son, but the following facts were given
me this morning by Mat Raistakka'
who while lying at anchor in his boat
accompanied only by a boy, witnessed
uhe capslzing Of Jno. Hendricksons boat
in the breakers Of Clatsop Spit, outside
Of the jetty. at about o'clock yesterday
R'ridayl morning,
1t seems that Isaac Hendrickson was
lying at anchor i'm his boat near by,
but was unaware of the accident until
notified by Ratstakka when he imme-
diately hoisted his anchor set sail ana
dashed into the breakers at the peril
Of his life. and that of his mate, reach
ing Jno. Henduckscn's boat only IN
time to save the boatpuller, koskella,
who, according 10 his own story, had
been washed away from his chnSinS
position on the bottom Of the boat four
times. Poor Jno. Hendrlckson had also
underworld to save himself by holding
ON TO the bottom of his boat, but was
carried away for the third time never
to return. Hendrickson thinks that had
he been able to reach the upturheu
boat a few moments sooner he would
have succeeded In saving the lives OF
both men. After sailing out of the
breakers and carrying the half drowned
Koskella to a place of safety, HendI9ck-
son returned, and with the aid OF the
United States life-saving crew kals-
takka Gust Neika and others, succeeded
In saving the boat, which had by that
time drlfted up with the fresh HOOD 10

SENATOR JONES
GETS INTO Line
Says He Is Still PrOtectiOnist But
ASKS For Certain Concessions.
TO BE REPORTED PROMPTLY
Tariff Bill will Not Be Delayed In the COM
mittee-C Committee rlaees Held
Ia Abeysnee.

Washington May 1.-Senator Jones,
of Nevada independent member Of the
senate committee on finance. spent sew
eral hours with Senators Allison and
Aldrich, representing the republican
subcommittee ON the tariff. today. He
went over the bin with them and slg-
gested changes where he was not salts
fed with the existing provisions.
No statement Of the Nevada senator's
position was authorized. but It Is un-
derstood that the republican memberx
feel more certain OF his cooperation
since today's interview than heretofore.
He assured them that he is still pro-
tectiOnist and is anxious to support the
bill, but told them he would have TO
insist upon certain Concessions. He sub
mitted number OF amendments pro-
viding for slightly advanced rates on
third-class WOODS. On citrus fruits, bora1.
etc, and was assured that these mat
ters should have the committees best
consideration. The committee now be-
lieves that besides his support OF the
bill, Senator Jones Will assist in get
ting the bin promptly reported
The democratic eoTnmistee on commit
tees was in session today, but reached
no definite conclusion. II has been
definitely settled that Senator TurpIe.
of Indiana, will have the preference
on finance. Several other places have
been fixed. but they are held IN ahey-
anoe until the list agreed upon by the
republicans is submitted.
Senator Jones pres kented aerands NOE
Of his own state alone, but Of most OF
the Rocky Mountain ami Pacific coast
states. He asked for an Increase Of
duty on thsrd-class wools, beginning
at FIVE cents per pound for the poorer
qualities and adding half cent per
pound for each additional cent OF the
selling value, but agreed TO a slight
reduction on first and second-elass
wools
There is good reason to believe that
the changes VIII be MADE IN accoruahce
with these suggestions. If carried into
effect they would result in putting
duty of or IA cents per pound ON the
more valuable OF the third-oiass wcois-
He also asked the committee to stand
by its decision for duty of one and
one-half cents per pound on hides. and
for one and one-half cents on lead ore
He suggests, at the instance Of the SUI
gar beet growers, a duty Of one cent per
pound on sugar testing 10 degrees by
polariscope, and adding a sufficient
amount for each additional degree to
bring the rate up to one and one-half
cents for sugar testing 80 degrees, with
one-eigth of a cent off on sugars im-
ported from the countries having re-
ciprocity agreement with the United
States.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an intlamed condl
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inilamed
you have a rumbing sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

A FORGED ORDER

Exeter Pay Roll, Dorchester
THE order here given is spurious
and is Justification Of that issued by
Washington from Cambridge Headquar-
tiers, July Z, 1775, and not July IT, as
can be seen In Forces American Ar
chives, Vol. H., p. 1884. (Here Mr..
Vail produced the genuine order as CIV
en- above, and pointed out the difference
In the date, and the substitution Of pay
rolf for parole.)
THE circumstances that prevailed at
tho time fully explain the purpose o:
the order. Washington had arrived at
headquarters in Cambridge only three
days before, and finding a want of care
in the military arrangements, and hav-
ing reason to fear that there were in
camp some persons favorably disposed
to the British, then holding possession
OF Boston, and watching their opportun-
ity to communicate Information to the
enemy, he directed certain precautions
to be taken in the selection of sentine!s,
not against foreigners as such, but
against traitors and spies in disguise
| recommend DR.. Burrell to read the
writings Of Washington as given by
his eminent biographers, Irving, Sparks
and Headey, which abound in the cx-
preston of sentiments of sympathy for
the distressed of foreign lands. and Of
cordial welcome for those from abroad
who reached the hospitable shores OF
America as a refuge from oppression"
1t is unnecessary to say that Dir. Bur
rell attempted no reply to the foregoing
letter. Soon afterwards he received Z
call" at a higher salary to assume
charge of the Dutch Reformed church in
New York. and there he is at present
teaching and preaching a different doc
trine from that promulgated by him in
the northwestern metropolis.

own countrymen the condition Of the

ant-at-will, to whom the law affords no

ants-at-will are hunted all the year

Still our homestead we behold,

But the cheerful hearth is cold,

Twas famine's wasting breath,

And the landlord, lost to feeling.
Who drove us from our sheeling,
Though we prayed for mercy kneeling,
A gradh geal mo croidhe.
A gradh geal mo croidhe!
Where our fathers dwelt If Jrc,
