DID XOT LXrECT CATHOLICS TO HISS Hie Total Abstinence ConTentlon Free from Cult and Cant Striking Feature of It Personnel. IISCLT OF SISD1T CL0SI5C OF S1L00XS father O'Caltashaa Sara the Beea Beaellted Cathollo Papers Criticised A Recaption. The politicians ot boll) th great political parties who havs all alone assuming that the mass of votes In this city would be cast In favor of open saloons on Sunday are slowly recovering from the effect of the reception which Senator T.

C. O' Sullivan's speech received from the Catholic Total' Abstinence Union delegates on Wednesday evening in Carnegie Hall. This was the second great check which those anxious to conciliate the saloon element of t1- community encountered. The blow i delivered through the columns of The New-York Times, when Interviews were printed with men ot all classes and callings upholding the course taken by President Roosevelt In enforcing the excise law. These interviews proved conclusively that law-breaking by saloon keepers snd their Sunday customers Is offensive to the moral sense of the community.

The complete breakdown ot" Senator O'SulUvan's plea for Sunday drinking is all the more bewildering to the politicians, because of the personality snd attributes of the man who made It. Senator O' Sullivan Is a devout Roman Catholic and a man highly respected by those who know, him for his Integrity and sincerity of character. He possesses the gift of oratory to. a mors effective degree than any present member of Tammany Hall, with one exception. Host of those In Carnegie Hall Wednesday night who live In this city have, or used to have, the same political affiliations as he There was, therefore, everything In favor of his hsvlng at least a respectful hearing, with the oratorical chance of turning a hostile meeting Into a neutral or a friendly one before his speech was ended.

Tet Mr. O'Sulllvan, the orator, was hissed and cried down until It needed the Interposition of Archbishop Corrigan restore quiet for a premature peroration by the speaker, while Mr. Roosevelt, without any graces of delivery, was able to hold same audience spell-bound as long as he pleased. No politician has hitherto seriously considered the possibility of rousing the conservatism of the Roman Cathollo Church and of forcing It to. place Itself on one or the other side of the political line, according to the temperance planks In the various party plat forma Tet the Catholic Total Abstinence Union already contains the flower of the priests and of their flocks, and the movement of the Catholic Church In this country towsrd adeflnite side on the temperance question Is every day gaining momentum.

Nothing was so striking about the dele-gstes who met yesterday In, Columbus Hall tne absence of either cult or cant In their spperance. The type of ascetic who crucifies his own flesh by a meagre diet of gruel and water was not anywhere to be seen. The dyspeptic who wishes to keep others from doing what lie cannot do himself was notably absent from the gathering. Even the reformed drunkard, who glories In his former shame In order that he may set himself up ss an example, had no chair placed for him on the platform at yesterday's meeting. Nor were the delegates made up of precocious boys and girls, who had found a mission In Hfe'by setting their conduct up as a reoroof to their elders.

There wss not a single woman present whose dress or rhose manner would convey the meaning of the epithet. strong minded." There has perhaps never been a gathering of delegates for anything In this city where so few spectacles and eyeglasses were to be seen. To descrfoe the delegates positively Is difficult, because of the absence of the usual tags which signify adhesion to some particular movement. Without their temperance badges, csrrylng a medal with a head of Father Matthew, they might all hsve gone down Broadway and no one could are picked them out as delegates to the onventlon Of the Cathollo Total Absti-aence Union. It was nftlceable that, while a large number or the 600 delegates -must' have been Irish, either by birth or descent, the Irish face as It Is caricatured was not to be seen.

The Irish ancestry of the girls was apparent through their Quick wit, their roguish smiles, their sharp ears, and their Point-blank repartee. Adding blue eyes and ark hair made the diagnosis certain. The men all looked like substantial, active American citizens, with more than the uual geniality of manner. Some of the younger ones had the quick, sharp motions 'engendered by business habits learned In a o-ehead store. The elder men were many them stout, without pufflnesa, and en-lwd Into the spirit of their work like of affairs.

Twelve of them taken at random would have made a model Jury the trial of an Important case. The perfect equality between the dele-was a tfflng memorable In Itself, "hits and black, men and women, priests ad laymen, carried themselves In their rotations with each other like people ideally wed. The priests were the leaders. not the bosses." There was more suggestion than peremptorlness In the ws given by the Chairman. While the gave action to the proceedings.

elders put on the brake, which comes waai the wisdom of experience, yet so a wr'11 interests harmonised to eoranion purpose that everything moved Jjhout friction. a other respect was the meeting Wttarkable.

Which I Lie Between Sjdney and BrisUae. LONDON. Aug.j a dispatch to Lloyds from Sydney. New South Wales, says that the British steamer Catterthun, bound from Sydney for Hongkong, ran on the Seal Rocks, which He between Sydney and Brisbane, and became a total wreck. The dispatch adds that some of the passengers and crew were saved, but that a number of persons are A Central News dispatch from Melbourne says that the vessel struck at 2 o'clock In the morning.

It was soon seen that there was no possible chance to save the vessel, and orders were given to abandon ship. All hands took to the small boats, and laid their courts for mainland. One ot the boats reached Forster this morning, but the others have not been heard from, and It Is feared that they have been lost. There was a large number of and Egllsh passengers on the steamer. Cable dispatches from Melbourne say that the Catterthun struck at 2:45 o'clock In the morning, and sank twenty minutes later.

The passengers who are supposed to be lost are Mrs. Mathlas. Mrs. Loring, Mrs. Smith, Miss Lorlng; and Robert Fraser.

At the time tbe vessel struck a heavy southwest gale was prevailing. When the vessel hit there was a severe shock. that could be felt In every portion of her. The passengers were greatly alarmed, and there was much confusion. The Captain reassured them, saying that there was no danger.

He thought thej steamer had only been struck by a heavy sea. The ship continued on her way, but before many moments had elapsed It was found that she was. leaking rapidly; (She began to settle down, and took on a list to itarboardj The fires under her boilers were soon extinguished, and the vessel was then helpless. She broached, to, and the seas swept over her fore and aft. Every effort made to lower the boats was by the' seas, which swept them inboard after they bad been swung out on davits.

I i The ort lifeboat was lost entirely. It being swept from; the da vita Notwithstanding the! dangerous position of the steamer, It was now seen was Coomed, excellent discipline was maintained. During an attempt to lower the starboard cutter a tremendous sea; broke aboard the steamer and carried away! the It also swept from the bridge the Captain and chief and second officers and Cape Fawkes. ti The last named having been in able to reach his cabin to obtain a life lei had borrowed the Captain's knife, end was In the act of cutting the lashings of a small table an the bridge when lie was swept off into the sea. A few minutes later, after a great effort, tbe starboard lifeboat was lowered and it picked up Capt.

Fawkes, who was clinging to some floating wreckage. Only three other Europeans were rescued. These were Seconii Mate Tanfear. Dr. Copemsn, and a passenger named Crane ef Melbourne.

Later dispatches say that the Seal Rocks are 110 miles north of Sydney. The Catterthun, in addition; to her general cargo, had on board ll.ouu sovereigns. nMrs. Mathlas, wife ot the Captain of the Steamer Cam. trading between London and Japanese ports, bad been at Sydney visiting friend.

When the Catterthun cast oil her lines at the wharf yesterday Mrs. Mathias's niece was on the wharf crying bitterly. She said to her aunt: "Oh. Auntle.l you'll be drowned! I will never see you again." 1- MThe officers of the Catterthun were English -and the crew were Chinese. v-JCatapatch from Melbourne, received this evening, -says-that -divers have left -there for the scene of the wreck for tho purpose of attempting to; recover the 11,000 sovereigns in specie on board the steamer.

The dispatch further says it is now known that the total number of lives lost In the disaster is nftyVfour, many of the Chinese passengers and crew being saved. Of the Europeans on board only the five previously mentioned survive, i i i The Catterthun; belonged to the Eastern and Australia Steamship Company of London. She was built at Sunderland in 18)S1 by W. iDoxford Sons. Her length was 302 feet 3 inches, beam S3 feet 5 inches, and depth of hold 23 feet 7 Inches.

She was schooner rigged and of 2.179 gross and 1,406 net tons burden. I Her engines were of the compound type of 2o0 horse power. I lTUXTIC SQUADBOS AT 5EWP0ET Raleigh to Join tbe Fteet Colombia 1 Not Yet 1st the Dry Dock. i NEWPORT, R. Aug.

Belief that President Cleveland Will Appoint New-York Masu WASHINGTON, Aug.

8. There Is already much speculation here concerning, the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, created by the" death of Justice Jackson. The Impression became quite general at the time of the reargument ot the Income tax cases that the Justice, who had come" from Tennessee especially to be present at the hearing, was much Improved In and would be kble to resume his duties In the It Is now known that from the time of his return to his home from Washington he steadily In the two years that he waa connected with the court he made many friends, and there is sincere sorrow" over the news of his death. The names mentioned in connection with the vacancy cover a wide range. Justice Jackson presided over the Sixth Judicial Circuit, comprising Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

His predecessor. Justice Lamar, was assigned to the Fifth District, 'embracing Alabama, Floridaj Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas After Justice Jackson took his seat njthe bench there was a rearrangement of districts." It is said that he was much pleased with his assignment. Inasmuch as It brought him Into close relations with court oincia.t with whom he had long been acquainted. It is taken for granted that the President will wish to nominate a New-Yorker to tht vacant position. New-York Is not now represented on the Supreme bench for reasons that are well known to' the country W.

B. Hornblowex and. Wheeler H. Peck-bam were rejected by the Senate at tht instance, 'of Senator Hill, and the question Is now being asked whether the condition In the Senate have changed sutficientlv to warrant the President in naming agali, either tf these men. 1 By his course -on the Tariff bill Senator Hill lost the support of several Democratic Senators who had supported him in i.hic.

flg-ht against i the confirmation of Messrs Hornblower and Peck ham, and doubt is expressed, of his ability to again deteat the President's will in case the latter shoulu decide to bestow the honor upon one 01 the other ef these men. Friends of Senator Hill add that the situation in New-York has changed so materially since the timt Mr. Hill set up his opposition to the President that the Senator would not find it politic to repeat that performance. i 1 The namesvof Frederic R. Coudert.

Jamei C. Carter; and others prominent at ttht New-York- bar are heard in the discussion about the vacancy. The fact that the district presided over by the late Justice son did not Include New-York has no particular bearing on the tiuestion of hia feuc cessor. It would be easy for trT Chiei Justice tor revise the list of circuits if New-York man should be selected. i The possibility of Secretary Carlisle belnr transferred from the Treasury to1 the Su preme bench is included In the gossip.

The same talkwas indulged in when Mr. Cleveland had to fill the vacancy caused by th death of Justice Blatchford. Mr. Carlisle! friends do; not regard the Idea with favor They entertain the hope that he will returr to the Senate. It is known to a few that Senator Gray or Delaware-was greatly disappointed wher Senator White of Louisiana secured th' place on the bench which had been denies' Hornblower and For some time it was believed that Mr.

Gaj would.be asked to take the nomination, aw" there is no doubt that he would have i ac cepted. His name now occurs to person: who know something of the unwritten history surrounding the long delay In nllin Justice Dlatchford's place. Mr. Gra Isstil-in i i Justice Jackson was unable to attend t-his duties-In the last' three months of hi' life, with 1 the result that many lmportan' cases Intrusted to him remain undisposed of. Other, cases were ordered to be heW over until October, when it was though' there would be a full court By reason of this accumulation of business in the court it Is assumed In some quarters thatl'hr President will not find It expedient to wail until Congress shall assemble before filling the vacancy.

In a fair clubtopsall sailing freeze and a rolling sea, the 'Defender defeated the Jubilee to-day 9 minutes 19 seconds. The race was sailed over a triangular course, the same as the course used in the race for the Drexel Cupsv.

In the Drexel Cup race on Tuesday the Defender over this same course defeated che Vigilant 9 minutes 9 seconds, and, considering the way the Vigilant has defeated Jie Jubilee, some think that in to-day's i-ace the Vigilant would have given the Defender a hard tussle. i A slight mishap happened to the Defender near the finish of the The lacing on the club of her topsail parted, and jthe sail jroke loose Just as she crossed the line it the finish.

On the beat to windward the Defender had taken minutes SI seconds, while the Jubilee's time was 16:45, showing a difference' In favor of the Defender of 7 minutes 54 seconds. It was a close teach on the starboard tack to the second mark.

T. i The cause of the disaster may te made clear to-day. ujso, the explanation will come from: Stevenson Constable, Superin tendent of the Department of Buildings, fee cause he" was so determined to probe the matter without bias, and through the aid of the best experts he can command, without. being embarrassed hyj Interference, well- ft meant, or Idle, or malicious, that he made the records 'of his department Inaccessible to all but those who are aiding hisa la aa soon as the Superintendent arrives at a conclusion In regard to the collapse he win make It as public? as may be possible, and he announced that no matter who may be cuipaoie, ne omm vu.w w. sponslblllty and punishmenL In the absence of the official uata ana re ports several persons who are ranked as experts and keen observers expressed opinions in regard to jthe cause of the accident-One was that a faulty pillar at 'the base ot the structure gvrf way.

Another Idea waa that the floors were overweighted In the aelahborbood of temporary holstway be cause neglect; in complying; with the newly enforced regulations as to street cumbrances which prohibit the accumula- tloa of building materials In the streets, va divide the weight of piaster In bags so -not to exceed the limit of the safety test, 27S pounds to the square foot.

It was eight stories high, with a base ares of 90 feet in West Broadway and 60 feet In West Third Street.

The materials of the facade were buff-faced brick and- Indiana stone, and the appearance of the- structure from all sides was grateful from tbe archlr -tectum! point of view. The fireproof quail -ties of the building did not appear to admit of cavtL i The floors were tiles set into Iron beams: the stairs were of iron, and th elevator shafts tile lined and beams; girders, pillars, and wails were regarded yesterday as amply strong-. Ia the Item of materials of construction, euchv aa brick, mortars and cement, there did nog appear to have been any culpability of nig-gardllnees. The building waa so near to completion that ieveral tenants were about to prepare for occupancy. Plasterers, electricians, and other mechanics were puttlnar the finishing touches to the struct 'ire.

and some of the windows had been put In. John B. Ireland, lawyer, of 170 Broadway, owned the building, and plans for it. estimating the cost at 153,000, were filed la the Building Department In November, 1S34 when Thomas J.
