TOUGH TIME OFF NEW CASTLE

A light thaw like to-day's does not
lessen the damaging ice in the Della
ware river. Late Saturday afternoon
the Chiswick passed in at the Delaware
BreaSwater. About o'clock Sunday
afternoon she had reached a point in
the river off New Castle. when the ice
blocked her way. An anchor was cast
to hold the vessel, but it proved useless,
as was seen soon afterwards, when
the vessel began to drag, she being
forced down the stream by the ice. De-
spite all efforts on the part of the crew
the vessel was gradually pushed far
ther and farther down the river
At > O'Clock yesterday morn
ing she came to stop
fetching up" nearly off Fort Delaware
after having been dragged a distance oi
eight miles. Several hours later, when
the tide rose full the vessel ficated
and by that time the ice was in such
a condition that the vessel could pro
ceed 20 the city The experience of The
Aral was more or less similar to thai
of the Chiswick

Report That Eight Vessels Are
Caught in Arctic Ice Pack.
GOVERNMENT SHOULD Send RELIEF
So Says Lieut.. Stoney, U. S. NJ,
Vino is Familiar With Situation.
STORY OF ILL TREATMENT

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November g.
According to the news from the arctic
brought by returning whalers, eight ves-
sells are now held fast in the ice The
steam whalers Belvidere, Orca, Jessie H.
Freeman and the schooner Rosario are
near Point Barrow, and the steam whalers
Newport. Fearless. JEANNE and bark Wan
derer are off Return reef. The latter four
vision station. Capt. McGregor of the
karluk thinks that when the ice breaks up
these vessels will be ground to pieces.
AT Point Barrow the situation is not so
critical. The four ice-bound ships are about
six miles off the point. Liebes provision
station can feed them. It is yet possible
for stiff northwest wind to bring these
vessels out of danger.
The bark Gayhead, Capt. Chas G. Foley
brings back some sailors, who assert that
they were iil-fed and suffered extreme pun
ishment at the hands of the captain and
first mate, Frank Enas. They declare they
will unite and sue the company for dam
ages.
Lieut.. G. NJ. Stoney, U. S. N. who has
had much experience in the arctic, declares
that it is the duty of the government to t
once send relief expedition to furnish
supplies to the ice-bound whalers.
Eight more of the lost Navarho's men
have reached this city. One of them, John
Johnson, so badly frozen that his toes
had to be amputated.

WAR ON THE LOTTERIES.

General James N. Tyner. assistant attor-

prosecution for offenses against the postal
laws should devolve on the Office of the
assistant attorney general for the Post
Office Department, instead of the Depart
ment of Justice, as at present.
During the fiscal year 244 fraud orders,
under the amended lottery laws, were is
sued. Sixty-four were subsequently re-
voked, most of the persons having aban-

laws strictly. and have held them all to be
constitutional, thus sustaining the depart
