the following report: We sailed from
Milk River, JAM, Dec. 20, 1889, for Glasgow,
with 494tons of logwood. Had good weather
up to Jan. 9th, when in lat 37o OF No.. long.
60 32 W., we encountered gale from N.
N. w, with heavy sea which washed the
decks. For "a hours she was under short
sail, Jaboring heavily. Jan. 10th at noon the
gale increased to hurricane. Next night at
midnight an immense SEA broke over the
stern throwing the man at the wheel violent
ly to the deck, and if the captain and first
mate had not grasped the main brace they
would have been washed overheard. The
wheel was smashed, and the rails and
stanchions carried away. Jan. 18th the
vessel was hove to for repairs to the wheel.
during which oil bags were put overheard to
windward with good results jar. 23d, at
midnight, another hurricane broke over the
ship and the deck was under water. Oil
bags were again used and hawser put oyer
the stern for drag. Jan. 26th, at a. M,
the vessel broached to and the foretopsail
was carried away. She sprung aleak and
took list to starboard. The jib was blown
to ribbons and everything movable washed
off the deck.
Then the captain took counsel with his
crew, when it was decided TO cut away the
masts. The main mast was cut away and
went overheard with all its spars, slightly
damaging one of the lifeboats At midnight
of the 25th the pumps were sounded. and 81
feet of water found in the hold, which at
80 a. m. had increased to 81 feet, when it
was decided to abandon her. The crew took
TO the boats, and at d. m. same day were

FooTsALL CONTROVERSIES.
President Eliot Thinks Colleges In.
tended for Better Things.

BOSTON, February 6.-President Eliot's
report on the condition of Harvard Univer-
sity during 1889 was presented to the over
seers today.
1t refers favorably to the act of the last
general court enlarglng the power of the col
lege to hold real estate. 1t points out that
under the requirements for admission to the
college introduced In 1886, one out of eyerv
seven candidates have 5een rejected, an an
swer TO critics who said that by allowing
Greek to be omitted Harvard lowered its
standard. The report reviews the reforms
in discipline demanded by the overseeIs and
carried out by the college faculty, laying en-
phasis on the system of advisers for fresh
men, which the president thinks may be fur
ther extended. Expressing satisfaction at
the gifts of the new Weld boat house. Cary
athletic building and other aids to athletics.
President Eli It expresses in telling words
his disapproval of intercollegiate ''leagnes"
which he considers weak in the cause of good
and prolific in producing quarrels between
colleges which ought to have better business
in hand than football controversies. The re-
port gives Interesting statistics as to the cost
OF living at the new Foxcroft Club, showing
IN that students live there at 35 cents a day.
The full bill Gf fare with prices is quoted A
fund OF $4,000 has been received for the
maintenance OF non -sectarian religious wOr-
ship. New fellowships in the graduate de-
parCment are announced. The president
lays stress on the inadequacy of the present
administrative machinery of the graduate
department and refers to the report on that
department in which the acting secretary
recommends its reorganization with a separ-
ate faculty. The report refers with satisfac-
tion to the pamphlet published by students
from other colleges, giving their views re-
garding the moral tone and general advan-
tages of Harvard. Students from GA col
leges joined in this favorable document. The
president reviews the events of the year in
the professional schools, pointing out the
marked growth in the divinity and law
schools, and the flourishing condition of 9TH
er departments. The most pressing need of
the University is the addition of large
reading room to the general library build
ing, which now contains over $4,000 vol
umes, and has 1000 students pressing upon
its limited space. A fire proof building for
the records of the observatory is also imper-
atiyely needed. Among the gifts of the
year those for the enlargement Of the Uni
versity Museum are among the most impor-
tant. This building has over four acres of
floor space. Out of 1SS persons attending
ll6 were teachers. The report closes with a
word in favor of the establishment of publi-
cation funds of $4,000 or $4,000 each in va
rious departments not already provided with
such funds. The report, like the catalogue.

hALsrEAD ON THE STAND.
His Theories Concerning the Forged
Ballot Box Paper.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-Before the
ballot box investigation commit ttee today
Senator Sherman testified that he never
signed any ballot box contract, and pro-
nounced his signature to the ballot box pa
per forgery.
Murat Halstead he first saw tie ballot
box. paper on September 14th, on the cars at
Springfield, Ohio. he met Governor Fora
ker on the train, and the Governor showed
him the paper. The Governor said r. G.
Wood had given it to him and it came right
out OF John McLean's safe The witness
was told that Wood was party to the bal
lot box transaction and had a right to the
paper. Inc Governor told the witness that
the paper shocked him and was much more
than he wanted. The witness said he told
the Governor that. In his Judgment, it GER
tainly connected Campbell with a question
aoie transaction and should not be concealed.
he said he was exasperated at the idea of
Mckinley, Butterworth and others being
connected with the matter. Under whatever
delusions Others might have signed this pa
per, Campbell certainly knew all about it,
for he introduced the bill. lie was the only
signer OF the paper before the. peo-
name should be published in
connection with the transaction The only
reason Mr.. Halstead thought of at the time
that the paper should not be published In
iuii WetS UctduS6 lH6 name OF .. -. COX dp-
peared on it, and on the date that Mr.. Fora
ker gave him the paper Mr.. Cox's funeral
had taken place. 1t would not do to use the
names Of Mckinley aud Butterworth during
the campaign
Mr.. Halstead explained his theory of the
forgery. The motive, he believed, was
Woods extreme anxiety to get hold of the
smoke inspectorship. He was certain the
paper was never intended to hurt any one.
1t was utterly preposterous to think that
Governor Foraker had any knowledge it
was forgery. 1t was certain that Wood
put Senator Sherman's name to the paper, to
keep Governor Foraker from using it during
the campaign.
Mr.. Halstead was recalled and his exami-
nation occupied the balance of the evening
He read a letter from Senator Sherman
urging him to expose, through his paper,
all connected with the forgery, and handed
to the committee all the correspondence
which passed between Gov. Foraker and
himself la connection with the matter. A
letter addressed to him by Gen. Grosvenor,
In connection with the publishing of the
forged letters, was passed to the members of
the COMMITTEES and read, after which Gen.
Grosyenor objected to its being put on the
Gov. Foraker, who had read the letter. in
sisted upon it going on record. After more
discussion, it was decided by the committee
10 determine in secret session whether 1t
should become part of the record Mr..
Halstead denied having any information
direct or indirect, duplicating Messrs.
Mckinley, Butterworth, Sherman or others
in the matter.
