|tcm PASSENGERS* ¦ The passenger agents ' of the different steamboat lines completed thteir season arrangements yesterday—all except (Chicago and Buffalo. On this route, as usual of Hate years, little or no attention will be paid to ipassenger traffic. Indeed, but few of the propellers between Chicago and Buffalo have passengcer accommodations any more, the boats beimg built exclusively for freight. to iake: supeeiob.

The two new linen of ssteamers between Chicago, Ogdensburg, and Montrreal are not only carrying full cargoes of freight both ways but have made full preparations for a liarge passenger traffic.

All have passenger accommodations—full length cabins. The boats will touch at all ports am the route, including Detroit, Cleveland, and Offlwego. Beside these regular craft, Linsted is running such monster freight carriers as the steamships Northerner, Roanoke, James Davidson, D. C. Whitney, and Wayne between Chicago and Ogdensburg. The Davidson has just left Chicago for Ogdensburg with a cargo of 65,000 bushels of corn. The enlargement of the Welland Canal low admits of the paasjago of Uicse large steamers, The Merchants Line,, managed.at the Chicago I end by Dickinson, Emmire Warehouse, comprises the following: Steamers.

Dickinson calculated to have one boat a wee;k out of Chicago for Montreal. A project is on foot, however, for a running arrangement between the two lines—the two lines to be run as one.'. This would give a boat out of Chicago three tiimes a week. Negotiations are in progress, and ithe plan will probably be adopted. _ ¦¦-- i-----------ihtiihu.J POINTS ON LAKE MICHIGAN.

During the night the steame; Sheboygan, of the Goodrich Line, a,nd tin schooner Mystic came in collision three mules off Grosse Point. The steamer went imto tin schooner stem on. The Mystic's port Haow wTai crushed in like an eggshell, and she iram edlatelJ filled, Furtunately, the weather was still and thq :; Mystic was lumber-loaded. She waterlogget] ] (sunk decks to), but the lumber cargo kept he lalWiat, and, there being no sea on, she did noi Jcapsi/e.

The steambarge Tt'ruesdell, lying at a dock in the draw of Sixteentlh street bridge, was struck by the schooner Elbe/s jibboom and had the after end of her cabin tonn out. The damage is confined to the upper works, but is quite severe. It is a bad place that tine Truesdell is lying in. Last evening the steamship Whitney, partly loaded with grain, amd towing down the river, attempted to pass tiirouigh the draw of Sixteenth street where the Trmesdell was unloading. She was moving at a gootd jog and jammed in between the Truesdell and thie bridge pier, tight and fast. The tug Ward workesd at her for some time, but could not pull her bfack, and the prospect was that the jam would continue all night, keeping the bridge open and dtelaying Chicago. Burlington and Quincy and IUimois Central trains. * ifEsfTE OF THE "WOLMN. The wrecked schooner Wollin was got off the beach north of Evamston early yesterday morning by the tug Williiam L. Ewing, and arrived in Chicago harbor several hours later in tow of the tugs Ewing and A. B. Ward. She floated and that was about alll, her deckload being under water. The cargo is hardwood lumber. The schooner Kate Howaird was let out of the Chicago Company's South Siide dry-dock, and the Wollin was put in. Her injuries are quite severe. prop Celtio, Montreal to Cb.ie*gtt iNiLigLuu, do.

Her hull :On the port bow, is entirely cut through, covering! board broken, etc. She will require a new bow] She is also damaged otherwise. The tugs moored |her near the Fulton elevator, in the North Branchi ni),,r WPAwm to have tugs. Swhcre she was still lyiug last night. ThecargJl large steame:esto have iu' gis all right.

Elevator, about to load graim, waa run into yes terday by the steamship Patcker, of the Lehigh Valley Line, and severely (damaged. She was opened up forward, and a tug; had to be hailed to take her to dry dock. Her1 jibboom was also broken. The Lehigh Valley Line do not employ tags in the harbor at all. Thcere is a city ordinance against vessels hauling; through the draws of bridges; there -should be another compelling huge steamers to employ itugs while moving about the harbor. If there hiad been such an ordinance the harbor jams during the recent freshet might- have been avertted. The schooner Willie Loutit lost her jibboom in collision at the piers ye&terdaiy. The schooners Granger and 0. J. Magill "fouled'.' in the harbor. The lhead-gear of one and the mizzen rigging of the other suffered to some extent. THE OFFICIALS TO BLAME. The collision was an unavoidable one, s a far can be learned. Owing to the fact that tj ere wa: no fog signal on the exterior breakwater, vessel; and steamers arriving and departing in the densi fog used the greatest possible caution. Nnuneron collisions were escaped narrowly by the various craft groping along, but the Sheboygan and the ^ Mystic came together. The wonder is that, others idid not come together. Chicago has an immense :jcommeroe, and hundreds of craft arrive and leave klaily, so' that the lake off the harbor is pretty well crowded all the time. That other collisions will ,pe heard of on this lake and various vessels Jtixanded, there cannot be the ieast doubt. r THE'WATERLOGGED BATES. schooner Evaline Bates, lumber loaded, arrived in port here yesterday from Muskegon, She is leaking badly, and has a steam-pump on board. The pump was obtained from Grand Haven. The vessel is TOjterl^gg^and wa*i towed over. A RTOEil—THE WOT.I.IN. At 7 o'clock last evening the wind freshened into a storm, coming from north northwest to northeast. The stranded schooner Wollin is pretty well up on the beach, but she is well along in years and would suffer from rocking. The tug Ewing did not go to her assistance yesterday, but will probably leave to-day. The ark Powers was due in Chicago again last' night from Ludington. With the wind the fog cleared off and the night drably clear. C OF THE SCHOONER HERCULES. Of the collision between the propeller Clarion, of the Anchor Line, now in port here, and tho schooner Hercules, the Detroit Free Press says: At about 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening (he ipropeller Clarion, bound up, collided with the jschooner Hercules, which was sailing up, and Damaged her to such an extent that she filled and Vent to the bottom at once, giving the crewbarelyj time to save themselves. It was broad dayiigkta the time, and great indignation is manifested b; ¦those who saw the accident against the o ¦charge of the propeller. Two of the Hercules' icrew got aboard the propeller, and were taken ti Port Huron. They state that the captain offerei them good wages with nothing to do if they would' go with him to Milwaukee, but they refused and returned here. The Hercules lies on her starboard side a short distance above the Club House, on the Canada side of. the St. Clair River. The hull is eonrpletely under water, and the topmasts; broken. Her sails are set. The schooner belongs, to J. M. Jones, of this city, and is.i total loss onl; J]___ ;ITT AND PEORIA ASHORE. They have also been having foggy weather on Lake Ontario. The T. R. Merrit, timber-laden, went ashore at Snake Island Wednesday night. She is just between the two buoys, and on pretty hard. She belongs to Captain Neelon, and is not insured.

The Cleveland Herald of Saturday says: "Teste! day afternoon the tug Charles Kellogg returned with the tug Vulcan's raft»and it Is now tied up to the breakwater. One or the crew, Mr. John S. Paganetti, came down on the Kellogg, bringing also the Vulcan's small boat and large hawser, with which she was towing the raft. He left with them for Detroit, on the Detroit boat last e\ ening. Mr. Paganetti says that as soon as the 6 discovered the lire he rushed on deck and gave the alarm. He attempted to go back again to shut off the engine, but the flames had spread by this time, and he was unable to do so. The names spread so rapidly that it was all the crew could do to save the small boat, so necessary to their escape. The bow of the boat is badly scorched, -and the bow rope to tho davits was burned off, so that she had to bo I let down with a rope on one end. Luckily not a | drop of water got into her, and the crew quickly ! found their places in the boat and went to Vermillion, The large rope connecting with the raft; was soon burned through, and the tug, freed of its burden, shot ahead and presented a grand sight, the flames lighting up the neighborhood for miles around. The Vulcan is now at Vermillion, and it is very doubtful if any part of her can be saved. Her engine is m very bad condition, but something may be done with the boiler. The crew lost all their clothing and effects. Mr. Paganetti had but recently purchased two new suits of clothes. There were three or four watches lost, among them a gold one belonging to the captain. The crew were towed here by a tug Thursday evening, and caught the city of Detroit on her up trip." The Detroit Post and 7 . ; "The Vulcan was one of the finest and most powerful tugs on fresh water, and was commanded by an able and experienced officer. She has for years been employed exclusively in raft-towing for her owners, Alger.

The Vulcan was built in Detroit by Campbell & Co., in 1868. She measured-249 tons and rated B 1.
