AT THE NERCY On IHE SBA.
The Steamer Pomeranian Dis
abled in Mid Ocean.
SEEN BY THE BELGENLAND
The Captain of the Red Star Steamer
Refuses Assistance.
A Steamer From Halifax Is Sent in Search
of the vessel-Late Yesterday After
noon She Arrives at
That Port.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The Allan
steamer Pomeranian, which left this port
March 18th for Glasgow, is disabled at
sea. The news was brought by the Red
Star steamer Belgenland, from Antwerp.
Captain Ehoff says he met the Pomeranian
early on the morning of the 21st. The
Allan liner was displaying signals of dis
tress, and the course of the Belgenland
was changed, and as she drew near the
Pomeranian the latter hoisted lights in
dicating, 81 am not under control"
The Belgenland steamed to within a
quarter of mile and the Poneranian fol-
lowed up the original signals with the
information, "Havel smashed piston, -
and the query, evil you stand by and
tow me?'' To the latter the Belgenland
replied that she could not take her in tow.
1t was blowing a fierce northeast gale
and there was an ugly toss to the sea.
The Belgenland did not remain longer in
company with the disabled craft. When
| they parted company the Pomeranian
was lying to with little head of canvas
set. She was anything but steady in the
heavy sea. The position of the vessel
when deserted by the Belgenland was
about $50 miles southeast of Cape Sable
! ana iOO miles eiSO Ol OdnQy HOOK. OdpIdln
Ehoff says his reason for not towing the
vessel was that the rules of his company
| forbid 1t. His statement is ridiculed in
shipping circles.
The Pomeranian was formerly the
| Grecian Monarch. This is her first east
ward trip since she was struck by a hur-
ricane February 4, which resulted in
killing her captain and drowning eleven
of her passengers and crew. Her COM
mander on this trip, Captain McCulloch,
was first officer when the fatal storm oc-
Cured. She is big, stout vessel, and
her agents here say they have no fear for
the safety of the vessel. She had
abundant sails and is well provided with
life boats.
A telegram from Halifax says the
steamer is to leave that port this after
noon to search for the vessel. Local
agents of the line characterize the action
of Captain Ehoff in declining to tow the
ship cowardly in the extreme. The Pom
meranian carried no passengers on this
trip. Her crew consists of seventy five
men. Information from Halifax later
this afternoon is that the Pomearnian ar
rived there. All well.
During terrific gale on Saturday night
the piston OF the low-pressure sylinder
broke. The officers of the ship make the
statement that had not the weather mod
Grated next day and continued fine, the
fate of the vessel in her crippled condition
must have been disastrous.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 23.-Scattering
reports are coming to Memphis from
points in west Tennessee and northern
Mississippi which indicate that a cyclone
whiried mp the Mississippi valley, from
the southwest, crushing and sweeping
away everything in its path. Telegraph
wires in every din ection are twisted into
tangled masses, and communication with
the storm swept localities is exceedingly
difficult and unsatisfactory.
/ Trains from the east reaching this CITY
late in the afternoon and evening brought
reports OF widespread destruction. Pas
sengers on the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley train told of the destruction of
Tuniea, Miss. 'The Birmingham train
due in Memphis at $50 O'Clock could not
get to Memphis until after pm. the
men being compelled to chop trees off the
track between here and Kelly.
The swath of the storm as it crossed the
Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham
road seemed to embrace the territory be-
tween Caperville and Olive Branch.
Dozens of houses, huge trees and barns
we're RACED to the ground by the violence
of the storm. Trainmen on the Kansas
City, Memphis & Birmingham road re-
port that Kelly, Miss, is wiped off the
face of the earth, not soul being left to
tell the tale. A special train lett Mem
phis for Kelly at $3.50 p. m.

day morning, doing considerable damage.

various points indicates that while the
storm was cyclonie early rumors OF
damages done were exaggerated. One
man is said to have been killed at Kellys
and another injured by falling build

was wiped out and the inhabitants killed
cannot be authenticated and is considered
a canard- No special trains have gone
out from Memphis.

FORMING A TARIFF BILL.
Secretary Carlisle Devoting Much
Time to the Subject.
SUGGESTIONS ARE OFFERED.
The Proposition of the New York Re.
form Club Prominent.
It, However, Corresponds Closely TO the
Proposition Submitted in 1885 BY
Edmund Atkinson of Boston
to President Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, March %. = Secretary
Carlisle. it is stated on good authority,
intends to give much of his time this
summer to the consideration OF the tariff
with a view TO so thoroughly faniliariz-
ing himself with the subject as to indicate
in a general way the outlines for the for
nation of a tariff bill by the next Demo
cratic House. Nearly every mail that
reaches the treasury department contains
suggestions from others as to the compll-
alton of a tariff bill. Some thirty or
forty of these communications are already
received, prominent among them being
that from the New York Reform club.
The general outline of the New York Re
form club tariff proposition corresponds
closely to the proposition submitted IN
1885 by Edward Atkinson OF Boston,
Mass. to President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Manning. This proposition divided
the tariff as follows:
Articles of food and animals.
B-Articles in crude condition which
enter into various processes OF domestic
industry.
C-Afticles wholly or partially manu-
featured for use as materials in manu-
factuIes and mechanic arts.
D-Articles manufactured, ready tor
consumption.
E-Articles Of voluntary use, Injuries,
etc.
Since that time the annual report of the
bureau OF statistics has contained a table
showing the duty collected on each OF
these classes Of articles. From the report
Of 1892, it appears that S173, 007 $50 duty
was collected, of which $40, 300, 226 was
collected under class A; S14, GAS, 428 under
class B; SO, 21S,412 under class c; SIC, 627,
sos under class D, and $40, 702, 796 undel
class E.
Treasury experts assert that the propo-
sition of the New York Reform club
places the articles of class A and B wholly
on the free list, while many of the articles
IN class c are also placed on the free list.
If this statement is correct the revenue
derived from customs would be decreased
by the addition to the free list of articles
now paying duty to an annual amount OF
S24, 34S, $50. but might be increased to some
extent by increased importations of ar
ticles under class Q on which the duty is
reduced. They figure, however, that on
the present basis of receipts and expendi-
lures, the proposed changes would result
IN an annual deficiency.

cred flames in the hall on the second floor.
Escape by the stairway was cut off, SO
Mrs. Miller jumped from the second story
window to the ground and gave tine alarm.
The fire spread rapidly through the halls
and hundreds of people congregated and
attempted to rescue thoseswho were in the
buildings
Nobody thought. however, to turn in a
fire alarm, and it was at least half an
hour before a steamer arrived which po-
liceman had sent to the place. 1t was not
until the flames were subdued that the
extent of the catastrophe was learned. AS
soon as the engines began working, many
spectators assisted the firemen in trying
to rescue persons in the burning struc-
ture, and several of them were badly
burned as they were driven back by the
flames.
The injured are Mrs. E. T. Clifford and
Mrs. j. FL. Miller, who were badly
bruised by jumping from the second
story window.
The fire originated in the basement,
just how is not known, and swept through
the halls, cutting off all means of escape.
The women who persisted ran to the
windows, but before anything could be
done TO assist them they were driven
back by the smoke and perished. The
dead bodies were found on the third floor
burned to crisp and horribly blackened
and disfgured.
The two upper floors of the building
were Quilted and the contents of the
house ruined. The building cost $50, 0OC
and was insured. Loss on contents
! S12 600; uninsured.

subject-Labor Troubles.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Concerning the
report that trouble between the Western
Union Telegraph company and its en-
ployees was imminent, w. B. Somerville,
OF the Western Union Telegraph company,
in an interview today, said: 81 under
stand some operators were dismissed at
Philadelphia, and, no doubt, for good
cause. We reserve to ourselves the right
to manage the company's affairs in our
own way, and without either dictation or
intimidation from the representatives of
any association. That such a course was
attempted, these facts show: On March
z, a circular was delivered at the Office of
the Western Union company, in Chicago,
with threat that it would be issued at
s o'clock that day if certain operators,
members of the order, were discharged
from the Western Union service at Pitts
burg
1.-THE circular was signed by John Cul-
bertson, supreme chancellor, and Oscar
NJ. Gibbs, supreme secretary and treas
urer, and ordered that members OF each
local lodge should, upon its receipt, ap-
bolnt a committee to thoroughly canvass
its territory, visiting all the leading firms
doing business with the Western Union
company, show them copy of the de-
claration of principles, advise them OF
the action of the Western Union company
in the discharge of members, and request
them to give their business to the Postal
Telegraph company on the claim that that
company was not antagOnlStic to the
| order; to call upon other labor organiza
tons to assist them in their efforts; and
to appeal to the public generally through
the daily papers to withhold patronage
from the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany for all competitive points. The in
quiry was made and reported that no dis
missals from our service was thought of
as charged in the circular.
t'On March ID, the following letter was
received to which of course no reply was
made:
CHICAGO, Ill.
To Thomas T. Eckert President and General
Manager Western Union Telegraph company
New York city:
notwithstanding yourIassurance, six
men were discharged on account of your

but if these men are not Immediately re-
instated and this injustice remedied, at

THE ANN ARBoR STRIKE.
President Gunton Delivers Lecture Upon
the Subject.

the Subject.
NEW YORK, March 23.-President Gun
ton of the school of social economics has
lectured on the Ann Arbor railroad strike
and the order of Judge Kicks to Chief
Arthur to recall the boycott and strike.
Prof. Gunton regards the order of Judge
Kicks as an act of socialism and logical
sequence to the interstate commerce law,
which forbids discrimination in railroad
rates against any one. This piece of pa
ternal legislation which has handed over
the railroads to the government, it now
appears, has also handed over the laborers
as well, and railroad employees now prac-
t cally worked for the government. Ed
ward III OF England in 1850 declared that
every man who asked more for bis labor
than he had done several years before
would be put into prison and be branded
with redhot iron. Prof. Gunton said if
matters went on as they were going a
redhot iron would again be brought out
of the fire to brand employees.
