The visit of Secretary Belknap to
that portion of the country bordering
on Mexico, has given rise to the sur
mise, that it has its origin iu a de
sign to promote the annexation of five
of the Mexican States to this country,
and the newspaper men are rejoicing
over the sensational articles they are

Secretary of War Df.i.kn ap and
General Phil Sheridan arc on their
way to the West on a thorough tour
of inspection of all the military posts
as far south as the Uio Grande. It is
understood that the great object of
the Secretary's visit is to ascertain
the cause of the troubles between the
Indians and the Government. The
Secretary of War will ascertain if
possible what new measures, if any,
are necessary to preserve friendly re
lations with the savages. The sub

be made the basis of some recommen

receives his paper on or before the
first of July, can with Jire reatx pre

The bill appropriating a million of
dollars for the centennial celebration,
provides that three fourths of that
sum shall be raised from a tax on the
street railroads of Philadelphia, and
as an inducement for the roads to
submit to this illegal imposition, it is
stipulated that they bhall tie released
from the jn-nalties of any action that
might lc brought against them for
the infraction or abuse of their char
ters. This bill containing this high
ly moral sjtecios of legislation was
introduced by that reformer par ex
cellence, Col. A. K. McCli re. The
law simply amounts to this. Where
as, these corporations have been vio
lating the law, now it is agreed that
in consideration ot a certain sum of
money ln ing paid, they shall not be
punished. What do the moral jKr
tion of the community think of such
a law Wing placed on the statute
books of the State A square agree
ment, that a violation of law will be
condoned for money. Isn't this hon
esty and reform with a vengeance ?
According to a clause in the 7th
section of the supplement to the ' Lo
cal option law'' which passed the
Legislature and lccamc a law, last
month, strict liquor prohibition will
soon exist in this county. The clause
is in the following words,to wit: "and
" it is further declared to be the true
"intent and meaning of section three
"of the act to which this is a supple
"mcDt, that so much of said section
"as prohibits the granting of licence
"by any Court or Hoard of License
"Commissioners in any district where
" there is a majority against licenses
" shall apply to all officers authorized
' by existing law to issue license lor
"the sal.' of spirittiou, vinous, malt
"or other intoxicating liquor, or any
- aumixTiirc thereof"." A strict inter
pretation of this clause will prevent
distiller or brewers from selling
Uieir product in this county, and
hence a total prohibition or tic sale
of liquors spirituous or malt will oou
be inaugurated, and the anomaly will
be presented by men being allowed
to manufacture what they dare not
sell. If this clause of the supple
ment was iuserted iu the bill and
alcd through the Legislature as is
asserted, it will only tend to disgust
Ibe. voter who were tlius entrapped,
and will Lav a tendency to La&tcn
the repeal of tie b. Certain it is
that a large portion JtU pooplc who
do the
denizens of Illinois and other western
States. To show that there are good
grounds for this general complaint
against railroad discriminations we
append the following articles clipped
from a couple of our exchanges:
Headers who have not heretofore
paid much if any attention to the sub
ject, will be interested in a statement
of some details illustrative of the
grievance referred to which the West
ern farmers find so exasperating.
From Carl to Chicago, a distance
of f-eventv-four miles, a car load of
hojrs cost $2H 50 freight, while from
Meriden to the same city, a distance
nf oiirlitv mil t lie cost i onlv fill
and from Mendota, a distance of
eighty-four miles, it is $28 Former
ly the freight rate on the same load
from Carl to Chicago was only $17.
At the same time, when a bushel of
corn at the crib was worth to the
farmer from fifty to seventy-five cents,
the freight on a hundred weight to
Chicago was only nine cents; but now
when a bushel of corn at the crib is
worth hardly twenty -three cents, the
freight on a hundred weight is four
teen cents.
At the beginning of February a
farmer named Lewis, of Somonauk,
in Illinois, dispatched 77." bushels of
wheat to Hoston, where it was sold
for 7a cents a bushel, yielding a gross
return of J.'iO.t 70. Hut the final re
sult of the transaction was far from
satisfactory. At S3 cents per hundred
weight $302 4G were paid out in
freight; $S 72 were paid for storage
and inspection, and $14 15 were paid
as commission, these sums amounting
in a total of $38." 33, which being de
ducted from the price of the wheat
left $1 NO 40 in Mr. Lewis's pocket;
23l cents a bushel for his wheat !
In order to find his profit, of course
the cost of production must be deduct
ed. Put with that item we are not
concerned. For the 705 bushels of
wheat sent to I'oston the farmer re
ceives in return the price there paid
for 120 bushels, while the price of the
remaining 003 bushels he pays out as
costs, the price of 430 bushels falling
to the railroad company alone in the
form of freight. Pet ween the barn
in Illinois and Poston, of every nix
bushels or wheat dispatched, Jtre arc
absorled in the cost of transportation
and other expenses.
Put the peculiarly and especially
exasperating fact still remains to be
mentioned. And even the least sym
pathetic nature will be able to under
stand the indignation of the farmer at
Somonauk, Mr. Lewis, for instance,
on learning that from Ottumwa, sit
uated on the same railroad (the Pur
lington and (juincy), but two hundred
miles further frovi Huston, the freight
rate to Poston is ten cents per hun
dred weight less than it is from So
monauk! Incredible as it may seem
this is the case, and therefore the far
mer who lives two hundred miles
further from Poston would receive
for the quantity of wheat referred to
above $43 00 more than Mr. Lewis
received. That is, he would have to
pay so much the less to the railroad
for its transportation.
Further, we are told that the differ
ences of freight rates from the Fast
to Chicago and from Chicago to the
smaller stations in the interior are
enormous. Thus, the freight on four
boxes of glass from Pittsburgh to
t Incago (340 miles) is 4.) cents;
while from Chicago to Carl (47 miles)
it is 71 cents, and in many instances
the freight from Poston to Chicago
(1,100 miles) is cheaper than from
Chicago to Carl.
It is much cheaper at some places
to first ship grain a hundred miles
farther West to a point of competi
tion than to ship directly to the FasL
Through freights are cheapened by
means of enormous local rates. Ship
ments have ten made from Poston
to Chicago, 1,100 miles, cheaper than
from Chicago to Farlville, which is
only seventy-five miles. It costs one
dollar to bring one hundred pounds
urM-ciass irora cw l ork to i oica-
go, one dollar and fourteen cents to
carry the same goods from Chicago
to Sterling, only one hundred and ten
miles. The rates to Dixon, eiirht
miles nearer, arc r till higher. Farm
ers iu Minnesota tan ship wheat to
Chicago for less than within the lim
its of Illinois, and the Miaow farmer
sees the stock raised in Iowa passing
by his farir. on its- way to Chicago
at cheaper rates than he ean scud his
own. Everywhere through the West
the charges appear to be arbitrary
rather than fixed according to an eq
uitable mile ratio of distance.

23 feet 4 inches depth of hold proper,
and 31 feet to top of spar deck, and
measured 2,306 tons, Pritish measure
ment, and was built by the well
known firm of Harland & Wolf, Pel
fast, Ireland. She had four masts,
six water tight bulkheads, and was

improved description. This gear olv

wheel in stormy weather ; one man

by regulating the movement accord

he could direct the vessel to the right
or left or maintain a steady course.
An index moved across this dial,
which would at onco indicate if the
helm was in the right' direction, or if
the gear was out of order, Her ma
chinery was built by George Forres
ter & Co., of Liverpool, and consist
ed of four compound engines, with
forty-one and scventy-cighi inch cyl
inders, with sixtyjjinches stroke of pis
ton a nominal horse power of 000
each, or 2,400 horse power for all the
engines. She had ten main boilers,
sufficient to give her a steady pres
sure of sixty pounds to the square
inch, burning oa an average, fifty
tons of coal a day, and working her
screw up to fifty-eight revolutions per
minute. On her trial trip she made
eleven and a half knots per hour.
She had three iron decks, running
fore and aft, to aid in strengthening
this long, narrow hull. Her masts,
four in number, were of iron and all in
one piece, and the yards were also of
iron.
THE NATURE OF THE VESSEL.
Concerning the vessel and the na
ture of the disaster, the "New York
Tiuifn contains the following perti
nent remarks :
"This tyje of vessel has never
been considered by American engi
neers as one likely to stand the slight
est rough usage after grounding, and
that she should go to pieces quickly
after gounding is no wonder. The
enormous length and disproportion
ate beam renders them an easy prey
to the action of waves, after they
once touch bottom. In this case the
water tight bulkheads seem to have
proved of no use, as the loss of life
shows that there was not enough of
the ship left to shelter but few per
sons," "One of the principal eauses for
the loss of the tihip may be set down
to the lack of coal to reach this port.
It is a well known fact that the price
of coal iu England is very high, and
that the transatlantic lines buy large
ly on this side, and endeavor to take
over something of a supply to bring
them back to this side. It is also true
that much of the coal furnished at the
present time on the other side is of a
very poor quality, and will not make
steam as freely as the Welsh coals
generally furnished to tho first-class
st( am lines. Another cause for the
disaster is that the vessel was con
siderably out of her true course, eith
er for Halifax or New York, and the
captain had evidently Ik-cii running
well north to shorten up his longi
tude. Tins practice has long been
discountenanced by the principle
lines, and in some instances the caji
tains positively forbidden to take the
high latitude route which the Atlan
tic had evidently taken.''
"It does not seem possible that
any vessel could have stood the shock
of striking the ground or coast in the
neighborhood of where the Atlantic
struck, for it is a laasi of flinty rock
for scores of miles in each direction.
From the terrible loss or life (seven
tenths or all on board), it is evident
that the -ship must have gone on to
the rocks at a high rate of peed, and
boats and raft were of no avail in
the heavy surf and sea which beat in
from the broad Atlantic ocean." v

LOSS OK TIJE ATLANTIC
The terrible disaster and loss of
seven hundred lives by the wreck of
the Steamer Atlantic, one of the
White Star line or European steam
ers, is the general topic or discourse
omong all classes here. The impres
sion increases, as the particulars are
announced, that there can be no
reasonable excuse mr such a slaugh
ter of innocents in clear weather and
in the approach to a harbor which
should have been as well known to
the Pilot as the berth in which he
slept, a reef of rocks in full view or
the watch on a clear night are sud
denly steamed upon while running at
the rate or ten to twelve miles per
hour, the Captain having retired
to bed thinking he was iu a latitude
many miles away from the real one.
Every female and child is lost, while on
ly stalwart men who were capable of
sustaining intense cold and the dash
ing of the wild waves upon them for
hours together, stood any chance of
saving their lives. The boats or this
great ship r nearly Tour thousand
tons were useless in the surging
breakers. "Can such things be and
overcome us like summer shower
without our special wonder''' Why
cannot the materials Tor an improvis
ed raft of large proportions be always
at hand on a vessel of such colossal
proportions. The life boat system
seems to lad in sucii sudden emerg
encies, and something on the princi
ple of a raft seems to be necessary as
a dernier resort in such sudden peril.
So many lives lost at one time is
enough to awaken spceul interest in
supplying so great a necessity, sqd it
is to be hoped that the necessary in
ventive genius will not fail us in the
future.

Just off Cape Prospect, or the
Head, lies a huge rock, commonly
seveuteeii feet under water. Its po
sition is due south of the Head, and
nearly one-third of a mile from the
shore. It is believed that it was this
rock that caused the wreck of tho At
lantic. Tho gale probably caused the
steamer to beat ij) shore, and finally
drove her heavily on to the enpe at
the head.
The navigation manuals direct
masters to keep outside of this reef,
and caution them not to go between
it and the shore. These directions
probably proved futile in the gale,
and thc'Atlautic went inside.
THE THIRD OFFICER'S STOHY.
The third officer, Mr. Prady,
the following story to
Chronirlt::
Rough weather was experienced,
but nothing worthy of uote occurred
until noon on Monday, the 31st, when
the coal being short, Captain Wil
liams resolved to put into Halifax for
a supply. The captain and Mr. Prady
had the" night watch up to midnight,
when they were relieved by the chief
and rourth officers. At lat lime
they judged that Sambro light then
bore X. X. W. thirty nine miles. The
sea was rough and tho night dark.
The chief and fourth officers having
taken charge, Mr. Prady went below
and turned into his berth. The ca
tain at the same time went to his
room to lie down.
What occurred between midnight
and two o'clock, tho time of the dis
aster, Mr. Prady cannot tell, as he
was sleeping, lie was awakened
and thrown out or his bunk by the
shock when the steamer struck. She
struck heavily three or feur times.
Mr. Prady ran up to the deck and
round it full of passengers. He found
an axe and with it commenced to
clear away the starboard life boat.
He observed that the captain and the
other officers were engaged in clear
mi the other boats. .Mr. Jrady sue-
ceeded in getting his life boat out.
This was the only boat launched, and
it had no sooner touched the water
than a crowd made a rush to get into
it. Prady had to use ferce to pie
vent them crowding in. He put two
women and about a dozen men into
it and also got in himself. Just then
the steamer fell over and sunk. The
boat, with its living freight, was car
ried down with the steamer, and all
in it were drowned except Prady.
The hull or the steamer became al
most totally submerged, and only the
bow and the masts remained above
water. The greater part of the pas
sengers were in their rooms at the
time and were immediately drowned.
Indeed, so soon after striking did the
steamer sink that many of thepasen-
jers were no doubt sleeping peacefully.
These unfortunate people were in
blissful ignorance of what was going
on around them, and passcii into
eternity without a struggle.
Of those on deck, numbering sever
al hundred, many were washed over
board when the ship fed over, and
their cries for help, as they struggled
in vain for life, were most heartrend
ing. Many, however, had taken ref
uge in the rigging and on the bow,
and were still living, but with the
prospect of almost certain death be
fore them, for they knew not where
the' were, and were in momentary
expectation or the shipsinkii.g further
and engulfing them all.
Even as they were clinging in des
peration to the rigging, with the sea

tion was most trying, and every few
minutes some of them, benumbed by

STATEMENT OF A STF.ERACIE PASSENGER.
Halifax, April 2. A steerage
passenger makes the following state
ment : I turned into my berth about
eleven o'clock Monday night. The
night was dark, but starlight, and
weather fine. I knew the ship was
going into Halifax for coal. The last
that I remember was that two bells
(two o'clock) struck, and I then went
to sleep. I woke up with a shock,
and remarked to my mate, "There,
goes the anchor." I thought, of
course, we were safe in Halifax har
bor, but as soon as she made the
second plunge I said, "Good God,
she's ashore !'' With that we got up
and dressed. The companion way
was throngt-d with lower steerage
passengers. Seeing that the sea was
commencing to break over the ship
and lower down the companion way,
I got as many as possible to take to
the bunks and hold on by the iron
stauchions. There we remained until
after daylight. The ship had fallen
over and the steerage was tun oi
water, one side only being out or it.
Our only chance ot escape was the
ports. A h.iiulter or men, probably
twenty, got out through the ports to
the side of the vessel. I remained
until all who were alive were out.
There were n great many drowned iu
their bunks, and others were drowned
while trying to reach the ports. I
got out through a port and held fast
to the side of the ship for about two
hours and then went to shore by the
life line. When I left the ship there
were still a great many in the rigging.
THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT.
The following is the captain's state
ment: We sailed from Liverpool on
March 20, and during the first part of
the pasaa had favorable weather
and easterly winds, On the 24th
25th and 20th we experienced heavy
southwest and westerly gales, which
brought the ship down to 1 8 miles a
day. On the 31st or March the engin-
er's report showed about 127 tons or
coal on board. We were then 400
miles east or Sandy Hoolf, with w ind
southwest, and high westerly pwell
and Tailing barometer, the ship steam
ing on eight knots per hour. I con
sidered the risk too great to push on,
a we might find ourselves in the
event or a gale shut out from any
port of supply, and so decided to bear
up for Halifax.
At one p. m. on the 31st Sambro
island was distant 170 miles, the ship's
speed varying from eight to twelve
knots per hour, wind south with rain,
which veered to westward at eight
p. m., with clear weather. At mid
night I judged the ship to have made
122 miles, which should place her 43
miles Routh of Sambro, and I lefr the
deck and went into the chart room,
leaving orders about the look-out, and
to let mo know iTthey saw anything
and call me at three a. in. intending
then to put the ship's head to south
ward and await daylight.
My first intimation or the catastro
phe was the striking of the ship on
Mars Island and remaining there
rast. The sea immediately swept
awav all the port Iniats. The ofii-
j cers went to their stations and com
menced cleaning away the weather
boats. Rockets were fired by the
socond officer. Before the boats
across this, hy which means
fifty got to land though manv
drowned i.i the attempt.
At 5 a. in. the first boat appeared
from the island but was too small to
Imj or assistance. Through tho exer
tion of Mr. Brady the islanders were
aroused, and by a. in. three large
boats came to our assistance. Pv
their efforts all that remained on the
side of the ship and on the rock were
landed in safety and cared for by a
poor fisherman named Clancy and his
daughter.
During tho day the survivors, to
the number or 42'., were drafted off
to various houses scattered about, the
resident magistrate, Edmund Ryan,
rendering valuable assistance. The
chief officer having got up the inizzen
rigging, the sea cut off his retreat,
He stood for six hours by women who
had been placed in the rigging. The
sea was too high to attempt hii res
cue. At 3 p. m. a clergyman, Rev.
Mr. Ancient, succeeded in getting
him a line ami getting him off.
Many or the passengers, saloon and
sU-erage,died in the rigging from cold.
Among the number was the purser
of the ship. Before the boats went
out 1 placed two ladies in the life
boat, but finding the boat useless,
carried them to the main rigging
where I left them and went aft to en
courage others to get forward on tl.-e
side of the ship. At this juncture
the boiler exploded and the boat roll
ed over to leeward. The ship then
was on her beam ends. Finding my
self useless there 1 went lota'k to the
ladies forward, but found then, gone;
nor did I see them afterward.
Many of the passengers by this.
time could not I e stimulated to any
effort to save themselves, but lay in
the rigging and died from fright and
exposure. I remained oi! the side en
couraging, helping and directing until
about fifteen were landed, when find
ing that in v hands and legs were be
coming useless I left the ship.
