Women and Children Among the
Party Of csstaways.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-Pacific mail
steamer Mariposa, arrived to-day from Sgd
ney, via Auckland to Honolulu Bay. She
reports that May Goth she rescued from Pal
myra lsland,an uninhabited coral reef about
1900 miles north of the Samoan group, the
crew and passengers cf the British bark
Henry James. Capt Latimer, wrecked there
April 10th, bound from New Castle n s
W., to San Francisco. The Henry lanes
struck the reef 80 miles from Paimvra
Among the passengers were several voman
and children. They took to the small boats
and, with what few provisions con,G ho
hastily collected, set sail for the island
When they arrived, few deserted huts wara
found and the women and children mada aS
comfortable as possible. No clothing or
other effects were saved except a pair Of
blankets which were thoroughly drenched.
A few days later, boat in charge of the first
mate with boatswain and three seamen
left the island for Samoa, which was reach
ed IN 19 days. An attempt was made to
board the wreck, which still lay on the reef,
but the vessel was found to be settling and
ltwas impossible to obtain any more proyi-
sions from her. When the small boat reach
ed Samoa, the disaster was reported and a
schooner sent to the rescue of the survivors.
short time afterwards Capt. Hayward of
the steamer Mariposa, while off Tutula, was
notified OF the wreck of the HenrylJames by
the United States steamer Mohican and left
for Palmyra at once. When she arrived
she found the provisions of the party very
low, but they had been able to subsist upon
cocoanuts and few other articles found on
the island. No serious illness occurred. The
rescued people were landed at Honolulu.

Fears Of a MackereI Famine.

The Boston Journal says: "At this time
last year upwards of 5000 barrels Of new
mackerel had been landed, and dealers had a
fair supply Of the old catch on hand. So far
this season not a barrel has come to hand,
and the old stock has all disappeared. The
appearance of small schools inside of Cape
Cod early last week led to the belief that the
fish were schooling in large quantities out
side, but none were brought in and the fact
that the catch in the weirs on the south side
Of the Cape had dropped off shows that the
mackerel have kept away from the coast.
About $50 barrels of fresh were received from
Nova Scotia last week, but the total receipts
from that section this season is only 1917 bar
rels against 1900 barrels for the same time
last year Late dispatches from Halifax, N.
s., report few small catches, and vessel
from Arichat, Cape Breton, reports having
caught Ill barrels, the first Of the season in
that vicinity. The steamer Novelty, which
left Boston on a fishing cruise, telegraphed
from Canso on Thursday asking for mackerel
news. She made adiligent search. but caught
very few fish. The great question now Is,
where have the mackerel gone to? Every
body interested iu the fish trade would like
to have this question answered, and every
scrap Of news bearing upon the subject Is
eagerly sought after.

Denmark pefIed.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 9.-The schoon-
er Minnesota sailed today for Greenland to
engage in the halibut fishing. and others are
expected to follow the coming week. OF re-
cent years about dozen sail of vessels from
here and Beverly have prosecuted the Green
land fishery. and three years ago the last
vessels that went there were ordered away
by Danish war vessel which was patrolling
the coast, and the schooner Herbert NJ. Rog-
ers landed quantity of fish and fishing ar
ticles at Holsenburgh which were confiscat-
ed by the authorities there and the vessel
barely escaped being seized, the cause for
this being that Gloucester fishermen were
accused of carrying liquor and giving it to
the natives The Danish government then
attempted to enforce the treaty that is now
in force between the United States and that
country as well as other countries. and has
issued circular forbidding foreign vessles
to approach the coast on pain of seizure, on
the ground that the safety of the native pop
ulation lies in immunity from contagious dis
eases, and the introduction of intoxicating
liquors among them.

WASHINGTON, June 10-The opinion Seems
to prevail that Capt. Selfridge will be acquit-
ted by the court-martial which has just tried
him for neglect of duty, and is now prepar-
ing its verdict. Naval officers who have
watched the case closely and are acquainted
with the customs observed in the waters in
which the alleged offense was committed, say
that the trial has proved beyond dispute that
Capt. Selfridge took all the usual precautions
to prevent accidents before he ordered target
practice. The testimony, they say, acquits
him of the charge. There are other reasons,
which it is alleged, may influence the ver-
ment has signifed its intention to present a
claim of $250.000 for the death OF its sub
jects who were killed by the unexploded
shell from the Omaha. If Capt. Selfridge is
convicted, the claim will be good one; if
not, it is doubtful whether it would be al
lowed.

Good News for the Widows.

The President has approved the act of
Congress providing that pensions heretofore
or hereafter granted to widows of soldiers of
the war of the Rebellion shall commence at
the date Of the death Of their husbands.
This legislation favorably affects all claims
Of widows of the late war which have been
fled in the Pension Office on or after July /,
1880, and which have been allowed to COM
mence from the date Of the filing their
of such widows as were filed before July /,
1880, and which have been allowed, pensions
having already been granted in those cases
from the date Of their husbands death. The
Commissioner of Pensions gives notice that
in the settlement under this law of claims al
ready allowed, no formal application will be
required, and that the services Of attorneys
will not be necessary. Widows entitled un-
der said law, need only write letter, giving
name, post office address and certificate num-
Der, and the claims will be allowed with as
little delay as practicable.
