WRECK OF THE GALsNA.

The Vessels Commander Lays tn Q
Blame on the Tug.
WASHINGTON, March 19-The report of
Lieutenant Commander Bycknell upon
the wreck Of the United States steamship
Galena last week has been received at the
navy department.. 1t is understood that
the responsibility for the loss of the Galena
and Nina is placed upon the officers of the
tug, who failed to respond TO the orders from
the Galena directing the course when the
breakers were seen. High praise is awarded
by Commander Bycknell to Ensign Field
for energetic and courageous service in the
emergency and TO the crew for the discipline
maintained under trying conditions The
department officials declined to make the
report public for the reason that IL is to be
laid before the court of inquiry to be ap-
pointed as soon as the officers aud crews of
the wrecked vessels can be gathered at New
York.
The Galena and the government tug
Nina, at Gay Head. lie in about the same
condition. A strong northerly wind has
been blowing from the shore to-day, cut
ting down the sea, but a heavy ocean swell
has been rolling all day. Wreckers have
taken down the Galenas mainmast and
cleared away the rigging, etc., preparatory
to taking the three heavy boilers from off
her deck. Nothing as yet has been done
with the Triana, ashore at Cuttyhunk. Tele-
graphic communication with the mainland
has been resumed. The difficulty was found
to be in the lagd line at Woods Holl and on
Nauseon Island and was promptly repaired.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-It may be
some time before the 81, ,3O4, ,O95 81 appropri-
ated by the last congress to pay the awards
under the French spoliation claims, already
certified to congress. is distributed to the
claimants. At the end of the long itemized
appropriations in the deficiency act comes
this proviso: provided, That in all cases
where the original sufferers were adjudi-
Gated bankrupt the awards shall be made on
behalf of the next of kin instead of to the
assignees in bankruptcy, and the awards in
the case of individual claimants shall not
be paid until the court of claims shall GER
tify to the Secretary of the Treasury that
the personal representatives on whose behalf
the award is made represent the next of
kin, and the courts which granted the ad-
ministratiou respectively shall have certified
that the legal representatives have given
adequate security for the legal disburse-
ment of the awards" Like so much of the
legislative language of the last congress
this proviso did not seem clear to the OIL
GERS having to administer it, so it has been
referred to the Attorney General for author
itative construction, and until he gets his
opinion ready the matter will be hung up.

BATES TO KRAMER.
The Interstate Commission Trying to
Stop Discrimination.


WASHINGTON, March 19.-The interstate
commerce commission to-day, in an opinion
by Commissioner Veasey, decided the case
of Hamilton & Brown of Kramer, Ga,
against the Chattanooga. Rome and Column
bus Railroad Company, Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company, and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail-
way Company, in favor OF the complain
ants. The points decided are briefly as
follows:
l. Rates on freight from interstate points
to Kramer, Ga, via the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus railroad are made by taking
the through rate to recognized "basing
points" and adding thereto that local rate
which will give the lowest combination.
This method of determining the rate is
criticised, and, as applied to such traffic to
Kramer, operates as an unjust discrimina-
tion against the locality.
2 All carriers participating in traffic,
rates for which were questioned in this pro-
cesding, were nor made parties, and the
case, while showing that the through rates
were discriminatory and unjust, failed to
disclose sufficient facts upon which an accu-
rate decision could be base, and accordingly
1t was held that the carriers who we're parties
to the proceeding be required to djust
their respective tariffs so as to avoid dis
elimination against Kramer, and that the
carriers who were not parties be summoned
TO appear and show cause why like order
be not issued as to the business in which
they participate, unless their tariffs are
voluntarily adjusted 80 as to avoid the dis
elimination complained Of

The Mysterious Theft Committed at

BERLIN, March 19.-The military author
tiles of this city and Of SheDdau are investi-
eating the mysterious disappearance Of a
large number of smokeless powder car
tridges, which have been stolen from the
military work shops OF Shendau. From
the meager facts given out by the military
officers it appears that hundreds OF kilo-
grams Of the new rife cartridges loaded
with German smokeess powder have
been stolen by non-commission officers,
who sold them in Berlin for Q marks per
100 Kilograms. This much Is given out, but
to whom the thieves disposed of the cart
ridges is mysterious feature Of the affair,
which the military authorities are vigor-
ously endeavoring to determine, the sus-
picion as usual being that some foreign gov
ernment was the instigator.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Cor
man. Representative Compton and Linden
Kent leave the city to-day over the Rich
mond and Danville road for three weeks
tour through some of the southern states.
The greater portion Of the time will be

oraume to remain at least one day in some
Of the more prominent cities of Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, North and South Car
olna.
HUNT FOR DELEGATES.
Senator Gorman's southern tour is of
course regarded by the politicians as hunt
for delegates to the next democratic ma
tional convention, whose second choice ct
the best will be Arthur p. German. 1t is
thought that his services in defeating the
force bill have won him the gratitude Of the
south, and that he will not be disappointed
&c he is in search of German delegates.
Senator German will of course have the
MARYLAND delegation and probably those of
Virginia and West Virginia to start with.
He hopes to have as many more at the best
from the south. Senator German is for ex
President Cleveland unless ex-President
Cleveland cannot be nominated; then he is
for German. The possibility of his nomina-
ton is more and more talked about here.

STATE AGENTS RULED OUT.

NO Fart of the Airect Tax Money to

WASHINGTON, March 19-The popular
belief that 10 per cent. of the direct tax
appropriation, or 81 SOC, 900, will go to the
agents OF the states at Washington who
helped to get it through congress is incor-
rect. The claims of the state agents on the
possible appropriation held the bill back so
mat Its friends in congress inserted the fol-
loving proviso in section of the act:
rroVlded that no part of the money
hereby appropriated shall be paid out by
Une governor of any state or territory, or
any other person, to any attorney or agent
under any contract for services now exist
ing or heretofore made between the repre-
sentative OF any state or territory and any

Provlso undoubtedly helped the bill through.

WATERS TRAGIC DEATH.
THR FATAL STREET DUEL BEGUN
By THE REPORTaR.

The Enmity Between the Two Had Its
Origin in the Killing of Joseph Baker
by Waters Several Years Ago.
Waters Drunk When He Opened Fire
On Dunn.
New ORLEANS, March 19-The street
duel last'night between Capt. Arthur Dunn
and Frank Waters, in which the latter was
killed and the former severely wounded,
was the general topic Of conversation to-
day. The people who were personally acs
quainted with both men have been expect
ing trouble between them for some time
past. Both men resided in the
Eighth ward. and were opponents in
all political struggles. Joseph Baker, who
was state assessor during Guillote's admins
tration. was warm personal friend OF
Dunn, and when Baker was shot and killed
by Waters several years ago the enmity
between Waters and Dunn began. Dunn,
who was police captain then, resigned his
place to accept a vacancy caused by Bakers
death He also succeeded Baker as pEes~
dent OF the Mother Club OF the ward This
act did not patch up the difference be-
tween Dunn and Waters, but, on the con-
trary, widened it.
WATERS DRUNK.
Waters was under the influence Of LIQUOR
when the shooting occurred. IL he had
been sober the unfortunate affair would
not, in all probability, have happened.
Early in the evening Waters began im-
bibing, and at 9 o'clock he was pretty we'll
under the influence of drink. About IN
O'Clock Waters was standing near the oornex
of Canal and Bourbon streets. He was
very boisterously 1enounoing the affair
OF last Saturday. About this time Dunn
came along and started diagonally acress
the street 10 take his car. Waters, upon
catching sight of Dunn, began making some
very uneomplimentary remarks about the
people in the uprising of Saturday.
THE SHOOTING.
Waters then called Dunn, who was walk
ing from him, and turning, Dunn started
toward Waters. As he advanced, Waters
pulled his pistol and fired, but missed Dunn.
Dunn then drew his pistol and eleven OF
twelve shots were exchanged in rapid suc-
cession, Dunn advancing and Waters backs
ing toward Cluverius' drug store, and stag
Rering inside fell dead.
Waters was 80 years Of age, and native
OF this city. He was well known and 1g4
ured somewhat prominently in the politics
Of the Eighth ward. in which he was born
and reared. Waters was married two years
ago to Miss Douglass, who survives him.
Dunn is 43 years Of age. He is married, and
has family OF six children, FIVE boys and
one girl. The eldest is about Is years old

The chancellor Complains OF the Ex.
Premier's Inaccurecy.
LONDON, March 10--Mr. Goschen, chan.
cellor of the exchequer. has written to Mr.,
Gladstone to complain Of his iDaocuracy in
dealing with the question Of Mr.. Goschens
financial policy in the speech which Mr..
Gladstone delivered at Hastings on Tuesday,
last, and this action Of Mr. Goschen has
led to a long correspondence between
the two gentlemen. Mr.. Gladstone admitted
that he had lapses of memory. but still held
that this did not affect the principle which
he condemned in his speech. He, therefore.
adheres to the STRUCTURES which he then
placed on Mr.. Goschen, and promises to re-
vert TO the subject and discuss it as fully as
possible at an early date. This
question of finance assumes much
importance in view of the probable dissolu.
tion of the unionist party. The ChronicA
admits that Mr.. Goschen has toiled hard,
but says he has taken little out of the CORE,
spondence except in connection with Mr..
Gladstons's charge of concealing naval ex-
penditures.
