Nineteen Lives L^st byaTeMbfa MotptosioA of Oil NeAv YOKK, December 27.—Richrhbntl specials say that a quantity of keros&ne tin the steamer pljina between West Point and Baltimore exploded, killing nineteen per sons and destroying the steamer. The bOat Wa3 a new one, and valued at 60,000d019. A later report flays: The boat's cargrj was made up .of miscellanebus Weight, among which were1 Several hundred barrels »f oil, sift Of wliich were gaaoliile. The oil became ignited, the flames spread With such frightful rapidity that there Was no chance of saVing the Vesfiel nor any one on board, Even if they had not been killed by the explosion; Tlit) forwrttd pbi: tisri rjf Ihe decks and a great part of the starboard side were blown out, and there is not a doubt tl'u't all iii the hold or in th,e forward part of the boat we're instantly killed. FOUR HIKN DROWNED. The four men drowned formed four fifths of the gang stowing cotton in the hold, and as soon an this gang heard the explosion and saw the rapid spread of the lire, they) together with a boy assisting them, made for the starboard port, and plunged into the river. JUst then a largo hatch slid oft1 the deck, and railing upon them, disabled four so that they sank at once. The first man saved himself by swimming back to the wharf, while the boy succeeded in getting on the floating hatch, and was rescued by a boat.from the shore. The names of the four men drowned were Jennings, Taylor, Stark, and Tyler.

THEORIES OF THE EXPLOSION,

The cause ot the explosion is as yet a mystery. The passengers on the Richmond and Danville Railroad) which runs its AVest Point line in connection with Haiti more, who arrived to-day from West Point, state that they were utterly Unable to account for the disaster. They Say the only fire oh board was under the boiler which ran the hoisting engine, and the engineer naming it remained at his post arid was unhurt. The holds had been opened nearly two hours when the ex plosion occurred, so the theories of the boiler or confined gas explosion arc done nway with, John Jarvis, the coloured iircman, was in the main boiler cleaning it out. He, of course, had a light, and this was the only light known .to have been on board-. This is the third time the Vessel has undergone the ordeal of lite. It was insured.

THE LOCK-OUT.

(To the Editor.)

SlP,—While sincerely thanking you for the fair amount of criticism which you have shown on the present dispute, I think you have been led into error in one or two mat" ters. In one place you say—" but this pro posal was accompanied by a requirement of some expression of regret to Mr Herbert." Why, sir, the hoot should be on the other foot justly, because of the insane idea of those above Mr Herbert conceiving such a thing as men working 11J hours a day, and secondly at the bouncable manner in which Mr Herbert endeavoured to carry it out. Again, you state that the rate for over • time ruling in the factory had always been " time." Now, here I feel I must begin at the beginning, for, as every one of the men know, the company have endeavoured to trade on the generosity of the men. Some two or three weeks before Christmas, when orders were pressing hard on the company, the mon were requested to work until 8 "o'clock each evening. They did so almost without a murmur, naturally thinking that it would end on die begin ning of the Christmas holidays ; and so it did uatil that black Thursday (January 26) when was issued that autocratic order, " I wish the men to work overtime until further notice, the overtime to commence on the following day (Friday.!" The effect of that notice on the men was electrical, as when the whistle blew at 5 o'clock, they put on their clothes and silently but sternly left the mill. It was but another illustration of the old adage, you may tread on a worm, &c. The next day (Saturday) Mr Herbert issued another notice stating that he wished to meet tho men after receiving their wages, to hear an explanation why they left the mill at five 5 o'clock, contrary to his wishes. They met him and told him in most respectful language that they did not want to work oyer-tlme, but if they did so they would expect time-and-a-quarter for it. Monday was a holiday (Regatta Day), then came Tuesday, the men worked until 12 o'clock, and the whistle blew for lunch, and after lunch time Mr Hotberfc addressed the men, but in such a manner that no man ivith a drop of British blood in him could toleiate it, and the result was that the hands there and then put on their clothes and left the mill. The rest is known to the public, and the generous manner in which tho various trade societies are behav iug to the lock-outs, and also the practical sympathy shewn by the i;eneral public, proves, if proof were wanted, that there is no doubt (there can ho no doubt) but that justice is entirely on their side; and when the band of meu'who are carrying on this struggle are passed away and forgotten the future historian of New Zealand in narrating tke past events of colpnial life will fail in his duty if he omits to descant on the struggle made by the employes of the Union Sash and Door Company in up holding a principle not alone for themselves but for every working man thronghout the colony, I enclose my address. —I am, &c, Fair Play.

" Sawdust Boy " writes dissenting from the opinion that "In the nature of thiDga I the capitalist can in moat cases beat the labourer at the 'striking' game, even when the latter has a large accumulated fund to fall back upon." He says: " The great engineers' strike for the nine-hours' system in England completely broke down ihe strongest combination of masters and employers that was ever known in the world, who asserted then, and have maintained since, that the question was to them one of vital importance, and the pecuniary stake immense." He says with regard to the ticket system: " I cannot see what objection a workman of reeular habits can have. It may come a little hard upon those few who are always to be found in every large concern habitually a few minutes behind time, and whare perhaps the greatest annoyance to be ound in a well-manaaed concern, and as discipline must be strictly enforced either by the 'Hioket' or some other effective system. ThflatterVt of your article strikesi he right key, and the good sense of all parties concerned will no doubt soon put matters on a right footing."

The chairman [suggested the postpone ment of the matter, in doing so he ex pressed [himself as dissatisfied with the management of the cricket ground by the trustees. During the late match he bad been surprised and displeased to see the pavilion, instead of being reserved for ladies, crowded with larrikins. Mr Buckland threw the blame upon Mr Conway, who had the entire control of the arrangements during the recent match. Besides the pavilion had .been put up for the convenience of the cricketers, and not for the use of the public. Mr Clark thought that the pavilion ■would never be reserved irom the lar rikin element until a aeperate charge was made for admission to it. The matter was then deferred tor further consideration.
