STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
State of New York Damaged, But the
200 Passengers Escaped.

Cleveland. o., July GA disastrous
collision occurred in the lake three
miles from the mouth of the river
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning.
The passenger steamer State of New
York is badly damaged, almost all the
upper works on the port side having
been swept away by the PROV of the
whaleback Henry Cort, bound in.
The State of New York left her moor
fngs shortly after midnight bound for
Toledo. She carried about 200 passen-
gers.
The big whaleback steamer Henry
Cort was due to arrive with a tow and
expecting her hourly. the tug l.. z.
Smith left the mouth of the river, fol-
lowing close after the State of New
York. When about three miles from
shore Captain Ed Dalk of the tug,
heard a deafening crash. He at once
proceeded to the steamer, finding her
badly disabled and taking aboard a
number of passengers, with whom he
returned TO the harbor.
The whaleback had struck the pas
senger boat near the paddles, which it
demolished and then swept away the
upper works for some distance.
1t is a remarkable fact that no one
was injured in the slightest, although
20 persons were conversing on the deck
near the railing that was demolished.
Soon after the collision, the big pas
senger steamer began to list badly,
showing the seriousness of the disas-
ter. Two tugs were sent to the rescue
of the boat and she was towed into the
river. The cause of the collision has
not yet been determined.

General Freight Agent Henry of the
Rio Grande Western was besieged yes
terday by committee appointed at re-
cent meeting of the Miller's association
of this state, the gentlemen calling for
the purpose of registering a large kick
against the grain and -four rates east and
west, which they claim are such as to
shut them out of competing with coast
millerS and flour men in the state of Colo
RADIO.
Accordingto the statements made, the
Western makes rates on wheat of 10 cents
per 100 pounds from the Sanpete. valley
to Grand Junction and at the same time
charges a rate of so cents per 100 pounds
on flour, which the millers claim is tanta-
mount to shutting them out of the market
in that direction.
Nor is this all 1t is claimed there is
rate of 20 cents per 100 pounds on grain
from this state to San Francisco and at
the same time there is a rate of Y cents
per 100 pounds on -four. This, it is as
serted, is depriVing Utah milierS of COM
peting with the millers on the western
coast and is shutting them out of the
foreign market.
THE condition is such that we feel
there should be a change made, said one
of the committee to a Herald man yes
terday. We tried entering the foreign
market and sent flour TO Hongkong, where
ii was pronounced the best that had ever
entered the market, and where we would
soon have worked up a good trade, but
for the fact that because of the excessive
rates we were compelled to abandon the
project because we lost money on what
we did send away. There are hundreds
of thousands of dollars invested in mill
ing in this state and We feel that this
discrimination should cease. We have
laid the matter before Mr. Henry and
have asked him TO do something with it.
1t is something which Utah is interested
in, for il means many thousands of dol
lars each year to the millers and their
employees and assistants.
Mr.. Henry was not disposed to say
much concerning the matter, claiming the
meeting was simply a general tax upon
ton, but that the subject will be dis
cussed in railroad circles soon, with
view to the adjustment of the same, is
certain.
Traffic men in the city have said that
the rates as stated were scarcely fair and
express the opinion they will be adj
iuSted

SIMPSONS Attempt to Claim Credit Is

Spanish forces in Cuban waters, for
highly distinguished conduct in con-
fiict with the. enemy, as displayed by
him in the destruction of the Spanish

hibited by them on that occasion.
Sec. 3. That the president of the
United States be requested to cause
this resolution TO be communicated to
Commodore Schley, and through him
to the officers and men under his
command"
Commenting on the resolution. Mr..
Pettigrew said the impression had been
conveyed to the public that not Com
modore Schley, but another man." had
achieved the great success. Il know"
declared he, 1--WE shall be obliged to
remove that impression by absolute
proof to the contrary. All the ac-
counts of the battle agree that Com
modore Schley was in command of the
vessels of our fleet. He pursued the
last of the Spanish vessels 60 miles
and personally brought to an end the
most remarkable naval duel ever
fought
Mr.. Stewart Of Nevada thought Ad-
miral Sampson had been unfortunate
in the wording of his official announce
ment of the victory, and in not giving
in that dispatch the credit due to
Commodore Schley. He thought it had
been due to Schley that the credit be
