The steamer rests on round Ijnulders and lies easily. There are from five to seven feet of water in the second, third and fourth compartments. The other two water tight compartments are not injured.

CiiiiAi.o, Jan. 10.-A meet nig of the southwestern division of .the western freight association has Ijeen held to consider what action was necessary in consequence of the big cut iu cattle rates inaugurated by the Chicago ,t Al ton road. The interested lines were anxious to restrict the application of the reduced rate to through business from points beyond the Missouri river, and so leave the locai rates undisturbed. Va rious projiositions were made to the Al ton people, which the latter declined to consider, and the meeting finally ad journed until today, when a conference will be hud with the trurig Missouri lines on the subject. Great efforts will be made to protect the local rales east of the Missouri river, and to prevent the cut rate from spreading to other Mis souri river points than Kansas City. lrUlil in ill Storm.

Illtrixlurrd HI Kill. Wahhi.nctok, Jan. H. - Senator Plumb introduced a bill to repeal so much of the act ot July 1, 1870, as au tharizes the leasing ot rights to engage in the business of taking fur seals from the islands of St. Paul ard St. George, Alaska. The bill provides that all authority hertofore conferred upon the secretary of the treasury to lease the rights of the seal lisheries lo any com pany shall be repealed. The bill also re quires the secretary to promulgate regu lations prohibiting the taking or killing of seals or other fur-bearing animals by any but natives and prescribing the num ber to be taken each year. The bill pro vides that all skins taken hereafter shall be traaported annually to Bin Francisco to be sold there in the open market to the h'ffheet bidder. All the money de rired from these soles ia to be oaid into he treamry and set apat for the educa tion of tbe native of Alaska. Dunnell haa Introduced a similar bill in the ju.itfi 'Mr'uinnt'lPs IVcHinii, Ihrpm. Kaai(tM Na Trial. CiucAcjo, Jan. 11 Judge MoConnell this afternooo in the Cronin case granted the application of Kunzefor a nejr trial, but denied the motion as to the other defendants, Coughlin. Burke and O'Sui livan. Judge McConnell in his decision said iu part: I think it would be a mere pretense for me to take more time to deliberate on this matter. 1 would not arrive at a different conclusion in sev eral days than 1 have now. It has weighed heavily upon my mind during the trial that the defendants should have a fair trial. Since its conclusion it has weighed iip tn my mind whether toey had a fair trial and whether the jury had re;iched such a conclusion that within the limits a judge has the right to question whether the verdict was a jusl one. It was a just one. Judge Wing suggested Ih-it the defendants were prejudiced by not having been granted separate trials, yet the trial disproves this, becautse the theory generally accepted by the public and urged by tha state that the con spiracy was formed in camp 'JO was not accepted by the jurv, as shown hv the acquittal of fieggs. As to trie jury, of course it is mure satisfactory to the trial judge to have a jury of men without opinion as to the merit of a case anil this course was fol lowd in securing the first four juiors, buw as dropped when it became evi dent that it would !e impossible to ob tain such a jury in the country. The impression of a trial from his whole ex amination would be taken br a higher court as the judgement of a jury from the manner in which the question was approached. I am convinced that if any one watched the manner of the trial judge during this trial they would liave been irtain tho court was determined to have a fair jury. As to lhe evidence, the j'idge is not called upon to say whether, if on t! e jury, he would have come to the same conclusion. As to one of these defend ants I am convinced tho evidence is in sullicieiit. First, evidence against John Kui-ze is that of James, w ho saw him in a window across the street and never saw him again until in court. I do not think his identification is reliable. I also discredit the identification of Wil liam Merle, who claimed to hove Been Kun.e one evening. Xiemnn, the saloon keener, did not identify Kun.e positively. This murder sprang out of Irish poli tics some way. It is not necessary to even conjecture hew, but there is no motive of Kunze to have part in the crime and even f Mertes and James were to be believed, anil pieman i had been more positive, there is no difficulty in reconciling these facts with his inno cence. I mean to say that he might huve been in the Clark strict flat and all the other places and still have been innocent. I lielieve tho verdict of the jury in his ease was not only unwar ranted by the evidence, but was an ab surdity. As to the other difendantsl over-rule the motion for a new trial.

A breach of promise of marriage in which the dam ages are placed at 8100,000 was begun before Judge Ingraham in the supreme court here. The plaintiff is Miss Caro line J. Cammerer, the twenty-three-year- old daughter of Robert Cammerer of Philadelphia. Thedefendant isClcments Miller, a wealthy real estate dealer. He is a man of family and is alout sixty years of age and a prominent member of society. The plaintiff testified that during a nimble in Central park he proposed to her. She gave him no decision then, but on the 17th of IJecember, 1S85, at Philadelphia, he again "proposed and she accepted him. Soon afterward she learned that he had a wife in an insane asylum. Jn answer to a aemanu lor an explanation he said he would get ft di vorce and later assured her father that the divorce had been obtained in In diana in July MHO. At Khtnebeck he introduced her as hia betrothed and soon afterward they came to Xew York to make purchases for the wedding. He so urged her to hasten the ceremony that she became ill and when she re covered 'ie proposed a mock marriage, which she indignantly rejected. He haa never returned to see her since Chen, though h! wrote to her several times. These are the allegations of the plain tiff. The defendant denies them all. Colonel Ingersoll, counsel for the defend ant, asked for the dismissal ot the case on the ground that she was relieved from the engagement. The motion was denied and the case continued to to morrow.

W.-For some time past there has been trouble between tne union glasub owers and the apprentices employed at the l'oughkeep sie glass works. When the woiks started up in October after the summer vacation the union men refused to return to work because of a reduction in wages, and the company has ever since had apprentices and non-union men at work. Last even ing a party of union men got into a street fight with some non-union men, during which Eugene Morgitbroyd, a non-union man, was badly cut and bruised about the head, aud one or two of the others hurt. Warrants for t e arrest of several of the fighters liar l)een issued. Mrs. I). H. Price of Lllwood was se verely bitten by a savage dog a few days since.
