The long boat was somewhat clumsy on ac-

4 Pair of Boots.

4 business man in Tasmania failed,
and was compelled to call a meeting of
his creditors. Among his assets were
number of tin mine shares, which
were regarded as worthless. 1t was the
first tin mine discovered in Tasmania,
and the output was not as heavy as the
prospectus declared it would be. The
shares dropped in value, and when the
debtor offered them to his creditors,
the latter smiled and refused to touch
them. Among the creditors was a poor
shoemaker. who had supplied the man
with pair of shoes. He offered TO take
the shares in payment of his debt. No
one raised any objection, and he took
them, saying, They may turn out we'll

proper management, the mine develop
ed into valuable property. 1t was Il
veritabl mountain of tin, and the
shares sprang UP to an astonishing
point. Eventually the metal was "cor.
nered" by a French syndicate, and, the
shares reaching fabulous price, the
once INDECENT shoemaker sold out and
realized n fortune. In return for pair
of shoes he is now receiving an income
of several thousand dollars year.

From Boston, at st. Johns, n. r.

Tho steamer Grand Lake from Halifax
carrying donations from Boston and vicinity
and offerings from Halifax people for the
destitute people of Newfoundland has ar.
rived ut st. Johns and was welcomed by 2,0O(
persons, who crowded the wharf and cheered
with the widest enthusiasm. The Stars and
Stripes floated at the Grand Lake masthead
A feature of the demonstration was the wild
manner in which the crowd responded tc
cheers for the flag. Finally cheers were
proposed for the American people, and the
frenzied throng cheered until almost ex.
hausted.
After the vessel had been made fast to the
wharf Bishop Jones, of Newfoundland Rev
Fr. O'Brien, and Rev. VIM. Graham, went
aboard and met Mr.. Faye. who is in charge
OF the provisions. Owing to the lateness O

the relief committee the next morning, wher
the goods were handed over to the repre-
sentatives of the various religious denomina.
tions, for distribution to the unfortunate peo'
pie throughout the island. The destitutiOr
existing in Newfoundland is dreadful. Abou'

NEWSPAPER LAWS.
Judge Thomas Denies Their Existence
and Warns Publishers.

Judge Thomas, Assistant Attorney General
for the po5tofice Department Mt Washington
ID. c., who has received inquiries from per.
sons all over the country in regard to the So
called newspaper laws, which he recently
said had no existence in fact. rendered two
opinions relative to them, and forwarded
them in the form OF letters, one to an editor
of a. Boston journal and the other to an at
torney Of a so-called collection agency.
Judge Thomas in his first letter quotes the
alleged laws, and says:
"There are no such laws as these enacted
by Congress or established by the Postmaster
General, and | hold that when publisher
duns person for tue price Of his paper ac-
cumpanied by q threat to enforce such laws
If his demand Is hot met, he is legally guilty
of m attempt to obtain money under false
pretenses, if he knows these laws have no eX-
istence as laws, and if he knows that the sum
demanded Is not due. The only Federal
statute on this subject is Section 1885 Re-
yised Statutes, which reads as follows:
"Postmasters shall notify the publishers
OF any newspaper, or other periodical, when
any subscriber shall refuse to take the same
from the office, or neglect to call for it fol-
the period of one month. The relation be-
tween the publisher OF II newspaper and a
subscriber is that of a contract, and the same
rules of law apply in that case as apply IN
other business transactions between man and
man." Judge Thomas informs the Pub
fishers Collection Agency that its method OF
business is utterly indeiensible. Printed on
the face of dunning letters he writes, ''are

CORN AND WHEAT,
stocks Now in Western Farmers Hands
aud the Proportion Merchantable.

The crop report of the department OF asri-
culture at Washington, d. c.. for the month
Of March consists principally OF estimates OF
the distribution Of corn and wheat the stocks
remaining in the hands Of farmers and the
proportions Of merchantable and unmer-
chantable. The corn or hand, as estimated,
aggregates AS .jGi 43O bushels, or 1872 per
cent of the last crop. This proportion has
been exceeded but four times in the last 10
years, but the quantity is an unprecedented
ly small one The proportion merchana-
bic is 999. 400 500, or q A per cent.
The values returned for merchantable corn
averages 44.s, for unmerchantable 2S6, max
ing an aggregate value Of $j0S, ,7l3 ,l29 which
is SAC, ,00O, 900 less than the December valua-
ton Of the crop, aud averages II . per BUSH
ell. The estimated amount Of wheat in farm
ers hands is $50 5000 bushels, or 1873 per
cent of the last crop. and $1,000 900 bushels
less than the amount last March. The eX-
planaion for this in large measure is to be
found in the fact that large quantities have
been fed to stock. Returns from North and

GREW OUT OF A STRIKE.
" hite Screwmen's Association Would
Not Work with the Negroes.

The troubles which led up to the present
affair began last October. The trouble is in
the nature of strike, but grew ont Of the
refusal OF the members Of the White cotton
scrpwmen's association to allow the cOlOrcd
cotton screwmcn to engage with them any
longer in that business.
The screWmen's association has existed for
almost 40 years. and is financially, as well as
by reason of its influence and wel-disciplned
organization. one of the most powerful bodies
Of labor in the world. The organization has
d heavy surplus in its treasury as a reserve in
strike emergencies or other critical times. In
attqining its present control of the situation
the white organization has for years culti-
waited and received the support OF the negro
screwmen. At first all were members Of On0
body but were subsequently divided, and the
negroes and whites worked separately, but at
times on the same work.
With view Of controlling entirely the sit
uatiOn the white aSsOciati III recently issued
circular to shipping agents that they would
no longer work with negro screwmen, and
when the question came to an is-up struck,
but afterwards made an agreement that Ger
tain lines Of vessels would be permitted to
use black Labor
The understanding was only reached after
a small riot on Oct 2G, in which four negroes
we're shot or driven into the river and
drowned, the city police standing idly by
and protesting inability TO recognize the
offenders.

GREATER NAVY.
Eleven New Vessels Authorized to be
Pushed at Once,

Secretary Herbert at Washington d. c.,
has promptly taken up the program for in
crease in the navy provided for in the bill
signed the last day of Congress, and the ma
chinery of the Navy Department for issuing
designs and specifications has already been put
in notion. OF the eleven vessels authorized
the secretary is determined that at least nine
shall he completed and commissioned dur
ing his present term Of Office, and that the
other two shall at least be launched before
March 4, 1897 The conclusion has been
practically reached that three torpedo boats
will be built on the plan of those recently bid
upon and for which the contracts have not
yet been completed, and it is probable that
advertisements may be issued for these YES
sels in the course Of a week.
There is not so much haste regarding the
two big battleships, to cost not more than
81 600, 900 each exclusive Of armament MS
the department has had them in contcmpa-
ton for several months, and the plans can be
speedily prepared when those for the gun
boats are out Of the way One OF them is to be
built on tho Pacific coast. No more than
two of the gunboats are to be built at one es-
tablishment, and it is likely from the number
of the small yards which can undertake
them that the competition will be sharp.
