vessels Which Have Sailed and Never been
Heard of--Fhe Marie Celeste-An Ameri.
can Brig That Was Towed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When q well-found ship leaves port
and Is never afterwards heard from, 1t
is put down as a mystery OF the sea.
When a dead body encased In an un-
identified life-jacket Is lifted up by the
eleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, is recorded as a
mystery Of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump OF distress Sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams ana
planks floating silently on the white
crests. and in the dark hollows OF the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries OF the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man mas
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their secrets,
but the cruel old ocean never does.
There are greater secrets In old
Neptune's care than those of the miss
Ing ship. The Naronic went away and
never came back. So did the CITY OF
Boston, City of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City of London, City Of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and a score OF others.
Yet the disappearance OF these craft
are ordinary mysteries of the sea. A
greater mystery still Is when ere"
abandons it's ship and Is never again
heard from. while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
ont giving the least trace OF those who
had been In charge OF her.
Such a case was that Of the Marie
Celeste, and it Is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner
or the Flying Dutchman" aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance OF
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
iect of an extensive investigation by
the State Department IN Washington,
and 1t is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and early In the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
in the Mediterranean. Several months

A Wish.
Blame once attached to men who
spoke
So frequently and at such length. /
For verbiage Is too oft the cloak
OF weakness rather than Of
strength.
But since the noise Of battle shook
The sphere we tenant, through and
through,
And sorrows rose where'er we'd look,
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle, filibusterng sprite,
No more your dullness you rehearse:
We once regarded you with fright
We not confess things might bS

While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Make haste to close the cannon'a
mouth
And give the orators a chance.

between the freshmen and the sOphomoreS
al the College of Emporia yesterday. This
fight is an annual event with these two
The engagement was begun at o'clock
a. M, when the freshmen hoisted their
flag to the top of a telegraph pole and
formed in a solid phalanx around it for
the purpose of guarding it. The sophO-
mores charged upon them at 8 o'clock and
the first skirmish enSued. The SOphO-
mores finally succeeded in reaching the
pole. They shook it, tore the barbed and
telephone wires off of it, attempted to
climb it and finally poured coal oil upon
it and set fire thereto. but still they
couldn't get the flag down. The fight
continued until 1 O'Clock, when the fresh
men left and claimed the victory. The
sophoInores took the flag down after they
left, but the general consensus of opinion
is that the freshmen were the victors.
During the ARRAY there was continuous
fighting with fists and clubs at the foot
of the pole. Several of the boys were
seriously hurt. Sophomore Rankin was
knocked unconscious and was laid out for
fully fifteen minutes.

COL. ALDACE F. WALKER
Appears Before the international
Joint High Commissioners.

Joint High Commissioners.
Quebec, Sept. 23.-The people of the
United States are evidently beginning
to awaken to the great Importance of
the results which may come from the
work of the international joint high
commission now in session in this city
1t has become known that the Canadian
representatives are urging that treaty
embOdying commercial reciprocity be
made, which treaty, it is held, would
seriously affect nearly all the great in
dustries of the United States. These
industries are now being heard from
in a very emphatic way. During the
past "a hours the AZ ierican commits
sionerS have been beSieged by deputa-
tions of Americans, praying that no
irOn-c clad treaty be entered into which
would disturb, if not in many instances,
destroy, the present protective tariff
laws Today the farmers of the United
States put in their protest, and it was
a very strong one. They were repre-
scented by Aaron Jones, of Indiana,
worthy master of the National Grange,
and N. J. Bachelor, of New Hamp-
shire, chairman of the national eXecu-
tive committee. They were given a very
full hearing and will have another aU-
dience before the commissioners act.
Following Mr.. Jones came another
earnest protest from Mr. Albert Clark
president of the Home Market club, Of
Boston. He said the organization he
spoke for had upwards of 1000 men,
mostly manufacturers, and represented
a total capital OF $lUO,UUO,OOO. lie OPP
posed commercial reciprocity. He said
that between two countries having the
same products for exchange reciprocity
was never successful. If Canada and
the United States each had something
the other did not have it would be
different proposition.
Colonel Aldace F. Walker, formerly
of the interstate commerce commission,
but now chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the AtchisOn, Topeka & San
ia Fe railroad, spoke concerning the
traffic bonding system. He believed the
Canadian railroads should be subject
to the interstate commerce laws, and,
in case of violation, American traffic
over the lines should be suspended, in
stead of imposing a fine, as is done in
case of part of the American roads.
G. s. Hamlin, Of the Boston Mer-
chants association, opposed Col. Walk
er's scheme. He insisted that the pres
ent bonding system by which United
States products were carried over Ca
in the United States without it, was en-
tirely equitable and satisfactory. He
desired no change from present cOndi-
lions.
Another protest came from Congress-
man J. A. TaWney, of Minnesota, in be-
half of the lumberman of the United
States He presented to the American
commissioners a printed memorial
signed by $50 of the principal lumber
firms in twenty-one states, and protest
ing against the reduction of the duty Of
Canadian lumber.

ADOLLAR
Pension is Demanded by the Mexican
War Veterans.

Louisville, KY. Sept. 23.-The Ma
Gonal Mexican Veterans association
elected General E. H. Hobson, of Green
vile, KY, president; A D. Ogg, of In
Lexington, KY, secretary and treas
urer; Alexander Williamson, of Licking
ton, KY. corresponding secretary.
5. P. Tufts, of Centralia, Ill, the re-
for reelection, caused quite a scene
after General Hobson had taken the
chair by declaring that undetermined
methods had been used to defeat him
for the presidency and that he was the
real choice OF the association. General
Hobson replied warmly, saying he
would scorn to accept a place to which
a faint was attached.
After a stormy debate lasting several
hours, a motion to reconsider the vote
by which General Hobson was elected,
was finally carried and he and General
Tufts were again Llaced in nomination,
when General Hobson was reelected
by a vote of 80 to %.
The Tufts faction was not appeaSed,
but, being in the minority, could do
nothing more than object.
Indianapolis was selected as the next
place of meeting.
The pension committee submitted a
report stating that in view of the great
extension of territory and untold added

as a result of the Mexican war, the vet
