Tho revenue cutter McLean nrrhed here to-day, having on board Chief Officer Bnj d, of the Morgan line steamer El Dorado. He left his vessel on "Wednesday and was making his way to Key West in a small boat TV hen picked up by the Mc Lean. He reports that on the trip from New York to New Orleans, the KJ Dorado at midnight Tuesday struck an unknown rock, bearinif west southwest of Hen and Chickens shoals, Great Bahama banks, tearing a large hole in her port side. Hcrfornajd eompartment filled rapily. It wns found necessary to bench her She now lies 12 miles west of the Isaacs in five fathoms of water. Mr. lloj d, who left the El Dorado on Wednesday afternoon, reports that the ves sel is resting easy, but in a dangerous local ity in bad weather. If the weather con tinues good she will be Baled. Assistance has been telegraphed for to New York, and the McLean will leave for the scene of the wreck this afternoon, taking provisions for the crew of the wrecked vessel and diners' pumps and material for closing the leak. IU direction of the Secretary of the Trcasury'all assistance possible w ill be given the El Dorado by the McLean, When Boj d left the fire and engine rooms remained Iree of water, and if the bulkhead remains intact it will, he says, be of much assistance. If rough weather comes on it will be necesr sary to fill the after compartments so as to have the vessel rest on the bottom easily. Captain Bryne and crew remain by the vessel. No lives were lost.

A Beported Iron Consolidation Re ceived With Suspicion. THE MARKET UNAFFECTED BY IT. Some Bis Producing Companies of tlie lake Superior Begion. THAT EXTRACT GOOD-SIZED DIVIDENDS fFFIClAL TEI.EOIUX TOTIIK pjSrAJFU.l Chicago, Aug. p. The report of the re cent consolidation of the Minnesota Iron Company with the Ch,ic?go and Minpesotft Ore Company, which wns sent out from De troit affew days ago, is received with sev eral grains of salt iu Chicago. One of the best informed iron ore men. hero talked freely to The Dispatch; correspondent in reference to the reported combine and its. effect an the iron ore market, in the course of which some other iron ore mat ters were touched upon. "I do not take muqh stock in the report,'' said the gentleman, whose name is. sup pressed at his request. "It seems to have originated in Cleveland ajid was sent from there to Minnesota and from there over the country, The Minnesota Iron Company is a corporation with an authorized capital of 520,000,000 and with an actual capital of $14,000,000, With tho exception of the Chandler Iron Company, whioh has a capital of about 51,000,000, it js. the ouly extensive operator in the Minnesota district, and produces about nine-tenths of the ore mined iu that district. ANOTHER BIG COMPANY. Tho Chicago and Minnesota Ore Company has a cash capital of $2,000,000 and owns a. large amount or ore-prouucing territory m the Minnesota district, but it is not mining ore at all. There has been some talk about a consolidation, but it has not been consum mated, and I think jt is yery doubtful that it will be. If a consolidation should be made it will not have the slightest effect on the general market. There are three other great ore-producing districts in the Lake Superior region, the Gogcbee, the Mar quettc, and the Menominee, any one nf which produces more ore than the Minne sota district, Besides, each produces all the varieties of ore to be found in any of tho others. There is not the slightest possibility of combining those four great ore-producing districts, with their product ot between seven and eight million tons per year, In iron ore, buyers have the widest possible competition, I would be perfectly willing to make this broad statement, that there is no more possibility of making a combina tion of all the ore mines of the Lake Supe rior districts than there would be to make a combination to prevent mice from eaing cheese." "Do you know anything about the profits that are being made by the ore-mining com panies?'" "I know that the Lake Superior mines, that are fair producers, are money-makers; the stockholder get very fair returns on the capital invested and most of the com panies are dividend payers. The rate of profit varies greatly, but it is im possible to state what it is, but most of the good companies are paying frpiu 0 to 12 per cent per j ear." "Is there any tendency on the part of manutacturers to own and operate their own mines?" NOT IN THE BUSINESS. "No; as far as I have observed the ten dency is all in the contrary direction. Tne Illinois State Company, which is the largest consumer of ore here, uoes'not have a dollar inv ested in iron ore mining, nor does the Calumet Iron and Steel Company, nor the Iroquois Furnace Company. I do not know of any Cleveland manufacturing con cerns that are mining their own ore, but I think there are pome In Pittsburg which mine ore in the Menominee district and also in the Minnesota district, but not on a large scale. "The reason for that is very plain. A manufacturer requires a variety ot ores, and to obtain it he would have to go into iron mining extensively. The business has fallen almost wholly into the hands of mining companies. During the past few vpars the prices of iron are have been steadily on the decline; the rate of reduction from year to year has been about equal to the fall in the price of pig iron, There is no special tcst son for this, other than competition and the operation of the law of supply and de mand." POSITION OF CHICAGO. Speaking of Chicago as an iron ore center the gentleman quoted said that while the consumption of this city and the surround ing towns is largely on the increase, there is no immediate prospect of its. becoming a great center of distribution. "In that respect," said he, "we cannot hold a candle to the Lake Erie district, in cluding such ports as Cleveland, Ashtabula and Erie, through which the furnaceiuen of Ohio and Pennsylvania draw their supply, but Chicago and the surrounding towns will this year consume 1,250,000 tons of iron ore." THESE WAS EIBE IN THE BUNKEBS. A Steamer Crowded With Passengers Nar rowly Escapes Destruction. New -York. Aug. O.The steamship Cachemiere arrived jn this port last Friday evening with 160 Italian steerage passen gers o board, It was learned to-day for the first time that for 10 of the IS days of the Cachemicre's voyage the vessel and all on board of her were in imminent and continu ous danger of the gravest character. When the steamer was but one day out from Mar seilles it was reported to the captain that the soft coal in the bunkers was on fire. He at once gave orders that the strictest secrecy should be observed, as, if the news spread among the passengers it would be impossi ble to aveit a panic Immediate steps were taken to quench the fire, but it had already gained a serious headway, The pumps were put to work aud heavy streams of water were poured upon the piles of coal and upon the deck above it. This was kept up lor day and bight for teh davsand pot till the end of that time was fire entirely extinguished. The Captain and crew were completely worn out. During the whole time none of the passengers had any suspicion of the danger in which the stood, nor did the learn of it until port had been reached. DOUGLAS WILL BETIBE.

The aborigines of America practiced sepulture, and it has been estimated that, in the Mon ongahela Valley, for instance, the burials of Indians exceeded the number reached by the whites since, and yet no question has ever been raised about the longqvity .f 1 Indian race. The pure water supplies of our American cities are cited as illustra tions of how little there is in the claim of pollution from cemetery drainage. In addition to this, Dr. VnnVoorhis, for tho opponents to cremation, claimed that no ad nntages had been satisfactorily s.hqwn by the experiments at the LeMoyre furnace. On the other baud, it was prov en there that twenty-nine thirtieths of the human hody is composed of material that will evaporate during the process of incineration and pass into the air. It was charged that this was absolutely dangerous to the health of the community about the crematory, espeoially in the cases of contagious diseases. IN ITS OWN DEFENSE. The pbov e claim was made in 1881. In 1B8j Prof. T. It. llaker, Ph, D., of the Mil lersvilJe State Normal School, Pennsyl vania, collected 30 jars of gasses arising from the chimney of the Lancaster crema tory while a human body was being inciner ated, and after a carelul analysis "pf the gasses he announces no deleterious effects need necessarily be felt by tle eurroundlug localities. This claim was also disproved jn the case of Undertaker H. H. Samson's crematory, on Sixth avenue, in Pittsburg, At the first incineration there, a committee of the Board of Health was present and went up on the roof to test the quality pf smoke and gases. They pronounced it quite harmless, and since then there has been no more i)l-health on Sixth avenue than usual. IV. Pennsylvania Cremation Made Plain. For general information it may he well to explain the diflerence of cremation of to dav and cremation of ancient times. There was the hideous funeral pyre and the hor rors of the stake among the heathens. Bod ies were burned by the direct action of the flames, and even to-day countries of A lower grade of piv ilization than our own pursue a method not much better. In Ja pan the body is plaoed in a tub upon a grate, underneath which the lire is built, the flames passing aroupd the body and thence up a chimney, The Japan crematory stands a little apart from tho main road, a building of a single story, with an innocent-logking tall chimney that might be connected with a pottery or a small iron foundry. The business is always conducted privately, and there are few in Tokio, except those who are professionally engaged, wno have wit nessed the process. The furnaoe, if so im posing a name may be used for a proeess so simple, stood a few paces from the house. On entering it there was noth ing to be seen but what appeared to be two butter tubs resting upon a few faggots of wood. There w ere several cavities about two inches deep nnd one foot long in the stone floor, and these were filled with shav ings. According to municipal Jaw, no burning is to be done before 0,30 in tba evening, It still wanted ten minute? to that time; but in tho circumstances the managPr-thought he would be safe to antici pate the hour, and the shav ipgs w ero flred. One of the men, kneeling before the grow ing flnino, fanned it with a pieoe of wood. It caught the dry faggots, greedily licked the sides of the tubs, rose high in the air, and then, with a horrible thup, the head of the barrel burst outward. Quick as thought the man seized a large piece of wpod lying by in readiness and hid from fight whatever may have protruded, AMONG INDIANS AND ITALIANS. The Hnalapais, H3 well as the Mohave, Indians in Southwestern Colorado and Utah cremate the dead. The body is laid in the ground about 18 inches below the surface; piles of brush and logs, are thrown above and below, to make a hot fire. Dur injt the burning, the relatives and frjends throw their blankets and othgr valuables into the flames. The value Is regulated by the degree ot kinship. The ashes are thrown to the four winds. One will say to another: "I am not going to throw my blanket to your brother, for you did not throw anything for my father" social eti quette, we should call that if it were a ques tion of wearing black, I suppose! They burn also immense number of ponies, and have a great "wake." The less important people are sometimes buried with no sacri fice of propcty, but that is not proper respect. At Milan, Italy, a furnace is jn use where the body is placed upon an altar and the flames, generated in a fire chamber, pas,s, over and around the body. But at Dr. LeMoyne's old crematory in Washington, Pa., and in a majority ot the crematories in other parts of the United States, the body is closed in a foaled retort, which has been heated to a high degree of temperature irora without. The solid walls of the retort prevent entirely any contact of the flames with the corpse. The oxygen of the air, heated to a temperature of 2,000 degrees, unites with the carbonaceous ele ments of the body, and it qujckly melts away as snow would melt before the ra,vs of the sun. The ashes aro lelt as the residue. The present Mr. LeMoyne, ot Washing ton, informs me that the ashes of a man av crage from hve to nine pounds in w eight when they are gathered out of the retort, and the ashes ot a woman from four to pix pounds. The larger boned the person is the heavier theirashes w ill be. These ashes resulting from the incineration of the bones are nothing more nor less than carbonate of lime. THE STYLE IN FUNERAL tTIlNU. I asked Mr. LeMoyne if there was any uniformity in the style of urns being used by the people of the United States in the storing of human ashes. He replied that there was not, because the demand for urns has grown to such proportions that it has become an industry in itself to manufacture funeral urns. He has received samples of urns of earthenware, porcelain, glass, metal and other materials. There has been seme attempt made to imitate the style and deco ration of ancient urns found in Greece and Egypt, but they will hardly prove popular in the United States. What the venerable Dr. LeMoyne lamented sq much when he was alive, and what led him largely into the field of thought which resulted in his exper iments at Washington, was the ostentation displayed in burying our dead. People who now willingly adopt cremation among their beliefs are generally those who also abhor display. Ear that reason the storied urn of the Orient will probably ronuun there. iiut even tms demand tor tuneral urns, which has induced manufacturers to meet it. is of the same significance aa the solum- NATURAL FRUIT FIAVORS.
