liSnuled Dutiek.

WASHINGTON, January 27.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-day
delivered an opinion in the customs suit
of Robertson, Collector of the Port of New
York, vs. Perkins, an importer. Suit
was brought to determine the rate of
duty on crop ends of Bessemer steel rails.
Of As per cent on the importation under the
tariff provision of steel, not especially
enumerated or provided for. The Court
concurs in this. The importer contends
that "crop ends" were dutiable at only
20 per cent. as "unwrought metal" and
not fit for use unless remelted.

CHICAGO. July l2.-At Louisville last
night an Associated Press reporter Joined
Muldoon, Cleary and "Parson" Davies,
of Chicago, and others of the Sullivan
party who escaped arrest at Nashville
yesterday, and came with them to Chicago.
They reached here at I o o'clock thus morn
ing. At the outskirts OF the city they
left the train, took a carriage across the
southern end Of the city and took an out
going lrain for the east in order to avoid
any chance OF arrest. Muldoon escaped
arrest at Nashville by playing virtuously
indignant; he declared to policemen he
was no prize fighter and declaring he was
a gentleman. Muldoon says kilrain was
ov ertrained and at least ten pounds too
light.
John IL Sullivan and Charlie johnson
reached Chicago at IL O'Clock. They left
the train at Twenty second street and dis
appeared. No one at the sporting resorts
of the city know his whereabouts. 1t is
supposed they have taken a train for the
east or are in hiding here.
CHICAGO, July l2.-Snllivan remained
in Chicago to night and arranged to leave
for New York to morrow at 9 n. M, by
the Grand Trunk. The route chosen will
take him through Canada and is the road
furtherest possible from hostile Ohio.
He kept himself secluded from observa-
ton as much as possible, but managed to
visit three or four places where he could
enjoy himself thoroughly in private.

The ParneiI Commission.

LONDON. July l2.-Before the Parnell
commission to-day counsel for the Par
n%ellIles asked Soames, solicitor for
the Times, to produce a list of pay
ments made to witnesses ON behalf of the
Times, and all communications between
himself and the Times agents in Amer
lea and Ireland. Attorney General Webs
ter declined to allow Soames 10 produce
the communications. Soames was then
recalled. He testified he had not made
out a list of payments to witnesses; there
was no definite arrangement as to how
witness should pay LeCaron. Several
payments had been made to him. Nc
Donald, manager of the Times, said it
was understood LeCaron was to be pro.
vided for. He had lost his employment
in the government service, and SO long as
he needed it he was TO receive assistance.
Houston. secretary of the Loyal and
Patriotic Union, testified that the articles
on "Parnellism and Crime" published
by the Times were an elaborate reprint
OF "Parnellism Unmasked' complied by
Pigott which witness paid EGO. Wit
ness stated he was willing to lay the books
of the Union before the court, but OBJ
iected to their being examined by political
opponents. Witness borrowed f450 from
Lord Stallbridge and Sir Roland Blenner-
hasset, and ESQ from DIR. Mcguire to
buy the letters printed by the Times
Houston produced a voucher for 9l00
paid to Eugene Davis.
Sir Charles Russell-Don't you believe
that voucher is in Pigott's handwriring2
Witness-Tbey write similarly, | don't
believe 1t is in Pigott's handwriting.
Sir Charles Russell demanded the pro-
duction Of the books of the local and pa
trIotic union. He said he desired to prove
thai the whole Indictment contained in
.Parnellism and Crime proceeded from
the union. Pigott had been used by a
powerful political organization to concoct
the plan; Attorney General Webster
contended that the books we're wanted in
order to give the Parnellites free range
upon other political matters. The court
decided against the application.

A HEROINE OF THE OCEAN.
How Mrs Clark Conquered the Ship
Assaiiants and Saved Her

How Mrs Clark Conquered the Ships
Assaiiants and Saved Her Husband.
On the river Byram, a little stream
which divides the states of Connect
cut and New York, is the village of
Port Chester. In a pretty cottage re-
sides a woman of unassuming man
ners, whose deed of heroism will live
as long as stories of the sea are read
and deeds of prowess cited for the en-
ulation of others.
Jan. 3, 1885, a little after midnight,
and on the ocean nearing st. Helena,
was the good American ship Frank
N. Thayer, commanded by Capt. Rob
ert K. Clark. Soon after the midnight
watch was changed the captain was
reused from a sound sleep by hearing
his name called in a tone of alarm.
Fearing that all was not we'll with
his ship he hurried up the companion
way in his night clothes. As his head
appeared above the companionway he
received a number of stabs in the
face, neck and head, but he managed
to see that his assailants were two Ma
nilla Indians, members of the crew.
He fell TO the floor beneath, where
the Indians followed him and plunged
their knives into his side, leaving him
for dead. The carpenter, the lookout
man and the mate were killed. The
balance of the crew were locked in or
terrified, andthe captain, his wife and
daughter were left to the mercy of the
Infatuated Manila Indians.
The captain, faint from the loss of
blood, was assisted to the cabin by his
wife. One of the lungs of the officer
was protruding. The brave woman,
with a nerve as firm as adamant and
with a care as guarded as the skilled
physician, forced the vital parts back,
and sewed up the frightful wound.
She then bandaged his face and head
and set herself to the task of making
their position safe by securing the
windows to the cabin, arming her
self and placing the wounded captain
in a position to defend or assist in the
defense of the cabin.
The precaution was taken Just in
time, for, firing of the vigil they had
kept about the captains cabin, they
determined to finish him. But he and
the intrepid woman at his side repel-
led the mutineers, who had broken
open the cabin window.
What words can describe the cour-
age of this wife, who stood with firm
hand by her husbands side, ready to
do or die, hearing meanwhile the
tread of the Indians thirsting for his
blood.
The skulking crew, by the courage
of the wife and captain, were at last
urged to action. One of the Indians
jumped overheard. The other sought
refuge in the hold, and when dislodg-
ed it was found that he had set the
ship on fire. He jumped overheard
and vas lost.
Then came renewed heroism on the
part of the wife. Tenderly the loved
captain was placed into a boat, and
after a long and tedious sail of zoo
miles they reached the island of St.
Helena, having been nine days adrift
in a boat insuficiently p~rovisioned,
with a man almost cut to pieces. But
the brave woman was the master spirit
of the ship wreck, and today she is
pointed out as the brave wife of the
equally brave Capt. Robert K. Clark.

a long fight is anticipated.

excitement is intense.
