Hurricane— Tbe Surond Captain's
Story.
I/>NT>ON. March 3 —The British steam
ship Yanartva. Cap! Weston, which left
Newport News March 10. bound for Glas
gow. arrived at Greenock tonight. The
cap'ain reports that on Mar-h 11 while in
Htltude SI. long'tude 71. he picked up a
•mail boa: containing sixteen survivors of
the jkearner Ville de Sr. Naxalre. which
foundered In the great storm of March 7,
off f'ape Harteras. They had been without
food and water for four days and were in
a state of extreme exhaustion, bordering
on madness.
They *ay that four boats were launched,
two con aining twenty-nine each, the third
seventeen and the fourth six. The boat
picked up by the Yanariva was one of the
t»o that took iwenty-nine, but thirteen
of these had succumbed to exposure and
thirst. The last the survivors saw of the
other boats was on the day the vessel
foundered, when they sighted two of them
lathed together and empty.
The circumstances under which the res
cued boat was picked up by the Yanariva
wire most thrilling. The captain and third
officer. wht> were on the bridge, saw a dark
object on the water, several miles away.
The steamer was put about, and in less
than an hour met the lifeboat of the Ville
de St. Nazalre. The sea was running
rough, but the Yanariva's crew managed
to haui the boat on board. They found, to
their amazement, the occupants lying ab
solutely helpless tn the bottom, and two of
them ravintr mad. The only »i«n of food
was one email tin of biscuits. Three days
passed before the rescued men had suffi
ciently recovered to take solid food.
The survivors of the original twenty-nine
are: Second tap?. Pierre Nuoiai. Second
Engineer ciermay Giraud. Third Engineer
Prosper L.orezettl. Nicholas Siauvianelle.
of Port au Prince. Haiti, and twelve sea
nun from Martinique.
Seond Capt. Xuoall says that on March
6 the vessel sprang a leak A violent hur
ricane blew that night and during the fol
lowing day. On the morning of March 8
the vej«i»i had sunk so low In the water
that it was necessary to take to the bo;Us,
although the storm was at Its height. The
Yiile de St. Xasatre had a complement of
e:«ht lifeboats. The rtrstt four launched
were dashed against the side of the vesael
and crushed. The other four got clear, but
soon t>arted company.
"Our boat." said the second captain,
"did not ship a drop of water when get

to the promptness with which we sheared

The moat that can be said is that the levee*

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
House Deliate on the Tariff Bill to
Close \\ edne*da> Senate l»u«>
With the Treatj.
WASHINGTON, March 28.—Three more
days will see the end of the struggle over
the Dingley tariff bill in the hoiae. Tae
bill wlil be open for amendment **»tii I
o'clock Wednesday, wb> n the debate will
close on a two hours' display of oratory.
The voting will begin at 3 o'clock on that
day. So far as known, there will be no
break in the Republican ranks, but at
least four of the Democrats will brave
the party whip and east their votes for
the bill, three from Louisiana and on«
from Texas. There is also a probability
that one Populist and one Siiverite will
vo:e for this protective measure.
I>Hig.ey, who has engineered the bill
through the eddies of debate with great
•kill, will devote 'bis energies to pressing
forward the consideration of the all I with
the utmoot expedition, in order to com
plete k before the vote i* laken. The
Democrats are pursuing a cour»» which
has* thus far rendered progress extremely
difficult. Rjt fourteen of the IC2
of the b.ll were disposed of in rhe two
days of la*t week. At this rate it would
require twenty-one days for the house,
sitting seven hours a day, to complete the
consideration of the bill under the five
minute rule. If the present tactics of the
opposition are persisted in, tt is not im
pr .bable that sessions will be held
tomorrow and Tuesday.
The policy of the Democrats thus far
has been to attack every Item and make
it the text for general assaults on the bill.
It is understood that they will make a
particularly strong stand against the
steel and sugar schedules. They d«o not
hope to accomplish anything, however, in
th" way of amendment. They have ma le
trus** the keys-ore of their opposition up
to this time, and the only riling which
they raally believe they can a- romplish
is to secure a record vote on an amend
ment such as was offered on Friday, pro
v.dir.g fo*p the s»ns{w»nsion of the duty on
any article <xm?rol!ed by a trust or <mnj
bination. They propose to do this, if
possible, by a motion to re- -om,Tilt with
instructions, after the bill is reported
from the committee of the whole. There
aeems to be a question, however, whether
this motion will be entertained tinder the
i»per -»l order under which the nouse is
opera ting.
The fact thai the reading of the bill
may not be completed under the five-min
ute rule will not be wise to interfere with
the power of the ways and means commit
tee to perfect It. Their amend
ments are in order to any part
of the bill at any time, and when Jt
bec flne* apparent that the Mil cannot be
complied Dingley can a?<ame charge and
clear up all the amendments he desires to
offer.
After the tar.ff hill is passed on Wsdnes
day. the hou«e protnMy will adjourn three
at a time, until the appropriation bills
are returned to It. If they are amended by
*fce senate the house will probably accept
the opportunity offered for talking, and
as no injury can be done tt is likely that
the leaders will indulge the members to
some extent tn this regard.
The senate w :| de% «e its energies this
we?k to the arbitration treaty, with the
vn«ru« h 'pe on the part of s< me of the
fe<ends of the instrument of securing the
final vers on Friday or Saturday. The *en
%■* w;ll early t >morr*,w go into executive
n 'o consider the treaty if no ur.for
seen rircumstancs prevents, and thus af
ford nanple time to complete sli speeches
on Wednesday. when th* voting I* to be
rtn on the miscellaneous amendment*. The
-or.siderat'on of amendments is to continue
Thurslaj prov»ded nr-w ones are offered,
after Wtdreadays* proceeding*.
Lat*-r than that -la) the senate proceed
ings are not clear. Consent to naming a
dafor the vote on the treaty itself is still
withheld, and will not be given until the
fate cf the becom* known
It is surmised tftat If the Chilton amend
