ALMOST ATE THE CAPTAIN

Aftcr Devourfng Every Scrap of His Dog
Terrible sufferfngs of storm-Tossed

Two Occasions.
PIovINCETowN, MASS, March 1S-Let-
ters from Captain McIitchie, of the overdue
schooner Winnie Laurie. reports her ar
rival at Tarpaulin Cove March II, from
Gonaives, after a terrible passage Of 60
days Captain McRitchie says:
"Five weeks ago 1 was in sight of land off
the Delaware, and three weeks ago was off
New York, but each time was blown to Ber-
muda. The last time was blown nearly to
the Grand Banks of New Found
land, tearing and splitting all
my sails. In one gale my big
boat and SO tons of logwood were swept
away, and the deckhouses and water tanks
stove to pieces, taking all our water, except
the casks that we had between decks. We
got all out of provisions four weeks ago
and nearly starved, all the vessels we met
being nearly as badly off as we were in the
provision line.
''Mv sailors got crazed with fever and
hunger, and planned to eat one of their
number. The last thing they got hold of
was my dog, eating every scrap of him, and
Threatened to eat me the next day. 1 had
my side arms loaded for business, but the
next day we came across the schooner An
drew Adams and obtained some food, and a
few days later we struck steamer bound
for Denmark and obtained another small
supply. We caught some water during a
rain storm and managed to get along. I ex-
perienced more hardships this voyage than
in all my life.'

SENATOR SAWYER IN DANGER.
A Leading Wisconsin Republican Predicts
His Speedy Retirement.

A Leading Wisconsin Republican Predicts
His Speedy Retirement.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-W. a. No
well is postmaster of Milwaukee. and one
of the leading Republicans of Wisconsin.
He has been in Washington the past week,
and has created something of sensation in
political circles by declaring that the Demo-
Gratis would retain control of the Legisla-
ture next winter. He is confident that the
Republicans will carry the State for the
electoral ticket this year, and also expects
they will regain some of the Congressional
districts. Mr.. NOVEL; is we'll informed on
Wisconsin affairs.
The election Of another Democratic Legis-
lature means the retirement of Senator
Phlletus Sawyer, an event which the
younger element of Republicans and the
entire Democracy have long hoped for. 1t
also means the addition of another Demo-
crat to the upper branch of Congress. The
Democrats say they will be we'll satisfied if
Mr. NowelPs prediction comes true in the
main. The last straw to aid the destruction
of the Republican organization was ex-Con-
gresham La Follette's accusation that Sem
ator Sawyer had attempted to bribe him
and the Judge who was to try the Treasury
cases. The Senator has stood at the head
of the Republican party in Wisconsin for
many years. His retirement means new
men and new issues.

FRIGHTFUL SACRIFICES

offered by Religious Maniac, Who Wa
Released From the Asylum Too Soon
He Brains His Entire Family With a
Flat Iron-The Verdict
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18-The steam
ship Monowai. which arrived to-day 25 days
from Sydney, Australia, and days from
Honolulu, brought news that Tauranga,
Auckland, was thrown into excitement
February 9, owing to the murder of his wife
and four little children by Duncan Munro,
stepson of James Bodell, late Mayor of that
town.
Munro had been an inmate of an insane
asylum about three years ago, being afflicted
with religious mania. He had recently
been acting strangely and talking of offer
ing sacrifices to the Most High, but
his relatives feared no harm from
him. On the night of February Munro's
brother spent some hours with the family
before taking leave. When milkman
called at the house in the morning he was
unable to arouse the family. He opened the
kitchen door and found Mrs. Munro and
the eldest boy, years old, on the floor in
pool of blood, their heads being battered in.
The milkman saw Munro on the beach at
the back of the house attired only in night
clothes. The police were called and Mum
70 secured. ~
Under the victims were found fat-iron
and rolling pin covered with blood. In the
front bedroom the bodies of the two little
boys, 3 and 5 years old respectively, were
found in bed with their heads crushed, and
in a cot near by an infant daughter also lay
dead with her skull beaten in. All the
victims were alive when found, but soon
died, with the exception of the Youngest
boy who may recover. The Jury at the in
quest found verdict of wilful murder, and
also that Munro should not have been re-
leased from the asylum.

Big Sum OF Money.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S.-When the
steamship Monowai left Sydney two out of
the three escapers from the French penal
settlement at New Caledonia had Just been
arrested They, while on the islands, per-
petrated one of the cleverest forgeries on
record Bonnefoux and Brewer had COM
pleted their term of incarceration and were
free within the island The third man,
Civale, had completed his term and was
free to return to his native land or 20 else
where if he desired. His special criminal
forte was forgery
A letter was written to one of the French
authorities, asking about large fortune
that had been lett to Jouissant Bonnefoux.
Soon after an answer, under the official
signature and seal, was received, stating the
fortune was q myth. The signature and
seal, however, were all the trio wanted, and
soon a letter was written setting forth that
half million francs had been bequeathed
to Bonnefoux by relatives in Algers The
imitation of the official seal was faultless
and the writing and signature were perfe ct.
A sailor on the steamer Oceanic was taken
into the conspirators' confidence and he
took the letter to France and there
posted it. A few weeks later it
was delivered to Bonnefoux in New Gale
donna, and then the criminals began to oper-
ate.
On the strength of the letter Bonnefoux
cashed drafts for the $50, 900 francs and the
trio made their escape from New Caledonia.
When arrested in Sydney Bonnefoux was
OIL his way to the bank accompanied by
we'll known priest, who was going to iden-
tify him. He had draft for $4,000 francs
in his possession, which he wanted to cash.

Hot Weather in Gold Fields.

The new African gold fields are proving
profitable beyond all expectations 1t was
prophesied about one year ago that the out
put of the Witwatersrandt diggings would
reach 70, 600 ounces in December, 1891, and
one year later 10000 ounces. Already the
first prophesy has been borne out, the aver
age being about rs, 600 ounces month. 1t
is warm thought and not unpleasant still,
that when the latest reports from Natal
were written, from which the facts above
were taken, and when the people of this
country were generally shivering before the
ing under a temperature of 1900 in the
shade, a figure which was reached on sew
eral occasions during Christmas week. All
trade was abandoned, the people being con-
tent to exist without exertion in such an
awful heat

MADE A NIGHT OF 1T.

Daylight Almost Overtakes the Banquet
Given to Senator Hill at savannah-The
Senatorial Party the Lions OF the
Night at Augusta, Ga.
AUGUSTA, GA, March 1S.-The dawn of
day was not many hours distant when the
Hibernian banquet at Savannah came to a
close. this morning, the speeches be-
came particularly warm and enthusi-
astic, and, although occasionally
some speaker would jocularly insist
that the Hibernian society was non-parti-
san organization, the only effect was to
provoke excessive mirth from his follow
ers, and give rise to an e1uberant sugges-
tion from some quarter of the house for
"three cheers for Hill, the next President
of the United States"
This forenoon at II o'clock Senator Hill
had reception in the parlors of the De
Soto Hotel, and shook hands with 500 or
600 Savannah Democrats At 11:30 Sena-
tor Hill and his party were .driven
to the wharf, when a tug was
boarded and brief trip made down the
harbor Savannah asks for So, 900. 900 ap-
preparation tor widening and deepening the
harbor and the Senator asked many ques-
tions of the United States Engineer, who
accompanied the party, as to the exact
needs of the harbor The Savannah people
hope he will support their request for an
appropriation.
Senator Hill and his aids left for this city
at 2 o'clock. The journey was quickly made.
At Waynesboro he was presented with a
bouquet bearing card with the words, ''To
our great Democratic leader who leads but
to victory" and the recipient bowed his
thanks. The Senator was introduced as
''the next President of the United States"
and made brief speech. The Senator ar
rived at Augusta at o'clock, and the even
ing was spent in receptions. In one speech
he said he had no apology to make for his
Southern trip.

Case Most voluminous.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-The Senate
spent some time in executive session this
afternoon in consideration of the pending
treaty by the terms of which the claims OF
the Venezuela Steamship Company against
the Government of Venezuela for damae es
caused by the illegal seizure of their vessels
during the revolutionary movement some
years ago is to be settled by arbitration.
No action was taken in the matter by the
Senate.
There was also renewal of the discussion
which has been had during the recent
executive sessions upon the proposition to
acquaint the public with the nature of the
charges made against Judge Woods and
the proceedings of the Senate while con-
sidering the nomination. 1t was decided
that the testimony taken by the Judiciary
Committee should be made public. as we'll

confirmed. The vote was as follows:

FOR GROVER AND FREE TRADE.

This Is the Platform of Congressman Tom
johnson, of Cleveland-Hilrs Boom
on the Decline-Free Silver Is Not an
Issue.
Congressman Tom johnson, the Cleve-
land Democrat and street railway owner,
was at the Union depot last evening going
to Washington. He still maintains a
ruddy, chubby appearance, and appar-
emily takes life easy as a prosperous
man should. Unlike most Demo-
Gratis, he is a radical, out and out
free trader If he mad his way he would
wipe off the tariff schedule every duty. He
beat his opponent for Congress by telling
the Cleveland wage-earners that protection
is good thing for the capitalist, but the
workmen shared none of the benefits. He
thinks this would be a great country if the
manufacturers were allowed to cope un-
hampered with their competitors in the
world. He believes under full free trade
that the United States would soon be the
strongest commercial nation on earth.
Mr. johnson will be one of the Demo-
cratic national delegates from Ohio, and he
had been at home putting the machine in
order. II am not hero-worshiper, he
said, speaking on the presidential question,
''and I am not tied to anybody, but think
fully per cent of the Democrats in the
country want Cleveland. Personally, am
tor him. You know man never becomes a
President when he seeks the Office. Hills
boom has been declining very rapidly in the
last few weeks. The coming fight will be
made on the tariff The silver question has
been magnifed by its friends and
enemies alike. 1t is not an issue. I voted
to delay the consideration of the bill, but
now that they are determined to push it I
will line up with the majority. Cleveland
is right on Che tariff. He wrote his famous
message before the country was ready for it,
but we are fast drifting to tree
trade. Why, I feel sure Blaine is
q free trader at heart. He showed
his hand too plainly in his reciprocity
scheme. The tariff Il the issue and the
Democrats will win on IL this time. The

junk shop, and yet the Government is max
ing money out of the business of granting
patents.
On inquiry at the Treasury Department,
Senator Faulkner has found that the net
profit that has come to the Government for
patents issued amounts to over "a, 000, 600.
He proposes that the Government shall
use half or three-fourths Of that amount to
build new patent Office, which shall have
ample provision for exhibiting such models
as really mark the progress of invention.
He would have the building located on the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue, in part
carrying out the idea Of taking for Govern
ment purposes all that strip of land between
the Mall and the avenue. Several years
ago plans for q new patent Office were pre-
pared by the supervising architect at the
instance of Senator Sherman, and the old
plans will doubtless be the starting point
for the new project.
