THIRTY SEAMEN LOST.
A British Submerged and All
Hands Drowned.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-The most serious
of all the disasters that have occurred
during the present storm is the wreck of
the British ship Enterkin, Capt. Sim
clair. which was bound from Hull for
Brisbane. She was caught in the storm
while bound down the channel, and
despite every effort made to saev her.
was driven upon the GallOper sands, off
the port of Ramsgate, county of Kent.
Thirty lives were lost in this disaster,
every person except an apprentice
boy being drowned. The Enterkin was
standing on an inShore tack and the
wind blew so furiouSly that it was i'm
possible to carry sail enough to prevent
her from making leeway and she was
driven ashore almost broadslde. After
she had struck part of the crew sue
ceeded in launching a boat and got
clear of the ship. They headed shore
ward, but were almost immediately
thrown into the sea by the swapping of
their boat by high roller which broke
over the stern and filled it. Every man
who was in the boat was drowned al
most in sight OF his comrades on the
wreck.
Shortly afterward the ship. which had
been standing upon a comparatively
even keel, was struck by a tremendous
ly high sea and she keeled over, throw
ing every person aboard of her into the
water. Only one of them, the appren-
tice boy, succeeded in gaining the
weather rigging, which, by the keeling
over of the vessel. was just awash.
Here the lad remained throughout Sat
urday night, drenched and almost
frozen. Sunday morning a fishing
smack under very short sail sighted the
wreck and bore down to it. With much
difficulty boat was got alongside the
Enterkin and Lewis was taken off.
The Enterkin is wholly submerged.
The sailors drowned include George
Walker, of Richmond. Va; James
Roach, of st. Johns. and William Tirs-
kell and w. Brooks, Canadians. The
survivor states that most of the crew
wore cork jackets, which. however,
were of no avail In the terrible storm

THE DEAD HEAD.
Filings in the Teeth Assist the
Identification.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-COroner Mes
nounced that there were no filings in
the teeth of the dead dynamiter whose
head is at the morgue. Inspector
Byrnes hesitates 10 acknowledge the
Boston Identification of the dead crank
as Henry Norcross, and his utteraEces,
taken with MESSENGERS alleged denial
of the filings in the head, tend to ere
ate the belief that the officials are dis
gruntled and jealous of the reporters
who outstripped the officials and identi-
fed the dead head. A Boston dentist,
who attended the teeth of Norcross. has
stated that there were Filings in them.
Thus the matter stood when today
opened, and this is what has happened
since: A dispatch has come from BOS-
ton thus: "If it is fact, as reported.
that Coroner MESSENGER has made an eX-
animation of the teeth of the dead dyna-
inter and found no filling in them. then
it would seem that the head cannot be
that of Henry 7. NOrcross, as Norcross
had filings IN nine of his teeth, six In
the upper and three in the lower jaw.
DR.. Edward Goggins, who has been
Henry NorcrosS' dentist for ten years.
says: If the teeth in the dead mans
head in the New ork mOrgue reveal no
signs of filling. then it cannot be that
of NOrcrOss. DR.. Goggins produced a
diagram of a complete set of teeth,
upon which he marked from his books
the exact Filings he had put In for Nor
cross"
Later in the day an examination of
the bOIr b-thrower's head was made by
DR.. Edward Durham and was confined
to his teeth and jaws. The result con-
tradicted MESSENGERS alleged statement
and confirms the Boston dentist. There
are nine Filings in the teeth.
According to statements made by in
innate Boston friends of NOrcrOss.
there Is positive evidence that the lat
ter's brain had been affected by his
excessive use of drugs which he claimed
had great effect in keeping a man in
excellent physical condition. Camphor,
alum and sulphur be used regularly,
say these gentlemen. Norcross used to
say that camphor, owing to its pene-
trating qualities, was a most efficaciOus
preventive of disease. He kept it in a
small bottle, and taking it he would re-
move the cork, wet the end of the
finger. then remove the liquid with his
tongue, repeating this process several
times. When demonstrated with for
using so much camphOr internally he
would reply that it was the only way to
prevent disease.

LA CROSSE LIKES HIM.
The appointment OF Bishop
Schwebach Gives Satisfaction.

The appointment OF Bishop
Schwebach Gives Satisfaction.
Special to the Globe
LA CROSSE, Wis, Dec. 14.-Great sat-
isfaction is felt here among all classes
at the appointment of Rev. James
Schwebach as bishop of La Crosse.
This has been his home over twenty
years, and i'll fact the only place where
he has filled the Office of priesthood.
He was born in Luxembourg in 1s47 and
came to America in 1854. His parents
soon followed. and as his father was
naturalized before he became of age he
is an American citizen by that
act as we'll as by sentiment. He
was a student five years at st.
Francis seminary. Milwaukee. when
Bishop HeisS sent him to this city. In
July. 1869, he was ordained deacon, and
officiated here for one year, preaching
in English, French and German. July
II. 1870, he was ordained to the priest
hood by Bishop Grace. of st. Paul, and
soon afterward was appointed to his
present pastorate of st. Mary'S church.
IS In 1882 he was appointed by Bishop
Flasch vicar general of diocese. After
the death of Bishop Flasch ne was ap-
pointed administrator of diocese. His
conservation will take place in the
spring in st. Joseph's cathedral, this
city.

NIORRIsON's SITUATION.
Speculation as to the Interstate
Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lion the 3lst
of this month the commission of Mr..
Morrison, as member of the interstate
commerce commission, will expire. I'm
less the vacancies now existing caused
by the resignation of Judge Cooley and
the death of Judge Bragg are filled be-
fore that date, there will then be three
vacant places in the commission. 1t is
expected, however. that the nomination
of Representative Culberson to succeed
Judge Bragg will soon be sent to the
senate. There are great many candi-
dates for the position made vacant by
Judge COoley's resignation and it is not
known for certainty where the choice
of the president will fall. Mr.. Lambert
son, of Nebraska. has been mentioned
as winner, but that is largely specula-
tive. There seems TO be an impression
that Mr.. Morrison will succeed himself.

POLICE INVESTIGATION.
Some Inkling OF the FOrthcomin,
Report of the Committee.

> ONE lnktlng OF the forthcoming
Report of the Committee.
Special to the Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 1.-THE
police investigation committee which,
at the Endorsement of Mayor Pattison,
was appointed by the common council
has completed the work of taking teS-
timony and will report Wednesday to
the council. A member of the COM
mittee today divu!ged the principal re-
suits of the investigation. After the
completion of the evidence Saturday
the committee agreed upon report
now in the hands of Chairman OHare.
Two members Of the committee will
sign it. The report makes recOmmeE-
dations in four cases. Capt. Mike Cough
lin, Detective E. G. Earnshaw and De-
teetive Sam Evans. When asked today
what he would do i'm case the committee
did make the recommendation in ques-
ton he refused to commit himself, and
said he would have to 90 over
the evidence himself and be sat
isfied of ats reliability before he
would act. With regard 10 Chief Paden,
there has been developed during the i'll
veStigatIOn nothing connecting him di-
rect with the corruption charged. The
most damaging circumstances against
ghim is the fact that the man who has re-
ceived the money and who has more
than any one else been implicated. is
Intimately associated with the chief.
In his case the committee express their
opinion that he is either incompetent to
manage the police department and DOW
cries to prevent the corruption which
has existed, OF that he has willfully neg
lected his business In order that he or
some one else might share in the pro-
ceeds of the money extOrted from gam
blers and prostitutes. In either case
they recommended that he be requested
to resign.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Speaker Crisp
spent the day at the capitol seeing mem
bers of congress and others, and attend
ing to his correspondence. He has as
certained the wishes Of great number
of the members Of the house. The
speaker said this afternoon that no con-
clusiOn had yet been reached as to the
committees, nor had any of the various
chairmanships at his disposal been
rendered to any persons.
The character of the committee on
rules has not yet been decided on, and
the proposition to make it up without
reference to the chairmanships of the
ways and means and appropriations is
still under discussion. and there seems
TO be a strong probability that that
plan will prevail, there being preju-
dice among the average run of mem
bers against placing all the power of
the house in the hands of the chairmen
Of the two leading committees.
The greatest trouble will be to get the
right men to serve on rules. As an in
dependent committee, this will be more
difficult of organization than any other.
There are but TWO Democratic members
of this committee besides the speaker
and two Republicans. There may be a
proposition made to the house to in
crease the number by adding one more
member to the maj Ority.

AGAINST THE ROAD.
Names Railroad Tax Is Pro-
nounced Constitutional.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-In the su-
preme court of the United States today
Justice Field announced an opinion of
the court, holding by vote of five to
four. in the case of the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada VS.. The State of
Maine, that tax levied by the state on
the gross receipts of the railway COM
pany for the right to exercise its fran
chise within the state was legal and
constitutional and not contrary to the
constitutional provision prohibiting
states from regulating interstate com
merce.
The tax was levied under a general
law of the state levying an excise tax
on railways for the privilege of exer-
cising their franchise. A sliding scale,
depending on the gross receipts per
mile, was prescribed for railroads
wholly within the state. In roads like
the Grand Trunk, partly within and
partly without the state, the rate was
assessed by taking the average gross re-
ceipts per miie for the entire line and
multiplying 1t 10y the number of miles
operated by the road within the state.
