Havurax, April 4. —The steamer Dan- iel Steinmann, from Antwerp for this port, is rsforted sunk off Sambro, about twenty miles from this port. She struck during last night and only nine are so far reported to have reached land, out of 140 on board. Intelligence so far from the wrecked steamer aro very meagre. It is said the captain and five of the crew are the only persons saved. The ship had 90 passen- gers, and 34 of crew. Twenty passengers were to land here—-all Germans, and 70 for New York. She is supposed to have struck on the ‘‘Siaters,” ofl Sambro, last night, and shortly after sunk. The masts are now visiblo from the shore. Intelli- gence did not reach here until this after- noon. Considerable of the cargo was for here, the balance for New ;York. The owners have gone to the wreck. NEw York, April 4.—At the offiec of consignees, Funch, Edge & Co., regard- ing the loss of thelsteamer, Daniel Stein- mann, itwaslearned the steamer generally carried a fow cabin passengors and freight trade. The cargo would probably reach 2,000 tons, 400 tons for Halifax, the balance for New York. They considered Captain Schoonhaven a very careful, painstaking man. The Daniel Steinmann was built at Autwerp in 1875. She was 177 feet long, 34 feet beam, and 25 feet depth hold. Her gross tonage was 1,780 tons. Her name was formally **The Khedive.” She has been running in the White Cross line since 1878. At one time she was consid- ered a very ‘‘lucky” vessel, but during vhe lust two years, she has met with var- ious mishaps. Three passengers from the steamer Steinmann were saved with the captain and five of the crew, whose names were not ascertained. They are on Sambro Light island, the only communication with which is by signals in rough woather. 'lo-night the weather is thick and rainy, and it is uncertain if any fur- tner particulars can be had. Reporters left here for Sambro by land, but the {n»ds are bad. The very latest regard- hg the wrecked steamer is that of a crew of thirty-nine and the captain and ninety passengers, | l | ) | | | | \ \ ) ONLY NINK REACHED THERE, the captain, five of the crew, and three passengers. Theso are still on Sambro island, Owingto a heavy sea the sur- vivors are not likely to reach the main- land until noon to-morrow. No particu- lars can therefore be learned in regard to the disaster at presont. The govern- ment steamer Newficld left this city this afternoon for tho wreck. The fog is 8o thick that it is impossible to reach the fatal spot. The captain thoughs it imprudent to go nesrer the wreck than five miles. to-morrow to reach ths spot where the steamer was lost. Steam tugs sent cub FAILED ¥0 REACH 1T by ten miles. A wrecking schooner with divers will leave in the morning to re- cover bodics and that portion of the cresw that can be saved.

Hoadley, in a letter of thanks to Sheriff Hawkins, expresses approval of his course and con- duct, but makes remark that it was per- haps not proper to express an opinion in advance of the investigation which is to be made. No provisions, however, have yet been made for an investigation of the methods employed in defending the court house and jail, but in &n open letter to Judge Matthows who tried Berner, published to-dey, which L. C. Campbell, the leading lawyer for'Berner’s defense, asks for an investigation by Judge Mat- thews, aided by Judge Avery and Judge Force. GOVERNOR HOAWLEY has senta dispatch to Colonel Hunt, com- manding the first regiment, to be read to the command, in which he says: *'I de- rive great pleasure in congratulating youn upon your gallant and patriotic service directly and most judiciously rendered under the most trying circumstances in the defense of the court heuse and jail ” The military guard hae been almost wholly withdrawn from the court house and jail surroundings.

Cnurcaco, April 4,—The opening on 'change to-day was marked by the same phenomenal excitement that has been the rule for the last week or two. But from noon up to the close, at 1 o'clock, matters hovered on the edge of a panic. greater, and to add to the confusion and uproar a sharp decline in values was ex- tended to all, compelling brokers to ex- ercise rare gencralship in filling orders and in saving thew ‘‘short” customers from a general wreck. THE FRIGHTFUL BREAK in wheat, occasioned by rumors of a grain aaic in London and a lack of confidence 1n the stability of a number of large Chi- 0 commission houses to stand tho strain, continued in a downward tenden- oy of prices. When May wheat had touched 814c the tremor which had seized the bull crowd subsided in a measure and prices reacted 1¢, May closing on "change at 82fe. When the regular board had adjourned there followed a prolific call- ing for marging, and as far as could be learned, wero generally responded to, and while the names of some old and responsible firms wero very freely used as BEING IN TROUBLE, up to late in the afternoon there appear- ed to be no warraut for it. On call board in tho afternoon there was a still great- er stiffening of prices, which served to create a somewhat better feeling. Great interest at the opaning was tendered in the provision pit, and prices of pork and lard felloff rapidly from the start, Pork declined 50 to 60 cents per barrel in the firat half hour, but after that it rallied 25 to 30 cents, but fell off again during the'closing scare in wheat, kut recovered The tension could hardly have been |, while others scout the iden, saying that Lindblom has not only done a heavy business with the advantages of a private wire to New York, but a paying busi noss as well. Ho has just moved into FORTY THOUSAND RESIDENCE, and the common belief to-night is he has enough to keep the larder well stocked It is understood that Lindblom's Now York partuners, Miller & Williams, also withdraw, and that the business is to be turned over to Van Mirk & Co. Though THE DEOLINE IN WHEAT has been so heavy within tho past week this grain _has been so generally and widely held that nobody has been badly caught. The heaviest loser is said to be a prominent packer, who is able tostand it and havesomemillionslet. He isreported to have held about eight million bushels at an average of 96 cents, and to have resold a large part of it at a loss of ten cents, It 1s said by a prominent dealer, that bottom has been reached. Wheat can be delivered in Liverpool for 9 cents, a price unparalleled in the history of the British grain trade. MILWAUKEE MARKETS. Miuwavker, April 4.—The board of trade was a scene of great excitement all day, owing to the continued panic. Tho oldest speculators ana statisticians have their prophecies disproved and are so lost in their reckonings that fear has seized them, and they find safety only in flight avoiding the market altogether. Since yeaterday dealers have been more cau- tious than ever, and the day's wlming undoubtedly put many on their guar against disaster. The lowest figure for ay wheat was 84}c; June, 85fc. In the afternoon prices were a triflastronger, recovering 4 to jo, May closing at 84%c and June at 83§. Lard and pork are not dealt in on the board, and only cash corn and oats, speculation confining itself to wheat and barley. Business men ad- mit the situation is very grave, as largo loan companies are not so disposed to advance money to farmors when they know it coats farmors more to raise wheat than the price it is now selling at. The loweet figure that May wheat touched during April, 1883, was $1 04, and the highest 81 43§, To-morrow is looked forward with great anxiety. e A FOREST FIRE. A Destructive Conflageation Raging in the Turpentino Woods cf North Carolina. Raueenr, N. C., April 4,—For three days and nights the most destructive fires ever known have been devastating the southern border of the state, extend- ing into six or seven counties. Vast for- ests of long leaf pine were attacked. These form the chief source of timber supply. High winds fanned the flames into fury and hundreds of thousands of trees wore burned. Some of tho largest turpentine orchards in the state were burned and many farm houses were de- |80l quick at better prices than for soenn CED stroyed. Peoplo are bra vely fighting the fire. A number of towns narrowly escaped destruction. At Menly, on the Raleigh & Augusta railway, a number of houses were burned. Large stores, lumber and railroad sills on the line were bnrned, and a dozen turpentine distilleries ruined. The country in great stretches is a black- ened wilderness, The extent of the dis- aster is not yet known or fully realized. Many families are homeless. The fire swept for fifty miles in one direction and thirty in another, few places, it is re- orted, escaping. The fire was caused gy the burning of brush, and the high winds drove the sparks into the turpen- tine woods. The fire extended far into South Carolina on the line of the Char- lotte, Columbia & Augusta railroad. Trains have been rurning through miles of fire. Two dwellings and eight or ten barns were burned in that district. So far as known no lives lost. e eat——— St. Paul Rallroad Tarifl, Sr. Pavz, Minn., April 4,—A mooting of the St. Paul commuttee of the North- western Traftic Association was held yes- terday afternoon to arrange details end fix rates f-r loca! points on lines of the association, Allzoads in the association were represonted by two orthree officials The weeting washarmonious, The com- mittee ndso agrsed upon a number of special rebute rates.

Cuicaao, April 4, —A suit was brought in the United States circuit court Wednesday by District Attorney Tuthill against Theodore Stimming. It was for $2,000, and cited that the action was en- tered for the United States to secure money paid to Stimming while acting as quartermaster of the Thirty-first Iowa volunteers and assistant quariermaster ot the Second brigade, First division, Fif- teenth army corps. The charge was also made in the suit of €500 (or, as was rather indefinitoly specified in the lan- guage of the action) *‘to money had and received by him"” (Stimming). There was something peculiar in the hling of the suit AFTER TWENTY-ONE YEARS had elapsed since the time when the act 18 alleged to have been committed. Stimming is an employe of the postoffice, being superintendent of the north divis- jon. He isa German, and is a candi- date for state treasuver. It is under- stood certain interests identified with those of Logan's licutenants are anxious that John C. Smith, now treasuver, shall be nominated for lieutenant governor. As Cook county cannot have a licuten- ant governorship and the office of treas- uver, too, it issa’'d that Stimming’s can- didacy is frowned upon by this_interest, which is favorable to David T. Littler. It is further said that efforts have been made to HAVE STIMMING DRAW OUT, but that his friends have refused to per- mitit. The explanation of the suit now is that every offort having failed, it has been brought against Stimming.. _WASILING fON NOTES THE TARIFF SI'00K. Regular Press Dispat:hes.

Murray, of Utah, appeared be- fore Springer's committee to-day to an- swer changes made againat him by Rep- resentative White, of Kentucky; Henry Diven, an ex-deputy marshal, and G, I. Chase. These charges were, in sub- stance, that Giov, Murray, whils United States marshal of the district of Ken- tacky, collected illegal feos, made illegal charges for guards end for transporta- tion of prisoners, Ho ssid in bis an- ewer to-day: ‘‘Every accusation here attempted to bo rsde is eight years ofd.

Peru owes nothing to Eng- land as a government or state, and conse- quently the loans referred to cannot be made & subject of diplomatic influonce.
