BOUTWELL, INTERvIED
On the Phelps Dodge Csse-His Advice to
Dodge.


Dodge.
NEw YORK, December -; The Wash
iugton correspondent OF the Ereniny
Pnst has had an interview with MIR.
Boutwell,, ex-Secretary OF the Treasury,
in relation to the Phelps Dodge case,
reopenei by the Conkling Bayard cor
respondeuce. Mr.. Boutwell, says the
first intimation he had that Dodge & Co
had been charged with violation OF the
revenue laws was from William l..
Dodge himself, who came 10 my rooms
on a day when / was too i'll to good TO
the treasury, andimformed me that his
house had been charged with violation
Of these laws. He said ii there had
il was due to ignorance and
not to an intention to derraud the Gov
ernment. He added that the charge
was verv unpleasant for the firm, and
his family and he wished to make set
tlement without publicity. l told him
that was impossible, and II possible
would be very unwise; that any secrets
in the Treasury were temporary, that
the results were matter of record and
open to inspection by Congress and the
officers Of the Government. Moreover.
according to his own story, there were
three persons in New York outside OF
his own firm who had knowledge o! the
charge, and that secrecy under these
circumstances was impossible, and that
any attempt at secrecy would only fasten
on his firm an irredeemable stain. i then
said TO him that ii the failure to pay the
legal duties had sprung from Ignorance,
his true course was TO try the case in
court and il the fact was established the
judge would certify to that. While
there had been technical violation OF
laws no intention OF fraud appeared, and
that upon such showing under the
statute provided the Secretary OF the
Treasury hal power, and 1t was his
duty To remit the personalities that the
firm would have to pay the duties anu
pass through q disagreeable ordeal, but
in tine end would be absolved from all
lust grounds Of censure. Mr.. Dodge
left me without saving what he
should do, hut with an impress
sion on nv mind thst le
would follow the course suggested in
Nav and at that time | had no doubt OF
their innocence. Not many days, how
ever, before efforts for settlement were
begun. There never was any check paid
TO me, and had nothing whatever todo
personally with the collection of mon.
ey. or its distribution. The firm never
signed q paper eonfessing thsir guilt
aud the only foundation for such a
statement lies probably in the fact that
refused to accept the original PROPOSE
ton for a settlement in which they as
serted their innocence. but agreed to
paw the amount claimed as due by the
officers in New York, but as % duties
and penalties this proposition was re-
iected on the ground that the assertion
of Innocence was inconsistent with the
payment of money.

HORRORS OF tbs DEEP.
Vessel wrecked-All Saved but Two OF
Crew.

New YoEK, December 23.-The
steamer Edith Golden, from Monteso
Bay, reports that on December 10th tine
bark Fontabkila, Capt. Nixon, left Fol
mouth, Jamaica, for London with a
cargo. Of rum, logwood, etc. As she
cleared the port reef the wind died
away and a strong sea current set her
towards the reef, three miles to leeward,
and within a quarter OF mile OF which
the Fontabella let 20 her anchor. Hear
ing of the perilous position OF the res'
sci. Capts TIopewell, OF the bark
Medina, and Wooley, of the bark Dun
dee, and Deiries, pilot and harbor' master,
went on board to afford assistance.
Three other anchors were let 20. At
about 7r. NJ. the wind set in from the
north with heavy sea and the vessel
dragged her four anchors and was driven
on the reef Capts. Nixon, liopewell
and Mooley and Mrs. Nixon and crew
were all washed into the raging sea.
Mrs. Nixon, having life preserver on,
with her son and Mr.. Martin, the mate.
were saved, but the Others named per-
ished. The seamen lost were Canton

SECRETARY SHERMAN'S
Chances for the Ohio Senatorship are
Growing Less.

Growing Less.
CoLuMHrs, o., December 23.-The
Democratic scheme 10 beat Secretary
Sherman out of the Senatorship, has
called forth considerable comment. Very
many are inclined To take the story with
a grain OF salt, but that does not 20 to
disprOv. it. Ii was urged 10y some thai.
the Democrats would not attempt a
combination on Senator Rowland. for
one very particular reason, which Is
well understood, and therefore the
whole thing must be onl y a fancy sketch.
This is urged by Democrats, especially.
II is quite likely that in the event ol
any Organized effort to beat Secretary
sherman is made, Senator Rowland will
no, be picked out by the combination as
their man 10 pit against the great Secre-
tarv. In fact, the Democrats are not at
all particular who he may be 80 long as
they can defeat sherman; but this much
is certain, one OF the most prominent
Republicans who are disahected towards
Secretary Sherman. not member
of the Legislature, wrote q letter,
which Was received by prom.
inent gentleman here to LAY,
urging that everybody opposed to Sher.
man should concentrate on Hon. sam
Sheliabarger az the most available man
for them to fight Sherman with. He
urged that Shellabsrger is practically
out OF politics now, although he has an
ambition for the Senate, which il is al
most certain he will never he able TO
CRAFTY in any other way, and he might
be willing to make the fight and take
the chances OF being politically deal
ever: after ii he is given satisfactory as-
surance TIA. he vii. have one term in
the Senate.
