ALL HOPE GONE.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6, 1854 spe-
cial from Mazatlan says:-The Colima
survivors found by the steamer Mazat-
Ian have arrived at Manzanillo. They
consisted of two passengers. w. H. Bry-
an and N. o. Wens. and three of the
crew. Joe Pegueros, Santa Angel Maria
and ]. Altman. These five are I'M
doubtedly survivors of boa No. 5, and
the last to hear from, making the total
saved out of 24 to be thirty, as follows:
Twenty-one by the San Juan, four at
Acapulco and five at Manzanillo. There
is no hope of picking up or finding more
and the recovery of bodies is extremely
doubtful owing to the great depth of
water. However, a few may come
ashore. The inhabitants along shore are
patrolling he coast. The hope
had been entertained that First officer
Griffiths and Purser Wafer would be
among those in boat No. 5 but all hope
of their being among the saved is now

Senator Kuhl opposed the resolution as
unfair. If the Legislature wanted n
one prosecuted it should lave the courage
to name him and not throw such a
delicate duty upon the Comptroller and
Attorney General. Such a resolution
was absolutely useless. Senator DAILY of
Hudson also opposed the resolution as
unnecessary, and he read from the law
which explicitly makes 1t the duty of the
Comptroller to begin suit for the re-
covery of money in such cases. Chair
mar Voorhees, offered to permit Senator
Kuhl to amend the resolution by in
sorting the names of the persons to be
prosecuted, but Kuhl declined the offer,
as he had not heard the testimony
taken by the committee. and had not yet
read the long report. Finding so much
opposition to the resolution, Chairman
Voorhees, withdrew 1t, remark.ng that
the State Comptroller, who was present,
had heard enough to Indicate the senti-
ments of the Senators as to his duty. A
concurrent resolution was passed author
izing the Comptroller to make an equ!-
table adjustment of the amount due for
publishing in German the school report
for the year 1893. This report would
cost the State nearly $lo,00O. and IS IN
volved in the alleged conspiracy by which
men received pay for withholding their
bids.
POLL TAX BILL.
Tt was discovered today hat the bill
abolishing the poll tax in Essex and Hud-
son counties was never passed by the
Senate, but was defeated by a vote of 10
to 8. 1t was filed yesterday by the Gov
ernor without his approval, n it be-
came a law. 1t will be repealed unless
the Presidents rulings prevent the con-
~sfderation Of repeater.

TARDY PRAISE FOR BOSWELL.

The London standard" showed a be-
coming respect for letters by devoting
a sleader" the other day to the mem
or yof Boswell, whose death took place
a century ago. 1t makes perhaps more
of astragedy of his end than the facts
quite justify, but it does recognize his
place in literature, which after all is the
essential. His follies were not greater
han G~oldsmith's. and yet the world by
a silly trick went on shifting at "Bozzy'
for generations. That nonsense is hap
PLY now about dead. We are beginning
to speak fittingly of one of the greatest
writer's in literature. Boswell is to all
other biographers what Shakespeare is
to other poets. Lockhart's Life of Scott
is admirable, but it has only to be COM
pared to the Life of Johnson to show
BoswelPs superiority. Is it not time that
the great bfographer had his own life
worthily written?-St. James Gazette.

the New Jersey State system.

the New Jersey State System.
WASHINGTON, June 6, 1ss5.-The plan
of operations of the geological survey
for the fiscal year, 1895 and 1896, is as
follows:-.
The field work in the New England
region will be conducted by four parties
and will be a ~ontinuan of the work
of the past year. A survey of the Rich
mond coal basin of Virginia will ais be
taken up.
The area covering the greater part of
the roofing-slate belt of Eastern New
York and Southwestern Vernon will be
continued. An agreement has been made
with the State Survey of New Jersey
with the government survey to cooper
ate in investigating the zinc deposits and
the white limestones of Sussex county,
N. ]. The coal deposits of West vir-
ginia, Virginia and Eastern Tennessee
apd Alabama will be studied.
Four parties will work the interior or
Mississippi region, embracing an area
within the British boundary on the north
to the Gulf of Mexico on the south. A
study of the artesian water bearing for
nations on the Arkansas basin Will be
made. The mining districts in New
Mexico. Arizona, Colorado, Utah. wy
oming, Idaho and Montana will be in
charge of four parties.
A close examination will be made along
the Neha1em Valley and across the
ranges to the Columbia River in oregon,
where valuable deposits of both gold
and coal are reported. An inspection
will be mad in certain regions of Wash
ington State where there is thought to
be deposits of iron ore of the Lake Su-
perior type.
An investigation of the gold
of Alaska will be made during the sum-
mer and in the fall and spring. A total
appropriation of a little over half a
million dollars Is available for this pur-
