THE SKEENA DISASTER.
Distressing Details-Only One Of
the Party Reached Shore.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 14.-Fuller
particulars concerning the drowning
accident on the Skeena river are as
follows: On the goth of February last,
Rev. Arthur Harold Sheldon, and
Mrs. Robert Cunningham, accom-
panied by three Indians, Abel Wesley
and Mark Mckay, of the Kit-zee-lash
tribe, and George Provost of Metlakah-
tia, left Post Essihgton on trip
to Metlakahtla by canoe. When
they reached Point Lambert,
the wind being against the
tide, boisterous sea resulted,
and in falling from a top wave the
canoe split from end to end and filled
with water. The sail being entangled
they were unable to take it down, and
strong gust of wind capsized the
boat. They got on top OF the upturned
canoe and remained there nearly half
an hour. Mrs. Cunningham and
Abel Wesley were washed off by
A GREAT WAVE.
Abel sank rapidly, but Mrs. Cum
ningham floated some time and then
sank. Sheldon held on for time,
but was finally swept off apparently
unconscious. He remained on the
water some time after this with both
hands to his face, drifting little way
from the canoe before he sank.
George Provost became numbed with
the cold and fell into the water and
rapidly sank. Mark Mckay, the sur
vivor, stood on the bottom of the
canoe holding on to a paddle that he
thrust into a split in the bottom. The
canoe floated toward the north bank
of the river. The mast stuck in the
mud and the canoe keeled over near
enough to the shore to allow the In
dian to reach dry land. He then
went six or seven miles to the near
est habitation. Preparations were at
once made to drag the river for the
bodies but though a most diligent
search has been made, only one body,
that Of Abel Wesley, has been found.

as Wagon. Road Grants.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Sec
retary of oftheInterior to-day sent to the
President. for transmission to Con-
gress, the report Of J. B. McNamee re-
lative to land-grant wagon roads in
Oregon. The report shows that grants
OF land were made by Congress in
1864 and 1866 to aid in the construc-
tion of these roads-in all over two
and a half million acres. The re
Port shows that none of these
roads were ever constructed. although
several Governors of the State cer-
tilted to their completion. On these
certificates of the Governors patents
have been issued to these companies
for million acres. Immediately on
securing the certificates of completion
the land grants were sold, with a view
of putting the lands in the hands of
nominally innocent purchasers. One
grant is now claimed by Alexander
WE'LL, a second by the California and
Oregon Land Company of San Fran
cisco, and third by the heirs of Ed
ward Martin, OF San Francisco and
the Eastern Land Company, also OF
San Francisco.
Y PROPOSITIONS FOR REDRESS.
With the reports the Secretary sub
mitted a draft of bill to be present.
ed, to Congress, reporting all of the
said granting acts and declaring for
feited all the rights and titles claimed
Hereunder, and restoring to the pub
lie domain all lands granted, except
ing such as may have been sold to
innocent purchasers who are actual
settlers, to the extent Of one section
to each OF such purchasers. The bill
directs the Attorney-General TO in
stitute suit to cancel all the patents
and certiications under said acts,
with the exceptions stated above.

SHERMAN AND THE TARIFF.

1nasmuch as Senator John Sherman
of Ohio is IL leading Republican states
man, and prominent candidate for
the Presidency, his utterances on the
subject vt the tariff are important. At a
recent banquet Of the Home Market
Club of New York he pronounced for
tariff reform as follows:
''You mny ask me what have to shy
about tariff reform. 1 answer that am
decidedly in favor of tariff reform, and
always have been, aud will always be.
How would reduce surplus2 Ianswer
frankly the tariff ought to be carefully
revised, with view to correct my ine-
qualities or incougruities that have
grown out Of change Of values since
the passuge of the Act of 1883; that
every imported article which does not
compete with our domestic industry and
IL essential to the comfort aud wants of
our people should be placed upon the
free list; that every raw material Of in
dustry which does not compete with Our
own productions should be specially se.
lccted for the free list; that whenever
any industry which can be conducted
IN this country with reasonable success
needs q moderate increase of duty for
1ts protection it should be made
If my Democrat had said rs much he
would be called free trader. And yet
nll sensible men, who know anything
about the question, admit that there
should be changes in the present tariff
law, not in the direction of free trade.
but to the end that existing inequalities
may be removed. Sherman states the
view of the case TINT we have always adj
Vocated. Mr.. Blaine himself in answer
to the Presidents message confessed
that there should he changes made in
the law, going so far as to insist that
tobacco should be relieved of NIL taxes.
We are not in favor of making any luz
ury free. The changes required in the
tariff arc an increase of taxes on the
lu1urics and n corresponding deer, ase
in the necessaries of life. Under the
tariff law MS it stands to-day the neoes.
saries are tuxed high and the luxuries
low. It is rich mans tariff, and
against the poor man. 1t is low duty
for the rich, and high duty for the
poor. The great staples consumed by
the poor people of the land are taxed
from % to 80 per cent. higher than the
articles which find their wy into the
houses Of rich families exclusively. II
s. i'll these particulars that the law
SHOULD be revised. There should be lit
tie meddling with the general average
of the protection afforded, but there arc
a good many kinds in tue Inv which
iould be eliminated. What is cut off
In one place should be put on in an
other, thus preserving and maintaining
tho great American doctrine of protec.
ton, but in a manner that both the
rich and the poor shalt share equally in
its benefits Eureka Sentinel.
