coast. lt is claimed, however, that steam was gotten up on the Fieetwing. and If this be the case she no doubt sought safety at Sledge island. Capt Jacob Lindanger is master Of the | iect- wing, and Henry /insmaster engineer. The fleetwng was sold a.iew days ago by Capt. Don r.. Johnson 10 F. B. Barthrop.
 The whereabouts of the small steam CTS Lily.ahd the Louise as well as a punrher of other small vessels. is un- known. At 9 o'clock Thursday evening the Louise was in the ruadstcad with d cargo of goods for solomon river. She has not been seen since.
 DaniIoff's Body.
 A dead body supposed to bethat of Capt. Danilof was found this morning at $ o'clock by Sylvanie San .Soucy about three miles this side of Penny river. MT. San Soucy lives in cabin S3. and this morning he saw the body just at the edge of the water. The body was naked except for an undershirt, and this was pulled over the head. San SOuCy did not view the face. but with the aid of q neighbor, wrapped the body in 6 blanket and placed it in boat on the beach. San Soucy then came to town and reported the ghastly find to George F. Everton, who, in turn, noti- fled Commissioner Reed.
 MT. Ey orton. who was a partner of Capt. Danilotf in the ownership of the C0j@ Hope. says that Capt. Daniloif had at least Sl, loo on his persona. He left Mr. Ev rtOn's house at o clock Thursday eyening and boarded the schooner.
 The lite-Saving apparatus, whi, h has never been put together for the reason that during the busy season it has been practically impossible to got meu to de vote their time to the work. without pay, is now being put in shape, Sesnon Liebes having sent a crew of thor oush sailors to put it together.
 Louis Lane tried to get boat to go to the rescue of Daniotf and Slater, but was unable to do so. He states that if he could have gotten q boat, he could have saved the men, as he had crew.

 to Procedure.

 In making the canvass the view has been presented to Republican members that tarit> revisions such as those pro posed bv Mir Babcock might be left for determination of a Republican caucus subsequent to the passage of the war revenue reduction bill Those fully ad- vised as to the canvass say it has shown q sentiment favorable to such caucus consideration of all tariff amendments thus leaving the war revenue reduction hill to be passed as reported.
