ALSO SAW THE PORTLAND.
Captain Of Edgar Randall Believes Machiner,
Must Have Been Disabled.

Manchester. n. H., Dec. Ga special
to the Union from Portsmouth says:
The captain of the schooner Edgar
Randall reports that he sighted the
steamer Portland, week ago Saturday
night at 11.30 o'clock, about q. miles
from Thatchers island, in a north
easterly direction. The vessel was then
very near him and was making very
little Roadway. She was making no
signals of distress.
He was then greatly surprised that
the captain of a side wheeler should
have ran by Gloucester harbor in such
a storm as that. 1t is his opinion that
the Portland could have ran into
Gloucester without trouble before 1880
that night.
He also believes that the steamer did
not get much further east than when
he saw it, and that an accident must
have crippled her. after which she
drifted until she foundered.

FRENCH COMMENTS.
None Of Paris Papers, as Expected, Much in
Love With the Message.

Paris, Dec. 6.-The Journal Des De-
bats welcomes President Mckinley S
hope that Franco-American under
standing will shortly be reached, las
evidence of the friendship which was
DOUBTLESS promoted by the important
role recently enacted by the French
ambassador at Washington" 1t adds:
Not power Interested in the far East
is disposed to deny America the prac-
teal and reasonable demands of Presi-
dent Mckinley"
The Temps thinks that, after perus-
ing the message, no one will be the
wiser in regard to what can be hoped
from the friendship of the United
States or feared from her enterprises.
AS regards Cuba, it may be re-
marked that the Presidents declaration
is absolutely identical with the dec'a-
ration of Great Britain, when that
country entered Egypt, and where she
still remains"
The most interesting point of the
message. according to the Journal Des
Debats is the fact that Great Britain's
warm words of determination are not
loudly echoed in it.

LONDON COMMENTS.
The Afternoon Papers Pleased With all Ex-
cept Nicaraguan Canal AIIusions.

London Dec. 6.-The afternoon papers
here express satisfaction at President
McKinley's message to Congress, with
the exception to his allusion to the
Nicaraguan canal which, to the minds
of the editors. does not show sufficient
appreciation of British treaty rights.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: In Ian
guage of studied moderation, but which
leaves no room to doubt its meaning,
the President foreshadows the fixed de-
termination of the government to stand
by the policy of the open door in the
East. That declaration brings the Uni
ted States in line with us, if ever the
time comes to speak with enemies in
the open door way"
Referring to the Nicaragua Canal,
the Gazette remarks: while fully ad-
hitting the validity of the Presidents
claims for the complete protection of
the commerce of the United States, We
| may be permitted to point out that
British interests are no less entitled to
consideration and that the government
at Washington is already bound by de-
finite obligations. We are convinced.
! however. that when it comes to BUSH
ness there will be no disposition in the
United States to question the position
! of friendly equality of the two coun-
tries in this matter
The ST. James Gazette says: THE
message will he read with pleasure.
| The President faces new issues in a
broad-minded way and suggests the So
luton of their problems on large and
generous lines"

Nerve Exhaustion Due to
Over-WOrk.

Nervous prostration is indeed the most ter
rible Of all diseases.
There is no remedy that Is known to sci
ence that will so effectively cure this trouble
as DIR. Clarkc's Red Iron-Pills.
These pills strengthen every one OF the vital
organs ofthe body after purifying and making
new, red blood, and at the same time they give
yigor and tone to the nerves.
Thousands Of cases that would have led to
nervous prostration have been cured by these
famous pills. Here is one coming from a
very we'll known travelling man, who repre-
sents one Of the largest manufacturing houses
in the country.
Mr.. r. Thomas Tanner writes us TEL
seemed to have no life IN on. o. al ! have
taken great deal Of n,scit.c.a, but Il didn't
help me. l at LAST began taxing Red-Iron-
Pills and Immediately begsn to improve; now
l am feeling better than have ever done In
my life"
If other people would take the precantion to
always be provided with this remedy much
trouble would be avoided.
These pills Gre preferable toany other blood
and nerve remedy ever put on the market, as
they are easy and pleasant to take and have
an advantage over vile, liquid compounds from
the fact that they can be carried in the POCKET.
Red-Iron-P Pills can be bought of all drug
gists, so cts per box, six boxes for $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt of price ny addressing

PORTLAND AND PENTAG0ET
Probably Seen by Capt. Hogan. Who Was
Afterwards Wrecked.

Boston. Dec. Captain Hogan of the
fishing schooner Ruth NJ. Martin. which
is at Long wharf today, stated that he
saw a big sidewheel steamer. which he
thinks was the Portland about four miles
off Highland Light, between and .
o'clock Sunday morning. The steamer
seemed TO be drifting with the wind, but
was keeping her head with the storm,
indicating that she was under steam.
The Portland was to windward of the
Martin while to leeward was a propeller
steamer. Captain Hogan decided to make
for the propeller for help.
The Martin could not reach her but was
blown far off Cape Cod headland and
brought up high and dry on the beach at
Provincetown. Her crew were cared for
until the storm was abated and the
schooner was then hauled from her
sandy bed and sailed for Boston under
temporary rigging.
1t does not appear that Capt. Hogan
has previously made public these inter-
esting facts.

MARIA TERESA'S LOSS.
Commander Harris Exonerated from All
Blame in the Matter.

Washington, Dec. 6.--The findings of
the court of inquiry concerning the aban-
donment of the cruiser Infanta Maria
Teresa during the storm of Oct. %, were
made public, today. The finding is
summed up in the statement that the
court finds the abandonment was not due
to any fault or negligence on the part of
any officer of the navy and that the
court does not think any further proceed
ngS should be instituted.
The vessel was pronounced to be in fit
condition for the voyage to the United
States in reasonably fair weather but
could not be called seaworthy in gale:
1t is stated that Commander Harris did
not take charge of the Teresa until after
the decision of Capt. Chittenden of the
Merritt Wrecking Co. to abandon her.
This settles the contention that Comman-
der Harris exceeded his authority in tax
ing charge of the cruiser.
The transfer of the ships company
from the Teresa to her consort. the Mer-
rift. is characterized as a skillful accom-
plishment in view of all the circum-
stances. Lieut.. Harris conduct under
the trying conditions is to be commended
