The brig Palo Alto at this port brought
Frederick Hoffman and three sailors of
the brig Helen e.. Rich, lost Septem-
her 25th on Damas Key. off the coast of
Cuba. Hoffman states that six days
after the Rich went ashore he observed
poles standing out from the rocks on a
key two miles away and with some of the
sailors rowed to the spot and discovered
the hull OF an iron vessel nearly sub.
merged. Near their landing place in a
rough circular structure built of stones
they found two unrecognizabie decom-
posed bodies of seamen, in another hut
third body was found and on the op-
posite side of the principal hut was
found third shelter in which was still
another body in recumbent position,

CHICAGO, Nov. "a Washington spe-
cial says it is now certain that three
topics at least will be largely dwelt upon
by the President in his coming message
to Congress. These three topics will
embrace the public school question. the
finances and the condition of affairs
in Cuba. Senator Morton, who has been
in the city for the last week or so, is res-
ponsible in large degree for the Presi-
dent assuming position upon the school
question in the coming message. He
has been persuading the President that
he must assume the position of Gladstone
in England and Bismarck in Germany
and come out against the growing de-
mands of Catholicism. There is but one
thing to be said about the Presidents
Cuban policy, and this can be said by
the highest authority; he will not talk of
war or the possibility of war in his mes.
sage, but will urge strongly the justice Of
recognizing the rights of the belligerent
Cubans. He has made up his mind that
he will carry his point in this regard
with the aid of Congress, if he can, and
If not without its aid. In the absence of
Congress the Constitution gives him
power to act. He proposes, however, to
give Congress one more opportunity to
take the responsibility on its shoulders.
Upon the financial subject the President
will endeavor to show by the late cleo
tons that the Republican party is the
only party that believes in sound cur
rency, and therefore the only one with
which it is safe to trust the affairs of the
country On these three points ad-
vanced, the anti Catholic, the advocacy
OF rights to the oppressed 10 Cuba and
'he championship OF sound currency,
the President hopes to reach position
OF popularity that will cause the people
to forget the many sins of that admins
lration which have been charged up
against him during the years of his
reign. Standing upon the platform
given above he is certainly the strongest
man in his party The talk of a third
term was never stronger than it is now
among inen whose positions make their
opinions worthy of attention. The an
nual message which is now in prepare
ton under advice and assistance from
Senator Morton is being shaped upon
the idea that Grant is tho only man who
can save the party and consequently the
country.
CHICAGO, Nov. .. - Nearly oil the
whisky distillers in Chicago have been
indicted and brought into the United
States District Court to give bail for
their appearance from day to day. The
cause OF this stretching out OF the
arm OF the law is the alleged
Wholesale frauds which have been perpe-
trated on the Government by these man

seventy five indictments have been found
by the United States Grand Jury, which
Is still at work. In the list of alleged
criminals are distillers, rectifiers, eauR-
ers and storekeepers. The evidence
against these men has been prepared,
and is supposed to be of direct and
positive character. The indictments
show that the Government has been de.

Great interest was centered in the United
States Courtroom, which was filed by
