The Pilot Says Grant Refused to Get Ills
Anchor Ready.

NEW YORK. March 5.--Thc reason
for the sudden resignation OF Captain
Charles H. Grant as commander OF the
American Line steamship New York came
to light to-day.
Captain Samuel G. Fairchid and VII.
| liam II. Barrett. the local board OF United
| States inspectors Of steam vessels called
upon Pilot Richard Begley to explain the
| grounding OF the big ocean steamer.
Begley has been plotting registered ve5-
sells of all sizes in and out OF this port
for the past fifteen years. and has "A IL
cense from the State of New Jersey.
He swore that during the long expeT-
| fence as a pilot it was the custom OF in
coming vessels TO have their anchors
Gated when approaching Sandy Hook. 40
that they can be let go instantly II ne
cessary. lie boarded the New York last
Saturday morning six or seven miles
east of Sandy Hook.
Captain Grant turned the vessel over
TO him when the lghtship was reached.
There was a strong southeast wind, with
heavy rain squalls. Stops Of fifteen min
utes or so were made at the whistling
buoy. at Gedney's Channel. and also just
under the Hook At the latter place Big
ley charges that he asked Captain Grant
to have the anchor got ready. and the
New York's commander said il would
take some time to get IL ready.
Grant told him to make Gravesend Fay
n possible, and although he considered IL
imprudent and dangerous 10 proceed with
out the anchor Gated. the weather be
ing thick and foggy. he endeavored 70
comply with Grants request, following
the latter's courses, which were given him
as correct, at a slow pace.
Twice he says, he requested Captain
Grant 10 have the anchors made ready.
but IN each instance the New lork's COM
ma nder who remained on the bridge with
him. II ade no response.
II the anchors had been ready when
the New York got inside Sandy Hook.
Bigley said, he certainly would have come
TO anchor.
lie believed the courses given him by
Grant We're correct. and from the re-
ports made by the quartermaster heaving
the lead. making allowances for the Hood
tide and strong wind considered that the
vessel was running through the Malin
Ship Channel.
When the New York grounded. owing
TO the miscalculation. she was about seven
hundred feet 10 the westward Of this
channel.
As soon as II was discovered that the
vessel was fast. the fog cleared little.
showing the lights ahead on Ccney ISL
and and the New Jersey shore.
The pilots testimony regarding Captain
Grants refusal to get the anchor ready
when requested. has opened "A new line

IHI ENGLISH CASE.

1t is gratifying 10 know that Great
Britain has determined 10 lay before our
! Venezuelan Commission the documentary
evidence upon which rests her claim TO
the territory I'm dispute between Venezuela
| and British Guiana. and that the document
containing it has been already forwarded
10 this country, and Is expected in Wash

ever there IS anything serious upon its

best qualified men, and it accordingly Sc

greatest living jursts 20 state and pre-

Sir Frederick Pollock. professor OF juris-
prudence in oxford University. This gem

him. when it appeared the position of
one OF the abcst lawyers and writer's
that ever adorned the English bar. II is

no superior in the literature OF any ma

1t was TO be expected that England's

best light in which il could ho shown.
But if the cablcd accounts of her case as

WHAT EUROPE Is SAYING OF Us.

The action which Congress has taken
I'm respect TO Cuba is not we'll thought
OF anywhere in Europe. Almost the en-
tire European press insist that no case
has arisen in Cuba which jusuhes our
acknowledging the insurgents to be beilig-
oronis. The Kolnsche Zeitung, Of Ber-

which is believed TO represent the views

against giving violent expression 20 their

as follows:

mediation in behalf of the South. Spain
then might add with monarchic politeness
that she would not venture TO carry the
comparison further, lest She might be

This is the first time we ever heard OF
England and France Offering to mediate
in behalf Of the South. Who else ever
heard of it?

The system OF international law that

lions are what the civilized nations OF

Incorporated into the system when the
feudal system prevailed and which. while
perfectly suited 10 that system OF scmi-
slavery. are I'm no way suited 10 our mod
ern democratic institutions. Not so with
the code of international law. however,
That started out. at its beginning, not TO
a9apt itself TO the peculiar institutions
Of any ono nation, but TO frame set or
rules that would secure Justice to all
nations. There are hardly 70 be found
