Among the Lumber Camps.
GREENvILLE, March 23.--The lumber
men throughout the Moosehead Lake re-
gion are rushing operations to the ut
most, trying to take advantage of the
shedding before the roads soften up.
There is considerable timber still on the
yards, but at present the prospects are
that nearly the whole cut secured this
winter will reach the landings within
the next two weeks. Nearly go, 900, 900
feet of lumber will come into the lake
this spring, and the entire Kennebec cut
will aggregate 140,000,0 900 feet. The
snow in the woods on the head waters of
the Penobscot and around the lake is
still two feet deep, and altogether the
numbering season has been very favora-
BILE one.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March ga large
quantity of wreckage was found strewed
along the beach between Quonocontaug
Point and Noyes Point about six miles
east of Watch Hill, today. The wreck
age consists of camp stools, chairs,
spring mattresses, pieces of a sofa, frag-
ments of a medicine chest, the top of a
vessels house, clothing and cabin stairs
marked ''H. w." and the vessels yawl
with her bow smashed. Papers found
indicate that the wreckage came from
the schooner Harry White, from New
York, which must have sunk
or been run down by
another vessel in that vicinity. The
Harry White was reported to have
passed through Hell Gate three days ago.
Whether the crew was saved is not
known. UP to a late hour tonight, no
bodies had washed ashore.
The Harry White was built in Bucks
port, Me-, in 1870. She was 107 feet
long, 27 feet wide and of tonnage of ILL.,

White, of Bucksport Me-, and her
captain was Ephraim Hopkins of the

6 a. M, towing the barges Tivoli and
Samuel E. Spring. The latter parted
and rough sea caused her to part her
chains and at about noon she drifted
toward the beach. The wind shifted to
the southwest and she made sail and was
standing off and on at dark gradually
drifted northward The indications are
that if the gale shifts to the northwest
before morning she may be blown off.

Malay's Making Trouble for the British

SINGAPORE, March 23.-It is believed
here that the Malay rising against Brit
ish rule in Pahang will prove to be a
much more formidable movement than
at first expected. Some time ago, the
British resident and the Sultan of Pahang
with strong Malay force, left Pulau
Laweh for Temerlohe to take action
against Orang Kyah, the insurgent lead
er. The British force was commanded
by Major McCallum. 1t is reported
here today that large body of Malays,
under Orang Kyah, have attacked
Temerlohe and captured that station. 1t
is said that number of Sikh police
were killed in the engagement which
preceded the capture. Details of the af-
fair are meagre.

Some Reasons Why Bismarck Has Not

Not Anxious to Assume the Blame OF
Others Blunders--Uprising of the
nIalays.
BERLIN, March 2S.-It has transpired
that the sudden illness of Prince Bis
marck on Monday last was much more
serious than first reported to the public.
The Prince has not of late been in the
best of health. His doctors have de-
clared that complete abstention from po-
litical excitement is the first condition of
his health, 40 years of hard work having
affected his nerves. Prince Bismarck ev-
identity has not considered the admins
tration of Lauenberg as coming within
the description, and, like Napoleon in
exile, he has played the part of ruler in
the Elba Of his little duchy. Other rea-
sons have been given besides those of
health for Prince Bismarck'S S absence
from Berlin. His friends have declared
that the Prince would think twice before
coming to Berlin at the present moment.
He will take good care not to play the
part of lightning conductor, and to
keep out of situation in which the par
ties in the Reichstag would be glad to
shift their embarrassment upon third
person in order to escape the necessity
of drinking themselves what they have
brewed. Tfhe positive directions Of his
physicians have, however, been the prin-
cipal reason why Bismarck has recently
confined his craftsmanship to the district
assembly at Ratsbourg. 1t appears that
on Monday he was suddenly stricken
with alarming symptoms. He had sew
eral fainting fits, and for time it was
feared that the results would be serious.
Prompt medical attention enabled the
Prince to rally, but he is still very weak
and far from canvalescent. When he
was first stricken, appearances were SO
unfavorable that kilograms were sent out
stating his dangerous condition, but he
rallied in time to justify his family in
having the kilograms Cancelled.
the suggestion in some quarters that
Bismarck might be called to the helm OF
affairs again, that among the numerous
kilograms of inquiry received at Fried
erichsruhe, when Bismarck's illness be,
came known, there was mono from the
Kaiser, although there is not the slight
est doubt that the Kaiser was promptly
informed of the x-Chancellor's condi-
ton. In view of Bismarck's illness, as
Indicating the uncertainty that he may
survive until another birthday, prepare
tions for the celebration of his 77th
birthday are everywhere being reboubled
and April 1st will be memorable in the
history of Germany.
Count Eulenburg has been offered and
accepted the presidency of the Prussian
council.

MRS. TAYLOR'S INJURIES.
Two Versions as to How She Was Cut
the Neck.

Two Versions to How She Was Cut in
the Neck.
Mrs. Mary Taylor, q co,ored woman living in
Linger's alley, not far from 2lst and NJ streets.
was cut in the neck yesterday afternoon by u
young colored man named Jack Hughes, who
made his escape after being pursued more than
three miles by Policeman rarham. State ments
differ as to the circumstances under which the
cutting was done. but the question of the
woman's injuries being of serious nature is
undisputed. DIR. Ewing responded to a call
for physician and he succeeded in stopping
the flow of blood and saving the woman's life.
From one statement of the affair it appears
that n young negro, known as Jack Hughes.
entered the house and asked for something to
eat. Mrs. Taylor said she Ia nothing there 20
eat. whereupon he became angry and proceeded
to raise row, during which he used his knife
with bad effect, the blade strikin. her
near the left ear. Another story OF the affair
is that when Hughes attempted to strike Mrs.
Taylor her grandson Robt. Lee, took her part
and during scuffie between them Mrs. TAYLOR
attempted to save her grandson and received
the cut which wGs intended for Lee. Hughes
then escaped and the officer followed him rs
far as Tenleytown, where he was lost sigh; Of
The officer subsequently arrested Lee for dis.
orderly conduct aud vagrancy. 1t WAS i'll tee
timony that Lee pursued Hughes after he did
the cutting and the judge therefore disiri sse d
the charge OF disorderly. On the charge OF
vagrancy he was given fifteen days.
