Steamship office in this city at a late hour this tveniag that the steamer Scythia of the Cunard Line had gone aahore In the breakers off Scituate some six miles from Minota Light just before dusk to-night It is also reported that at the tittle fit the disaster a blinding snowstorm was prevailing accompanied by a terrific gale and that the sea was simply wild with fury The Scythia has over SOO souls on board Including paseengers and crew and a rumor which cannot be verified because telegraphic communication with that section ig interrupted by the storm is current that there has bten great loss of life The wrecking companies have endeavored to kind out toga to the relief of the atranded ship but the sea is so terrific that they could not live outside Theyare now waiting for the sea to subside A number of reporters have gone to the scene but particulars are not lfkely to be received before morning Up to this hour no additional facts have reached here although every effort has been made to secure some additional details The first and only information of the disaster was brought to this city by the last train up from Scituate BosTox April 8 830 a m--It will take the train three hours for the round trip not aliowing time for any stop there We have not received a word additional awl there is no probability of anything for several hours CRICA00 April Demoerste are becoming alarmed at the boasting of the labor people and realizing this the labor leaders are changing Wek tactics somewhat The Democratic candidates for Alderman have no central committee to back them at this Juncture There is no campaign fund in existence How to procure and pay for tickets and peddlers has become a serious question A way out of the dilemma is suggested by the labor people They offer to trade a few Alder Men and town officers to wake sure of the big mayoralty It said they are willing to make any sacrifice to secure control of the Mayor's office and will help impecunious aldernianic candidates to the Council in return for their influences in behalf of Nelson This scheme may work in twine wards where well known Democratic corruptionists are calididatee but the self-respecting members of Hardsou's disrupted party will scorn the dicker Mayor Harilson said this atoning: "With regard to their attack upon Inc for allying Roche is eupported the gslublere I have nothing but contempt I have told the truth in that respect I have eald it and I know it to be true I will not say more I know that the gamblers have put up a big sum of nioney to aid Roche in him canvaes They say I am pulling the temple down with me like Samson Let the Republicans look out that I don't pull a house about their ears I can if I choose smash up a big element of their support Between this and the expiration of my term of office I can close up every gambling Melee but one in Chicago tied sniaeb to pieces $50000 of the property of Mr Roche's ganibers I can do it before election day and the Republican party or its organs would better beware how much they provoke me in the meantime It will be a clove race next Tuesday and it would take very little to turn the balance one was or the other" Charley Kern President of the CoOk County Democratic Club has been primed for an onslaught on Mayor Harrison for several daye He has been looked to as the probable leader of a last effort to bold Democracy together He has lot go entirely "I ant Mr Roche and the Republican ticket as the only safe thing at this time My advice to Democrats is that it is very safe to do just the opposite of what Mr Harrison dictates I tell you that there will not be one-third of the Democrats found with the socialists when election day comes" The Democratic committee of fifty have passed into history and the eommittee of five into a state of "innocuous desuetude" andlt is now almost certain that there will be but two tickets in the field on Tuesday and the Labor 13 Dixon United Labor member of the State Legislature called on Mayor Harrison this afternoon and remained locked up with him for half an hour The object Of his visit was to induce Mayor Harrison to come out still more openly for the United Labor ticket and make an unolialfied formal announcement he would suppolt Nelson Mr Dixon said that if the Mayor would make Buell a declaration Nelson if elected would agree not to diemies the present heads of the Police and File Departments! ant the City Comptroller would fill those otLces with auy men Harrison might name The only condition made was that Inspector of Police Bonfield should be discharged on aceminter theorem hostility of the united labor people to him The Mayor would give no decided answer to the proposition All he would say was "Wouldn't it be a good thing for Chicago to follow that plan?"

Mr Sherman said: "In Florida I did uot In Northern Alabama and Eastern and Middle Tentiteme yes decidedly yee Florida has no etaple products Her Miter dependenoe Is in "sick Yankeee" they call the Northern tourists and her profits oome from the sale of oranges I do not think I can say much else for the State On the other hand the coal and iron induetriee of Alabama and Tennessee are bringing thme Suites rapidly to the front All the region thereabouts 18 developing immeneely The towns and cities remind we greatly of our Westeru country The people are alive and ambi-i Doug Immigration is rapidly pouring iti and capital le going therein vaet volumes" "And is this immigration and capital mainly from the North Senator?" "In a great part I 'should say The younger men of the South are very progretvive however and they too are flocking into this coal and iron belt" "Do you think the Republican party will secure the electoral vote of Roy Southern States in ISM?" "There are six Southern States that are naturally Republican They are North Carolina South Carolina Miseissipp Flor- i Ida Alabama and Tennessee But or the prejudice existing there we would have no difficulty in adding thew to the Republican Column "Is it true that the colored people are ping over to the Democratic) party in any ceninderable numbers?" "No sir" was the reply "There is no truth in that A Southern colored man is a Republican instinctively Educate him and he becomes all the more firm in his adherence to the princtples of the Republican party" "What do the Republicans propose to do about the alleged Intimidation of the colored voter by the white Democrats of the South?" "I can't say as to that We certainly ought to do something to protect these people I think we will do so in the next Presidential campaign Just wbat our mode of procedure will be I can't tell but we feel the time has come when we ought to claim our rights Tennessee North sftrolina and Florida are very closely divided politically even now Tennessee and North Carolina naturally belong to us We ought to have them both Speaking of the intimidation of the colored people to a white Southern Democrat recently I was surprised to hear hint my that it was a subject which was giving the more thoughtful of his people a great deal of concern They excuse their action on the ground that 'the end juatifies the means But they are coming to see that such methods are really daugerous and subversive of our republican institution They are all patriotic Americans and they cannot fail to see how it is going to end if much longer persisted" "Are the Southern negroes devotibg much attention to the matter of education?" "I never saw anything like it Their thirst for knowledge has been greatly increased by the obstacles previously thrown in their way There are several excellent colored universities South The Fisk University at Nashville is especially good The young men and woolen attending it are bright and very intelligent The young white people of the South must look well to their laurels or their black neighbors will soon lead them in the race for mental improvement" "Is protection doing must for the Republican party in the South?" "A great deal The tendency of the Democrats is in the direction of free trade Every mannfacturer is a natural protectionist Unless the Democratic politicians of the South enroll themselves under that banner they will soon find the brains and capital of that region unalterably opposed to them" Total 01 80 7 8 0 NA811V BW 0 A Cillittal If 0 8 3 0 1 rt 1 1 ta 0 0 Reeder cf 1 0 I 0 Firle lb I 1 It 0 0
