Vain SEARCH FOR A SHIP
The Cadzow Forest Thought to
Have Struck on Cape Flat
terry Rocks.
DANGEROUS DISTINCTIONS Unmarked on
the Chart Discovered During
Cruise.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. 27.-The Do
minion steamer Quadra returned to-day
from her cruise in search of tie Cadzow
Forest, which extended along the west
coast as far as the Queen Charlotte islands
No wreck or wreckage was seen or heard
of, however, with the exception of the
total loss of the schooner Wanderer.
In Hesquial the sealing schooner Louis
Olsen was at anchor, and her skipper, Cap
tain Daily brought aboard the Quadra his
logbook and chart to show what fearful
weather he had experienced after leaving
the bar of the Columbia River in company
with the Cadzow Forest, both vessels
bound for the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
The last seen of the Cadzow Forest from
the Louis Olsen was at 10 P. NJ. OF the I'd of
July, when the vessels were running to
the northward with the wind to the south
From the logbook it appears that shortly
before daylight the wind backed to north
east and few hours afterward veered sud
denly to the southeast, blowing very hard
with terrific squalls.
This continued until the morning of the
5th of January, when the weather cleared
up and land was seen few miles off to
leeward, which Captain Daily recognized
as Uchalet.
Every exertion was made TO keep off
the shore, Storm trysails being set be-
tween squalls to give the ship headway.
This driving kept her off and the next
land made was Cape Cook, 100 miles to
the northwestward.
Captain DAILY Is OF the opinion that the
CadZow Forest has truck on some OUTLYING
reefs on the west coast OF Vancouver
Island, as being III ballast she may drift to
leeward much faster than the Olsen, or,
keeping too close to the Washington
shore, has struck Flattery rocks.
The former Surmise, however, cannot
we'll be correct, for should the CadZow
Forest have struck anywhere on the west
coast of Vancouver Island some wreckage
would doubtless have drifted on shore,
when, with inquiries made from place to
place by. the Corwin and Quadra, some
thing would have been heard of it.
On February % four Indians arrived at
Clayoquot from Uchulet, having travelled
along the beach between the two places
and reported having seen part of the
bottom timbers of vessel with copper on
them, no doubt part of the Nineveh.
NCaptain Wallbran reports that admiralty
chart 2430 of Queen Charlotte Island is
dangerously erroneous, the trend of the
west coast and distances between promi-
nent headlands not being laid down with
any accuracy.
A survey of these islands is urgently re-
quired. Six dangerous rocks hitherto un-
marked on the chart were located and
examined on the cruise just com pleted.

THE CARSON MINT CASE.
Witness Langevin Believed to
Have Been Hounded Into
Insanity.
Mysterious Disappearance, Corrupt
Use of Money, Attempts at Sui.
eide and Other Sensations.

CARSON, NEv., Feb. pa recent dis
patch sent from this city to the Examiner
stated that Joseph Langevin had gone in
sane and conveyed the idea that Langevin
while insane had given testimony against
Heney in the mint case that convicted an
innocent man. Northing could be farther
from the truth.
The testimony given by Langevin was
that Brule called at his house at night and
paid him $400 and that other sums had
been paid him at different times. Mrs.
Langevin corroborated the testimony,
and William Langevin, who was in the
house, saw Brule call and saw the money
in the morning. 1t was also in evidence
and not disputed that Trenmor Coffin
called few hours before to find out what
Langevin knew. Heney, the defendant,
admitted that he had paid Langevin $500.
Langevin's son was spirited away to
Canada to prevent his testifying and is
stlll there. Langevin's testimony, sprung
so suddenly in the case, showed the Jury
that the case was being fought not with
legal steps, but by the corrupt use OF
money, the handling of which was ad.
mitted by an attorney. All sorts of mali
cious prosecutions followed Langevin's $
testimony. and it is no small wonder that
his mind is by this time unbalanced
Brule, the man who carried the money
to Langevin, was sent to jail for three
months and fined $780, The United
States District Attorney presented a SINH
lar complaint against Trenmor Coffin for
the use of corruption money, but UP to
date the court has paid no formal atten-
ton to it.
To-day it is claimed that an attem pit was
made to poison Flo Stewart, the woman
who was living with Picker when the
bullion was dug up in his back yard but
most people think that she attempted
suicide by poisoning.

:. Hos ANGELES, Gail, Feb. 27.-Jacob
King, rancher, nearly SO years old, has
been living alone on his ranch in Antelope
Valley: On Sunday night the old man
went into his back yard to see that some
little pups were snugly tucked in the dog
house, and in the darkness he. thrust his
hand into the kennel and felt around. His
hand was seized by something and when
he pulled it out there was big rattlesnake
clinging to it. The snake had implanted
his fangs into the web between the index
and third finger of his right hand and was
fixed there. he grabbed it about the neck
with his left hand and choked it until it
let go; when he threw it 10 the ground and
it quickly crawled away.
" He did not 60 for doctor at once, but
waited until next morning, when he went
TO Palmdale and secured the services of a
physician. By this time the entire arm
was swollen purple and was as large as
his thigh. The entire left side was receiv-
ing the effects of the poison, as the swell
ing was appearing there. The doctor set
to work on him, but the poison had gotten
too great start. The swelling soon passed
over and spread. over the left side, and in
a few hours death ensued. He died Tues
day morning in great agony, his body be-
ing almost black at the time of his death.
