The Columbia State had an inter
view with General Watts, on Sunday,
and although the general would give
out nothing defiuile, he talked so as to
create the impression that the war

there by Lieutenant Stokes, of the

ship Maine.
There is no truth in the report that
an explosion has occurred at the
wreck of the Maine, as might have
been inferred by the reports which
reached Key West on Saturday.
The Maine is actually in ribbons
but enough of the vessel remains tC
make possible a determination d
whether the explosion came from with
out or from within.
The officers Of the Maine do moi
publicly discuss the theory of a sub
marine niue which may have been Sc
off by explosion but it evidently ha:
weight with them. They are parlicu
larly anxious for points to be gathered
from the examination of the plates o
the hull. Their belief is that lhes'
will have to establish whether the ex
plosion force came from without u
not. The nature Of the damage Il
the port side has not been fully set
tied but the weight of opinion seem
TO be that the hole was made by al
external explosion.
Captain Slgsbee thinks that the in
vestigation to be made by him will h
completed in three days and the resul
laid before the court of inquiry.

NO BUGGY
ON'THE MARKET

rs EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUG
i GY at the price it is sold. 1t is not
only the best buggy built in the southern
states but Is also the best finished, in
painting and trimming, while its dura-
bility is equal to almost any requirement.
The painting, never allows it to present
shoddy, makeshift appearance at any
stage of its existence. While it is made to
sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer
and represent value equal to the price
for which it is sold. 1t is LIGHT AND
STRONG and always built. of the very
best material to be had, and in all. stages
of its construction it is passed through
thorough, severe and critical inspection
by one whose first thought is to have it
built as near pefection as human skill can
accomplish. We make them to order
or keep them in stock, and it will be to
your interest to consult us when in need
of vehicle.

and passion, that there could be no ac
cessory thereto, the idea of an acces
sorry implying malice aforethought
This point being overruled by the pre-
siding judge, an appeal was taken
The point, so far as is known. is ar
entirely new one in this state. The
court shows that while it was not
formerly so held, it is now the rule
that the conviction of the principal is
only prima facie evidence against the
accessory, and he may offer parol evi'
dence to show that the principal was
not, in fact, guilty of the felony
charged. The rule, the court holds,
should work both ways, and the state
should be allowed to prove by paro
evidence on the trial of the accessory
that the principal was, in fact, guilty
of higher crime than that OF which
he has been convicted. The decision
quotes from Bishop on Criminal Law
as follows: If a contrary rule would
he unjust, so in natural reason IT Is
unjust to hold the state concluded IN
its prosecution of one person by Its
failure to convict another" The eff
feet of the dismissal of the appeal will
be to cause the case TO be brought ul
for trial at the next term of court, al
though it may be postponed. From
the language of the decision it seems
that it will be competent to reopen the
whole matter, and evidence may hi
introduced showing that the man wh'
fired the shot which killed Gus Tan
ner is guilty of murder while he il
now serving his sentence for man
slaughter. The facts of the killing
will possibly again be gone over il

American sailors. Said one shipmaster the
other day: Il have not had an American
sailor in my vessel for so long that / cannot
remember the last one. They are all Nor
wegians, Danes, Germans, Nova Scotians
or p. e. Is, Irishmen or other foreigners.
1t seems as If there were no American sail
ors afioat now"
When Shipping Commissioner Tolman
asked this very shipmaster IL he had room
on board his vessel for a bright young
American boy who wanted to learn sea-
manship, the master replied: "Why, my
dear sir, what use is a boy to me? / could
not afford to pay him s. month. 1 have
no use for boy on my ship. A man whit
eats of the bread of my owners must be
able to pay for it and his salt besides
Until some chance is given boys to learn
seamanship on American vessels there is
little chance of there being a great in
crease in the numbers of American sea-
men. This is recognized to be a serious
question by the navy department, and for
the purpose of encouraging American boys
to learn seamanship the apprentice serv-
ice was inaugurated. This is giving the
navy an able corps of petty and warrant
officers, but the enlisted men in the navy
are still mostly foreigners. The reluctance
or shipmasters to take boys into their ves-
sells and teach them the rudiments OF sea
manship probably explains the scarcity

NO CHANCE FOR BOYS ON SHIPS
Sea Captains Nowadays Reluctant to
Take Them on VOYAGES

Hardly day passes that Shipping Com
missioner Tolman does not have two or
three applications from boys who want 10
ship as sailors. The most of these boys are
between the ages of Is and IS and have
never been out of the sight of land or seen
a vessel larger than a small coaster. All
of these applicants are treated kindly by
Mr.. Tolman, who, after questioning them
as to their homes and parents. their inten-
tions and reasons for wanting to go to
sea, generally ends the interview by assur-
ing the would-be sailors that he has no
opportunity for them to ship at present,
but will bear them In mind and give them
the first chance that comes along. He ad-
vises them to call again in few days, but
1t is not often that the shipping commits
sioner ever hears from them again. The
boys are anxious to see something of the
world, and in nearly every case have good
homes and opportunities for entering some
kind of business which will prove more
lucrative and far more pleasant than a
sailors life.
The applications from boys are so rumer-
Gus that Mr. Tolman does not pay much
attention to them now He seldom has a
chance for boys to ship on large vessels
as no sea captains wish to take them.
There is sometimes a chance for boy 10
go to sea in the larger vessels which are
bound on long voyages for South America
or the West Indies, but as nearly all the
vessels sailing out of Portland are in the
coasting trade the shipmasters have no
use for boys and will not take them IL they
can help it.
And yet, though the shipmasters will not
take boys and give them an opportunity of
learning seamanship, they all complain
because there are not to be found more

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Selling orders, es-
pecially from the smaller holders, were
very much in evidence at the opening of
wheat trading, and as limited support was
given the market the tone at the start and
for some time after was very weak Open
ing prices of July, which closed yesterday
at 9lssc, ranged from 81 to 9OA, and in May
from LOS to 1.04%, these figures being Ia
1Ac decline from yesterday. Selling or
ders came on the market quickly for a
time and although no large blocks were
unloaded, the effect of the hammering was
shown in decline to 90ss in July and 1.041a
in May. There the market reacted, under
moderate covering by shorts, July reach
ing 91A and May 1.05ls.
These prices proved to be the highest
points of the day. Selling started afresh
at the advance, and prices gradually tend
ed downward and fluctuations were fire.
quent The break in Wall street securi-
ties and the increasing gravity of the Gu
ban reports were the overshadowfng in
fluences. Letter was credited with buy
ing at the decline. The market became
exceedingly dull and remained so until
about / 2oclock. Then radical weakness
developed. Offerings of long wheat, which
had been small for some time, increased
in volume, under the influence of rather
sensational Cuban news. There was pres
sure on May wheat. the crowd believed
due to Letter, and this served to increase
the nervousness of holders, and prices
steadily declined. Closing cables all
showed weakness. Near the close the
indIhet became very weak, ana little sup
port from any quarter was forthcoming
May declined to and closed at 1.03h, and
July declined to S91adS9ss. closing at S9zs
the latter delivery being supported by

Corn was active and weak Influenced
by the war news and the break in wheat
May closed Il of a cent lower.
The market for oats was active and

Provisions were only moderately active
