c0RWiEE'S EMBEZZLEMENT.
In the Confession of The Naval Poymds-
ter He Fieads He Was Rubbed
by Clerk

NEWPORT, R. l., May 4.-The confess
sion of Naval Paymaster Corwine, charged
with enlightenment and desertion, was
read to the courtmartial this morning,
after which the court sent a secret verdict
to Washington. Corwine said while on
the Nipsic in 1888 his clerk, whom he
trusted implicitly, robbed him, hut kept
the accounts so cleveriy the defalcation
was not di covered toll the end OF the
cruise. He had two alternatives. the hon.
orable one of reporting the matter, which
would show him to have been a careless
official, or to replace the money. He
chose the latter and his bondsmen made
good the deficit.
The bondsmen soon began to threaten
him and he was obliged to take the
Governments money to repay them.
After borrowing from friends and others
to keep the accounts with the Govern
ment apparently straight for time he
found it impossi BILE to regain lost ground
and so embezzled $4,000 more and fed.
With this statement he resigned the case.
Letters were read showing his previous
good conduct. One from Commander
Lyon testified 70 Corwine's bravery in the
great Samoan storm.

Gently the movement resulted in some
thing substantial.
An organization was finally perfected
as an independent cadet company-not as
a part of the State militia, as was at first
contem plated-under the name of the
Old Capital Cadets and the m embers were
equipped from their own private purses.
A notable feature of their equipment is
the arms which they use in the manual.
These pieces are hintlocks and mczz e.
loading rifles which have been handed
down from sire TO son since the time of
the padres. the more modern of them all
being veterans of the Mexican war These
guns are highly plized by all Monterey
amos and the TACT of their being used by
the boys of the new company inspires
feeling of interest and respect by the
young men. The ancient pattern of these
pieces, however, makes them difficult to
use according 10 the new army tactics and
it is likely that they will of necessity be
abandoned for drill purposes and brought
out only to do honor to special occasions.
A retired officer of the United States
army Is acting as drillmaster and as the
cadets are otherwise well differed they
bio fair to enjoy long and prosperous
career and hope to become the nucleus of
a regiment that will be as famous as the
cele brated New York Seventh.

An exception to this rule was found in the

The Swedish Navigator Confident
That He Can Penetrate to
the Polar Sea.

VANCOUVER. B. c., May Aus
tralia, by virtue of her position in the
Southern ocean, naturally looks to the
antarctic as the field of scientific explora-
ton and research. Interest in the icy south
is revived by G. E. Borchgreyink, who has
been to the lands about which he writes
and would again venture to their lnhospit-
able shores. In his appeal to the Austria.
lian Governments Mr.. Borchgrevnk briefly
recounts the history of antarctic explora-
ton and deals generally with some OF the
scientific and commercial results that are
likely to follow further investigation by
well-equipped expedition to South Vic
toria Land. He submits to the Govern
ments map of the Antarctic showing the
route taken by Sir James Clark Ross with
other drawings.
Australia is deeply interested in the
Swedish navigator's assertion that he will
be able to find the south magnetic pole
that Sir James Clark Ross, the discoverer
of Victoria Land, failed TO find in 184l. The
steamship Warrmoo to-day brings the
news that the Colonial Governments and
scientific men will take up Borchgrevink's
proposal and place him at the head OF
Wcll-SilippC0 CApCuiIAoh. LIZ
navigator says in proof that his theory is
teuabie.
II noticed very low barometric
pressure within the antarctic circle, such
as has also been observed in the same
latitude within the arctic circle. This
low barometric indication was not lore
cast of rough weather, and even with an
indication of 90 we had constantly fine
weather within the antarctic circle. be-
lieve that this low pressure is in great
measure due to the rotation Of the globe
and thus TO the law of gravitation. While
the globe we live upon was still CLOWN 6
mass the matter was thrown toward the
equator or toward the periphery OF the
rotation and therefore The globe is fat
tened toward the ends of its axis OF rota-
ton. Now. l believe that air naturally
follows the same law as does the rest Of
the gobe-hence the lower barometric
pressure toward the poles rather than
| toward the equator.
ut has been contended against my
theory that it cannot hold good, as it oes
not act everywhere within the arctic
circle. l reply that rather than taking
exec ptional conditions in the arctic as a
standard we ought to prove why the CEN
trifugal power does not act every where in
the north"

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 4. The
ship Warrimoo from Australia re-
ports that the steamship Boutwell, Castle
took fire 900 miles from the port of Ade-
laide. The matches were ope2ed and
water poured down, but 10 no avail. The
matches were battened down and water
and steam pumped into the hold. Three
hundred passengers were driven from
their cabins and crowded in the fore part
of the steamship like panicky sheep.
For three days no Roadway could be
made against the flames. and eighty
women and sixty children, expecting
every minute to be lost, were accompany
ing the crews tireless and never-ceasing eff
forts by prayers and lamentations. Flames
were finally got under control and the big
steamship was towed into port mere
shell. Not single life was lost.
The schooner Myrtle. which was
wrecked. on Barrier Reef, off Lizard
Island, is total loss. The Myrtle was
running TO British Guinea. heavily freight

the wreck and signaled the steamer War
rago. which proceeded to the wreck and
rescued the passengers and crew, I'D
ing Captain Inman. Mr. Tenbury and an
able seaman named Patterson refused to
leave the wreck, though the sea was run
ming mountains high and the craft was
going to pieces. A boat was left for their
use, but it is not known whether they es-
capped.
The steamer Burdikin is total wreck
on a reef sixteen miles southwest of
Woodlark Island. The schooner Canonie
rescued ali on board. When the vessel
struck the passengers and crew took to
boats and reached one of the Alcester
group of islands. After much privation
they were picked up by a passing schooner.
The Burdikin had, besides heavy freight,
cargo OF gold. Insurance companies

HELD AT PORT TOWNSEND.
Landing Refused Several Hundred Coolies
En- Roufe to the Nashville
ExDosHion.

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, May A.
The steamer Kingston this morning on ito
regular trip from Victoria to Port Town
send called at Diamond Point to take
aboard the Chinese who have been there
for some time in quarantine because they
had been aboard OF the smallpo1-infected
steamship Victoria, which arrived two
weeks ago from the Orient. They had
had been mustered by DR.. Stimson, United
States officer in charge of the station, and
none were found missing. Accordingly
they were formed into single file, and $50
Chinese went aboard the Kingston, fol-
lowed by "a Japanese. These are sup
posed to be actors bound for the exposi-
ton al Nashville, Tenn.
Some months ago the promoters of this
exposition procured permission from the
Treasury Department to bring into the
country number of Chinese to illustrate
their manners and customs in their
Oriental home. No particular significance
was attached to the movement until 200
coolies had been permitted to enter. Then
it dawned upon the officials of the Treasury
Department thst they were being i'm posed
upon, and the result was that an order was
issued limiting the mum Der who could still
claim the privilege of com ing in to the land
of the Stars and Stripes. Unfortunately
for the Orientals which went through here
to-day, this order went into effect while
they were en- route. They arrived to learn
.hat there was great possibility that the
majorlty. il not all OF them, would be sen t
back at once.
While the matter was under advise
ment DR.. Stimson, learning that smallpox
had afflicted two of the crew of the vessel
while in the Orient and that the Victoria
had not undergone the fumigation re-
quired by the quarantine laws of this
country, ordered the entire crowd into
quarantine. This was great relief to the
customs officials. as it afforded plausible
excuse for OBTAINING the Celestials until
the case could be thoroughly Investigated.
The result of this investigation has been
TO limit the entire number TO be admitted
to $50, and as already ITO have gained en-
trance, only a small number of those
aboard the Kingston will be landed.
On arriving at Tacoma, the entire party
will be tran ,ferred TO the steamer Sehome,
now in the "ooneyard" there, to be held
until the customs authorities get through
with them. Seventy-one will be passed.
and the remaining 259 must go back to
China by the next steamer.
