SCHOONER PALMER'S HARD TRIP
A Voyage of Twenty -one Days from
 Boston to Baltimore.

Baltimore, Feb 26-After a battle with adverse winds and heavy seas which has seldom been equalled, the schooner Maude Palmer came into port twenty-one days for the vessel to make tha run, although seven days is consid- cred the average time for the voyage.

The schooner had rough trip all along the coast. She was swept off Hatteras, where she battled with the waves for several days and eventually was car ried to the edge of the Gulf stream.
 The Maud Palmer's experience with the rough weather is probably being shares by her sister ship, the Prescott Palmer. which left Bangor for this port on February i. Nothing has been heard from the vessel since she started.

 you, I know, to learn something about

 At the end of the speech the prince was heartily applauded
 MT. Ridder at this point introduced Charles Emory Smith, saying that MT. Smith had been minister of state, great editor and is known as the sill ver-tongued orator of the press of America.
