commended" In the place OF settipg g new

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Regarding State Debts, by the United
States Court, at Boston.

BosToN, September A decision OF
the utmost Importance was made to-day
by the United States Court concerning
State debts. Judge Bond holds, first, that
the tender of coupons for taxes
is a legal tender, and that all
consequences will flow from any other
legal tender from this, and that this is the
effect of the Supreme Court decision; Sec
ond, that officers of State will be en-
joined from levying on taxpayers
property after the tender Of
coupons; third, that as the questions IN
these suits depend upon the constitu
tionality of the States legislation, the suits
arise under the constitution, and the
Circuit Courts of the United States
have jurisdiction of them without
regard to the citizenship of parties. ii the
decision stands, it would seem that the
State can collect no more revenue till she

French Outrage ON English Fishing Yes


ST. JOHN, n. F., September Admiral
CommereH, of the British flagship North
ampton, to-day investigated serious out
rage perpetrated on four British vessels by
French fishermen, headed by shore cap
tain at Cape Onions, on the northeast
coast of Newfoundland Early in August
the British fishing vessels came to anchor
age at Cape Onions for cod fishing. As
soon as they launched skiff a number of
Frenchmen ordered them to weigh anchor
and quit. They refused, whereupon the
Frenchmen commenced to unbind their
sails, seized their oars and carried them to
shore. Having stripped the vessels, they
next boarded the schooner Comet. Capt.
Aylward showed fight, delivering some
lusty blows on the Frenchmen and put
ting them TO flight. The assistants then
turned on Capt Alyward and his crew
with boat hooks and gaffs, and severely
maltreated them. They then stripped his
vessel. Two days after French war
cruiser arrived, and after some inquiry re-
stored the sails and gear to the vessels,
but ordered them TO quit the harbor. Ali
four vessels retired under protest. The
people of Newfoundland are indignant
at this violent outrage, and it is not un-
likely TO lead to international complica-
tiOns

HAZING CADETS.
Testimony Before the Naval Court.
Martial.

ANNAPoLIs, IND, September 4.-The
naval couTt-martial resumed this morning
the trial of Cadet T.. =. Bentholf.
Naval Cadet Henry C. Rogers, of the
fourth class, testified that the accused re-
quired him on or about the 30th of July to
turn out of his hammock after Q o'clock
pm. and stand on his head. He did not
know that his presence intimidated him,
but expected it did.
Naval-Cadet George w. Galloway, of
the fourth class, testified that the accused
never required him to turn out of his
hammock ON the 30th OF July after 8
o'clock pm. and stand on his head; he
was present. 81 was in my night-shirt
and drawers. The presence of the accused
did not tend to intimidate me. | did not
regard the accused us forming one of the
party of hazers. / turned out of my ham
mock because Trapnell ordered me. If
had been ordered to turn out of my ham,
mock in a similar manner by one of my
ella 's-mates, would not have done it. /
regard Bentholf as not being one of the
hazcrs. lie had nothing to say about my
turning out. | know OF no reason why
the accused was present at this particular
haZing except as a witness"
Naval-Cadet +. Furrell, OF the fourth
class, testified that he did not think the
accused made him stand on his head for
the purpose OF making HIM expose his
person. He saw no reason to object to
standing on his head. He was not'intim-
idated. The order was not given in a per-
emptory manner. He was obliged to do
it, but did it as a matter of fun. We were
all laughing. 1t would have depended
upon circumstances whether or not he
would have. stood upon his head for
amusement, and for one of his own class.
Question by President-Under all the
circumstances of that hazing OF that night,
would you have turned out and attempted
10 have stood on YOUR head at the order of
one or more OF your classmates?
The question was evidently trying
one to the witness. He answered, after
some effort, that there had been consider
able skylarking that night among the
classes not intermixing, and 81 cant say
whether ! would or not have turned out
and stood on my head at the order of one
of my class. / did not then regard the
matter as hazing, but mere continuation
of the fun"
Naval Cadet Fred. G. Moore, of the
fourth class, testified about the same.
He regarded the presence of the accused
us witness to the transaction.
After some further testimony the court
was cleared for deliberation. Cadets p.
Andrews and +. T. Witherspoon were, ac-
1 quilted. The cadets received the con-
| gratulations of their fellow cadets, and
| were very happy.

The Storm on the Banks of NewfOund.
InIl-

ST. JoHNs, n. F., September dis
patches received from st. Pierre, giving
fresher intelligence of disasters on the
Grand Banks from the cyclone on Sunday
August 10Th, and the storm Thursday, are
as follows: Between forty-five and fifty of
the French banking fleet arrived in the
roads at st. Pierre in shattered condition.
Their cable-chains, anchors, dories and
lines were all swept away. The loss of
life is very great. One banker, owned by
Jacquet Ives, lost six men; Hardy's bank
er six, Nincent's six, Leoni Costi's four,
and the remainder of the fleet, with few
exceptions, two or three each. Nourdan' s
banker foundered and sank; the crew was
saved. Over thirty vessels are missing,
and grave apprehensions are entertained.
The storms were the worst events ever
known on the banks. Neither gave any
warning, but broke furiously upon the
fleet, when most OF the dories were away
from the ships overhauling and setting
travis. Not more than half an hour had
elapsed from the first indication before the
gale and sea had reached their greatest
violence. The Gloucester schooner w. q.

ments owned by the different mills. Some
mill fats rent for s. a month; board, So

average wages of operators are about 50
per week. The tenements of the Slade
Mills appeared to be the worst of all. One
operative showed the committee deep
cesspool under his house, the odor from
which was bad. The houses of the Chase
Mills were found little better. One French
Canadian said he could live better here
than in Canada. There he could only get
meat once in while; here he had il

condition of operatives in England was
