A Ship in Distress.

New YORK, Sept. 15.-Captain Collier
of the steamship Normandie, which
landed her passengers to-day, reports
that yesterday about $3.50 p. M, when
$50 miles east of Sandy Hook, he sighted
the three-masted American ship Chal-
lenger, bound from West Hartet Pool
to this port. Danger signals were
streaming from every available point on
the Challenger's boards. She was dis
masted and her sails torn to ribbons.
The captain of the Normandie, despite
the terrible gale that was still blowing.
sent a boat and crew to the assistance of
the Challenger. The frail craft was tossed
up and down like a cookie shell in the
trough of the sea, and the return journey
was equally dangerous. Their report
was h%orrifying. They said Captain
Thompson of the Challenger had re-
ported that during the hurricane on
September l, twelve of his crew had
been washed overheard and chat a ma
jority of the remainder were too i'll to
work the ship. In addition to the twelve
men killed, four of the crew had their
arms and legs broken, leaving but four
men to work the ship. The Challenger
WASH in a terribly crippled and dismantled
condition. Her mizzen mast, fore and
main top and top gallant mast, b~owsprit,
head gear and standing rigging were
gone, and she was making about three
knots per hour under her foresail and
high reefed mainsail. Officer Marshall
offered medical assistance and food, but
the captain of the Challenger declined,
saying all he wanted was for the Nor
mandie to take a letter to the ships own
ers and mail the same upon their arrival
in this citv. 4

A Clergyman Accused of Horse Racing,
Explains Matters Satisfactorily.
MUsKEeoN, Mich, Sept. 12.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Methodist Epis-
copal conference to investigate the
Arney case reported to-day. Rev.
Arney, quite at variance with his threats,
confessed to having committed a very
imprudent act when he participated in a
horse race. He sincerely regretted the
notoriety caused by the transaction.
The money received by premiums had
been given to the drivers and no betting
had been done. He kept horses for per-
sonal pleasure and exercise and a posi-
bility of premiums and profits by their
sale after being properly trained. He
added that as long as he lives he will
V again engage in horse races. The
conference accepted the report and
Arney's character was allowed to pass.

now been filed and that's the end of it.
Gafney then asked Depew to wait I'M
til the committee had discussed the mat
ter and said they would then return and
make their proposition to him. DePew
replied, "There is no use in making false
promises to you. There is nothing more
to be done. I do not care to talk over
back numbers. You have chosen to re-
sign your places. Webb has filled them
and I have nothing more to say" The
committee then left the office.

Relieving the Money Market.

ericsson SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 12.-That
the president is taking a deep interest
in the financial situation is shown by the
fact that ne devoted nearly two hours of
the afternoon to telegraphic correspond
enc with Secretary Window at Will
Jamestown, Mass, and Assistant Secre-
taries Bachelor and Nettleton at Wash
ington as to the best means of relieving
the present stringency in the money
market. The telegraph Office is located
in a one story frame building near the
executive cottage. It was formerly used
by colored people, as a place
of worship and it was there the
president and Halford transacted
their business this afternoon One of
the results of the conference was an
order for the payment of the interest ag-
gregating $5,000,00O in currency skies
and for an advance in the rate for 5 per
cent. bonds at $1.25. Another question
considered was the propriety of suggest
ing an extension of the bonded per cents
under the proposed new tariff laws, but
no conclusion was reached on this point.
The latest advices received by the presl-
dent we're to the effect that money was
easier at the close Of business and that
the outlook was more favorable

FEATHERY FLAKES AT FARGO.
The Land Forfeiture Bill.

WAsH1NGToN, Sept. 12.-After Mr..
Morgan had spoken about two hours to-
day the senate was addressed by MI.
Sanders in favor of adoption of the con-
ference report on the land forfeiture bill
(the main point of his contention being
that land actually patented to railroad
companies could not be taken from them
because they turned out to be mineral
lands). MI. Hearst took the contrary
view and insisted that the mineral lands
were specially reserved by the origi nal
grants and must be kept for the use of
the people at large. Mr.. Sanders said
that in the courts of his own state, of
the state of California and in the su-
preme court of the United States the
term mineral lands"had been held to
mean lands commercially valued for
mining purposes. Without concluding
his argument, Sanders yielded for a mo-
ton to proceed to executive business
and the senate soon adjourned.

pointed to investigate the charges

ceived promotions by reason of their
purchasing stock in the Universal Re.
%frigerating company. All Of the men,
beers we're present with the exception OF
Goodnight of Kentucky. The commit.
tee, however, decided not to call n OF
the clerks for examination for the fol.
lowing reasons, which we're ordered on
record at the direction of the committee
General Raum requested the commit.
tee to subpoena every employee of the
pension department. who has been pro-
noted under his administration of Of
flee to disapprove the charge that any
such employees have purchased or held
stock in the Universal Refrigerating
company, or been promoted by reason
thereof. The committee declined to
comply with his request, on the ground
that it would, in their opinion, judging
from the evidence already taken, be only
q consumption Of time and q needless
expense" Morrill,, Flick and Lewis sus-
tanned the objection, Sawyer dissenting.
