AN OCEAN TRAGEDY.
Captains Son Killed and the Mate
Attempts Suicide


Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 24.-The
schooner Norman. Captain B. Gray, of
Castine, Me. from Barbados. w. l., ar
rived at Carrabelle yesterday. and
when off SantO Mingo, Jan. II, the
mate, J. ]. Leighton, with two men,
was alOft on the mizZen-mast repair
ing some damage that had been done
to the tODmast, and from some cause
unexplained the lashings holding it
broke, letting it fall to the deck. The
captains son, Walter, a youth about
Is years of age, was standing on the
poop deck and was struck and in
stantly killed by the falling spar. He
was buried at sea Jan. u. The mate.
Leighton, was so overcome by the ac
cident that he attempted to commit
suicide by shooting himself with a re-
vOlver, but was prevented by one of
the crew throwing a marlin spike at
him, striking him on the arm. which
caused the bullet 20 glance off, caus-
ing a painful flesh wound on the side
of his head. He was put in irons and
on arriving here was handed over TO
Deputy Sheriff Mattair, who took him
to Alphabetical before the United
States commissioner. who, finding him
rational, and as he was in no way to
blame for the accident in which young
Gray was killed, discharged him from
CUSTODY.

Washington, March 25.-The four
days OF general debate on the DinGley
tariff bill closed tonight. Beginning to-
morrow the bill will be open for amend
ment under the five minute rule until
next Wednesday, when a vote will be
taken. Bailey OF Texas, the opposition
leader, who was TO nave closed the gen.
eral debate for his side was unab.a to
make his speech owing to a sore throat
and a mutual agreement was made for an
hours debate on each side just before
the final vote was taken. Speechmaking
today was mol of a very lively order, but
The crowds in the galleries continued.
Five members of the ways and means
committee spoke today, Messrs. Tuw-
ney. republican OF Minnesota: Dalzell.
republican of Pennsylvania; Russell, re-
publican of Connecticut; Payne, repub-
lican Of New York. and Steele, republi-

ATTITUDE QUESTIONABLE.

Washington, March 25.-Now that the
house has agreed to vote on the tariff
bill on the 3lst inst. the reception of
that measure by the senate becomes a
matter OF interest. 1t is hardly likely
that the bill will be passed by the senate
in time to become a law before the LIST
of next July.
1t will be a surprise TO many, but il is,
be at least six weeks in the senate
finance committee. This assertion was
made yesterday by n leading republican
member of the committee, who has had
considerable experience in these matters.
1t may not be generally known, but it
is a fact, that the senate finance COM
first line to the last. Every schedule is
to be carefully examined. For some
reason or other there is very little ap-
proval Of the bill on the republican side
OF the senate. The leaders all regard 1t
as full OF crudities. and they propose, as
they a y to make 1t symmetrical
throughout.
In n general way the schedules are
said to be too high. One Of the specific
objections is to the action OF the house
committee in removing many articles Of
raw material from the free list and max
ing them dutiable without reference to
the rates on the other articles affected, a
change which, it is declared, has result
ed in many instances in making the rate
on the raw material higher than that on
the manufactured product.
The changes to be made in the SEN
ate committee, covering practically every
schedule. will result in the reporting OF
a bill differing in important particulars
from the n which will pass the house.
1t will be debated in the senate at least
go days after 1t comes from committee.

recent massacre Of Armenians at Tokat,
the danger OF further outbreaks in Ana
tolia and the action OF the porte in semi
officially pointing out TO the Turkish
press and provincial officials lhat the
blockade OF the island of Crete by The
fleet OF he powers and the support given
10 the Turkish forces by the foreign
fleets was a triumph for the policy Oh
the sultan and have had their effect in
showing that thc Christians in Armenia
are in danger Of eXtermination.
Consequently it is semi-oticially stat
cd here that the British admiral in Gre
tan waters has beer notified not 10 send
any waIships of Great Britain to take
part in the proposed blockade OF the
ports OF Greece. At the same time, how
ever, in order to apparently avoid an
open rupture with the powers, Great
Britain will acquiesce in the blockade of
the Greek ports. According to the re-
ports in the diplomatic circles here the
powers have already been notified 20 this
effect and the withdrawal o: Great
Britain from the blockade is the one sub
ject discussed today in court and other
circles.
The sultan's advisers are making the
best of the situation by pointing to the
fact that Great Britain does not con-
stitute the whole of Europe and that SO
long as The sultan has the support of
Russia, France. Germany and Austria.
he has nothing to fear from Great Brit
ain. 1t is whispered that France will, il
all probability, follow the example of
Great Britain.
France, it is explained, could readily
AXE this step without disturbing to any
appreciable degree her accord with Rus
STA, and it is added that in any case the
French government would not risk tax
ing part in the blockade of Greece which
would be an act o: war. without first
consulting the chamber of deputies,
whose approval Of the coercion policy
is regarded here as being far from GER
tain.
II is stated that Great Britain has in
timated to the powers that if Greece is
blockaded steps should also be taken to
blockade the principal Turkish ports.
The last move OF Great Britain in the
Eastern game has undoubtedly called a
halt for the present in the coercive
measures and may, it is said, bring about
their abandonment.
In the meantime, in view OF the i'm
minent danger OF a clash on the frontiers
o: Greece which may bring about n de-
claration OF wal between Greece and
Turkey, Great Britain has definitely
proposed TO the powers hat steps be tax
en- 10 induce both Turkey and Greece 10
withdraw their forces half a mile from
the actual frontier. thus leaving Il mile
OF neutral ground between the opposing
armies.
Greece. it is explained, had previously
made a similar proposal to the Turkish
government, but the porte consulted
with the ambassadors OF Russia and Ger
many, seemingly the foremost friends OF
Turkey. at the present juncture. with
the result that the representatives OF
these powers advised the Turkish gov
eminent to decline the offer.

treaty resumed open session in order to
go on with the bankruptcy bill. The lat
ter measure, generally known as the
Tcrrey bankruptcy bill, was read at
length and Nelson OF Minnesota, offered
a substitute differing in a number of
particulars from the committee bill. The
debate has not YET opened.
Amended credentials were presented
in behalf OF John W. Henderson, ap-
pointed by the governor of Florida to

a statement from Hoar, acting chairman
lions that action pending in election
cases was delayed by uncertainty as to

Revised credentials were offered to the
elections committee. Stewart. populist
Of Nevada said the general idea was the
senato was capricious in its action on
these cases and there should be definite
and final settlement of the whole sub
ject. Spooner, republican Of Wisconsin,
suggested that the question had already
been deliberately argued and settled
settled both ways.
The inference from that suggestion"
pursued Stewart, is that we vote on
these cases according to our political
convictions. The manner OF settling
this is by no means of an international
agreement for the free coinage of silver

that is accomplished the senator from

made a determined attack upon the block

ent forces were pushed forward until
they occupied convenient positions for
attack and about 6 a. IN. the artillery
opened fire upon the Turkish block
house. The pieces of the Christians were
served with such admirable promptness
and precision so that in a short time
nothing remained TO the Turks but eX-
termination or evacuation. The Mussul-
mans, preferring the latter, left the fort
and commenced a retreat IN Suda, rely
ing upon the Turkish warships in the
bay TO save them from the Christians.
The sultan's feel opened 4 badly judg-
ed fire on the insurgents. in order to
cover the retreat from the block house.
The shell fell either short or FAR be-
yOnd the insurgent forces. Consequent
ly the Christians pushed forward, steadi-
ly, pressing hard upon the rear of the
Turks and keeping up a continual
skirmish fire. The Turks made a stand
now and then, pouring a few volleys in
the direction OF the insurgent skirmish
lines
