WHAT DAVENPORT CLAIMED.
Has No Desire to Villify the Officers
of the NiDSiC,

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-Lieutenant r.
G. Davenport stated to THE CALL CORE
spondeDt to-day that the published state
ment that he claimed the Nipsic was saved
through his efforts and that he was the
only cool-headed officer on the beach at
the time Of the Samoan disaster does him
great injustice. as will be clearly shown in
the court of inquiry now being held at the
Navy Department. He said he never
made such an utterly foolish claim, for it
would be casting discredit on every man
aboard the Nipsic. he asked the public to
await the result Of the court to show just
what he claimed and proved. Davenport
also said the statement attributed to his
counsel, Lieutenant Wainwright. that
''some one may get hurt" by the testimony
before the court was not true, as VAIN
right emphatically states there will be no
attempt to injure any one but simply TO
vindicate Lieutenant Davenport.

1t is stated that Spuller's failure to form
a Cabinet was due to the difficulty be-
tween himself and President Carnot as to
the admission or exclusion of COnstans as
a member of the Ministry. President Car

over the possibility of protracted crisis
that he was considering the advisability Of

head of his Ministry, disp ayed one of the

South of the Snowies.

Folsom, Mont, Feb. 10, 1893.
Editor ARGUS.
The Mnsselshell country has passed
through fifteen days in succession OF the
severest weather ever known in this Sec
ton. There was no two weeks of the
winters OF 1857 that equalled it; only
once did the thermometer go above zero in
that time, and then but for "a few hours.
The average must have been between fiji
teen and twenty degrees below for the
whole period. Cattle have lost flesh amaz-
ingly, but were in such good condition
previous to the storm that but few have
persisted.
Sheep nave been fed literally, but never
theless there has been a considerable thin
ming out OF the weaklings. No serious losses
have been reported, all the sheep ranches
in this vicinity being well supplied with
hay.
Several snow birds were found frozen to
death, and even jack rabbits were SO be-
numbed that the writer stepped on one in
his bed under the snow and killed another
with "a pitchfork.
Today friday the mercury has been up
to forty above zero, and the winds of yes
terday and last night laid bare some OF the
ridges, so tina there is now a little
encouragement to the poor rangers to
rustic.
Nearly a foot of snow fell during the late
storm, and until we get a good, moving
wind it will be hard on stock.
