Mr. Glltimn asked General Duniont If a tugboat would bo liable-for cm- rylnK *i pliyalclan to a porson In distress. •The answer wan returned that she would not; ut least no Hue would over bo assessed ■calustlier If she waa reported Wa colloctor of c^tonis for vlqlatlng the'lnw. The gen- crnl insured his listeners that he was with them so long as they kept within the strict letter of the law. He hellryed that some of [lie In"8 could be Changed' advantageously and without .Interfering with the ends' of commerce. Ho said he had bebn all through the mill himself and he perfectly understood the needs of steamboatmen. He related the following Interesting little story about an experience he had while engaged in the nenmboat business: "During the war my steamboat lay In New,York being repaired, and when I did get her ready Mr sen I suc¬ ceeded-In getting a splendid charter. We loaded and started out of the harbor. Be¬ fore we got out to sea the boat stopped and the engineer came to me and said theie was a big hole In the boiler. 'Can It be plugged up with a block of eoft pine?' I Inquired, and when he assured nle that he could make fomc sort of repairs if he had time enough, I told him to go ahead. Then he'went out. It was a- big risk to take, I know, but we had n good charter; a man will forget that he Is in danger when there Is money In It. So I: Is with—yoH-getttlemenpimd-wltlnill (tcomboat men." General Dumonr, in speak¬ ing of the law which compels passenger Hsteamers to be provided with bulkheads, ■aid that It applied to every kind ot craft and It must be obeyed —Jnter Ocean. THE FIGHT ENDED. Evor since the season opened there line been war between the steamers running on the St, Clair rjver route. The steamer Ma¬ ry formerly rnn oil the Detroit and Toledo' route, but she was taken from that route by parties who purchased her and placed heron the route between Port Huron and Algnnac. At the beginning ot the season the Pick-up, a small steamer, rnn opposition to theMary, but she proved to be no match lor her and the steamer Massasauga was, purchased for the route. It wits thought that the Massa- uiugn, as she wns it fleet little steamer, would be able to oust tlio Mury. It, how-- ever, was soon ascertained that the Massa- Miigii was not the faster boat, although she iniule her landings quicker t'lan the Mary, The owners of the Massasauga weru deter¬ mined to run the Mary off the route, If pos¬ sible, and pecured the Pick up to run In con¬ nection with their boat at reduced rales. The Mary was equal to the occasion and also reduced rates. The war continued until about n few weeks ago, when the Pick-up hauled oil' the route and'he light remained^ between the Mary and Massasucga. Early, In the week the Mary again reduced 'the rules fiom twenty-HVe cents to ten cents for the round trip between Algonnc and Port Huron, arid arranged her time table so as to have ilie wharf at exactly, the same time as the .Massasauga; It appenrs that the latter •steamer Iibb been a source of oxponse to her owners during the whole time .8h« has been running on the roule.nnd It is tjVldent Iron) die following special fn>ni Port Huron that she could not withstand the luet cut In fare the Mary 'made: Pobt Hf iion, August 28.—The lung tight 'or local business on the St. Clair river, be¬ tween the two fast passenger boats, Miiry mid Muvsnsanga, Is ended.

An exhibition was glvon at tho life saving •stnt on to show the citizens of Buffalo what fitcllltlci thoy have ft* saving life and rirop. orty. Tho station Is manned by olght surf, men and ncaptalmor keeper.. In apparatus they had .four lifeboats of dlfleront typos Mid annlltlcp, one flreb'oat with force puran "nr "P"8/0" "rp.protection to station and shippings one ferry boat.ono llfc-cnr, two mortar guns for tiling lltw bearing prnjco- tiles nr shot, one boat wagon and one mor- .._............ tar cart, hawseis, lines, shot lines, purchliBe-anyrlads of worms* two Inches tackles, Ufa buoys, life lines, etc., nil com- Htm^n-Oimtter 'of nri'lnoh In plelo for autual service. ' The lifeboats wtjre first tested by pulling iindcapslzlng with the crew, and with the following results: Tho English douhlo- banked, life boat welghlnprnearly three tons, pulled heavily with eight oarsmen',' tjas cap., sized, righted herself and was free of- water" In three minutes The Dobbins single- blinked surf llfoboat, weight I.GOO pounds, pulled easlly.wlth six oarsmen, was capsized, righted herself and was free of water In twelvo seconds. The Dobbins double- banked surf lifeboat, weight 1,000 pounds, pulled easily with six nnramen, righted her¬ self when capsized and frced'herself of wa¬ ter In ten seconds. The Dobbins open surf boat, weight 1,000 pounds, pulled swiftly with six oarsmen, righted when capsized, but would not free lijrself trom water, and remained sunk to her gunwale totally unserviceable until bulled out by hand. The English.lifeboat Is a good deep-water boat, but, having air chambers below deck, is liable, in case ol being stove or leaking, to. fill up nlth water and slnk.lolier gunwales, and thereby become unserviceable. Tho two Dobbins s'irf lilebonts are good surf boats; can bo lnunche'u*by hand from the beach, and being stowed solid with cork under deck, have no air spaces below water, and are not liable to being filled up with water In case ol staving, and are therefore totally unsubmergeable. The Dobbins ope i surf iboat is doubtless as gund us an open bont can be. The rescue of life from shipwreck was shown by the firing of a line from snore over a supposed-wreck 100 yards distant and landing a shipwrecked mariner In six min¬ utes. The rain put a atop to further opera¬ tions, and the contemplated rescue! oj^ other shipwrecked mariners with the life-ear, the Are protection drill and exercise with the flrcbout, the resuscitation ol the apparently drowned, an exchange of intornntioual code ot signals, and service operations' with bilged or stove lffebont, were cut short.— Buffalo Commercial Atlvertiter. A Leader special says on the 20th of April,' 1877, the tug Belle King was sunk during a storm on Peach Island reel, off Gibraltar Island. Last Tuesday, parties who had been at work for several days, succeeded In raising herV> that her bows are now out of water. The captain of the tng Crnwford, who visited her, reports that the machinery and boilers sec ill in good condition, but that tho stern Is badly crushed in. At tho time of sinking1, the King was on her way trom Toledo to U'cllanil Canal, with the dredge Champion and two scows In tow, and under charier of Wilcox Bros,, who had a dredging contract on the constructions op ho new canal. Bo- Ing caught In a storm the King tried to make Put-ln-Bay, the rcow broke loose and drifted away, but the dredge collided with tho jjfnf>, causing her to sink. She went dowtt In about sixty teet of water and has remained undisturbed. At the time of tho accident the King was owned by W. A Patchln, South'.Toledo, and commanded by Captain John Skeldnn, of Toledo, and tvalued at $8,000. The loss was sottled, nnd the owner ship of Ihe HtVk was looked upon as resting In M. I. Wilcox, this city. About a year since, a diver went down to her, and being eallttlcil she could be raised, tiaiiie to this city and olferprKto' raise her for Mr. Wilcox for the stUn of TC00, but Mr. Wilcox, not willing to Invest iliif amount In what ho considered nlniost worthless property','decllued tlieoffer, 1)iil told the parties they could go ahead and realize wliiit they could out ol the venture. The successful raising is evidence of tho eor (cctness gentlemen's views, and,now they are likely to get about $2,000 for their labor, ns the King does not seem to stand In need ol expensive repairing.
