WRECK OF THE ST. NAzAlRE.

OF Eiehty-two Psssepgers Who Sailed
from New York to West Indief. Four
Survive.
New York, March 1S.-Out of the |
80 persons comprising the crew and |
passengers of the steamer Vile de st.
Nazaire, which sailed from this port |
on March 6 for Port Au Prince, Hayti,
only four are known to have survived
the disaster which befell the craft
about forty-eight hours later. These
four passed an experience such as has
fortunately fallen to the lot of few,
seeing one after another Of the 81
Others who left the steamer in the
large boat perish of exposure to the
cold or die Of hunger, come suffering
during the seven days in which they
drifted helplessly, without sail or COM
pass. panRs that drove them to mad
ness before death came to their relief.
Among the survivors is Senior TaRado,
a San DOMINICAN, who was compelled
to witness the death of his wife and
four children without being able to
alleviate their sufferings. What be-
came of the forty-seven persons be-
sides those mentioned can be too well
surmised, although there is a remote
possibility that one or more OF the
three boats in which they left the sink
ing steamer in the midst of the fierce
March storm, off the always
perilous Cape Hatteras, has been
picked up by q sailing vessel which
has not yet made . port and made
known the rescue. The other known
survivors besides Tagado. are Captain
Berri, Mr.. Stauts, the third engineer,
and the ships doctor Marie.
The St. Nazaire was one Of the West
Indian fleet of the French trans-At-
lantic Steamship Company, and piled
between this and Indian ports, COM
manded by Captain Jaqueman. She
cleared from New York for Port De
ing day, according to the story told BY
one of the survivors, . leak was dis.
covered, hut it was not thought to b.
! lsufficiently serious to warrant re-
turn to port. BY the middle of tn
second day, however, the leak had in
.. creased to dangerous extent
and portion Of the vesse
was damaged by the waite
which had CONNIE need to pour in grea
, quantities. A terrible storm arose Of
). the night of the second day, and tn
! heavy seas together with the BIZ
!, leak rendered the escape Of the vesse
' from shipwreck an impossibilit.
= Realizing that the ship was doomed
!. the captain ordered the four life boat
y to be lowered, and into them crowde
y the passengers and crew. The boat
were soon swept apart by the win
and waves. The boat which was foun
- by the Hilda, six days after the sinl
y ing of the steamship is the only one
W the four that has been heard of.

TIVE Kinds Of Populate.

The Topeka Advocate has discov-
cred two kinds of Populists in the
Kansas legislature. They tried the
same game in this State, but the
"other kind" were promptly kicked
out of the party. If the two old par
ties had adopted such a policy when
two or three "kinds" of Democrats
and Republicans turned up, there
would never have been any need of
q new party. But they neglected
the wedding out process until both
parties wero dominated by several
kinds of people other than real Dem
ocrats or real Republicans. If the
Populiststs will continue to expel
the traitors, . great and useful party
will be the outcome; otherwise il

The annual appropriation bills, in

On this head, February 9th last

p,rlts of the railway mail subsidies

Ouch as all these cars are worth
