or this afforded an excellent barrier against
the high seas Of the Channel The two men
continually glanced out upon the harbor
thus formed, watching for the electric light
Of the "Namovna." ether vessels were an
chored in the bay, and all displayed lights.
But Fairfax knew that the "Namovna's'
light would far outshine them all
The ruin meanwhile continued to pour in
torrents; the wind blew with frightful vio-
lence, while the lightning and thunder made
night hideous. They had built little fire
in the hut. II, at least, served to dry their
wet garments and to keep the girl from be-
coming chilled. About half-past eight the
valet-who also was familiar with that por>
ton of the coast appeared with the two
seamen. They were soaked to the skin, aod
gathered hastily about the fire.
Perhaps ten minutes later, the lights Of
the "Namovna" cleaned brightly over the
tossing waves. The yacht steamed slowly
around the island, as If feeling her way.
The storm now began to moderate. The
wind finally ceased altogether; and the
thunder sounded more and more distant.
One by one the stars appeared, and the
moon came up and lit the waters Of the ses.
A huge boat was seen approaching. Fair.

helmsman stecred directly toward the old
fsh-house.
Dick and one Of the seamen lifted the
sleeping girl Fairfax arranged In the
stern place where to lay her down, and
the docile Medji was led into the bow Of the
boat, which, according to Fairfax's orders,
was the largest the captain could find.
Goodbye, Dick. Write me Here's nv

friend. The weight of his offense began "a

several five-pound notes into the latter's

death could prevent it's execution.
In impressing upon the seaman the neces-
sity Of observing every precaution to obtain
success, he had added, with an oath:
''If hair of her head is harmed, your
blood be upon your own heads"
The counterfeit peasant woman lightly
picked up the unconscious Princess, and
hastened toward the carriage with his love-
ly burden. The other seaman followed
with Medji, who had been standing quietly
by, during this scene. Fairfax blew his
whistle as the signal of release to Oxford
and to Roger, the outpos,s on either side Of
the pool
The latter met with but one wayfarer-a
farmer residing in that neighborhood and
him he easily detained. But poor Oxford
had his hands full in endeavoring to sus-
Itain an exciting conversation with an obsti-
mate old farmer and half-dozen stupid
lwagoners, IN route to St Brieux with pro-

Spurrcd on by the storm to still greater

and remembered an old fish-house that
stood near the shore. Hurrying thither, he

blankets, and told Dick to lay the Princess
upon them. And there she slept quietly and

THE SCHEME is FEASIBLE.
ID. Farrand Henry Says the Proposed De-
troit Canal VIII BE Successful.

DETROIT, March I'D. Farrand
Henry. the eminent civil engineer. has
written a lengthy communication to
the Engineering Record, in which he
claims that the scheme for construct
ing a canal from Lake ST. Clair
to Lake Erie, so as TO avoid
the windings of the Detroit
river and dangers of the Lime
Kiln crossing, is perfectly feasible.
He states that saving will be had of
20 miles in distance. The proposed
canal will be but Ia miles long and 90
feet deep, and he estimates it will cost
less than $4,000, 900 AS the soil is of
blue clay with no rock within 100 feet
of the surface, the eXcavating would be
comparatively easy. The company
which is organized FOR the purpose COM
prises chiefly Canadian capital.

GRAND RAPIDS, March 10.-Ex-Sen-
ator Wesselius, one of the attorneys
for the indicted officials, whom Gov
Rich has sought to remove from office,
declares that Secretary of State Jochim,
Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Com
missioner Berry will surely serve out
their terms unless convicted of criminal
offenses as the result of the grand jury
indictments. The power of the COVER
nor TO remove is now under review by
the state supreme court, and If the de-
cision is against the officials the case
will bc taken to the United States SUI
preme court, where it would be hung up
until long after their terms of Office
had expired.

Land Owners Who Cannot Read
Their Titles Clear.
Decision by Land Commissioners Lam
oreux Which Throws the Ownership
OF 10000 Acres In the Upper
Peninsula In Doubt.
IRON COMPANIES AFFECTED.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March l0.-Com-
missioner Lamoreux of the general
land Office, after examining into the
question of approvals of land grants in
the upper peninsula of Michigan to
the Portage Lake & Lake Superior Ship
Canal company, has decided that
nearly $4,000 acres of land were
enormously approved to that COM
pany in 1865. These lands were
listed as mineral" prior to the act
making the grant to the company. AS
the granting act expressly excluded
from its terms lands which had for
merly been classed as mineral" Com
missioner Lamoreux holds that the APP
prevail was without authority OF law.
He recommends to Secretary Smith
that suit be instituted to set aside the
title of the company.
DETROIT. March l0.-A decision of
Land Commissioner LamoreuX in
Washington is of great Importance to
various corporations which have ac-
Quired immense holdings of lands in
the upper peninsula of Michigan. The
decision calls into question the title of
upwards of $50, 600, 900 worth of land
held by the Portage Lake 81 Lake
Superior Ship Canal company. The
company secured the grant as a bonus
for constructing the canal across
Keweenaw point, which it afterwards
sold to the government. The act under
which the grant was made expressly
excluded any lands classed as mineral
In making its selections, however
the company seems to bave ignored
this proviso and to have taken lands
distinctly classified as mineral. Some
CO. 900 acres are affected by Commits
sioner Lamoreux's decision Holdings
of the Michigan Land Il Iron company
and other corporations are also being
investigated. The titles of most of the
iron mines developed in recent years
are affected by the prospective contest

BELIEVE GREGORY INSANE.
Result OF Physicians Examination at
Dexter supports This Theory.

Result of Physicians Examination at
Dexter supports This Theory.
DEXTER, March 0.-The all-absorbing
question here is Us To whether or not
Assistant Cashier Orla G. Gregory,
who robbed fine Dexter savings
bank of over 81. 600 and then laid the
crime To an alleged pair of sa2dbagging
crooks. is insane. There is no
doubt he is in state approaching
nervous prostration, and the feeling is
growing among the people that his APP
parent mental infrmity is real ard not
feigned. There is still larger con-
tingent who believe he is playing q
game not only to escape legal punish
ment but TO save himself from losing
the good opinion of his relatives and
friends.
DIR. Vaughan. an insanity expert from
the university, was here Thursday
morning and was with Gregory several
hours. The result of his Investigations
cannot be definitely known, as neither
the doctor nor the Gregorys will say a
word, but the results tell the story near
ly as well. Before the doctor came the
boys father was anxious TO reach set
Element with the bank, and at his So
licitation the bank directors made a
proposition looking 10 that end. With
the doctors report in hand all was
changed, and the proposition was
promptly withdrawn. 1t is therefore
believed DIR. Vaughan has decided that
young Gregory is insane, and If the
bank people decide to prosecute they
will be met with a plea of insanity.
The bank has not yet decided whether
TO prosecute or not President BurlSett
has gone TO New Orleans on a ten days
trip and nothing will be done during
his absence.
