The steamer is reported to be the Atlas

The Andes went ashore during a fog and
lost her rudder post. She is 1859 tons reg
lister. and her agents In New York are PIN,

The vessel lies about one and a quarter
miles north of Little Beach, and about a
mile and a quarter of shore, being closer

She came ashore last night or early this
morning during the heavy fog which exist
ed and lies head on. having apparently
been driven further up by the food tide.
In addition to the distress signal this
morning, she few the H. V. c." flag s.g-

Owing to the washing down of the flag

VISITING STATESMEN.
Members of Congress Inspect a Market
and an Engine House.


With . view OF better understanding sew
eral important estimates In the District ap-
preparation bill. Representatives Cogsweli
and Thompson Of the subcommittee on ap-
preparations OF the District Of Columbia
made a tour of the city this morning In
company with Building Inspector Entwisle
and Commissioner Ross. The first place
visited was the Georgetown market house.
1t viii be recalled that an appropriation of
$1,000 was asked to tear down the front
building and rebuild one story higher 20
correspond with the back building. The
committee found that the condition of
affairs bore out the statement of the Com
mssioners. The next place visited was
reservation No. 81. which is directly In
front of the National Theater. An appro-
priation OF 5000 was asked for the purpose
of replacing the sidewalk and curb about
this reservation. The committee then visit
ed No. engine house. An item in the es-
innate OF the Commissioners for $1,000 con-
templated the removal OF this company to
the reservation at the intersection OF Ohio
avenue, 18th and c streets northwest The
necessity Of this was urged in view Of the
unsanita-y condition of the present engine
house. The committee examined the sani-
tary arrangements very carefully, and the
men Were put through an exhibition drill.
The new engine house on 14th street was
also inspected. and the committee then
drove to the James Creek canal TO learn
the needs Of an appropriation of 5000 for
Fencing the same. Ii was apparent from
their observations and remarks that they
we-e thoroughly satisfied that the improve
ments asked for were necessary. The COM
mittee also desired TO visit several other
places. but owing to an engagement at the
Capitol they had to forego the trip.

Intelligence has reached the NAVY NJ
partment OF the end Of an old shin or
doubtful nationality which has recently
been an elephant on the hands of the sov-
ernment. After the war between Paraguay
and the combined forces of Brazil and the
Argentine Republic the government of Par
aguay presented to the United States a
wooden war ship as tribute Of respect.
Congress never authorized the Navy De-
partment to accept the present, and oues-
tion OK ownership was left in doubt. The
Navy department did not feel authorized
to use the vessel nor to send her back 10
Paraguay, SO the old ship has been lying
Tor years at the Mare Island navy yard.
Some tine ago she sank. and recently the
Navy Department found it necessary to
destroy the hulk to open the channel The

navy yard, just received at the department.

Agricultural Colleges.

IN answer TO a recent inquiry made Of
the Secretary Of the Interior by the COM
missioner OF education in regard to a d.
vision Of the fund TO agricultural colleges
in the south, the Secretary has decided
that the division OF the fund as already OF
hereafter TO be made by the various state
legislatures shall be approved by the de-
partment unless IL is apparent that such
suggested division is grossly inequitabls
and that in cases where the state legisla-
lures have not yet proposed an equita bic
apportionment that the basis of division
now in force shall remain till the legisla-
tive intent regarding the matter is made
known. In the case of South Carolina the
act of Congress of July 26. 1892. applies
not only to the sum due the state at the
time, but TO all sums becoming due under

The New York Bridge bill.

1t is not expected that the House will at
tempt to pass the New York and New Jer-
sey bridge bill over President Clevelands
veto. Mr.. Covert OF New York. who was
actively identified with the passage Of the
bill. said this morning that thus far no
plan OF action had been outlined by its
friends. He regards the veto as wholly un-
necessary. inasmueh as the genius and
spirit Of the bill requires that before il
becomes a law it shall receive the approval
OF the Secretary of War. Without the
Secretary's approval it's provisions would
be rendered nugatory, no matter what
action Congress had taken upon il.
The vote by which the bill passed the
House encourages Mr.. Covert to believe
that 1t might be passed over the President's s
veto. The bill and veto go to the commit.
Tee on commerce The committee may
amend the former in certain particulars
out IT is feared that any amendment which
would be agreeable to the Presidents wishes
would SO emasculate the bill as to destroy
Its utility.
