NEW YORK , Match 21. The long overdue
duo clipper ship T. 1' . Oakes , which lefl
Hong Kong on July 25 , 259 days ago , wltl
a general cargo for this port , nnd whlcli
had been given up as lost , was towed Intc
port this morning by the Drltlnh tank
steamer Kasbcli , Captain Mulr , who picked
lior up last Thursday. The cicw were sick
with scurvy and iilx had llcd. The Kasbck
was bound from Philadelphia for Flume ,
Austria , with a cargo of oil , and left the
former port on Saturday , March 13. Ou
the fallowing evening at 11 o'clock the blue
lights wcro seen , nnd Captain Mulr ordered
the steamer's courao altered and the steamer
l > or < ! up to the distress signal. At 1 o'clock
, ' Bho was close alongside the fill IP and stood
I by until daybreak , when signals were observed -
served flying from the ship asking that n
| j boat bo sent alongside , as the ship's crow
were so helpless ns to bo unable to man
1 their own boats. Chief Olllcer C. P. Helz-
, hem nnd three seamen at once put oft In the
: ' Kasbck's yawl and when within speaking
\ ' distance hcunl u tale of suffering nnd slck-
* ness from those- aboard the ship which made
t them shudder. Captain llced of the Oakcs
i reported that his crew were all laid up with
ft nciiivy and that the provisions wcro well
{ . nigh rxhatuted. He was unable to navigate
, , the ship with the few hands he had nt his
' ' command nnd begged that he be at once
? supplied with fresh food and vegetables ami
taken In tow for the nearest port. .Mate
llclr.liom returned to the Kasbsk with the
message and Captain Mulr at once decided
to take the vessel In tow. The weather ,
which had been threatening , ' now became
bolstorotit , and a northerly gale sprang up.
Nevertheless , preparations were made to
pass a hawser to the Oakes when the boat
with a load of provisions was sent. A
inanllla hawser was played out over the Kas-
bek's stem to the yawl , but n tremendous
wave warned It Into the propeller , which
was turning slowly at the time , and before
the engines could bo stopped the screw was
eo entangled that thu engines , with the full
rower of steam , could not move it again.
An effort wns at once made to free the screw ,
but as It was so deeply submerged and the
een running so high It was found Impos
sible.
LOST FOR A NIGHT.
For right hours the engineer's staff labored
to clear the propellers , and finally discon
nected the shaft nnd found that by placing
< n small block of wood batwcen the coupling ,
the scicw could bo made to turn. Hy that
time the Oakes had drifted out of sight anil
Captain Mulr , despairing of being able tc
tow her with his disabled screw , determined
nt Irast to find her and supply her with pro
visions. All night he searched the horizon
for trace of her , and at G a. m. Tuesday she
was again sighted. The sea was rough nt
the time , but Chief Ofllcer Helzhcm again
volunteered to board her , and as the cngl-
, notra reported the propeller to be working
well , It was decided to send n hawser aboard.
Accordingly , n line wns dragged by the boat
f and after much hard work two hawsers were
< made fast.
Mr. Hclzhem and his boat's crew of three
did most of the work on the ship. They
found only the second and third mates able
to help them. The provisions they brought
' ' wcro a godsend to the scurvy stricken siir-
vlvora of the ship's crew and they began to
> gather hope that they might llvo to sco land
i again. From the time the hawser was passed
i aboard until New York was reached no in
cident of Importance occurred.
j Captain Reed of the Oakcs told a terrible
j story of suffering and privation. When the
i Oakes sailed from Hong Kong , the crew were
apparently in the best of health , with the
exception of Captain Reed , who had been
ailing for some little time , but who , under
the careful nursing of his devoted wife ,
thought himself on the high road to ro-
L covery.
When about six days out In the China sea
' , a terrific typhoon was encountered , lasting
several days , during which the fore and main
topmasts were sprung. The vessel was
obliged to run before the gale , which had
no sooner blown Itself out than It was fol
lowed by a second typhoon , which blow with
great fury for twenty-four days. The vessel
had then got well out into the North Pacific
and so far off her course that Captain Reed
decided to shape his course via Capo Horn
rather than by the Cape of Good Hope ,
hoping thereby to make better tlmo. The
weather remained fine , in fact nothing but
light , baflllng airs nnd calms were experi
enced until Cape Horn was rounded , 1G7 days
out.
SICKNESS AND DEATH.
In the meantime the Chinese cook had been
taken down with a ( severe cold and died on
November 11 , Afterwards a s aman named
T.'iomati King was taken down with what
appeared to be scurvy , nnd died December
2G. In quick succession Seaman Thomas
Olton WUH taken III and died January 12 ,
Thomas Judge , another seaman , was taken
ill with cancsr of the stomach , and later
Mate Stephen O. Hunker showed symptoms
of scurvy. Hunker died February 4 , and
was quickly followed by George King , nn
old man , who died on the nth , On the
17 Judge succumbed , making In nil six
deaths. Ono by one the other iullors were
obliged to quit work until on March 1 nobody
was left except the second and third mates ,
the captain nnd his wife , All wore well
nigh exhausted , and when n strong northerly
gale sprung up on that day , the bravo woman
was obliged to take the wheel , and for eight
hours without relief nnd without as much
as a drink of water , she kept the ship on
her con r TO. The provisions wcro running
eiiort , although a supply had been obtained
nn January 12 from the American ship Gov
ernor liable from New York for Melbourne ,
\\licn off the Island of Trinidad , and the
crow worn left without other than the barest
neceraitlcs. A sharp lookout was kept for
passing vessels , but nothing waa seen until
thu Knsbk hove in sight. The only vcojel
picvlotsly elghtcd during thu voyage , with
the exception of Iho ship Governor Roble , was
a northbound Lamport and Holt steamer ,
which passed the Oakca off Pcrnambuco , but
was too far off to distinguish signals.
The Oakes U a thro-mastcd ship , built

In addition to being admirably arranged for

supplied with maps and Indexes , There Is
a mass of Information upon all subjects
kindred to the railroads of the country con
tained in the volitmo.
Among the numerous other subjects upon
which information Is given 1s that of the
fast freight service of the country , which
Is increasing from year to year In extent
ftiid decreasing In tlmo occupied tn handling
this class of goods. The receipts from
freight are the chlt'f item of revenue of
American railroads and amount in an or
dinary > ear to between 73 and 76 per cunt
of the gross earnings. The disparity be
tween the passenger and the freight business
ot American railroads is scon by the fact
that whllo the total number of pabsenger
cura In USD Is Iras than 30,000 , the number
of freight curs in u o is 1,250,000.
The expenses of thu fast freight service
ore augmented as the rate of speed Is in
creased. As there U no augmentation of the
ratu , but , on the contrary , a reduction in
chargiii , It la plain that the fast freight bus ! ,
ncsj 4 not BO profitable as the ordinary
freight handled by the railroad couipanlci.
On the other hand , tbo reduction In the tlmo

An Omaha benkcr , discussing the propose
Issue of sui Ip by the state of Nebraska , gov
a correspondent of thu Chicago Record hi
recollections of scrip limes In Omaha ,
"That WAS an experiment , " ho said , ' 'an
a. moot costly and disastrous one , and
would not like to sou It repeated. At tha
tlmo about 1S50-7 Omaha citizens desire
above all things a commodious torrltorta
capital building. Mayor Iowe and a numbc
of other citizens conceived the Idea of Issuing
a sufllclcnt eum In city scrip to aid the gov
eminent In the construction of the building
It was urged , also , on the ground that th
city needed more money to do business , am
this was expected to circulate among th
laboring classes at par. It was Issued In dr
nominations of ? 1 , J2 , $5 f.nd $10
ami fet a short tlmo It circulated at par
Then It began to depreciate for a variety o
reasons. It was receivable as money In th
city and taxes could bo liquidated with It
but there was no provision for Its rcdemp
tlon , and as the merchants began to receive
largo amountu of It , they began to dlscoun
It. It dtcppcd down to 50 cents , and tn OIK
year went to 25 cento on thedollar. . Nearlj
$100,000 of It was llrst Issued , and latci
smaller sums were Issued for city Improve
merits.
"Ono of the factors In the depreciation o
the scrip was the rumor that It was bclnp
counterfeited. It had been hastily printed
and there WJB apparently some grounds for
the suspicion that some of It was Irregular
Finally the tax department of the city re
fused to accept It for taxes , and then Its value
wholly disappeared. The fact that spccu
lators who held largo quantities of the paper
never brought suit to force Its redemption
Indicates conclusively that they knew thc >
could not maintain their position In the
courts. "

CHEYENNB , Wyo. , March 21. ( Special. )
Frank Denlon , one. of the leading cattle
men of Wyoming , says this year promises to
bo the best for stockmen that has been ex
perienced for at least eight years. On an
average the price of cattle Is ? 5 a head
higher than It has boon for many years.
The rlso 111 prices Is easily accounted for.
There are at the present time several mil
lions fewer cattle In the United States than
there were five or six years ago. The number
of cattle which will be ranged In Wyoming
this year will be considerably less than last
year and the prices may oh this account con
tinue to Increase. The stockmen who de-
slro to purchase southern stock for range
purposes consider that the prices asked by
the southern owners are too high and arc
not contracting for southern cattle in the
quantities of previous years. The ranges
of Wyoming and .Montana will be better this
year than last. There have been very heavj
snows and water will be plentiful , and aa the
range Is not overcrowded the pasturage will
bo excellent. Stockmen are very much In
favor of the United States ceding the gov
ernment land In Wyoming and other cattk
and sheep grazing states to the states , so
that It may be leased to stockmen at rea
sonable rates , thereby making It possible for
every owner of sheep , cattle or horses to
control his own pasture by leasing It and
constructing a fence. The losses In the open
range system of stock growing make the
system too expensive.

CINCINNATI , March 21. The Farmers
Loan and Trust company of New York has
sued the Baltimore & Ohio Railway company
and other holders of the consolidated mort
gage bonds of the Daltimoro & Ohio South
western company. The trust company , as
trustee of the property , conveyed to It bj
the Daltimoro & Ohio Southwestern company
at the time of Its consolidation under that
name with the Ohio & Mississippi Rallwa\
company , holds certified bonds amounting to
$12,000,000 , Issued to take up the outstand
ing bunds of the Ohio & Mississippi Railway
company , a first lien on the property of that
company. The Ualtlmorc & Ohio company
guaranteed that these bonds would be taken
up by the consolidation , but the Baltimore
& Ohio company went Into the hands of a
receiver In February , 189G , and has been
unableto make Ita guaranty good , so that
the bonds of the consolidated company , by
that reason , and because of the hard times ,
have largely declined In market value. The
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern company ,
the mortgagor , has notified the trust com
pany that It will not bo able to pay the Ohio
& Mississippi bonds on maturity , as It con
templated , oven by the sale of the consoli
dated bonds. It proposed an extension of the
bonds for fifty years at 4.G per cent , and the
plaintiff asks the advice of the court In the
nteresta of the holders of bonds , payment
of which will default unless such extension
is secured.

NEW YORK. March 21. Henry Clews
head of the banking house of Henry Clew
& Co. , writes is follows :
The market for securities shows a bro.ul
cnltiB and more active tendency compare
.with the condition * noted In these ailvlcc
of last week. The movement Is freer an
the undertone more confident. The feclln
haw been jUrcngthoned through a consider
able litnount of stocks lellig taken out of th
market , supposed l.y n lead ng railroad cap !
tallst. which Is regarded us a favorable in
dlcatlon of Hie prospects of that class o
Investments. Another sticngthenlng In
lluence ban been the treasury report 01
foreign commerce , which wliowa an execs
of exuortH over Imports , for February
amounting to 121,600,000. Although this credItor
Itor balance Is considerably below the ex
traordlnary monthly balances In our favo
dining thu last halt year , yet It much mor
than HUdices to sot off the. debtor balance
accruing outside the merchandise move
ment , and makes a still further addition It
the fund standing to our credit In othc
countries. Dills on Europe arc still know !
to bo held here to the amount of & 0(0),000
mostly representing renewals conncctci
with export bills bought by local banker :
several weeks ago ; w. at may bo the amoun
of unknown holdings of the same charactv
It la Impossible to judge. These assets wll
go far towards offsetting any Increase o
Impoits arising from the prospective ad
dltlon to customs duties ; and , to that ex
tent , the effect Mill bo to deter exports o
gold from Kits ccntrr which soon to be
anticipated as Immediate at London am
Paris. An exaggerated construction hat
been put upon two small shipments of goli
to Paris , which weru made for some specla
purpose and could not have been done fron
ordinary exchange considerations except a
n loss.
LONDON IS SENSITIVE.
The only thing connected with the forclgi
exchanges calculated to suggest any mis
glvtngs Is the possibility that the polltlca
complication ! * In Europe may cause some o
our securities to bo sent homo. It Is true
that American stocks and bonds have with
stood t'nc ' shocks oC ihoi > > complications li
London butter than other securities deal
In there ; but London Is at present inuul
moro sensitive than New York , and prices-
yield less readily here than there , so tha
London realizations on this market arc no
Infrequent. In this way , we have taker
from London stocks amounting to probablj
fully J2.r-00.COO during the past week. A few
doses of that fort , however , Is likely to pu
UH moro on the alert.
So long ns suuh a situation as now exist ?
In Europe Is Impending , It Is Impossible to
suppress questionings as to .what would re
suit 'hero In tbo event of failure of the
united powers to maintain peace. Howevei
Improbable such failure may seem , yet the
bare possibility of It Involves such serloup
contingencies , llrst to Europe and next to
us , that prudent people will naturally dis
count the chances of the worst happening
and this fact tends to moderate ppeculatlvi
operations and to restrain the rising ton
dcncy for wh'ch this rea ket stands In otho
respects well prepared. These factors , how
ever , hold the "bull1 Eplrlt In check enl >
very partially. How Ions this element o
suspense may bo continued It Is not easy tc
judge ; but at the moment there Is nothing
to suggest any probability that the polltl
cal complications will fall of a reasonably
early peaceful adjustment.
One of the most assuring features of the
International complications Is that , at leas
to the eyes of ordinary observers , there has
been nothing to supRcst any suspicion o
bad faith between the powers. Naturally
there has been a suspicion that some of the
governments ( Russia especially ) inlslu tun
the occasion to their account for purpose :
Incompatible with the Interests of the other
parties to the concert. That suspicion rests
upon such radical grounds that It wll
hardly be dispelled until a nurmonlous peace
Is finally established ; and absolute confl
denco Is , therefore , at present , not attain
able. It is to be considered , however , that
none of the powers , not even Russia , Is now
In a condition favorable to the realization
of any ambitions seriously Involving- the
relations between the European powers. Al
are more concerned with Interests In Asln
and Africa than with any redistribution
of the map of southeastern Europe. It Is tc
the Interest of all parties that the Turkish
Balkan and Grecian questions should , foi
the present , at least , bu patched up ari |
left over for moro radical treatment a
some moro convenient season. This Is the
Si eat savins factor In the situation , and I
strongly suggests a probability that the
powers will pull together and whatevei
force may prove necessary to settle the
position of Crete and prevent Greece from
precipitating war with Turkey and the
Balkan states from Joining- the melee.
This seems about the vlow entertained by
intelligent observers In Wall street ; am
London and Paris appear to regard this
as the direction In which the probabllltlcf
largely preponderate. Upon this basis
operators hero show a disposition to fol
low the strong- drift of tnc- market toward
higher prices. Since Wednesday , a much
more buoyant feeling- has been developed
There Is a system In operations whlcl
seems to suggest a co-operative effort to
rfvo the market a general lift throughout
the list. One stock- after another Is taken
up In an apparently preconcerted order
Largo purchases by the Vanderbllt follow
ing appear to have given the cue to the
market ; and the readiness with which that
lead Is followed by others Indicates that
the rising tendency which sot In during
the latter half of the week Is something
more than a momentary spurt. It receives
moro support than appears on the surface
from the opening of congress. The specla
session conveys the feeling that the new
idmlnlstration has taken hold of practlca
legislation with a will and Iq In earnest to
remedy the evil condltlonn from which the
country has been so long suffering. There
s something Inspiring In tlio assurances
thus convc-yed that there will bo a speedy
end to deficiencies of revenue and to the
embarrassments of the treasury. The new
tariff legislation , though eliciting' sharp dif
ferences of opinion nt the outset , Inspires
confidence in mercantile circles by the
promise that the outcome will be a revival
of our Industries under the policy that , up
to 1893. had miulo the. country thriving and
prosperous. The result of all this Is to
llspel the discouraging consciousness of bo
ng surrounded by abnormal conditions nnd
lubloiiH policies , nnd to produce that feei
ng of Hcttledncss which encourages the
steady pursuit of business. All this Is
wholesome nnd conducive to confidence ,
nnd the past week 1ms given us n fore-
asto of the bolter times which It nil por-
ends. Wall street Is not likely to fall'to
respond to these now conditions.

NEW YORK , March 21. Wall street has
lad a week of fair to middling activity. Up
111 Friday It looked ns though a bull boom
md really come. Of a sudden It petered
out. The advances of the first four days
of the week were all lost on Friday , nnd
estcrday such activity as appeared proved
lot mue-h else than weakness.
The Vanderbllt name bus been conjured
nlth during the last fortnight much more
successfully than any open sesame scheme
relied upon by Wall street manipulators
n n long time past. When the Lake Shore
refunding schema was announced the con-
equcnt hurrah over It wns simply war
ranted. In so far as Lake Shore Itself was
'oncorncd for Lake Shorn Is by long odds
ar In advance oven of most of the high-
'loBB properties whose securities are dealt
n on the New York Stoek exchange. It
leservedly ranks with the Chicago & Alton ,
uid It Is hard elsewhere eo find a fully fit
> eer for the pair. Other maHnlflccnt rnll-
oad properties there are , amply deserving
he confidence of the Investment world , but
n Lake Shore almost every line of tu-
erlorlty crystallizes.
Wall street , however , 'had ' for so lonp
acked exouse for rnthUKlntun on the bull
Ido that with rousing hurrahs It rushed In
o proclaim that similar advantages were
usl ahead for every one of the other Si r.-
eibllt properties and In the list of Vatider-
) llt properties on Wall street Is a long line

Many Wall street , traders who have been

uddenly dipped over to Uke the bear tack.
iomo of these have cold out at the top ,
others were convchiAiaftcr the reaction o

market. This Is ott xciptlotml sltuatloi
for In ordinary Wiilrwrcpt records ( he pre

would rellex'o them of. Tlio public , whle

that the public la not rich enough to spccu

temporarily iioldlng itself In check , wait
Ing for pomethlng to happen In tariff legl ?

bbn , that which Is certain Is that the publl
Is nowhere to bo found In Wall street.
This leaves the professional talent of th
stock exchange in much bettor control o
the market than ever before the tnlent ha
been able to bo.
Chicago a week or moro ago began t' '
show nn Inclination to tnKo hold of certain
tain stocks made conspicuous by curren
manipulation. One crowd of Chicago oper
ntors acquired largo Interests In Omaha
or 10 points below tlid price it reached las
Thursday. This Chicago Interest succccdei

DISCLOSURES ARE SUBSTANTIATED
When some weeks ago disclosures wen
made In these dispatches of the remarknbU
financiering which had hitherto been cov *
ereil up by the mystery pulley of the Jer
sey Central railroad there was something
of u AVall street outcry against my statement -
ment on the ! ground that tney were sensa
tional. This notion has slnco been prcttj
well eradicated. Yesterday a sudden slum ]
came , the stock having worked down te
about 91 , fell off a sudden about 3 points
The manipulators seemed to have nbaii'
cloned their scheme of supporting orders
Long stock came out. Liquidation wns ap
rarently open. Today the stock has beer
ono of the most actively traded In , and II
closed weak at 90)i , having today beer
down to SO.
In this Jersey Central Incident are sug
gestions representative of conditions whlcl
are too abundant In the nnancl.il world
We have too many properties whoso con
ditions are mysteries , wnoso mamiR-oinont !
for vanity's sake , or Wf > rse , refuse to IK
straightforward In their representations te
the public. They hide away what Is bad
giving AVall street only what has any slur
of encouragement In It. In too many cases
this Is merely part pp efforts to unload se
curities upon the. public. A railroad coin
pany with a mystery. In it , or Indeed am
corporation with a mystery In it , Is to be
suspected. Never yet have final results it
any such properties been other than dis
astrous. The old Cordage trust and Its
history are too much a lasting Wall street
type.
Outsldo of Wall street the general sltun
tlon grown more .encouraging. In bnuklni :
circles , among the wholesale merchants am
manufacturers , from , every commercial am
Industrial quarter , come assurances thai
better times show signs of being close ill
hand. Only linal congressional action or
the tariff Is waited for to glvo the slgna
for the start. II. ALLAWAY.

little doubt that If Greece yields to the

iPNlrr Textile Trade Review.
MANCHESTER , March 21.-Thero has
lioen no change worth hpeclal notice in the
local market during the last week. The
volume of goods sold has certainly been
much lighter , but the engagements already
looked are quite BUlflclcnt to keen thel ma
chinery going for some weeks. Yarns are
llrm , though no largo stocks have been
sold. There have been numerous offerings
n cloths , but by far the larger share has
been considered under the limit of rpmuner-
itive transactions. The volume of business
with China is rather less than It was earlier
n the season , but the orders plact.l are
tufllclent to keep the looms active for a
nonth or more. Indeed , additional looms
ire starting , though manufacturers are be-
noanlng the low prices obtained. So far
is the continental market la concerned , the
position is not changed materially from

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were ol
liberal proportions for a Satuulay and the
mat ket In very witlsfactoiy condition ,
Killing cattle 'were ' in good demand and
sold freely at steady to strong prices. One
bunch of pretty decent beef steers sold al
$4.CO , while the bulk brought J4.10ft > l.40. Cowt
and helfeis sold In about the same notches
as yesterday. Everything that would defer
for killers sold early.
Feeding cattle were also just about steady ,
The iMttle market of the past week wat
decidedly In sellers' favor , tliu movement be
ing active and the tendency of values up
ward. The modeiatc leceints ut all the
great markets , Indicating no large supply ol
nit cattle In t'nc ' country , was thu chief
feature of strength. This , taken In con
nection with the excellent demand , both
local and snipping , pushed values on beel
steers steadily upward. At the close of the
week the nmiket Is about ) c higher than
It was a week ago.
Cows and heifers were In very moderate
supply all the week past , and good kinds
advanced In about the same degree as
beef steers. The market on bulls and stags
was also i. little inlgher , and on veal calves
It was strong.
Stackers and feeders were free sellers all
the week , the demand being fully equal to ,
or oven In exce.-s of the supply. The prices
paid were strong all the WUUK and desirable
feeding cattle aio now belling at the
highest point of the year. The advance on
fat cattle has stimulated thu demand for
feeders , and thu country seems more willing
than ever to pay the strong prices asked.
HOGS Values \\eie again hlKhur today , jes-
tenluy'g htrlde Umard | being followed by a

nlth iirlces n nickel higher , and the most of the

cr.titr. U was piaUlcnlly a $4.00 maiket , the
bJlk < : ! the liofjcelling al Unit figure , with
quite u showing at JJ.97',4 and 14.05.
In Mute of the bearish Inclinations of the

and closing price. There was no fresh ex'
port business at the seaboard and onlj
13,01)0 bu. sold to millers here.
Corn waa dull and trading In It slack ,
fluctuations being within a He limit nr
to fifteen minutes from the close. Smal
receipts and enormous \Veekiy exports
served to hold prices steady up to thai
time. Then the closing weakness of wheat ,
coupled with rumors of rnio cutting , gave
a sudden down turn to the market. May
opened unchanged at 23'&e , declined tc
from 21 = 4c to 2i 'fc nnd closed easy at 24fet ! .
Oats opened easy and remained so durlns
the entire session , although the covering
of a short line by I'utten caused a slightly
better feeling later In the day. Business
was dull and there was nothing of Inter
est reported. May opened a shade lower at
17c , sold to from 17'ic to l"V4c , and closed
at ITUc. Clearances from the seaboard for
the week were 848,000 bu.
Provisions wcro a shade higher at the
opening because of the remarkably small
run of hogs , hut the strength gave place
to sudden weakness when It appeared that
commission houses had nothing but selling
orders. English houses were good buyers
