 SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-The fore bodings of the friends of the passen- gers and crew of the Colima were ex- ceedingly gloomy this morning and few cherished any hope of the survival of those hitherto unaccounted for.
 The Pacific Mail Steamship company declared that it had received absolutely no word from the scene of the disaster. A dispatch to private shipping firm from Guatemala states that the steamer Barracouta, which has been cruising about the scene of the wreck in search of survivors, has picked up raft with nine passengers from Colims, a San Francisco man named Peters being among the number. The Barracouta has not yet put into port, but the Pa cifc mail officials suggest that the steamer probably signalled smaller vessel which put into port to convey the news of the rescue to the nearest town and it was thence telegraphed to Guatemala.
 The latest details received here up to o'clock are contained in the following message: "Colima, Mexico, May 31 six survlvors of the steamer Colima, have reached here. They are John Thornton, J. E. Chilberg of Seattle, cabin passengers, Peters and Vindon, Seamen Gonzales and Fred Johnston J They are said to have reached there on a raft and another raft with five men is reported from San Telmo.
 The survivors state that the women and children were all in staterooms and all went down with the steamer. The survivors also report that Purser Waife1 was seen in a we'll manned boat pulling away from the sinking steamer towards shore. It is supposed that this boat is still aaoat.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The feature of
the Senate to-day was speech by Mr..
Morgan, Of Alabama, chairman OF the
committee on foreign affairs and
member Of the Paris Bering sea srlb-
unal, upon resolution offered by him
last week instructlng the foreign re.a-
tions committee to investigate the CUES.
tion OF the liability OF the United
States for the seizures OF British ships
in Boring sea in 1890.
Mr.. Morgan took tho position in the
last Congress that the settlement Of
these claims by tho payment of lump
sum OF Si25,O00, ss ordered by tho
President, was neither wise nor proper.
His remarks on that occasion wera tho
subject OF some comment from the
British ambassador hore in the letters
OF the correspondence with Lord KIM
berly.
That correspondence was printed re-
Gently from the British Blue Book, and
most of Mr.. Morgans spec ch to day was
devoted to paying his respects TO Sir
Julian Pauncefo.e. He quoted from his
report to Lord Kim Der that Ropu biicans,
Populists and Democrats had voted
against the appropriation, and his COM
mont attributipg the action of the House
to the necessity OF party expediency.
Mr. Morgan declared contem p.uously
that 1t was getting to be tho fashion
abroad to attribute everything that did
not please them to the Influence of
party politics."
on his (Morgan's) characteriz ation of
some Of the alleged British claimants
ss "recalcitrant and rascslly Ameri-
oans." he declared that the British am
bassador's strictures were based on the
mistaken notion that the British nayl
CATION laws should cover violations of
the United States statutes. Crimes
against the decalogue Ia not, he said. to
be found In the Koran.
he denounced the action of American
marauders in Bearing sea who had
placed themselves under tho prosec,ion
of the British fog as guilty of surrep-
titous piracy. He did not object to the
English Ambassador criticising his
course either as Senator or "a mem Der
of the Paris tribunal in b Ia private COM
munications to his government; but he
emphatically protested that he hud no
right to give his criticism to the Ameri-
can papers In pamphlet and thus fore
stall reply. Mr.. Morgan was exceed
ingly ironical in his reference to the in
discriminate nature of the claims Eng
land had bundled together and asked to
sell for lump sum-"
at the conclusion of HID speech,
which occupied two hours, Mr.. Morgan
asked vote on the adoption of his res
olution instruoting the foreign affairs
committee to examine into and report
upon the liability of the United STATES
to Great Britain tor seizures.
The resolution WAS adopted without q
dissenting voice and at 3:45 the Senate
went into executive session, and at 1857
.. IN. adjourned.
