Heavy Damages Claimed for Fraudulent
representations.

Representations.
DULUTH, November 1.-Alfred Merritt
to-day brought suit against J. D. Rookie
Teller and F. D. Gates, his private secre-
tary, for 81, 226, 900, in which amount he
claims he was damaged by what he al
leges to be fraudulent representations in
the forming of the Lake Superior con-
solidated iron mines. The plaintiff
claims that at various times in August,
1898, in New York city, before he had
transferred his interests in various iron
mines and the Mesaba railroad, the de-
PENDANTS proposed that the Penokee and
Gogebic consolidated mines, which, with
others controlled by Rockefeller, were to
be taken into the Lake Superior con-
solidated mines, were solvent and the
company prosperous; also the Spanish
American and the Aurora; that their
stocks were we'll worth what Rockefeller
was to secure. Mr.. Rockefeller and Wet
more promised to lend Merritt on his
consolidated stock money at 40 cents on
the dollar of par value. All these repre-
sensations and promises plaintiff claims
were fraudulent. Defendants at the
time knew that each of the companies
controlled by Rockefeller owed large
amounts outside of their funded debt,
and that the Penokee Company was at
the time insolvent; that instead of max

solidated Companies stock worth 80
cents on the dollar, as Rockefeller prom

TWELVE DOZEN LOST.
Inc Steamer Wairarapa Wrecked Off
the New Zealand Coast.

SCs
SYDNEY, N. S. w., November 2.-The
Union Line steamer Wairarapa, bound
from this port to Auckland, N. T., was
wrecked Sunday evening on Great Bar
rie's Island off the northwest coast of
New Zealand. The night was very dark,
and the officers and lookout on the
steamer were ignorant of the proximity
of the land until the steamer struck on
the rocks. Captain Mcintosh, the mas
ter of the Wairarapa, was on the bridge
at the time. He, together with most of
the crew, was lost. The sea was rough
when the steamer went aground. At
tempts were made to lower some of the
boats, but several of these were either
smashed by being thrown against the
side OF the steamer before the lines were
cast OFT or were capsized before they
could be swung head to the sea. Most
of those in the boats persisted. Those
remaining on board made attempts to
rescue them. In the meantime the peo-
pie on shore were striving to assist the
wrecked people. The steamer had two
or three life RATS, and these were thrown
overheard, but remained attached to
the vessel by stout lines. Then some of
the passengers scrambled down the side
with the aid of ropes and jumped upon
the RATS, which were then cut loose.
They drifted rapidly ashore, and the
people on them were taken off when
they came in reach by men, who went
out in the water as far as possible to
meet them. A line was finally thrown
across the steamer and the breaches
buoy rugged. A number of lives were
saved by this means. Altogether Ill of
the passengers and thirty-three of the
crew were drowned. Some of the sur
vivors have arrived at Auckland, but the
number saved is not positively known.
STORY TOLD FROM AUCKLAND.
AUCKLAND, November 2.-The Wairar-
apa struck at midnight, when most of
aroused by the shock of the steamer
element. Life boats were rapidly served
heart-rending scenes. Despite the con-
fusion there was no panic. A heavy sea
was breaking over the vessel, and the
ty. The steamer, after she struck, set
tied rapidly and was partly submerged.
This added to the danger and difficulty
in launching the life boats. A large
number sought refuge on the bridge, but
many were swept from it by the seas.
Others took refuge in the rigging, where
they remained until daylight, when two
of the crew swan ashore with lines, by
means of which sort of breeches buoy
was rugged and a number of persons
hauled ashore. All who reached the
shore were attired in scanty clothing.
They remained on the docks for thirty
hours, subsisting on oranges that had
been washed ashore.

THE DISPENSARY LAW
The Acknowledgement Passes
His Opinion Upon It.
SUSTAINS TREASURY OFFICIALS

South Carolina Officers Have No Author
ity to Enter the Government Bonded
Warehouses And Seize Whisky for
the Purpose of Confis cation.
WASHINGTON, October 31.-The At
torney-General to-day rendered an opin-
ion in the South Carolina dispensary
case presented by Governor Tillman, in
which he sustains the opinion of the
Treasury Department, holding that the
State has no authority under the law to
enter the government bonded ware
houses for the purpose of selling whisky
declared by the State law to be subject
to confiscation. In the course of his
opinion he says:
sThe legal status of distilled liquors
in a bonded warehouse of the United
States and under the control of the Col
lector of Internal Revenue is definitely
stated and settled by Section 934 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States,
which declare that all property taken
or detained by any officer or other per-
son under authority, or any revenue law
of the United States shall be irreplevin-
able, and shall be deemed to be in the
custody of the law and subject to the
orders and DEGREES of the courts of the
United States having jurisdiction there
Of It cannot be held as has been sug-
gested, and perhaps might we'll be, that,
since the tariff act of 1894, the taxes due
on distilled liquors in United States
bonded warehouse can be paid only by
the distiller. Whether that be so or not
tender of such taxes by the Sheriff is
necessarily Intellectual as against the
statute above quoted, since it is beyond
the power of an Internal Revenue Col
lector to accept it, and thus nullify the
provisions and defeat the policy of
statute which aims to absolutely exempt
such liquors from the operation of the
process of State court. Such tender,
which for the reason stated the Collector
is incompetent to accept, must be also
Intellectual because no officer of South
Carolina has been given the right or
power to make it, the constitution of
South Carolina not authorizing any such
tender nor providing any fund which
can be used for that purpose"

American Cattle Abroad.

WASHINGTON, October 31.-Secretaty
Gresham has made very strong repre-
sentation to the German government as
to the injustice to the United States OF
the order prohibiting the importation of
American cattle and fresh meat into Ger
many. He has protested the action was
taken without sufficient evidence of the
existence of disease among the cattle ex-
ported from the United States or it's con-
tagious character or harmful effects.
There is some reason to hope our gov
eminent will be able to secure a suspen-
sion of the order, for time at least, to
afford an opportunity for further inves-
tigation, and one reason for this belief
is founded on the change in the German
CHARACTERISTIC.
