LIVED ON BLOOD.
Survtras of tho British Ship Ini— n
Tall Their Storv.
Portland. Ore., March 18.—The follow
ing dispatch comes from Marshfield,
Ore.: “Daniel Clark and Thomas Moore,
supposed to be the only survivors of a
crew of thirty-one passengers from the
British ship Teoman, arrived here last
night on the schooner Leeds. The Teo
man sunk Feb. 23 In latitude 34 N„
longitude 45 W. She was bound from
Antwerp to Redondo. Clark related the
details as follows: 'While shortening
sail a sudden squall struck us and a
heavy, swell-Uke tidal wave capsized
the ship. As the seas swept the deck I
was carried overboard. A lull followed
and the ship righted. I got on the ship
again to find no one on deck. The cook
was lying In the galley with his head
split open and hardly alive. Capt. Fer
guson and the mate were drowned. As
the ship was sinking I decided to aban
don her, and cutting loose a lifeboat got
the cook Into it and pulled away. We
were fourteen days in the boat before
the schooner Leeds sighted us and
picked us up, during which time we
suffered more than language can ex
press. We had to fare all the time on
sixteen biscuits, without a drop of fresh
water. We became so hungry that we
ate the uppers of our shoes and each
drank the other’s blood.’ Here Mr.
Clark exhibited his leg, which showed
great red blotches, certifying the truth
fulness of his story. Continuing, he said:
‘I have been around the horn nine times
but this was the roughest trip I ever
experienced. We lost four men over
board In a gale oft the horn, and Paul
Hessing fell from the topsail yard and
was killed.’ ”

Income Tax Case.
Washington, March 16.—Now that
the supreme court has concluded the
hearing in the income tax case and all
the light which the supreme court can
expect to receive front outside sources
has been thrown upon the question in
volved considerable speculation has
arisen on the two points as to what the
decision will be when reached and
when it is likely to be reached.
Naturally no ono would attempt to
definitely settle either question, and
the opinions of those whose opinions
, are entitled to consideration are very
much at variance on both points There
is a substantial agreement in the belief
that the court will make an effort to
reach a conclusion at the earliest pos
sible day, and, at any rate, before the
time set for the law to go into effect,
which is the 15th day of April next.
The court is at all times disposed to ac
commodate the government in such
matters when it can do so without
stretching the proprieties, and it is
taken for granted that the judges in
the present instance appreciate the im
portance to the treasury department
of haviug the validity of the law finally
settled before the machinery for its
execution shall be put into complete
operation. That the necessity for an
early adjudication for this and other
reasons is understood by the court is
demonstrated by its advancing the case
on the docket for argument out of their
order. It is also believed on the part
of many that the recess announced
until the 25th inst. is largely for the
purpose of permitting immediate con
sideration of the case, and the sugges
tmn line lionn mnilnllinl /In.-ioinn
bo expected upon the first sitting of
the court after the recess.
Those who are most familiar with
the methods of the court do not, how
ever, accept the suggestion of so early
a decision as well founded, and they
say that, on the other hand, it may be.
delayed for a considerable time, even
despite the anxiety of the court itself
to reach an early determination. They
base this opinion upon the responsibil
ity which the court will feel in filially
disposing of such momentous questions
as are involved, upon their knowledge
of the characters of the members of the
court for mature deliberation and upon
the fact that the judges will each and
all consider it incumbent upon them to
make very thorough investigations and
to weigh carefully the questions pre
sented by the counsel aud by one an
other before passing judgment Fur
thermore, in the absence of Justice
Jackson, there is a probability of a di
vided court. Whilo no one can have
any basis for an opinion as to the char
acter of the decision when it shall be
reached, tho general belief is that it
will not be unanimous one way or the
other, but which side of the controver
sy will secure the majority of opinions
is everywhere recognized as one of the
questions that cannot be detrmined
until the document itself shall be read
from the bench. There arc those who
profess to have seen indications of u
leaning one way or the other by the
suggestions made and questions put by
the members of the court to counsel
while the argument was in progress,
but the purport of these suggestions
was generally colored by the bias of
the person hearing them. There can,
in fact, be no substantial basis for any
prognostication as to tho result. The
Opinion is ventured by some that in
spite of previous decisions sustaining
the tax the law would surely be de
clared unconstitutional; but those who
make the suggestions are the first to
admit the force of the precedent in the
court.
Overrules the Land Commissioner.
Washington, March 10.—Secretary
Smith has overruled the commissioner
of the general land office in a decision
affecting the selection of lands to com
plete the grants of the state of Idaho
under the enabling act. The commis
oiuutt octvvbiuua lur cau*
cellation because the particular tract
selected was less than a quarter-sec
tion. the law providing that claims tor
losses must be on tracts of not less
than a quarter-section. The secretary
States that in the cases chosen by the
commissioner it appears that there are
other selections by the state adjoining
the tracts of less than one quarter-sec
tion and he construes the law to mean
that the state shall make its selection
in as compact a form as possible and
that its lands shall not be scattered
about in forty and eighty-acre tracts.
When there are other selections adjoin
ing making in all more than a quarter
section the secretary holds that they
are valid.
Mary Ellen Tan Keep Her Office.
Topeka, Kan., March 16.—Mrs.
Mary E. Lease, orator and politician,
has won her latest fight Recently
George A. Clark was appointed by Gov
ernor Morrill to succeed her as mem
ber of the State board of charities, and
the appointment was confirmed by the
senate. When Clark attempted to take
office a few days ago Mrs. Lease re
fused to vacate, stating her term did
not end till lb'J'i, and she took steps to
have her case settled in court. An ex
amination of the records in the gover
nor's office today shows that in his mes
sage to the senate Governor Lewelling
nominated Mrs. Lease as the successor
of Captain Rhodes. Thus her term will
not expire until next year and Clark’s
appointment proves superfluous.

cating direct with the governor of Col
orado respecting the protection of
Italians in that state. llis course was
irregular, but it is not probable any
official notice will lie taken of the mat

State Department Investigating the Affair
of the Steamer Alllanca.
Washington, March 14.—Seror Mar
uaga, the Spanish minister, visited the
state department yesterday fbr the pur
pose of presenting the position, of Spain
from the Information now om Hand, on
the firing of a Spanish gunboat on the
American mail steamer Alllanca. The
minister telegraphed for full particulars
to the governor-general of Cuba and in
reply received a dispatch that the
cruiser which presumably floured In the
affair had not yet returned, having pro
longed Its watch along the Cuban coast.
Senor Muruaga feels only one side of
the story has yet been told, but should
It appear there has been any offense or
Indiscretion on the part of the Spanish
warship, Senor Maruaga says Spain will
speedily make every apology consistent
with the friendship It bears to the Unit
ed States, i Taking the version of the
affair as given by Capt. Crossman of the
Alliance Minister Muruaga says It was
apparent the Ametrtcan ship was In the

GOV. M’INTYRE MOVES*.
He Answers Italian Conufti and 8tat«
Department.
Denver, Colo., March 15.—Gov. McIn
tyre yesterday received simultaneously
from the authorities at Washington and
the Italian consul at this point Inquiries
concerning the Walsenberg lynchlngs.
To Washington the governor tele
graphed the fullest particulars he had
and promised fullest protection to all.
He also said It was probable the Ital
ians lynched were American citizens;
that he had directed the sheriff to pro
tect his prisoners and maintain order;
and that he had a report from the col
onel commanding the nearest place that
he could put troops aboard cars In two
hours.
The Italian Consul here has not been
notified officially of the affair at Wal
senberg. It Is considered doubtful
whether complications with Ttaly will
arise, since three and possibly four of
the dead men have renounced their
allegiance to Italy. All is quiet at Wal
senberg now.
ANOTHER EMBARGO.
British Analysts Find Copper In Ameri

American canned peas Into Great Brit

contents of anumber of cans of green
peas recently examined were found to
copper to the extent of seven-tenths
of a grain of copper per pound. Sul
phate of copper, according to the re
port, If taken into the system In the
quantities found in the cans in ques

For namnnltr'a Sake, After Tblrty-ll*

Telia How Ha Waa Sat free.
Caldwell, N. J., March 18. 1805.—(Spe
cial.)—Since one of our prominent cltt
*ens Buffered bo terribly from tobacco
tremens, has made known hln frightful
experience In behalf of humanity, tho
ladles here are making tobacco-using
husbands' lives miserable with their en
treaties to at once quit tobacco.
The written statement of 8. J. Gould la
attracting wide-spread attention. When
Interviewed to-night he said: “I com
menced using tobacco at thirteen: I am
now forty-nine: so, for thirty-six years I
chewed, smoked, snuffed and rubbed
snuff. In tho morning 1 chewed before
I put my pants on, aud for a long time
I used two ounces of chewing anti eight
ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I
had a chew In both cheeks and a pipe In
my mouth at once. Ten years ago I quit
drinking whisky. I tried to stop tobacco
time and again, but could not. My
nerves craved nicotine and I fed them
till my skin turned a tobacco brown,
cold, sticky perspiration oozed from my
skin, and trickled down my back at the
least exertion or excitement. My nerve
vigor and my life were being slowly
sapped. I made up my mind that I had
to quit tobacco or die. On October I I
stopped, and for three days I suffered
the tortures of the damned. On the
third day I got so bad that my partner
accused me of being drunk. I said, ‘No
I have quit tobacco.' ‘For God's sake,
man,’ he said, offering me his tobacco
box, 'take a chew: you will go wild,’
and 1 was wild. Tobacco was forced
Into me and I was taken home dazed.
I saw double and my memory was be
yond control, but still knew how to
chew and smoke, which I did all day
until towards night, when my system
got tobacco-soaked again. The next
morning I looked and felt ns though I
had been through a long spell of sick
ness. I gave up In despair, as I thought
that I could not cure myself. Now, for
suffering humanity, I’ll tell what snved
my life. Provlrlonno nvMnntlv nnan'ocml
my good wife's prayers and brought to
her attention in our paper an article
which rend: 'Don't Tobacco Spit and
Smoke Your Dlfe Away!’
"What a sermon and warning in those
words! - Just what I was doing. It told
about a guaranteed cure for the tobacco
habit, cnlled No-To-Bac. I sent to Drug
gist Hasler for a box. Without a grain
of faith I Bptt out my tobacco cud. and
put into my mouth a little tablet upon
which was stamped No-To-Bnc. I know
it sounds like a lie when I tell you that
I took eight tablets the ilrst day, soven
the next, five the third day, and nil tho
nerve-creeping feeling, restlessness and
mental depression was gone. It was too
good to be true. It seemed like a dream.
That was a month ago. I used one box.
It cost me tl.and it is worth a thousand.
I gained ten pounds In weight and lost
all desire for tobacco from the first
day. I sleep and eat well, and I huve
been benefited In more ways than I can
tell. No, the cure was no exception In
my case. I know of ten people right here
In Caldwell who have bought No-To
Rac from Hasler, and they have been
cured. Now that I realize what No-To
Eac has done for me and others, I know
why it is that the makers of this wond
erful remedy, the Sterling Remedy Com
pany, of New York and Chicago, say:
'We don’t claim to cure every case.
That’s Fraud’s talk, a lie; but we do
guarantee three boxes to cure the to
bacco habit, and In case of failure we
are perfectly willing to refund money.'
I would not give a public Indorsement
If I were not certain of its reliability.
I know it Is backed by men worth a mil
lion. No-To-Bac has been a God-send
to me, and I firmly believe it will cure
any case of tobacco-using if faithfully
tried, and there are thousands of to
bacco slaves who ought to know how
6asy it is to get free. There’s happiness
in No-To-Bac for the prematurely old
men, who think as I did that they are
old and worn out, when tobacco is the
thing that destroys their vitality and
manhood."
The public should be warned,however,
against thepurchaseof any of the many
imitations on the market, as the success
of No-To-Bac has brought forth a host
of counterfeiters and imitators. The
genuine No-To-Bac 16 sold under a
guaran*ee to cure, by all druggists,
and every tablet ha* the word No-To
Bac plainly stamped thereon; and you
run no physical or financial:risk in pur
chasing the genuine article
