LAWYERS INSIST THAT THE MAR

THUR LAW is CONSTITUTIONAL.
Preparations have been made to exclude the

much opposition I'm the executive council of the
party that the project may be abandoned
Colonel Samuel d. Dickinson left the city on Sat

a holiday. There Is strong suspicion that his
destination is Washington. and that he has gone

THE sTARBUCK ARRIVES FROM zEBU AFTER
VOYAGE OF 2l9 DAYS

THE sTARBUCK ARRIVES FROM zEBU AFTER
VOYAGL OF 2l9 DAYS.
After remarkably long voyage OF 29 days. the
American three-skysa-yard ship William H. Star
buck. arrived at Quarantine on Saturday night
from Zebu one Of the Philippine Islands, In the
northern part OF the Malay Archipelago, with 900
bales of hemp weighing 200 tons. TIE vessel was
towed Roberts's Stores. In Brooklyn, yesterday.
Her metal sheathng was nearly worn from her
bottom and her sides were weather-beaten and
nearly void of paint
She left ZeDu last August with a crew OF seven
teen officers and men. On her way 10 Macassar
Strait she encountered eXasperating Gains and ad-
verse currents which carried her far out of her
course. and left her hepessly drifting about for
many days at a time. She was carried out OF her
course by strong current seventy-tvo miles in a
single day. When at last she succeeded In getting
into the Indian Ocean. hundred days had been con-
sumed in going distance Of about fifteen hundred
miles.
While crossing the Indian Ocean she met with a
succession Of severe gales. which still further de-
layed her, but she had good weather and made fair
time from the Ca pc of Good Hope this port. Her
passage fully twice long 1t should have
been for vessel of her class. She did not speak
single vessel on her tedious trip. Captain Reynolds.
who commands the ship, says that there were plenty
of provisions and sickness on board throughout
her exceptionally long passage.
