Shipments to be Made to Supply
Wants Created by Famine in In
dia and Shortage in Australia.

New York, Nov. Lett was learned
today that negotiations are under way
for the charter of an $4,000 quarter
steamer to load at this port with grain
for Cork for orders, with the privilege
of Bombay direct. The Bombay rate
is said to be fixed at s shillings a quar-
ter. The shippers are believed TO have
prepared for this cargo by purchasing
so, 900 bushels of corn and $4,000 bushels
of mixed oats. 1t is also reported that
$4,000 bushels OF No. 1 hard Duluth
wheat for prompt shipment to Aus
tralia has been purchased, and that a
cargo of flour is under negotiation to
be shipped to the same market. These
charters and purchases are taken as a
confirmation of the famine reports in
India and the short crop in Australia.

The Family Of John Newport Has
Increased in n Regular Ratio.
Sodus Point, n Y. Nov. 16.-In a
colored colony near here lives John
Newport and his wife and an interest
ing family of pickaninnies. The New
ports were formerly slaves in the Pen
insula region of Virginia and came
here in 1865 They were married in
1873, and six years later Mrs. Newport
presented her husband with twins,
which were named Robert E. Lee and
George Washington. In 1890 triplets
were born. They were christened
James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur
and Ulysses S. Grant.
Two weeks ago there was another
birth, this time of four little Newports
In 1892 the father became a Democrat,
but Mrs. Newport remains a Republic
an So when it came to naming the
new arrivals, Bryan's three names
were utilized, coupled with his op-
ponent's surname as a sop to the wife
and mother. Mother and children are
progressing finely.

SAID THE LORD wEDDED HER.
Mother and Three Daughters in
Frenzy Try to Cast Out Devils.

Fall River. Mass. Nov. 16.-Mrs.
Angela Champeau and her daughter AL
vjnia were confined in the Taunton lu-
matte asylum today. Two other daugh-
tiers are watched by the police.
DR.. Collet had reported last night that
a whole family was crazy in Maple
wood. Policemen found the doors locked.
Strange sounds inside suggested q
frenzied prayer meeting.
Mrs Champeau dashed out and doused
the intruders with the contents of a
bottle. She said that it was holy water
The family had seen the squad approach,
and the omen declared that it was a
flock of devils
The mother addressed the police as
diabolical spirits and attempted TO put
them out. She used physical force, while
the others of the family tried prayer.
Mrs. Champeau battled until she fell
from exhaustion. One daughter fled and
is still at large
Several weeks ago one Of the daughters
who was very devout, arose one morning
and announced that she had been welded
by the Lord in person to a boy named
Cartier, who lived near by. She went
to the Cartier home and settled herself
for a long stay. 1t precipitated a row
between the two families and she was
elected.
The daughter remained at home under
a spell, according to her mother, until
they heard of man in Flint Village who
could cast out devils. They sent for
him. He is known as Chahot. He oper-
ated with cabalstic word and sign until
the rest of the family were driven crazy.
Then he retired with a hard-earned So.
He had been forced to leave the cure to
fate.
So Mrs. Champeau had gathered her
five children and announced that they
must make a final effort to throw off
the spell. Adelard Cartier, brother of
the so-called husband had wandered in
and had to pray and dance until he was
nearly dead when the police arrived.

left in Makers face and easily avoided
the return Maher landed a good left
on the body. but Joe evened up with a
return. Maher led for the body and
brought his right round on the neck.
Choynsh swung his left on the face and
Maher countered on the body. Peter
nailed his man on the face and they
came close together. both doing pretty
sparring and exchanging lefts on the
face.
Sixth Round-Honors were about even,
when the round opened. Joe led with a
left on the face and forced the fighting,
sending Maher staggering to the ropes
with a left on the jaw. Fierce infghting
followed and then Maher f1oored his man
with a left hook on the jaw. Maher
rushed at his man and landed right and
left on the same place, flooring him
again. Choynsk got up on the ninth
count only to be sent down again and
knocked clean out with a right cross
on the jaw. The police clambered into
the ring. but no arrests were made. The
referee awarded the decision to Maher.
The round lasted two minutes, % seconds.

YOUNG SOUND MONEY ANARCHISTS.
They Were Roasting Sweet Potatoes
Under the Sidewalks.

New York, Nov. 16-Last night Po-
liceman Corcoran of the West Twen-
tieth street station swooped down upon
a gang of boys who were holding a
carnival in the abandoned coal tunnel
under the sidewalk in front of an I'M
occupied building at 324 West Twenty
sixth street. The boys had furnished
the place in what they considered
sumptuous style. When discovered
they were seated around a dilapidated
oil stove, on which they were roasting
sweet potatoes. Pieces of old rag
carpet were strewn over the floor. In
one corner they had a quantity of pro-
visions which looked very tempting
beneath the rays of a few improvised
lamps which furnished the light. On
the walls were pictures of Mckinley
and Hobart, and sound money mot
toes, one of which read:

BELIVES SPAIN WILL FIGHT.
General johnson Thinks the Dcns
Have Ginger in Them, Though the
Trial Would Be Hopeless.

Baltimore, Nov. 16-General Bradley
T. Johnson, who recently returned from
Cuba, says that he believes the in
surgents will win Notwithstanding the
overwhelming odds which they have
TO contend with. General Johnson also
states that if the present administra-
ton does not do something in the way
of recognizing the independence of the
Cubans. he believes the incoming presi-
dent will, and that as a result, Spain
will declare war with the United States
Although the struggles would be short,
he thinks Spain has ginger enough to
fight, if the government knew it was
going to be whipped.

constitutionality of the law he said had
been settled by the decision in the Fall
Brook case, and the Modesto case was
disposed Of briefly on the ground that
it held no questions for the supreme
court of the United States to decide
The proceedings from which Tregea
appealed simply gave the directors of
the irrigation system authority to issue
bonds
AS no bonds were issued said Jus
tice Brewer, land the proceeding does
may not be issued at all, no such suit
is presented as calls for consideration
and decision by this court. For this
reason the appeal will be dismissed
Justices Harlan, Gray and Brown,
however" he continued, ARE of the
opinion that as the judgment of the
state court was against right and
privilege specially set up and claimed
by the plaintiff in error under the con-
stitution of the United States, such
judgment, if modified or revised, will
include him, if not all the holders of
taxable property in athe Modesto irri-
cation district, in respect of the federal
right and privilege so alleged; conse-
quently, it is the duty of this court to
determine upon its merits the federal
question so raised by the pleadings and
determined by the judgment of the
state court. They are also of the opin-
ion that the principles announced in the
Fall Brook case sustain the conclu-
sions of the state court upon this fed
eral question and require the affirmance
of its Judgment"

Although it WIS known at the time of
the drowning that Mrs spute's life, as
well as the lives of the children. were
insured for a sum aggregating $4,000.
Spute's explanation of the cause of the
insurance seemed entirely satisfactory.
Spute claimed himself and family had
intended to go to the mountains for an
outing, and that the Insurance policy for
three months only was taken out on
this account.

SpUte was arrested at an early hour
this morning and shortly after Nellie Da-
Wis, an inmate of well known Market
street resort, was lodged in Jail.
Spute. it is alleged, has for tong time
led dual life, and has lavished much
mercy on the Davis woman. whom he
informed of the large Insurance on his

costly presents on her birthday-the 18th
of December. The woman is held as a
witness by the police. and 1t is believed
that she was acquainted with Spute's

POINT ARENA, Nov. 25.-The steam
ship Point Arena, from Mendocino for
San Francisco, put in here at 12:30
O'Clock this afternoon, three hours and
half ahead of her usual time. She has
on board the thirty-seven survivors, in
Guiding Captain Smith of the wrecked
steamship San Benito, and left for San
Francisco at 2:30 O'Clock.
When the steamship tied up dozen
firemen, coaI-passers and seamen
marched up the hill from the wharf to
the town to see the six survivors at the
hotel there. They carried at the head
of their little procession the remnants of
the flag of the San Benito, which fiut
tered as cheerfully as it could under the
circumstances. Only about half of the
flag remained. The other half had been
blown away before it was rescued. 1t is
a white flag with the name of the ship in
big red letters, but the name of the flag
is cut in two amidship, as the steamship
was. All the letters that remain are
San B"
small party from town went out to
the wreck at an early hour this morn
ing to look along the shore for bodies.
None We're found. The vessel lies be-
tween the mouths of Brush and Alder
Greeks, and they went up as far as the
latter-about two miles. The current in
the blight sets that way, and it is
thought that when the sea becomes
calm the bodies will be found near the
mouth of Alder Creek.
The vessel still stands as she brolfts
in two, with mighty seas rushing over
her Both pieces are firmly imbedded
in the sand and do not roll a particle.
1t is considered a wonder that the
wreck has held up so well against the
onslaught of the heavy seas.
Small parties along the shore are car
rying away the wreckage that is
thrown onto the beach. When the sea
moderates there will be a rush Of small
boats loaded with ranchers and towns
people for the wreck for the large guam
titles of hams, bacon, canned meats and
other provisions and things known to
