Disaster on the Water In Which Probably
Twenty Lives Were Lost.
New YORK, June rs. The tug James
d. Nichol, with sixty-three excursion
lists and crew numbering ten or
twelve, sunk at about o'clock Sum
day afternoon 8 miles off the high
lands. Fifty-four of those on board
have been accounted for. The rest
were probably drowned. The tug left
Fifth street and East river at 1880
o'clock in the morning, touched at pier
3, East river, and then went on to the
fishing grounds.
The tug reached the banks on time,
but the fishing was poor and the aea
too rough for comfort and about noon
she started back When about miles
east Of the highlands and a bout miles
south of Scotland lightship the
waves began to break heavily over
her starboard rail. To dodge the
water and wind the passengers began
to run around to the port side and to
climb on top Of the deck house. The
boat careened alarmingly to port and
the water swept in over the rail.
The terror-stricken men rushed back
to starboard and the tug swung deeply
down on that side. At the same mo.
ment three heavy breakers struck the
boat in quick succession. The captain,
William H. Yatt, stuck pluckily to his
post and sounded the whistle in q pro-
longed scream for help. Even as he

The politics of Morocco are much
simpler than the politics of this coun-

assassinated by friends of his son, and
that his son Is now the ruler. No pri-

no ward bosses were necessary. The
young man shot into office without

the archbishop of Lyons was sum
moned to the bedside Of the dying pres
ident to administer to him the last
rites Of the church. He was in the
room but short time when he emerged
and retired to an adjoining room.
Here he remained until 1890, when he
was again summoned to the presidents
room, where he administered to him
the sacrament.
M. Carnot remained conscious to the
last. He realized that his life was
rapidly ebbing away and twice he said;
"Je men vais.'' DR.. Ponce leaned over

1t is expected that three new states
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico-will soon
be admitted to the Union. The enabling
act for Utah has been approved by the
President, while acts for the other two ter
ritories have been passed by the House and
are being favorably considered in the
Senate. OF course, it is expected that the
three new states will add six senators and
at least three representatives to the Demo-
cratic strength in Washington.
The population of Utah is much greater
than is needed for mere admission as a
state, and now numbers 100000 souls,
nearly 10 per cent of whom are native born
Americans. Utah's wealth and material
development also are much greater than
most people think The value of real and
personal property in the territory amounts
to 100000, 900. The annual value of her
agricultural products is about $4,000, 900.
In 1891 the territory produced SS,000,000
worth of silver, 900, 900 of lead, S725,-
600 of gold, and S1OO 900 of copper. She
has 5000 miles of irriga ting canals and 2300
miles of railroads.
Neither Arizona nor New Mexico can
compare with Utah in the matter of devel-
opment, but it is claimed of the former
that besides her immense mineral resources
she possesses in her forests and her rich
farming and fruit lands possibilities that
will make her one of the great states of the
Union. The present population of the
territory IS only little over $100,000 and
her people are largely of Spanish or Mexi-
can extraction.
New Mexico has been asking to be made
a state ever since 1850. Her population is
about l75, 1000, mostly MeXicans, or "greas-
ers' as they are known in the far West.
| The assessed value of property for 1891
was S45, 100000. The value of precious
metals produced in 1890 was $1,000, 0OO
Forty-four thousand school children are
enrolled in her public schools.
With the admission of these states, only

will remain outside the pale.

The Corean situation,


Russia is said to have resolved that
neither Japan nor China shall be suffered
to rob helpless Corea, with her 100000
primeval shooters of bows and arrows in
an effeminate state of civilization. The
magnanimous disinterestedness of the
great polar bear of the north, with her
ponderous sharp claws, is sublime, and is
only equaled by that of the growing Brit
ish lion, which has resolved that neither
Russia nor any other foreign meddler shall
ostentatiously intermeddle in this affair.
Lying between Japan and China is the
peninsula of Corea, her people trying to
serve two masters, exposed to the dangers
of long line of sea coast, and looking
anXiously on all sides for protection. 1t is
a most striking case of bone lying be-
tween two but partially civilized contest
ants, while in the distance are crouched
big lion and bear, each ready to spring up
on either or both when matters become
sufficiently "miXed." In the workings of
that providence which usually attends the
under dog in a fight may the jealousies of
the lion and the bear save the poor Co
reans from being devoured.

The Roman Catholic Church and the
Liquor Sellers.

A New York despatch says that Roman
Catholic liquor dealers who wish to keep
well with the church are troubled over
Mgr Satollis approval Of Bishop Waiter
sons exclusion of saloon keepers from
Catholic societies and from the sacraments,
They are inclined to regard the deliverance
in which the papal delegate sustains the
Ohio bishop as mandatory on other bsh-
ops, so that all liquor dealers are likely
soon to be under the ban. Their organ,
the Wine and Spirit Gazette, takes this
view, saying in its last number:
"The decree in its terms is undoubtedly
mandatory for the whole country. 1t ad-
monishes the bishops of other dioceses to
initiate the example of Bishop Watterson,
who instructed the clergy to refuse absolu.
ton to saloon keepers of their parishes
who sell liquor on Sunday, and to suspend
from its work and privileges every Ro-
man Catholic society that has a liquor
dealer or saloon keeper at its head or any
where among its officers. We do not hesi-
tate to say that the effect of the strict en-
forcement of this decree would be a Sc
verer blow to the liquor trade than any
thing the prohibition cranks and cold wa
ter fanatics have accomplished within the
last 40 years. Fully two-thirds, if not
more, of the retail liquor dealers of the
country are Roman Catholics. Some of
them are liberal contributors to church
funds'
Elsewhere the Gazette said, for the evil
dent purpose of forcing an expression of
opinion from Archbishop Corrigan:
1--WE voice the sentiments of a large ma
jority of the liquor dealers of this city and
Brooklyn in saying: we dare Archbishop
Corrigan to enforce in letter and spirit the
decree against the liquor traffic just issued
by Mgr Satolli the papal delegate. Let
the archbishop do l., and watch the conse-
quences.
To this the archbishop replied on the
2Sth of July:
"Dedr SH:-Returning to town yester-
day, l found on my desk a copy of your
journal of July %. In reply to your eX-
pressed wish, l have the honor to say that
| Loyalty accept the principles laid down by
his excellency, Mgr Satolli, both in their
spirit and to the letter. More than this,
no Catholic can refuse to accept them. AS
to the fear of consequences, | have yet,
thank God, to learn what fear is in the dis
charge of my duty"
In commenting on this letter the editor
of the liquor dealers organ says there are
1900 wholesale and 5000 retail liquor deal
ers in New York city, and $4,000 liquor
dealers in the state, so that, if two-thirds
of the liquor dealers are Roman Catholics,
as alleged, the number of people affected
by Mgr. Satolli's deliverance, if adhered to
by Archbishop Corrigan, is very large.

The Tariff Deadlock.

The story of progress in tariff making by
Congress the past week can be briefly told;
There has been no progress at all. The
Democratic members of the conference
committee of the two houses are at dead
lock, and when this deadlock will be
broken is purely matter of conjecture.
All the week it has been game of see-saw
guess-work as to which side, if either, will
yield. One day it has been said that the
Senate will surrender to popular pressure
and Mr.. Cleveland and the House carry
the day, and the next the assertion has
been equally confident that the Senate will
stand firm and the House come to its
terms.
President Cleveland is taking a very act
i've interest in the fight between the two
houses. His attitude, as nearly as it can
be ascertained is that the House conferees
shall insist upon free coal and free iron
ore, and that the sugar schedule shall be
modified in some way so as to disguise its
most Objectionable features from the Amer
lean public.
The prediction has been freely made that
the result of the stubborn contest will be
no tariff legislation at all, and the contin
uance of the Mckinley law in force, but
the most conservative and trustworthy
Washington opinion points to a final agree
ment, mainly on the lines of the Senate
amendments, with respect to sugar, coal
and iron.
A hopeful correspondent, in this morn
ings papers, predicts that an agreement
will be reached and tariff bill passed
within a week

A Mugwump Procrastination.
From the New York Evening Post

If the House now surrenders the one
eighth cent sugar duty, the sugar trust will
be the one sole issue of the coming cam
paign. Democrats say that if they do not
pass some bill they might as well not go
into the next campaign at all. Very true;
and if they give the sugar trust one-eighth
cent per pound in addition to the other
protection which the bill provides, they
might as well not go into the campaign at
all. If the conclusion of all the battling
over the tariff during fifteen years is a
bounty to the sugar trust, the people will
sweep the party out of power and perhaps
out of existence.
