OCEANS NEW MYSTERY.
Nobody Knows Whose Were the Bodies
Capt. Kastrup Saw.

There is much conjecture among the members
of the Maritime Exchange this morning, con-
corning the identity of the corpses Of the man
and woman, who were passed floating at sea on
Monday morning by tine Norwegian bark Chris
tian SERVER, which arrived here yesterday.
Capt. II. A. Barnes, superintendent of.the Old
Dominion Steamship Company, does not be-
lieye that the bodies came from the Manhattan.
Not a woman sailed on the ship. he said to
again, the captain of the Christian Server re-
ports that the fragments of deck-houses and
other wreckage were painted white. The deck
houses on the Manhattan were of n1ight grayish
brown in color. and could hardly have been mis-
taken for white.
II am inclined to think that the wreckage
came from the steamboat Crystal Wave. which
was sunk near where the Manhattan went down
in O collision with the Cleopatra about six weeks
ago. She WAS painted white, and all her boats,
rats and cabins We're OF that %cOlOr."

The average Dakotan hardly realizes
the vast amount Of work that has been
done during the past few months by the
friends of the division and admission of
Dakota. Efforts that would have made
Hercules tired have been put forth by
our leading men that have at reached a
successful ending. No other Dakotan is
entitled to more praise for his hard work
than Hon. Gideon G. Moody, and the
people, when the opportunity is offered,
will show their loyalty and friendship by
giving him the highest position in their
power. Delegate Clifford and Delegate
elect Matthews are deserving Of great
credit for the efforts put forth by them,
particularly Mr. Matthews, as every
effort made by him tending to the sue
cessful elimination Of the scheme, as
sisted materially in putting an end to
his career as Dalota's delegate in the
fifty first congress. ToSenators Cullom,
Plat and Butler and congressman
Springer, Cox, and others arc the two
Dakotas forever in debt and the above
named gentlemen can rest assured that
in the coming proud march of progress
on the part OF the Dakotas their names
will be found inseparabiy linked.

to add one gun to the national salute
