!51tcial Dtsnesca to The Tribune.
MILWAUKEE, March 22.-Aneus Smith has
made arrangements with the owners OF the schr
Guido Pister for the delivery Of the cargo of
that vessel, which she has held all winter at
Grand Haven. Freight 12<c per bu. The schr
Alice B. Norris, chartered yesterday, bent most
Of her canvas to-day. An effort will be made
by these craft to secure return cargoes OF lum-
Der, either for this port or Chicago. There is
thu best Of authority for the statement that the
present movement Of wheat to Grand Haven has
no bearing upon my corner that may exiest
in the wheat market. Mr.. Smith is preparing
to build new elevator, and for the purpose OF
making room must shift the storehouse known
as Elevator E. To do this will require the
shipment OF the grain now stored in the house,
about 240,0O0 hu. As tonnage is scarce, and
vessels ask high figure to come hisher from
Chicago for cargocs, MIR. Smith conceived the
idea Of forwarding portion Of the wheat now
stored on vessels here and controlled By him
with the view Of loading them again on going
rate terms Immediately after their return from
Grand Haven. Thus it will be seen that build
ing project, and not corner, governs the
movement.
Seamen's wages arc not vet fixed Vessels
now in commission hire sailors by the trip,
Those under charter to deliver cargoes at Grand
Haven, at SIS for the round trip passage, ill.,
cluding the loading OF lumber, If necessary.
The equinoctial storm wound up with fall
OF four inches Of snow during the night and
early morning hours. As the eQutnoctlal this
spring came from the northeast, according to
the accepted theory all Of Our storm winds, in
fact the prevailing wnds, will como from that
direction for the next ninety days.
The Goodrich sidewheel steamers Sheboygan
and Chicago will go into commission on OF
about the 1st Of April

CLEVELAND, O., March o2.-Thc dangers Of
navigation at this early season have been we'll
illustrated III the case OF the barge G. A. Gil
more. belonging to Sprankle, Morse & Co., Of
this city. THIS boat started from Black River
on the noon OF the Goth inst. to come to the
city with 4 cargo Of wheat valued at 1900
Not arriving as she ought the next day, much
apprehension was felt by the owners for her
safety, and the tug Bowling was sent out in
search of her. Night came on, and the tug,
not provided with lights, driftcd about till
morning lu the lake. In the morning she found
herself opposite Avon Point, and put for the CITY,
Still the Gilmore had not been heard from, and
much anxiety was felt. To-day at noon Spran-
kIc, Morse, tnCo. received 4 telegram that she
had returned to Black River. 1t seems that the
master, on finding he could not make CIeye-
land, turned, back, and had much difficulty in
getting into port. There will be no more at
tempts of the kind made here until late enough
to get insurance.

1t is not my purpose or desire to modify
any single position which took during my
connection with the trial Of Dir. John L.
PoindeXter. / desire, however, that my
positions should not be misunderstood.
1st. Mr.. Commonwcalth's Attorney
George D. Wise said in bis concluding
speech that | had said that would not con-
demn any man who should take a liberty
with 4 lady who would permit it.
Mr.. Wise wholly misunderstood me when
lie thought that | said this. I did not, that
l know OF, say this, or anything like it. II
I said anything that could bear this con-
struction used language that did not ex-
press the idea that was in my mind.
I'd. The excellent reporter for the State
reports me Saturday evening as intending
to apply the name NJ Sairy Camps to all
those who condemned the whipping and
shooting OF Curtis.
My friend Of the State also misunderstood
me. I have never intended to say that all
those who condemned the whipping and
shooting OF Curtis were Sairy Camps. L
intended to say, and think did say, that
the Sairy Camps OF society had been at the
business OF deiiying the deceased and ma
ligning the accused.
