Several Vessels Sight the Upturned
Ship Off Cape Flattery.
PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.), Feb. 49,
Since the unknown derelict was sighted off
Cape Flattery ten days ago by the bark
entine Retriever, four vessels, the Ivan
hoe, Theobald, Klicllitat and Kennebec,
have arrived, and report seeing the wreck
None of the vessels were close enough to
determine her identity. The descriptions
given seem to convey the impression that
it is the ship Detroit. This presumption
has gained considerable credence among
shipping men, inasmuch as none OF the
the vessels arriving lately have reported
speaking the Detroit. The tug which was
sent to cruise for the wreck returned and
reported that a succession of southerly
and westerly gales and severe snow
storms precluded the possibility of max
ing strict search. The tug Wanderer
left tonight to continue the search.

New York in 1883, where he acted as
Secretary for the Purchasing Agent until
1887, when he succeeded Salela as Pur-
chasing Agent. and in 1889 became agent
for the liquidator. During the time he
was agent he kept the books of the COM
pany as far as they related to purchases
and disbursements made by him. The

came from Paris TO New York in 1882 to
take position with the Panama Com
pany under instructions of De Lesseps.
He did not have all the books with him
which pertained to purchases he had
made for the company. He was told he
must go and get them during the recess.

Jesse Seligman's bank during the time he
was Purchasing Agent.
Ibid you ever use any moneys of the
Panama Company for other purposes than
making disbursements which you were
officially authorized to make ?" was asked
by Patterson.
mo, sir; never" promptly replied the
witness.
The witness was excused until after
noon, when he was instructed to appear
with all the books and documents.

mittee, was asked what became OF the
books pertaining to his work as Secretary
of the American Committee.
II surrendered them to General Bris-
tow six months ago." answered Colne.
A recess till afternoon was taken.

| Harsh-SOundinE Names in the North ant.
Liquid Sounds in the South.
In looking over the aboriginal names
upon map of the United States it is
curious and interesting to note that
consonants predominant in the higher
| and vowels in the lower latitudes In
Maine, for example, are found such
harsh-sounding names as Pamedmu-
cook. Androscoggin, Mattawamkeag,
Pongokwaken, while in Florida are
Tallahassee, Suwanee, kissimee and
Appalachee, with vowels and liquid
sounds in majority. The same pc
cNliarity may be noted on scanning a
map of Europe. G,.tturals predominate
far to the southwark. in sunny
Italy, there is profusion of such
euphonious names as Palermo, We
roma, Campobello, etc. Even in the
British islands. covering so few degrees
of latitude, there is a marked differ
ence between the burr of the High
lander and the soft speech of the native
of southern England. A close observ-
er may detect similar difference be-

upper region of the Susquehanna, in
New York state, and that of the inha pi
tants of the eastern shore of Maryland
The influence of climate on language is
particularly noticeable in the speech of
those who have lived but compare
lively short time in the southern states
of the union. The tendency to intro
duce vowel sound to round out word
is noted liz the southern pronunciation
of such words as electoral and Tex
an" which are frequently changed to
ELECTORAL" and ''Texian." Thackeray
was amused at the insistence of serv-
ants in southern hotels in addressing
him as Mr.. ''Thackuary."
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based upon
the contrast of the stiffness which
usually pervades southern lands with
the stormy inquietude of northern
countries. Cloudless skies, for months
at a time, characterize the climates of
Italy and Texas, while armament en-
tirely free from clouds is rare in Maine
or in Norway. 1t requires. of course,
greater effort to be heard in regions
which are swept by winds and storms
than in quiet southern latitudes. and
to be heard distinctly amid the noise
and confusion of the elements words
must be used which contain many con-
sonants. Among the inha bitants of
more tropical climes the tendency is
toward soft and musical cadences. and
travellers relate that in regions of
South America, such as Peru and Vene-
zuela, where atmospheric disturbances
are rare, the natives almost chant the
phrases Of Observation-Disclosures
