Coast Just Outside the Mersey?The ^ "White Star Liner's Uovr? Stuve In?A ?u Wild Panic on tha Decks or the |~ Cuinl?rac?Lord Dunraven on Hoard. The While Star Line steamer Germanic, Captain McKinstrv, which had sailed from Liverpool, England, for Now York.came into collision shortly after leaving the Mersey with steamer Cumbrae, of Glasgow, inward bound for Liverpool. The Cumbrao was sunk and the Germanic's bows were stove. Fortunately, the accident resulted in no loss of life. The Germanic rescued the passengers and crew of the wrecked vessel and returned to Liverpool. A dense fog prevailed at the time of the collision. Among the passengers on the Germanic ) were Lord Dunraven and the members of John Hare's company, including Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Hare, son and daughter-in-law of John Hare; Mr. ana Mrs. Charles Groves, and Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Curzon. Mre. ika TI Una Ta(Ti*AVC 1/U16UU Id IUC avuw.1 AJUtW vvuaw^w. The Germanic left her quay under an easy head of steam. The weather at the time was extremely thick, and every precaution was taken to avoid un accident. The seamen were stationed in the crow's nest, in addition to the ordinary lookout. After about __ eight miles of slow steaming, warning whistles being sounded meantimo at short intervals, the vessel reached Crosby Channel. By this time the fog had become so in- _ tense, as to hide everything from view. Suddenly a whistle sounded clo3e by. and , the Germanic promptly responded. It was jz too late, however, to avoid a collision, and 55 the White Star liner struck the Cumbrae a r! slanting blow between the forecastle and the J" forohatch. The Germanic's bow penetrated the side of the Cumbrae to a depth of tout- z* teen feet. If the Germanio h3d been under vi more way she would doubtless have cut the X: smaller v.^ssel completely in two. 2j On the Cumbrae's decks a scen9 of terror 2. ensued. There were twenty-eight passen gers on the vessel, including a number of " women and children, who rushed to and R: fro, shrieking in their terror, or fell on thair knees and prayed aloud to be saved. On f? the OermHnio also there was much excitement, all the passengers rushing un deck to a:certain what had happened. The shock tt of the collision was not severe enough, however, to cause great alarm, and the excitement on the big liner soon subsided. j Captain McKinstry at once ordered sufficient way to be maintained to keep the bo ws of the Germanio in the hole made in the ZT Cumbrae's side, and officers and men calmly J. and actively proceeded to the work of rescue. Belts, ropes and ladders were thrown on the Cumbrae's deck, and within a minute all the ^ Easeengere and crew of the doomed vessel ad either scrambled or been hauled on the , Germanic's deok. One passenger was slightly injured while being hauled on board, and a woman fell overboard, but was instantly p, rescued by a boat from the Germanic, which had:been previously lowered. When all m were safe, the Germanio'6 engines were re- , versed and the vessels separated. ^ The Cumbrae immediately lurched and ' began to settle. Seventeen of the Cumbrae's gf crew and a dozen of the Germanic's men entered a boat, with the intention of boarding the Cambrae in order to draw her fires to prevent an explosion and to try to save prop- re erty.

I w Barbara Aub, awaiting trial for perjury in 30 "Tho Tombs," New York City, while in a ' n< state of hysterical emotion bordering upon frenzv. repudiated the confession of perjury j to which she made December 2, on the strength 4n jof which Wa ter L. 8.

Barbara Aub now retracts all that she sol- ; emnly affirmed in Recorder Gaff's house, in 8? the presence of Mrs. Whittemore and Mary K9liard, on the occasion of the memorable conference of Thanksgiving nieht.

W1 lie resolution recited Mr. Bayard's state- ^ ent in his Edinburgh speech referred to in i r. McCali's resolution in which the United no ates Ambassadorto the Court of St. James's olared that the protection system was qb ate socialism. These utterances, the Qf aolution declared, were reflections on rpj )Uoy, and were in manifest disregard of ^ i6 proprieties, and calculated to injure our jj ational reputation. The resolution directed e Foreign Affairs Committee to examine .e utterances in that speeoh and to draft id report articles of impeachment to the ouse. ~ The matter was discussed by Messrs. Bar- dl itt. Crisp. Dinglev. Cummings, McCreary. >hnson, Hitt and Cannon. hi On motion of Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, the wi ords "by impeachment or otherwise" were an rack out of the resolution.
