CAPTAIN FISHERS DoDY FOUND.

The body of Captain Benjamin Fisher. of
the wrecking tug Chapman. was found in the
water of pier II East river, at the foot Of
Pine street. yesterday afternoon. Captain
Fisher was drowned on Saturday night. 1t is
supposed that he fell into the water while try
ing to get aboard his boat at pier Is. after
spending a short time on shore. The tide was
ebb when he fell overheard and it is thought
that he was drawn under the pier. His head
shows the mark of "a severe brulse. and his as
socates believe that he must have struck
something in falling. He could swim like a
rat" and it is doubtful if he would have
drowned if he had not been hurt The boat
men think that the body was dislodged from
Inder the pier by the steamer Idlewild, which
left the slip yesterday afternoon.
Captain Fisher was about fifty years old.
He has been on the boats for thirty-fye years.

years he was on the side-wheel boats. and he
had the Tarrytown route for q long time. He

Esmeralda has not been seen for
several days, and some people say
he is confined by sickness to his
cabin. Others say that on Friday
night he went on board the Itata to
command that vessel in case Shells at

possible to ascertain the truth of these
reports, for no one is allowed to board
the Esmeralda and none of her crew

WAsHINGTON. May 20. - Important
dispatches received from the United
States consul at Acapulco late Monday
afternoon state that the il 1r-
gent steamer Esmeralda' IS nom
combauant because of its ilabili-
ty to get coal. II NAV remain
at anchor in the harbor a rea-
sonable time and obtain provisions,
but the Mexican authorities are
rigidly enforcing their neutrality laws
by refusing it the privilege Of cOaling.
The possibility Of a fight between the
Charleston and the Esmeralda there
fore ceases. The Charleston NAV now
continue its search for the Itata
without the Esmeralda being able
to give the fugitive vessel any
aid. The insurgsnt man of war will
hardly put to sea with the idea of
reaching Panama or some port outside
Of Mexico under sail 1t can do man
euvering from naval point of view
that win aid the Itata. 1t is believed
at the navy department that the fugitive
is also in distress, and the news re-
ceived through the state department
tends to confirm this view.
ACAPULCO, Mex, May 20.-The
Charleston has left the harbor and gone
south in pursuit of the Itata. 1t be-
comes more evident every moment that

The action of tho Chicago & North

switchmen on their entire system at one
time and without notice was deserved
lesson to labor unions. 1t is curious
fact that employment on railroad
usually developes a big headedness that
is hard TO understand, and still harder
to deal with. A few years faithful serv-
ice crops out the feeling that without

that particular individual the corpor-
alton would be fatally crippled. Take
