"davits of the stern wheel were broken, and a portion of the hurricane deck was torn away almost the Whole length of the steamer. -.1 We learn that the cause of the acci dent was that the draw was not open ed to its full width.

'. ; The Corbett-Fitzsimmanna Fight. Man, like all other animals is by nature- cruel and seems to take pleasure in witnessing scenes In which the low er passions and very frequently great brutality is often exhibited. He is by nature beligerent and muscular com bats particularly seem to have great at tractions for him. This is plainly evi dent in the Interest that has been exhi bited all over the country In the; prize fight -which takes place today between .thpse' noted bruisers, Corbett and;Fitz simmons. Thousands will witness the bloody combat and shout themselves hoarse over : the fearful pounding of each other by "those" athletes, and we notice also that numbers of women in tend to grace the arena with their pres ence and this too -in a community in which there are churches and school houses. All of which shows a want of decency and the decadence of morals, the instincts of the. brute rather than the characteristics of " true manhood, and more especially of womanhood. The Southern Associated Press sent out the following last night : -Washington, March 16. Arrange ments have been made to send after noon reports to all morning papers to morrow, to give them the benefit of the prize-fight bulletins. We will starj the wire about 11 o'clock," but that does not mean that bulletins will begin at that hour, only that we will be prepared to handle them.

Today Will Be Observed lb Memory of Ire land's Great Patron Saint Some thing About St. Patrick The Hibernian Bocle- , ij to Observe the Day. " Today is St. Patrick's day, and at 10 o'clock a. m.. at St. Thomas Catholic church there will be services commem orative of the day." The Hibernian Be nevolent Society, upon notice by Mr. William Flanagan, the secretary, will meet at their: hall at 9 o'clock this morning and will go in a body to the church where a discourse appropriate to the occasion' will be delivered. ' . The society will then return to its hall, and according to j their custom will hold a meeting and elect officers for the en suing year. -- The following concerning St.' Patrlk's Day is taken from The Norfolk Virgin ian: ; - j - Up St.Patriek's day all sons of Erin, friends of the Emerald -Isle, and those who glory in the spread of Christianity over the world, the history of its past' progress and the. prdmlse of the future, delight to. honor Ireland's great pat ron sam wnose wonderful missionary work in a period comparatively brief, converted the beautiful land from a state of almost savage heathenism to a practically antipodal condition of Christianity. .' It was away back in the early days. some four hundred and eleven years after the birth of Christ; when. . the Scots and Picts in one of their incur sion upon the neighboring Roman pro vince south of the Wall of Severus, in Britain, captured a youth of about fif teen years and carried him off, with many others from the district, in the neighborhood of Wall at the head of the Solway.and sold him' on the. opposite coast mt Ireland, in the territory of Irish Picts, called Dal Aralde. This youth was the future apostle of the Irish. He was the grandson of Pontitus(- a priest. and the son of Calpunius, a -deacon, and a magistrate. For a period of about six years, though some chronicles make it sixteen, " the youth Succat, or Patrick remained in hard slavery, . his duties being chiefly tending his master's cattle upon the Flemish ; mountains in the county An trim. He was an enthusiastic personal ity and much given in his lonely watch ing, to prayer and meditation, and when, one day he learned of a means of escape, saw visions, and it was probably here that he first conceived the idea of devoting his life to the con version of the Irish.though his plan did not mature until after he made his es cape. The details of this latter incident of his life are not known.though it is be lleved that he made his way secretly to one -of the towns on th coast and was taken thence in a vessel to France, where lie began to prepare himself for the great work which: lay before him. He visited Tours, the island, of Ler, in the Mediterenean. and Rome where he received his commission from Pope Celestine. This portion of his life is more or less little known, and is the subject of considerable controversy among chroniclers. At any rate, a few years after his es cape, he was back among the Britons with his kindred who received him as a son and. besought him not to part from them again. But -he was bent upon his mission. He dreamed that a man whose name was Victorious came to him bearing innumerable epistles,, one of which began with the words: "The Voice of the Irish." And when re peating the words he thought he heard the voice of those who were upon the western coast : of Ireland calling him and beseeching him to come and hence forward work among them. This dream was followed by others. Patrick was about twenty-two when be escaped. He was probably about thir ty when he entered upon his mission. He was probably about forty-five years old when consecrated as bishop. It was probably 469 A. D., which would place the length of his mission as priest and bishop at about forty-four years. The chief facts of his life in Ireland are as follows: He sailed from France to Wales or Ireland (both claim the honor.) Be that as it may. he first landed as a missionary In Ireland in the town Of Wicklow, at the mouth of the river Vartry. Thence he sailed north to convert his old master Mil chu, who destroyed himself upon his aDoroach. In the County Down, he converted a chief named Dichu. who bestowed upon him the first Christian church St. Patrick possessed. It was called "Sabball," or "The Bam" and it is still a church called by exactly the same name. ' St, Patrick then went to the County Meath and preached to one Leary or Laoghaire, the king ofJTara, and it is in this case he is said to have used the shamrock to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity. He visited after that a number or. other counties, nis mission being remarkably successful, founding. it is said 365 churches, baptizing 12,000 persons, consecrating 450 bishops, and ordaining a vast number of priests. He died at Sabhull (Saul); and was buried at Downpatrick, where his relics were preserved down to the period of the Reformation, The day is generaly celebrated in Ire land and the United States, where so many of the oppressed of that now stricken .land have found homes and liberty in the Land of the Free. The various Irish, patriotic and benevolent orders in this country make it the oc casion of rejoicing, and festival." and there is not a city in the land where some token of the day will not be worn, for even places where the Irishman has not gone, and they are few, are to be found Irish hearts that keep the memory of old Ireland and her patron saint as green as the little sprig or ribbon, which will be found upon the lapels of their coats.

THE TARIFF BILL Considered bythe Ways and Means Com mlttee Explained by Members of the ' Majority Democrats Want Time to Pro pose Amendments. , Washington, March 16. The new tar iff bill was considered today by the ways and means committee. The morn ing session lasted three hours. The time was occupied principally in dis cussing the several schedules and ex plaining the i reasons for various in creases. These explanations were made by the members who were most con versant with the work. The suggestion that the bill be reported Thursday met with strong opposition from the minor ity. The chairman disclaimed any pur pose of curtailing the opportunities for offering amendments, but pointed out the necessity for getting the bill before the house "at" the earliest moment. The democrats Insisted that they only de sired time In which . to offer such amendments as justice and logic de manded. It was explained that no special as signments of work were made, but that the committee worked together as a whole, ' except in case where certain members, from their familiarity with the subject,' were given the practical control of a schedule. Mr. Russell, of Connecticut, It appears, was largely responsible for the - woolen schedule which was explained by him. Similar ly the changes 'in the agricultural schedule were interpreted by Mr. Dol liver, of Iowa. The iron and steel and glass schedules were explained by Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania; sugar by Mr. Payne, of New- Tork, and wood by Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, Mr. Dolliver stated in reference to the agricultural schedule that the changes were more in form than in substance. The duty on almgis was less than the McKinley rate. So far as oranges were concerned, thV duty was assessed by the pound instead of by the bulk in order to secure a more equitable ad justment in the collection of the duty. The increased rate on broken rice was made to prevent evasion of the present law. Chicory root, hitherto free, was pow dutiable at 3 cents a pound, inas much as the industry had been recently established in the west of preparing it as a substitute for coffee. Mr. Payne was asked as to the amount of revenue the sugar schedule would produce. ; "He could not say, but thought the increase would be about $16,000,000. Mr. Robertson, of Louis iana, estimated the revenue from su gar to be $50,000,000 per annum.. : Mr. Wheeler.of Alabama, referring to the glass schedule, desired information as to the increases in small glass. Mr. Dalzell replied that the commit tee found that duty on small glass was not protective arid that an equalization had been made by lowering the duty on the higher grades. There was some criticism from the democrats of transferring cotton ties from the free list to the dutiable list, but it elicited no explanation from the majority, although Mr. Wheeler as serted that we were now exporting cotton ties in great quantities to coun tries so remote as India. . The democrats criticised the increas ed : rate on timber for. spars and wharves and for the construction of tel egraph lines, to which the republicans responded by stating the reasons which had led to them. It was developed incidentally that the tariff on 95 per cent, of the sugar importations will yield an ad valorem duty of 72 per cent, . It was decided at the afternoon meet ing of the committee that an adjourn ment Should be taken from this even ing until 10 o'clock Thursday morning. The purpose of this was to permit the democratic members to study the bill and to prepare the amendments which they propose offering when the com mittee re-assembles. The minority will tomorrow afternoon meet at the capi tol and .decide upon the line of policy to be pursued by them, both in com mittee and in the house. It is still un decided if the bill shall be reported Thursday, but the democratic mem bers believe this -to be the intention of the majority. The understanding is that if the bill be reported Thursday it wiU be at once taken up for consid eration without waiting for the demo cratic majority to report Some of the republican members think two weeks should suffice for debating the measure in the house. -The liquor schedule was the first to be considered - this afternoon. Mr. Evans, of Kentucky, who was promi nently identified with Us preparation, .explained its provisions. : He showed how the duty on brandy had been in creased from $1.80 to $2.50 a gallon, and pointed to advantages the wine pro ducers of France would gain if that government should give this country corresponding advantage on our ex ports. He showed that the rates in the liquor schedule were substantialy a re turn to those in the McKinley law. - ' Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, referred to the enormous profits which the man ufacturers of a certain grade of liq uors enjoy in this country owing to the excessive protection which enables them to sell afe. cheap article at enor mous profit. ' Mr. Russell, of Connecticut, was questioned as "to the various para graphs constituting the cotton schedule The schedule relating to flax and jute was discussed by paragraphs and the inquiries of the democrats were an swered by Mr, Payne, of New .York. . Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, explained the provisions of the woolen schedule. Mr. Russell was next called upon to explain the silk and paper schedules, which he did In extenso. The latter schedule, he said, differed little' if any from the present law. Cronp, 1 Coughs, ZOOLB- mche. DTAKBJTCBA. DPSEWTERV. and all BOWEI, COMPLAINTS.
