turned indictments against D. II. John
son. p $. Mosely. George Mansfield. j. r.
MeMurray, and Melvin Corulsh, charging

HAIL DELIVERY FROM SEA
Anxiety Relieved in Arrival of
Steamer Mount Royal.
Defective Boilers Caused Delay of a
Month I'm Midocean-AH
Passengers Wen.

Queenstown. Jan. Precisely one
month after leaving antwerp for a twelve
days trip TO St. John. n B.. the Cana
dian Pacific Railway Company's steam
ship Mount Royal. with 40 persons
aboard, hobbled into this port to-day with
her boilers in bad shape, but al hands
well.
She had been Obliged to turn back on
Christmas Eve when in longitude "A 50
west, latitude 45 north. Her boilers had
given her a good deal Of trouble and
furious storms had impeded her progress.
The night before Christmas found her
steam-makers in such a dangerous plight
that her skipper concluded IL would be
foolhardy to attempt TO continue the voy-
age TO the Western Hemisphere. and that
the sooner he got 10 an Old World port
the better.
Although there was no panic, the 800
passengers and a good many members OF
the crew were plainly glad to see the old
Head of Kinsale on the port bow
The Mount Royal was not actually
missing for month, for though she
sailed from Antwerp on December =, she
was reported of the Lizard on December
10. Nor was there much anxiety until she
had been out from her sailing port more
than nineteen days Her normal time
for the run to New Brunswick was twelve
days. and ii was not regarded as remark
able, in view Of the heavy weather, that
she should be a week overdue.
Besides, on previous voyage, owing to
accidents, she had taken nineteen days
for the trip. But when the twentieth
day passed without news Of her, her
owners began TO be anxious. They were
responsible for the lives Of $50 Hungarian
emigrants in addition to the 100 officers
and men in the ships company.
Vessels leaving ali Atlantic ports were
asked to keep a sharp lockout for the
missing steamer. The seas were sWept
for her even TO as sOutherly point as
Bermuda. When she was out twenty
five days hope Waned, and toward the
thirtieth day she was given up as lost.
II was as an extra joyful surprise that
word came this morning of her approach
to kinsale, and when il was confirmed
by a bulletin that she had passed that
point headed for Queenstown. the Teioic-
ing increased. She refused the assistance
Of tugs, making port under her own
steam
1T was the worst weather on the At
lantic in many years said one of the
ships officers tonight. "A terrible hurri-
cane ragged for many days. Everybody
on board was tired to the limit of en-
durance. 1t was lucky we had abundant
food
''The passengers had to spend Christ
mas below decks, but they were not un-
duly alarmed for they were Informed OF
the vessels good condition. An extra
store Of provisions did much to offset the
dreariness and disappointment of the pas
sengers' lot. Even when they learned it
was necessary TO put back TO the Irish
coast they did not complain more than
was natural"

"A great many Of Us have that" said
Mr.. Jerome.
But Pitcher said he would hear the
testimony of experts and pass on It fairly,
although he would scrutinize it closely
Have you got any resentment against
anybody in this case?' asked Mr. Little
ton.
Il might have" said Pitcher. IF am
called to serve"
That raised a great laugh. and Mr. Lit
tleton said the responsibility would be
divided. Pressed, Pitcher said. however,
that he would not carry it into the jury
box with him. and when he added that
he felt he could be a fair juror he was
accepted. II VIII take a peremptory

The provisional trade agreement which
has been negotiated between Secretary OF

Ambassador, and which has been practi-
cally completed, is now I'm the hands Of

if like concessions are not granted by the
United States TO French products
One Of the most important changes in
the present schedule will be q reduction
by the United States Of % per cent in
the duty upon Champagnes imported into
this country. The operation Of the pure
food law. in SO far as il affects French
imports, will be more literally construed
in favor Of the French products. and the
administration Of the American custom
laws will be relaxed somewhat in favor
OF French articles.
On tile other hand. the French govern
ment has agreed 20 continue the impo-
siti0n Of its minimum rate Of duty upon
Porto Ricsn coffee
There will be a relaxation OF the French
DEGREES regarding the inspection Of Amer
lean meats and the admission Of live cat
lie TO France for transportation by sea

entirely of hickory wood and required
many years work to complete it. Gen.

it should not be worked on except on

He helped to make the constitution of

not appeal to him, and he quit Congress.

was elected major general of the militia
