Nkw York, Nov. 3. Six miles oil Barne gnt, on the Jersey coast, on Thursday even ing was the steamship Vizcaja on her way to Havana. Near by was an unknown and probably unseen schooner. The night was clear the moon shining brightly; the ea smooth. Tho hour won halt past eight Seven minutes later both vessels were at the bottom of the sea, and with them sank sixty-eight of their passengers and crews. In those seven minutes n collision and death struggle with the waves had taken place, a scene had occurred which even tho dozen survivors cannot give tho details of without stopping to make sure that it is not all a horrible dream. , Fourteen of the Dead. Tlio entlro lot of passengers of the Viz caya were lost. Their names are: Senor Juan Pedro, a partner ot tho firm of J. M. Ceballos & Co., of this city, and one of the owners of tho lost steamship; M. A. Calvo, wife and son; M. Purr And two children; Mr. A. Hulz, Jose Ac&lbla, Ramon Al varez, Juan F. lledman, Oscar Islam, Ugul Pelllon and Jose M. Garcia. Twelve of the crew of seventy-seven wero saved from tho steamship. The fate ot the crew of the schooner Is still unknown. Tho .first news received of the disaster in this city was when the steamer Humboldt, from Brazil, arrived at her dock in Brooklyn havtag on board the twelve survivors of the catastrophe, which sho had picked up at laybrcak. Saved Ijy Uie llnmbolrit. Cnpt. Black, of the Humboldt, said that at daybreak his ship was oft Barnegat light. Suddenly from their off port bow camo a cry for help. Peering in that direc tion through the mist of the early morning tho officers of the Humboldt saw threo masts sticking out of tho water, and cling ing to the yards and rigging peoplo wero seen. Quickly a boat was lowered and rowed to the unfortunate people. There wero twelve of them all sailors clinging to the spars, and their, joy was unspeakable when they wero taken iu tho boat. They all bo- longed to tho steamship Vizcaya, and their names are as follows: Felipe Hazas, first officer; Gabriel Covos, second officer; Francisco Seera, first en gineer; Dr. Andres Rico, surgeon; Sercno Carlos, F. Ixipez, Juan Seyjas, Angel Leon, Jose MendluuaCnmerro, HnmouMnrtlnez, Ramon Perez and P. Arellano, seamen. CAPT. ALLEN'S DEFENSE. He llellevrs There Was No Lookout on the Vizcaya. PillLADELTniA, Pa., Nov. 4. Capt, John Allen, of the 111 fated coastwise coal schooner Cornelius Hargrave, whoso collis ion with tile Spanish passenger steam ship Vizcaya off Barnegat Thursday night resulted in the sinking of both ships and the loss of many lives, denies that he did not do his full duty as the commanding officer of the Hargrave. "I think my first mate's accounts of the cause of tho collision Is mainly correct," he said, "but I can't say that I agree with him regarding the action of the Vlzcaya's officers. My opinion Is that there was not any lookout on tho Vizcaya at all. The disaster was due to tho carelessness of the officers ou the Spanish steamship. So far as I am concerned, J Adhered .tOiBiaritlmo law and did my duty to the letter. If there had been a lookont on tho Vizcaya I really don't see how there could have been a collision. "We saw tho green lights of the steamer several miles away about at half hour be fore tho disaster occurred. Our red lights, which were in perfect order, were burning. When Perrlng informed me that astcaraer was in sight I went on deck. The steam ship was running at twelve knots an hour, and we were going along at about seven knots. Being u sailing vessel nnd on the starboard side, we had the right of way,' The steamer pressed down upon us. Feel ing that something was wrong, I took an extraordinary precaution of having a torch waved, but tho steamer kept bearing down upon us. Then I jumped for the steam whistle and sounded it. Here the Vizcaya people seemed to realize the danger and the steamship's course was changed, but it was too late. Both vessels were so large that neither could veer about in au instant. Wo struck her amidships. That's bow it all happened. It was gross carelessness on board the Vizcaya. I hear that I have been nccused of having deserted Second Mate Walker and lookout Hurry Gainer; that I Intentionally left them on the sinking vessel. That Is not true. Walker was or dered to take charge of the boat so that the Spaniards could not steal It. When we pushed oil from the sinking vessel neither Walker uor Gainer was around. "It was their fault that they did not get Into the boat. After we had left tho Har graves I neard Walker yelling to me, I yelled back for him and Gainer to jump overboard, and we would pick them up. You see, If we had gone back to the sink ing schooner the Spaniards would have made a rush to get Into the boat, and un doubtedly all of us would have been drowned. If Walker and Galuer had jumped overboard then we would have picked them up. I think I did what was right." Capt. Allen will remain In the city for a couple of days an then will start for his home at Fall River, Mass. The Cornelius Hargraves had somo twenty owners, of whom Capt, Allen is one, They claim that their total loss will be fu4,000, the in surance on the vessel being very light. Discord In the Chulr, Drilling n volunteer clwir is tho most exasperating work over undertaken by a human being. In tlio first placo it is morally certain that at least half a dozon members think they know more, than the leader, and two or three aro al ways better informed than tho man who wroto tho music, so they offor, with cheerful alacrity, the most idiotio sug gestions as to the manner in which it ehould'be performed, and fool innch ag grieved if their ideas aro not acted on. Then tho women nro always either bo devoted to each other that thoy keep up a constant chattor when thoy should be singing or listening to tho leader's di rection, or are quarreling and "put each other out," They aro not responslblo for all tho trouble, but when they do quarrel they generally manage to enlist tho men in the service ot both sides, and the first thiig tho leader knows ono half his choir has quit and tho other half is about to do so because they aro not numerous enough to mako a credltablo chorus. A choir leader says: "I have gone into church on Sunday morning and found six or eight members sitting in the con gregation, instead ot In their places, and the rest glaring at them from tho organ stand. It is fun for thorn and for the people, but it's death to tho loader." St. lira Id Glolie-Deinocrat. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The World's News Gleaned, Sifted and Condensed.

COLUMBIA'S POPULATION The Grand Total Announced By the Census Bureau. 62,480,540 PEOPLE ON THE LIST. An Increase of Over 13,000,000 Since the Count or 18BO New York Stato Leads Aealn In Population The Various States and Ttiolr Iucrease Since 1880. Washington, Nov. 1. The census office has announced the population of the United States, as Bbown by the first count of per sons and families, exclusive ot white per sons In Indian Territory, Indians on reser vations and Alaska, to be B2,4S0,540. These figures may be slightly chauged by later and more exact compilations, but such changes will not be material. In 18S0 the population was 50,155,872. The abso lute Increase ot the population In ten years Intervening was 12,324,757 and the percent age of increase was 24.57. In 1870 the popu lation was stated as 38,558,371, According to these figures the absolute increase In the decade between 1S70 and 1880 was 11,597,412 and tho percentage ot Increase was 30.08. The bulletin announcing these figures Is addressed to Secretary Noble and signed by superintendent Porter. It says: Superintendent l'orter Kxplalns. "Upon their face these figures Bhow that the population has increased between 18S0 ond 18U0 only 727,245 more than between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of Increase has apparently diminished from 30.08 to 24.57 per cent. If these figures were derived from correct data they would indeed be disappointing. Such a reduction In the rate ot Increase In the face ot the enormous immigration during the past ten years would argue a great dlmtnuatlon in the fecundity of the population or a correspond' lng Increase In its death rate. These fig. urea are, however, easily explained when the character of tho data used is under stood. R is well known, the fact having been demonstrated uv extensive and thor. ough investigation, that the census of 1870 was grossly deficient In the southern states, so much so as not only to give nn exagger ated rate ot Increase ot the population be tween 1870 and lbSO in these states, but to affect very materially the rate of increase lu the country at large.

Governor Hill's Protest. Albany, Nov. 1. Governor Hill has written a long letter to Secretary Noble protesting against the denial of Mayor Grant's request for a recount of New York city's population, founded upon the secro- uiry-s uisueuer in Lue accuracy oi uie mu nicipal census. After nrKUlna and auotlnir tho law to prove that Secretary Noole can order a re count if he so wills, Governor Hill says the secretary's belief lu the correctness of the federal census Is not shared by the people of New York. He adds: "Nor do the people of that city appear to share your belief In the unimpeachable character of the federal enumerators. This Is a timo for plain words. Every enum erator selected to count the inhabitants of that great Democratic city was a partisan of tho party now iu control of the national government, appointed for past political service and upon the recommendation of their local party leaders." THE FUGITIVES ARRIVE. Messrs. Dillon and O'llrlen Iteaeli Amer ica In Safety. New York, Nov. 3. Mr. William O'Brien, M. P., and his wife; Mr. John Dillon, M. P., J. D. Sullivan, M. P., and his wife and Timothy Harrington arrived here Sunday on the steamer La Ohara pagne. A reception committee represent ing the united Irish societies ot New York, accom panied by several buudred members of the National league and the various Irish so cieties, met them at Quarantine. Upon the arrival of the steamer at her dock a recep tion was held on JOHN DILLON. her deck ond at 11:30 the visitors were driven to the Hoffman house. The party had scarcely reached tho hotel when Gov ernor Hill called unon them. The gov ernor warmly welcomed them to the city and state, expressed his hearty sympathy with the cause they represented and signed his name to the address of welcome that hud been nrenared by the Irish societies. Mavor Grant also called and expressed eiitinients similar to those of the governor and also appended his name to the address of welcome. To the representatives of the press Mr, O'llrlen related the details of his escape from Ireland as follows: "We delayed our trip as long as there was any chance of our being able to visit America In the in terval between the sentence and the appeal. We saw that the govern ment was deliber ately eating away that interval, and as soon as that be came evident wo came away. The plan was simplic ity itself. We went out of tho front door of a conspic uous house In Dublin without any disguise at all. We drove in WILUAU o'lminx. a friend's carriage to D.ilkoy, supped at the.house of Mr. Healy, and that night at miumght we were rowed aboard the vacti St. Patrick, which set sail In a cale. from Kingstown at once. While we were being pravisionea, Just berorethe start, the coast guard camo alongside and questioned uapi. jsiurpny. sheriff Ulancy, of Dublin was with us. "We escaped detection and sailed for the Welsh coast, whero we lay threo days be calmed, wlthiu a pistol shot of the shore and in lull view of the coast cuards. Then we were becalmed three days more right In tho course of English shipping In the Channel, and it half the scrutiny had been given to us that was exercised In searching outbound vessels we would have been de tected sure. We reached tho French coast iu the eveuingof the seventh day and went to Paris." Mr. O'llrlen then read a statement ot the object of the visit of himself and Mr. Dil Ion, which is made at the dcslro and upon the nuthorlty of Mr, Parnell, nnd predicted that a general election would occur iu Great Ilritaln In loss than two years. Aftc remaining here until Nov. 4 the visitors will hold meetings In Philadelphia, Dos- ton, Newark and Jersey city. They will tuen noiu n series ot meetings here and af terwards divide Into two or three parties anu make a tour of the country, Tho bwullows Are Wrong, Tho British glowworm is steadily do creasing in numbers, and eiUomologista xear mat it win uecomo extinct as well an extinguished.

Secretary Noble has addressed tho foMowlug communica tion to Governor Hill In reply to his re cent letter utglng a recount of tho city of Now Yorki ' . WisniKOTOH, Nov. t, 1890. lion. DarU n. Hill: VtXK Sib Your communication of tho Slat ult, was duly recelred. There had slroady been dellv. ared to me a letter from th mayor of the city of New York on tlio same subject the claim of that city to a recount ot lta population by tho United States cenmis authorities While you hare added Uie weight of the governor's onlce to the complaint, you have fulled to add to those already presented by the mayor a single suggestion of the slightest value. It was wholly unnecessary for you to remind mo of tho pro visions of the constitution of the United States relating to enumeration and apportionment of representatives or the doctoral college) or that provision of the census law allowing amend ments and recounts. All of this was Very fami liar law to me. and your quotation of It might hare been copied from my lost opinion delivered to the mayor, and which you stato you had read In the newspnjicrs. No Kxhortntlnn Needed, Neither did I need any exhortation upon the subject of fair apiortlonmenU, as an equal ap portionment throughout the United Btates, and the perfect freedom and equality of tho Individ ual elector Is a reform to which I have gUen my earnest supjiorc, and which Is worthy that of eiery public olllcer and every Individual cltlteu. Had you read the corresponce with the mayor,' whose tmmediMo concern this business has been, you would have fouud )our topio already ex hausted Bucb app trtlonment you may, how erer, be reminded would cert-Mnly ond perma nently promote the success of tho iarty to which you incorrectly say all the enumerators of tho city or Itew otk belong. Tho Imputations of Trnud, It Is much to Ik) regretted that In a letter to me when acting upon a purely onlcial matter you, as governor, should speak as a partisan and im pute a corrupt purpose to the census enumera tors to secure party advantage by diminishing the count of the city of New York. xour Imputation against the enumerators and the census work Is so entirely gratuitous and un founded as to be slanderous, as you should know mat your abusive course could not tend to pro mote that fair and judicial consideration I have been disposed to giro to the application of the mayor. Your charge lmputiug frauduleut mo tives to others rather suggests that as your party thinks an Increased population would Inure to its advantage tho count of the police (taken as it has beeu since the police board or New York has been made partisan) neods the very closest scru tiny and analysis The charges now being made in New York against the city government by Lvmocrats are not ot a kind to relieve any work done by It from tho gravett suspicion of reckless partisanship. lie Hulds tho Governor Hcsponslhle, Your accusations, heretofore coullned to In terviews and stump speeches, began even beforo the enumeration was announced. Some of tbe Democratic newspapers lu New York and else where made the ceiuus enumerators' work very difficult by exciting the prejudice of Ignoranco against it, and it is to be remarked thut you, as early as the 1st of July last, made au mtdreta before the lleudrlcks club, at Indianapolis, ia which you bitterly assailed the census ofllco and its work, and asserted, without any knowledgo whatever, the same evil purpose you now send to me officially. You then repeated the newspaper criticisms and spoke of the "great army of in quisitors sent prying into our bouses asking im pertinent questions, making false records," etc., and you did not fail to notice tho possible cfTect of all this In raising popular distrust and disin clination to respond to tbe enumerators. You did not succeed In these efforts to any consider able degree, but you are largely responsible for any Inaccuracies that may exist. "Continuous and 1'nrtlsnn Assnnlts." You set the example by denouncing a law of congress, and thus suggested Its violation by your less acute political followers. Your early and continuous partisan assaults ujion tho census nave had necessarily a motile which is easily dis cerned. That motive points to au unjust end which I certainly shall not prOinoto. It is but just that there Bhould be no delay In completing the ceusus that tlio purposes for whicii it Is in tended may be accomplished. xou further asserted hi the speech mentioned that '-it (the ltepublicau party) will not repu- diato that even more plainly declared policy ot uroamng tne power or tne sona souin lu presi dential as welt as congressional elections by de liberately Ignoring tho vast increases of popula tion in that section of tho country during the last decado." The truth is, no complaint what ever has been received from any southern state, as a state, ngainst the census; and the only serious claim or nn erroneous diminution of pop ulation and representation by a state camo from the Republican stato of Oregon. Out of the 2,781 counties in all the states and territories, there has been no complaint whatever, savofroni Muttnonah county in Oregon. There has not been a complilnt from any southern city that has not been promptly nnd satisfactorily adjust ed without a recount, save at Columbus Go, and there was found an increase of 1,188 only. A Question of l'utronuge, lie Savs. You seem to bo against a census to be taken even by your own state, for you vetoed a hill passed by its legislature lu IttSS, and which was required hy Its constitution. It is reasonable to suppose that the patronage you seem to think so Influential lu political affairs would not have fallen In your hands, or, judging you by tho standard you apply to others, your official action would have been just the opposite ot what it was. As I have demonstrated, the great body ot the people of the United Stales are content with the census, and aro uninfluenced by partUan assaults such as yours. Sorry Ho Had to Do It. Sustained hy their confidence, I shall proceed witli the discharge of my ofllcial duties In this and all other business coming before me, care fully and justly, correcting what I may be con vinced Is wrong, and fearlet-aly adhering to what 1 believe to be right. I regret the necessity of addressing tlio chief magistrate of the leading stato of tho Union in the terms I have employed, but I find my Justification in the reckless intem perance of language you have seen lit to use, language which Is lacking as much in truth as it Is In the dignity befitting your great office, which in the past has been filled by eminent men of both political parties of New York. Upon tho merits of the ma) or's application I shall reply to him. Yours truly, John W, Koblk. tseris.i--- FOUR WERE KILLED. A Fatal Smash up on the 1)., L. and IV. Near Syracuse. Syracuse, N. Y., No. 4. The Philadel phia and New York express on the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, while descending tho steep grade near Ilock cut, threo inilt'S from this city, last evening crashed Into a coal train standing on a switch and waiting for the track to bo cleared for Its passage southward. Both locomotives wero completely wrecked and tho baggage and mall cars were crushed to pieces. Of tho other cars on the passen ger train, four in number, three were thrown from the track, the force of tho collision hurling them into a position al most at right angles with the rails. The single Pullman car, which was next to the mail car, kept its place. Michnel Burke, of this city, engineer of the passenger train, and J, W. Doyle, of Great Bend, Pa., engineer ou tho coal train, wero killed outright with their fire men, Jerry Lee, of this city, and Morton Fernau, of Great Bend. Tho four men wero burled under tho wreck. Doyle was dug out by the train hands, with the assistance of somo ot tho passengers. The other three remained in the wreck nil night. As by a miracle none of the passengers wero killed and only one of them, Mrs. Thomas Corcoran, of No. 21 Myrtle ave nue, Bultalo, was seriously Injured. Mrs. Corcoran was on her way homo from Cort land. Sho had two ribs broken nnd her right wrist was dislocated, She also sus tained severe Injutlos to her spine and her left, shoulder was badly bruised. She Is now at St. Joseph's hospital in this city, aud her chances of recovery are very doubt ful. Michael Tiernoy, of Great Beud, Pa., head brakeman on the conl train, was also badly Injured. Atthetlmoof tlio collision he was In tho cab with Doyle and Fernan, waiting for the passongcr train to pass. He was burled In the wreck, but was got out In a few mltmtos. Tiernoy was so badly scalded that the skin peeled oft from his right side and hip. 1IU face and head were bruised aud his right knee was seri ously injured. It is thought that lie may recover. A. K. Kimball, of Oswego, N. Y a brakeman ou the passenger train, and Baggageman V. II. Coimcruall, of tho same place, were buried under the baggage car, but neither was seriously hurt. C. C. Darby, of Cortland, N, Y., a postal clerk of Syracuse, president of the State Liquor Dealers' association, sustained slight In. juries. The wildest excitement prevailed for au hour or two after tho news of the disaster reached this city, owing to the fact the railroad authorities telephoned that tha cars had taken lire, and asked the assist ance of the fire department. This Infor taatlon happily proved to be erroneous. Among tho passeugers was Henry Wes ton Kdwards, of Imilon, Knglund, the famous truveler, who has made tho cir cuit of the globe three times, nnd who ac companied Nellie Illy on largo part of her record breaking journey.
