ISIT CAPT. KIDD'S SHIP!
A Ship Found Buried in the Hudson
Which Is Thought to Have Been the
pir1fp.S

n snip FOuMO Suflcu III the AauusoA
Which Is Thought to Have Beer, the
Pirates.
The employees Of the wrecking com
pany who have been at work for five
or six weeks at Round island, three
miles above Peekskill, in the Highlands
of the Hudson, searching for the Ven
ture Galley, the vessel which Capt.
Kidd commanded during one of his
piratical cruises, Of Phillipsburg, N. j.,
who owns the island, has a tradition,
handed down from what he considers
a reliable source, that the vessel, while
sailing up the Hudson one dark night
to escape two pursuing British men-of-
war, ran on to the point Of rocks which
mark the eastern shore Of the island.
The position of the island is such us to
suggest an occurrence of that nature.
The company which is working at the
island became satisfied that Mr.
Chapin's tradition had some basis.
They accordingly sent a wre cking YES
sci with all the improved machinery
necessary, and a powerful dredge and
forcepump of enormous capacity.
The work is in charge of Superin-
tendent c. T. Pike and Engineer
Charles P. Tasker They began dredg-
ing thirty feet from the shore, and
scooped out hole one hundred feet
long and forty feet deep. Here they
found the bow of a vessel, whose tim
bers were nearly all rotted away. 1t
lay apparently at an angle Of 40 de-
grees. By removing about forty feet
more Of mud, and going down twenty
feet further, they reached nearly the
centre of wreck. Pieces of spars,
ship timbers, and pieces Of live oak
plank have all been brought to the sur
face by the dredger The company
has two divers on the spot, and they
report that the wreck of a vessel at
least one hundred feet long lies buried
in the mud at stage Of from forty to
sixty feet under the water. Ycster
day the dredge became fastened in
something, and in trying to raise it the
chain was broken. A diver was let
down tifty-tive feet and remained I'M
der the water an hour and a half.
When he came up he reported that
the dredge had become fastened in
what appeared to him to be large
gun, the point Of which was fastened
in the stiff mud. In proof of what he
said he brought up iron scales. which
he prodded off with his sounding iron.
Mr.. Chaplin and Mr.. Pike are quite
sure they have really struck Kidd's YES
sci, the gun seeming to them proof
sufficient. Mr.. Tasker, the engineer,
says the mud is all a deposit, and he
thinks the amount found would readi-
ly accumulate in the time which has
elapsed since Kidd was captured Mud
to the amount Of $4,000 cubic yards has
been removed.

1t flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands
Like some grave mighty thought threading /

Keeping along it their eternal stands,

That roamed through the young world the glor.

Of high Sesostris. and that southern beam
The laughing queen that caught the worlds grca

Then comes mightier silence, stern and strong,
As of a world left empty of its throng,
And the void weighs on lie; and then we wake,
And hear the fruitful stream lapsng along,
'Twixt villages, and think how we shall take
Our own calm journey on for human sake.

Irish Letter: Between Killarney and
Tralee l travelled different times and in
different directions more than 200
miles in jaunting cars The country
is everywhere Of the same wild and
mountainous character. Women
work in the fields at the same hard
toll as the men. 1t is common to see
women with large heavy baskets or
kreels, strapped on their backs, carry
ing turf or seaweed in the fields or stag
gering under the heavy load along the
roads. Boys work, children work;
wherever and whenever there is work
to DO there are eager and willing
hands to do it. At Sneam, be-
tween Kenmare and Cahircaveen,
saw four women, one Of them a comely
girl, carrying gravel in kreels away
down from the shore of the little
stream or river up steep bank, and
throwing it on the road Five hours
work of this kind per day was hard
enough for man, for the steep banks
made the task harder than carrying a
hodful of bricks up to the third story
of New York house. I asked the
women how many hours day they
worked? Twelve" "And how much
do you get?" ''Tenpence day!'-(2O
cents for twelve hours work. sBut
you get your food, too" "No, sir?"
And yet the parasites of English rule
have the cruelty to call these people
lazy!

GALVESTON, Jan. 6.-To-morrow's Ners
will publish the following special from Rio
Grande City:
Rumors Of a revolution In the State of Du-
range, Mexico, have reached here; particulars,
however, are meagre. Some time sinee Gen.
Trevino was ordered from Monterey 10 sup
press the insurrection In that State. News
was received yesterday that he had been de-
taated by the revolutionists and was calling
FOR assistance All available troops at Mon
serey We're sent 70 his old and the government
has been raising troops at Mier by conscrip-
tion for several days. A young Anne, lean
from here was forced into the ranks, despite
hie protest. He succeeded In escaping and
arrived here last night. 1t is the general
opinion that this revolution will be general,
as 1t Is well planned and understood through
out the greater part or Mexico, and will have
gained immense proportions by the first Of
March. The Rio Grande border will be the
scene OF no small part Of this revolt.
