The soft weather has completely ruined

as result, millions of feet Of timber
will remain on the sideways over sum-

short, not to exceed 80 days of good
hauling weather, and if this is the end
of the season, and things look exceed
ingly so at present, the crop will be at
least 40 per cent short of the proposed
seasons cut. Owing to the extensive
fires that ragged through this section Of
the state last summer, millions Of feet
of timber will be ruined, as most Of it
has been cut and Is now on the skid,

that all changes in the banking laws

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-A special to
The World from London says: While
La Goscogne was still unreported on her
recent memorable voyage, the Duke Of
Newcastle wrote letter to a London
newspaper to the effect that when he
was in America in 1888, a gentleman in
formed him that two or three years pre-
viously an old sailor on his death bed
had confessed to having formed one of
the crew of a pirate vessel which cap
tured the Atlantic liner, the President,
which sailed from New York in 1841,
and wasnever heard from again.
The Huke of Newcastle said that the
gentleman had quoted the sailor as con-
Tossing that the pirate overhauled and
captured the President; that every soul
on board was made to walk the plank,
and that the liner was afterwards scut-
tied.
The duke has been absent from Lon
don since the publication of this letter,
but when he returned and received the
correspondent at his town residence, he
showed tbs. utmost desire to clear the
matter up.

Unfortunately cannot even remember
the name of my informant, except that
he had been consul or minister to

in 1888. He told me the story in the
general conversation about the table,
and it made lasting impression on my
mind. OF course I cannot vouch for
the story in any way, but the gentle
man who mentioned it, seemed to be
convinced as to its truth. AS relnem-
Der, the port at which the confession
was made was New Orleans, which,
perhaps, may furnish some clue.

to, perhaps my informant will come
forward with a full statement Of the
facts if he is still alive.
