A dispatch from Cincinnati Gays:
Commodore Laid!ey and Captain Wise,
officers Of the Cincinnati. Memphis and
New Orleans Packet Company, that
own ed the State Of Missouri, insist tha.
they have reports from their officers on
the wrecked steamer stating that the
boat and entire cargo arc total loss,
but they do not believe any passengers
were lost. 1t is impossible to
get track OF all who reached
either bank OF the river, but they
report that tho officers are OF the opin-
ion that all the passengers will be ac-
counted ior. One OF the pilots tele-
graphed his family here that they had
II hard time getting to shore, but that
no lives wero lost. The State OF Mis-

Laidley aad Captain Wise. say they are
safe and that no lives we're lost.
Tho EnQuirer's special says five men
were rescued tonight below the scene
OF the wreck. They had been clinging
to trees. Tho Commercial Gazetts's
special says seven passengers we're
picked up in bad condition at Hawes-
willie. Ky. Advices to both OF these
papers up to 1880 indicate that no lives
were lost.

HOW THEY ESCAPED.

These passengers report that the boat
struck rock near the stern and gave a
sudden lurch forward. A yawl was
launched, but SO many people crowded
upon it that it WAS soon sunk. AS tho
boat lurched again, n second yawl was
put OFT from the sinking boat in which
four women passengers and some OF the
cabin passengers managed to get places.
Leathers never swan before, but he
managed to keep aioat until he reach
ed the willows. He saw four men
drowned near him but was powerless to
act. One chambernald WAS picked up
BY boat from farm house near and
several rescued passengers were picked
up further on and taken up to Lloyds-
vile by tho steamer Tell City. One
yawl that was upset By frantic passen-
gers was full OF women and children
and all are thought to be lost. There
were fifteen cabin and thirty deck pas
sengers and crew OF sixty on board.
The surviving passengers think that n.
least thirty-tive were lost. The cabin
and upper works OF the boat floated
away.
The Texas and pilot house were towed
ashore at Rockport.
The City OF Owensboro got out part of
tho freight from the cabin deck. Mr..
Gregory recovered his overcoa,, which
he had left behind when the boa. sunk.
In less than ten minutes from the time
the boat struck she had gone down. At
Rockport and here, as we'll a. at all in.
,ermediate points, tho bank is lined
with skitfs picking UP pieces OF furni-,
ture and watching for dead bodies, but
the current is too swift for small crafts
to got out lar. No names Of those
drowned can be learned here.
The boat ia a total loss.

Mr.. Quay again offered bis amend

bill the provision that nothing in
tue law should preclude any court
having jurisdiction from hearing

tionality or validity of the act.

against it and the chair (Galliueer)
sustained it.

agents was amended 0t the sugg es.
