EAGLE WING
Said to Have Been the Vessel Which
Coliided with the Hargrayes.

Said to Have Been the Vessel which
ooliided with the Hargraves.
The owners of the vessel r. and r..
Hargraves, which was in a collision off
the Jersey coast early last Thursday
morning, believe that they have learned
the name Of the other vessel, and think
that it was the Eagle Wing. Captain
Morgan of that vessel says that just
prior to the collision his boat was sail-
ing on the starboard tack and by the
wind and he claims that the Hargraves
in attempting to cross his bow was
struck, but as she continued ON her
course he could not learn her name at
that time. ~. ~ r..
Captain Chatfield of the Hargraves
gives different version Of the affair.
He says that. the other vessel was
sighted some time before the collision
occurred. Soon after being sighted she
was veered from her course and he
shifted his own so as to clear her. In
stead of keeping clear the other schoon-
er put her wheel hard down and came
up against the Hargraves, striking her
on the port side aft and opening it..
Captain Chatfield has gone to Norfolk.
The Eagle Wing has just arrived at
Newport News in a damaged condition.
She had a jibboom and head-gear car
ried away and Captain Morgan reported
having been in collision off the Jer-
sey coast last Thursday morning.
The legal part Of the matter is in the
hands of J. D. Dewell jr., attorney for
the Sutton fleet, and when he was seen
yesterday he said that no action had
yet been takens 4--8 i,

GOVERNMENT LOSES SUIT.

Old Action Against Northern P1ctfia
and Telegraph Lines.
:. ST. Paul, Feb, 2S.--Judge Amidon or
the United States circuit court, district
of Minnesota, to-day dismissed the
suit brought by the United States
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, the Northwestern Telegraph
company, the Western Union Telegraph
company and the Northern Pacific
Railway company. The suit involved al
question of the Northern Pacific violat-
ing that portion of it's charter dealing
with the commercial use of its tele-
graph lines.
The suit was begun in 1890. The gov
eminent sought to revoke the franchise
of the Northern Pacific Railway corn-
pany, which, it alleged, violated the act
of congress Of August 7, 1883, by not
carrying commercial messages over the
5company's wires. Judge Amidon finds
that the Northern Pacific Railway
company at all times since the passage
of the act of 1888, by and through its
own respective corporate officers and
employees, maintained and operated for
railroad, governmental commercial
and other purposes, line of telegraph
co-extensive with the line of railway
system. sf ~@@s n. +

PORTE YIELDS TO POWERS
AGREES TO ADOPT SCHEM IF
MACEDONLAN REFORMS.
Notification of Acceptance Given to
Austrian and Russian Ambassadors-
Powers Were Determined and Pre-
pared to Adopt Coerciye Measures to
Compel the Carrying Out of the Re-
forms.

Constantinople. Feb. 2S. - Tewfik
Pasha. the minister of foreign affairs,
notified the Austro-H Hungarian and
Russian ambassadors to-day that the
sultan had agreed to adopt the scheme
of the powers for reforms in Mace
donia.
The powers in their note recommend,
in addition to the appointment of an
inspector general of gendarmerie for
three years, with ample powers to act
independently, and to requisition
troops in case of emergency, and the
reorganization of the gendarmerie, and
police under European instructors, that
Christians be admitted into the gend-
armerie, in numbers proportionate to
the population, without being required
to read and write the Turkish language.
Amnesty is also demanded for all per-
sons who have been arrested for poll
ticaI offences.
The scheme for administration and
financial reforms in Macedonia, as pro-
posed by the powers in the note, be-
sides planning more equitable collec-
tion os taxes. provides that local ex-
penses shall be first charge on the
revenues of each vilayet. In the event
of there being a surplus this may be
sent to Constantinople. Measures are
also demanded for compelling the AL
banians to respect the law.
The power which 1t is proposed to
give to the inspector general of gendar-
merle, whose appointment or recall and
whose successor must be confirmed by
the powers, thus virtually detaching
him from the direct control of the au-
thorities at Constantinople, is almost
sure to encounter opposition from the
Turkish government, which also will
most likely object to the proposed
financial arrangements and to the basis
on which it is planned to recruit the
gendarmerie. Were the suggestions of
the powers carried out, this body would
in several districts be almost entirely
composed of Christians, owing to their
predominance in certain parts of Mac
edonia. 1t is understood, however, that
the powers are determined to admit of
no modification Of the reform scheme,
that they demand its application with
out delay, and that they are prepared
to adopt coercfve measures to insure it's
being scrupulously carried out.
An imperial irsde has been issued au-
thorizing the Turkish minister of war
to purchase ten additional Maxim rap
id-fire guns.

IRISH LAND MEASURE.
Lord Dnnravem Speaks Hopefully Re-
garding Legislation.

Lord Dnnraven Speaks Hopefully Re-
gnrding Legislation.
London, Feb. 23.-The Earl of Dunra-
ven was interviewed tonight regarding
the report of the Irish landlords and
tenants conference in Dublin of which
he was chairman. He spoke hopefully
regarding the prospects of legislation,
which he thought would end the diff
culties in Ireland. Lord Dunraven said:
"The utterances of King Edward and
of British public men. the temper of
Ireland, the reception of the confer
ence's report by the public and the
action Of the government since the pub
lication os the report are all favorable
indica tions pointing to the state of the
governments Irish land bill, which. if
it contains just and generous offer,
will make good the first impression on
which all depends. The bill, if drawn
on the lines of the terms of the report
will insure a final settlement and re-
move the cause os friction in Ireland
which Is reacting unfavorably not only
in Great Britain but throughout the en-
pire and on our kindred in the United
States.''
Lord Dunraven replied to the adverse
criticism of the report, saying that the
conferences could not lay down speci-
f1c formula to be adopted. They were
obliged to deal with the matter on the
broadcast lines, considering both the in
terests of the nation and those of indi-
vidual landlord and tenants. He did
not think that the government would be
able to specify strict forms which, if at
tempted. would confuse the issue. The
minor details Of any plan based on vol
untarism must be left to the purchasers
and sellers. The conference only sought
to formulate the conditions under
Which it would be possible to complete
the transfer oe the land within a rea-
sonable time. His lordship concluded by
saying that he did not think that the
demand on the state treasury would be
disproportionate to the benefits gained.

early today which may defer a settle

sumo larger dimensions than it has taken
up to this time. The trouble has arisen
over the question OF whether or not the
matter of recognition OF the union" is
suitable matter for arbitra ton.
The employers have said that they are
wiling TO arbitrate this question as we'll
as all others involved. but the men insist
cd last night that the question of recog-
milton Of the union was not one that can

matter Is above and beyond arbitration
and demand that the employers agree 10

pers OF the steam power council. which
