clination by Senator Caffery, of the

EVIDENCE OF A WRECK
ATLANTIC LINER POSSIBLY SUNK BY
COLLISION IN MID-OCEAN.
Captain Of q Vessel Reports Seeing
Steamer Chairs and other Furni-
niture-Bark In Distress.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. May 7.-Captain
Campbell. of the British steamer Tenby
which arrived in Philadelphia yesterday,
from Port Said. brings an account of
wreckage passed at sea, which is causing
anxiety among shipping men. If the cap
tain's opinion is correct, a great maritime
disaster has occurred, involving the loss of
an Atlantic liner. The Tenby fell in with
the wreckage at point west of the mid
Atlantic and the lookouts observed bark
flying what were apparently distress sig
mails. but she was too far off and the sea
too rough for the steamer to render assist
ance. Toward sunset on April 30 the Ten
by's path was obstructed by floating tim
ber and spars for a considerable distance.
Captain Campbell saw portions of deck
house and many minor objects. all Of which
seemed to have been in the water only a
short time. There were steamer chairs and
other fine furniture not generally carried
by freight steamers. May 1 the bark was
seen apparently in distress. She was a
large four-masted vessel and had several
signals out. 1t is believed that the bark
collided with and sunk another craft. Of
which only the wreckage remains.

authority to legislate respecting It. No
foreign sovereign can invest the general
government with any legislative powsr."
Numerous decisions are cited in support
of his opinion and he continues: 1T must
be held that upon the cession by Spain TO
the United States Of the island of Porto
Rico, that island became a part Of the
dominion OF the United States. as much so
as is Arizona or Minnesota: and that the
Constitution of the United States ex pro-
pria vigore, at once extended over the is
land; and that this extension Of the Con-
stitution gave Congress. whose every power
must come from that instrument, the au-
thority to legislate in respect to that island
as a part OF the United States territory. 1t
follows that all the provisions Of the Con-
stitution in respect to personal and prop
erty rights. including the right to trial by
jury In criminal prosecution, became at
once, when the cession was completed,
part of the supreme law of the land The
character of an offense and the nature Of
its punishment would be determined by the
law in force, where and when the act was
committed and laws of that character re-
main in force after the cession until
changed; but the manner or trial must de-
pend on the law in force when the trial is
had. even though the establishment and
organization of courts must be awaited be-
fore the trial can be had"
The decision states that military law be-
ing the sole authority. the acts Of mill
tary court were entirely legal and the petit
ton for a writ of habeas corpus was
denied.

q very dashing affair. The Canadians, New
South Wales, New Zealand Rifles and
Queensland Mounted Infantry Wed with
each other In the determination to close
with the enemy. Captain Anley. of the Es-
sex regiment, commanding the Third In

liant manner. The naval guns and the ar
tiliery made excellent practice, particular
ly two five-inch guns, used for the first
time with this force. We captured a Maxim

were very few--only fifteen wounded, one
killed and three missing"
Another dispatch from Smaldeel saws:

In his speech Mr.. Gompers said: "Judge
reedman had no right to issue this in
junction. He may have been imposed upon.
but as this injunction is Illegal and un-
constitutional you may disregard 1t. Go
right on with your strike. They cannot
stop you from contributing money to main
tain the strike or support pickets. Keep
right on with your fight for principle. The
manufacturers rely on their wealth and In
fuence with the courts to defeat this

Mr. Gompers declares with many dra-
matte gestures that rather than obey JUS
tice Freedman's injunction he would glad
ly, freely. willingly lay down the little life
he had left And what are you going to
do about it?' cried Mr.. Gompers. Are
you going to submit? Justice Freedman
says this is the order of the court that you
must not give sympathy or aid to your
brothers or sisters in this cause. I don't
know how you feel about it-yes. I do. too."

accompanied by an impressive lowering
