six miles from st.
Helena light house, South Carolina. The
City of Savannah left Boston Thursday
afternoon. She met three storms She beat
about all day Sunday until the steam
whistle was knocked off and the water
began pouring into the hold. Seeing that
the ship could last but a few hours,
Capt. Savage headed her for shoal water.
Early Monday morning the stamer was
humping and scraping against the bot
tom and was run as far aground as pos
sible She could not be COTTON into an
easy place. The huge waves broke over
her with increasing force and beat the
boats to pieces. Officers and crew used
every effort to pervent loss of life among
the passengers and were successful. Not
a life was lost from aboard the ship
Monday afternoon a small boat with
three sailors who had volunteered from
the crew was sent out to find place on
shore where boats could land. They did
not return, and it is not known whether
they reached the shore. Tuesday fore
noon only two life boats were left. They
were manned, the first officer in COM
mand of one and the second officer of the
other Four of the strongest sailors of
the crew were picked for each boat. The
boats were filled with the women and
children, about fifteen in all including
the female employees of the steamer and
two male passengers. The boats landed
at Coffinpoint, st. Helena island, where
they are at present. Those who remained
on the City of Savannah were rescued
Wednesday by the City of Birmingham.
Tuesday the Birmingham rescued the
captain and crew of six men from the,
water logged schooner Joseph Luther. A
few moments later vessel was passed
bottom upward. Other vessels were
seen with masts and rigging partly gone.
One with hardly a mast or sail up was
spoken and an offer of assistance made,
but the captain declined to leave the
ship Tuesday at p. m. the City Of
Savannah was sighted and Wednesday
morning the rescue of those on board
effected. The passengers of the Savan-
nah lost everything, some being without
hats and coats The steamer is a total
loss.

IN THE SENATE.
Passages From the Remarks of tho Ohio
Member.

Washington, August 31.-After the
routine morning business the bill for the
repeal of the Sherman act was taken up
by the Senate, and Mr.. Sherman pro-
ceeded to address the Senate. He said
that if the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the act of July, 1890, were the only
reason for the extraordinary session, it
would seem to him insufficient. 1t was,
however, justified by the existing finan-
cial stringency.
On one thing, he said, Congress and the
people agreed, and that was that both
gold and silver should be continued in
use as money. Monometallism pure and
simple had never gained a foot hold in the
United States. IT Senators wanted cheap
money and an advance in prices, free
coinage of silver was the way to do it,;
but they should not call 1t bimetallism.
Mr.. Sherman then proceeded to discuss
the history OF the sct that bears his his
coinage of silver and regarded it as but
another name for the monometallism OF
silver, and was only in favor of the pur-
chase of silver for the purpose of coming.
The conferences of the two houses
agreed upon their differences, and in
that agreement secured the repeal of the
Bland-A llison act. Mr. Sherman re-
minded Senators that when they criti-
cized the law that was misnamed after
him. they should remem ber that this
| law now on the statute books was better
than either the House bill or that passed
| by the Senate
The President had, Mr.. Sherman said,
set forth the decline in the value of sill
yer, but had failed to give the causes of
IF ha hoH takQn a hrnadar
view of the causes of that decline he
could have explained it all. 1t was due,
Mr.. Sherman said, to the fact that we
were called upon to pay our debts, debts
payable in gold. England was the
| great creditor country, and we should
neither be ashamed of her nor hate her;
we are her children and partake much OF
| the characteristics of the parent stock.
England's losses in the Argentine Repub-
| lie had to be made good, and she returned
| her securities and demanded the gold
| needed. For the first time, also,- in a
number of years the balance OF trade was
against us and we had to make the
difference good.
The Democratic party was now charged
with a great responsibility and Mr.. Sher.
man warned them that if they attempted
| to alter the existing tariff laws they
would plunge the country into deeper
distress than now exists.

where this performance takes place
i attached to the concession known
rs the street in Cairo. Opinions as
to the advisal ity Of permitting the
performance have been much divided,
iut no Official censurc has been passed
upon what is sometimes termed its
,ndecencv. Certain it Is that the
danseuses are clad more after fashion
suited to the climate of sultry Egypt
than Of chilly Chicago, and certain it
Is that the audience is mainly of the
sterner sex. But beyond all doubt the
theatcr illustrates the customs of the
country whence the performers have
come, and the concessionaires of the
Cairo street defend their danseuses on
the count Of their chronological inter-

ton Is of the body rather than of the
feet There is no slight grace about
the performance. and there is a ryth-
mic skin that probably no occidental
premiere could acquire.
At the theater attached to the Turk
ish village there are dances that differ
from the Cairocne in degree rather
than kind. There is the same wave
like movement of the body. the same
swaying in sections to music, and the
same languorous grace. This is like
wise the case at the Algerian theater.
