raE WRECK OF THE MIRANDA.
DIR. Cook Denies That the Crew Were
Drunk when she struck.

NEW YoRK, Sept. iI--Dr. Cook, who en-
gineered the Miranda expedition to Green
land. was today shown n dispatch from
Oberlin. saying many OF the crew Of the
steamer were drunk 81 the time she was
abandoned, and that the reef on which she
struck was plainly marked on the chart.
lie said:
While IL Is true that some Of the crew
were drunk when she suak, nobody was
under the influences OF liquor when she
struck the rocks. Ali intoxicating
liquors on the Miranda were locked
up and in charge of the steward.
! am confident that he never gave
any member OF the crew anything
to drink aud did not abuse his trust. on

about 80 miles of the coast of Greenland.
the Miranda blew three blasts of her whss-
lies. which vas the signal OF distress
previously agreed upon. Ii vas then
decided to abandon ths steamer but
the crew were not transferred until
three hours afterward. Before the trans
fer had been effected the crew broke the
lockers containing the spirits, and, besides
drinking liberal quantity. stuffed their
pockets With bottles Of liquor. When they
reached the schooner some Of them were
very much intoxicated. But the rotnt
hich | wish 20 make Is that nobody on
board was draek at the tine We struck
the reef. The only charts OF tie coast that
are obsainaoie are the United States hy-
biographical and the British charts.
Neither OF these gives the
position OF the reef. The Danish charts
however, which are really the property IL
she DANISH trading company, give tbs
posstloa OF the rect Unfortunately Ne
ala not have the DANISH charts or the ac-
c.dent woGid have never happened"

WASHINGTON CRY. Sept 14-Secretary
Carlisle, in answer to letter from Moul-
ton & Co., New York, made an important
decision with reference TO salt imported
for the fisheries. Mouiton inquired
whether salt imported for the fisheries
was still free of duty. as under the Nc
kinley act. The secretary after citing the
section of the act of 1890. provided for the
free importation in bond Of salt used in
curing fsh taken by vessels licensed to en-
gage in fishery and curing fish on the
shores OF the naviesble waters OF the
United States, and also for the refund 'of
duty TO exporters of meats cured with Inn
ported salt. SAYS: while this Is language
which is omitted in the present Law, It
does not appear 10 be inconsistent with the
provisions thereof The department there

not been repealed, and that dutiable salt

A q. A. II. LADY pErAuLrER.
The Past satfonai Treasurer Charged
wish M1sapproprsating Funds


with Mtsappropriating Funds-
PITzsBURs, Sept 14--By an Official an
nouncsmens today Mrs. Annie Z. Grnbb.
OF Camden. y. j.. past national treasurer
Of the Ladies' Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. u charged with misappropriat-
ing the funds Of that organization.
Thi, statement in the ladies' meet
ing today created . sensation. The
secret. One Of the ladies, who is
in high standing. makes the statement
that Mrs. Grub has defauited TO the
amount Of 500. and suit has been brought
against her bondsmen 20 recover. Mrs.
Grnbb. abe says. was re-siecsed 20 the
Office she held, and had the confidence Of
the ladies' to such an extent
that the auditors considered it
only necessary 10 make . cursory
report. How long the shortage has ex-
listed is not stated, but at the Washington
City encam pmenf the books were thought
TO be correct, and she was reelected. At
indianapolis IN 1898, when new treas
urer was elected, Mrs. Grub failed 20
turn over some OF the books, and an inves-
tigation then disclosed the discrepancy.
When Mrs. Carrie v. Sheriff. who was
president in 1892, learned OF the fact. she,
together with Attorney John vanderslice.
OF Philsdslphia. conferred with Mrs. Grub
in Camden. and suit was filed through
Voorhees, & Co.. OF Camden. The case will
come TO trial next month. Ttappears that
nothing Of this was known TO the members
Of the order until today. In the very warm
discussion. Mrs. Margaret A Stevens. of
Camden. q member Of the council Of adj
mlnistration. and Laura McLair. who was
the first national president, made urg-
ent appeals in behalf Of Mrs. Gruhb,
and suggested that the ladies donate
enough to make up the deficiency,
hoping TO keep the scandal quiet;
Others. however. bitterly denounced the
ex-ireasnrer and insisted that the matter
be allowed 10 take its course. The ma
jority voted in favor OF prosecution. and
the end IL not yet The excuse made for
Mrs. Grub By her friends is that when
shs used the money IL was to help her
husband out Of financial straits. and he
could not return IL when called upon.

steady Increase Of TN. Gold Reserve.

WASHINGTON CirY, Sept. 1A-The net
cash in the treasury at the close Of bust
ness today was sl27, 49,. AL, of which S56.-
COS, 524 represented the gold reserve. The
gold reserve has been steadily climbing
upward for the past month. On August s
il reached the lowest point in the record
of the department., So, is9. 500. Since that
date 1t has increased almost S. 0o0. 600. and
the increase has largely allayed the fears
Of the treasury officials. During the past
week it has increased over 81, loo. COO. This
is accounted for by the voluntary sur
render of gold by the banks, and its ex-
change for small notes. During the past
week $4,000 has been so exchanged. The
balance of the increase is due TO the pur-
chase OF bullion at Helena, Denver and
Charlotte, n. c. The large increase in the
output Of gold in Colorado and Montana
piles up the gold reserve, as IL finds its
way directly to the assay offices Of the
government
