COLLISION ON THE LAKE.
The Steamer Virginia and Her Pa ssengers
Had Narrow Escape.

CHICAGO, June Ga gaping hole in
the black side of the Goodrich line
steamer Virginia, just above the aft
gangway, tells of the narrow escape the
steel lake greyhound and 200 passengers
had from being central figures in ter
rible lake tragedy. While the Virginia
was returning from Milwaukee late
at night she came into collision with
the schooner Mary A. McGregor.
A thick fog prevailed at the time
which rendered objects invisible at q
distance of few feet A panic on
board the Virginia followed, and a rush
for the upper decks was made by the
terrified passengers. The quick COM
mand of Captain Stein, who was on the
bridge, i'll altering the course of the
steamer, just as the two vessels came
together, prevented a horrible disaster
As it was, there is a large hole in the
side of the steamer, while the schooner
had her bowsprit carried away and was
otherwise badly damaged by the COLI.

The schooner was bound from Racine
to Milwaukee. Captain Stein said that
the collision was unavoidable. The
Virginia, he said, was running slower
than usual, and to this fact he tributes
her escape from laundering.

RE LIEF WORK IN ST. LOUIS.
A More Cheerful Aspect in the Storm
Ridden Districts,

Ridden Districts,
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-Affairs in the
storm-rldden district of the two cities
are taking on a more cheerful aspect.
The first rush for relief is over and
there is evidence of general improve
ment in the condition of tornado suffer
ers at the district relief stations. There
is a noticeable decrease in the number
of applicants for aid and it is the eX-
pressed belief that the stations in St.
Louis will soon be closed.
With the abandonment of the district
stations, however, the relief work will
be far from finished Whatever remains
from the general fund will be left in the
keeping of the Merchants Exchange
committee, who will continue the work
wherever necessary. The relief fund
continues to grow until it has reached
$lS3,5Sl. In all parts of the tornado
district houses are being made habitable
once more and demolished dwellings
are being rebuilt.
In East St. Louis the work of restora-
ton goes on steadily and there is no
abatement of the relief committees
work. Many people who were COM
PEELED to live i'll tents until their de-
molished homes are repaired are becom.
ing accustomed to their new environ.
ments. In some places tenants live in
boxcars.
William Collin, popular engineer on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, who
was injured in the storm, has died at
the home of friend of his wounds.
None of the patients in the hospitals
have died in the past two DAYS and ac-
cording to the statements of attending
physicians, no more fatalities will be re-
ported from these institutions.
Mrs. j. H. Ramsey, sister-in-law TO
d. G.. Ramsey, ex-chief of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers, died at her
home in East st. Louis. Mrs. Ram
sey's death was due to the heroic efforts
she made in rescuing her husband from
the ruins of the Vandalia freight house
on the night of the recent tornado. Mr..
Ramsey still hovers between life and
death. Mrs. Ramsey's body will he
shipped to Vinton, Ia, for burial.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Mr. Morgan
gave the senate spirited revival of the
Cuban question yesterday, after which
most Of the day was spent in waiting
for conference agreements OH appropri-
alton bills. Mr.. Morgan urged the
adoption Of his resolution calling on the

Mr.. Morgan declared that congress
should not adjourn without authorizing
the president 10 send warships 10 Cuba

session where, after further argument
by Mr.. Morgan, his resolution was
placed on the calendar, parliamentary
move equivalent to poisoning action.
After a brief period of tilibustering
the immigration bill was made the un-
finished business of the senate, although
the debate on it was not begun.
The question of electing senators by
the people was discussed by Senators
Mitchell, Perkins, Chandler, Palmer
and Hawley. Mr.. Palmer took occasion
to savagely denounce machine rule in
politics, particularly i'll his own state Of
Illinois and TO express his opposition

The people of the United Kingdom Of

The people of the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland continue to
sustain the reputation of being very re-
bust drinkers. They number at the
present time 80, 100000, and the tot~'
cost of their wine. beer and alcoholic
liquors, divided by this sum, shows
an average expenditure of $lS.1S per
annum for every man, woman and child
in the realm. Contrary to the general
impression, the English drink more
than thu Scotch, and the Irish less than
either. The ratio of the English ex-
penditure for drink is s194O, the Scotch
$14.70 and the Irish $13.12 per head per
annum. These at least were the figures
of 1895, which seems to be considered
a banner year in drink annals-a cir
cumstance which inquirers Of the tenn
,Yerance persuasion attribute to the &C.
4urence of the parliamentary elections.
The entire drink bill Of the kingdom
for last year reached the impressive
total of $712,07O,OO0. OF this amount
$203, 500, 900 went for spirituous liquors
mostly whisky and gin; So, 100000 for
wines; $435 100000 for beer, ale and
porter, and $7.5OO,0O0 for cider and bev-
erages. Liberal as this expenditure
may seem, the general average Of liquor
consumption in England tends to de-
crease. In the ten years, 1S61-7O the
consumption Of beverages Of the spirit
nous class was 0.941 gallon per head Of
the population per annum; in the fol-
lowing ten years it rose to 1.19O gallons,
FILLING again duf1ng the ten years end
ing with 1890 to 09SS gallon. So with
wines, the consumption for the first
period was 0.4s0, for the second 0.G2,
and for the third 0.SSS gallon per head
per annum. OF malt liquors the aver
age annual consumption for the first
period was 27.s5, for the second 31.55
and for the third 27.77 gallons per head.
The most potent influence in dimin-
ishing the consumption of liquor in
England are scarcity Of work and low
wages.
