GOING TO PIECES.
The Galena Pronounced Beyond
Help.
Lieutenant Commander BiCknelPS Version
OF The Disaster.
Reception Of the Parnell Delegates at New
York - General FOEler'S Son
Burned to Death.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

GAYHEAD (Mass.) March Is. - The
United States steamship Galena, and tug
Nina, are still lying high up on the beach,
broadside on. All valuable property will
be moved ashore, but there is little hope of
saving the Galena.
The wrecked crews OF the sloop-of-war
Galena and the Government tug Nina are
being made as comfortable as possible here
by the Indian inhabitants. Late to-day the
rations from Newport arrived, so there
is no lack of eatIbles. A cargo of
wreckers and their appliances also arrived
and they at once went to work on the
wrecks. The tug will be saved, but the
Galena, it is feared, is beyond help. The
wind is freShening UP from the sea and she
will doubtless go to pieces. She has large
stores of ammunition on board intended for
the United Statos steamship Lancaster,
now fitting out at the Portsmouth Navy
yard.
This will be saved. The crews have
turned the only church in the vicinity into a
dininG-hall.
Lieutenant-Commander G. 4. .Bcknell gives
the following particulars of the disaster:

we encountered dense fog, with heavy
wind. When Block Island was reached the
fog lifted so that the island could be seen,
and obtained our bearing and got iu-
to Vineyard Sound, but it soon fell
again. We saw just red glimmer of Gay

minutes before the vessel struck. We sup

lghtship. When We supposed the ship was
between the lightship and Gayhead, the tug
was stopped for instructions, and ate + get
ting cur sailing directions, started mp, but the
hawser nsd not Strengthened out wheE We
struck. A line was foated ashore by means
OF large box, after severa! failures, and
finally the crew all got safely on the beach,
but it was seven hours hard work before
we did so. We are all played out"
NEW YORK, March 15.-The New Bed

port last evening for Gayhead with provs-
ions and other articles for the seyenty-seven
men belonging to the wrecked vessels, Ga

until off CuttYhunk, when she struck on
Schooner Ledge, on the south side OF
the east end Of the island, and is now full
Of water. She is one of the largest boats
of the kind owned by the Government, is
made OF iron, and the provisions and every
thing aboard are total loss. Her crew of
seven men were rescued with diff ulty by
the Cuttyhunk llte-SaVng crew. Once the

were nearly drovped. She has a large hole

CUT THE LEVEE.
A Test Case Of Much Importance to sutter
County Residents

CUuUby htSlutulS
MARYsvILLE. March 15.-The case Of
the People VS.. Charles Luckche came up in
the Justice Court of Yuba City yesterday.
Luckche was charged with malicious mis-
chief in having cut private levee belong
ing to George Behlman, four miles west of
Live Oak, Sutter County. The defendants
attorneys admitted the cutting but denied
that it was done malicously. They claimed
the levee was nuisance that endangered
the properly of defendant and his neighbGrs
by closing the natural channel and forcing
the water in another direction. Over thirty
witnesses had been subpenaed by the de-
fendant, including the County Surveyor,
and the case was bitterly contested. The
case was given to the jury at o'clock and
at 10 o'clock they announced their inability
to agree. They stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction
District Attorney Mahon says he will con-
tinue the case and carry it to higher courts
if necessary. The case is of much import
ance to Sutter County, particularly the
northern part as great many levees and
bitches have been built, and If it is finally
decided that Behman has no right to
maintain the leyee the system Of drainage
in that section is worthless unless new laws
governing tie matter are passed. Luckche
offers to let Behlman, tie prosecuting wit
ness, select three responsible men to inspect
the premises and decide the proper manner
of getting rid of the water on the south side
OF Behlman'S field.

THE LIEN LAW.



MARYsvILLE, March 15.-Judge Gray has
rendered decision in the Yuba County Su-
perior Court which will be of considerable
interest to working men. An action was
begun last October by Charles McWilliams
and others against L. B. White to recover
payment for work done for the latter on
threshing machine. The machine was owned
by James OBrien, but had been leased by
White. Plaintiffs claimed that according to
the lien law they could hold the machine for
payment of their wages no matter to whom
Ii belonged. They brought suit and received
Judgment and the Sheriff was ordered TO sell
the property.
Mr.. O'Bren, the owner, asked for an in
demnity bond, so the Sheriff refused to sell
the machine until such bond was given by
court. The court ordered that officer TO ap
pear and show cause why he should not
make the sale. Judge Gray took the mat
ter under advisement and sent his decision
ordering the Sheriff to proceed with the sale
without an indemnity bond. The Judge
holds that the lien law protects the labOrerS
from being swindled out of their wages,
and that il matters not to whom the prop
erty belongs, it must be held good for pay
meut. He holds that SO long as the machine
belongs to Mr.. O'Brien he should have seen
that the men received their pay.

No Further Cause for Foreign Prohibition

No Further Cause for Foreign Prohibition on
the Grounds of Our Sanitary Laws
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Secretary Rusk
was asked to-day what he thought of the
statement made by Minister Boetticher in the
German Reichstag to the effect that the new
sanitary measures adopted by the United
States were inadequate, and that the Ger
mans would not rcscind the prohibition
upon American hog products. Secretary
Rusk said he could hardly believe the
statement made, for it imparts willful
or pretended ignorance of the legislation
now in force in this country. The last
meat-lnspection law passed by Congress
is great deal more thorough thanl that
now in force in any other country. If our
examination will not satisfy the German
Government it is simply because they don't
propose to be satisfied with any system.
This Government has suffered imputations
placed upon its meat products by foreign
nations to exist under cover of such pre-
texts long time, but the time has about ar
rived when unjust discrimination and false
statements as to the purity of our meats
must cease. Such statements will no longer
be permitted 10 60 unchallenged by this
Government and such redress as the laws of
this country permit should, in my Judgment,
be lnfOrcpl

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Weekly
Weather Crop Bulletin says: Generally
throughout the regions east of the Rocky
Mountains the season is retarded, notwlth-
standing the fact that the thermal condi-
tlons over this region are generally in ex-
cess. The recent storms wlch have passed
over the central valleys have been attended
by freezing weather in that region, but as
the growing season has not opened it is
probable the low temperature reported has
caused no marked injury TO growing crops
except fruit trees in the Gulf region.
