THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
DOCKED AT SOUTHAMPTON.
The Palatial Steamer St. Louis Makes a
Very Successful Voyage.
Southampton, June 13. The St.
Lol is, the new palatial steamer which
has just made a very successful maiden
voyage across the oceau, was docked at
sa. m. The early hour prevented the
intended reception.
The program of entertainment on
board included recitations by John
Drew and Rowland Buckson. Many
ladies appeared in full dress.
Such are some of the incidents of
this important trip which are reported
by the special representative of the As
sociated Press on board the St. Louis.
Hon. Clayton McMichael, editor of
the Philadelphia North American, who
was a passenger on board, said:
“The City of Brotherly Love has good
reason to be proud of this grand ship.
When she does make an effort she will
prove a record breaker.”
Mr. Towne, the representative of the
Cramps, said:
“I am thoroughly satisfied that the
vessel is in every way as good as we
could wish to build, and the trip has
proved that we have carried out our
conti act.”
Comment on the Trip.
Southampton, June 13 —Mr. Henry
White, commenting on the perform
ance of the St. Lonis on her maiden

shipbuilding in the United States.”
F. C. Masterson, of Memphis, Tenn.,
remarked:
“Great interest is taken in the St.
Louis’ performance on her first trip by
the people of my section of the coun
try, I think there is no doubt that her
success will stimulate the building of
other ocean liners in America.”
HIGH WATER MARK.
A Sound Money Mnn Say* It Has Been
ReHChed by tlin Free Silver Craze.
New York, June 13.—Gustav H.
Schwab, chairman of the executive
committee of the sound money commit
tee of the chamber of commerce of the
city of New York, said, concerning the
chamber’s crusade against free silver:
“The higil water mark of the silver
craze has evidently been reached. The
most significant thing to emuhasize
this fact is the action of the Populist
state convention at Des Moines, la., at
which General James B. Weaver and
his followers, who represented the rad
ical wing of the party, were completely
turned down by the more conservative
elements
“The one cheering thing of the whole
fight is that the populist party is disin
tegratinsi. and that soutrtl sense is find
ing a foothold among the farmers. The
campaign of education is bearing fruit,
and unless all signs fail, before the
presidential election occurs next year
the rampant silverites will be routed
horse and foot.
“Both political parties are making
bids for the sound- money sentiment
among the voters, and it is believed
that the buckeye state will be found iu
line with the easterners in this great
question.
"•Indiana shows a strong following of
sound money men and the indications
are that Senator Voorhees, the champi
on of free silver will have a hard time
to convince the honest farmers of hiS
state that 50 cents can be made into a
dollar.
“The fiasco of the socalled Spring
field' ‘convention’ in Illinois has proved
a damper on the hopes and expectations
oft he silverites. ”
AN AMERICAN SEALER,
It Is Alleged She Had Been Stealing Na
tive Hunting Crews.
Victoria, B. C., June 13.—For three
days Victoria sealers have been hurry
ing from customhouse to telegraph
office urging first the collector of cus
toms and. then the Canadian govern
ment to semi the Dominion steamer
Quadra after the American sealer Beh
ring Sea, somewhere on the west coast
of Vancouver island. The Behring
Sea, it is alleged, had been stealing na
tive hunting crews by offering higher
wages than they had signed for with
Victoria sealers, and the sealing men
were exceedingly angry.
Now after all the official red tapes
have been unwound, and the Quadra
has received orders to arrest and detain
the supposed offender, it is found that
she is peacefully lying in Seattle har
bor* whence she has not stirred for
weeks. Though somewhat disconcert
ed the sealers say it was only a mis
take In name. Some American schooner
had been doing eerjous mischief, and
the government will be asked to have
the Quadra patrol the west coast in
their interests.
They can pick up their Indian hunt
ing crews.

ROME, GA.. FRIDAY. JUNE 14. 1895.
THE TRADE IN IRON
Advance in Prices as Well as Wages
Reported.
BESSEMER PIG IRON HAS RISEN-
The Steady Advance in South
ern Iron Supported,
SOLID CODIIION OF FURNACES.
This Probably Opens the Way to Still High
er Rises in the Near Future o|
Our Output.
Cleveland, June 13. —The Iron Trade
Review says:
The week has brought the regular
quota of advances in prices and wages
to the iron and steel industry. Mahon
ing valley furuaceme* have granted
their employes a second increase of 10
per cent following the pace set in the
Shenango valley a few weeks ago, and
eastern steel works have announced
higher rates effective with July.
In pig iron, under continued buying,
Bessemer has risen to (11.80 in the val
ley, and (12.00 is expected by sellers as
the next stage in the advance, making
the Pittsburg price (12.65.
The most important development is
the renewed effort to make effective
what has been discussed at intervals
for several years in connection with the
leading pig iron producers of the south.
The establishment of a selling agency
and the allotment of the output witn
an agreed basis of prices for the differ
ent grades, it js reported that (7.50 for
gray forge at Alabama furnaces is the
figure talked of. The Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company, and the
Sloss Iron and Steel company are the
chief figures in the arrangement and it
is believed that shippers have sanction
ed a year’s arrangement.
The steady advance in southern iron,
amounting now to (1 00, has been sup
ported by the well sold condition of the
leading furnaces, and this condition
opens the way to still higher prices, so
that the difficulties such a move would
have encountered at any time in the
past two years are largely removed.
With the proposed advance in southern
iron, there would be no difficulty in
holding current prices on northern
foundry and forge irons and giving a
ftiargin beside for still higher prices,
especially if southern roads should put
their rates up correspondingly.
THE AMERICAN CREW,
Englishmen Do Not Seem to Fear the
Oarsmeh From Ithica.
London, June 13.—The Pall Mall
Gazette, commenting upon the per
formances of the Cornell crew since it
has been training on the Thames for
the Henley regatta, expresses the opin
ion that more than one English crew
will meet with little difficulty in de
feating the oarsmen from Ithica. Eng
lish oarsmen, it is added, do not believe
that the Cornell crew can row a stroke
of 46 to the minute without loss of
form.
The Echo, discussing the same sub
ject, says that it is not anticipated that
the Cornell crew will seriously threaten
the English crews, adding: “They row
a tremendously fast stroke; but they
fail to catch the water with effect. The
men sitting in a direct line cause the
craft to hang between strokes. Several
changes have been made in the crew
and there appears to be difficulty in
seating the men right.”
VICTORY FOR THE STATE.
lhe Court of Appeals Sustain* the Opin
ion of Judge Fields of Kentucky.
Frankfort, June 13.—The court of
appeals has affirmed the opinion of
Judge Fields of Louisville, in the case
of the Commonwealth vs. the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad company
The suit was brought under a section
of the constitution prohibiting the pur
chase of parallel lines of railroad and
was brought by the commonwealth to
restrain the Louisville and Nashville
from purchasing the Chesapeake, Ohio
and Southwestern railroad.
Governor Brown employed attorneys
in the case. He was delighted with the
decision and said that it was a great
victory for the state.
Negra Wife Murderer Hnnf.
Belvidere, N. J., June 13 —George

Father Neufeld la Dead.
New York, June ‘l3.— Information
has been received byway of Rome that
Father Neufeld, the priest for whose
release from captivity in the Soudan,
J. J. Coyle, of Pomona, Cal.. has begn

dead. No details are known. It is
about 13 years since father Neufeld
was made a prisoner by the Mahdists
with Father Lupton, who also is dead,
Father Rossignnoli and Slatin Bey,
who have both escaped, and others.
Washington, June 13.—Miss Dodge

ppssed a comfortable night. Represen
tative Hitt continues to improve slowly
and it is thought that he may be able
to sit up a short time during t>>® day. •
MEMPHIS MEETING.
The Second Days Session of the Great
Silver Convention.
THE VERY BUSY PROSPECT AHEAD.
Much Speculation as to Its
Scope of Declaration of
THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE
Senator Stewart Spike Yesterday and
Other Distinguished Speakers
Are Down For Addresses*
Memphis, June 13. —The silver ora
tors began their labors anew after a
good night’s rest. The second day’s
session of the great silver convention
opened with no sign of a diminution in
the supply of speeches, and it is doubt
ful if it will complete its labors before
late at night. A number of the dis
tinguished guests of tkie conference are
set down for speeches, and in addition
the most important business of the
meeting—the consideration of the re
port of the committee on resolutions—is
to be disposed of.
With this busy prospect before them
the silver men decided to begin their
work at 10 o’clock. This was rather
early for many of lhe delegates, and a
number from the neighboring towns in
Tennessee and Arkansas failed to re
turn on time. The attendance, howev
er, was almost up to the previous day,
for the men who go to make up this
body are not of the class of late sleep
ers.
Around hotel lobbies there was much
earnest discussion and speculation as to
the scope of the declarations to be re
commended by the resolutions commit
tee. Os the stand upon the question of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
—the main object—or, as Senator Har
ris was particular to put it, the sole ob
ject of the convention there is no doubt.
But the effect of the addition of seven
Populist members to the committee,
together with Senator Marion Butler of
North Carolina, and some of the radical
third party silver men of the west who
are nursiug the presidential aspirations
of Joseph C Sibley of Pennsylvania, is*
an uncertain quantity.
The conservative men, however, are
believed to control the committee and
the firm hand of Isham G. Harris,
which has been seen more than once in
the convention’s proceedings, will no
doubt stay any attempt to turn the con
vention into anything but what it was
originally intended to be—a massmeet
ing for the discussion of the free coin
age of silver.
At 10:15 o’clock the Rev Dr. Brooks
of Memphis opened the convention with
prayer, after which the arrival of a del
egate from Arizona and one from Kan
sas was announced.
Chairman Turpie then announced
that the committee on resolutions was
not ready to report nncLintroduced Sen
ator William H S ewart, who address
ed the conven tn.n
At the co <• ivion o’ his - r'''eth Sena
tor Stewar. w i- wum y <•<>» -ratulated.
There w.-raon! er < s tot- U. G. Van
Allen, of Missis.-ipi i, bur when it was
discovered that tnat ge.irb in m was not

H D. Money, of Mississippi, a silver
leader o. that state. Mr .11 >.ier began
by stating tiiat he wa- for s 1.-er from
head ro .oot and a Demo.-rar ah over.
He said the only thing rh.u stood in
the way of free silver w.i; r.io power of
the executive, lie bull. v-d that if a
Republican president han been elected
at the last election, the last senate and
house of representatives would have
passed a free silver law. It was pre
vented by the pressure of the adminis
tration.
At noon the committee on resolutions
was locked in the parlors of the Gayoso
hotel engaged in a discussion that is
sure to last the greater part of the day.
There is no likelihood of a report at the
morning session.
The injection of the Populist element
into the membership has caused trou
ble, though this trouble has as yet not
assumed a more serious form than the
necessity of listening to innumerable
speeches and voting down propositions
of the extiemists.
The Populists who were added to the
committee, with their allies in that
body as it was originally formed, are
making an earnett fight lor a declara
tion upon independent political lines.
Iu addition to this complication there
is the Sibley boom, which has been hov
ering over the convention siuoe it con
vened, and which has not yet been dis
posed of.
There is not much livelihood, how
ever, that the resolutions committee
will have to face a direct proposition to
endorse the candidacy of Mr. Sibley.
The men who are looking after that
gentleman's interest are much too clev
er to broach any such proposition.
There can be no doubt that the conser
vatives control the resolutions commit
tee; that that body will not only refuse
to be swung to the support of any
man’s presidential aspirations, but that
its declarations will be confined abso
lutely to an earnest appeal in the inter
est of the free coinage of silver. This
maybe said upon the authority of those
whose influence has from the start con
trolled this convention.
They are free silver men of years’
standing, but they believe in confining
the energies ot the monster meeting to
giving impetus to the agitation of free
coinage, to arouse the people to further
and more complete organization of the
advocates of free coinage throughout
the country. That their views will
mis may oe accoinpusneu uuiy aim
endless discussion and a hard fight.
There was considerable dissatisfac
tion among a number of influential
Democrats who are iu attendance upon
the convention, at the radical utter
ances of Congressman Sibley, his ap
peal for independent political action in
1896 and the obliteration of party ties.
The attempt to swing the gathering
into a People’s party boom, presumably
in Mr. Sibley’s personal interest, was
not relished by such men as Senator
Harris, Governor Clarke of Arkansas;
Mr. Vardaman, candidate for governor
of Mississippi; Colonel M. C. Galloway,
one of the oldest newspaper meu in the
south, and they were not slow in ex
pressing their disapproval.
There was some talk of a bolt of the
conservatives, but it was so obvious
that the People’s party men were so
hopelessly in the minority that they
were powerless that the sentiment had
not many exponents,
Governor John Gary Evans of South
Carolina is another opponent of the
“Sibley idea.” He said to the Associ
ated Press correspondent: “I believe
the proper policy to pursue is to capture
the Democratic convention. If the free
silver men capture the Democratic con
vention the gold bugs will secede and
go into the Republican party. They
can accomplish this, as was illustrated
by the recent action of the Illinois
Democratic convention.”
“If it became necessary, governor,
would you give up your Democracy for
free silver?”
“I would give up anything and go
anywhere for free silver if it became
necessary. The free silver Democrats
will not go into the Populist party, for
that is a stench in the nostrils of the
people. They will not go into the Re
publican party, and yet the Democratic
party under Cleveland is little better.”
Practically the same views are held
by Senator B. R. Tillman, whose
speech is expected to be one of the
events of the convention. His position
is for free silver—first, through the in
strumentality of the Democratic party,
if that be practicable; if not, by inde
pendent political action.
AGAINST THE JAPS.
The Chinese Black Flags Will Make a De
terinined Stand In Formosa.
London, June 13.—A special dispatch
from Shanghai says that a remnant of
the famous Black Flags is entrenched
at Chung Wa, island of Formosa, and
these Chinese warriors are expected to
make a determined stand asraiust the
Japanese, who are taking possession of
that island according to the terms of
the treaty of peace.
The special dispatch also says that a
British gunboat has beau ordered to the
Yang Tse Kiang.
The dispatch of the British gunboat
to the Yang Tse Kiang is said to be due
to the probability that trouble will en
sue there.
In conclusion the Shanghai dispatch
says that the Chinese ministers at Pe
king hold the officials of Cheng-Tu re
sponsible for a part of the outrages
against the foreign missionaries there.
The Island Formally Transferred.
Washington, June 13. —The formal
transfer of the Island of Formosa from
China to Japan is announced in a ca
blegram from the Japanese foreign
office to the legation here. It occurred
on June 3. but as there is no telegraphic
communication between Japan and
Formosa, the news was conveyed by a
dispatch boat.
Lord Li, son of Li Hung Chang, acted
for the Chinese, and it is believed that
Mr. John W. Foster was also present.
Admiral Kabayama acted in behalf of
Japan in receiving the new possession.
He is not the fleet commander, but is
governor general of the province.
The dispatch states that the Japa
nese forces had a minor engagement
with the Chinese on the island in which
the latter were repulsed with but a
slight loss to the Japanese. It adds
that a]J foreigners are safe and that the
natives welcome the arrival of the Jap
anese.
REFORMED PRESBYTERIANS
They Condemn the Government For Conn
tenanoing the Liquor Traffic.
Denver, June 13.—The synod of Re
formed Presbyterians adjourned at mid
night, and most of the delegates have
gone on a trip to Pike’s Peak.
The refusal of the New York presby
tery to organize a reform presbytery in
Cambridge, Mass., in response to a pe
tition from a congregation in that place
was overt-uled, and the petition of the
Cambridge people granted.
The committee on temperance report
ed very strong resolutions against the
sale or use of liquors and tobacco and
the report was adopted unanimously.
The government of the United States
was condemned for countenancing the
liquor traffic and the sole of narcotics.
The synod decided to enlarge its work
among the Indians in Oklahoma and
will endeavor to unite the small con
gregations and supply them with
preachers.
The report of the committee on Sab
bath observance, as submitted by Rev.
J. R. Wylie, was accepted and com
mented on most favorably. He con
demned Sunday mails, transportation,
newspapers, street cars and all kinds of
work, also the tendency to turn the
day into an occasion for merrymaking.
t The anprouriations adopted footed up
about (30,000.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE
By the Women and Children on the Col
ima.
A VIVID DESCRIPTION BY A BOY.
The Steerage Passengers Were
Hemmed in by Lumber.
COMPANIONWAY HATCHES COVERED.
A Riff Raff of Other Stuff on Deck Pre
venting Escape—How the Small
Boy Escaped.
San Francisco, June 13.—Robert
Gonzales, a mess boy of the lost Colima,
who arrived here on the steamer Colon,
gives a vivid description of the fight
made by the helpless women and chil
dren when the ship went down. When
the boat began to rock and roll the pas
sengers in the steerage did not seem to
think that much was the matter.
“I saw two or three of them go to the
companionway and come back. I ran
to the ladder leading to the deck and
started to go up, but before I had reach
ed the middle of the ladder I saw why
the others had come back. They could
not get out. The lumber and other
stuff on the deck had shifted to such an
extent that the companionway hatches
were covered up.
"Being familiar with the ship I ran
through to the kitchen and crawled up
the dummy waiter to the pantry above
and into the cabin.
"I saw several women trying to get
upstairs through the hatchways, but
the water kept some of them from leav
ing their staterooms and others were
unable to get up the stairs on account
of the stuff that covered the opening on
deck. We tried to save two women in
the boat with us, but when she capsized
we had to scramble for ourselves. The
last I saw of them they were clinging
to an empty bucket, which held them
only a second and they went down with
out a cry or a struggle.”
' - , - . . A
STORY OF A WRECK.
Perils Encountered by Americans In At
tempting to Cross the Rio Grande.
Washington, June 13. United
States Consul Gorman, at Matamoras,
Mexico, sends to the stat* department
a story of shipwreck and peril encoun
tered by some Americans on May 25 off
the Rio Granda The American sloop
Buffalo Bill, of Port Lavacca, Tei.., at
tempted to cross the swift current at
the mouth of the Rio Grande, off Bag
dad, Mexico. The boat capsized and
went to pieces. The crew, consisting
of the owner, C. Joues, W. J. Atchison
and Jose Duarte, clung to the wreck
and were swept ten miles out to sea.
Captain Flynn of the Brazos life sav
ing station, uilie miles to the north,
went to the relief of the sloop but
could find no trace of the wreck, dark
ness having intervened, though he pur
sued the search until midnight.
The returning tide drove the wreck
with the men clinging to it ten hours
to the shore of Padre island nearly 20
miles north of the river. All the men
were saved.
FOREST FIRES CONTINUE.
They Are Getting Dangerously Near to
Several Towns In Pennsylvania.
Bradford, June 13.—Forest fires con
tinue to destroy property. At 12 o’clock
word came from Simpson stating that
the flames were dangerously near to the
wells of Urquhart and Lavens and that
it would be difficult to save the proper
ty from destruction.
A force of 16 men had a hard fight
with the destroying element near La
fayette Corners. Nearly 2,000,000 feet
of lumber at W. D. Johnson's mill was
destroyed, entailing a loss oi (15,000.
The lumber was partially insured. The
mill was saved.
Another fire near Taintor’s destroyed
a large quantity of wood for Hamlin &
Knowles.
Fires are reported from various other
parts.
THE ONEIDA ARRIVES.

Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., June 13 —The
steam yacht Oneida which was delayed
in the pay on account of thick fog, has
arrived here, having on board the Ben- ,

Not Surprized at the Reports*
Washington, June 13.—Mr. F. J. I
Stanley, who has spent several years in ,
the orient, a large part of the time be-|
ing occupied as a professor in one of •
the native colleges in Japan, is at pres-a
ent in Washington. He says he is not’
surprised at the reports of an uprising]
in China against the missionaries. The*
Chinese, ho says, regard the Europeans]
and Americans as the instigators of the
Japanese war, and therefore hold them
to be largely responsible for the degra
dation of the Chinese as a nation.
