NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE prosecution in
the case against Sheriff Tamsen won a
point to-day by obtaining a ruling of Judge
Allison in which he laid 1t down as an un-
questionable fact that Ludlow-street jail
was the county Jail, and 1t necessarily fol-
lowed that the sheriff was responsible for
the safe keeping of United States prisoners.
"Old Bill vosburg'' was the principal wit
ness of the day. He said he was the father
in-law of Russell, one of the prisoners, and
had visited the jail about five times week

Resignation OF Clarke Wallace, Ca
madam Controller OF Customs.

OTTAWA. Ont. Dec. u.-Hon. Clarke
Wallace. Controller of Customs In the Do
minion Cabinet, has resigned because he
cannot approve OF the course which the gov
ernment has adopted in its attitude
towards the Manitoba school question.
Wallace Is grand master OF the Orange
Grand Lodge OF British America.
The resignation OF Clarke Wallace will
undoubtedly have a far-reaching political
effect. IL is believed TO foreshadow an al
lance between Dalton Mccarthy, t.. f.
Clark and Clarke Wallace. leaders of the
Orange body in Ontario. and the possible
formation OF a third party. The opposition
leaders claim that. despite its several
promises, the government did not dare in
troduce a remedial bill for the relief of the
Catholics In Manitoba, in face of the oppo-
sition OF the whole Orange body and that
OF thousands OF dissatisfied Protestant
electors. On the other hand. IL the govern
ment fails TO bring in remedial legisla-
ton. Quebec will offer direct opposition
aud this. combined with the withdrawal OF
Catholic support In Ontario. would tend TO
render even more uncertain the political
fortunes OF the Conservative government.

LIVERPOOL. Dec. 1.-THE White Star
line steamship Germanic, Captain McKin-
stry, from Liverpool to-day for Queenstown
and New York. collided at the mouth of the
river Mersey with the Scotch coasting
steamer Cambrae, and the latter was sunk.
The Germanic cut into the fore part of the
Cambrae, and she remained wedged there
until thirty passengers of the Cambrae and
twenty-eight OF the crew had clambered
aboard the Germanic or had been rescued in
boats. One woman had a rib broken. When
the Germanic became disengaged from the
Cambrae that ship foundered. The Ger
manic then returned to Liverpool in a dis
abled condition and the passengers were
landed and sent to hotels. They have the
option of proceeding on their journey by the
Cunard line steamer Umbria, which leaves
Queenstown on Dec. Is. or by the White Star
steamer Teutonic, which leaves Queens
town on Dec. 19.
The Germanic has a hole feet by In
her bow above the water mark. She will
dock tomorrow morning and discharge.
The collision occurred in the fog. Both
vessels were going slow at the time. About
an hour after the Germanic started she had
an extra lookout man, but ii was impos-
sible to avoid the collision. The cries OF
the Cambrae passengers were heartrend-
ing when they supposed that the vessel
was sinking. The Germanic's bulkheads
were Immediately closed, so that very little
water penetrated the hull. A volunteer
crew from the Germanic and the Cambrae
started to draw the fires and 20 save the
valuables on board the Cambrae, but she
sank before they reached her. This crew,
thus left behind, lost traces of the Ger
manic, but fortunately their cries attract
ed a tug, which rescued them.
Lord Dunraven, Arthur Glennie and John

that he desired a truthful statement and

Comment Of the London Press on Il
Impea chment Resolution.


Impea chment Resolution.
LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE United States en-
bassy was besieged at an early hour to-day
by newspaper reporters anxious to obtain
the views of ambassador Bayard on the
demand for his impeachment which was
made yesterday IN the House Of Representa-,
tives at Washington by William K. Barrett
Of Massachusetts,. on the ground that he
had insulted the country to which he is
accredited. the people he represents, in
speeches delivered at Boston, England, and
Edinburgh, Scotland. on Aug. and Nov 4,
respectively. But all attempts to induce Mr..
Bayard or his staff to discuss the matter
failed, while the British officials also de-
clined to make any statements on the SUBJ
ject. Although Mr.. Bayard refuses to be
interviewed, he has stated that he does not
intend to tender his resignation.
The Evening Standard, commenting on
the affair. says: 'The pettiness of party
more crearly displayed. Mr.. Bayard has
gained the good will Of all classes here.
The United States has always been singu>
larly fortunate in the selection of its EN-.
has proved himself worthy of the foremost
rank. This petty outburst of spite the
part OF a political clique will not tend to
increase our feeling of respect for American
politicians"
The st. James Gazette thinks that Mr..
Bayard may resign after such an attack.
II so," the Gazette adds, "his loss will be
regretted by all who have come in contact
with such a fine example Of a dignified,
eloquent American statesman But Mr..
Bayard's indiscretion was so deliberate that
we doubt if he did not contemplate
this result. After all. We. too, should re-
sent II II our ministers made similar state-
ments.''
The Westminster Gazette remarks: up
to the hour of going TO press Mr.. Bayard
had not fled to Hatfield. Whether he seeks
refuge in the Tower OF London remains to
be seen.'
The Globe ridicules the impeachment idea
and adds: THE Republican majority is not
unreasonably annoyed that Mr.. Bayard per-
mitted himself the freedom of speech which
is impossible to the diplomatist Of the old
world"
The Post Conservative says, 'Ths
moral is that ambassadors, IL called on tc
make a speech, should discuss authorship
and Shakespeare. and especially when
presidential election is in sight"

not desire to say anything very emphatic

SILVER CONFERENCE,
An Informal Gathering OF Democrats
Who Believe in Opening the Minis
for the w hIte Metal.

An Informal Gathering OF Democrats
Who Believe in Opening the MINIS
for the W hIte Metal.
There was a small gathering of Demo-
Gratis who believe in silver in conference
here yesterday at the Marlborough House.
The recent conference Of silver Demo
Gratis at Washington resolved to organ
ize the forces in all the States, the oh
iect in view being to have enough
delegates in the next National Con
vention to nominate a silver man
for President and to write a
silver platform. In furtherance Of
this plan it was determined to have a
member of National Executive Com
mittee from every State, each member to
organize clubs of silver Democrats in
every precinct North Carolina has not
selected its member of this committee,
and several gentlemen were invited by
Mr.. Ed. Chambers Smith, at the request
of Ex-senator Jarvis, to meet the Elk
Senator and Congressman Lockhart, to
select the member of the committee
from this State, and to confer inform
ally upon the best plan for making the
silver sentiment mo effective.
Those present were: Elk Senator
Jarvis, of Pitt; Congressman L1ckhart,
of Arson; Editor W. G. Dowd, of Neck
lenburg; Ashley Horne, of Johnston; and
Messrs. N. B. Broughton, S. A. Ashe, J.
N. Holding, @. @. Beckwith, w H, Day,
Ed. Chambers Smith, Josephus Daniels
and Mayor Russ, of Raleigh. 1t was de-
termined to defer the Recommendation of
North Carolina's member of the Executive
Committee to a later date, and there was
much interchange Of opinion in refer
ence to the proposed non partisan Silver
Convention proposed by Mr.. Ed. Cham
bers Smith and others There was di-
vision of sentiment in regard to the he
cessity or propriety OF holding any con-
vention this year, some of those present
strongly favoring the plan, others doubt
full, and others still opposed to it.
But no action was taken either
way, as the conference was
purely an informal one gathered to hear
and talk with ex-senator Jarvis and
Congressman Lockhart about the silver
movement in the country and the Wash
ington Conference in particular.
Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Lockhart returned
to their homes to day; Mr.. Dowd and
Mr.. Horne returned yesterday afternoon.
