Carter has resigned the pastorate of Christ's prt gai » Va., to accept a call from the church at Brandy Station, Washington News and Gossip |THE TARIFF FIGHT. tae 7|It Goes on With Renewed Vigor A VOTE ON THE ATKINSON BILIs The “Star” Gives Opportunity for a True Expression of Public Opinion. Tae Stax calls the attention of its readers, men and women, to the coupon petition printed below. Itasks each of them to read the peti- tion carefully, and, if the requests which it contains meet his or her approval, to sign it, cut it out, and send it by mail to or hand it in at Tue Star office. The petition is put in such shape that every citizen anxious to protect life and to improve the conditions of railroad occupation can sign it, whether he favors the removal of the station from the mall or not, and whether he is from south, east or northwest Washington. The people of South Washington will natar- ally seize with eagerness the opportunity to Protest against the surface tracks which un- necessarily obstruct, injure, threaten and kill them, and against a measure which perpeta- ates the evil conditions that now exist and which is sustained only by the foulest slandor of their section, The people of East Washington, suffering like those of South Washington from an unnecessary multiplication of surface tracks and grade crossings and illegal encroach- ments on the part of the railroad which tray- erses their section, will reasonably join with heart, soul, mind and strength in the move- ment against grade crossings and the Atkin- son bill. For the evils which South Washing- ton endures are their evils also, and this fight is their fight. Nor will Northwest Washington, though not a direct sufferer, be indifferent. The obstruo- tive danger-belt of surface tracks between the river front and the main city endangers the lives of thousands from the northwest as they pass to and from the river on business or pleas- ure. The modern city is a unit, and what injures one section should be felt by all. The public spirit which builds up great cities is based upon this sentiment of common interest. Manslaughter by railroad in two sections of the cupital is a concern of the whole city, like the question of a new bridge in the southeast and a Columbus Park in the northwest, The, main evil to be remedied in this case is also o! general instead of merely local concern because it threatens human life. When murder is to be checked it is not necessary that appeals for aid Shall be addressed to a next-door neighbor. It is sufficient if the cry for assistance comes to the ears of a fellow man. The time is now favorable for securing from the railroad what the people seek. It is asking that its illegal acts be legalized and that valu- able privileges be granted to it. The attention of Congress has been called to its affairs, and that body shows a disposition to deal fairly with the people. If this opportunity be wasted the chances are that no other so favorable will ever arise. It will be criminal negligence to fail to act promptly, and will throw upon all to whom the neglected opportunity is attributable ashare in the responsibility for future blood- shed at grade crossings, In families where more than one adult sig- nature is to be attached the coupon cap be cut out and pasted as a heading on a sheet of paper, upon which additional signatures may be placed. The same course may be pursued in churches or other organizations, and in cases where volunteer canvassers may desire to col- lect signatures. The labors of the latter will be gladly welcomed. They will not be com- pensated, however, by the payment of so much foreach name secured; but will work from the promptings of public spirit or for humanity's sake. in the Senate, ON THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House Still Considering the Senate Amendments. COVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, ——o__. SENATE, The Senate met at 11 a.m. { After a call of the roll, in orger to pri the attendance of a quorum, Mr. Morgan pre- sented resolutions adopted at a public meeting of republicans in Birmingham, Ala, against the passage of the election bill. Mr. Sawyer, from the post office committee, reported back Senate biil to establish a limited postal and telegraph service. Placed on the calendar, EARLY HOURS, Mr. Sherman offered a resolution (which went over till tomorrow) for the daily meeting of the Senate at 10 a.m, Mr. Ingalls introduced a bill to establish a department of communication, and said that it was prepared by and introduced at the request of the Wage Workers’ Alliance. THE TARIFF BILL was taken up, the pending question being on Mr. McPherson’s amendment, offered yesterday, to reduce the duty on acetic or pyroligneous acid not exceeding the specific gravity of 1 47-1000 from one and a half cents to one cent per pound, and exceeding that gravity from four to three cents per pound, The amend- ment was rejected by a party vote—yeas, nays, 27. ‘Lhe clerk proceeded with the reading of the bill,but had only got through two lines when he was stopped by Mr. McPherson with the re- mark that he was moving a little too hastily. He (Mr. McPherson) had something to say about the first line, fixing the duty on boracic acid at 5 cents per pound. At the present rate (4 cents a pound) the duty on boracic acid was 78.3 per cent, and now it was proposed to make it 91.91 per cent ad valorem. It could be put on board a vessel in Italy at 4 cents a pound, 80 that the proposed duty would be 125 per cent. He quoted a statement of Mr. Niedring- haus before the finance committee to the effect that boracic acid ould be produced in Calef at 2centsa pound, so that the proposed duty would amount to 225 per cent ad valorem. ‘MR, M'PHERSON’S AMENDMENT. He moved to reduce the rate from five cents to three anda halfcentsa pound. Here, he said, was an article manufactured in nature’s own laboratory, requiring neither steam power nor fuel, nor anything in the world but God's sunlight and air. A little water taken from a Jake and exposed to the sun and air gave a residuum of borax and ‘boracic acid. It costs only two cents a pound (according to authentic testimony) and yet a duty of five centsa pound was to be imposed uponit. And for what purpose? To protect a great trust and combine which had agreed to limit the produc- tion of borax and boracie acid to the amount which the market would take, Mr. Stewart remarked that when this article was on the free list the price was twenty cents a pound. Mr. Hiscock referred to boracic acid as illus- trating the effect of specific duties. He said that when the present duty was imposed in 183 it represented only an ad valorem rate of 5 per cent, but the cost of the article i then been so reduced by home competition that the present duty now represented an ad va- lorem rate of about 85 cent. Mr. Aldrich also made some remarks in the same line, and said that when borax and bo- racic acid were on the free list, before 1883, borax cost 30 cents a pound (it was now 7 cents) and pure boracic acid from 50 to 55 cents (it was now from 14 to 16). If borax could be pro- duced in this country at 2 cents a pound it was very peculiar that (with a duty of 4 cents a pound) its importation was increasing. He quoted from a letter of Gen. Rosecrans, written in 1688, stating that the duty on boracic acid cught to be 10 cents a pound, MR. BLAIR EXPLAINS, Mr. Blair referred to the allusions in yester- day's discussion to the profits of the Amoskeag Company in New Hampshire and id that the dividend rate of 10 per cent was on the original capital and not on the existing value of the plant. ‘The prosperity of the city of Manches- ter, N.H., was absolutely the creation of the protective system, and the Amoskeag Company was the benefactor of the working people and was not to be arraigned as a company engaged in a raid upon their interests, Mr. Morgan argued against the increase of the duty on borax and boracic acid as bearing with a strong discrimination against the iron industries of Alabama, in which borax and boracic acid were largely used. He was in favor of the reduction proposed by Mr. Mc- Pherson and thought that if justice were to be we boracic acid should be put on the free ist. — A Petition, To the Senate and House of Representa. tives in Congress assembled: The undersigned, citizens of the District of Columbia, earnestly protest against the passage of H. R. bill 8243, known as the Alisinson bill, without substantial amend- ‘ment.

SECOND, enlarge freight facilities by giving the railroad power of condemnation within the city east of 3d street and south Of the present tracks, THIRD, increase the beauty of the capi tal by removing surface tracks from 6th street and the mall, either relieving the park entirely of railroad occupation, or sinking and covering from view the dis Siguring tracks across it. If the station is to be permitted to remain on the park we ask that 6th street be cleared of tracks and thatthe tracks on the mall be hidden from sight and rendered easy and safe to be crossed, And in this event we also ask that the road be required to make ade- quate compensation for its valuable priv ‘ileges upon the mall by removing grade crossings and decreasing the killing and mangling of the people on its surface tracks, In loeal railroad legislation we ask that consideration shall be given, first, to human life, next to trade, next to the city's beauty, and only lastly to the proposed legalizing of the railroad's illegal acts, and the pro» posed gratuitous consirmation of its un= auéhorized use of public property, THE AMENDMENT REJECTED, Mr. McPherson's amendment was rejected by @ party vote—yeas, 25; nays, 30, AGAINST THE BILL, Mr. Jones (Ark.) addressed the Senate in op- position to the bill, which he characterized as the most radical and extreme measure of pro- tection ever presented. It was a practical declaration on oe et of the republican par? that the war tariff was never to be reduced, but that exorbitant taxes were to be permanent, and to be a declaration of war against foreign commerce. He had seen in the morning papers @ statement that in the republican caucus of last night it had been determined that the Seu- ate should meet at 10 o'clock every day and should remain in session indefinitely, the pur- pose being TO BREAK DOWN THE OPPOSITION to the tariff bill py physical exhaustion. The republican Senators were tosit silent in their seats and to refuse to discuss the bill. Demo- cratic Senators, he said, had interposed no objection to having early hours fixed for the daily meeting of the Senate and had remained in their places until the republican Senators had moved toadjourn. They had consumed no time unnecessarily. But they believed that they had the right and that it was their duty to discuss fairly and reasonably all measures presented. If it was the purpose of the majority to deny Senators that right and attempt to force the tariff. bill through the Senate without debate, the ma- jority would have to take the responsibility. Senators on the democratic side of the cham- ber would endeavor to preserye the right of free speech in the Senate of the United States. The tactics of silence on the part of republican Senators might prevent the full” discussion of the iniquity of the measure in the Senate, but if they hoped to prevent its discussion in the country they might as well abandon that idoa and begin to cast about for Fn aes for this most unreasonable of tariff bi QUOTING 8AM JOHNSON AND THR BIBLE.

JOHN BULL’S LUCKY SEALERS. Argentine'sGovernment Announces a Victory for Itself. THE NEWS OF THE DAY BY WIRE. THE PATAPSCO COLLISION. Searching Today for the Drowned Ex- cursionists Without Success. Barrrwone, Mp., July 29.—A crowded exeur- sion steamer, the Louise, returning from Tol- chester Beach with 1,400 souls on board last night crashed into the Bay Line steamer Vir- ginia, bound for Norfolk, at Fort Carroll. In an instant merriment was changed to horror, mad shrieks filled the air, children were trampled under feet, strong men rudely pushed “side weak women, all in an insane endeavor to get away from danger. Three persons were almost instantly killed, ® number were badly injured and ten persons are still missing. The dead are: Mrs. Keyser, Chas. Granger, five years old; Daniel Koop, ten years old. Among the injured Adolph Miller cannot recover and others are sure to die of their injuries. | It is now believed that those reported as missing jumped overboard and were drowned. Search has been made all the morning for bodies, but none have thus far been re- covered, ‘HOW IT HAPPENED. This is the most appalling accident to an ex- cursion party since the Tivoli disaster in 1878. The Louise of the Tolchester Steamboat Com- Pany was coming up with 2,000 passengers. The Virginia of the Old Bay Line was bound to Norfolk. The Louise was running at about 12 miles an hour and the Virginia at about 15 The Government of Argentine Aw nounces That it Has Triumphed.

Vierorta, B.C., July 29.—Reports from the sealing fleet received yesterday show that the boats have taken 15,747 skins, None of the schoonors were molested or even sighted by any of the American cutters, They had good hunting weather, and, judging by their half- Season's catch, the full season's catch will bes very successful one. The New York Herald's special from Sand | Point, Unga Isinnd, Alaska, dated July 11, says | the United States cutter Rush had arrived there | on the 10th instant and had boarded all the vessels remaining thei dent’s proclamation regarding Behring sea,but | would give no information as to whether the miles. Both vessels were in their right posi- tions in the channel, but a tug, going out with ® three-masted schooner in tow, bore down in the middle of the channel, showing both lights. The Louise signaled with her whistle for the tug to pass on her port side. The Virginia answered the signal of the Louise, and before the latter had time to answer back the tug got between, and both steamers veering their course, the Virginia struck the Louise on the starboard side abaft of the wheel house and ran haif through her, Fifty persons are missing and are supposed to have jumped overboard in the confusion. The scenes around the pier last night were heart- rending. Thousands of persons were looking for their relatives and they could not be per- suaded to leave. The officers of the boat were trying to comfort them. Men and women rushed from all parts of the city to the pier and Light street wharf became a scene of con- fusion. Nobody knows how many people were killed or drowned. The officers of the Louise think at least SEVENTEEN JUMPED OVERBOARD, but this is supposed to be a small estimate, as the Louise was struck in a place where the largest crowd congregates on the upward pus- sage. The dancing saloon, the ladies’ cabin and the ice-cream saloon are ail on the main deck, just where the Virginia struck her and the Virginia went half through her, knocking not only half of that deck through, but shat- tering the joiner work of the hurricane deck into splinters, The Virginia kept on her way; the tug did the same. The captain of the Louise | stopped his vessel and lowered his boats, but in the darkness could not find any of the miss- ing. The sea was running high and a heavy mist hung over the bay. When he arrived at his pier at Light street the captain immediately telephoned to all the police stations that there were three dead on board. The news spread rapidly, and as the friends of the killed had them taken away the crowd followed, shouting: “Stop, let us see their faces; we have missing ones, too,” and as the body of Mrs. Marshall was taken out covered with an oil cloth spread, a mob, as it might be called, would not allow the body to be taken from the pier until they had looked upon her | face. Latest reports estimate the missing at from seventy-five to eighty, but from the con- fusion the number cannot be definitely esti- mated. It will, however, probably be not less than fifty. __ THE TOWN IS GONE. How Wallace, Idaho, Went Out of Ex- istence Sunday Night. Spokane Faurs, Wasu., July 8—Sunday night's fire at Wallace in the Cour d'Alene mines almost annihilated the town. The ruin is complete, nota business house being left standing.
