Proposed Annex to the Engraving and Printing Bureau Building. —— SPEAKER REED AND MR. ENLOE TALK- _—_ SENATE. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: House bill for the disposition of the abandoned military reservation of Fort Ellis, Mont, House bill granting certain lote of land ton school district in Michigan. Senate bill appropriating €50,000 for a me- morial structure at Marietta, Ohio, commemor- ative of the settlement of the northwestern ter- ritory. A MONUMENT TO GEN. PUTNAM. Mr. Hoar introduced a bill appropriating $50,000 for the erection of a statue or monu- ment in Washington to the memory of Maj. Gen. Israel Putnam and appointing the Secretary of War, the chairman of the joint committee on the library and the architect of the Capitol to contract for it. Referred. .The presiding officer, Mr. Ingalls, announced his signature to the silver bill. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution (which was agreed to) directing the Secretary of the Troas- ury to furnish such reports of the commission ou the valuation of sugar at the New York cus- tom house as bave not already been trans- mitted, ‘The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the sundry civil Appropriation bill, STATUS OF THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. Mr. Edmunds asked Mr. Allison if he was Prepared to give to the Senate the status of the various appropriation bills, Mr. Allison said that the agricultural bill and the army bill had become laws. ‘The consular and diplomatic bill was in the hands of. the President. The District of Columbia bill was pending in the House of Representatives on a conference report. The fortification bill was in the hands of a conference committee. The Indiaa appropriation bill would be reported to- day or tomorrow from the Senate appropria- tion committee. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was ‘a law. So was the military academy bill, the naval appropri- stion bill, the pension appropriation bill and tho post office appropriation bill, ‘The river and harbor bill and the sundry civil bill were still Unacted on by the Senate. The general defici- ency bill (which would probably cover four or five million doliars) was still behind, All those appropriation bills (with the river and harbor, © sundry civil and the deticiency bill esti- mated) would aggregate about $359,000,000. Mr. Gorman— hat does not include the rr Manent appropriations of about one handed millions, Mr. Allison—It does not. It only includes the regular appropriution bi Mr. Gorman presented a statement in refu- oe . that the delay in the mat- ler 01 © great appropriation bills was the fault of the Sonata 2 SUNDRY CIVIL BILL, Among the amendments reported from the committee on appropriations to the sundry civil bill and agreed to by the Senate wore the following: Inserting item of $20,000 for the compietion of the building and approach of the post oiice and court house at Baltimore, Increasing the item tor repairs of the Chicago custom house from $46,000 to $100,000. Insert- ing an item of &80,000 for a public building at New London, Conn, PROPOSED ENLARGEMENT OF BUREAU OF ENGRAV- ING AND PRINTING. The amendmen: to insert an item of $80,000 for the erection of a wing at the west end of the building for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing having been reached, Mr. Cockrell asked whether the new wing was for the pur- Pose of accommodating the hand plate-prioting presses, Mr. Allison—Undoubtedly unless steam presses shall be hereafter put in. Mr. Cockrell —- But heretofore when the steam presses were in use there was no occasion for an additional building. Mr. Allison— It bas been estimated for two or three times, HAND PRESSES VRRSUS STEAM PRESSES. Mr. Cockrell—I hold in my hand the report of Mr. Meredith, chief of the bureau, in reply to @ resolution of the Senate calling for a com- pers statement of the work and cost of the hand presses and of the steam presses, and it shows the demagogic folly, extravagance, cowardice und prodigality of the legislation discontinuing the use of steam presses, This paper shows an additional cost of €61,000 a year for a less amount of work than was done before. And in addition to that we have now to putup a building to cost $80,000 to accommodate the hand-press operatives, MR. HAWLEY ON HAND PRESSKS, Mr. Hawley stated the necessity for more room at the bureau, entirely independent of the question between steam presses and hand — He had not the slightoxt shadow of a joubt, he said, as to what the government ought to do in the matter. The work of mak- ing improssions could not be done to the best advantage by steam presses, Mr. Harris thought that the question between the steam presses and hand presses was not in- volved in the pending amendment, but he Stated that, after a long investigation two years ago by Mr, Hiscock and himself, as a subcommittee of the finance committee, they were absolutely convinced that the steam print- ing presses did more uniform and more accu- rate and better work than the hand presses, MR. GORMAN ADVOCATED THE AMENDMENT and quoted Mr. Meredith as stating (in a letter to Mr. Allison last month) that the cost of hand Presses over steam presses was only from 8 to 10 per cent and that the bashed of the hand work fully justified the additional expenditure. THE AMENDMENT AGREED To. After farther discussion the amendment was agreed to. FOR IMPROVING TREASURY VAULTS, The next amendment was the insertion of an item of $833,500 for the purposo of improving, extending and repairing vaults in the Treasury building and for constructing new vaults or s:fes therein. Mr. McPherson inquired as to the purpose of such an expenditure, almost large enough, he said, to construct a new Treasury building. Mr. Allison said that the item was a concen- tration or boiling down of a bill that had passed the House on the 2istof April last. The treas- urer and Secretary of the Treasury were very anxious about it, considering that the Present interior arrangement of vaults and safes required a complete overhauling. THY AMENDMENT AGREED To, The amendment was agreed to. Among the amendments reported by the committee on appropriations and agreed to by the Senate were the following: Inserting items for light houses, beacons and fog signals as tol- lows: At Lubec narrows, # H de HEH 2 H : i light house districts, €75,000. Tender for the thirteenth light house district, $95,000. HOUSE, Mr. Enloe (Tenn.), rising to correct the Ree- ord, stated that on Saturday during Mr. Ding- ley's speech on the silver conference report, he had asked the Speaker whether the clock had stopped, meaning that the time had ex- pired. The Speaker had replied that the time had not expired. This did not appear in the Record. He did not know whether it was the fault of the reporters or the editor of the Rec- ord. He did not wish to be put in the attitude of being ignored by the Speaker. THE “EDITOR OF THE RECORD.” The Speaker suggested, caustically, that it would be difficult to put the gentleman in that attitude. The chair was unable to understand to whom the gentleman referred as the editor of the Record, Mr. Enloe expressed his own doubts on the subject, The Speaker declared his inability to resolve the gentleman's doubts. He presumed that the reporters had acted in accordance with the rules of parliamentary law in not report- ing what ought not to have been reported. ir. Enloe inquired why it ought not to have been reported, The Speaker remarked that he had no recol- lection of the circumstance sufficient to enable him to say. He presumed that the matter had been lett out of the Record as such things frequently were left out, The Recora was b no means a perfect transcript of the procee ings and never had been. THE ATKINSON BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Dunnell of Minnesota in the chair) on the bill known as the Atkinson bill, supple- mental to the act authorizing the construction of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad in the District of Columbia, ‘The proceedings which followed are reported elsewh: ST. LouIs’ POPULATION. A Delegation of Citizens Talk With Secretary Noble. St. Louis had another inning today on the census enumeration question. Two of her citizens called on Secretary Noble today and informed that official that they appeared be- fore him as the representatives of the citizens’ committee of St Louis, As the Secre- tary is a citizen of St Louis he knew exactly the might and majesty and power which hiscallersrepresented and liste ned to them accordingly. The two gen- tlemen were Mr. Bell,a member of the city council, and Mr. Case, who is the president of the Mercantile Club. They told the Secretary that they wanted a recount of the population of St Louis, and said that this request was based principally upon the investigation made by the police into the cases of omission charged to the recount of the enumerators, The results of this investigation make quite @ bulky mass of papers, which the committee told the Sec- retary were coming on by express, The Secretary told his visitors to seud the papers when they reached the city to Super- intendent Porter, so that they might be com- ared with the census returns already in the Jensus Office. The committee stated that they were not satisfied with the rough count re- centl; completed by the Census Office, which added 12,000 to the estimated popula- tion. They were informed by the Secretary that the question would be very care- fully considered. The committee then withdrew. The Secretary said subse- quently that the question to be deter- mined was whether the difference between the returns and what was claimed was sufficient to warrant a recount, He said also that if « recount was determined upon it could not be held until cold weath A RULE AGREED UPUN. The Caucus Committee Devise a Measure for Shortening Debate. The republican senatorial caucus committee, instructed to frame arule under which debate in the Senate may be limited, held a meeting this morning and agreed upon the form of a rule to be reported to the caucus tonight. An injunction of secrecy has been put upon the members of the committee, and the terms of the proposed rule are withheld from general circulation. It is learned, however, that it differs from the text as published in a number of papers today, and 1s in effect a modification of the previous question as generally used in parliamentary bodies, GENENRAL IN ITS SCOPE, It is a rule applicable to any measure under Consideration, being made general in its scope with a view, it is understood, of passing an ap- portionment bill after the promulgation of the tabulation of the census returns of population. This, it is said, can be made before August 15. There is nothing in the proposed rule referring to the counting of a quorum by the presiding officer in case any of the Senators shall refuse to vote when their names are called.

TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST. A Steamboat Seventy-Five Bodies Recovered From the Lake Today. SICKENING DETAILS OF THE DISASTER. | Laxe Crrz, Mrvx., July 14.—Last night just before dark @ disastrous cyclone bore down | upon this community and in a few minutes nearly 209 people were killed.- What ap- peared to be am ordinary electric storm was noticed coming from the west, but in half an hour the whole heavens had been converted into lightning-lined black canopy of death, | A little before dark a terrific wind struck the village, driving every one indoors. Trees were uprooted, buildings wrecked and much dam- age done in the short time the storm lasted. In a few moments the news was absoad that an excursion boat with over 200 people on it was | capsized in the middle of Lake Pepin. The boat was the steamer Sea Wing, which came down the lake from Diamond Bluff, a small place about seventeen miles north of here, on an excursion to the encampment of the first regiment of the Minnesota National Guard, which is being held a mile below this city. The | steamer started back on the homeward trip about 8 o'clock, and, although there were signs of an approaching storm, it was not con- sidered im any way serious and no danger was anticipated. The boat was crowded to its full- est capacity, about 150 men, women and chil- dren from Red Wing and Diamond Bluff being on board and about 50 people on a barge, which was attached to the side of the steamer. aT THE MERCY OF THE STORM. When about opposite Lake City the boat began to feel the e ffects of the storm, but the officers kept on their way. The storm in- creased as the boat continued up the lake and in fifteen minutes was at its height. Nearing Central Point, about two miles above Lake City, the steamer was at the mercy of the waves, which were washing over the boat. and all was confusion. The boat momentarily ran on toabaraudthe barge wascut loose and the steamer again set adrift inthe lake. A number of thoseon the barge jumped and swam ashore. The barge floated again into the deep water and thove on her saw the steamer carried helplessly out into the middie of the lake and tossed about on the raging waters. A moment Iater they were horrified to see the steamer capsize and its cargo of 150 People precipitated into the lake, Those on the barge remained there until they drifted near shore and they were all rescued or swam ashore. Among them were two ladies, who were brought to the beach by strong and ready swimmers, As soon as the storm began to affect the Progress of the boat, Capt. Weathern gave in- structions to run her into the Wisconsin shore, but it was too late. The waves were ruuning too high to permit the helmsman to operate the rudder, and the boat was at the complete mercy of the storm. 4 FEARFUL SIGHT, A few minutes after the barge was cut away the steamer was carried to the center of the lake and the efforts of the boat’s crew and the more cool-headed passengers were devoted to Preparations for the worst, A dozen or more secured the few life preservers that were to be found and jumped into the water, preferring to take their chances, In five minutes more the waves began to wash into the boat and fill the lower decks, and while hail stones as large as hen’s eggs came down on the heads of the poor and helpless creatures, who were huddled to- gether on the top, a huge wave struck the craft on the side at the same moment that a terrific blast of wind, more horribly forcible than the others, came and carried the bout over. All of the people on board, 150 or more, were thrown into the water, some being caught underneath and others thrown into the waves. The boat turned bottom upward and only about 25 people were observed floatingon the surface. These caught hold of the boat and climbed up on the upturned bottom, those first securing a position assisting the others. In ten minutes more the twenty-five or so who had obtained momentary safety on the boat could observe no others of the boat's crew or passengers floating on the surface of the waves. Afterward, however, as a flash of lightning lighted up the surface of the lake, the sight of an OCCASIONAL WHITE DRESS of a drowning woman or child was observed, but it was impossible for those who witnessed the horrible sight to lend any sid. Those re- maining began calling for help from the shore, Soon the storm began to abate, and in balf an hour lights were observed flitting about on the pier at Lake City. opposite which point the up- turned steamer had now been driven before help could reach it, However, the poor crea- tures who yet remained to tell the horrors of the night were again submitted to another bat- tle with the elements. With no word of warning, and as they were just beginning to hope that they would be taken off by the citi- zens of Lake City, the boat again turned over, this time on its side, and again all of the twenty-five remaining souls were hurled into the water. Of these several were drowned before they could be brought to the boat by those who succeeded in afloat and again securing a hold on the boat side, In few moments s dozen or more row boats were manned and put out from the shore, aithough the high sea of waves bad not yet subsided, and after scouring the lake for « quarter of an hour the upturned boat was at the shore: damaged by the rain and hail.

The roof of the building in which the telegraph office is located is gone and the lower floors were damaged.
