Terrible Find Of "a Norwegian Captain on
Delaware Breakwater

Nrw YoRK, Dec. 3.-An appalling sight
was witnessed in the water of Delaware
Breakwater about dusk yesterday evening
by the crew Of the Norwegian bark Chris
tian SERVER. which arrived from Buenos
Ayres to- day. The bark passed a huge raft
ON which were the bodies of two men.
dressed as sailors. They were dead, and
had been lashed to the logs of the raft
About three yards from the raft was the
body Of middle-aged woman encircled by
n life preseryer. Every effort was made TO
find out what vessel the raft belonged to,
but the captain Of the bark was unable 10
find out anything. The receipt of the news
in shipping circles occasioned no little er-
citement. Upon the Maritime Exchange
the opinion prevails that the raft and
bodies had come from the old dominion
steamship Manhattan, which went down in
a collision recently. The agents of that
line, however, say there was no woman ON
their vessel.

The pre-Emption Law Not Repealed.

Assistant Attorney General Shields, OF the
interior department. has given the secretary
Of the interior an opinion az 10 the effect of
the seventh section Of the act admitting new
stntes, which refers 10 the act Of 1871, the
original pre-emption act, and repeals the
same as 10 the new states. He holds that
taking the whole section together, the intent
WAS not TO repeal the pre-emption laws, but
10 make n grant Of lands In lieu Of the
eighth section Of the act of lsll, generally
known AZ the internal improvement grant.
and 10 repeal that section AZ TO the new
statesi that the act Of ls41 was carried into
the revised statutes and repealed in 1866.
that If congress had intended 10 repeal the
pre-emption lnws II could have done SO, by
repeating the sections of the revised stat
utes appertaining thereto, or by applying
the words 80 declaring, aud not by the re-
peal Of the old act Of ls41; and that the pre-
emption laws 30 contained in the revised
statutes, except rs 10 internal improvement
grants, are still in force in the new states.

The Presidents Message Received
With Apathy by Both Parties
in Congress.
Northwestern Members Waiting
for WINDOWS Silver Policy
Before Talking


wAsHISoToN, Dec. 3.-lSpecial. The
only event of interest to-day in Washington
was the presentation of the presidents mes
sages TO the two houses of congress. II did
not attract the attention that was expected,
and when the clerks had finished rending il
not more than one member in dozen knew
what the executive had said, and il was not
until the attention of different members
had been called TO points upon which they
were most interested that they had any
opinion TO express The vari-
GUS recommendations affecting west
en interests and his references
to the silver question seemed 10 be satisfac-
tory 10 the western members M he lays the
burden Of silver policy upon Secretary
Window. The majority of the congress-
men prefer to wait until the secretary's re-
port is made before making any comment.
As whole the message is just about what
people acquainted with the present admin
istration would expect and comment in
Washington is almost apathetic. The rep
resentatives in the northwest made various
comments on the message, and the house
was in continual tumult during its read-
ing. No effort was made TO keep order aud
the floor was deserted by more than half
the members Representative Hansbrough,
of North Dakota, said the allusion TO the
new states pleased him and Mr.. Carter. of
Montana. He read the remarks ON silver
with great care and said he thought IL
might be right. Delegates Dubois, OF Idaho.
and Carey, Of Wyoming, were Of the same
opinion. Mr. Wilson. of Washington. is
pleased with the recommendations ON com
merce and the earnest request for more
steamship lines. This feature Of the mes
sage also pleased Mr.. Hermann, Of Oregon.

DEER LODGE, DEG. 14.-Th first case
tried by the new district Judge and under
the new order of things was that of the
state Of Montana against James Dough-
erty for tearing down u boundary stake
OH the Lincoln mininx claim i'm the Orc
Elmo district. The prosecution was insti-
tuted by John Duffy, one of the claimants
to the Lincoln lode. But on the trial the
state failed to establish that there was
any we'll defined valuabl mineral lead
such as was claimed for the Lincoln lode,
and hence the defendant was acquitted;
and besides, the defendant in this case
had obtained Judgment in AN ejcctment
suit for the ground in controversy against
Duffy and his co-partncrs. There seems
to have been no ground whatever for the
prosecutions.
