Washington, July 31.-Admiral Sicard,
commandant of the New York navy yard,
has transmitted to the Navy Department
a report made by Capt Sigsbeee of the
Maine, upon the recent collision of that
vessel in East river. The report is prac-
tically the same as the newspaper ac-
counts of the affair, showing that the col
lision resulted from the preceding coils
ion of the excursion steamer and the coal
tow which drove all of the other craft
quickly across the river out of the way,
but directly in the path of the Maine,
which was thus obliged to choose be-

White Republicans Angry.

Atlanta, Ga, July 3l.-At meeting OF
the Republican executive committee of
Pickens county, held at Jasper today,
resolutions were adopted announcing the
partiality OF the present administration
for negro Republicans and declaring that
the white members of the party in the
ninth Congressional district would not
stand being Disseminated against in
favor of the negroes. The meeting was
heated and sensational and the passage of
the resolutions denouncing the admins
tration outright was narrowly averted.
The ninth district contains the bulk of
the white Republicans in Georgia and
their indignation has been aroused by
the appointment of Henry Bucker, col
ored, as collector Of internal revenue.

Claim at Montreal.

| Claim at Montreal
| Lewiston, July 31.-Mrs. Napoleon
Charron of Lewiston, Henrietta Trudeau
and Onesime Gudona of Montreal,
Clorinda Paterman Of Lewiston and Peter
Lequrour of Biddeford are claimants to a
large piece of land in the city of Montreal
valued at 81, 10000 situated in one of
the adjoining villages originally farm
of 100 acres, but now within the corporate
limits Of Montreal and built up to resi-
dences and business blocks.
The case has been in the courts for II
years, is now in the court of the Queens
bench on appeal and bids fair to go to
the Queen's privy council in London.
Years ago, according to the story of the
claimants a man by the name of
Veronique Juliet, owned farm on the
outskirts of Montreal, comprising 100
acres. Juliet was taken sick and be.
ing unable to carry on the farm, leased it
to neighbor by the name of Henry
Pigeon. The latter paid rental on the
farm for three or four years and upon
the death of Juliet continued to occupy
the property.
Juillet's children were all young at the
time Of his death and there was no one
who took enough interest in them and
who knew anything about the transaction
between their father and Pigeon to look
out for their interests. When they grew
up however, they learned that the prop
erty that was supposed to belong to
Pigeon had once been owned by their
father and they began to make an invest
igation to ascertain how Pigeon got pos
session of it. When Pigeon was asked in
relation to the property he said he had
bought it of Juliet. Asked it he had a
deed he said he had, but he declined to
produce it,
After the case got into the courts it was
claimed by Pigeon that he had bought
the property of Juliet and number of
witnesses were present when the property
was sold. Some of these witnesses were
80 years old or older and while they stated
that they were present when Pigeon
bought of Juliet, they did not remember
any deed was passed, that any writings
whatever were made or that a notary was
present at the time. ALI they could re.
member was that Pigeon bought the
property.
The case was decided against the claim
ants in the lower court and they took an
appeal, which carried the case to the court
of the Queens bench, where it is at
present.

Died in the Canoe.

Bangor, July 31.-It is now believed
that Fred Sands of Sebec, whose death
at Upper Roach pond, by falling from his
canoe, was reported week ago, did not
die from drowning at all, but was dead
before he left the canoe. Edward Lam
nigan was on the lake in boat at the
time Sands met his death, and was SO
near that he would have heard his cries
for help if no had made any. Lannigan
was back to Sands and SO did not see
him when the canoe tipped over. He
thinks that Sands died from rheumatism
of the heart, as he had been troubled
with the disease at times so that he was
unable to attend to his work.

Interesting Announcement From Devil.

DEVILS Lake, N. D., July 31.-United
States Senator Henry G. Hansbrough Of
this city will, in October, marry Miss
Mary Berri Chapman, beautiful and
talented young woman of Washington.
Senator Hansbrough met his future wife
several months ago and lost no time set
ting about winning her for his own. She
is the only daughter of Mrs. f. S. Chap
man of Kingman place in the national
capital. Her brother is employed in the
geological survey and is now in CaIifor-
MIA but will come east to attend the we'd
ding, which is to take place in New
York.
Miss Chapman is not only beautiful
girl, but is an adept in painting, an able
writer and one of the best illustrators in
Washington. The Senator was formerly
an editor, and was therefore greatly in
terested in this young lady's newspaper
work and her illustrations. She has been
very successful in both of these lines OF
work.
Senator Hansbrough is 40 years old. He
is a native of Illinois, and went west as
a lad and began life in California as a
printer on San Jose paper. He came to
Dakota in 1882, and was soon q leader in
Republican politics. He was elected to
the Senate in 1884, and was reelected this
year. The post-nuptial plans of the Sen
ator and Miss Chapman are secret.

The State Department Trying to Unrayel
the Tangle.

Washington, July 31.-The state depart
ment officials are trying to unravel the
tangle into which the Nicaraguan mis-
sion has got since Captain Merry of Cali
fornia has been pronounced persona non
grata by the diet of the. Greater Republic
of Central America. When Rodriguez
was received by President Cleveland, the
President stated that the treaties with
the states compromising the new govern
ment would be continued and the United
States would look to the states for their
fulflment. This position, it is under
stood, has since been confirmed by the
State Department. and in dealing with
those countries, treaties made with the
separate governments are considered in
force and binding.
Neither the President not the state de-
partment wished to take any steps which
might be considered objecting to the Or
ganization of the several governments of
South America in single government,
but the administration did not want to
abrogate our treaties with those govern
ments by the recognition of one minister
accredited from all the states. involved.
1t is said that way may be found by
this government to overcome the protest
of the diet of Central America, which as
now constituted includes the governments
of Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras,
by sending Captain Merry to Costa RIGA
and having the United States legation
established at the capital of that state,
Costa RIGA being one of these states of
the mission to which he was accredited.

capacity in the preparation of all the
tariff bills with which Congress has dealt
since 1872. The comparison is made in
rates expressed in ad valorem terms be-
