NewsYorll, Sept. 14.-By Associated
ess.)-Mayor Van Wyck and Richard
Croker appeared as witnesses before,
the Mazet investigating committee to-
day. Their appearance was chiefly no
ticeable for the acrimonious cross-fire
between them and Counsel Moss for
the committee. Their examination re-
lated entirely to an alleged improper
contract with a private company for
supplying water to the city, but noth-
ing of interest was developed Croker,
during the eross-eNamination, handed
the reporters a paper which he said
showed that Moss was not a man in
good standing. 1t was an extract from
an opinion by the supreme court. in
which it appeared that Moss, at one
time, as notary, authenticated certain
signatures not made in his presence
by persons with whom he was not per-
sonally acquainted, for which act one
of the justices said he should be crim-
inally prosecuted.

MAmMOTH NEW SHIP ARRIVES.
Tho Oceanic, Largest Vessel Aflont, at
New York From Queenstown.

New York, Sept. 14.-The mammoth
new steamer Oceanic of the White Star
Line. which was looked tor by many
all day Tuesday, was sighted east of
Fire Island at s o'clock yesterday
morning, as if by schedule, this being
the day the company had announced
that she would arrive. She left Queens
town at 12:45 p. M. last Thursday,
making the time OF her passage about
six days and two hours.
The time made by the Oceanic may
be considered very good, coming
through the heavy gales that have
been reported on the Atlantic during
her passage, and compares favorably
with that of the swiftest of the ocean
steamers in such weather, bearing out
the claim that with her powerful en-
gines she will make regular schedule
time regardless of weather conditions
As compared with ocean records, how
ever, there are half a dozen steamers
on the Queenstown route westward
that are ahead of her, the best of which
are that of the Lucania, five days
seven hours and twenty-three minutes
and Teutonic, five days, sixteen hours
and thirty-one minutes.
