TilK STEAMER AFLOAT,
Wood’s Uoi.e, Mass., July 23.—The
steamer Gate City, which has been ashore
in “The Graveyard,” Nattshon island, was
got off at 1 o’clock p. m., and is passing
up the sound in tow.
THE DIVER’S STORY.
New Bedford, Mass., July 23.—The
tug Elsie, of the Whari Company, arrived
here to-night with W. 1). Duncan, the
chief diver, on board. Mr. Duucan said
that all the compartments of the Gate
City were full ot water when the fruit
and vegetables were removed and the
flood gates were ojiened letting the water
Cow amidships, where four pumps were
stationed. As soon as the pumps were
started the steamer rose huoyautly. The
canvas boat worked admirably, and soon
the only water that remained was in the
false bottom, where it could do no harm.
The keel lorward is rolled up for a dis
tance o! about tifteen feet, and there is a
long tear on the starboard side, which
bad previously been tilled with old rags
and anything else that came handy. The j
Elsie was at Vineyard Haven procuring
coal when the Gate City was floated, but
soon joined in the work of towing the
steamer to that place.
BESIDE THE COLUMBUS.
There the Gate City was put alongside
of w hat remains of her sister boat, the
City of Columbus, wita lighters on each
side of her, and was kept Iree with little
effort. Mr. Duncan came here for the
purpose of procuring another boat similar
lo the one he has been using, but longer
and higher, and work has already been
commenced upon it at Hitch’s sail lo!t.
This boat will be placed over the other
one, and the motion ot the steamer In go
ing ahead will draw it further and
further on and make it lit more tightly.
The Elsie will return with it to Vineyard
Ilaven to-morrow morning, and the Gate
City, it is expected, will be in the dry
dock in Boston Sunday forenoon. Mr.
Duncan is the diver who had charge of
the City of Columbus wreck. The Gate
City’s cargo, with the exception of the
watermelons, is yet on board the steamer
and is probably not much damaged.
GLOOM IN GEORGETOWN.
Crops Ruined and the People on the
Verge of Starvation.
Columbia, S. C., July 23 —Benjamin
Alston, a prominent planter of George
town county, writes to the Georgetown
Enquirer, giving a doleful account ol the
condition of things. He says: “I look
over the prospect and behold only one dull,
dirty, yellow mass of water. No sign of
tile presents itself, except the fast run
ning current ana the birds of prey that
soar overhead. Men have been to me
asking for work, and saying they had
eaten the last food in their houses.”
Thousands are In the same condition
where he is, and elsewhere in the county.
The disastrous result of last year’s crop
ping caused many to begin this year in
debl, und they are stopped trom wnat
they might otherwise do. Mr. Alston
thinks his people are on the brink of fam
ine. and suggests convening the Legisla

WESTERN UNION RESISTS.
An Effort to Collect a U Per Cent. In
come Tax to be Font;m in Court.
Eufaula, July 23.— The Alabama law
levies a tax of 2 per cent, on gross re
ceipts, but when Tax Collector Bennett
went to the Western Union office yester
day to collect this tax the manager here
refused payment. The Tax Collector then
said lie would wait, until to-day and if the
lax was refused he would levy on and
close the office. Accordingly he returned
this morning aud demanded the 2 per
cent, levy, whicu was again refused.
Whereupon he sought an attorney and
proceeded to levy on the office, fix
tures and lines in the county and to
close the Eufaula office, but rather than
inconveuience the public in the dispatch
of business, the Western Union Company
paid the amount, sll9 25, under protest,
and will have the case contested. It is
said that the Western Union Company is
resisting tbe payment of this 2 percent,
tax throughout the State, and already has
a case en route to the United States Su
premo Court.

SAVANNAH MOKJNING NEWS: SAT UK DAT. JULY 24, 1886.
YAt JITS HARD TO DEFEAT.
The Mexican Troops Get by Far the
Worst ol the Campaign.
Tombstone, Aki., July 23.—Advices
from Sonora confirm the belief, which for
some time has orevalled here, that the
Mexican reports of the complete subjuga
tion fc of the Vaquis are greatly exag
gerated, if not entirely false. Trustwor
thy citizens in good standing, who have
just arrived from Sonora, where they had
every opportunity to learn the true facts,
say the Mexican army officers are thor
oughlv disheartened and disgusted with
the Y'aqui war. The Vaquis number
about O,(X>O well-armed men and have
detested the government troops badly.
About 200 Vaquis have been captured
and shot. Orders were given to shoot all
the Vaquis found. This order was met
by a counter order by Cajeme to kill all
the Mexicans. The result is that many
more Mexicans thau Vaquis have been
killed.
THE YAQUIS RETORTED, DEFEATED.
Guaymas, Mkx., July 23.—Advices
from Vaqui river report that a battle took
place between the Mexican troops and
Vaqui Indians yesterday. Col. Lorenzo
Torres, with 300 men, while conveying a
provision train from Medano to Torrin,
met. the Indians, who numbered 1,200,
about one and a half leagues from Me
dano. In tbe battle which ensued, last
ing three hours, the ludians were re
pulsed with a loss of forty killed and
twenty taken prisoners. These prisoners
were immediately shot. Ot the Mexicans,
Capt. Arrosand nine men were killed and
twenty men were wounded.
NEWTON’S REGULATORS.
The Recent Troubles the Result of
Rival Claims for a Homestead.
New Orleans, July 23.—it is now
stated that the Newton County. Missis
sippi, troubles arose some two years ago
from conflicting interests in a homestead
entry between a negro and a white man.
Bad blood arose between the parties,
which has been kept up ever since, grow
ing in acrimony until it has involved the
relatives and friends of each and been
taken in hand by wbat is known
as “the Secret Band of Regula
tors,” who are supposed to have
been organized since the original
trouble, not for the purpose of making
indiscriminate waron negroos, but for the
purpose of assuming to look after and
regulate those who, in the opinion of the
Regulators, are bud negroes or lawless
persons. The organization is supposed
to be similar to those which figured so
prominently in 188n and 1881 in the coun
ties of Amite, Lincoln and Pike. Hereto
fore the operations of the Regulators have
been so quiet and secret that their exist
ence could not be legally estaolished. The
Identity of none of the members has yet
been fixed. It is said that one of the band
has agreed to turn State’s evidence and
give the names of the offenders and the
history of their depredations. Fitteen of
the ringleaders have already been
arrested. The Circuit Court meets next
Monday, when the matter will undergo a
rigid investigation.
TWO BRAVE HOYS.
Their Impromptu Danger Signal Pre
vents a Railway Catastrophe.
New Haven,Conn., July 20.—Through
the bravery of two urchins named Christy
Holston and Willie Kehoe, aged 10 years
respectively, who were on their way to
the woods in Orange to trap birds, a seri
ous railway accident was prevented on
the Derby railroad to-day. The road runs
through a deep eut known as the Alliug
ton cut about three miles west of the
city On their way out they discovered
that a huge boulder weighing about
six tons bad lallen on the track.
Just then they heard the approaching
passenger train on its wav to the city,
and they ran toward the train with all
speed. Holston hastily picked up a stick
and jerked out an old tattered red ban
dana handkerchief, which ne tied to Un
stick and waved it as a signal, seeing
which the engineer concluded to stop.
Many of the passengers’cheeks blanched
when they saw the danger which had
been thus averted. Ex-Gov. Andrews,
Sheriff Gates and other prominent, offi
cials were on the train.
The little boys were at once made
heroes of, and a lawyer passed the hat
and collected $lO in silver lor them. It
took half an hour to remove tbe obstruc
tion.
COMPLETING A GREAT GUN,
0,000 Pounds of Pow der and IS.OOO
Pounds of Projectiles an Hour.
Reading, July 22.—There is beingcom
pleted at the Scott foundry in this city,
under the direction ot Col. Norman Wiard,
a breech-loading, chambered twelve inch
combined rifle and smooth-bore gun, from

Wnshington for a tost before the Ordnance
Board.
it will be fired thirty times an hour iu
this test, with a charge of 300 pounds ol

2.000 feet per second. Col. Wiard says
that under tbis test 0,000 pounds of pow
der will be consumed and IS.OOO pounds ol
projectiles delivered in an hour, an amount
ol work estimated in foot-pounds per hour
far greater than can be performed with

TWISTING THE LION’S TAIL.
llie Brilliant Henry Wattersou Not
an Anglomaniac.
Frrtnx tht L’U i trills Courier-Journal.
Hastings, July 2.—The tenacity with
which the rioh and titled clusses In Eng
land cling to tbelr prerogatives, and the
fury with which they resent the interpo
sition of Mr. Gladstone’s obtrusive liber
alism, is in the very nature of the case
and not to be wondered at in the least.
We may call the obstinate conservatism
of the Tories ill-advised. We may say
that a larger and broader spirit would be
safer and wiser. But instinct is some
times better than calculation —a kind of
judgment to itself—and instinct bias the
British aristocracy to beware of conces
sions.
I’he average Englishman is a snob,
rrorn the Duke to the costermonger,
each order in this vast series of social
strata licks the foot of the order above it.
Ibe little girl upon the London crossing,
being asked if she had no higher ambi
tion than that of sweeping the streets, re
plies, “Oh, yes, sir, 1 ’opes to be a
’arlot.” John Leech’s cartoons ail turn
upon such moral incongruities in
the English character. Nothing can be
more idiosyncratic than bis sketch of
the two cockneys getting out ol the
cab at the fancy ball, the wife as
Queen Anne and the husband as the
Grnnd Monarque. The fare to and from
the ball is five shlllings.and they have but
two shillings between them, one of which
they have offered the cabman, who says:
“Wot is this for?” The English male is a
selfish bully. The English woman is a
slave. The warp and woof of English so
ciety is a sham. Thackera.v saw it out of
the clearest kind of cosmopolitan eyes,
and even Dickens was not wholly dead to
it. But, whilst the purse holds out, it is
resplendent indeed. The bully in the men
makes good soldiers. The power of Eng
land is undeniable. The slave in the
woman, when sho does not elope, makes
excellent housewifery. The domestic
fabric of England is respectable and
orderly. But the church, the state and
the home built upon a complex feudal
system depend upon the poise and
balance of classes in the relation which
now' exists, and which, with trifling inci
dents not seriously disturbing the personal
life ot England, has existed since Magna
Charta.
As an American, I have no right, and
certainly no wish, to complain ot this, or
to criticise it. II Ido not like it. as I do
not, I can lump it,. England was made
tor Englishmen. That with which, as an
American, I have some concern is the In
fluence of English thought and maimers
upon America and Americans, and the
position and conduct of certain Ameri
cans who come over here and appear in
English society. Touching the latter,
nothing could be more ridiculous and
offensive.
Thebestof Americans In England must
be as the least of Englishmen. The hon
ors paid to a man like Dr. Holmes, for
example, are a mere spurt. They are a
kind of self-love. If Dr. Holmes should
outstay ms welcome be would soon find
the level of the resident American, who,
on puhlio and social occasions, is but one
with the rabble. A Duke ranks a Mar
quis, and a Marquis ranks an Earl, and an
Earl ranks a Viscount, and a Viscount
ranks a Baron, and a Baron ranks a Baro
net, and a Baronet ranks a Knight, and
there the laws of precedence fade into an
indistinguishable mass of the untitled
and unwashed, who come last at
table and are snubbed by the servants.
No American can enter such a society, or
hope to shine in it, unless he falls in with
Its foibles anil flatters its vanity, and, sub
stantially, denies bis country. No self
respecting American can be easy or happy
In it.
I do not speak without advisement, for
I have had plenty of experience of Lon
don society these twenty years, and with
no private pique or feeling, lor I have de
livered no letters, nor paid any calls, nor
sought out auy of many old acquaint
ances, having come here for my own lest
and the instruction of my children. But
the more 1 see of England andt.be English
the more I am persuaded of the irrecon
cilable difference between us and them,
and the more odious seem tome the affec
tation and imitation of Anglicism by the
American, who, having got a glimpse of
the nobility, would straitway get him
self a coat-of-arms.
Few sights in art or nature can be more
melancholy than that ol the American
woman who has married, or w ho seeks to
marry, a titled Englishman, if there be,
it is tlie American mother who comes
abroad and manoeuvres for a titled hus
band for her daughters. I would have
such a mother whipped at the cart’s tail.
Vet all through English society you en
counter them, the miserable Anglo-
American wife, the villaiuotts match
making American mother, bowing and
cringing to nobility, no matter how cor
rupt and vulgar it may be, and 1 do
assure you that the basest and coars
est specimens ol humanity ever met in
decent company have been titled men. 1
do not by any means intend to imply in
saying this that there are not as
people among the nobility as among any
other class, though, relatively, there
are fewer, because inherited rank and
wealth are over-given to self-indulgence
and over-apt to seek unfair advantage,
setting laws unto themselves beyond and
above the laws ot God and man. At best
a foreign marriage is a dangerous ad
venture. The American woman was
not born to be the doll of a darn’d lord, or
to herd with the poor wall flowers that
decorate the great houses much as the
frescoed angels which appear upon tbs
ceilings thereof, she may have been
made to cook and to wash, for she may
step from the kitchen to the drawing
room, and has olten risen from ttao wash
tub to the Executive Mansion. But she
is a peer and not a vassal, and always
a woman, which sho is not, never has
been, and never can be 111 England, or, in
deed, in any land where feudalism holds
its baletul, brutal and despotic sway over
the minds of ineu and over the institu
tions which men ordained. I would rattier
follow the coffin of a daughter of mine to
the grave, und see her laid tenderly away
in the little old church yard at home, than
to follow her down the aisle of St. George’s
chapel to see her crowued with the rich- |
est coronet in England. If Europe werj
blown to atoms with dynamite to-morrow, i
and amid blood and shame, and the de- <
Btruction ot all foundations, society were
reconstructed upon a modern basis, the
world would be better off than It would
be by the perpetuation oi tills feudalism.
Happily the causes of progress and re
form have other and better moans of loco
motion, and. though its processes may he
slower, they are surer and more wnole-
Bome and less cruel.
Mr. Gladstone lias in his time done a
great and good work. Alter him will
coiue other Gladstones. The statesman of
the future, botu in America and in
Europe, must be he who truly and w isolv
se*-ks the greatest good to the greatest j
number, teaching and preaching, practic
ing and proposing the doctrine that:
“The rank is but the guinea’s stamp.

BOYCOTTING A COQUETTE.
How Some lowa Boys Got Even With
a Pickle Little Maid.
Bedford, lowa, July 17.— There lives
in the progressive citv of Coon Itapids a
fair and lovely little maiden of about 10
summers, who is attractive and win
some, and has such a charm over the
boys that hitherto for a year or more she
has controlled them at her will, getting
the company of any boy she wished and
dropping one lover when she espied an
other she took a fancy to. The boys claim
that after promising her company
to one boy sha changes her mind
and so engages herself to this one and
that one; that when the evening of the
party comes a whole raft of boys bombard
her mansion all about the same time,
when she takes her pick of them and
walks off. Finally the boys got together
after a period of long suffering and re
solved and re-resolved and went into a
written agreement, which is presented
for the benefit of other little boys who are
similarly aggravated, and as a terrible
warning also to little girls who are in
clined to trifle with the heart’s affections.
WntREAS, For ncariy two years we whose
names appear below have been slighted, dis
appointed, misused and cruelly treated by
(here is inserted the name of the fickle fair;

the meanest kind of a way; therefore, he it
Reeolwß, That we hereby each and every
one of us severally agree togive her the grand
bounce—that is to say, have nothing to do
with her or go with her to any party or place
or treat her to ice cream or lemonade, and to
do everything in onr power to make her feel
bad and miserable for the period of one year;
and if we violate this agreement are to pay
into the treasury a fine of fifty cents for each
and every offense. Signed by Charley Moore,

A BLOODY APACHE CHIEF.
An Indian in Washington Who
Murdered a Family.
From the Washington Poet,
Chaco, one of the thirteen Chiracabua
Apaches now in this city, is one of the
most famous chiefs of the Apache race,
and is the same one who gave Gen.
Crook so much trouble to catch in 1883,
but was finally captured with his band
among the mountains of Mexico by the
late Capt. Crawford. Since that time he
anu his people-have lived under military
supervision at Fort Apache, in Arizoua,
and bavo become peaceable, hard work
ing Indians. 11 has been stated that these
Apaches lived on the San Carlos reserva
tion, but that is not so. Their visit to
this city was arranged for by Gen. Miles
and Secretary Lamar, and they desire to
be allowed to remain in their present loca
tion, instead ot being moved to the Indian
Territory. It was not until they reached
Washington, however, that Sec
retary Lamar knew who was
in the party. It is charged that Chaco
was the ringleader in the murder
of Capt. McComas and his wife, who lived
near Silver City, in New Mexico. Cap
tured by surprise Capt. McComas was
tied up at the door post of hts home, while
his wife was fiendishly tortured and out
raged before his eyes. Husband and wife
were then brained withaclubandsualped.
while their little eight-year-old boy Wlllie
was forced to witness the scene of horror.
Willie was carried oil by his captors and
has not been beard of since.
Such is in brief the charge against the
visitor who is being entertained here.
Chaco has never been tried lor his
crimes, the government being satisfied
to pursue the humane course of peace
and allow him and his people to become
wards of the nation. A Kansas Con
gressman, when he learned that Chaco,
was in the city, went to Secretary Lamar
yesterday and requested that he should
be detained and tried for the murder of
the McComas family; but the Secretary
replied that he, with the rest of the dele
gation, had come here under promise
ot protection, and he could do nothing
with him but send him back to Fort
Apache, and to the military supervision
under which ho has been for the last three
years. To a reporter last night Secretary
Lamar said that he had been told of the
charges against Chaco. He had also been
told that although it was, without doubt,
Chaco’s band which perpetrated the
horrible outrage on the McComas
family, that Chaco was not present
at the time. It was through Chaco’s influ
ence that the Chiraeahus, over whom he
has great power, were persuaded not to
join Gerouimo in his present rebellion.
He has, since his capture, been a good
and a peaceable Indian. If it could be
Droved that Chaco committed the Mc-
Comas murder, the Secretary said, he
ought to be brought to justice, but Wash
ington was not the place to try him. He
should send him back to Fort Apache,
and then it would be tor the War Depart
ment to determine what course to pursue
in this case.

Eastport, Mf,., July 23.—An ice cream
supper was given at the North Baptist
church last night. The minister and

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs, Winslow’s Soothiug Syrup should
atwavsbe used when children are cutting
teeth, it relieves the little sufferer at
onoe; it produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as ‘'bright as a
buttn.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soot ei the child, softens the gums, al
lays all palu, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for
dlarrhipo, whether arising from teething
ornther causes. 26 cents a bottle.
