Shelter at Little Island the Phantom
Which May Lead BIN to His Doom
Fear of Censure Prompted the Can

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The session of
the Proteus Court of Inquiry to-day was
brief one. Captain Pike occupied the
witness chair to hear his testimony of
yesterday read, and upon its conclusion
made one or two additional statements
explanatory of his testimony, but de-
veloping nothing new or important 1t
is not known whether any more witnesses
will be called. Two or three dispositions
are expected from persons at a distance,
when it is probable that the inquiry will
come to an end. Lieutenant Garlington's
counsel has asked permission to make an
argument before the court and has been
told that every facility will be granted
him.
CAPT. PIKE INTERVIEWED.
ArepOrter of the Associated Press asked
Capt. Pike this afternoon what he thought
Of Lieut.. Greely's chances of maintaining
himself during the winter. He said that
he thought it probable that Greedy could
keep himself in food. "But," ne added,

''No chance ofsending sledge parties up

''No; they can't sledge at all through

LIFE ON OCEAN, LAKE AND RIVER
Captain Scott Depicts His Thrilling Ex-
perience In a Hurricane.

OPORTo, Dec. 2S.-Captain Scott, who
commanded the Belgian steamer Plantyn,
which was wrecked while on her way
from New York to Antwerp, and who was
one of the fifty-three men rescued from
the steamer, and landed here by the brig
G. d. T., gives the following account of
the disaster
son November II in latitude A degrees
and IL minutes north, and longitude AZ
degrees and 20 minutes west, a hur-
ricane carried away the poop deck
bridge, engine room skylight and the
main deck from the poop deck to the en-
CINE room, leaving only the iron work in
tact. 1t also brought down one of the
masts, which, i'll its fall, smashed five life
boats and few pinnaces. The water
gained upon the engine room, quenched
the fires and filled the hold. Four sailors
and one passenger perished at this time.
DR.. Traysser, the Plantyn's physician,
and four sailors were injured, and one of
the latter died. Four hundred and sixty
tons of the cargo were jettisoned in efforts
to relieve the vessel. Several steam
was undergoing her terrible
trial, but paid no attention to her signals
of distress. The crew worked at the
pumps and bailed water night and day,
thus keeping the ship afioat until Decem-
Der ., when the British brig q. d. T., from
Pasbepiac, hove in sight and rescued the
passengers and crew. Two of the men
were afterwards transferred to another
vessel, and the rest were landed at
OpOrto.''
THE STEAMER CELTIC.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The New York
agent of the White Star Line steamship
TaI, fAfk L.. 4
for Liverpool, and has not yet reached
Queenstown, says that the vessel was due
at the latter port Monday morning, and
that the probable cause of her detention
is an accident to her machinery. He feels
no anXiOuSneSS as to her safety. Five
years ago she broke down at sea and pro-
ceeded under sail, reaching a speed of
thirteen knots, but this rate cannot be
expected now, as the winds are unfavora-
bic for east-bound vessels. He further
says that the Celtic may have picked up a
wreck and is proceeding slowly with it in
tow.
SCHOONER DRIVEN ASHORE
SANDY Hook. n. j., Dec. 28.-The
schooner Kate Clifford, coal laden, from
Baltimore for Bridgeport, dragged anchors

and there is four feet of water in her hold.
The vessel is in dangerous position but
the wind is moderating. The crew will
remain on board until this afternoon.

lows: The parties who are principally in

told by one of them, an English lady
named Mrs. Thomas Kay. 1t seems that
number of years ago the family OF
whom Mrs. Kay is a member came over
from London, England, to this country.
Three years ago Mrs. Kay's mother died
at the advanced age of So years, and the
room the old lady occupied was not dis
turbed alter her death for long time.
HAVING occasion last August to 20 to Il

other articles stored away, Mrs. kav

pocketbOOk combined, in which were re-
cords kept by that lady's great-grand-
lather as far back as the year 1745, and in
II a marriage certificate of the same date.
Ihlnklng, perhaps, the book was of value,

to be note for 9265, made in New York
III llS3, just century ago, to be paid by
a London merchant named Wilhelm Bou-
lette to William GOderich, the great
grandfather of Mrs. Kay. The note was
duly indorsed, and being shown to several
parties it was declared genuine. Dave
Neuman, the express agent livingin Sagi-
nav City, who is a sOn-in-law of Mrs.
Kay, was given the note for safe-keeping,

sent to London making inquiry for the re
latiyes of the maker of the note, but moth
ing has been received in reply, and one Or
two letters have been returned. The
original sum, 9265, will, with interest and
compound interest, by this time amount

Measures of Relief.


Measures of Relief.
BERLIN, April 14.-Ln the Reichstag
yesterday Herr SchOlz, Minister of FL
nance, read an imperial message. In it
the Emperor says that he has always be-
lieved that it was his duty to devote some
sOlicitude for the condition of the working g
classes, as was displayed by the Prus-
sian Kings when the Socialist laws
were promulgated. The Emperor express
ed his conviction that legislation should
not be restricted to police and penal
measures, but should benefit the working
men. Tho abolition of the class tax
was the first step towards benefiting
them. The Emperor is anxious in regard
to the passage of the insurance bill, as its
failure, he thinks, would hopelessly
destroy any chance of passing the sick
poor bill at the next session. The budget
for 1884 and 1885 would therefore be now
submitted in order to give the next ses-
sion opportunity to consider the social
condition of the people.
The EmperOr's message was a surprise
to the Reichstag. The Progressive party
propose to discuss the issues which it
brings up, while the Liberals are as yet
uncertain what attitude they will take.
The Right Centre, on tho other hand, pro-
test against any debate thereon.
BERLIN, April I0.-IC is reported JnaJ
the Liberal members OF the Reichstag
propose to present an address in reply to
the EmperOr's message, which was read
in the Reichstag on Friday.
The Liberal journals are dissatisfied with
the message, declaring that its criticisms
are directed against Prince Bismarck. The
VoSSiScbe Zeitung says that the messag
is a clever eXpedient to effect a dissOlu-
tiOn of the -Reichstag, which will nOw-b (

What Was Told the Hungarian Depu-
ties About the Triple Alliance.
PESTH, April I4.-1n the Chamber of
Deputies to-day Herr Tissea, in alluding
to the gratuitous interpretations offered
of Signor Mancenis' speech in the Italian
Senate, said that he supposed the people
were in need of sensations, and hence the
reports of foreign alliances. Sig
nor Mancenis had mentioned no agree
ment or alliance to act against
France. or any intent to guarantee the
respective territory of the three countries.
There would have been no sense in Aus
tria joining such combination, which
would imply hostility toward France,
with whom it was the desire of the empire
to remain on friendly footing. In con-
clusiOn, he said that the statement made
in 1882 by Count Kalnsky, the Austrian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, that Italy
had joined in the conservative foreign
policy of Austria and Germany to pre-
serve the peace of Europe, still holds
good.
VIENNA, April 14.-The Fretndenblatt,
the organ of the Foreign Office, in an ar
ticle in reference to the speech of Signor
Mancenis, the Italian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, made in the Senate at Rome re-
Gently relative to the triple alliance,
mentions the agreement between the
three powers as a league of peace. Ita-
ly, the Freindenbldtt says, is promised
the energetic assistance of Germany and
Austria to defend her national honor and
protect her maritime interests.

Melton yesterday telegraphed to Attorney
General Brewster, recommending that the
South Carolina election cases, which are
set for trial on Tuesday before Judges
Bond and Bryan, be continued until the

Attorney General Brewster telegraphed
Judge Bond, who is now in Richmond,

toms suggestion.
Judge Bond in reply disapprOved of
holding a special term of court for the
trial of the cases, and recommended that
they be continued until the next term of

vember.
The Attorney General thereupOn tele-
graphed Mr.. Melton, giving Judge Bonds
views, and recommended that the cases
be continued until November.
Mr.. Melton, however, is not satisfied
with this arrangement, and says that the
pOstpOnement of them depends upon the
result of a conference between Judge
Bond and himself upon the formers ar
rival here tomorrow. Mr.. Melton says
that he will not consent to having the
cases deferred until the regular term, as

less Judge Bond comes to some satisfac-
tory arrangement with him as to when
the cases will be tried he will insist upon
