SUSPECTED FILIBUSTERS.
Hired Two Steam Yachts for Trip
of the West Indies.
There Seems To Be Considerable Suspicion

There Seems To Be Considerable Suspicion
and Very Little to Found 1t All on.
New York, January 11.-A bout a
month ago the steam yachts Lagonda
an Amadis were chartered through Nj.
Hubble, the yacht broker here, to 60 to
the West Indies. 1t was reported after
the vessels sailed that they were going
on filibustering expedition, and the
marine insurance companies which had
assumed risks on the vessels cancelled
the policies on them. The Lagonda
reached Fernandina, Fla, Wednesday,
and today Rev. W. L. Wymore, the owner,
received q telegram from Borden & Co.,
charterers of the vessel. saying, "Cap-
tain Griffin refused to sail until the sec
ond payment and insurance was paid,
neither of which was due according to
the charter. The crew were paid jan
uary l. Will hold you responsible for all
damages caused by delay"
Mr.. Wymore said he had wired Borden
& Co., the underwriters, had withdrawn
the insurance and the charter, thereby
became void. He wired Captains Gri fiji
instructing him not to proceed to sea
without a paid-up policy of insurance.
Broker Hubble SAID today that all he
knew about it was the yachts were to go
for a trip TO the West Indies. He did
not kno W there was anything suspicious
in one man hiring two yachts. The
Amadis has not been sighted since she
sailed last Friday. Mr.. Hubble said she
should have reached Savannah today.
There is much mystery about the chart
ering of the two yachts.

The Mystery Surrounding the Tennessee
Election To Be Looked Into.

Nashville. Tenn, January 1.-THE
gubernatorial situation has continued
to be the all-absorbing subject in the
Senate today. The morning session was
consumed in discussion, the Republicans
insisting that the vote should be can
vassed and the Democrats taking the
ground that the investigation should
have been made beforehand. In the
House this morning something of SEN
sation was created by Mr.. Robertson,
Democrat, who read letter from W A.
Davis, a Republican from Dixon, whic
stated there was lot of Repu blican

DISCUSSING INCOME TAX.

Senator Quay Thinks Legislation on This
Matter Should Be Postponed Until Feb
ruary First.
Washington, January 1.-THE urgency
deficiency bill was considered in the Sen
ate today MIR. Hill of New York dis
cussed the income tax. He said it
seemed to be the duty of Congress to
tion and remove the am biguit ties, other
wise it is reasonably certain the expe-
rience of the war period to refund the
tax would be repeated. Taxpayers and
their agents would beslege the treasury
department, Congress and the courts,
claiming the refunding of the tax paid.
He argued against a scrutiny of the
books of Corporations s.by assessors, and
the necessary exposure of business Sc
crets. Mr.. Hill said the income tax law
s it now stood was unconstitutional,
unwieldly and unavoidable, and ought
not to be inflicted in its present. shape,
either on the taxpayers, executive office
or Congress.
MIR. Dubois of Idaho addressed the SEN
ate. His speech was chiefly devoted to
the silver question.
Mr.. Quay moved the further considera-
tion OF the bill and the amendment be
postponed to the first of February. He
spoke strongly against the income tax,
and said that Washington, Montana and
Wyoming would, within a few days,
elect senators to fill the seats now va
cant. Properly. until those states were
fully represented, no legislation so i'm
portant as the collection of income tax
should be authorized. Mr.. Quay's mo-
tion was defeated. Mr.. Hill did not vote.
Mr.. Sherman of Ohio argued that the
proposed amendment was unnecessary,
as every citizen had right now to
bring a suit to test the CONSTITUTE onality
of the tax. After some further dis
cussion, point of order was made
against the Hill amendment, (that 1T
was general legislation OH general ap-
preparation billy. and it was sustained
by the presiding officer. An appeal
from this ruling was taken by Mr.. Hill,
and at that stage of the proceedings the
whole matter went over and the Sc nate
adjourned.

AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
Peculiar Transaction of Bangor Mer
chant Now Before the Court.
fsnaoial to the PREss.)

Bangor. January 1I.-A queer case has
been on trial in the Supreme court today in
which one of Bangor's prominent business
men, Walter X. Shaw, figures very promi-
pently. The plaintiff is Col. Jasper
Hutchings, a well known lawyer here, who
is assignee for H. q. Homer. The suit is
brought for goods that were alleged to be
taken from Homer's store and sent to
Shaw's camps and other places. The
declaration of the plaintiff was long one,
and nearly an hour was occupied in reading
1t. An alleged conspiracy to defraud credi-
tors is charged.
Several years ago Homer came to this city
and bought shoe store of Dudley, Shaw q
Co. The Sawyer Boot and Shoe company
had a mortgage on the stock, anu when
Homer took possession he mortgaged the
whole of it to the Sawyer concern. After
while Homer says he met Shaw, who asked
him if he did not want to go into scheme,
whereby both could make money. Homer
consented and the two made up a llsts OF
dealers in boots, caps, etc. 1t was
arranged that Homer should buy small bills
of goods and pay cash for them. and thus
esta blish a credit with the houses.
This was done and then immense bills of
goods were ordered on time. They were
slowed away as soon as they arrived in
Bangor, some being sent to Shaw's camps in
the woods and to buildings of relatives.
When this was done as far as it could be
Homer was to go into insolvency and Shaw
was to put up enough money to settle
accounts, ard after all had blown over they
were to whack up on the slowed away goods
and divide the proceeds. The Sawyer con-
Germ thought that the were not getting
their pay as promptly as they liked. so they
foreclosed Homer becoming insolvent.
Homer went to Shaw and asked him to
establish him in business. Shaw bought him
a farm in Hermon. He stayed there for a
while and then wanted to buy store in
Camden. Shaw furnished him with $1,000 to
buy the business. but when he arrived there
the store had been sold. Shaw wanted his
money back and Homer said he had lost it.
That raised row between the two parties
and Homer gave the whole thing away to
his assignee.
Shaw is a member of the Shaw & Morse
Lumber company, who have a big plant at
Island Falls and he is also connected with
other big enterprises. He is the son Of Hon.
E. ". Shaw of Newport, who furnishes him
with his money for different schemes. The
case is causing lots of talk here.

Augusta, January n.-Gen. George u.
Bsal. who has filed the position OF state
treasurer for the past six year, will soon re-
turn to Norway, his old homs, when he will
become private citizen again.
Gen. Beal has filled many positions of
public trust since the close of the war, in
which he took prominent part. and always
with credit to himself and honor to the
state. Had it not been that he had served
the constitutional limit as state treasurer,
there is no doubt but that he would have
received reelection.
He has also been treasurer of the Repub-
