NO ONE FOUND TO BLAME
For the Accident That Wrecked the GOV
ernment Steamer Despatch.

For the Accident That Wrecked the Gov
ernment Steamer Despatch.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Secretary Tracy
disposed of the case Of the wrecked steamer
Despatch this afternoon by approving the
conclusion of the Court of Inquiry that it is
not a case calling for any further
action. The Court found from the
evidence submitted that the orders
of Lieutenant Cowles, the commanding off
Ger of the vessel, were safe and proper, and
that the accident would not have occurred
but for the mistake of Lieutenant Noel in
taking the Assategue light for the winter
quarter shoal light.
The court found that the Assategue light
shone red instead of white, and that as the
vessel passed within four miles of the winter
quarter shoal with proper lookouts, without
seeing it, that light either must have been
entirely out or else was burning dimly. The
court was of opinion that this condition
was the principal cause of the disaster, and
that no one attached to the vessel could be
held accountable for it.

A Panic Caused by q Wild Steer.

A steer that became unmanageable in
Allegheny yesterday, about noon, created
considerable excitement. The animal had
been driven from the country by farmer
named Michael Ofsteir. On Spring Garden
avenue, near Wilbur alley, the steer broke
from the rope by which he was held, and
took to the pavement. The pedestrians
hurriedly sought places of safety, and, with
the exception of one, a boy named Owens,
any except o slight bruise on the forehead.
The animal then dashed against the shoe
store door of George Walstcrn, and broke
the door. At this juncture the owner of the
steer lassoed him, and further mischief was
prevented.

the people of the little State don't propose

tions. He thinks he sees victory for his
party written in the skies. New Jersey, he
SAYS, will be found in the Democratic list
as usual with good majority to its credit.

State Funds in Politicians Banks.
All of these men have been in the habit
of depositing the State funds in various Re-
publican banks throughout the State, from
which interest has been received, usually at
the rate of 8 per cent, notwithstanding
law on the statute books requiring these
funds to be kept in the vaults of the State
Treasury in the Capitol at Madison.
At one time Uncle Jerry Rusk, who was
then Governor, of the Badger State, pro-
tested against this violation of the law, and
threatened to bring Uncle Philetus' man to
taw. Thereupon Sawyer went down to
Madison and appeared suddenly in front of
Uncle Jerry's desk.
"Jerry, do you mean to say that we've
got to put that money in your old chicken
coop vaults here in the Capitol?" he de-
manded.

Preparations by the Treasury Department
to Assist All Exhibitors.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Secretary of
the Treasury has announced the following
new regulations to govern the free importa-
tion OF articles for exhibition at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition at Chicago. 1t is the
purpose of the department to secure expedi-

without the exaction of customs duties, fees
or charges to arrange the proceedings in en-

In order to obtain the benefits of this ar
rangement, every package destined for the
Exposition should have affixed to it, by the
foreign shipper, one or more labels repre-
senting the flag of the country to which it
belongs. This label should be about 8x12
inches in size, and should bear across the
face, in plain black letters, the inscription:
