Steamer Stranded.

Fire Island, N. Y, June l0.-Three
hundred and nine passengers on the big
Spanish liner Antonio Lopez we're taken
from that ship 10 the power life boat
saving crew at QuOgue during the
morning hours, today, and landed on the
wreckiDg ing Chapman.
They were transferred to the revenue
cutters Mohawk and Seneca for transfer
TOT New York. They we're a terribly
frightened. hystericsl crowd as they
gathered on the decks of the revenue
cutter, aud it required almost violence
to control them. Their nerves had
been rscked by their experience through
out the night when the Lopez hung on
the sands ofFire Island, shivering and
driven farther and farther on the sandy
shore by giant seas that broke over the
steamer.
While the passengers we're in no real
danger, they did not know this. and all
forts on the part OF Captain Mir snd
his crew to reassure the men and women
failed utterly. Ia fact, there we're a
number of times when it became neces-
ssry to forcibly restrain some of the
women passengers from jumping into the
seething waters which swirled about the
vessel, aud finally all passengers were
driven into the main saloon aud the
doors locked on them. There they re.
manned excitedly screaming and praying
while the crew on deck was endeaVOr-
iUg to get into communication with the
shore.
While The liner is in no particular
dagger, it is feared that rehosting her
will be slupendons task. During the
night she was driven hard upon the
sands aud has not moved any to the pres
sure from the tugs.

IT WAS an unfortunate thing for this

That a revision downward was mean
aud expected cannot be truthfully de-
MED but those who favored "a revision
of the tariff by its friends" are 10 tht
saddle 10 Congress snd instead OF lower
inc duties they sre engaged in framing
bill that will increase them and, sad tt

are being assisted by men sent to Cor

ing relieved of the burden under which
they have rested for so long time the

Better it would have been for the cOun-

for amendments for reduced duties his
action did not indicate that they were
satisfactory. As it was impossible,
however, for the democrats to have the
duties reduced properly they would sup
port the lowest rates submitted to vote.
Mr.. Delivers amendment was lost 81
