LONDON. Jan. q, 1a97.-The Govern
ment has issued a blue book containing
the official correspondence In regard to

correspondence shows that on September

powers take measures to enforce their
proposals and that in the event Of un-

applied, that power should not oppose
the action of any, other.
Austria gave her assent to this propo-
sition without qualification and later Ger

against Turkey must be unanimous. and
further. that the integrity of the Ofto-
man Empire must be maintained. Italy
gave her absolute assent to the proposal

involved the application of coercion to
make 1T operative.
In interposing this objection. M. Shisa-

BLOCKING REFORM.
Republican Senators Bound to Have
a Whack an The Post Offieas


WASHINGTON, Jan. Il, 1Ss7-In the
Senate today, Mr.. Hill (Dem., N. Y, ask
ed unanimous consent to have the bill
fixing the term of Postmasters at four
years taken up and passed. Objection
was made by Mr.. Sherman (Rep., o.,
who suggested that the bill go over till
tomorrow.
Mr.. Chandler Rep.; N. H.) stated that
the bill had been reported unanimously
from the Post Office Committee; that it
had been carefully scrutinized by Sena-
tors of all politics, and there seemed to
be no objection to it, 1t simply provided
that the term of all Postmasters shauld
be understood to be for four years, sub
Ject, OF course to the power of remov-
al which necessarily inhered in the Ex-
ecutive
Mr.. Hale (Rep., Me) suggested that the
passage of the bill would lead to a gene
raj scramble for these offices.
The scramble is now said Mr.. Chand-
Ter. land the object of the bill is to pre-
vent the custom of partisan inreads ON
new Administration for the purpose of
clearing out Of office all the postmasters
of the country. 1t proposes to make the
term four years; postmasters can remain
in office after that term. There Is no pro-
at the end Of their term. If the Senator
from Maine will study the subject with
his usual acumen he will see that the evil
he fears will be less under this bill than
it is nov"
Mr.. Hale-I am afraid it will be greater.
Let the bill go over.
The bill was laid aside without action.

JURY ROOM DISCLOSURES.
Murderer Bramss Case I'm the U. s..
Circuit Court

BOSTON, Jan. a. 1S97.-The Bran case
was resumed in the United States Cir
cult Court today. The District Attorney
objected to the form of sunmoning wit
nesses for the defence and Judge Colt
said the Court would issue any order
deemed proper. The matter over which
there was so much discussion previous to
adjournment yesterday was then decided
in favor of the defence.
Judge Colt announced that Foreman
Jack could tell about the experiments in
the jury ROOM and what Juror Booth said
about the scrap of paper given him by
one Of the court employees, asking him if
Mr.. Jack was asked by Mr. Cottei,
Bram'S counsel, If he and Juror Briggs
engaged in conversation concerning the
defendant, but the question was objected
to by District Attorney Eoar, who 6eciai-
ed the proceedings did not allow such
testimony as conversation between jurors
Judge Colt at first stated that Mr.. Cot
ter could proceed with the question, but
was INTERRUPTED by Mr.. Hoar. A con-
and Judge Colt stated that the Court
had reversed its decision and had de-
cided TO exclude evidence relating to,con-
versation between jurors in the jury
ernment and Mr.. Cotter did not proceed
further with the witness, who left the
stand.
Patrick H. Concannon was put on the
stand in connection with the claim Of
the defence that one of the jurors, Mr.
Briggs, had prejudged the case. The witt
ness however, could not remember hear
ing anything said by Mr.. Briggs regard
ing Bran.
Edgar Z. Beam, a reporter, testified
that he and another reporter had a con.
versation with Briggs on January 2, ST.
ter the termination of the trial. Mr. Hoar
objected TO the witnesses telling what
the conversation was about and the OBJ
lection was in part sustained. Mr. Cot
ter tried in various ways to get the wit
ness to state what Mr. Briggs had sail
regarding the case. but the Court ruled
that the questions were tco broad.

We're swept in upon the beach on the
tops of the waves.
Then the masts began to whirl around
and the life-saving crew knew that they
would soon be rooted up from the hull
OF the vessel. In few minutes the miz-
zenmast came down with crash and at
the same moment cry from the six men
in the rigging of the foremast told those
on the beach that 1t was all over.
The mainmast and the foremast fell
over owe a after the other The mainmast bent en-
air and fell back. The six men Went
down with it. They could be plainly seen,
and their cries, as their last hold dis
appeared, could be heard by those on the
beach.
In few moments great quantities of
Wreckage began to come ashore The
name of the vessel was not known up@to
that time but on piece of the wreckage
that same ashore her name has, to be
made out.
At the last moment it was seen that
two of those who were clinging to the
rigging of the foremast were not men, as
had been supposed, but that one was a
woman and the other was child. 1t was
supposed that the woman was the wife
of Captain Arey of the schooner, and
that the child was theirs
The wreckage showed that the lost
schooner was the Nahum Chaplin. The
Chaplin was a vessel of 500 tons burden
and belonged in Rockland, Me. She was
commanded by Captain Arey, She was
from Baltimore, with miscellaneous
cargo, bound for Boston, Mass.
About half an hour after the foremost
went down mans body was washed
ashore with the wreckage- From the
dress 1t was surmised that he was either
the captain or the mate of the lost YES
sci.
The papers of the vessel were washed
ashore soon after, and the beach now
for miles is strewed with the wreckage
of the vessel. Great crowds are patrol
ling the beach for miles, searching for
the bodies of those who were lost. but
up to noon only .one body, that of the
man already mentioned, had been re-
covered. The sea was very high, but
going down.

EIGHT HOUR FOLLY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q, 1S97.-Replying
to Senate resolution as to the alleged
violation of the eight hour law by Isaac
Walker & Sons, contractors, in making
repairs on the naval hospital at Brook
lyn, N. Y, the Secretary of the Navy
says the Department has no information
on the subject. The law has been OBJ
served in the department SO far as all
employees under it's direction and control
was concerned, but the Department had
never assumed any authority over the
action of contractors or sub-contractors
in the matter of their employees. If the
for violations of the eight-hour law, 1t
would have been necessary to station in
spectors at points where buildings were
being erected, mines where stone and
marble were quarried, mills where lumber
was sawed, shipyards building govern
ment ships, ETC., necessitating ran army
of inspectors and appropriations for their

A YlDDISH SLANDER suit
Difference Of Opinion as to the
Meaning Of ''Du bist
Ganif."

A large part of the congregation of the
Jewish Synagogue at No. "a Grand street,
Hoboken, are in the Circuit Court today
either as witnesses in the suit of Good
man Beerman against Aaron Becker for
$500 for slander, or as interested spec
tators. Beerman keeps an Orthodox
butcher shop in Grand street and Becker
was one of his best customers until they
had a falling out. The feeling between
them became very bitter.
On July they met in the synagogue
and Becker fired this at Beerman without
the slightest warning:-"Er verkauft
tripha wurst zu!''
The blow staggered Beerman and he
almost tainted. He was just recovering
when Becker followed up the ATTACK with
this:-"Du bist ganif!' That finished
Beerman and he had to be carried away
For the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the Hebrew language it
may be said that the first broadside meant
that Beerman not only made bad sau-
sages, but he did not make them III an
Orthodox manner. The parting shot
which hoored Beerman was partly in
German and partly in Hebrew. .'pu bist"
means you are, and 'ganif' means thief.
AS thetremarks We're madesin the pres
ences of several of Beermans customers
they withdrew their patronage and his
business went to thet dogs.
There. is difference Of. opinion among
Some declare that It means 'thief and
others maintain that it is only playful
Hebraic slang phrase without any par
sticular meaning. The defendant ad-
mitted he used the word but he did not
mean to accuse the plaintiff of being a
thief.
The case was still on at recess. Lawyer
John T. Weller appears for the plaintiff
and Alexander Young for the defendant.

DEFENDING THE TREATY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1ss7.-Con-
traverting the criticism of the new gen

quarters that an European ruler under it's
terms might be called upon to settle
questions involving the Monroe doctrine,
il is pointed out at the State Depart
ment that territorial matters are to he

treaty which stipulates final "award

INFERIOR RUSSIAN WOOL

Heenan, at Odessa, warns American wool

that Russian woods are being shipped to

NOT THE LORD DUFrERIN.
Derelfct Sighted by the Steamer
EaliIeo Not the Ovcrfs ne v essel.

| NEW YORK, Jan. 81, 1S97.-When the
Belgian steamer Calico, from Rio Jan
| eiro, arrived at Quarantine this morning,
one of the officers reported that on De-
cember 20 while on the outward passage
a full rigged, four-masted stranded ship
was sighted. AS the description tailed
| somewhat with that of the long overdue
British ship Lord Dufferin, Captain
| Roberts, which left Montevideo on Octo-
Der d for this port, 1t was thought the
abandoned vessel might be she.
| Chief Officer Haskins, of fsthe Calico de-
clares, however. that it is not, as the
| derelict sighted, which is on a reef south
Of Pernamhuco. has been there. for over
two years. The Calico travels almost the
same coarse the Lord Dufferin would un-
der ordinary conditions. but the captain
reports having seen nothing of her.
Chief Officer Haskins says there is moth
ing extraordinary or alarming in the veS-
sells absence, although she is IS days out.
He says a singular adverse combination
OF elements has existed on the route the
Lord Dufferin IS expected to travel for the
past two months, which would easily ac-
count for her delay. ALI sailing
craft, he says, have been practi-
cedented light winds. Trade winds
have been remarkably light, too, and
there ghayeebeen no currents to speak of.
SYhat8s little there was have been ad-
verse to homeWard bound vessels. These
c0nditions Mr.. Haskips says, have been
experienced on the last two voyages of
the CtaltleO. On the trip just ended, they
had light battling winds from the
Equator TO north of the West
India Islands, and also heavy
snterfered with the progress of a sailing
vessel. During the last week of the voy-
age the Calico encountered heavy north
west winds and remarkably high seas.
Under these circumstances the chief off,
Ger thinks there need be no unnecessary
alarm over the fate of the missing ship.
In connection with the Lord Duffering's s
absence is romantic though sad story.
Captain Roberts, her commander married
a young gsScotchwoman shortly before de-
parting ON his present voyage. The Cap
tain sent his young bride to this country
on a fast steamer, telling her he would
The bride awaited ianpatiently for days
to hear tidings of her husbands craft
But they did not come and she, be-
gan to fear the worst. The strain
upon her was SO great that she eventually
became distracted and at times acted as
though she were insane. For a month
past she has been a familiar figure at
the Battery, where she frequently stands
for hours peering out toward the sea in
hopes of catching glimpse of the long
overdue vessel. Daily she visits the ship
nenWs office at the Battery seeking the
news that will bring good cheer to her
heavily burdened heart.
When the young bride reached these
shores two months or more ago. her hair
was black as coal, but the worry and
anxiety over her husbands absence has
turned it almost gray.
81 know he'll return to me-" she fre-
quently says with tears in her eyes.
"but, oh, how long he has been away"
