BBNHAM,s WHEREABOUTS.
Naval officers Worried-His Term
Expires N Eight Days.

WASHINGTON, April 2, 1so4-Naval Off
GERS are somewhat concerned over the
failure of the San Francisco with Admiral
Benham on board, to port at st. Lucia on
her way to Bluefelds.
The ship left Rio March IS, and it was ex-
pected that she would reach her destination
of the Mosquito coast in eighteen days,
allowing ample time to take on more
coal at st. Louis. Fourteen days have al
ready elapsed, and it is surprising that no
word has been received from the ship. 1t
will take at least three days if not four to
return the 1900 miles between st. Lucia
and Bluefelds, and in all probability
two days to coal at the former place. She
had to make nearly $500 miles from Rio to
st. Lucia. The government will be seriously
embarrassed unless the ship is heard
from today or tomorrow, as Admiral Ben
ham retires April 10, and unless paramount
commission is cabled to him he will not have
an opportunity to take any official
part in Nicaraguan affairs after bis arrival
there, as he will become private citizen by
law in eight days.
The committee from Mosquito, Consular
Agent Seat and Mr.. Wall did not see Secre-
tary Gresham this morning. They have
received no additional news from the scene
of the disturbance.

DECLINE OF WHALING.


Some Remarkable Cruises in the
Days Before Kerosene.
The whale fishery was at one time an
enormous industry in the United States. 1t
reached its height in 1854, when 6o2 ships
and barks, IS brigs and So schooners, with
total tonnage of 2OS, 800, were engaged in it.
By 1876 the feet had dwindled down to 1863
vessels, and it is doubtful if so are now at
sea- The introduction of kerosene, and the
increasing scarcity of whales, seem to be the
cause of this decline.
Some remarkable voyages were made in
the old days. The Pioneer of New London
sailed in June, 1854, for Davis Strait and
Hudson's Bay, returning in September, 1865,
with 1891 barrels of oil and q, $50 pounds of
bone, valued at $150,O00 In 1S47 the Envoy
of New Bedford was sold to be broken up,
but her purchaser refitted her and she made
a voyage worth $780,
On the other hand, vessel made FIVE
years voyage, and on her return the cap
tain's lay was only SS5 But, as the Nam
tucket captain, whose vessel returned from
three years voyage as clean as she went
out, remarked

H. Sheperd, commanding the apprentice

tion at Captain Sheperd's expense.

The News I'm New York.


NEW YORK, April 2, 1894.-The news that
posted on the bulletin board in front of the
agents Office on Bowling Green when re-
ceived, and was soon surrounded by q crowd,
most of them relatives and friends of the
passengers, whose delight knew no bounds
when they read the good news that, although
1000 miles away, their friends were safe and
not lost as they had begun to fear.
The Ems sailed from Bremen on March
II, and from Southampton on the 18th.
Since then she has only been reported once
She was then steaming along at full speed.
The following is a list of the Ems saloon
passengers; G. Bennesen, Compte del
Borghetto, Reiphold L. Hermann, Miss
Joynt George Nemedy, Miss Emay Smith
son, Miss Kathie Horsch, Frederick
Kohlenborg, Franz Lengsfel, Miss Ida
Nibqr, Miss Pauline Bentrup, Leo Waldan,

Dahlgren. Gustav Miller, w. Lottie van

Evers, Rudolph Huss and Miss Bessie Man.
ming left the vessel at Southampton.
When the Ems was sighted by the Noord-
land, on March 81, she was astern. She
passed the Red Star liner easily and disap-
peared to the west. The Ems must, there
fore, have met with the accident to her pro-
peller frame after March 81
At eleven o'clock the agents received their
first official notice of the Ems safety. 1t
came in the form of a telegram from
Bremen, which read as follows:
"Ems arrived in tow Horta (Azores),
Agents Silveira & Edwards. Tranship pas
sengers to Wilhelm"
Horta is port of the Azores, on the same
island as Fayal, and distant out few miles
from the latter haven. The Kaiser Wilhelm
III. will reach the Azores on Wednesday
afternoon, provided, of course, that she
makes the run on scheduled time. 1t will
necessitate but slight delay to pick up the
Ems passengers, and. if all goes well, the
Wilhelm should reach here on or about
April IS.
The agents of the North German Lloyd
line can advance no theory as to the proable
cause of the Ems's accident. They think that
she could hardly have been in the ice fields,
but they are unable to account for the dam
age which she sustained, unless it was caused
by ice They are not certain whether the
fra &c encasing the propeller, and including
therudder was broken, or whether the pro-
pelling shaft was bi oxen.
They are inclined to believe, however, that
it was the former, and upon this assumption
they base their absolute ignorance as to the

To these reductions must be added, he said,
the imposing fact that the bill provides for
full and ample revenue. largely in excess of
present supplies, with which to meet all the
requirements of the public credit
''Faults and imperfections can, Of course,
be alleged and pointed out; concessions are
apparent which have been unwllingly made,
and only when found absolutely necessary,
in order to secure its passage, articles on the
free list as they came from the House have
been made dutiable under the duress Of a
small majority here yet, deeply as I regret
the necessity for these changes, and earn
estly as I opposed them, I do not
hesitate to say that the bill, taken
as a whole as it now stands, with
its combination of lower taxes on the
necessaries of life and at the same time in
creased revenues for the Government, will be
hailed as substantial measure of reform
and relief by the great producing masses Of
the American people,

To remove ordinary wall paper soak
the paper by applying hot water with

Heavy papers, such as feathers and

Whitewashci walls should be scraped

gar will answer all purposes
For damp walls we advise either ono.
two or three coats Of shcllac over the

the damp spots.
For vanished paper. mix about ?
pounds of common brown sugar or mo-

For calcimined walls, wash walls
