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.’ ” OUTRAGE AT FREELAND, PA. Priest’s Bouse Broken Open by a Gang of Fiends.

Involved Map Somewhat Delay Decis ion—Mo One Able to Say Wncther the Supreme Court Has Any Leanings la Favor of the Mew Law or Mot. 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. Fava's Course Was L'nnsual. Washington, March 10.—The officials of the State department are somewhate surprised at the action of Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador, in communi 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 ter, particularly in view of the ex tremely discreet and temperate man ner in which the ambassador has pre sented bis case to the State depart ment THE-ftBEORT CONFIRMED.

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 can Canned Peas.

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 He Wasn't That. lie was an old fellow past 40, and he was trying to win. a girl of 20 under the direction of a ludy who loved better than life to make raatcliea He hadn’t met with marked success, however, and the lady was taking him to task about it. “What the mischief,” she said “did you insist upon telling her that you were at the age you are, and further more trying to impress it upon her that that was very old? You might just as well have said you were the , Ancient Mariner and been done with j it.” “Tliat'sit. That's it,” he said hope-. lessly. “It was the ancient marrying her that knocked the whole business, tky high.”—Detroit Free Press. Consumption Not Contagions. Cincinnati,.
