STRUCK AN lCEBEh 6.

Narrow Escape of the Steamer Ethiopia,
En- Route from New York to Glasgow
The Vessels Safety Due to the Stability
of Her Bulkheads and the Intelligent
Management of Her Captain.
GLASGOW, June 1s-The steamer
Ethiopia, which said from New York
June ,, arrived here yesterday noon.
As Capt. Wilson signalled off Tory is
land Saturday, she collided with an ice
berg in the Atlantic and stove in her
bow above the water line. Her pas
sengers agree in this story of their ex-
perience:
The Ethiopia struck the iceberg on
the afternoon of the 9Th, while steam
ing ahead in dense fog. The shock
was terrific. Everybody who was
standing at the moment of impact was
thrown to the floor. At first the Of
ficers feared that the vessel would not
float and ordered the boats lowered.
The excited passengers crowded up to
the deck, most of the women hySterical
and weeping and the men asking the
usual senseIess and unanswerable ques.
tions.
The pumps were lowered just after
the captain ordered down the boats, but
no water was found in the hold. The
order for the boats was then counter
manded and something like confidence
was soon restored among the passen-
gers.
Soon the fog lifted and the crew were
able to work to advantage in making
temporary repairs. A wall Of bags OF
-four was built near the hole. When
the flour had become thoroughly satu
rated it was almost as hard and un-
yielding as cement. The crew worked
for some days shifting the cargo aft,
SO as to lift the broken bow out Of the
water. The Ethiopia, which bad been
stopped for repairs, was put ahead
after the worst damaged portion of
her bow had been partially closed and
braced At first she went at quarter
speed, then at three-quarters and after
passing Tory island She was driven
ahead at full speed.
Nobody aboard the Ethiopia was in
jured, and the cargo was not greatly
damaged. Persons who saw the Ethi-
opia's bow to-day marvel that she was
kept afioat after the collision. That
the vessel was saved, they think. was
due to the stability Of her bulkheads
and the intelligent management of the
captain.
The passengers were so pleased with
the untiring and successful efforts Of
)he crew that they subscribed S270 for
The sailors.

THE PLAGUE IN CHINA.

The Terribly Fatal Character of the Disease
Now Happily Rapidly Diminishing-A
Heavy Rainfall Credited With Saving the
Colony at Hong Kong From a Continu-
ance of the Terrible Visitation.
SAN FRANCISCO, June II. - The
steamer Belgic, which arrived from
Hong Kong and Yokohama yesterday,
brings news that the fever plague at
Hong Kong has subsidized considerably,
and there seems good reason to believe
that the disease will likely be
stamped out soon. During the
week ended May "a it is esti-
mated there were about 500 new
cases and about 400 deaths a
mortality which shows very clearly the
terribly fatal character of the disease
So far as known no European resident
has yet been attacked, but every pre-
caution is considered absolutely neces-
sary to check the spread of the plague
into the European quarter of the city
1t is confidently hoped that the heavy
rainfall which has taken place has
saved the colony from what might have
been terrible visitation.
In order to remove the objections of
the natives to inspection and disinfec-
ton the government has consented to
allow all parties suffering from the
plague to be treated by doctors of the
Lung Wah hospital. Arrangements
have been made for the erection of a
temporary hospital at kennedytown,
and henceforth all patients will be
treated there by Chinese doctors in
stead Of being taken to the plague
ship.
The plague caused an enormous ex-
odus from Hong Kong, and notices
were posted on the frontier prohibiting
Chinese suffering from the plague from
entering the mainland. -Four persons
who went to Samshuipo were refused
admittance to any house, and sought
refuge in a lime kiln. The next morn
ing they were found dead.
On the Goth upwards of 1000 natives
left by steamers and junks, and the
following day like number shook the
dust of Hong Kong off their feet. All
passenger boats were crowded, princf
pally by the lower classes.
One unsatisfactory feature or Jhe SIT
uation was the spread of the disease
throughout the city, cases cropping up
in the most unexpected places. On the
2lst sanitary officers entered house
supposed to be empty and made the
horrible discovery Of five corpses on
the premises and four very serious
casss, all exhibiting pronounced symp-
toms of the plague. At Canton the
plague is reported as diminishing.

ON THE COLOR LINE.

An Interesting Debate in the American
Railway Union-Radical and Extreme
Sentiments Expressed by Delegates on
Both Sides of the Question-President
Debs' Tribute to the Intelligence of the
Colored Man.
CHICAGO. June 19-After a debate
that occupied nearly nine hours, and
was participated in by over 100 dele
gates, the American Railway union ad-
journed last evening without reaching
any decision upon the proposition to
establish color line in the organiza-
ton. The question was precipitated
by report of the committee on revi-
sion Of the constitution, and which sub
mitted a new clause providing that
membership should include all railroad
employees born of white parents"
This raised howl, and for the rest
Of the day the delegates did nothing
else than thrash over all the civil
rights arguments pro and con that have
been heard in corrt and from pulpit
and platform for the last thirty years.
At times the debate waxed exceed
ingly warm
President Debs led the opposition,
which favored the striking out of the
words born of white parents" This
would enable each local union to de-
eide the question of the admission of
colored members for itself, and would
also leave the officers free to organize
auxiliary lodges compose exclusively
of colored railroad men.
The southern delegates, aided by
some from the far west, fought hard
for the establishment Of race line.
President Debs said he was not
ashamed to say that many colored peo-
pie were his intellectual superiors, to
which a southern delegate rctorted
that if he were to express the same
sentiments down south he might be
hanged
Delegate Maypole. of La Junta, Col. /,
with A. p Merrinan and T. r. Heaton,
of Memphis, bitterly opposed negro
recognition. Another southern dele
gate warned his colleagues that if they
admitted negroes they would have no
union south of the Mason and Dixon
line.
A Milwaukee delegate proclaimed
thai if the obnoxious words were
stric.cen out he would organize q lodge
Of $50 negroes in that city within two
weeks.
Delegates Riker, of Montana, and
Adams, of Seattle, Wash, favored the
formation Of separate lodges of color
ed men.
Just before the arrival of the regu-
lar hour for adjournment the previous
question was ordered. On show OF
hands those who voted for and against
the proposition to strike out the words
born Of white parents" seemed about
equal. a scene of uproar and turmoil
ensued. Each side tried its best to
shout the other down. 4 ballot was
demanded, but the chairman was un'
able to make himself heard above the
din, and finally an adjournment until
tomorrow morning was carried by an
Overwhelming r7ajority, the conven-
tion evidently lesiiing 3 breathing
