Bordeaux, June 14 An Appalling accident occurred today just outside the harbor ot Blaye, on the river Gironde, 24 miles northeast of this city. Lying off the harbor was the British steamer petroli i, commanded by Cant. Hubbcek. which lind arrived June 1-th from Philadelphia.

On Thursday Mr. Culberson, of Texas called up the house bill, imposing restrictions 011 the sale of leaf tobacco by the farmer. This measure-was introduced by Representa tive Crawford, of Asbfville, and in the debate which followed, Mr. Crawford spoke effectively to the bill. He said that in his part of the country the charge had been made that this meas ure was in the interests of the tobacco manufacturers, but he had never yet licen able to find anv one who could ex plain how the measure will operate in the interest of the manufacturer ot and against the interest ot the grower of the leaf. He said that the McKinlev bill had regaled the tax on the sale of leaf to bacco by the farmer, and it had also re pealed the law requiring them to keep books, hut on second thought it seemed to be the idea that this was granting to much to tnis class ol people. Mr. Crawterd spokeof the great indus try of tobacco raising. It was a legiti mate enterprise and an honorable occu pation; thousands of people in the United States who are identified with the interestsof tbe country have as much right to make tobacco as other people have to make corn. Was it right to subject all these people to the- hardship of being forced to answer to the courts wf the country whether or not they have sold tobacco whenever it suits the dis cretion of these internal revenue agents to force them to answer in order that they more effectively ascertain whether some manufacturers are violating the law ? It was an excuse for oppressing the people. Why. said Mr. Crawford, "down in my country I pressed them on this ques-' tion, and some of them denied that there is such a law. One of my opponents de nied it on the stump, and still another prominent republican editor said in his paper, 'that is a bad law.' But he said it was a democratic liw that bad been carried over by the republican congress of 1890 and should be repealed. We have not bad any democratic legislation for quite a long while, and the country is wanting some." The opposition to this measure seemed to be principally confined to congress men who represent other tobacco pro ducing regions, which are apparently jealous of the tobacco producing fields ol tbe southern states, it is to be regretted that several of these members are on tbe democratic side of the house, who ought to be in sympathy with Mr. Crawford's measure.

Cal , June 14 A report which shook the town like n shnrp shock of an earthquake was heard yes terdav and it was followed by the ring- Miff nl" alarm bells at the Mare Island navv vard.

The woman of this situation proved to be a lady Irom Iowa, who stood upon a chair above McKinlev and chewctl gum conscien tiously and with a veteran's skill. Chris McGce, the handsome stalwart : enemy ot Quay stood in the aislesnuling, ! wjth'the knowledge that while the dele- ouUide ofthe ,)a1 mon ! than a dozen had pledged themselves to 1 desert Quay at the last moment. From I a physical point ot view Chris Magee is : ', st-nntnr- W.drott in ! stature, vigor, and beauty. Physically I he could break Ouav in two without nuttiiiLT him on his knee. Politically he did so with as little effort. Mr. Thomas B. Rccd of Maine, proved to be well worth looking nt. He was halt leaning against the chair of William Walter Phelps' daughter, and while she fanned him with a great palm leaf, Miss Hitt poured her musical veicc into his ear. Mrs. Kerens Irom behind sent grateful breezes to his great bald plate, rnd altogether the picture was that 01 lurkish pasha enjoying nis utmost ease. .Many persons wno oniy mm 01 Reed as a dictator are surprised to see him so constantly surrounded by the ladies.
