DISCHARGING SEAMEN ABROAD.
United States Government Determined to Pu,
Stop to This Illegal Practice.

Washington, July 31.-The bureau of
navigation is endeavoring to stop wher.
ever 1t exists, the illegal practice of fore
ing American seamen to leave vessels In
foreign ports, thus rendering them charge
upon the United States government
Every year Congress appropriates $50, 900
to aid in returning distressed American
seamen from foreign shores to the United
States. While many sailors undoubtedly
desert abroad, in other instances they are
forced ashore by extortion or cruelty of
the masters.
The United States consuls, today, re-
ported two cases of which thorough in.
vestigation has been ordered, and II the
charges are proven, an example will be
made by intlicting full penalties. Nine
seamen of the bar kentine Thomas Brooks
of New York, wrecked near Santiago de
Cuba, became Il charge on the govern
mont although wages moro than enough
to pay their return to the United States
are due them. 1t appears from the con
suls statements that wages had been ad.
vanced to them in New York, in flat viola
ton of the law.
-Four seamen of the ship Arkwright of
Seattle became charge on the govern
ment at Melbourne, Australia The con

ceeds, leaving the seamen on the hands of
the consul.

Peniteniiary Case Can Clear Up Mystesies.

Philadelphia, July 31.-The finding in
the Little Rock Ark, penitentiary OF
datch, who figured SO prominently in the
Holmes case, has apparently upset tbs
plans for the prosecution of Holmes. II
It can be proved that Hatch is the indi-
vidual whom Holmes dragged into the
case as the custodian of the Pietzel girls,
whose bodies were found in Toronto, a
aew line of work will have to be started
upon.
From the start Hatch was considered
by the police here to be a myth But now
they seem to have experienced a change OF
opinion. Lawyer Shoemaker, who repre-
,ents Holmes, stated, today, that he was
'stonished that one or dozen men namet
Hatch had not previously come to the sur
face. He said his client adherCs to the
statement that the two Pietzel girls were
left in charge of Hatch and the where .

DEFENDER AGAIN WINS,
Beats the Vigilant and Volunteer Bad
Iy in 30 Mile Run,
Has IL Minutes to Spare Over visiIant and 2a
Over Volunteer.

Newport, r. l., July 3I-Once more
the Defender has scored victory over the
Nigilant. While the latter was somewhat
handicapped by a six-foot rent in her
mainsail, that would not allow for the Il
inmates beating she was given in 10
mile run, today, from New London here.
Gen. Paine's Jubilee did not start ow
ing to an accident which happened in the
hard blow of yesterday. She was going
around Race rock outside New London
harbor, about p. NJ, when the turn
buckles in her main rigging on the port
side parted. The Jubilee was lowed here
j. Malcolm Forbes Volunteer, the sue
cessful cup defender of 1887, was In the
race, today, and there was a good oppor-
tunity to guage the advance made in
yacht architecture since the Thistle was
sent home without the cup. The Volun-
teer was recently changed back to sloop
In the 40 mile run, today, the Defender
beat her "a minutes and seconds, and
The Vigilant beat her IL minutes and
three seconds.
The Mayilower, the cup defender of
1856, was in the race for sobooners and
won in her class, making the best time of
any of the yachts except the three big
single-stickers. Her victory is partially
due to her steering more northerly course
and getting more wind off shore than the
others.
EThe Defender crossed the line at 4. 06. 10,
or IL minutes and 2 seconds ahead of the
Vigilant, and 81 minutes ahead of the
Volunteer.
Friday, one of the greatest races of the
year-that for the Goelet cup-will be
sailed. The Jubilee, Volunteer. Vigilant
and Defender will como together.

THE MOOSE TIGHTENING.
Ianitor QuinIan and Wife Make Some lmpor.
tant Admissions.

Chicago, July 3l.-That Mrs Quinlap,
wife of the janitor supposed to know so
much about the misdeeds of Holmes made
a partial confession to the police, this
morning, is almost certain. at an early
hour two of the principal Investigators Of
the case went to the Harrison street sta
ton, where Mr.. and Mrs. Quinlan have
been confined, taking with them stenog-
rapher. They first devoted themselves to
the man. About an hour was consumed
in his examination. Chief Badenoch de-
clared that nothing had transpired that
he could give to the press without ipjur-
ing the police status of the case. He ad
United that Quinlan broke down CON-
pletely and wept like child but denied
that he said anything which would i'm
plicate either himself or Holmes in the
murders laid at their doors Quinlan adj
United that he knew Hatch, now in jail
at Little Rock, but refused to acknowledge
him either as an accomplice or friend.
The interview with Mrs. Quinlan, which
followed, was sensational in the extreme.
The police are very reticent about it.
Mrs. Quinlan was very much affected, J"
said Chief Badenoch. "She not only wept
throughout the whole interview which l
need not say was unusually severe, but
she said: II call on God to witness that
[ know nothing more of the murder than
| have already told. If Pat says l know
anything more about it, he simply lies,
chats all. /"
This remark was called out by decoy
statement made to her that her husband
had confessed everything. At least this
is the story the police told. 1t is believed
from the whole circumstances of the inter
view that much more was said than the
inquisitors cared to give out, as a prema
ture publication of their plans would
probably spoil everything
ave shall not go to Little Rock at ALL >"
said Inspector Fitzpatrick. I'VE are 60
ing to bring Hatch here, If possible. We
cannot bring him on requisition, as he Is
already confined on an offence of which
he has been convicted l think we can
get him here on parole"

ECkElS ACCUSED
OF Knowing the First National Bank at vii.
lamantic InsoIvent Year Before II Failed.

Hartford, CT, July 31-The Post this
afternoon, in an editorial accuses Comp
troller Eckels of knowing that the First
National Bank of Williamantic was in
solvent year before the bank failed, last
April. 1t says the United States bank
examiner, NJ. +. Dooley of this city, in
formed Comptroller Eckles that the bank
was insolvent in the spring of 1891. Mr.
Eckles had some correspondence with the
directors, conducted by Cashier O. II. r
Rislcy, who died in April, 1895. The
result was that Comptroller Eckels on
his own proposition, accepted the bond of
the directors to make the impairment of
the banks capital good. This was not done,
however. The bond was filed in the treas
ury department at Washington. When
Risley's forgeries were discovered after his
death, the bond was found to be forged.
