The accident will not cause over a week's delay in the work of repairing. The report was received at the de- partment in answer toa telegram of inquiry trom Secretary Tracy, who had heard a ramor that the vessel was seriously injured and that the siuking might easily have been prevented by stopping the valve holes.

He was further in- formed that the machines would be entitle@ to free entry under another provision of the law provided they were manufactured in this coun- try and are in substantially the same condition | as when exported Wuereanouts or Navan Vessris.—The | U.s.S.

La THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION. The Commissioners Examine Privately the Witnesses They Want. MR. M'GUIGAN SAYS HE HAS NOT BEEN CALLED UPON TO PRODUCE HIS WITNESSES—THE BAR- REL TRANSACTIONS — MR. STOUTENBURGH'S ACCOUNTS NOT YET EXAMINED, Commissioner Wheatley is pursuing in pri- vaté an investigation of allegations made against the management of the Washington asylum. Mr. McGuigan, late engineer of the asylum, who preferred the charges, has been expecting a letter from the Commissioners for some days, according to the annouacement made by the Commissioners through the news- papers, but when a Stan reporter saw him to-day he said that he had not heard in any way from the Commissioners. Mr. Me- Guigan said he was ready to furnish a list of witnesses whose testimony would he believed, support all the charges he had made, if taken in a proper manner. He was surprised that the Commissioners had not con- sidered it necessary up to this time to call for this evidence. Mr. Aieacied thought that there was not much chance of getting unbiased testimony from either inmates or employes of the asylum while the intendant and matron, against whom the charges were made, were left in control of the institution, so that the wit- nesses upon leaving the Commissioners’ oftice the favor or displeasure of those in author: All he asked was for a fair chance and an vestigation conducted in a fair manner, in which case, he believed, he could justify him- self before the public in bringing the charges that he had made. MR, WHEATLEY TAKING TESTIMONY. Mr. Wheatley yesterday afternoon had before him Mr. Gosnell, the cooper, and Charles Pryor, the driver for Mr. Kuhn, who have bought the barrels from the Washington asylum, Their statements were, the Commissioners said, sub- stantially what they were represented as saying in Tue Stax. Mr. Wheatley said this morning that he had not yet examined into the state of Mr. Stoutenburgh’s accounts, Mr. Stouten- burgh, he said, claimed that he could ex- plain the matter. Dr. Chew, who was until a few months ago, visiting physician to the asy- lum, was at the District buildings this morning at the same time Intendant Stoutenburgh was there, After conversing with Commissioner Webb and Mr, Stoutenburgh he was turned over to Mr. Wheatley, who took a statement from him relating principally, it is said, to the charge against the matron, Mr. Wheatley toa Sra reporter that he did not permit Stoutenburgh to be present when he was ining witnesses, and he would not take Mr. enburgh’s statement until the last. There are other materials sold from the Washington asylum besides barrels, but Com- missioner Wheatley’s inquiry, so far as a Sran reporter could learn, has extended only to bar- rels, Vegetables and refuse material, like bones, have been sold. There is a small. item on the collector's books of vegetables sold in 1886, It is probable, if a thorongh investi tion is made, that the intendant’s accounts will be thoroughly overhauled in respect to all these matters, a WHY IT Is SECRET, The mode adopted by the Commissioners in making this investigation is the subject of con- siderable comment unfavorable to the Commis- sioners, The fact that the Commissioners themselves are under something of a cloud ; makes public talk about the effort to keep the asylum investigation secret all the more pointed and personal, Statements and complaints concerning the janagement of the asylums, it ars, have been sent to the Commissioner& before, but they were not given to the public and ‘wero quietly suppressed, Mr. McGuigan’s charges, however, fell into the hands of the newspaper reporters and received such publicity that the Commissioners were obliged to pay some at- tention to them, WHAT INMATES SAY. Inmates of the almshouse, with whom a Star reporter has talked, generally complain of the management of the institution and make state- ments corroborative of the charges made by Mr. McGuigan/ alleging neglect of the institu- | tion and conduct on the matron’s part that might not be considered highly commendable. Several inmates of thealmshouse have appeared at the District.buildings, voluntarily, to speak to the Commissioners about the matter, but Mr. Wheatley has declined to take their testi- mony. He told a Star reporter that he did not think their testimony was credible unless strongly corroborated by that of others. —_——— AGREEMENT AS TO SAMOA, England, Germany and this Country to have Only One Vessel Each There. It is authoritatively stated at the State De- partment that the three treaty powers con- cerned in Samoan affairs—England, Germany and the United States—have reached an under- standing, by the terms of which they will each keep but one war vessel at Samoa pending the termination of the Berlin conference. The vessel to be sent there by the United States will be the Alert,a 1,000 ton ship now a Honolulu. The German corvette Sophie, now on her way out from Zanzibar, will represent German in- terests, while England will order the Calliope to return from Samoa from Sydney, or will re- Place her if she is materially damaged by the jurricane, THE LYDECKER COURT. Its Findings Still Before the Judge- Advocate-General. The proceedings and findings of the Ly- decker court-martial are still being reviewed by the judge-advocate-general. His scrutiny of the case is merely for the purpose of deter- mining whether the proceedings were in con- formity with the statutes and regulations, and has no bearing whatever on the facts of the case, The fact that the papers have been in his possession since Monday morning is thought to be an indication that the verdict of the court is against the accused. Otherwise the case would have been hurried before the Secretary for his final action, The publica- tion of the findings is not expected to occur before the end of the week. The District National Guard. General Albert Ordway is im Cincinnati and will not return before the end of the week. No conclusion has yet been reached in regard to the selection of a new armory for the District national guard. Gen. Ordway has decided to let the two col- ored battalions remain on their old standing. A Lare Lerrer rnom Panis says that Mr. T. C.

Eventxa Stan: pon, April 10. ldwin Smith writes to the Times on woman suffrage, saying the move- ment has made little headway in the United States in the last forty years; but admitting this position, “that the question would change immediately if parliamentary franchise was carried in England, owing to the national habit of looking to England for political precedent, He adds taat the chief obstacle to woman's suf- frage in America is the hostility of party bosses, | Tuts makes Smith a Daniel come to judgment, for he should surely support what his Lele now dreads, The London county council began an impor- tant debate yesterday on the popular control of the police. “A resolution demanding its trans- fer trom the central government will be ear- riod by a large majority.

Avoxa, M April 10.—Mrs, Nell called at the bank yesterday to get her will, which she had placed there for safe keeping, and found that Cashier Pratt had taken it with him in his flight, It is said that Pratt was her principal heir and would receive $500,000. After learn- ing that Pratt had stolen her will Mrs. Nell wired her attorney at St. Paul and he executed a new one, The Union National bank of Chicago has in- formed the local bank that a note for $5,000, indorsed by Mrs. Nell, is deposited with them. President Ticknor also discovered another note for 35,000 at Minneapolis. This makes a total of $46,000, which Mrs. Nell will be obligea to mourn as a result of ER-CONFIDENCE IN HUMAN NATURE, Pratt, as administrator of Mrs. Nell’s estate, had a power of attorney, which gave him abso- lute control of her affairs, The supposition is that he induced her to sign the notes without being thoroughly aware of their amount, as she says she often’ signed papers which he pre- sented to her without reading them. The condition of the bank cannot be ascer- tained, as the directors refuse to talk, Presi- dent Ticknor said yesterda Phese are all time notes, and we may not hear of all for some time, Mrs. Nell has not lost confidence | in Pratt yet.

He Has Had Enough of Arctic Explor- ation Already. Curcaco, April 1@.—A dispatch from Port Angeles, N.W.T., says: The fishing schooner Cumberland, Capt. Elliott, which arrived here yesterday, after a stormy passage of thirty-four days, from Kodiack Island, Alaska, brings news of Lord Lonsdale, who started upward of a year ago on a trip overland to the north pole. Lord Lonsdale and a number of Esquimaux and die of February ina famished and exhausted condition. They came from an isolated mis- sion near the mouth of the Kuskewin river, which empties into Bristol bay, and suffered many hardships and privations during the jour- ney of months’ duration across the Alaskan peninsula, Lord Lonsdale was severely injured a few days after leaving the mission, While in the lead of his ‘ty he slipped and fell into a crevasse. Kiss left shoulder was so bruised that the arm was rendered use- less and his hip was all but dislocated, incapacitating him from travel on foot. He was placed on a sled and in that condition transported to Kodiack. The great stretch of territory between the mission and the island was covered to the of several feet with light snow. The terrible blizzard that pre- Yailed caught up the light perticles in clouds, obliterating all tracks and landmarks familiar to the guides and making drifts through which it was next to im ible to force a passage. On February 3 the party reached a lake almost in the center of the peninsula. Lord Lonsdale was somewhat improved by the rest here, and they ded to Kodiack. Just before reach- ing ook's inlet two of the Aleut guides died and were buried in the snow. The party was in the last «! of fatigue when they reached and not food and shelter been found there Lonsdale would have died. Indian guides reached Kodiack about the mid- | A TERRIBLE VOYAGE. The Trip of the Iroquois from Charles- ton to New York. TWELVE FEET OF HER STARBOARD SIDE STOVE IN AND SEVERAL OF THE PASSENGERS INITRED— ALMOST A PANIC DURING THE FEARFUL GALE— SHE BEACKES NEW YORK IN SAFETY. New York, April 10.—With 12 feet of the starboard side of the social hall smashed in and with 191 passengers, some of them injured, on board, the Clyde line steamship Iroquois, two days overdue from Charleston, passed quarantine at 15 minutes past 11 last night. The Iroquois. the purser said, left Charleston on Friday last at 9 o'clock in the morning. The vessel had good weather until Saturday noon, when. she was off Cape Hatteras. Then the wind began to blow from_the south, veering to the eastward. When 45 miles southeast of Bodie’s Island a gale from the east-northeast swept down upon tie vessel, and at 4 o'clock that afternoon the wind and seas were so furi- ous that it was necessary that the steamer should be hove to. The wind had whipped avound to the north-northeast and was blowing at the rate of 55 miles an hour. ALL NIGHT THE GALE CONTINUED and throughout Sunday. At noon of that day a tremendous sea came on board on the st board side, smashing in the joiner work of the social ball on that side and scattering the frag- ments in splinters. The water rushed down into the saloon below and flooded it. Two of the staterooms in the opening of the social hall, which is on the promenade or upper Geck, were destroyed, and in the saloon below the water was knee deep. The passengers were greatly alarmed, but were soon reassured and the saloon was cleared of water. The gale did not abate until Monday noon, when the vessel proceeded. ‘The purser said that so far as he knew no one was hurt during the gale. If anyone had been he would have heard of it, The chief officer said the same. THE PASSENGERS TOLD A DIFFERENT STORY. Mr. Harry Whiting. of Webster, Mass., who was on board, said there were about 80 cabin passengers, When the wave struck the vessel on Sunday the tables were set for breakfast, as it was about 9 o’cloc The shock knocked several passengers down, and about eight were more or less injured. Mr. Keogh, of the Cha leston academy of music, was badly ent on the head, and an elderly gentleman also received a bad gash in the temple. There was almost a panic for a little while. Many of the ladies rushed from their rooms, and not a tew donned life-preservers. One lady came out wearing a blanket, a bustle and life-preserver. She was shricking at the top of her voice. The chief mate had his hand cut and one of the steward’s arms was bruised. None of the | passengers were seriously injured, though ail were badly frightened. At noon on Sunday, Mr. Whitney, said the steering gear gave out and the vessel was kept head up to the sea with considerable difficulty | until it was fixed. On Monday another wave | came aboard. ripping off the fore-hatch and } flooding the jorward compartment and the forecastle, pees A White Republican Convention.

New Yor positively refused to write the personal letter of apology demanded by ex-Gov. John Schuyler Crosby in connection with an article published in the Lire Stock Journal, to which ex-Gov.

Cacao, April 10.—Fx killed and five badly injured by an accident that occurred on the Chicago, Santa Fe and California road, about 4 o’clock this morning.

W. Reinhart, of itor of the road. The trai 63 miles from Chicago, ptly on time.’ Three miles east, near ® lage called Lorenzo, it was run into from the rear by a special freight, which, according to all accounts, WAS RUNNING WILD. No warning was given to the unfortunate Occupants of the private car, and the collision occurred suddenly and with such force that it was completely wrecked, the locomotive tele- scoping it nearly to the center. The second ped wigh a wrecked platform d aif injured were at once nase Of debris, and the im jured brought to Chicago in the sleeping-car of the train, which arrived at 9:30 o'clock, twoe and-a-half hours late. RETICENCE OF RAILROAD OFFICIALS, The usual reticence was manifested by the railroad officials, the employes being warned | to give no information to the press or private individuals, A dispatch had been sent to the | police department for ambulances, and a dozen were in waiting when the train arrived. Only | four, however, were needed, and in these Mr. | and Mrs. Hardt and .. Hardt, of Brookline, | Mass.. (the names being given by the railroad j Officials); Henry W. Lamb, of the same place, and P. L. Palmer, of Chicago, brakeman, were conveyed, the three former to Mercy and the latter to St. Luke's hospital.

This is denied. at the depot. The remains of the killed were left at Lorenzo. THE FIREMAN'S STORY. The fireman of the wrecked passenger train was seen and finally induced to talk: “My en- gine is D. 531, and you can bet we are not to be blamed for the accident, It was pitch dark when the crash came, and we stopped our en- gine as quick as we could. We were running on time, but the freight was an extra, When she struck us every coupling on our train was broken even the coupling on the tender to gine was broken in two.

The affar happened between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning. It was very foggy and almost impossib! to see any distance ahead. We got lost in the fog, I guess.

WITHOUT SUFFERING FROM THE ACTION. The Marquis of Londonderry is not as yet directly connected with any of the more vio- lent acts of the Irish administration under the coercion act, however much be may sympathize with the law, but he can scarcely remain long | unconnected in the present circumstances, The defeat in the house of commons yester= day of Mr. Clarke's Scottish home-rule motion | has Produced jess effect upon the masses than could have been thought possible in advance.
