CAPT. CLIFFORD
And Crew Of the Daniel Webster Arrive
at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCIsCO, Oct. =. Whaling schooner
X. b. Hendy, Capt. Winans, arrived yester-
day from the Arctic sea. She brought down
Capt. Clifford and crew of the whaler Daniel
Webster. which was crushed by the ice near
Poin, Barrows. Capt Clifford confirms the
report contained in the cablegram published
by the New York Herald, Sept. 2lst, stating
that the natives had seen the wrecked ship
far to the eastward, and four white men
among the motives. Communication between
Clifford and the natives was carried on by
means of signs and it was difficult to be
understood. From the signs made, these
four men were either dead ii k. as the
natives indicated their condition As being one
of sleep. There is a similarity in the state
ment of the Esquimaux concerning the wreck
and that relative to location of the wreck of
the Vigiant. The number of bodies cores
pond, four dead men having been found
on the Vigilant, but the distance
between the two localities so great as to render
it scarcely possible the two stories apply to
the same vessel. Capt. Winans advances
the theory that the Jeanette" has sought a
northeast passage around North America and
mentions as a thread of evidence leading that
way that the Indians, who reported to Capt
Clifford the wreck to the eastward, produced
a new brass kettle which came from the
wreck. The kettle was new and bright and
just from the store, having the name and
place of the manufacturer which the captain
thinks was Waterbury, Mass, but he lost the
record he had made of it at that time. No
ship had been in that vicinity during the last
two years and it would seem that if these
were articles from ship before that time it
would have been made use of, for soon after
a native brought it to Point Barrow and it
was Immediately utilized.

Absurd Cabinet RumOrs.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune. under date of the Goth, sends
that paper the following;
On Thursday last. at the first meeting of
the Cabinet. every member. beginning with
the Secretary of State. formally rendered his
resignation in writing. The President re-
ceived the papers and said that he was I'M
able at that moment to give proper cousid-
Grafton 20 the questions to which they gave
rise, and therefore requested the Cabinet to
remain, for the present. in charge of their
various departments. On FRIDAY the entire
Cabinet accompanied the remains OF General
Garfield to Cleveland. From that point Mr.
Blaine went Immediately to Maine, by way
of Boston, intending to pass a week at his
home. | am assured that not one member
of the Cabinet has given President Arthur
the most distant in,imation that he desires to
retain his place. They all consider that the
President should be left entirely free to act
in accordance with his own convictions of
duty.
The stories telegraphed from here of the
probable composition of the new cabinet
have no foundation whatever, except the nat
ural coujecturcs set on foot by the Presi-
dents acceptance of the hospitality of Sena-
tor Jones. his close intimacy with Goueral
Grant and the recent visit of Jones TO Conk-
ling. That element of the Office holding and
office seeking society of Washington, which
is commonly called by the name of General
Grant. is greatly encouraged by these incl
dents: but il remains TO be seen whether
they are reckoning upon any certain knowl-
edge of the Presidents intention.
Despite the many rumors-which in some
new form are revived every day-of speedy
changes in the Cabinet, it is authoritatively
stated that no changes whatever will be made
before the session of the Senate, October 10.
All the Cabinet officers have been requested
by President Arthur to retain their portfolios
for the present, and it is believed by those in
position to be well informed upon the sub
3ect that none of the Secretaries will insist
upon Immediate action being taken upon their
fesigoesions The President has expressed .

Mr.. Simeon Tietsell, of Saugerties, N. Y,
has been treated for seven years by various
physicians for what they call Structure of the
Urethra, without benefit. He finally con-
suited Dr. David Kennedy of Rondout, N. Y.
who found his trouble to be Urinary Calculi
or Stones in the Bladder. The doctor at
once removed the foreign bodies with the
knife and then gave his great Blood Specific,
"Favorite Remedy" to prevent their reform
alton. The entire treatment was eminently
successful, and Mr.. Tietsell's recovery was
rapid and perfect.
While ''Favorite Remedy" is specific in
all Kidney and Bladder diseases, it is equally
valuable in cases Of Bilious Disorders, Con-
stipaton of the Bowels, and all the class OF
ills apparently inseparable from the Constitu-
ton of women. Try it. Your druggist has
it, and its cost is only one dollar a bottle.
The lucky man is he who puts this advice in
practice. Don't forget the name and address
DIR. David Kennedy, Rondout, n. Y. The
Doctor would have it understood that, while
he is engaged in the introduction Of his med
icine, 'Favorite Remedy" he still continues
the practice of his profession, but confines
himself exclusively to office practice. He
treats all diseases of a chronic character, and
performs all the minor and capital operations
of surgery. oct3teod&w-tc

CHICAGO. Oct. 2. A special dispatch from
BLOOMINGTON, Ill, gives graphic details OF the
lynching of the convict, Chas. Pierce. last
night. Some of the best citizens were in the
front ranks of the lynchers. Business men
cheered and encouraged the lynchers, and
the women waved their handkerchiefs. For
two hours the sheriff, with all his force, the
police force and other officials, stood at the
jail door and fought and plead with the in
furiated crowd. When the murderer was
raised the first time, officer Bailey imperilled
his life BY running in and cutting the rope,
attempting to repeat this he came near being
killed. The officers called out the fire de-
partment to quell the riot by throwing water
on the crowd, but cries OF ..cut the hose.
cony inced them that that would not do. and
the steamers went back. The ringing of the
fire bell. called out hundreds more and made
things more exciting. Dispatches passed
between Governor Cotton and Lieut.. Gov
ernor Hamilton, and the sheriff was
directed to cali on the militia, but it was
known that the militia could not be assem-
bleJ. Fifer, formerly States attorney, apd
r. b. Porter, State attorney did all in their
power to quiet the mob, promising them that

but their pleadings and promises were hooted
