A midshipman from the Victoria arrived at Calais early this morning with Bear Admiral Markham's dispute 'ies concerning the collision off Tripoli. , Be was brought by special steamer, the Maid of Kent, to Dover and was conveyed at once by special train to London. The first dispatch was dated from the warship Camperdown cn J une a, it says: "It la with the moat profound regret that X have to report the total loss of her majesty's ship Victoria, Involving the Irreparable loss of the commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Sir George Try on, twenty-two officers and 836 men under the following oircumstanoee: "The squadron, consisting of her majesty's Ships Victoria, Camperdown, Nile, Dread Naught, Inflexible, Colling wood, Phaeton, Ed Inburg, Sana Pareil, Edgar, Amphlon, Fearles and Barham, left Beyroot about 10 o'clock this forenoon for Tripoli Shortly after the squad ron formed single columns line abreast and roceeded at the rate of about eight knots aa sur. "When about five miles from the anchorage off Tripoli, the signal was made at 2:30 in the afternoon to form columns of divisions In the line ahead,dhiposed abeam to port the columns to be six cable lengths apart. We proceeded In this formation untU3:aiwbenine signal waa i made from the Victoria to the first dl Vinton to turn sixteen points to starboard. As the col umns wer only six cable lengths apart, It was . sot, therefore, la my opinion, possible, within the maneuvering distance, to execute auch an evolution 1 directed the flag lieutenant to keep the signal, which we were repeating at dip, as as indication that the signal from the Vic toria waa not understood. I then directed him to signal with the aemaphore: 'Do I un derstand it Is your wish for the columns to turn as indicated by the signal now flyingf" But before my order could be carried out the commander-in-chief semaphored me to know what I was waiting tor. It then struck me that he wished me to turn sixteen points, as Indi cated "by the signal, and it was his Intention to circle round the second division, leaving them on the port. Having the fullest confidence in the great ability of the commander to maneu ver the squadron without even risk of collision, I ordered the signal hoisted us an Indication tbl I understood. Wtr.-n the signal was hauled down the helm of the Camperdown was put hard aport At the same time the heim of the Victoria was starboarded "I watched very carefully the helm of the Victoria as indicattiw the purpose of her signals, as the two ships turned towards each other, and seeing that the helm of the Victoria was still starboard, I directed the Camperdown to go full speed astern with the starboard screw In order to decrease our circle of turn ing. Seeing that a collision was inevitable, I then ordered him to go full speed astern with both engines, but before our speed could be materially checked the stem of the Camperdown struck the Victoria on the starboard bow about twenty feet before the turret and crushed into the ship almost to the center I .e. the fore and aft lines of the ship, at the tune of the collision, being in - clined toward each other at an angle of about eighty degrees. It was, I think, quite two minutes before the Camperdown was able, although going full speed astern with both entrines to get clear -of the Vic toria.

Henderson of ' Missouri, who bas devoted long and careful study to matters of finance, haa addressed to Secretary Carlisle a communication in which he gives in writing the tubstance of statesments made In conversation touching the monetary condition of the country, tie expresses the belief that the pres ent stringency is produced, not by any lack or i ufiiciency of currency, but by the loss of confidence produced among business men because of the inferior character of a large part of that currency. Mr. Henderson then gave a history of our financial legislation, from which he argues that neither Individ ual prosperity nor commercial activity is controlled by the amount of circu lating medium, and that the present financial distress is due entirely to the diver acts of 1878 And of . 189a .

Beginning of tha Extra Session. Washihgtok, July 4. The fact that the senators from the North western states are not unani mous on the silver question and that some of them will probably vote to repeal the Sherman silver pur chasing law, seems to lend added . interest to the contests which were pending whtn the sen ate adjourned in extra session in April last on the case of senators from Mon tana, Wyoming and Washington. In all three of these states the legisla tures got into a prolonged deadlock and adjourned without electing a sen ator to fill the vacancies that were to occur on March 4. These three con tested cases will probably bring on a bitter and protracted preliminary fight before the senate can settle down to the business for which : the extra session was convened. ; Tom Heed on the Extra Session. Portland, Me., July 4. Ex-Speaker Reed was Been yesterday and asked what he thought of the extra session: It will be hot work," he repl ied. "What do you think of the silver question?"

LINCOLN. NEB., THURSDAY. t, -oe Fovrth In Lincoln. . Liscolw. July 5. The nation's birth day was celebrated here in a very quiet and unostentatious manner, with no fatal results. A series of attractions were booked at the various resorts and all were pretty well patronized. At the race track the Roadster club's matinee drew a erowd and several pretty races were ran. The most striking feature of the races was the fast half mile made br Aloha Hunter in the free-for-all trot and pace. She went the half lo third heat In l:08f- At Lincoln park tne large crowd amused themselves with plcnlclng chiefly. The star attraction at this resort was the L. A. W. meet. and the, several races by well known cyclists were exciting and thoroughly enjoyed by those attending. The mile race for the championship was won by H. F. Condon of Omaha In 2:54 1-5. At the lake a large erowd was In at tendance pretty much all day and the boat races, which formed the chief part of the program, served to keep the crowd Interested. The festivities ol the day were concluded In the evening br a grand ball. At Cushman park the students of the Western Normal college put In the day plcnlclng. A woman with a little child, who was a passenger on the east bound Barling- ton flyer, arriving here early yesterday morning, became violently Insane some miles west and tried to throw her baby from the window. It required two strong men to hold her. A doctor was summoned to attend her when the train reached Lincoln. Her name or destin ation could not be learned. , Doleful Firecracker. Lincoln, Neb., July 5. Last ' while Mr. and Mrs. Yf. M. Shook w,r out riding they met with a dlstrsssing accident. The buggy that contained the party also contained a limited sup ply of fireworks. Mr. Shook ignited one of these natal day missiles, which frightened the team and also succeeded admirably in Igniting the entire assort ment, that reposed In the bottom of the buggy. The team Immediately began a series of contortions appropriate to the occasion, which resulted in tipping the party out of the buggy. Mrs. Shook's collar bone was dislocated and Dr. Graham, who is in attendance, says that the old lady, Mrs. Bnooics mother, sus tained painful Injuries. The other members of the party were badly shaken op, but luckily no serious Injuries were Inflicted. - Shot HlmselC OMAHA.'July 5. Omaha had no formal celebration of the holiday, but there were great crowds at the races and re sorts about town. The usual number of minor accidents is reported. Up to 10 o'clock last night only one fatality oc curred, the victim being Joseph Rosen stock, who accidentally shot himself through the abdomen while DriDg a re volver, lie was at home and had re marked after listening to his neighbor's bombardment for a time, that he had a revolver that would make more noise than any nf them had heard in a long time, lie went into the bedroom for the pistol and a shot followed by groans attracted the family attention. Rosen- stock was dead in rive minutes after he had made his psculiar remark. Threw Bricks. Lincoln, Julys.- A somewhat sans, s scrap occurred last night in the beitoms between Dick Johnson and linry Brown, both of whom are common hod carriers. Brown claimed that Johnson was indebted to him in the sum of 8 cents which he wished be would pay. Dick denied having ever incurred ny such obligation, and a quarrel followed, which ended In Johnson drawing a knile and chasing Brown from the room. Later Brown returned and struck John son a terrific crack on, the left eye with a fragment of brick. Tne wounded man was taken hame where It was found a couple of ugly looking, but nut serious gashes had beej cut above and bsiow his eye. Coat la Itlchardsoit Connty. Falls Cut. Neb..

C05FERS WITH MR, CARLISLE. Ha Will Mew Oat ta Work and Arrange the Caminltte Mr. Blnno Mmf Be Deposed from tb Chairmanship of Ui ajutage. Committee Other New Regarding tha Miver Question. Washington, July 4 Ex-SpeaVer Crisp arrived this morning and went Immediately to the treasury where be was closeted with Secretary Carlisle for upwards of two hours. The secretary gave orders that ho was not to , be interrupted for any purpose whatsoever. Mr. Car lisle for himself and the president wanted to ascertain how soon the house could be organized and as Judge Crisp's re-election as speaker is a fore gone conclusion, it is comparatively sasv for all the details ol organization to be determined beforehand. Judire Crifosald that he would retnrn to some quiet place, perhaps bis own bomej and begm the arrangement ox house committees and the house could be organized and ready for business within a week after assembling. , Another point of importance upon which Secretary Carlisle and the pres ident desired information is the prob able course of congress after the re peal of the Sherman act, should that bs promptly accomplished. The pres ident and his finance' minister both realize that other legislation may be necessary and tbey do not want con gress to adjourn or take a recess until measures -deemed essential by the ad ministration shall have been acted upon. While tne aetaus oi tne conierence between Secretary Carlisle and Judge Crisp are kept secret, both say the interview was very satisfactory and the secretary is more sanguine than ever of the repeal of the Sherman law. He also believes as does Judge Crisp that neither hot weather nor other personal considerations will influence congress to abandon the work before it shall have been compl od. Secretary Carlisle decidid not to re sume the purchase of silver to-day and so notified the principal firms that offer silver to the treasury on puf chasing days. This action is un usual, but as the matter of purchasing silver on given days is discretionary with the secretary ho is simply ex ercising his right The issue of standard dollars from the mints and treasury offices during the week ended July 1, 1893, was $406,- 160; for the corresponding period ol 1892, 8492,320. The shipment of frac tional silver coins for June was 8767,- 163; for the month of June, 1892, $1,025,597. - BLAND MAY BE DEPOSED. lha Old Coinage Committee Chairman's yiews Caoslug Troabl. Washihgton, July 4 Owing to the fact that a betterment of the national finances will be the first and gravest problem to be confronted bythe doming session of congress, particular interest attaches to the house commit--tee on coinage. An adversccommittee woujd be in a position to very ser iously obstruct business and worry the advocates of the repeal of the Sherman law. Whether or not Mr. Uland will be reappointed chairman no one appear to know to a certainty.

It is probable also that the failed Washington Na tional bank of Spokane, Wash., will resume business in about ten days. A committee headed by Messrs, Thayer and Kobinson, representing the stockholders and officers of the failed First National bank of Arkansas City, Kan., had an andienoe with Comptroller , Eckels this morning, looking to the reopening of that insti tution.

NO. 4 INDIA AND SILVER COIN ACS. light Thrown Cpan the Govaral Baaaat Aetlaa. CnoAfto, July 4. The Eev. Thomas) Craven, for nearly twenty yean ia , charge of the Methodist Episcopal publishing house at Lucknow, Incas, perhaps the largest mission publisaV ing house In the world, ia in the dty ' visiting the world's fair. Asked about the silver question as viewed from the) Indian standpoint he said: "For some) years the question of silver has been of absorbing interest to the govei n- ment of India. As ft proof of the great interest the people there have in thin question it may be stated that Renter in his telegraphic communications from America has given and is giving special prominence to the action of your congress ftnd the opin ions of your prominent public men on the point Even snch important -matters aa the election of Cleveland . might not reasonably have been ex pected to hftve been ignored la the telegraphic dispatches to India, ana these dispatches did not even let us know ' whether Clevelnnd was sleeted or not But, on the other hand, every uttle motion or resolution and every interview with well known public men on the silver question was t enee telegraphed to ua This showed tne) keenness with which we were observ ing the action of this country oa the) silver question. Meeting hare beea held in all the chief stations of India to petition the government to take , some action whereby the depreciation 1 of the rupee might be remedied, to . one of the large and most influential delegations resulting from these -petitions which ever waited upon , the governor general, the reply was -made that the government reserved Its action until it should be seen what ' would be recommended by the mone tary conference at Brussels. The re ply also gave the promise that in the : event of nothing being done by tb conference independent action wc.'l be taken by the Indian government This occurred during the past wizir, consequently the present action oi tit Indian government which has createJ . such ' absorbing interest throughout 1 the country was not altogether ws expected." "itmay lairiy be taken xor granted," Dr Craven continued, "that the gov ernment of India, assisted by England, ? will do all it possibly can to give ltd . old value to the Indian rape. The depreciation of the rupe to the extent it has suffered during the last year, is frought with peril on every hand. Up to , twenty-two years ago, tne par value of the rupee waa forty-eight cents. The rupee is the standard of the peo- Ele's money in India as the dollar ia i America. There are ten rupees to one pound sterling. At the time I left India f 100 in American currency waa worth 340 rupees in Indian currency. According to the latest advices from India I notice 9100 would now be worth 205 rupees." "Does this stopping of silver rape coinage mean a cessation of the coin ing indefinitely?" "I would not be able to say that The action taken leaves the matte optional with the government The point is that the government insist upon the rupee having a vain of 1 4d, that is to say, three rupees shall equal a dollar in value in the round numbers at present, and greater value they will give to it if they can." Tea Bead's Bales Mar Be Needed. ' Washihgtoic, July 4. There bas been a great deal of talk about th rules of the house of representatives and the changing of the same in order that a majority can do business. At tention, however, Is now called to the fact that tho rules of the senate are very lax and that If the opponent of the administration idea wish they east talk any bill to death. For months the antt-optlon bill dragged along la the last senate owing to long-windea talk, so that when it finally passed It was too 1st for the house t do anything with It Something oo14 easily be done under the ealatlnf rules, aud senators leiier ana bmw art ere reported to have said that the Sherman law will never be repaales) as long a men's tongue can talk. !a view of tht situation it ia said thai Vice Praaident bWasoa will dososa arbitrary ruling from th chair. s that there is a prospeot of lively time ahead In the more dignified of the twe bodies of congress.
