The Schiller Wreck.
No cargo Of any importance has yet been
recovered from the Schiller. The fisher
men report that the Schiller is firmly set
tied on the rock and win not fall into
deep water. Although it is difficult to sp-
prOach the wreck now there will be many
days in the summer when salvage may be
effected. There was a life belt in every
one Of the Schiller's berths. When the
disaster occurred Capt. Thomas issued
orders that one should be fastened TO every

Fifty Bodies Recovered.
Boats cruising in the vicinity of the
wreck continue to pick up bodies. When
the steamer st. MaTys left the island to-day
nearly fifty had been found. Seven mail
bags, in addition to those reported recOv-
cred, have been saved. They contained
mostly San Francisco and American news
papers.
The Inquest
An inquest was held to-day at St. Marys
on twenty bodies from the steamer Schiller.
II. Hellels, first officer of the Schiller, tes-
titled that when the vessel struck, Captain
Thomas and another officer were on the
bridge. Two men were looking out for
ward, and two others were on the bridge
with the Captain.
The jury rendered a verdict of s'accident-
ally drowned" coupled with a recommend
alton that a telegraph be established be-
tween Bishops lighthouse and the shore.
They express the opinion that if such COM
municatiOn had existed all on board the
Schiller would have been saved. Officers
Killers and Daleman concur in this Opin-
ion.
The remains of Mrs. Hermine West
were buried after the inquest. The
bodies unclaimed were also buried.
The funeral was attended by Dervin
Smith, owner Of the Scilly Islands, the
coroner and members of the jury, and near
ly all the inhabitants Of the island. The
bodies were first numbered, and a careful
record made Of the valuables, marks, etc,
found on each, and then enclosed in sepa-
rate cOffins. Two graves were dug, each
twenty-five feet long, and in these
the collins were placed in two lay
ers. Since the inquest fifty more
bodies have been recovered. The total
number now recovered is nine. The fol-
lowing have been identified: Miss S.
DimOck, Mrs. Clara Just, Mrs. Anna
Eisner, Mrs. Susanne Duckfeld, Mrs. Alt
man, Ars. Augustus Menter, Mrs. Line,

THE French papers have received
an intimation from the Minister Of the
Interior TO abstain from discussing
military matters. Such an order savors
Of a state Of war, when journals are
forbidden to note military movements
lest information be given to the enemy.
1t is not likely, however, that Bismarck
depends on the papers for his infOrma-
ton concerning the military Organiza-
ton Of France.

men from Lucust Gap went to Hickory

understand that if caught at work again

How Uncle Sam Loses Half a Million
Dollars on Jay Cooke.
Sometime ago an Injunction was granted
in the Supreme Court Chambers restraining
the New York Guaranty and Indemnity
Company from removing a large quantity
Of iron rails from the store of Woodruff <
Robinson, the application being made in
behalf of Jay Cooke & Co. and Jay Cooke,
Mccullough & Co. The latter firm
pledged portion Of the iron to the Secre-
tary Of the Navy to pTegent the removal Of
deposits with them as European navy pay
masters, and for a further deposit of
100000 pounds. The Supreme Court to
day decided the case, holding that the
Cooke firms obtained no right to the iron,
but those who actually advanced hemOney
on the faith of the iron stand in the posi-
tion of innocent purchasers and have
right to fOreclose the lien by selling the
iron to reimburse themselves; that the
New York Guaranty and Indemnity Com
pany stand in that position and the in
junction must be vacated as to them; that
the Secretary of the Navy stands in the
same position as to the iron pledged to him
for an advance, and the injunction would be
vacated as to him if it appeared that the ad-
vance had not been repaid, but as TO the
portion pledged to him for money due him
from Cooke, Mccullough & Co., it was not
for money advanced, and he stands in no
better light than that firm.
