Is CAPTAIN Norton Lost?

The friends of Captain franklin L. Norton,
who, with his wife, niec,, engineer and crew,
sailed from New London, Conn.,, on November
"a last yoar, ia his amall steam yacht OF the
life saving pattern, on his way to Toulos, Franco,
have evidently come to the conclusion that the
at has been wrecked and the pas engers drown.
cd In Surrogste's Court in New York on Tues
day petition was fled for the probate OF his will,
executed ten days before he sailed, but which has
not been placed on file MIS-. Harriet d Warren,
the captains sister. is the oay surviving next Of
kin. 1t is presumed, however, that porsion OF
the estate will go to Thomas Rickerly, who has
lived with the captain many years, aud has as
sumed his name. The value Of tho estate is not
given. Captain Norton Was an inventor OF boats
intended for the lifo-saying service, and wa,
President of the Norton Construc ion OK 1sny.
Negotiations were pending in France, Austria ard
italy for letters p'tent on his invention. The
object Of his trip VIZ: to complete these negotia-
tons and 10 submit his yacht to the inspection OF
the naval officials OF those countries.

The State Debt.

interview for come of it's members.
II ne has done so the nature OF HE
ansser ia only known to few persons.
It is stated that something definite and important
in connection with the debt will be announced in
few days. This is supposed to mean thst Mr..
Elia's arrival in New York would enable the
Ocott committee to soon place before tho Virgins
authorities copy of the plan ofsettlement agreed
on By the bondhoidars in London. After that is
done tho Governor would no doubt call the dobt

The NeR Orle ms Affair.

There is reason to believe that in some de-
tails the report OF the Nav Orleans grand
jaiy differs from the report made to the De-
psrtment of Justics by District Attorney
Grant, and notably in the matter of the ma
tions!ity of the victims. Tue grand jury's
report found that sight o. them we're nstur-
alzad American cit!z 3Ds, and that one had
declared his intention 10 become naturalizad.
District Atty GRANITE Ia believed found that
one of the victims was OF Italian nationality,
but was an escaped convict, and that snoth-
er's nationality was so doubtful as to make
1t unsafe TO heard sn opinion. So. at any
rate the Italian com plaint will be narrowed
down to at least two per5on5-one An es-
capped conviction although the y oited
States has no naturaliZ alton treaty with Ia
ly, the Last named nation has invariably,
through comfy, recognized our naturalizsd
otizsns as free from smeDability to their De-
tive government. When the case OF these
two victims Ia considered the question
will Immediately arise, Were the treaty
st pnlations With Itlay broken? This ques-
ton is likely to figure in the correspondence
bet ween the two governments IS soon as the
italian government is resry 10 fall reasonably into
tia usual diplom itic method Of tresting subject
respecting which they take issue with another
nation. Unless it appears clearly that the treaty
has been violated the Italian case falls to the
ground, and the leading diplomatic minds OF the
State Department maintain that this fsct cannot
be made 10 appear.
Detective O'MalIey has made long statement
about the Itali, al troubles. He Saws his success
a, a detective used the city detectives and phi.
vate detectives to be jealous Of him long ago.
