Cambria of the Windsor, Detroit. and 500 line,
which left Detroit on Tuesday noon with 100
passengers for Sault Ste. Marie. was wrecked
this morning on Lake Huron. three miles north
of Sarnia. The vessel ran into a drift Of logs
which had broken away from a raft. Her
paddles were broken and then her machinery
became disabled. Tho passengers were excited
greatly, but at daylight this morning all were
safely landed on the beach and are now at
Sarnia. The Cambria lies on a sandy bottom ex-
posed to a high west sea, and had begun to go to
pieces before the last passenger was taken off.
The creaking Of tho logs as they rubbed against
the hull of the vessel added to the terror OF the
passengers.
The steamer Cambria was a side-wheel vessel
of 900 tons. 1t was refitted and refurnished
last spring and some increase made in accom-
modations for passengers. 1t had large, roomy
cabins and staterooms, and has been carrying
many passengers northward this summer She

Ontario line. In 1888 she was rebuilt and
heightened 80 feet. She was again rebuilt in
1889. She is now valued at $1,000. but is not
insured for more than $4,000.

WARRINGTON, July 2s.-President McKinley's
iong-expected order creating n new tariff of con-
sular fees was made public at the State Depart
ment to-day. 1t II 10 take effect on Oct. /. The
principal thing of note in connection with the
tariff 10 that II docs not mention tho invoice
feos, which have in the past formed so large q
proportion Of the receipts Of the Consuls in tho
British dominions. Whether or not these will
DO covered by q subsequent order is not known,
but as the practice Of the Consuls In Great Brit
ain has always been unauthorized by the con-
sular regulations, II is the impression that the
order of Secretary olney of Oct. 81, 1896, en-
phatically prohibiting the Consuls from having
any part or interest In such fees, will remain in
force.
The tariff just published covers official fees Of
all kinds, mostly relating to services to owners
OF vessels and their senmeu. Generally speak
ing, these. fees have been increased about 100
per cent; but ms American vessels, by the terms
from their payment, tho increase will not mate.
