In North River y. Number CT Lives
Lost Not Known.

New York, October 31.-The Pennsyl-
vania ferry boat Chicago. running be-
tween Jersey City and New York, was
gusta, Of the Savannah Line. at 1875
this Tuesday morning, on the New
York side Of the North river. She went
down in seven or eight minutes. There
were between thirty and forty people
aboard. 1t is supposed that several
persons were drowned, though there is
no positive proof of this.
Estimates made by persons who sue
ceeded in escaping vary widely. some
think It possible that no loss of life
resulted, while others believe that at
lease a score of persons were drawn
into the vortex as the ferry boat Junk.
August WindebOrn, of Jersey City.
was one of those in the mems cabin.
He had just time to catch up a life
preserver and leap overheard before
the boat went down. He said that men
and women and some children were in
the water all about him. He succeed
ed in making his way to the Liberty
street dock.
The steamboat squad, a few minutes
before 2 o'clock, found a body which,
it is supposed is that Of one of the pas
sengers on the ferry boat, drowned as
the result Of the collision.
Mr.. II. w. Bible, of this city, jump
ed overheard with a life preserver. He
saw four women struggling in the
water near him, but was nable TO
help them. He was picked up by a
life boat and taken ashore. Search
lights are being used in the work Of
rescue. A number of tugs and some
boats have been secured. Everything
is being done possible under the Cir
cumstances to pick up persons from
the water. One boat brought in six
men, two women and a child.
Oscar Watson, of the Associated
Press, who was unable to secure a
life preserver, and who swan ashore
was one Of the few passengers able to
give a coherent account of the accident.
He said:
1--WE were just about to enter the slip
when we were run down. There were
about forty people on the ferry boat
beside the crew. l saw -four women
and one little boy. The latter was with
his father, who appeared to be an
italian.
Il should think the boat sank within
sever minutes. | did not get a life
Dr~eserver. but when l saw she was
going down, plunged overheard and
swan for the shore. Five men swan
alongside of me. There was a strong
ebb tide. The water was very cold.
The current was SO strong that it al
most carried us down stream"
Captain Durham commanded the fer
ry boat Chicago. He succeeded in
making his escape. He says that he has
accounted for all the members of his
crew except Fireman Fromme. He
thinks that FrOmme was either drown
ed or crushed to death in the stoke
hole.

dent Hobart, who has been i'll for
weeks at his home in Patterson, N. j.,
suffered a relapse this morning. He
had a succession of choking spells, re-
sulting from an imperfect action of the
heart, an old affiction, complicated
with inflammation of the stomach. Mr..
Hobart has not been able to attend
Ito his private affairs for the past two
or three days, and an intimate friend
has been given power of attorney to
sign checks and attend to other matters
of that character.
One of the physicians in attendance,
at 6 o'clock tonight, said that while
the condition of Mr.. Hobart was seri-
Gus, he was better than ait any time
within the past twenty-four hours.
AT 1880 O'Clock p. m. news came
from the sick room of Vice President
Hobart that he was conscious n able
to recognize those about the bedside.
1t was stated that no early change for
the worse need be expected.

SOUTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON
No Special Orders to be Given to Adj
miraI Schley.

Washington, October 30.-Secretary
Long today said that he did not con-
template making any change in Ad-
miral Schley's orders. So far, they are
nothing more than a direction to take
charge of the South Atlantic station.
The date will be finally fixed when it
is known exactly how soon the Chicago
will ready for sea.
Nothing has been decided by the de-
partment as to the dispatch of n or
more warships to South Africa. Secre-
tary Long pointed out that that sec
ton of the world is within the geo.
graphical bounds of the South Allan
tic station. Therefore Admiral Schley
will be at perfect liberty to go there,
or anywhere else on the. southern trip
after he takes m No order
from the department will be necessary
in such cases.
Respecting the mooted increase of
the strength of the South Atlantic
squadron, the secretary said that he
would not hesitate to increase the num-
Der of the ships on the station if there
were any necessity for it. So far, the
necessity has not appeared, and, there
fore, it was not contemplated to have
more than the three vessels-ChicagO,
Montgomery and Wilmington-On the
station.

RAPID RAILROAD BUILDING.
Southern and Seaboard Have Great

Two great southern railroad systems

railway history of the country. The
Seaboard is building from Cheraw to
Columbia, so miles, n from Columbia
to Caceys three miles, hut this three
miles is all trestling and includes a 500
foot steel bridge over the Congaree
river. At Cacey'S it connects with its

annah and the south. This latter road
has no bridge of it's own over the Con-
garee, it's entrance to this city having
been over the S%outhern's bridge and
tracks.
The Southern is building from Cacey's
to Perry's, on the Western Carolina,
thirty miles, where it will ave connec-
ton with Savannah and the south via
the Western Carolina, which it has ac-
quired, and the Plant system, from
Yemassee to Savannah. The Southern

Necessary to Bring the Friars to Prop
er Appreciation of American Author
ify

Washington, October 30.-The navy
department has received a report from
Captain Leary. the naval governor of
the island OF Guam. in the Ladrones,
which has excited a good deal of inter-
est among the officials to whom il has
been exhibited. The president himself
mas read the report. his interest being
particularly attracted by the d~isclos-
ure or the fact that the first American
governor has already been obliged TO
ADOPT heroic measures TO insure a prop
er administration of affairs there. Cap
tain Leary soon learned that his au-
thOrlty as governor was being subvert-
ed n every n of the measures of
reform which he proposed was being
defeated by the hostile influence of the
frlars. They resiSted every decree no
matter OF what character from a spirit
of intense conservatism. and a belief
that any disturbance of the order of
things which had governed the island
for 50 many years would cause them
TO lose their hold upon the natives. At
ter exhauSting all other means to over
come this influence, Captain Leary re-
ports that was obliged ito notify
half a dom of the friars that they
might have Tree transportation away
from Guam and he should expect them
to avail themselves of the offer. That
left but n friar in the island, and he
was a man whose character and repu-
tatiOn was such as to convince Cap
tain Leary of his fitness to remain.
