PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. lily sterday
the fishing schooner Conquest of New Lon
don. arrived with news of the schooner
Henry Woodruff, or of some vessel answer
ing her description. Some time ago the
Woodruff, a very large three-masted
schooner, was fitted out by E. G. Willard
of this city for the bark fishing Some
three weeks ago it was reported that Capt.
Hodgkins had been obliged to shoot one of
his men. 1t is now probable that he was
compelled to shoot three, and that the YES
sci and all on board were finally lost.
'Rum did it, j" tells the story. Soon after
she arrived, little French schooner with
full supply OF liquor put in an appearance
and was visited by the crew of the schooner.
They returned to their vessel drunk, fight
lrg crazy, and with full supply of the
liquor besides. They were at once
INVOLVED IN A ROW
with the captain, refusing to do duty. FL
nally they advanced on the captain to throw
him overheard. The captain made good
resistance. He shot one dead and hit two
others. Other reports say he killed them.
The crew drove the captain below and bat
tened down the matches. They then made
sail and headed for the coast of Cape Race,
and it is believed went down. Besides the
story told by the captain and crew of the
Conquest in regard to the mutiny there is
considerable evidence going to show that
the schooner is lost. Other versions of the
story of the mutiny agree that the captain
was at bay in the cabin when the schooner
was headed towards the land and that three
bodies were sent in procession overheard
after the firing had ceased. The captain
of fishing schooner hailed the murderous
crew and demanded to know where they
were going. ashore, where the captain
can be taken care of; he's crazy" was the
reply. No one seemed to be in command
and all were drunk

men, met for revenge. They went to the Ojo
De Aqua ranch of Davilla and took therefrom
all the animals, utilizing them for service in
their forces. The Fourth infantry lost two
soldiers before they reached Santa Rosalia,
one, it is said, from sunstroke, and the other
was killed by the colonel ''because he was
tired of him." At all points nothing is talked
of but the revolution and all the world is in

form. O'Rourke opened the batting by a
triple, Conner followed and sent O'Rourke

RED WING, Aug. 11.-Hon. A. R. Nc
Gill was in the city Monday interview
ing the prominent Republicans and old
time campaigners with view to securing
their support in getting Goodhue's delega-
ton of eleven votes in the state convention.
He remained here only few hours, but it
was surprising to see how many persons he
was able to shake hands with and button
hole in the time. He will receive the sup
port of the anti Chandler division of the
Republican party probably, for the reason
that the Chandler division is said to be sup
porting Gilman. But it is not certain for
this reason that he will have complete
walkover, if he secures the entire delegation
at all. Your correspondent has it on good
authority that Gilman was here only two
short weeks ago. spending the time from
the afternoon train at $40 until o'clock
interviewing number of his acquaintance
in regard to his chances here. Mr.. McGill
seems very confident, but may find the way
to the governors chair paved very hard
too hard for comfort. A st. Paul morning
paper brought out the rumor that Hon. n
o. Werner and t. X. Simmons had entered
into an alliance with McGill by which. if
the latter two would give the Goodhue
delegation to McGilI he would appoint Mr..
Werner state insurance commissioner.
Mr.. Werner, however, is too true man to
enter into any combination like this, and
the rumor is generally discredited and de-
MED by Mr.. Werner himself.

Seth W. Clark, the recorder of the land
Office. AS Mr.. Clark is presidential ap-
pointee the recommendation will be re-
ferred to the president. The salary of the

the Office for twenty-one years, and has
held his present position since 1875. Gen.
Sparks has had considerable trouble with
Maj. Clark in connection with the sus-
pended patents of the Northwest. Mai.
Clark has never been in sympathy with the
commissioner and has talked back freely.
He is regarded as the friend of gang of
lawyers who, under the Republican COM

pleased. Gen. Sparks thinks he ought to
have a recorder who is above suspicion, and
at least one in harmony with the admins
tration of the office. 1t was by mistake or
collision in Maj. Clark's division that a
batch of suspended patents in the Duluth
land district were issued last fall.
