Trusts. Encourage Extravaganza and
Lead to Dishonest Expenditures.
Washington, March 23.-The first
day of the tariff debate in the house
was rather tame from both spectacular
and an oratorical standpoint. The gall
leries We're filled all day and the mem
bers on the floor listened Conscientious
ly, but there was an absence both of
that sharp cross firing which keeps the
nerves on edge and the brilliant elo-
quence which inspires and holds the
Imagination. The opening of the de-
bate was delayed over two hours by the
full reading of the bill of 1862 pages.
and this, to begin with, had some
what depressing influence. The. speak
ers were Mr.. Dingley for the Republic

for the Democrats. The Democratic
leader, Mr.. Bailey, has decided to close
the debate for his side.

an exciting and heroic scene all the
members of the crew of six were saved
by the life savers of the neighboring
station.

premises that the schooner was driven

is schooner of small tonnage, and was
bound from Baltimore to New York

and fastened to arouse the life savers
of the village. The brave surfmen
turned out in full force. and speedily

they could depend to save the lives

In the fitful CLEAN of the rockets, by
which they sought to throw line over
the deck of the schooner, the crew
could be seen clinging to the shrouds,
waving their arms with frenzied ges-
lures towards the shore. Huge waves
were dashing over the deck and threat
ening at every moment to sweep the
sailors from the rigging.
After several attempts well direct
ed rocket carried line clear over the
wrecked vessel. BY dint of great ex-
ertion the crew and captain managed
to manipulate the line so that they
hauled on board the breaches buoy fix

this means they were brought to safety,
| one by one. In the. driving rain, and
hidden at times by the spray that shot
over the cradle, they were hauled to

While the work of rescue was under
progress the entire village of Seabright
had been aroused, and the shore was
lined with women and men. who cheer
