LA GASCOGNE IN PORT
THE FRENCH STEAMER DELAYED
BY A BROKEN PISTON ROD.
Similar to the Accident That Occurred
Last Fcbruary-1Ss Lives Lost by
the Wreck of the Gravina.

NEW YORK, May 22-The overdue
French line steamer La Gascogne, Capt.
Baudelon from Havre May H. arrived
safely in port at o'clock this afternoon
after tedious and exciting voyage of
eleven days duration. La Gascogne sailed
from Havre on the 18th inst. at IL a. m,
with fifty saloon, forty-five second and 453
steerage passengers. She experienced fine
weather down the channel. On the 18th the
wind was from southwest, with a high
swell. which gradually hauled to southeast
On the 18th. when in latitude AZ, longitude
49, at $50 a. m, the piston rod of the
intermediate engine broke. The ship was
Immediately stopped. Chief engineer Le-
bard reported the accident to the captain
4 consultation was held and it was de-
cided to disc0nnect the disabled engine.
After much labor the task was successful
ly accomplished at $3.50 p. IN. During this
time the weather was remarkably fine and
the sea perfectly smooth. Not the slight
est excitement prevailed when the accident
occurred At p. IN. the ship, resumed her
voyage to the westward under her high
and low pressure engines at the reduced
speed of eight knots per hour.
At 1890 a. m. this morning Fire island
was sighted. Captain Baudelin' bore up
close TO the signal station and signaled the
telegraph station that la Gascosne was
of the line Immediately dispatched the
tugs l.. NJ. Millard and c. Il. Everts. They
intercepted the steamer as she neared the
Sandy Hook lighthouse and assisted her
into port. Strange to relate. the piston rod
broken in this voyage was the new rod
placed i'm the ship on her return 10 Havre
after her memorable voyage in February
last.
Captain Baudelon, when seen by re-
porter who boarded La Gascogne off Quar-
antine from revenue cutter this afternoon.
said: There was no excitement OH board
and when i told the passengers that the
accident that caused the noise which they
heard was similar to that which delayed
us in February last. they all said that they
were feeling quite safe. in my charge and
exhibited no signs of fear whatever. You
can just place the accident i'm the same
spot that the memorable one of February
occurred"

Have Been Knocked Out.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 22.-The an
nouncement is made by Col. Noble Smith
son. Knoxville attorney who has had
much practice before the United States
Supreme Court. that the decision OF that
court on the income tax has also killed the
internal revenue laws In a carefully pre-
pared opinion Colonel Smithson says:

Constitution divides federal taxation into
two classes, first, direct taxes; second. i'm
ports and excises.' and that direct taxes
must be apportioned among the several
States in proportion TO their representation
in the House of Representa- tives.' Appar-
emily the logical result of this opinion Is
that all federal taxes, except duties Of i'm
port chat is TO say, taxes collected under
the tariff laws must be apportioned among
the States according to their representation
i'm the House OF Representatives. The act
of Aug q. 1894 (the Wilson biD. Section
As provides: There shall be levied and col
lected all distilled spirits. etc, tax
OF 81 10 on each proof gallon. The statutes
OF the United States levy a tax OF cents
per pound on tobacco, etc. IL seems clear
that according TO this opinion OF CHIEF
Justice Fuller these are direct taxes on
personal property and. not being apportioned
among the several States according 10 rep
resentaffOn. they are uncOnsIsultonai

Court has not only wiped out the income
tax, but has practically repealed the i'm

Speech by r.. ID. Andrews.

BOSTON, Mass. May PA largely at
tended meeting of the Mystic Valley Club
was held last night at the Quincy House.
President T.. p. Andrews. OF Brown Uni-
versity, Providence. and Hon. Brooks
Adams, of Quincy, spoke on Honest
Money" President Andrews delivered the
principal address. He traced most of the
difficulties of the last twenty years to the
great currency change in 1873. Through the
rupture of the ratio in the value OF gold
and silver IL is impossible to determine
values. BY the dimunition of the amount
of the fundamental money through cutting
off silver a regime of falling prices was
iuaugurated What IS to be the outcome
of the present condition Of affairs the speak
or said he could not state. but his con-
yiction was that the old parity should be
restored and the two metals be permitted
TO work together in the business world.
