In accordance with directions from
Secretary Carlisle, the regulations of the
Treasury Department in relation to the
registration of Chinese laborers have
been modified so as to dispense with the
attaching of photographs to applications
of Chinese for certificates of residence,
under the act of May l, 1892, and re9uir-
ing only the affidavit of one credible
witness to the fact of the residence and
lawful status of the applicant within the
United States.

A PHANTOM SHIP.

1t was fearsome craft, veritable an
cient mariner of ship that was sighted
by Captain Squirting of the British ship
Drumcraig, down at the Horn, few
months ago. The story of this weird
wAnderer of the seas is brought to San
Francisco by Capt. Atkinson, who has
just arrived by rail to take charge of the
British ship Goodrich. He saw Capt.
Squirting at Queenstown and had the tale
direct from him. Capt. Atkinson is well
known here to be truthful man and one
not given to the spinning of bas e'ess
yarns. He vouches also for the veracity
of Capt. Spunilg.
The Drumcraig left here six montl
ago and had speedy run as far as CaI Q
Horn. There the usual westerly winds
shifted to dead ahead, and sea full of
broken ice, many of the bergs being very
large, made navigation troublesome and
perilous. One stormy morning, just at
daybreak, when the snow was falling so
thickly that it was not possible to see
more than ships length ahead, "a mount
ain-like berg drifted past the vessel.
1t was so near, scarcely a cables length
away, that but for slight mshap, which
had just made it necessary to heave-to
'the Drumcraig, the vessel would have
collided with the berg. As it was, the
ice mountain came so near that officers
and crew all saw the grewsomS burden
that it bore "a full-rigged barque, with
sail all set. frozen into the berg, and
shrouded in ice from mainmast top to
copper bottom.
The berg and its ice bound. prisoner
were fully fifteen min"tes drifting past
the Drumcraig, and during that time all
hands were closely studying the weird
apparition. The vessel rested high on
the berg, ten or twelve feet from the
water line, and was buried in the ice as
far up as her rail. The ice that was fro7-
en- over the vessel appeared to be two
three feet thick on the side next the oil
servers. Capt Squirting thought it
could not be more than that, because
with his glasses he could easily make out
the outlines through the ice, and could
see that she was of wood and had a cop
per bottom.
FROM the dim outlines he guessed that
she was a sailing barque of ancient pat
tern, of about the size and appearance of
New Bedford whaler. But there were
left no boats, no davits, and not enough
of the rigging to decide that question.
The three masts, the sails, the spars
and gear were all shrouded with thick
casing of ice, through which only their
dark outlines could be seen. Some of
the crew imagined they could see bodies
of men in the rigging. but Captain Spur
ring was doubtful, for his glasses did
not Increase the resemblance.
The explanation of the ice-locked mys-
terry is that the vessel must have
grounded on a projecting edge of tie
berg, tOppled over against the wall, and
there rested until she was frozen so fast
that no movement of tue ice mountain
could dislodge her. Then the ice had
gradually grown up around her until her
imprisonment was complete.

THE BENNINGToN BANNER FRIDAY. APRIL 81 .l8es

this new way of conducting one, and the
third time the embarrassed manager was
obliged to come, when he exclaimed that
towing to the corpse having been mis-
laid, there will be nothing further to-
day" The assembly made preparations
to depart, and when finally the last great
coat had been removed from the hall
table the coffin containing the 'mislaid
corpse" was discovered. Having re-
gained tfis important adjanct,s the
funeral proceeded.
The Free Press commenting on the
above, explains The story of a mis-
laid corpse, which drifts back to Bur
hngton from Chicago, is founded on
fact" The mishap did not occur in any
colonial mansion" nor in the old En-
glesby place, nor was the coffin missing
The corpse-that of an infant-was lost
for time, and could not be found for a
time, and could not be found when the
hour came for the funeral; and the
ceremony consequently suffered an en-
barrassing delay. The little body was
at last found in the deep drawer of a
bureau, in which it had been placed
while the inside of the coffin was receiv-
ing some final touches of funeral adorn-
ment. The drawer was closed by some
one, who did not notice its contents;
and the person who laid the corpse there
had perhaps left the house without
mentioning the matter, or at any rate
did not discover the loss until just in
time to prevent an adjournment of the
funeral. 1t was not funny affair for
those most nearly concerned, but it had
an amusing side for others.

A despatch from San Francisco of Sat
urday says: A customs official, who
has made careful study of the Chinese
question, threw new light on the case
yesterday by giving a novel reason for
the great interest which the Chinese Six
companies have taken IN defeating the
registration law. He says; "The Chi
nese six companies are fighting for coin.
Every Chinaman that the Six companies
gets into this country is worth $500 to
them, and in every case the sum is paid.
Collection of the amount is easy. Once
they get their man in, they find some
thing for him to do, and each month the
employee turns over certain amount OF
his salary until the debt is paid" The
Geary act, If declared to be constitution
al, will destroy this money-making
scheme of the Six companies.
