PLUNGED TO DEATH.
A Ferry-Landing at Dartmo_.li,
Nova Scotia, Gives Way.
Scleral Hundred People Precipitated Into
the Water.
Heroic Exertions of a Party of Rescuers.

Special Dispatches to The Morning Call.
Halifax, July 11. A terrible accident
occurred at Dartmouth to-night by which a
number of people wero drowned, but the
exact number of victims wiil not be known
till to-morrow. The disaster happened by
reason of a chain attached to a ferry-boat
slipping cut of place, nnd allowing the
front of the bridge to .ink and precipitate
a crowd of six or seven hundred men,
women and children into the water.
The people were crowded there, waiting
for the ferry steamer Annex, which bad
just arrived from New York, to dock.
When the steamer got within two feet of
the landing a number of persons jumped
on board, nnd at that moment the accident
occurred. The outer end of the bridge
went down suddenly, and the terror
stricken crowd slipped off into
the harbor as though they were descend
ing a slide, piling on top of each other,
shrieking for help and scrambling for
means of safety.
For some minutes there was a confused
mass of men. women and children strug
gling in the water, but the accident had
hardly happened before a dozen
men. leaped to the rescue, nnd
the drowning people were rapidly
passed up to men standing above on the
wharves, and the rapidity with which the
rescuers performed their work resulted in
a great majority of those who fell in
being saved from death.
When the crowd slipped off the landing
stage the people around, numbering some
hundreds, crowded to the sides of the
wharf and threw sticks and boards to the
struggling mass in the water, while a num
ber of life preservers were thrown to them
from the steamer. Many were struck and
injured by flying boards aud all the bodies
recovered bear cuts aud bruises.
The statements of spectators show that
most of those who fell in wero women and
children, and the scenes immediately fol
lowing the disaster were frightful. When
all those in sight had been brought to land,
the work of grappling for the drowned was
commenced. Within two hours four bodies
were recovered, but up to midnight no
other victims bad been fouud.
lt is believed that at least three or four
others were lost, but the exact number can
not be told at present. Intense excitement
prevailed in Dartmouth and Halifax when
the news of the disaster was spread and
thousands flocked to the scene, where they
remained until a late hour watching those
v.i: . were working in the water.
Owing to the confusion it is impossible
to tell who are missing, but the number
c*. ii not be large. Trie names of those whose
bodies have been recovered are:

AN UNLUCKY DATE.
Stanley Taken Seri:u3:y 111 on the Eve cf His
Marriage.
London, July 11.— Stanley is suffering
from a severe attack of gastritis and is con
fined to his bed. It is feared the marriage,
arranged to take place at Westminster
Abbey to-morrow, will have to be post
poned.
An English astrologer, calling himself
Sagittarius, some time ago advised Stanley
and Miss Tennant not tn marry on July
12th, as he said it is a most unlucky date.
Stanley is not a superstitious man, and if
he Is able to make his appearance at the
Abbey to-morrow lie will tie there.
Among the numerous wedding gifts pre
sented to Stanley is one from the Queen, a
miniature of herself set with diamonds.
.■parrying the gift is a letter from her
Majesty, piaising iv the highest terms the
work of exploration carried on by Stanlei ,
and wishing him much happiness in his
t\edd-_ lite. Stanley Is somewhat better
this evening.
Stanley's secretary has begged the Dean
of Westminster to curtail the wedding ser
vices as much as possible, and permit
Stanley to be seated during tbe ceremony.
BALFOUR'S SALAKY.
Farcell Makes '.he C'csinr Speich in the De-
bate e_ the Bill.
London, July 11.— Parnell, in the Com
mons this evening, made the closing speech
in the debate on the vote for Balfour's
salary as Chief Secretary fur Ireland!
After remarking that he was anxious that
the £33,000,000 proposed under the Land
Purchase Bill be used to the best advan
tage, Parnell suggested that the constabu
lary be employed in the autumn in obtain
ing returns from the estates in Munster and
Coiinuueht, showing the rents paid re
spectively by occupying and non-occupy
ing tenants. If that course is taken, Bal
four wouid find the magnitude of the prob
lem he had undertaken to solve enormously
reduced. He would be enabled to so mod
ify the bill that the available fund would go
a great deal further than he had any present
idea of. it must still be insisted, however,
that local money must not be hypothecated
without the consent of the local authorities.
Balfour thanked I'arnell for the modera
tion of his speech, and promised to con
sider the matter.

THE PEDAGOGUES.
An Interesting Address on tbe Solution
of the Race Problem. .
St. Paul, July 11.— When the fourth
day's session of the Educational Associa
tion opened, Alexander Forbes of Illinois
got the fioor on a question if privilege and
read from the Constitution to prove that
the method of election of officers yester
day had been illegal, and moved that an
election now be held. His motion was im
mediately seconded, aud his speech heartily
applauded.
President Canfield said the present Con
stitution had been adopted for a small
body, and was in many ways unsuitable for
the greatly augmented numbers of the
present organization. The very rapid
growth of the association bad compelled
the waiving of many constitutional pro
visions, and it would now be physically
impossible to carry out all the exact pro
visions of the Constitution. He declared
the motion and the resolution were out of
order.
Barley of Wisconsin, who had seconded
the Forbes motion, appealed from the de
cision of the Chair, but the President re
fused to bear the appeal, and his decision
was greeted with combined applause and
hisses.
The Chair called immediately for the re
port of the President of the Educational
Council, and the matter was dropped.
The concluding paper of the morning
was devoted to the explanation of the work
and the scope of the university and the
school-extension system of reading and
lectures by United States Commissioner of
Education Vi, L. T. Harris.
During the afternoon various depart
ments met for the last time this year. The
Kindergarten Department elected as Presi
dent Mrs. Ludora Mailman of Laporte, lud.
H. S. Jones of Pennsylvania was elected
President of the Elementary .School- De
partment. The general topic of the high
school as a finishing school was considered
by the Secondary Education Department.
H. Lee Sellers of Texas and James
11. Baker of Colorado read papers on
general topics and others followed on special
divisions. In the Department on Indus
trial Educational Training Louis McLnuih
of Brooking, S. Dak., was elected Presi
dent- Hon. Aaron Gove of Denver read a
paper before the Music Department, advo
cating music ss a regular part of required
school wor_ and the placing of it on the
same ground with arithmetic and all other
branches.
At the last session to-night Professor
Baker of Colorado presented the report on
resolutions. They lavor moral training in
public schools, recommend the investiga
tion of the White Cross League literature,
indorse the American Humane Society, ad
vocate the teaching of tie ethics of politics,
approve compulsory education to a limited
extent, commend United States Commis
sioner Morgan's plans lor Indian school
lands, indorse land .rants for colleges and
demand the repeal of all the important
duties on books, The resolution regarding
spelling reform was referred to a special
committee to report next year.
Judge Gum by of the Louisiana Supreme
Court delivered an interesting address to
night on the race problem, which, be said,
concerns not ouiy the South but the whole
country. He said: "It will not settle it
self; it must not be let alone. It demands
bravo thought and determined action to
solve it by a bloodless revolution. All the
trouble iv the South arises irom the politi
cal jealousy of the negroes aud from the
fear of tlie whites that negro rule will be
restored and utterly destroy the new-born
progress of the South. A true solution of
the problem on a just basis lies in a restric
tion of suffrage, and the only just restric
tion is an educational one. It the negro
was enabled to exercise the right of suf
frage intelligently all danger and apprehen
sion of race trouble would cense. 'J his
qualification should be adopted, and the
Government should give the negroes the
means of education to qualify them for the
burdens and responsibilities of citizenship
which the Government has placed upon
them to subserve its own ends. Public ed
ucation is the peculiar and grandest distinc
tion of the American nation, and it ought
to be put into the National Constitution.
The press should cease to be partisan in the
presence of this grave issue. Statesmen
should throw aside all the temporary expe
dients and adjust this question on .basis
just and fair and safe to both races."
President J. C. Price of Livingstone Col
lege, Salisbury, N. C, next delivered an ad
dress on "Education and the Bace Prob
lem." President Price is a negro, and an
eloquent one. He argued that freedom
would never be complete until the negro
becomes educated. The solution of the
problem is the granting to the negro all the
civil rights to which he is entitled as a
member of the human family. The race
problem is the outcome of environment, aud
a change must be made in tlie character Of
that environment. While educating poor
negioes, the poor whites in the South should
not be neglected. President Canfield made
a brief closing talk, turning over the gavel
to the new President, W. It. Garrett, who
spoke for a moment, and then the thirty
fourth annual convention of the National
Educational Association was adjourned.
THREATENED INVASION.
An Army of Asiatics Preparing to Immigrate

New Yoke, July 11.— The Mail and Ex

"There is another tremendous army of
Asiatics preparing to emigrate to the
United States in the autumn. These are
Armenian paupers of this region, returned
to this cnuutiy at the expense of the Penn
sylvania churches, who are preparing a re
turn in the autumn again to test the infinite
folly of Americans. They entertain the
utmost contempt for any law of Congress,
and denounce as an infinite shame the ex
amination at New York once passed by
them. With the continual grinding of pov

Asia and Northern Africa are determined
to go-to the United States."

Terrible Scenes at a Steamship
Explosion.
Firs Prevents the Rescue of the Wounded
Laborers in the Hold.
Nine Bodies Recorered From a Literal Black
Hole at a Chicago Dock — Spon
taneous Combustion.
Special Dispatches to The Moun-in. Call.
Chicago, July 11.— A frightful explosion
occurred to-night on the steamer Tioga,
one ol the largest vessels on the Great
Lakes. Thirty-eight persons were aboard
the steamer at the time. When the work
of rescuing the survivor., which com
menced almost instantly, was well under
way only two persons could he found who
had escaped unhurt.
To make matters worse fire broke out on
the wrecked vessel and huge volumes of
flame and smoke impeded the work of the
searchers for the dead and dying.
lt was in Chicago Biver, at the foot of
Washington street, that the explosion oc
curred. This locality is the heart of the
business sectiou of Chicago, and the ex
plosion brought people running in terror
out of tall buildings blocks'away.
A STUBBORN FIXE.
Most of the victims wore Chicagoau
stevedores, who were unloading the vessels.
Only three of the Tioga's crew were re
ported on the missing list. The fire proved
a stubborn one and made it impossible at
the time to verify the report that the boilers
had exploded. A statement was current
that the explosion was due to an
other cause — the accidental lighting
of a quantity of combustibles in
the narrow confines of the Tioga's
deep hold. In the hold near the steamer's
stern was here the fire held sway.
Through the bursts of fire could be seen a
great jagged cleft in the Tioga's decks and
cabin, and aloft on the tall smoke-stack
dangled a huge framework of timber fan
tastically swaying backward and forward,
telling of the terrific force of the explosion,
which had sent it there from thirty feet
below.
While the fire was still in progress an
Associated Press representative met the
captain of the ill-fated stated steamer on
the forward deck, but the officer could uot
stop long enough in straightening out the
confusion i revailinn to give a statement of
what he knew of the wreck.
Tin* captain's statement.
Said he: "Sly name is Captain A. A.
Phelps. 1 arrived here last evening from
Buffalo in command of the Tioga, aud we
were unloading at this dock when the ex
plosion took place. This evening I was in
a freight-shed on the dock when I heard a ,
terrific noise. I ran out, when I saw a
quarter of the vessel enveloped in steam.
All of the crew of twenty-five men
were either aboard at the time
or were on the dock or in the
freight-house. I found after a careful
search that all but three were accounted for
ana safe. Those three, all from Buffalo,
were: Second engineer George Ilaid, look
out C. Levalley and deck-band William
Cutlibert. Besides the three missing,
who belonged to the crew, there must
have been from twelve to fifteen
other men killed, nnd probably half a
dozen in addition wounded. These were
laborers in the hold who were doing the un
loading. Eight colored men are positively
stated to have been below, and six or seven
others were at the batches aiding their fel
low-stevedores lower down. The explosion
occurred iv the hold, and not in the ma
chinery or boilers, as near as I could ascer
tain, mid was probably in some combustible
freight stored there.
A LITERAL BLACK hole.
The captain was at this moment called
away to the wrecked portion of the vessel,
which seemed to be gradually settling in
the river. Occasionally a wounded man
was being hauled out of the debris as the
flames permitted the police and firemen to
close in toward the literal black hole in
which the bodies of the unfortunate steve
dores still lay.
Great crowds of people gathered on the
neighboring bridges, docks and vessels and
watched the tragic scenes being enacted on
the Tioga, the immense inn hull of which,
painted black, stretched 300 feet or more
along the pier, and a swarm of people, fire
men and reporters were clambering over
her sides. Witnesses of the explosion were
busy telling new-comers the gory particu
lars.
It appeared that the explosion occurred
just after the porter, named William
Palmer, had gone below with lighted lamps.
He had scarcely reached the deck again
when a fearful shock came. It was said
that 200 barrels of oil were among the cargo*
and that these had become ignited. Others
concluded that the explosion must be due
to lack of water in the boilers and that the
second engineer, who was known to be
missing, was the man whose duty it would
be to start the pony pumps in such an
emergency. This it was declared would
have produced just such an explosion,
wrecking only one compartment of the
vessel.
NINE BEAD BODIES.
Up to 1:30 o'clock this (Saturday) morn
ing nine dead bodies have been taken from
the wreck and five or more wounded were
conveyed to the hospital. The Tioga's stern
has settled to the bottom of the river, but
as it is not deep there the decks were still
above the surface.
It is estimated that £7-5,000 will cover . the
damage. This amount is believed to be
fully iusured.
Engineer Ilaig and Steam-fitter Burns
cannot live through the night. The ad
ditional names of the colored stevedores
supposed to bave been killed are: Walter
Dukes, Henry Weatherspoon, John Goff,
Jacob Churl, Alexander Smith, J. Braxton
and Charles Foster.
A clearer Idea of tho cause of the ex
plosion will be obtained when the boilers
and cargo are examined. The boilers
seemed to be intact The cargo was kero
sene, gasoline and cotton. The Inference
is drawn that the leaking of the keroseuc
saturated the cotton and generated gases,
which Ignited when lanterns were taken
into the hold. .'.*.;.',

A FIGHT EXPECTED. ,
Big Foot and His Band of Cheyennes Refuse
to Take Th* Beef Rations.
PiEitßE (S. Dak.). July 11.— Indian
outbreak between the hostile Indians at
the Cheyenne Agency with their Chief, Big
Foot, and the Indian agent occurred yes
terday. Big Foot refused to take his beef
rations unless they were delivered to him
as he wanted them, and took his followers
to their Cherry Creek Camp, where they
now are without rations. Chief Hump,
who Is chief of the Indian police, and be
tween whom and Big Foot exists a bitter
hatred, has started for the Jailer's camp to
arrest him for disobedieure. A fight is pre
dicted before Big Foot will surrender.
BISHOP O'CONNOR'S SUCCESSOR.
A Vacancy Still Existing in the Diocese of
Omaha and Cheyenne.
St. Louis, July 11.— A special cablegram
to the Western Watchman brings news
from Rome that the Propaganda has ar
rested the appointment of Bishop Burke as
Bishop of the combined diocese of Omaha
and Cheyeuuo. The importance of the
news urines Irom the fact that it is evident
the Propaganda will not sanction the
Roman appointment as against the recom
mendation of the Congress of American
Bishops. On Bishop O'Connor's death the
Bishops of the province were called to
gether and sent names to Rome from which
to choose. It was generally believed that
Vicar-General Phillip Brady of St. Louis
would receive tho appointment. The
Bishops will again recommend as they be
fore recommended tho name of Vicar-Gen
eral Brady.

the formal announcement will soon be
made. The reorganization will be much
more simple than the public generally ex
pected, being in fact simply the transfer of
stock or shares of the different refineries
controlled by the trust to the Connecticut
corporation, whose charter was secured
some months ago by tbe employes of ll.tve
nreyer. Iv accordance with the Hues laid
down by the Court of Appeals, a cash con
sideration will be paid and the original

THE SILVER SITUATION.
Effect of the Conference Bill if It Becomes a
L-.w.
New Youk, July 11.— Tho Evening Post
figures out the silver situation as follows:
If the present Silver Bill becomes a law the
point where the Secretary of the Treasury
would stop buying silver bullion would be
129.29, which corresponds with 371.21 grains
of silver in the dollar. This is a margin of
about __ points of possible advance from
the present prices in the caso of buying ny
the Treasury, which would absorb tbo pres
ent supply of about 9,000,000 or 10,000,000
ounces of silver within the next three
months. It is to be presumed, however,
that even half as much advance would draw
in silver from elsewhere aud by increasing
the supply would hold the price in check.
DIED FROM THE SHOCK.
A Father and Son X lied by the Explosion of a
Gas Gruera'or.
New Yokk, July 11.— Christian Eckert

New York, July 11.— Foreign bankers
to-day ordered $1,000,000 more in gold for
shipment to Europe, making so far $2,000,
--000 in cold burs to go to-mor
row. There was considerable discussion
as to the reason of the shipments. Kidder,
Peabody & Co. say they expect they are
simply exchauge transactions. Some

enforce the demands of the State Depart
ment against two States of Central Amer
ica, Honduras and Guatemala, in behalf of
two Americans.
The case against Honduras is that of
Editor Hollander, an American, who pub
lished a paper in that country. He un
earthed and exposed a plot wherein United
States Minister Hall, who was appointed by
Cleveland, was engaged in a conspiracy
with prominent officials of tho Houduras
Government. For this Hollander was lirst
imprisoned, then banished from the coun
try, and his property, valued at $75,000, or
dered confiscated. Secretary Blame has de
manded that the property be not confis
cated, and that Hollander be allowed to re
turn to Honduras to settle up his affairs
and bring bis family away ; but the Hon
duras Government .bows no signs of grant
ing the demand.
The case against Guatemala is on be
half of William F. Fuqua, formerly of
Baton Rouge, La., where Iris relatives still
reside. Fuoua weut to Livingston, Guate
mala, in 1.37, and entered the employ of
the commercial linn of Anderson & Owen.
The following June the Mayor of Living
ston, while drunk, caused tbe arrest of
Fuqua for no good reason and bad him
forcibly detained. He was then released
and his demand for redress laughed at. He
pursued his endeavor to secure justice, but
lined but little assistance Irom either
Minister Hall or Secretary Bayard. After
Minister Mizner succeeded Hall the mutter
was taken up in earnest and Congressmen
Robertson and Boatuer of Louisiana ap
pealed to Secretary Blame to have the
wrongs done Fuqua righted. Minister
Mizner was instructed to take Fuqua's
claim and endeavor to have justice done.
Last week Mizner cabled in effect tbat i he
Guatemalan Government was obstinate iv
this matter, and that be virtually had been
able to accomplish nothing. Blame at
once sent instructions to Mizner, which it
is understood are to be for him to make a
peremptory demand Hint the Guatemalan
Government shall make the amende honor
able to Fuqua arid nay to Fuqua what
damages be demands for the treatment re
ceived.
Congressman Boatner yesterday received
the following letter from Acting Secretary

H'KIM-i-X'S OPPONENT.
John G. Warwick Nominated for Congress by
Ohio Democrats.
Columbus (Ohio). July 11.— There was a
supposition that when the Democratic
Congressional Convention for the Eigh
teenth District, now in session at Orrville,
adjourned last night matters would be har
monized and a nomination made during the
early balloting this morning. This was not
the case and the convention is having great
difficulty in settling upon a man to put
against McKinley. The first ballot this
morning (the thirty-eighth) stood: Alonot,
52%, Slillwell ■!&,_, Warwick 31, Zimmer
man 41, Lewis 7, H' elty 7, Sirerrick 7. On
the forty-seventh ballot Warwick took the
lead, having fifty-seven Vote., but an at
tempted stampede to him failed to curry
aud the vote fell back. A motion to ad
journ until September 3d failed to secure a
second and called forth cries of "No,"
bhow iug a determination to hang together
until the contest is ended. Alonot and
Warwick were close together on the fifty
fourth ballot, the former still holding his
52*rm and the latter having pulled up to 53.
John G. Warwick was nominated ou the
seventy-fourth ballot.
Warwick is a native of Ireland. He is a
director of several railroad companies and
tire owner of several hundred acres of
mining and agricultural lands. lie was
elected Lieutenant-Governor with Uoadley
1883.

_I_._l._-; Cactus in the B hama Islands Con-

New York, July 11.— Sir Ambrose Shea,
Governor of the Bahama Island**, is here on
his way to England, lie says: "When I
first came to Nassau, I noticed that the
people nil seemed anxious to set rid of a
certain coarse, crowding cactus, which in
trudes its noxious pretence everywhere
to the injury of less hardy but more
useful plants. Having spent my life
in the business, it took me only
a little while to discover that cactus prop
erly treated produced the finest grade of
hemp known. IT was up-hill work for me
then to gel the people to take hold. How
ever, 1 succeeded, and it will not be long be
fore much land will be taken up, nnd the
colony will bo on the high road to success
and prosperity. I believe that in twelve or
fifteen years the exports of hemp will
amount to r_l_o,ooo.ooo agaiust about
£000.000." ,
A DANGEROUS QUESTION.
President Harrison Says Free Trade Would
Cause Great Distress.
Chicago, July 11.— The Journal this even-'

Carlisle, Fa., and gives the text of a letter
written by President Harrison. .It was
written in response to an invitation to at
tend the National Grange. In it he says:
"The tariff is the question of the day,
and the people should be thoroughly
educated on lt. As there is no
doubt that the farming element is
the backbone of this or any other country,
it is necessary to understand this question
so they can choose-between free trade and
protection.' The free-trade question is a
dangerous one to handle, and if it should
win in 1893 it would cause great distress
throughout the laud, something never ex
perienced by American people."
