Ro me, March 2S. —It was just 10:00
I o'clock this morning, the day being the
I sacred least day of the annunciation,
I when Cardinal James Gibbons, Archbish-
I op oi Baltimore, arrived at the iron gates
I of the portico of the basilica of Santa
1 Marie in Trastevere, for the purpose of
I formally taking possession of it as his
I titular church. He was arrayed in the
I splendid robes of a Cardinal, weariDg a
I white fur cape, crimson silk mantle, and
Ia long train. When he reached the door
I of the church he knelt upon a cushion
I placed there on a strip of carpet. The
I canons belonging to the church, and the
I students of the Amerioan oollege in
I Rome wearing the surplice were waiting
I |,, Archbishop. StudentStickri, of
I Cincinnati, was the cross-bearer, and
I tte acolytes carrying candles were
I B’udents Doherty, ot Baltimore, and
I Shea of Cincinnati. Bisnops Keane, oi
I Richmond, Va., and AVaterson, of Colum-
I bus (>., wore with the canons waiting.

THK CARDINAL'S APPROACH.
Cardinal Gibbons when he approached
I the church \va- accompanied by lit. liev.
I John Ireland, Bishop of St. Paul, Minn.,
I and by Master of Ceremonies Marucci
I and others. The Cardinal after kneeling
I kissed the crucifix, which was presented
I in him by the canon wearing a cape. The
( ordinal then put on his beretta, and so
covered placed incense in the thimble.
He then aimin bared his head, took the
aspersorium from the canon who had
presented the crucifix and signed himself
with the sign of the cross. Then replac
ing his beretta he asperged the people
present with holy water, alter which he
again removed his beretta and was thrice
incensed by the canon, tae choir mean
while singing the antiphone “Kcce sacre
tlos magnus.”
V IN TROCESSION.
After being thus Incensed the proces
sion moved to the altar, followed by the
Cardinal, who blessed the people as be
went. At the altar the blessed sacrament
was administered and all knelt for a
short time in prayer. The procession
next went to the high altar. There the
Cardinal knelt and the Canon recited a
paternoster and other pravtrs. In the
apse, a throne with white back aud
crimson canopy had been placed. The
Cardinal seated himself on the throne,
the bishops and priests in attendance
being seated about him. Prothonotary
Monsignor Pericole then read in Batin
tte Papal bull assigning the church Santa
Marie In Trastevere to Cardinal Gibbons
as his titular church.
A LONG DOCUMENT.
This bull was a long document and re
cued at length the nature of the assign
ment of the government, custody and an
nexed privileges of the basilica. After
the leading of the bull the canons went
forward to the throne, and all but the
cbiet canon knelt and kissed the Cardi
nal’s hand, the Cardinal rising lo receive
the chief canon for the kiss of peace—ad
osculum pacis. An address from the
canons to the Cardinal was then read in
i.atin by Canon Francesco Ardiuni. It
was of great length.
THE CARDINAL’S REPLY.
To this Cardinal Gibbons, remaining
seated, responded witb an eloquent ad
tress. lll voice was strong and ringing.
Facli word he said was distinctly heard,
although he spoke under the disadvan
tage ot being seated behind the altar.
Hi* voice rose toward the conclusion of
his address, wnicn was pronounced mu :-
uiticeut. The cardinal said:

THANKING THK POPE.
As evidence of bis good will for the great
republic in the West, amt as a mark of bis
appreciation of the venerable hierarchy of
the United states, and as an expression of his
kind consideration for the ancient Bee of Bal
tiaiore. our Holy Father has been graciously
pleased to elevate its proaont incumbent in
tnv humble person to the dignity of the pur
ple. For this mark of his exalted favor I beg
to tender the Holy Father my profound
thanks in my own name and
in the name of the c ergy and
faithful. I venture to thank him also in
the name of my venerable colleagues. Bishops,
as well as clergy and the Catholic laity of the
United .States. I presume to also thank him
in the name of our separated brethren in
America, who. though not sharing our faith,
nave shown that tliev are not insensible—in
deed, that they are deeply sensible—ot the
honor conferred upon our common country,
and have again and again expressed their
warm admiration for the enlightened states
manship and Apostolic virtues and bcuevo
lent character of the illustrious pontiff who
now sits in the chair of St. Peter.
The choir now effectively rendered the
Te Deurn set to splendid music, after
which the Cardinal weut, forward to the
altar, and the Papal indulgence of 100
days was read In Latin. The Cardinal
then blessed the people assembled. The
church was occupied largely by Ameri
cans and distinguished visitors to Rome
during-tbe ceremonies. In addition to the
Americans, French and Italians, a num
ber of Roman men, women and children
of the peasant class were present.
RETURNING TO THE SACRISTY.
All the prelates with the Cardinal re
turned to the sacristy. Bishops Ireland,
Keane and Watterson, Archbishop Kirbv,
Rector ol the Irish College; Archbishop
Carr, of Melbourne; Mgr. Stoner O. Cal
lahan. Rector ot the English College;
Mgr. Pursol, of the French Church, with
others, surrounded Cardinal Gibbons,
who was seated in the sacristy. The Pro
thonotary then read the Latin Proces Ver
bat, which relates each event, however
small, in the proceedings of
taking possession, which document
was signed by the Bishopu and prelates
present. The reception lollowed, aud all
present went forward one alter another,
knelt before the Cardinal and kissed his
ring. Each spoke a few words, which
were kindly responded to by the Cardinal.
Even little children from neighboring
streets were admitted. Then all was over.
A REMARKABLE SCENE.
The scene was remarkable in many
ways. The assemblage was the most
varied ever seen in the church. Num
bers of poor mingled with many Ameri
cans and distinguished visitors from
European countries. Prominent also
were members of the religious orders,
the Franciscans in their brown robes,
Augustiniaos in black, and groups of
missionaries, who bad assembled in
Roma prior to their departure for foreign
land*. The Americans were esQflPially
gratified at the interest shows in seeing
the second Amerioan Cardinal take pos
session of his titular church.

COOK COUNTY’S BOODLiICRS.
Two More oT tin* 4t> Thieves Taken
* Into Custody anil Bailed.
Chicago, March 25.—Adam Ochs, ex
chairman ol the county board, and Daniel
Wren, a prominent member of the pres
ent Board of Commissieuers, were ar
rested £fiis evening charged with com
plicity in the “boodle” operations that
have left Cook county virtually bankrupt.
Bail was promptly furnished in each
case. A capias was also issued for J. E.
Van Pelt, a noted ex-nommiasioner. lie
sent word to the Sheriff's office that
be would be on hand with bonds
men to-morrow morutug. Accordingly
be was not taken into custody to- night.
Van I’eit is popularly supjHised to be the
bead oentra of the “combine.” There
have been rumors for days past that he
had turned informer, involving many
well known persons outside of officials.
The fact that he has not been arreeted,
although indicted, lends color to the
rumors concerning him, and has caused
renewed consternation among the sus
pects, whose number is placed as hign as
titty.

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1887.
FEARS OF WAR REVIVED
A BIG FALL in INTERNATIONAIi
SECURITIES AT BERLIN.
Prince Bismarck’s Betereneeto Impend
ing Dangers Construed as a Reference
to France—The Peace Talk Incident to
tile Birthday Jubilee Suddenly Given a
Coloring of Insignificance,
Berlin, March 25. — 1n tho Reichstag
yesterday three motions were introduced
by Conservatives aud Ceutrelsts In favor
of the re-establishment of trade corpora
tions. They were referred to committee.
The Emperor and Empress oontinue
well. The Empress spent yesterday
morning in exchanging visits with the
Queens of Roumania and Saxony and
others.
A musical soiree was given last even
ing at the palace, at which 260 guests, in
cluding the Prince of Wales, were pres
ent.
The visitors are gradually leaving, and
the city is assuming its usual aspect.
The Tagblatt says that I’riuce Bis
marck's precise words at the recent ban
quet were: “Peace is completely assured.
The year 1887 will be a year ot peace.
There is no cause for anxiety in the east
or in tho west.”
war fears revived.
Berlin, March .25, 11 p. m. The
North German Gazette reproduces an
article from tue France, of Fans, on Em
peror William’s birthday, containing in
sulting reflections upon the German peo
ple aud Emperor, and adds: “If we ex
pose these effronteries of the French
patriotic press it is not in order to sub
ject them to criticism, but simply to add
to the extensive documents wnich will
one day give evidence oi the calm pa
tience with wnicn Germany has borne lor
years most insolent French slanders and
provocations.” The tone of the North
German Gazette, combined with Frinoe
Bismarck’s allusion in his speech in the
Landtag on Wednesday to the dangers
that are still meuancing Germany’s na
tional existence, revives the lear ot war.
The first symptoms of the recurrence of
the leeling of uneasiness were visible on
the Bourse yesterday, there being a gen
eral reaction in international securities.
Prince Bismarck’s exact words in
referring to the policy to satisfy
the Catholics were: “We must aim
to consolidate the unity of the entire
German nation in view of the dangers to
which it will be exposed at no distant
time.” This remark has been variously
interpreted as a general reference to the
contingencies of the future, or a special
warning, the situation Is stiil grave, all
the bourses taking the words tu the latter
sense. Between yesterday’s opening and
to-night’s close there was a tall ot three
tourths per cent, in Russian securities,
one and one-fourth in Hungarian, and
seven-eighths in Italian. Austrian credit
dropped eight marks. It is reported here
that Russia has made arrangements to
issue an international loan.

READY FOR ACTION.
Odessa. March 26.—'The fifteenth army
division, numbering 18,000 men, has been

either for marching or embarking.
MORLEY’S AMENDMENT LOST
Tlie Government Majority Cut
Down Below' a Hundred.
London, March 25.— 1n the House of
Commons this evening Mr. Balfour an
nounced that bills amending Irish leases
and the system ol laud transler and other
measures relative to Ireland would Do
introduced in the House of Lords Thurs
day.
Sir Henry James (Unlon-Liberalist),
reproached Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Mor
ley with supporting the plan of campaign.
He dissented from their view that it was
ol less moment that a few criminals
snould go undetected than that
justice be administered to thou
sands. It was the first duty of the
government, he said, to uphold the law
and protect loyal subjects. [Jeers from
the Irish members]. Did a section of the
house jeer that sentiment? and was he
asked to join an alliance with such men?
[Loud cheers.]
Sir William Vernon flarcourt retorted
that Sir Henry advocated the Tory prin
ciple that the law must be enforced
whether it be just or unjust. The crime
they had to deal with was the direct out
come of unjust laws.
TUX REMEDY FOR COERCION,
If tne law were amended coercion would
not be needed. The speaker created
much laughter by humorous references
to Mr. Chamberlain’s confidence that the
House ot Lords would pass a satisfactory
land bill. As for himself, he would have
more confidence if Mr. Chamberlain were
there to pilot the bill. The policy
of the government, he said, ap
peared to be to continue exor
bitant rents and
the tenants. Mr.
so muoh to do with the bankruptcy laws
that be appeared to think it the summit
of human felicity to beoome bankrupt.
The government might have made out a
stroug case for applying coercion to Bel
last, but as for the rest of Ireland there
was do evidence whatever to support such
a measure,
Mr. Gosohen, alter referring to Sir Wil
liam Vernon Ilurcourt as Parliamentary
counsel ot the National League, asked
whether he ( Htircoun), when Home Sec
retary, stopped to Inquire whether the
laws’were just or unjust. He blamed the
opposition for the deiay In the introduc
tion of the government’s Irish proposals.
It was the first time id the history
of Parliament that un ex-Premier and
an ex-Horne Secretary bad deserted
the government in the conduct of the or
dinsry business of the House. Proceeding
to argue In lavor of the government’s
measures, Mr. Gosohen was so much In
terrupted by the lrisn members that the
Speaker interfered to keep order. Cun
tinning, Mr. Gosohen said that tne agra
rian question was being utilized by the
political party of Ireland to dupe the
democracy ol England. [Cheers.]
PROGRESS MOT THEIR AIM.
The national party did not want to
progress in Ireland. Thegovernmont did
not despair, but would proceed with their
remedial legislation, undeterred br tear of
anarchical forces, even though
strengthened and countenanced by the
regular opposition.
Jlr. Parnell protesting that the Parnell
ites had been almost entirely shut out
from the debate, moved to adjourn. Snob
a debate, he said, was a mockery and a
sham.
VV. H. Smith refused to agree to tho mo
tlou to adjourn, on the ground that the
Parnellites bad had ample opportunity to
join in the debate, and remarked that
Mr. Parnell himself had been abseut
during the greater part of the debi^e.
To this Mr. I’arnell rotorted: “It Is
curious. 1 also notice the absence of the
right honorable gentleman.” [l'aruellite
cheers.]
Mr. Smith denied that he had been ab
sent more than an hour at a time during
the whole of the debate.
Mr. Gladstone said be regretted that
the leader of the House of Commous had
taken the dangerous course of comment
ing upon the absence of individuals.
When he had more experience in bis
present position he would find such ob
servations much resented- He hoped,
however, that 3lr. Parnell’s motion
would not be pressed. Buoh motions
would tend to thicken the coming fray,
which he foresaw from Mr. Goschen’s
charges against the nationalists was
going to bo thick enough.
31r. Sexton said that although Mr.
Parnell’s health was lar from robust his
attendance would compare favorably
with that of any member of the govern
ment. The Irish members would take
care to be fully heard during the next and
subsequent stages of the bill.
Motion to adjourn was withdrawn, and
the House divided on Mr. Morley’s
amendment.
THE GOVERNMENT BEATEN.
In the House of Commons this evening
division was taken on Mr.Alorley’s amend
to the government’s motion to grant ur
gency for the coercion bill,and the amend
ment was rejected by a vote of 349 to 2(10.
The announcement of the vote was re
ceived with loud opposition cheers.
The majority vote on Air. Morley’s
amendment consisted ot 282 Conserva
tives and 67 Unionists. The minority
vote consisted of 177 Gladstonians. 82
Parnellites and 1 Unionist. Mr. Win
tberbotbam, member for the Cirencester
division of Gloucester, 3 Conservatives
and 3 Unionists abstained from voting.
Mr. Labouchere moved to keep Friday
lor private measures.
Sir William Vernon flarcourt remarked
that the last division showed that the
coercion bill would not occupy as much
time as might have been expected. The
motion was negatived.
The resolution to grant urgency for the
crimes bill was agreed to, and the first
reading of the bill was fixed ior Alonday.
Mr. Parnell gave notice that he would
oppose the motion for leave to introduce
the bill by offering an amendment that
the House resolve itself immediately inlo
committee to oonsider tho state of Ire
land.
The Daily News believes that the gov
ernment will acceot Mr. Chamberlain’s
proposal to delay the third reading of the
coercion bill until the land bill shall have
arrived at the second reading siage in the
House ot Commons.
The Standard suvs: “Mr.Gladstone has
defined his policy, wbioh is one that will
open unrelenting and Incessant obstruc
tion to the government in its endeavors
in behalf of Ireland.”
Mr. Bright writes that be thinks there
is no need ot another great land settle
ment for Ireland; that the question was
raised by the rebel party as a weapon
with which they hope to compel England
to grant home rule, which would be a
step toward Irish independence.
FATHER KELLER’S SPIRIT UNBROKEN.
Dublin, March 25.— Father Keller
writes that he does not regret his loss of
liberty in view of the reason for wbion
his imprisonment was ordered. He says:
“If kept in jail until I die I will never do
the infamous thing the Judge asked tne
to do—betray the confidence of the de
tenseless and loving people who trusted
me.”
QUEEN VICTORIA’S CUP.
Mr. < hambrrlayne Tells TVhy He
Puls It up as a Prize.
London, March 2s. —TankervilleCham
berlayne, owner of the cutter yacht Ar
row and holder of the Queen’s, cup writes
to the Times that he knew the Arrow had
title to the yachting championship,
and that he offpred the cup for compe
tition merely to induoe American yachts
men to send over to English waters some
ol their best vessels. He savs also
that this determination to oiler the cup
was due to a desire to arouse interest in
one ol our noblest sports. “The loss of
the cun,” Mr. Chamberlayne conti.iues,
“will tie to me as the loss of a valuable
heirloom, but 1 think the sacrifice will be
productive of good results, it my condi
tions. winch are not onerous, are aiirced
to, a match between the Arrow and the
American sloop Mavffower will coma off.”
HOECKLEY HACKED.
Ho ’Withdraws His Criminal Kuit
Against Col. McClure.
Philadelphia, March 25.— as a result
of the publication In the Fhi’>delphia
Times a few weeks ago of an artiole ex
posing tho wavs and means by wnioh
gambling had been carried on in this city
for the past several months, and in which
it was charged that Albert H. Hoeckley,
then city editor of the Press, had been the
recipient of the sum of SSO per week for
the purpose of securing the silence of that
paper in the interest of gamblers, Mr.
Hoeckley oroughta criminal suit for libel
and a civil suit for $20,000 damages
against the editor and pubilsnsr of the
Times. The affair was at that time and
has continued to be the chief toplo of dis
cussion among journalists and those who
lelt interested in tho matter. A greater
sensation, however, web created to-dav
when Mr. Hoeckley’s counsel notified the
District Attorney and editor ol the
Times that bis client bad decided to
withdraw the criminal suit and allow
the case to rest entirely upon the civil
suit for damages. Mr. Hoeckley has
been until now (although bis resignation
had been plaoed in the bands of his su
periors) merely suspended from duty un
til the investigation should establish bis
guilt or Innocence, but to-morrow the
Press will say editorially that if Mr.
Hoeckley is innocent of tho charges made
against him be has oouimitted a grave
if not fatal error in withdrawing bis
criminal suit, and that his connection
with the Press hail ocased absolutely.

CARTER HARRISON IRATE
HR DECLINES TO RUN FOR
MAYOR OF CHICAGO.
Tlio National Administration Accused
or Working to Shelve Him Politically
—The Charge of 'Treachery to a Friend
Declared Unbearable—The Selection
of an Administration Ticket Sug
gested.
Chicago, Maroh 25.—Carter 11. Harri
son has again declined the Democratic
nomination for Alayor of Chicago and this
time declares that his decision is final.
Ho seut out notion to the Democratic city
oentral committee for a special meeting
this afternoon, when he read a prepared
letter outlining his purpose aud tho
reasons which aotuated him In this
ooureo. He openly declares that he has
been opposed by representatives of the
administration at Washington and has
also been charged with treachery to a
political friend, and for these reasons he
will not be a candidate.
A TARGET FOR ABUSE.
In the letter read to the committee,alter
explaining that he bad previously writ
ten a letter declaring that ho would not
run tor Alayor, and had also expressed
this intention to the convention,he states
that he wns carried away by the enthu
siasm of the moment and decided lo ac
cept. His letter then reads as follows;
Gentlemen—For many years I have been
made a target for endless abuse and slander.
This I have borne with comparative equan
imity because my personal integrity and
honor were never attacked, hut now 1 find the
press almost unanimous in it assertion that
1 have betrayed a friend and broken lay word,
and this friend does not come forward to
deny toe false allegation. This situation u
unbearable. Such a charge involves a reflec
tion upon my personal character, and life is
too short to undertake to correct and explain
matters involving one’s honor. Not a news
paper m Chicago is willing to set me right.
ACCEPTS THE CONSEQUENCES.
There is but one thing left for me to do. I
cannot afford to be electe i Mayor under such
circumstances. Kuowiug well the conse
quences ot the acti m I now take, aud that it
forever debars me from future political honors,
I must kpsitlveiy aud irrevocably withdraw
my uame from the head of your ticket. The
tic-act must in any event be remodeled, fur 1
have in my possession the Ueclinatlou of Mr.
MoAvoy, aud tins action of nuuc may enable
you to hurmonize the party. A confidential
advisor in Chicago of the President of tlie
United .States has taken the uublic position
that 1 should be defeated in the interest of tho
uauonal administration. The three news
papers which arc the organs of the President
in Chicago have attacked me violently since
ruy nomination aud urged my defeat.
A NEW TICKET SUGGESTED.
This convinces me that tho President of tlie
United States does not desire me to heeieeted.
I therefore respectfully suggest that you call
into coußUltatiou with you gentlemen who
are known to be advisera here of the Federal
administration and nominate a ticket which
will command their support.
The charge of treachery made in the
letter has reference to DeWitt C. Cregler,
former City Superintendent of Public
Works, aud who was urged for the nomi
nation upon the theory that Mr. Harrison
would not accept another nomination.
What course tho Democratic party will
now pursue ie not stated. Some of the
party men declare that Mr. Harrison can
not resign uow, and will have to make
the race.
A meeting ot members of the Illinois
Club was held this evening, at which
Democrats and Republicans were pres
ent, and steps were taken looking to the
nomination ot a so-called “citizens’
ticket.” Arrangements were made to in
duce as many as possible of the other
prominent clubs to joiu the movement
against the two tickets now In the field.

New York, March 25.— The Executive
Committee of tho Southern Railway and
and Steamship Association adjourned to

was determined not to put into

prevented lower rates tor a long haul than

New York, Aiarch 25.—The business
failures during the last week number for
tl>e United States 218 and for Canada 41,
a total of 259. as compared with 220 last
week and 282 the week previous. The
casualties are considerably above the
average in the Southern States and In
Canada, in New York City there wore
ten failures.
Dun As Co’s weekly review says:
Anril is close at hand, and some anxiety as
to tlie money market is usual at this season.
The hanks have been sending largo amounts
to the interior, and there lias also been a
heavy demand tor Philadelphia exchange, so
that a further decline in the reserves is ex
pected.
EFFECT OF THK TRAFFIC BILL.
The Western and Southern demand (or
money has been caused by a desire to ship
products before the interstate act and change
of rates go into effect. Though the demand ut
Chicago is reported diminishing, the rales ire
010 8 per rent. All the circumstances make
it comparatively easy for the operator to pro
duce tight money if ho pleases. The Inter
state bill causes groat activitity in sliin
ineuts of merchandise to anticipate the
change of rates April 6, but this means
dullness after that date, and complalntsof
industrial ana commercial inactivity. Coal
men are awaiting the proposed new rates for
transportation. Dry goods merchants pro
test earnestly against tlie charging of higher
rates for goods in box than in bale.
CONSOLIDATIONS PREDICTED,
The selection of the commissioners is
thought to foreshadow a strong effort lo ad
just rates according to distaneo. Gen. Fink
Hunks the law will tend to the crushing of the
small li> the larger dealers, and Mr. Adams
thinks it hastens tlie swallowing of the weak
er by thoestronger roads. Mentha of uncer
tainty must elapse before the effects of
tlie act can he understood. Railroad
business ha* been large. The tem
porary activity of March does
not iudicale a larger business after
tlie change of rules, however, uor is tlio build
ing of UK miles ot road, against 2lifi to date
last year, a safe Indication ua to the future.
Reports regarding the iron hu-iness are no!
favorable, imports evidently having a de
pressing effect. The British shipments ol
iron aud steel to thiscountry were 117,fed tour
in February, and4,151 tous in January. The
prices of ;the kinds largely imported show
wcukuess.
PRODUCTS REACT.
Products have reacted a little. Wool is
lower, the demaud for goods being slack.
Wheat, corn aud oats are lower. Cotton has
advanced ‘ 4 c. ami coffee and beef is
stronger, hut the prevailing uncertainty
affects most branches of nusiucss unfavora
bly, excepting as transactions are hastened
to make shipments by rail before tlie change
in rates and expiration of contracts.
DAKOTA’S FLOOD.
Five Persons Held Prisoners in a
Tree for Six Days.
Bismarck, Dak., Alarob 25.— The water
fell two feet Wednesday, but was rising
again yesterday. The water In Washburn
is ten test above the high water mark of
1881, while here it is not quite up to that
record. This shows that there is a gorge
between here and Wasbburn, and when
that tan feet of water comes it will matte
tho flood surpass any previous record.
There is a prospect lor tho Heart rivet
ice breaking about the same time the
upper gorge breaks, and if it does Man
dau will be afloat. The steamer Tomp
kins, which was crushed in the ice, was
the property of the Evans Transporta
tion Company, and its ruin just as navi
gation is opening is a heavy loss. The
Northern Pacific shops at Alandan are
still flooded.
PRISONERS IN A TREE.
1). M. Kennedy, his wife and three
children are held on Bable Island by the
flood, and lor six days have been living
on suoh food as they saved from tho
water. There is no hope of rescuing
them until the flood subsides and their
friends are distracted. They oan be seen
through field-glasses occupying a nest
built in the limbs, over three miles from
shore.
The Northern Pacific railroad managers
have abandoned hope of removing the
gorge by use of dynumite and cannot say
when they will be able to ship freight
across the river. Passengers are being
transferred by boat. A pariy of twelve
persons, while attempting to cross from
Mandan Wednesday evening, were driven
by the wind and Ice into a willow thicket
and passed the night there momentarily
expecting death. They were rescued
Thursday forenoon.

Fire Island, Search 25.—The French
steamer Scotia went ashore near JB!uo
I‘oint station, Long Island fifteen miles
east of here, this morning. The life
suving people got a line to her, but owirg
to the heavy surf were not able to do any
thing in the way of taking off passengers.
She has 1,000 Italian immigrants on board.
The Scotia is a screw brig.rigged
steamer, 326 feet, in length, 40 feet in
breadth, and 23 feet in depth. She was
built at Leith, Scotland, in 1881, and is
owned by Cyprien, Fabreolo & Cos., of
.Marseilles.
The passengers on the Scoria bad beet”
transferred to the Scotia at Naples lrorn
the Frenoh steamer Uurgundia, which
was damaged in collision with the man
of-war italla as she was leaving Naples
on Fob. 17. Her cargo consists of Italian
produce.
TUK captain’s good chkkr.
The agent of toe Fabre line in this city
has received a dispatch from Capt. Ruffet,
of the Scotia, stating that the passengers
were all sate and would be sent on to
New York to-morrow. The vessel was
resting easy. The agent thought that
Capt. Buffet bad beached the vessel t<
save the lives of her passengers. A.
steamer has been chartered to bring the
Scotia’s passengers into port. The Mer
ritt Wrecking Company’s officials say
that their iatest information is that the
llte-aaving people have a line to the ship,
but that none oi the passengers have been
taken off yet. The wind Is off shore and
the sea is rough. The boats wbloh were
started to-day will not reach the wreck,
until early to-morrow morning.
A HURRICANE BLOWING.
Patchogck, N. Y., March 25.—Atdav
light, when Capt. Jones and biscrew of
life-savers attempted to throw a line to
the Scotia, and later when an effort was
made to launch a lile-boat to reach her.
the surf roiled mountains high and the
wind blew a hurricane. Within two
nours a moderate breeze and quieter sea
permitted the launchtng of a boat and an
approach to the steamer. The vessel lies
with her nose deep in the sand, bedded
northeast. Cant. ltuUat behaved nobly,
remaining almost continually on tbe
bridge during the-week. Yesterday tbe
lead was thrown frequently, and
last nlglit when the sounding indicated
proximity to the beach and the storm nos
abating, while the vessel straiaed anti
tossed, he decided to beach her, and In
order to keep her more steady be ordered
the cutting away of the masts. At 8
o’clock this evening the Scotia was lying:
easy in about two fathoms of water,2oui
feet from tbe shore, and was working in<
through the pounding of the rising tide.
It has been impossible as yette obtain
any statement lrorn the Captain or offl.
cers.
100 passengers landed.
The life-saving crew with their life
boats have succeeded in landing 100 pass
sengers on tbe beach, but late in the ais
ternoon orders wero received from New .
York to keep the passengers aboard until
tbe arrival of barjes which had been dig
patched during the afternoon. The pas
sengers are very anxious to trei>
ashore, as they complain ot th^
treatment accorded them bvi
the Captain aDd officers, saying that they
have had scarcely any food for some time
past and have had to pay lor water to
drink. The vessel is leaking and pumps'
are kept continually working to clear her
of water. The wrecking tug I. J. Merritt
arrived about 4:30 o’clock this evening
and, although unable to go alongside the
steamer. Is anchored near byi
in readiness to n-eder assistance
if needed. Mr. dwell, representative ot
the New York agents of , Cyprian,
Kabee & Co.’s line, arrived this evening
with an interpreter, and will take care ol
the passengers on shore. The weather

There are no apprehensions entertained
as to the safety of tbe vessel and her
passengers during the night. It is ex
pected that tbe passengers will all be
taken off in tbe barges.wbicb will convey
them to New York to-morrow morning.
