Pierre, bound from St. Malo for Mique-

Banks on the 18th inst. and almost
Immediately foundered. She had 73

the boats, but only one of these boats
has thus far been heard from. When
she left the vessel her complement
was seven men. Three of them per-
ished from exposure and hunger. The
bodies of the first two were thrown
overheard, but the survivors, in their
desperation, were driven to cannibal-
ism and ate the third. The boat was
picked up by the schooner Victor Eu-

The recent legislature made about two
hundred new laws, all of which will be
in force by July 1st next Under Demo-
cratic State government, when State ex-
penditures were less than now, the laws
were published in the newspapers and all
people informed of enactments that effected
them. The present method of promulgating
the laws is to send copies to the lawye
and the people can pay them for informa-
tion desired, or rely on the munifcence of
the editors to give gratuitous publication,
which very few can afford. The new system
is satisfactory to the lawyers, nobody else.

The RINK A SKATING MECCA
Three Sessions and a Half-MiIe Race
Occurred Yesterday.
Champion Sites Defeated Morris
by Less Than Ten Feet-Large
Crowds at the Palace.

Washington's birthday was a gala occa-
Of skating had ample opportunity to enjoy
their favorite pastime. In the afternoon
and evening sessions were held, and the
unusually large attendance at each one
showed how fully these opportunities were
appreciated by the skating public
The feature OF the evening was a half
mile skating race between Champion Harry
Sites and Paul Morris, one OF the speedeSt
amateurs in the city. The race was run Off
after the Canadian fashion OF each man
starting from opposite sides OF the rink,
and the novel scheme fully justified the
value with which IL is regarded in the
North There was not the least chance OF
the contestants fouling each other, and the
finish was one OF the closest seen at the
rink this season.
The start was made promptly at 8 O'Clock
and the short distance made the pace "A clip
ping one fro the start Up to the close Of
the third lap it looked as though Sites
was sure winner. but in the fourth lap
Morris let out an extra burst of speed
However. Sites started his usual strong
sprint early in the last lap. and went over
the line a winner by less than ten feet.
Morris deserves special praise for his eX-
cellent work. He is undoubtedly one OF
the coming speed skaters of the city. The
time was 1:31 Ia. which is very good
for the distance.
There will be no session at the Palace to-
day, but tomorrow the afternoon and even
ing sessions will commence as usual. and
continue through the remainder OF The
week.

Brodie said he considered it very unfair

gone to an enormous expense in bringing
off the match between FItz and COrbett
and as he had suffered such great loss
by past failures, he should be entitled
to all the cream at Carson City and not be
handicapped by counter events at Reno.
Brodie says that it required $4,000

passage Of the prize fighting law by the
