New York, March 19-The "Nnronics"

The latest is that she may be caught in the
whirl of Sargasso sea and be whirlinu
around and around, unable to steer clear.
Ii she Is there. say old salts, disabled, it
may be many moons before she will be
heard from. Naturally every body wants to
know something about this latest ocean
suggestion or mystery. There are only two
sailing routes which run through the Sar-
gasso sea and one steamship route. The
sailing routes from New York to the
pass through it and the southern route
for steamships from Gibraltar to
New York just touches the northern bound
ary OF the sea. Sargasso sea is name
used to designate region of the Atlantic
currents covered by peculiar seaweed. 1t

Old salts sometimes call it 'the floating
prairies." The weeds grow in tangled
masses and the sprigs are but few inches
long. The weed has no root and ia kept
ahoat by small round air vessels. the size of
currants. which grow between the leaves.
This weed has for ages grown and stayed in
about the same spot in the ocean. Derelict
sailing vessels and old hulks have been
known to float about in the currants of
that sea for months.
There is still no news of the Naronic, and
the agents of the missing freighter are
ready to admit that the chances of her ever
being heard from have become decidedly
small. With the arrival of the steamship
Oilinda from the Azores yesterday nearly
all hope of hearing from the Naronio was
abandoned. Her captain reported he had
heard nothing whatever of the missing
vessel.

TAMrERED WITH THE MAIL.

Correspondence From Turkey Never
Reached the State Department..
WASHINGTON. March 19.-several repre-
sentatives of the American board of COM
missioners for foreign missions visited
Washington last week. They came from
Boston, the headquarters of the body with
which they are connected. and had several
interviews with Josiah Quincy. first assist
ant secretary of state. They told him that
the Turkish officials interfered with the COR
respondence of American missionaries in
that country; that missionaries were ubiect
to much i'll treatment by the natives who
were not restrained by the authorities: and
that messages from United States Minister
Thompson to the state department. in
Washington never reached their destina-
tion. from which he (Ihompson) inferred
his mail was tampered with. The state
ments were so positive that au investigation
of the records of the departments was or
dered to determine whether or not the cor
respondence on file substantiated the asser-
tions. The investigation will be completed
in a few davs, and the result, which it is
said will fully sustain the charges. will be
communicated to the Boston gentlemen.

WAsHINGToN, March 19-There ia reason
to expect that the senate will enter in earn
est this week upon the business for which
1t was called together. So far Lot single
nomination has been acted upon except the
cabinet appointments. Exclusive of half a
dozen army and navy promotions, there are
now sixteen presidential nominations
which have not yet been passed upon even
in COMMITTEES. Therefore it is unlikely to-
morrow's session will result in any con-
hrmations, unless the committees manage

Of the committees having charge of the

will be some material in hand upon which
