TIM LATRBT PARrICULARS: The very 'latest. information regarding the wrecked steamer Daniel Steinmann - is that out of aorew of 39 and the captain and 90 passengers only nine reached shore, the oaptain, five of the (mew and three passengera, who are now on Sambre island, a short distance from the mainland, Owingto the heavy sea that prevailed in the neighborhood of the island it is unlikely thatahe survivors will be able to reach the mainland till noon to morrow, or until the sea becomes oalrner. No particulars tan therefore be learned in regard to the disiti- ter at present. , . EPPORTS TO REACH THE WRECE; • The Government steamer Newfield left . the city at 3 o'clock this afternoon for the scene of the wreck. but the fog. was so thick it was impeseible to reach the fatal spot, the oaptean considering it net safe to hunch a surf boat on account of the rough. nem of the sea, and imprudent.to go nearer than five miles to the wreok becataie of the density of the fog. Another effort will be made by the Newfield to morrow :to reach the spot where the unfortunate vessel was lost. Three steam tugs, also endeavored to make- their way to the aunken ateamee, but were compelled to turn bath, beieg unable to get further than Herring cove; some ten_ miles trim the wrecked ship. A wrecking schooner, with a well-equipped crewof divers, will leave here in the morning for the wreck to raise the remains of the drowned, and whatever portion of the cargo on be saved. LOCALITY OE THE DISASTER. A number a reports are in circulation in. gard to where the vessel struck, the 'moat laueible being that she sunk on White Horse aleoal, within a short distance of Sambre Island. The exceeding roughness. of the Elea will probably cautie the rapid breaking up of tbe wrecked vessel, , The • captain of the Steinmann having only been in this port three times, it is net ,at all probable he was aware of the dangerous coast around Sambre, or of the awful peril' he was in until tog lets to avoid the, disaster. • An Unfortunate Steamship Company. A Boston t legrata sive The Daniel Steinmann, which dunk on Thorsday night off Haeitax,ire the fourth steamer of the White Crosa Line loet since 1881. The " Ludwig" sailed in 1881 on a voyage to Halifax and was never heard from. She was built by an Englielo compeny, and named the" Hansa," but weal -old to the White Cros.s • Line, the • name being ohanged to "Ludwig." She had made but four trips, three of them to Boston. The Henry Edye was lost in December, 1881. The Plandn, chartered/ by this line, sailed frora New York on November lltb, Igo, for Antwerp, with fiftootwo paseengete, and was abandoned at math December 6th in e.sitekieg condicion, her paasengers being takeh off by- the" Dritish brig G. D. T. and landed at Oporto Deoember 26th, The Daniel Steiernann sailed from Antwerp on Mai& 2let for Halifax and New York nutlet command of Capt. .Sehoonliaver. She pateed St. Cathode°, in Eke Englieh Channel, the next day. Her ravage rone that point to the piece where she sank is considered a, very remarkably quick eine for her. She was built in 1875 by an English company and named the Xhedive, but was sold to her present owners, 13Minrnann & -Ludwig, in Antwerp, later in 1875, when her name was changed to Daniel Steinmann. A last (Sunday) night's Halifax despatch says Government eteanier Newfield left the city at 5.40 thie ;morning for Sam- bre Island for the purpose of getting off the orew and of securing all poseible infornsa- don- Running at 7 °Week within a few hUudred yards of the island, she oast anahor between it and Bull rook, and proceeded to make the neceesary preparation for getting the survivocs from the island, A boat was soon 18,uuthed with an enxioue crew, and the men pulled for the spot where the sue- vivors were awaiting rt lief. Upon landing, the weather-beaten sailors and passengers who had happily escaped the horrors of a wateey grave were interviewed by the rescuing party, and the following details of the dreadful catastrophe were elioited by a reporter. The aurviving paseengers and seamen ot the ill-fated steamer are as fol- lows Henri Sohoonhoven, Antwerp, cap- tain ; Eugene Niokola, Mutford, Liaxern. burg; Luxe) Nicola, Vluoeuzo, Salome, Italy; John Mederman Ethenhoten, Ober Bayen ; Otto Kranz, Wittchendorf, near Solewarzburg ; Freels Florentine Disseri, Charles Von Louis, Petro Perigee, Ant- werp; Fritz Vick Stralsund, Prusvia. • • THE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. . • The captain's statement is as followe " On the 3rd of April, after a voyage of 1$e days trove Antwerp, at 6 p.m., the 'bearing of Ohebucto, by dead reckoning and the poundings, was west half Floutb, by campus distance 25 miles. Owing to the fog and heavy rain we steamed dead elow, steering west quarter south and sounding every hour. About 9-15 I saw through the inlet a faint light about two pointe on the starboard boWe disappearing out of sight at times for four or five minutes. Taking it for Chehuoto I steered for it, sounding thirty fathoms and ten inches. Twenty minutes later I saw that it was the fixed light of Sambre appearing clear, and at the same wee seeing it faint show of what I took to be Chebucto light about,fouiponete on the starboard how. • I etheded 26 fathome. I thou putthe beim t ard sport, but it was foci late, just before the ehip 'etruok on the rook.. I at no. time heard the fog whistle off Sanabro. The &st- ele* Was light, the second heavy, carrying away the steering grate. After this we could not get Glee engines to work, but drifted over the rooke and anchored, the hip iying too pretty quiet; and there being littie sea, I ordered toe chief and second metes to lower the boats and get the chil- dren and female passengers in first. While I saw' this going on, having already one boat in the water, the crew working with a will, I saw the ALE) coming nearer to the breakers again, when I ran forward to gee it the obtain cable was not broken. Before getting there it monetrous sea broke over stircepeepawashing overboard everypassen- ger, children and women, who stood on deck. This Was icamediately,followed by - AN AWFUL main; and the ship went down as quick aslight- Ling, first oarryiug every one down who was on deck and those who ran up the fore rigging. I was washed out before getting half way, but afterwards aucceeded in catching the topsail yards, which stood just above the water. A .13:lenient after a passenger was able to join nee. The night wae foggy and rainy and vve saw nothing more. The next morning we were gallantly rescued by three men upon Sambre Island about 5 o'clock in oae of our own boats, there being no life or rooket apparatus on the island: Some of the crew had already .succeeded in reaching the land through the. serf. The riumber of passengers drowned was ninety; the number . of the, crew drowned thirty.three. The saved passengers were three, and the crew six. We load it fine voyage till we reaohed the bank, which we crossed in 44.33, and where we saw enme patches of field icie. Thence we had , almost continual fog with rain till we rationed the Neva Scotia coast. • Our laet observations were taken on the morning of the 2ad. ' We had it full general cargo of about 1,400 tons. The etetuner Was drew: ing twenty feet six inches aft and nineteen fees forward. The ship is now evidently broken with make through her bottom. Tne storm was from •the eastward when we streak, with dense fog and rain. It was impossible to save any passengers whot- ever. I stayed in the foretopsail yards, but having to go further' up to clear the break of the sea I mantained a position in the, redlines for eight houreein 'ocimpany_ with orient the surviving pasemegers. We were afraid to lath ourselves for fear the mast would break away, so 'nee jud held on, -all ready to jump, from 10 p.m. to 5.00 a.m. A heavy line was thrown to us, and we jumped into the water and were pulled through the surf into the but. .ACCOhNT OP THE RESCUED 'PABENGERS. The eurviving three passengers of, the steamier Darnel Steinme.un are now in this city. They state that the vessel struck but -lightly twice, The captian- then summoned. them all on deck, and directed' them to prepare to enter the.boate, if mob 'amnia be necessary. One boat was launched arud all made a rush for it, though 'good dia. Menne was maintained among the ship's orew. The boat was well filled, and at. Welled to the Mesmer by a rope. 'When home of those on board were about cutting -the line the steamer suddenly sunk,draggiug the boat and its unfortunate occupaete with it. The boat 'turned over and over, and every pawn in it was thrown out and drownee: When the stern of the vessel earik, the cries and screams. of the women and children were heartrending for ti few iainutee. Cepa Soloobnhoven made bis way up the fore rigging. , Two men (Aught the rigging of the msiamitet and endeavored to climb along the stay between the beads of the two masts. In this perilous passage one lost his grasp and was washed away; the oileraJohn Neidermann, succeeded by it desperate effort, in the °three of which his legs were seized by thine one drowniug, in reaching the fore -rigging *when he .was about Otchaueted, gad pulled into it coin. paratively safe . potation by the captain, who then took is position Mame him on the mad..

To add 10 the horror of their Ott:laden; they saw blue lights burn- ing on shore and signals to guide the boats to safety, while conscious they were beyond essistanee or relief. At last daylight appeared, and the lookout on the island noticed one man on the rigging and then the head of the other annealing behind the mast. Soon after a boat put out from the cove manned by tive men, who approached them. The captain was by this time so benumbed that his companion Ntidrnann had to use force to clieengage him from the elm and asaist hirci into the boat. He then followed and both were landed and taken into tbe lighthouse, where their needs were promptly attended to. AMONG THE curoope INCIDENTS connected with the escape of the seven persons landed in the boat during the bight cow of the most thrilling was that of the Celiac', ha haviag grasped the boat just after she left tbe &earner. Her occupants refused to take hicn in because it nuneber of other drowsier{ persons bad tieizad his lege and body, and it was certain that the boat could not take them all without swamping, as she was already half full of water. The Galiiin lit once dived, and tbue eluded those holding bine. He soon reappeared at the surface and again caught the boat. He was then taken in, but he was so exhausted that for a time be was helpless. The boat was in danger of Rain- deriug owing to the water that waa con- stantly coming in, and those in her took off their boots to hat' her oue, The Callan at first refused to midst in this work, bat on being threatened with being thrown overboard again unleas he assisted to keep the boat free he mhde an effort to do so. Another singular escape was that of Nio- kola, it lad of 19 years. Juet as the boat left tloe sinking steamer he jumped frcm the bridge, falling into the boat on his head. He unstained no innary except having one leg bruin& TEM NUMBER OP AD'ULT FEMALES on board cannot be asoenained ea present, but it hi estimated to lave been almost twenty. The youngest person on board, eo far aeis known, was an infant three months old.

'The marquis proposer is cave Ireland a Four•Elarreiled Parliament, WILL THIS SUIT THE AGITATORS P The Marquis of Lorne is treading in his ' father% femme:m*8a a sensational dootrin. sire. Re has come out as an advocate a um Home Rule, with a brand-new panacea for Irish ditoontent. He has elaborated it in a long article juet published in tbe Apeil number of the Contemporary Review. Ire. land, he Bays, is clamor log for a Perhament of her owu, but at the same time the English stateemen dee& it insoleable that the imperial sway of Eogland ehould be removed from ODO of her fairest posseseione, or that the vast interests of Englislatren ebould be left to the naeroy of an indepen- dent and.perhape hostile legieleture. He therefore' proposes as a 00iliprOMin what he calla "Provincial Home Rule in Ire. land" He would have four pp:willow Diets—that of. Leinster, eto kit at Dublin; of Munster, at Cork ; of Ulster, at Belfast, and of Connaught, at Galway. These Diets should each °maid of an upper house or mate, and a popular, branoti Or ohataber of deputies. ,The term of service in the upper house he would establish, at six years,. one-third of tne membera being elected every two years, white all tloe mambas ' of the lower house should be elected bienniaily • all the members of both houses to be eleoted by popular sobject to the same regulations and the same qualifications ler eleo. tore as now prevail for Pe.rlisanent. The powers and duties of thew Diets the Marquis would have confined etrietly to local purposes, mob as tha imposition and collection of the poor rates, school taxes and assemements for toast publio inaprove- mend and the maintenance of public oder within the provincial limits. He would leave undisturbed the adrninietrative machinery a the island, oompriaing the Lord Lieutenancy, the County Lieuten. anoies and all other Cro.wri-effioialarand would leave to the Imperial Parliament the levying of the Queen's tax and the enact - meld of all general laws for the government of the blend as RV present. •. The Marquis argues that the -Irishmen's pride in their local assemblies would sup- plant their desire for a central' Parliament at Dublin; that thein taste or electioneer- ing and for enjoying the power of the ballot would be amply gratified by the frequent elections provided, and that those functions of goverument of wbioet they see and feel the results most dire'otly, being exercised by their own representatives, they would have the feeling of governing themselves; while in regard to all things vital to Eng- lish or imperial interests, matters would remain the way they are at present. - LAUGHING. AT LORNE'S STAT.ECRiPT. A correspondent this evening asked Mr. A. M. Sullivan, the eminent Irish pub - !joist, for bia- opinion Of thOMarquis' article. '" Bosh I" exclaimed Mr. Sullivan. ".1110 Lordship doom's know' what he is writing about.• His proemial shows that his ignore ance,of Irish affairs is ,eimely dealorenie. The Matquis is fresh from Canada. The Canadians are-peotiliarly loyal and at the same time-extremely.jealous of their local righte. They poesess local legislatures and are contented with the general domina- tion Of England: Lorne thinks it would be eolution of the Irish queetiou. to apply the Ca,nadia.n eysteni to Ireland. )3at the Irish situation is the very reVerse of the Canadian. The people of Ireland are con- tented witlo their district governments and. are at yearsageinat the general domination of Eugland; ,The Canadians don't wish to be a nation ; the Irish do. ThoCanadians ,protest against independence.; the ,rrieh •ere rebels- against allegiance. •The main source of • trouble in securing .desirable legislation for. Ireland is that tholes Who control British opinions and•Perliament are all at least as ignorant of Irish affairs as Lorne. • His proposal to. and. Irish 're- bellion against 4oglish Government by giving the Irishmore local rights and less nationality is like an ettenept to -quench a beead- stuffed beggar's thirst by giving him more dry. bread. Perhaps, however, I should give Loroe credit for the intelligence of the malignity his article appears to con- tain. His idea seems to be to set the. Irish people by tke ears by reviving the four hos- tile kingdoms ; in other worde, to- conquer the Duni bydividing them against One another. His scheme is BO ridiculous that in the London clubs it is already -dubbed ' Lorne?,, Irish Home Rule (Limited).'" • A DOUBLE 11ANGING. The Stevenson Brothers Expiate Thefr Crime at Regina. .
