On sccount of the great wisdom

had gill-edged securities, but they
failed, the Governments wise policy
Notwithstanding. II Uncle Sam is al
lowed full sway on this line all Sum-
mer, these failures will cease without
any sort Of doubt. The business firms
will cease trying to do anything, and
people who are not making an effsrt
can't fail. 1t is the great superabund.
ance Of money that is stirring up oil
the troubles. But what do we care
about 1t? The ) crGt4ry of the Treas

country on earth, and that silver is not
good enough for the bond-holders, who
bought bonds forty per cent. below

all right. But just a. q satisfaction to

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 26-The Secretary
Of the Treasury has received the report
Of Walter Walton, Assistant Secretary
of the Lite Saving Service, who was
ordered TO investigate the circum-
stances connected with the recent
wreck Of the Huron, with especial
force to Life Saving Station No. 7.
The report contains testimony mostly
of those who witnessed the wreck
from the shore. 1t is particularly Sc
we're on a fisherman OF Nag's Head,
named Evan O'Neal, who was the first
10 see the wreck. AT ! 80 o'clock am.
he was ont hunting wild fowl, and saw
the vessel before she struck; saw her
strand, and heard the screams of those
on board, and yet neglected to give
warning 10 the Life Saving Station,
He had good boat, the w,ld was In
his favor, and the water 10 Roanoke
Island was comparatively smooth, and
he could have given information IN
twenty minutes, as the distance was
only two miles and a half away. He,
however, went home and ate his break
fast, and did not return 10 the wreck
until 7 o'clock. Lieutenant Walton
thinks that had the Life Saving Sta.
tion been in operation, or had the
keeper Of the Station received timely
warning, nearly, II not all, on board
the Huron could have been saved
The bodies Of those that perished were
robbed as they we're washed ashore
and out of ninety-one bodies, Twelve
of which were officers, not q
single trinket such as would be
treasured as a relic by their
relatives, remained. Watches, money,
and even rings, we're stripped by those
who first found the bodies. Lieutenant
Walton says that such actions as these
together with the inhuman conduct Of
Evan O'Neal, have cast a stigma and
reproach upon the inhabitants residing
on The beach along the coast, from Cape
Henry TO Cape HaLterss. The report
relieves the members the Life Saving
Steamer from any blame.
