is of Hie opinion that there was a third
, vessel In the collision, as he saw Bour
gogni' :i;k within ten minutes uf'.er tht
collision.
i Somr of the scenes enacted on La Hour
g'wtne Jut afur the collision were terribli
to wl'ti..'.!'. Jim fought for positions In
the boats like raving maniacs. Women
were forced back from the boats and
trampled on by the men, who made s-lf-pn
si rvatii.n their first object. Among
them w.re a large number of the lower
class of luillnns and foreigners who In
their frmsy s:o'hiI at nothing that prom-Im-iI
safety for themselves.
' In ii boat was a party of ' women, but
, so gnat was the panic not a hand was
I raised to assist In Ha launching. The oc-
rupants. so nearly saved, were drowned
j like ruts when the ahlp with an awful
, hissing sound went down.
I So desperate was the situation that an
Italian passenger drew his knife and
tnnde a direct attack on one who, like
himself, was endeavoring to reach a boat.
Immediately his action was Imitated In
every direction. Knives were flourished
and used with effect. Women and chil
dren were driven back to Inevitable death
at the point of weapons.
According to the stories of the survivors
women were staboed like so many sheep.
The scene on the water was even worse.
Many of the unfortunates who were strug
gling In the water attempted to drug
themselves Into the boats or on the rafts.
These were pushed back Into a watery
grave. Here, too, knives were used freely.
Not all of the dead met death by drown
ing, idrlstopher Bruhnon saw a sailor
belonging to La Bourgogne strike a pass
enger over the head with a bar and kill
him. The body dropped Into the water.
The passenger grabbed the boat In which
the sailor was and attempted to get on
board.
One passenger sttld that the officers and
crew of La Bourgogns neglected the
passengers entirely. The second officer
was the only man of trie crew who did
anything to help the terrified and help
less passengers. He cut loose all the boats
he could, and In fact all the boats that
were launched were launched by the
brave second officer. He was the last one
seen standing on the deck with his hands
on the rigging going resignedly to certain
death.
Christopher Bruhnon, a passenger, was
thrown into the water and swam for two
hours before he found a boat. Ho clung
to this as his last hope. After some time
another man got hold of the same bont
and they manatred to right It. Under the
seats they found the dead bodies of four
men and three women, who had evidently
been drowned by the capslsing of the
boat Bruhnon said the crew was cruel
In their conduct toward the passengers.
He was umible to get In the steamer's
boat when he came on deck, being shoved
away by the sailors. He saw many ot
his friends being prevented from getting
into the boats by the sailors.
August Plyrgl was In the water about
half an hour and attempted to get Into a
boat. He was seised when he managed
to get In and thrown back Into the water.
Again he tried to enter the boat, but the
savages who manned It were determined
to keep him out. He managed at last
to get In and stay In. Clinging to a life
line of the boat not far nway he saw his
mother, and If his trials were not enough
he was forced to watch a man shove her
Into the ocean with an oar. 8he never
rose. Jle said that the man was anved
and was almost sure he could recognise
him. He saw an Englishman attempt to
get into the boat, but the men In the boat,
who were sailors of La Bourgogne, hit
him on the head with n oar. He fell
buck and sank.
Charles Llobra expressed himself as
thoroughly ashamed of his countrymen's
conduct. This man Is one ot the most
unfortunate. He had his two motherless
boys, 5 end 7 years old, with him. He put

con.ciences of tne leaders on ootn siaes
of the chamber were held and a tacit
agreement was reached that a vote should
be taken tomorrow or rtday at the

and as they had no desire to Keep the
senate In session by purely dilatory tac
tics they announced their willingness that
a vote should be taken as soon as WhRe,
Pettlgrew and Allen had ttntnshed their ;

Neither White nor Pettlgrew spoke at

he began that his speech might occupy (
the entire day and part of tomorrow.
However, he concluded to eliminate part
of the matter he had .prepared and at

It v.'as evident Instantly that a vote
