Washington, Dec. 6. There was a heavy snow storm prevailing when the senate met at noon yesterday and the attendance of the senators was much below what would constitute a quorum. Washburn, who was recorded yester day among the absentees, was present. The vice-president laid before the sen ate a communication from Governor Altgeld inviting the co-operation of the senate in the ceremony to take place for the placing in statuary hall of the bronze of the statue of Oeueral James Shields, contributed by the Ststeof Illinois, and Cullom gave notice that he would offer a resolution on the subject. Sherman presented a large number of petitions from soldiers of the late war, without regard to party, pray in? for an investigation into the pension bureau. Among the petitions presented ana referred were some from the state of Oregon for the maintenance of the pre sent duty on prunes, and Doiph tave notice that he would address the senate on the subject, and on the tariff gener ally next week. Hoar offered a resolution requesting the president (so far as may not be in compatible with the public intere t) to communicate copies of all instructions which may have been given to any rep resentative of the United States or any naval officer thereof sence the 4th of March, 1881, in regard to the preserva , tion of public order in Hawaii, or the ' protection of the lives and property" of American citizens, or the recognition or support of any government thereof. Sherman said that while he was in favor of the resolution he thought i; should not be acted on in the absence of the chairman of the committee on foreign relations (Morgan), and It was allowed to lie over for the present. Dolpb addressed the senate on the subject of Hawaii Highland Light, Mass., Dec. 7. When dtylight came on yesterday morning it was seeu that the liristol ship Jason, which went ashore the night bt-fom had woken amidships. Her main and ir.xzen masts are gone. Only cue of her ciew has been saved aud he was washed from the riggiug and brought ashore by the tremendous seas. The crew numbered twenty seven, of which number tw.uty-six were dr-iwued, All ti rough the night the sound of the vesel pounding on the rocks could be heard, mid the wreckage thrown upon vhe shore indicate plainly that she was going to pieces, and that there Was no hope for iter crew. It was im possible to do anything for them from the shore, the se rutinuij st high that no boat could live in it. Added to the furious wind, the snow fell so thickly that there was no way of guiding a res cuing party, except by the sound ot the Vtssel thumping upon the rocks. Nothing could be een, but the regular beating, accompanied by the crashing timbers, which could be head above the roaring of the hurricane in a gen eral way told of her location far up the line of rocks, just off shore. COl'LI) IK) NOTHING. Wlien morning came and the wreck could be been, it was known that noth ing could be done for the c.ew which, by this time, had long disappeared, having been washed off by the- tieavy seas. The Jason was a three-master, in the Indian trade, and was of 1,540 tons burden. She was built at ireeuock, Scotland, where she was owned. According to Kvan's story, as sooii as he oflii ers saw that the ship was gone he crew was ordered to tlm rigging. The hhiii struck in the changing seas of East ham and the seas begau rolling all over her. Evans was clinging to the lee side when she struck, but before he could reach a place of safety in the rigging he was swept away. The life savers, alter several unsuccessful at tempts succeeded in shooting a life-line over the doomed shio, but the sailors did not seem to le utile to secure it. The cargo of the wrecked ship con sists of 10, Mil bales of jute butts, and was consigned to the l.udlow Tallow company of this city. The cargo is fully covered by insurance in a New York company, but it is not known whether the vessel is insured or not. The ship is a total los. TELLS UK HIS REMTK. Samuel J.
