me. Too" in the Senate Again.


When Congress meets in special session in
March there will be in the Senate gentleman
who resigned his seat in thai body about six
teen wears ago. II will be Mr.. Thomas G..
Platt. Of New York, who followed Mr.. Conk-
line's lead and resigned, because President
Garfield did not live up TO the Mentor
Agreement and did not distribute the patron
ace as was contracted for Mr.. Conkling ex-
pected TO DC re elected, and so did Mr.. Plat.
The designations we're grand stand per-
formances, but the Republicans Of the Leg
islature took Conkling and Plat literally, and
sent Others to the Senate in their stead.
Mr.. Plat for some years was known as
..me, too, and was cartooned as pigmy
standing beside Conkling. He is bigger
man now than then, and has firm hold on
one of the most magnificent political machines
that was ever owned by boss. Mckinley
cannot afford TO ignore man who has sew
enty two delegates in national convention,
neither can he afford to have Plat and a
.sme. too. resign and go home. The most
favorable calculations give the Republicans
a majority of one, counting the vote Of the
Vice President, and the Republican policy of
Protection can not be carried ont, and the
fat fried out be returned, unless Mr.. Plat
and his ''me, too. stay in their seats.
Mr.. Mckinley should m axe note OF this
and see to it that the great New York Sena-
tor is not offended in the distribution Of pa

Wreck of a Troopship.

LONDON, ENGLAND, Jan. PA despatch
from Port Louis, Island of Mauritius, furnishes
particulars of the wreck of the British indian
troopship Warren Hastings. which was wreck
ed off the Island of Reunion on Thursday,
January IA. The ship ran ashore at 2.20 a.
m. 1t was pitch dark, and torrents of rain
were falling She had on board soldiers and
crew to the number of ,232 men, in addition
to number of women and children, the fam
lilies of the married men of the military force.
When the ship struck, the troops were or
dered to retire from the upper deck, TO which
they had hocked on the first alarm, and to fall
in below. This they did promptly, the most
perfect discipline prevailing, although the
men were fully conscious Of the danger which
they were in. They were quietly mustered on
the 'tween-decks without confusion or excite
ment Owing to the fact that the surf boats
could not be used in landing the troops, two
officers of the Warren Hastings were lowered
from the ships bow to the rocks, and when
it was found that landing could be effected
in this way, the Decentralization of the soldiers
was commenced at four O clock, Commander
Holland hoping it was safe to retain the
women, children and the sick on board until
daylight But the steamship was soon found
to be heelng over so rapidly that every one
was ordered to the upper deck, the danger of
capsizing being imminent. Thereupon he
ordered the landing of the troops TO be stopp-
ed, in order that the women, children and
sick persons should be landed Immediately.
This order was obeyed with admirable disci-
pIine. By five oclcch the decks had heeled
over to an angle of ifty degrees to the star
board, and the boats we're all swept away.
The good swimmers were then permitted to
swim ashore, carrying ropes. By these means
many others were landed, and the disembark-
alton Of all on board was completed by $50
a. M. with the loss of only two native ser
wants. Many acts of gallantry were recorded.
