panic on board. The sailors wore

and the officers from their hunks.
Nobody was injured, BUT much Of the
interior furniture was damaged. The I'M
known steamer verged around and made
with all possible speei for the lower bay.
As soon AS the marines got their senses to-
gether, the inst launch at hand was started
out in pursuit, with the sailors armed Tor
duty. The steamer had a start of twenty
minutes, and up to this writing nothing

They Want Wives.

New YORK, March ia story pub
lished lately told of the hardships of the
working women in this city, and related
that 1000 women and girls work Tor
wages 81 meager that they can not sup
port themselves, and so are forced to ap-
ply for charity or fall into evil courses.
This story reached Ida, Otter Tai county,
MINI, aud the Otter Tail Pioneer re-
corded in its columns lt5 opinion that
tins was a terrible state of affairs, and
asserted that the same condition existed
in other centers of population. 1t de-
plored this situation, aud referred u the
fact that In the big farming countries of
the northwest there are many honorable,
worthy men who loug for wives, and are
deprived of them because Of the scarcity
of the women.
Female servants are also needed, and
women could find employmentat lucrative
wage if they would turn there faces
toward the Northwest. The Pioneer
suggested the formation of a Woman's
Protective Association for the purpose of
distributing the women fairly over the
country, and threw Opon its columns to
any woman who might be willing to
advance this idea. These comments re-
suited in a letter signed Joshua II
Wright that came from Ida, Otter
Tail County. to Mayor Grant. The letter
says: Mayor Grant-Sir: We are
bachelors and have seen this advertise
ment and met in council, consulted the
matter and agreed that we can find homes
for six Of them, and good homes for them.

The nuyer as Bad the seller.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March l9.-The
prohlbitorY law has been in force nearly
year in South Dakota, but the first test,
which came today, has probably destroyed
its effect. A detective swore that Axel
Daniels had sold hun liquor. No attempt
was made to break the testimony, but the
defense held that under the law the de
tactive had committed a crime in buying
the liquor, and was therefore an accom-
plice of the saloonkeeucr and his unsnp-
ported testimony would not convict. In
this the court and Jury agreed. Should
the supreme court uphold this decision,
conviction under the law will be impossi-
BILE, and prohibition in South Dakota a
failure.

VIM Run Like an Erpress.

BALTIMORE, March l9.-In three or
four weeks there will be ready for her
trial trip a peculiarly shaped vessel,
which, if the expectations of her designer
are realized, will revolutionize transatlan-
tic passenger travel and discount the per-
formances of the City of Paris and other
ocean greYhounds by at least two days.
The vessel in question is the Howard Cas-
sard" and she is the invention ofRobert NJ.
FRYER. Should she prove a success a
number of steamers will be built on the
samo principle and a line started between
this city aud some European port. Mr..
Fryer has for years been convinced that
vessels as at present built are entirely too
broad to obtain the best results IN point
of speed a nd that il was only necessary to
lessen the beams sufficiently to obtain a
speed in water equal to that of an express
train. He drew plans and had bis in
yention patented and then tried to OBJ
tain the necessary capital IN New York
TO construct the hull of sufficient size to
demonstrate the practicabiiity of his idea.
A chip yard was leased in Baltimore
and the necessary material was contracted
for, and daY after day Mr.. Fryer saw his
hopes approaching nearer to realization.
The men who advanced money were by no
means ngu of success, but they are
young aud enterprising and Mr.. Fryer sue
ceeded in imparting to them much OF his
enthusiasm. In November the vessel was
launched. Work has since progressed
steadily and it is expected that the dock
trial can be had in two or three weeks.
The vessel presents a rad icaldeparture from
the lines heretofore followed in steamship
building. Although she is 222 feet
over all and 206 feet between p~erpendicu-
lars her extreme breadth is only l6 feet
and her bow as sharp as a knife Her ex-
treme depth amidship is lS.4 feet, draught
forward Is 8 feet and aft 10 feet. This
would, under ordinary circumstances. be
fatal to her stability. but to overcome that

The machinery is powerful and the yes
sci is expected to develop a speed Of
thirt7-6ve miles an hour without any
special effort.

New ORLEANS, March ia serious
crevasse occurred at 10 o'clock last night
on the Ames plantation, jefferson Parish,
belonging to Governor Ames of Massa-
chusetts, directly opposite the old ex
position grounds properly, leased by a
Northerner named Bidstrup, who uses it
es a rice plantation. The crevasse was
caused by an iron irrigation pipe, one foot
in diameter. beng placed in the
levee, several feet beneath the natural
surface of the ground. The work
was done carelessly and late IN
the season. The crevasse was caused by
water soaking the levee and forcing the
pipe and a section of earth through the
base of the levee. The break is 100 feet
wide. and is supposed to be at least fifteen
feet deep. Water is rushing through with
fearful force. Many square miles OF ter

WASHINGTON, March l9.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey has rendered an i'm
pOrtant decision, reversing the practice
of the pension office and correcting a mis-.
construction of the act of June 27, 1890
the dependent pension law. This de-
cisIon applies directly to the claim OF
Schuyler e. KeDpart, a sou Of the late
Sammuel A. Keppart, first lieutenant
Company +. 18th regiment, Pennsylvania
volunteers. The claimant, who is now
"a years of age, whilst a minor, was pen
stoned on account of the death OF his
father aud his pension ceased in 1889,
when he reached the age of l6 years.
An appeal was taken for a restoration
of the pension under the depend
ent pension law, providing for widows
and minor children. The appeal is based
on the allegation thar although the claim
ant is beyond the period of minority he is
permanently helpless, - and Is entitled
to restoration under the new law. The
assistant secretary holds that. assuming
that present proof of the existence of
such disabilities are abundant, the claim
ant Is governed by an obvious misappre-
hension OF the law. The claimants pen
ZION ceased IN 1852, aud this fact Gen.
Bussey holds. debars him from receiving
the benefits of the late law, as there is no
provision in the act OF June 27, 1890, nor
in any other act whereby a minors pen

Of age, may be revived and 5 arted airesh.
