WASHINGTON, March 24.-Secretary
Hoke Smith today rendered his first de-
cision. In was case of the Southern
Pacific railroad. 1t involved the ques-
ton of the right of that company to lands
within its granted limits and the limits
of the grant to the Atlantic & Pacific
railroad, basing it's claim on the ground
the latter company had never complied
with its requirements of the grant, in
the matter of locating its road, and the
forfeiture of its grant. The secretary
holds, however, the Southern Pacific
Company had acquired no title to the
lands in question under its grant. This
decision operates to open these lands,
aggregating many thousands of acres in
southern California, to settlement and
entry. The commissioner of the general
land Office is accordingly directed to take

A shIpwreoked Crew saved.

PORTLAND, Me-, March 24.-The steam
ship Alcides, of the Donaldson line, ar
rived at this port this afternoon from
Glasgow. She brings the news that the
bark Louis is now either derelict or at
the bottom of the sea. The Alcides left
Glasgow on March 11th. On Sunday,
March 10Th, a hurricane was encount-
cred. This lasted until the afternoon OF
the next day, when the bark Louis was
sighted, flying signals of distress. The
bark was in sinking condition, and the
crew were on deck waving signals for
help. This was in north latitude 43 :19,
and west longitude 81 :53, about 25 miles
east of the banks of Newfoundland. A
lifeboat was launched from the Aicides
and the crew of ten men rescued. Cap
tain Semb, of the wrecked bark, says

JUDGE DEADY'S DEATH
Further Particulars Concerning His
Last Illness.
BAR WILL FRAME RESOLUTIONS
The u S. Court Adjourned Till Mon
day by Judge Gilbert, and Doors
Draped in Mourning.
BAR WILL FRAME RESOLUTIONS

PORTLAND, March 24.-Although not
unexpected. 1.-THE announcement of the
death of Judge Deadly elected the pro-
foundest expressions of regret from the
members of the bar, and out of respect
a meeting will be held in the United
States courtroom at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning, for ithe purpose of taking
proper steps toward the adoption of res
olutions. Arrangements will also be
made for the attendance in body of the
bar at the funeral.
The flags on the federal building and
county court house were lowered to
half-mast this morning. The doors of
the United States court room were
draped in mourning, as were the doors
of all the offices connected with the
court.
Judge Gilbert, who has Just arrived
from the Sound, opened the United
States court this morning, and, after
making a brief announcement of Judge
Deady's death, adjourned till Monday
morning.
The ailment was spinal trouble and
bright's disease. The former was in
duced by the judges long, unbroken
sittings on the bench, and extended to
the base of the brain, producing an irri-
tation and causing partial paralysis of
the lower limbs. Other complications
followed, bringing on bright's disease.
Until about two years ago the combi-
nation of troubles was so slight as to
offer little Inconvenience, but since that
time the judges condition gradually
became more and more serious until, by
DR.. Strong's direction, he took trip to
the Sandwich islands, which afforded
him but temporary relief. Returning
home, he resumed his seat and worked
as continuously as ever and with fully
as much energy. During the time Judge
Deadly wore the judicial ermine he won
the reputation of being one of the most
industrious workers on the United
States bench.
About six months ago a dreaded turn
for the worse was manifested in stroke
of partial paralysis. which rendered the
judges steps slow and laborious. Still
he continued TO work until about two
weeks ago, when he was confined to his
room, and from that time forth he never
left his apartments.
Yesterday most of visitors called at
The Hill to make inquiries concerning
the judges condition, and few of his
most intimate friends were admitted to
the sick room. Among them was Hon.
A Rueh of Sa1aro ord ,yba,, tbo i,1tle,o
saw his old friend he greeted him dis
tinctly with, ''How are you, Bush ?''
But that was all; for he almost ip.me-
diately lapsed into a state of heavy
stupor.

SAN Francisco, March 24.-From the

unusually prosperous one for the fruit

 "Dennis O'Rcilly? What does this mean?" he asked himself in puzzled speculation. ''In this a mere coinci- deuce, or am on the verge of an im- portant discovcry?"
 Mrs. Maynard interrupted his medi- tations.
 "It is the man who claimed to have a is it not, MT. North? The name cer- tainly seems familiar to me, as if had heard it recently"
 "Why, yes," answered North, too much bewildercd by this unexpected turn of events to consider his words very carefully, ''he is certainly the man; but why does he come here? And why should he inquire for you?"
 ''These are questions that I might moro naturally ask of you," said Mrs. Maynard, little coldly, as she regarded North with a glance of surprise. els he not acting upon your instructions? l understood you to say, few days ago, that you had seen this man and had taken measures to gain possession of his prctCndcd evidence. Have you | decided to abandon that investigation, | in view of our recent disaster in New | York?"
 There was almost the suggestion of a l refined sheer in these last words. Had North been attending to them he would have detected the subtle sarcasm and nlso the desperate pain that forced it l from her; but his mind was at that mo- ment otherwise absorbed. Mrs. May nard's words had let in a flood of light upon the mystery that had been per | picking him. Dennis O'Reilly's ap- pearance there was fully accounted for.
 Another singular throw of the dice,'' he said to himself, with grim satisfac- tion, 'and, as usual, it Is in my favor. l had actually almost forgotten this man who was the real cause of my com ing to K, and had no very san- guinc expectations of being able to find him, my efforts in that direction thus far having totally failed; and behold he turns up without an intervention or purpose of mine, all ready to play Nolrs game right into my hands! Well, have some claim upon him anyway, 1T view of his ovcrtures to Hunter anG Ketchum; and if he is trying to play 6 double game, shall bring him sharply to book!''
 With this reflection, North turned tc take leave of Mrs, Maynard.
 ''Thcrc must have been some misun derstanding about this matter, Mrs Maynard" he said, suavcly. II cer tainly do not wish you to be annoyed by this person, since can conduct thu investigation without your direct as sistancc- I will see the man nt once and ascertain whether or not he rcall, possesses information that will be val uable to us. will devote as much tim as possible to this investigation ant will call from time to time to repor progress; shall I?"
 The permission was coldly granted and North with a bow of farewell with c drew from the drawing room, curiou - about his coming interview with Dcnni c O'Reilly.

A Costly Wardrobe.

There was an auction sale of young woman's wardrobe the other day in New York. The young woman was the daughter of a millionaire who died about six weeks ago, the auctioneer said, and she was disposing of her wardrobe because she had to go into mourning. Thirty women and as many men attended the sale. The bidding was lively, but the prices brought were nothing in comparison to the alleged cost An elaborately-trimmed evening costume of royal purple velvet, with gold embroidery, which originally cost so the auctioneer said, five thousand dollars, was knocked down for seventy
 five dollars. A Nile green silk evening dress brought seventeen dollars. A fur trimmed jacket was sold for sixty-five dollars The other articles were sold at prices ranging from one to fifteen dollars The entire proceeds were not more than five hundred dollars

WANT NO GARTER BUCKLES.

Men will Have Nothing to Do with FaD
 cy Emery Nobody Can See.
 The Bay state firm that some time since endeavored to popularize the in- sane fad for gentlemen of wearing cost ly and ornate buckles on their garters has come to grief. It failed months ago and the major portion of its stock, designed for mems wear, now orna- ments the goods of theatrical boot and shoe maker of this city, says the New York Mail and Express.
 ''Thc failure to popularize the garter buckle idea for gentlemen" said a Broadway vendor of the elastic bands, or harness, 'is easily explained. Gar tcrs for men are made for comfort, not for show, for there is really no more objectionable sight than a mans legs bound about the calves with yard or two of elastic ribbon or web. Then, again, men seldom eXpcnd money upon articles of dress or adOrnmcnt, unless the same are to be exposed to the gaze of others. With woman the reverse is quite as true. They spend fabulous sums upon their underwear, and it is never seen by mortal eye, except their own, unless it be on wash days, when it is hung upon the line to dry.
 'When man spends fifty cents or a dollar for pair of gartcrs he has about reached his limit for this portion of his dress, and for wear he would not double the figures if each garter had a buckle set with diamonds of the first water. Buckles for ladies' gartcrs are quite the thing, and l often receive specimens that are most magnificent and valuable for which I am asked to furnish the required and desired amount of silk elastic"

\ Circular KainDoN.

Many of the best scientists and philo- sophcrs declare that a circular rain bow IS one of the impossibilitics, and give learned reasons in support of their opinions. About two years ago this idea was exploded by Dr. Fleming, who observed and made scientific notes of one he saw in the Welsh mountains. He says: "On September 80, 1890, we raouutcd Finstcrrehorn, and while near the top of the peak were treated to the rare sight of circular rainbow, the phenomena lasting about half an hour, and forming complete circle. . A second clrclc was also visible. We were near the summit of the peak when the first of the party observed it, and from that point the face of the noun tain is almost perpendicular, giving 6 SIalenIid viavp."

 North had folded Mrs. Dunlzirk's let ter, replaced it in the envelope, and tossed it down on the table again while he was speaking these last words. He now rose and stood idly gathering up his notebook, pencil and papers, as if preparing to leave.
 While he was thus engaged the foot man entered, bearing to Mrs. Maynard small scrap of paper, which he pre- sented with an air of dignifed disdain.
 The lady glanced at the paper for an instant with a rather blank expression; then with a sudden gleam of compre- hension she held it out toward North.
 ''This has as much interest for you, perhaps, as for myself, MT. North," she said.
 'The inquiry was for Mrs. Maynard" ventured Williams.
 "Very well, Williams" said Mrs. Maynard. dismissing him.
 By this time North had with a little curiosity scanned the paper that she had given him, and his expression was even more blanzly amazed than hers had been. It was only name that way

Many Adventurous Spirits Offering to Join
 the Search for Verhoem
 There is a weird infatuation about arctic expeditions which renders it easy at the present day to find plenty of vol unteers anxious to join proposed ex- ploring party. Americus Symmes, of Louisville, Ky, has received letters from between thirty and forty young young men who are eager for informa- tfop and desirous of being selected. The majority of the inquirers are from Ken lucky, but some are from. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Canada. They give their age, height, weight and qualifications for such an arduous undertaking. Most of them are under thirty years old and and those writing from Michigan and Canada dwell upon the fact that they are accustomed to a frigid climate and, therefore, especially fitted to en- dure the rigor of the unknown north. So far as known but one physician, Dr. Rice, of Sandoval, H., has ap- piled for information and offered to be one of the number.
 ''I have left the letters at home," said MT. Symmes when seen by Courier Journal man, "but the tenor of them is about the same, the writers asking for definite information as to conditions and details and giving reasons why they would be valuable acquisitions to such an expedition. Many of them express great confidence in the Symmesonian theory and that an exploration con- . ducted on that line would be successful.
