Fowler was thrown backward into the
hold Of the schooner, striking on his head
on the keelson. The unfortunate man
was taken to his home and medical aid at
once summoned. The external evidences
of his injuries were n severe scalp wound
and cut over the eye, and one side of
his face was terribly bruised.
IL is the opinion OF the physicians that
he sustained no fracture of the skull, but
IL is feared that there may be serious in
ternal injuries. Mr.. Gardiner, who wes
on the opposite side of the stage escaped
by grasping rope TO which he clung
until able to extricate himself from his
perilous position.

STRUNG To The RIGGING.
Barbarous and Cruel Treatment Of
an American Ships Crew.
THEIR PERILOUS POSITION,
Captain and Mates Arrested on Arrival
In Boston and Held In a Large sum
for Their Appearsnce-Th Ship was
the Wandering jew.

BosToN, Dec. 8.-If the statement OF the
crew are to be relied on, a revelation OF
the most barbarous and cruel OF treat
ment was brought to light yesterday af-
ternoon by the arrival at this port of the
American ship Wandering Jew. The yes
sci hauled up at Constitution wharf short
ly after noon, and in about an hour had
been safely docked and made fast to the
wharf.
1t was then that Deputy Marshal Nc
Donald OF Commissioner Hallett's Office
and Officers Russell and Mccarthy Of the
harbor police made known their presence
and In a remarkably short time had placed
under arrest the captain and the first
and second mates of the ship. They were
Captain David g. Nichols, First Mate
Robert T. Crosby and Second Mate Daniel
McCorkill. They were arrested on war
rants issued by United States Comnis-
sioner Fiske on the charge of assault and
battery on several members OF the crew.
While the vessel was In the harbor OF
Manila, East Indies, last July one OF the
crew, Fred Tinberg by name, got into
quarrel with one of the officers, and, as
result, was strung up, so it Is alleged, to
the rigging. The Others OF the crew re-
monstrated with the mates and
Asked Them to Release the Sailor
from his horrible position, but, 1t is
claimed, that this the captain and the
mates refused to 90. The sailors asked
permission to see the American consul at
the port, but II is claimed by the sailors
this privilege was denied them.
They then refused to do any further
work until Tinberg was released from his
position in the rigging, but the officers re-
fused to do as asked by the crew. In
stead, soldiers were called in, and it is
maintained that all of the crew, including
the following named were placed in irons {:
Christopher johnson, Richard Williams,
John Riley, Anil Morrill,, John Adams
and Fred Tinberg.
After the gendarmes had left the ship,
it is claimed that the two mates took the
prisoners, who were in irons, and triced
them up to the spanker boom by their
hands. They were compelled to stay in
this position for fully an hour, so it is
claimed, Or until they had all become un-
conscious. They were then taken down,
and, for time longer, compelled to stay
in the irons, lsshed TO the ship. All this
occurred on or about.July 13. Afterwards
they were released and the ship started on
its return trip TO this port. IL arrived
yesterday with a valuable cargo of hemp
and sugar.
One OF the sailors, John Adams, was
badly injured, so he says, from his bar
barous treatment. Shortly after their ar
rest the captain and the mate were taken
to the Post Office building and arraigned
before Commissioner Fiske. 1t was too
late in the day to hear the cases then and
they were continued until today.
Captain Nichols was held in $4,000 and
Mates Crosby, McCorkill in $1,000 each for
their appearance in the United States
Court.

SHERMAN SILVER LAW.
Propositions Of Mr.. Williams Before
Coinage Committee.
AGAINST REPEATING THE LAW.
The Army Appropriation Bill Reduction
of the Fee for Registered Maii-Repre-
sentative Harter's banking BiiI-Pro-
posed Changes In Our Revenue Laws.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The House COM
mittee on coinage met yesterday to dis
cuss bill for the repeal of the Sherman
silver law. Representative Williams OF
Massachusetts submitted the following in
lieu of the other bills to repeal that law
now before the committee:
Section THAT the secretary OF the treas
ury discontinue from and after the first
bullion authorized and directed by the act en-
titled: can act directing the purchase OF sill
YER bullion and the issue OF treasury notes
thereon and for other purposes" approved
Section 2-That after the passage OF this act
all deposits received for the redemption OF
the circulating notes OF national banks shall
be placed with the treasurer OF the United
States to the respective credits OF the nation
al banks making such deposits, % ana All ns the
deposits which are applicable to like deposits
before the passage OF the said act OF July IA.
1890.
Mr.. Williams, in explaining his bill,
said that instead OF repeating the sher-
the integrity OF the notes outstanding
Hereunder, his bill directs the secretary
OF the treasury to discontinue the purchase
OF silver.
Mr.. Williams bill also proposes to
amend section six of the Sherman act.
standing with the treasurer to the credit
OF national banks for deposits made to
Redeem the Circulating Notes
of such banks shall be converted into the
treasury as a miscellaneous receipt.
Mr.. Williams said that when the Sher-
man act became law there was s55, 900 900
of such funds on deposit In the treasury
This was regarded as a trust fund and
had always been treated as such. There
was no rightful authority to turn 1t into
the treasury. There Is now no fund held
as a security for the notes outstanding.
Mr.. Williams proposed by the second
section of his bill, that all deposits here
after received for the redemption OF the
circulating notes OF national banks shall
be placed with the treasury to the credit
OF the banks making them. Mr.. Will
Jams realizes that the withdrawal from
circulation Of the present balance, name
ly s25, 900 900 OF the amount which was
turned into the general treasury at the
time of the passage of the Sherman act
would prove an embarrassment in the
present condition of the treasury.
At the same time he thinks that il Is
proper that the present practice should
not be continued. His proposition evoked
considerable discussion pro and con,
which was only cut off by the arrival %
the hour OF adjournment.

A Comprehensive Banking Bii.

WASHINGTON, Dec. SIN the House
yesterday Representative Harter OF Ohio,
introduced a comprehensive banking bill,
which provides for the perpetuation OF
the national banking system and the res
toration OF state bank notes on basis
which Mr.. Harter considers absolutely
safe, open to no reasonable objection and
certain to be acceptable and efficient. He
says no bank notes in the world, excepting
possibly those OF the Bank OF England,
and hardly those, are so perfectly secured
as, under this bill, would be the notes OF
any OF our state or national banks, how
ever remotely situated.

SPRINGER Is ANXIOUS.
He Wants the Electoral College Abolished
and His Plan Substituted.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Sit is said that
means committees is anxious to proceed
at once with tariff legislation, so as to
carry to completion the general plan in-
augurated at the last session. His plan
is not likely 10 meet with the approval OF
the full committee. however. That pol
icy was never intended to apply To any
hut the situation then existing, with the
Democrats in control of but one House.
With both houses of Congress and the
executive n little way ahead, "a PROPOSE
tion TO proceed as before cannot meet
with favor.
Springer has in mind, which he hopes 20
succeed with and which he is going To put
his best energy into At the last session
he introduced resolution for constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
abolition OF the Electoral College and for
n change in the time of the meeting of
congress. This he proposes TO press to
the front mt once. His scheme is to give
each state as many electoral votes as it
has members and senator's, as now, but
TO divide the electors of each state be-
tween the candidates in proportion TO the
size of the popular vote received by each,
the population being divided into units.
Congress. he proposes, shall expire in
December following the general cleo
tion, and the new congress shall
convene in January following the
election. The term of the president he
wants TO extend to six years, and more
than one term prohibited. The terms Of
congressman he wants extended to three
years. During the last session he did not
get much consideration for this propo-
sition, but he believes that the present
time is opportune, and that he can press
il upon the attention of the public aud
congress so as to secure favorable consid-
GRAFTON. The committee to which the
resolution was referred will hold meet
ing on Friday. and it is expected that it
will take the matter UP.

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
House Managers Hope to See It Sent Z,
the Senate at Once.

house manhsers rope tO see III sent to
the Senate at Once.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The preparation
OF the army appropriation bill was com
pleted in subcommittee yesterday after
noon and the bill will be reported to the
full committee on military affairs tomor-
row, probably, and to the House at ar
early day. The bill deals simply with ap-
preparations absolutely necessary for the
service. There is strong sentiment in
the committee adverse to the large ex
penditures for army transportation and
mileage OF officers.
1t is probable that the Notifications and
District of Columbia bills will be reported
to the House next week, and 1t Is the
hope OF the House managers that these
two bills and the army bill can be sent
over to the Senate before the Christmas
recess. The appropriations committee
will also report and push to speedy pass
age an urgent deficiency appropriation
bill.
