BIG VESSEL AGROUND.
The WesternIand Strikes Shoals With
 1000 Persons Aboard.

Cape May, N. J., June 11.-With more than 1000 persons on board the American line steamship Westernland, from Liver pool and Queenstown for Philadelphia. is hard aground on the south shoals near the entrance to Delaware Bay The big steamer struck the shoals about 1015 o'clock this morning as it was about to enter the bay on the north side. The shoals are about four miles off the Cape May shore, and one mile north of the Overfalls Lightship. Although the Wes- ternland is hard aground the vessel lies in an easy position, and strong hope is entertained that the steamer will be float ed with the assistance of tugs at high tide early in the morning
 There are aboard 72 cabin and TO steer age passengers and a crew of 250. While some of the more timid ones were greatly wrought up with fear of something hap penfng they were easily assured that there was no need of worry, and there was practically no excitement among the passengers.
 L.ife-saving crew No. 60 under Capt James w. Eldridge, went out to the steamers assistance and will remain aboard until the vessel is floated

WILL CARRY WATER
 BY THE TRAINLOAD
NEW ORLEANS IS SUFFERING FROM INTENSE HEAT-PRISON- FRS IN CITY JAlLS ARE PARoLED AT NIGHT.

New Orleans, June II 1.-Arrangements to carry drinking water by train load from New Orleans to Milneberg, a fishing vil- lage about ten miles from nere on Lake Ponchartrain were made today in response to an appeal from the tw0 hundred in habitants of that place.
 The water famine is in part due to the prolonged hot wave from which New Orleans and vicinity has been suffering for week, although it has caused no deaths yet.
 For three months there has been little rainfall here and the heat hastened the rapid diminution of the water supply in cisterns from which the drinking supply, both of Milenbery and thousands of fam lies of the poor in New Orleans is taken.
 Temperatures have daily risen to about 90 with 92 the highest recorded by the United States weather bureau today. This week for the first time in the citys his tory an order goes into effect to parole prisoners at night from the ctiy hall.

 The conference report was accepted. however. regardless of this opposition and that of other senators, the expression of which consumed the greater part of the days session. The particular conference provisions to which objections were made, were those relating to the enrolment Of the Choctaw Indians. the settlement of the claim of ex-Senator Butler of North Carolina and other attorneys in connec- ton with the ColVille reservation in Washington and the adjustment of the business of A. J. Brown as admnistra- tor of certain minor Seminole Indian children.
