FATE OF THE IVANHOE.
One or Her Life lliioy. Una Been Found
on Vancouver Island.
Seattle, November 27. A Bpecial to
the Post-Intelligencer from Victoria
says that the wreckage reported ashore
on the northwestern end of Vancouver
Island as that of the ill-fated Ivanhoe is
now proved beyond a doubt, and when
the Bteamer Mischief returns it Is more
tiian probable that Captain Foot, her
master, will have definite news of the
fate of this long-missing vessel. The
wanting steamer Maude retured to-night
from the west coast, having gone as far
north as Kyukot Sound. The weather
during the trip was too rough to permit
much investigation, and the captain had
not heard before starting of the reports
brought by the steamer Mystery last
week. Almost his first words on land
ing were, however, of the Ivanhoe. He
Bind :
" I guess there is no further hope for
the Ivanhoe. She's made another of the
long list of vessels battered to pieces on
the west coast of this island. When we
were at Barclay Sound we heard of her.
Two white miners called last Tuesday at
an Indian's hut near the entrance to the
sound, and the first thing they noticed
in the place was one of the Ivanhoe's
life buoys hanging on the wall. There
was no doubt as to the identity, for the
ship's name and her port were clearly
narked. They waited for some time for
the Indians to return, so that they might
question them regarding the buoy, but
all hands were away fishing and there
was no telling when they would be back.
The men looked around, but could see
no other signs of wreckage, so they came
down and reported what they had seen
to me, requesting that I make known
the fact on reaching port. As a large
number of the Indians along Barclay
Sound just now have recently arrived
from farther up the coast, it is most
likely that the Ivanhoe's buoy had lieen
brought down from Kyukot or Cape
Scott. I had not heard of the wreckage
found there, as reported by the steamer
Mystery's engineer, but tins would ap
pear to corroborate it and settle its iden
tity as that of the Ivanhoe."
THE CLIFF DWELLERS.
Vlllnge Discovered Which Ha. Never
Kefore Been Seen by White Men.
rBEscoTT, Ariz., November 27. Re
cent arrivals from the Bradshaw Mount
ains report the discovery of a cliff
dwellers' village in one of the most in
accessable canyons of that range, which
has never before been seen by white
men. The discovery was ma le by two
prospectors. White and Williams, who
did no attempt a thorongh exploration,
but from their description this is the
largest village of the wonderful people
that has ever been discovered. The vil
lage is located along the high banks on
either side of Willow Canyon, and the
hone are estimated to be 2i0 in nnm
ber. It is verr difficult to reach this
canyon even with pack animals, which
accounts, for its having so long remained
undiscovered. There are three natural
terraces along the can von wall, and the
dwellings open back from these. Nar
row steps in the rock, now almost worn
away, seem to indicate that this wu a
method employed for accent and descent.
Several of the bouses were explored, and

large quantities of pottery and some in
struments, evidently used for cultivating
the soil, were found. In one the skele
ton of a man not over four feet eight
inches in height was discovered. The
canyon at this place is half a mile wide,
and shows evidence of having been
cultivated. If this thtory proves to be

THAT HAWAIIAN UPRISING.
Alleged Confirmation of the Iteport
Iteoelved Kroin Honolulu.
Pobt Townbend, Wash., November 20,
The press dispatches from San Fran
cisco intimating a probable uprising of
the royalists in Hawaii to overthrow the
present government and place Queen
"Lil" on the thrown receive part con'
Urination in this city. A well-known
and responsible ship broker made the
statement to-day that he knew from bis
own personal knowledge that large
quantities of fire arms and ammunition
have been recently shipped clandestine
ly to Hawaii on lumber vessels. He
Baid he had heard a load of arms came
out from the Kust over the Great North'
em to Puiret Sound, where it was trans
ferred to a small tug, which intercepted
two sailing vessels in the straits below
Port Townsend after they had cleared
from the custom-house, anil there trans
ferred the carno. The shipments were
originally marked as general merchan
dise destined for the Sound, but the car
was sidetracked at a small station near
tidewater and tlifl contents transferred
to the tug. All this occurred in early
September, and after the arms were
nlnced on the vessels the till returned.
and several cipher teleitrams, it is said,
were sent to Honolulu via San Francisco
and Vancouver. That the contraband
consignment waa intended for the royal
ists there can be no doubt, owing to the
surreptitious movements surrounding
the shipment. This information was
promptly sent to the Secretary of the
Treasury, as was also the fact that less
than a year ago a consignment oi ruies
and cartridges irom uie i-.ast was re
ceived over the Canadian Pacific and
sent from Vancouver to San Francisco
on an ocean steamer for transhipment to
Hawaii markets as merchandise, and
consigned to a well-known shipping firm
in Honolulu, and one not very inenuiy
to the new irovernment.
From statements made nere by per
sons engaged in business transactions
with vessels plying in the Hawaiian
trade there is every reason to believe
that army stores and munitions of war
have been smuggled into Hawaii, and at
a nrearranoed time everv rovalistin the
country will suddenly appear weit-armeu
and prepared to overthrow the present
government. There can be little or no
doubt as to the truthfulness of the Btory
about the clandestine shipment ot Ure
arms from Puget Sound to Honolulu.
THE STRIKE COMMISSION.
Ita
Reply to All Crltleiama Will
Be
Mads In an Official Manner.
Washington, November 20. Hon,
Carroll D. Wright, Chairman of the
Strike Commission, to-day addressed, ii
answer to the open letter to the commis
sion recently published in the Railway
Age, a reply to the editor, Harry P.
Robinson, of that paper. Mr. Wright
says :
"Yours ot the 10th instant, inclosing a
copy of your open letter to the Strike
Commission, was duly received.' I have
examined the points yoa attempt to
make against the commission and find
every material position taken by you
is false, while our own position is in
the main chiefly substantiated by the
evidence taken by the commission,
and chiefly by the sworn testimony of
the railroad and Pullman officials. This
evidence can be freely examined by any
one you see fit to send to this office, as I
have an extra copy of it, or you can find
a copy of it in the hands of Judge Worth
ington at Peoria. The testimony will be
printed bv order of Congress, and then
every one can satisfy himself as to the
truth ot the position taken Dy tne com
mission. I believe the report of the
commission to be thoroughly impregna
ble as to every material statement oi
facta. Whatever specific answer the
commission may make as to the churge
of the Railway Age and the other pa
pers, I presume the commission will
prefer to make officially, and not to any
individual publication. Such an answer
I have no right now to make, because I
have not consulted the members of the
commission. 1 write tins letter on my
own responsibility. Whoever calls on

testimony will be accorded every priv
ilege." THE KNIGHTS ADJOURN.

GREAT BATTLESHIP
Main One of the Chinese Navy
Strikes a Torpedo.
SHE IS RENDERED USELESS
Commodore Lin, Who Waa In Command
of the Ureal War Vessel, the Chin
Yuen, Forestalls Condemnation for
the Accident by Committing Suicide.
WabsHNqton, November 24. the Navy
Department to-day received a cablegram
from an officer in the American fleet in
China, detailed for the purpose of giv
ing confidential Information of Impor
tant events in the Eastern war, stating
that the Chin Yuen, the great Chinese
battleship, in leaving Wei Hat Wei har
bor November 18 was accidentally dam
aged by a torpedo, and was afterward
beached, there being no docking facili
ties. , She is, therefore, now useless and
could not have been In the figlitjoff Port
Arthur as reported earlier in the day.
Commander Lin, who was in command
of the vessel, anticipated official condem
nation by committing suicide.
Wei Hai Wei is the great arsenal of
China, and it is presumed the Chin Yuen
went there recently from Port Arthur,
where sue nas been with the rest ot the
Chinese vessels who survived the battle
of the Yalu. Wei Hai Wei Harbor is di
rectly across the Bay of Cores from Ta
lien Wan, a distance of 160 miles, and it
is significant that the Japanese Admiral,
Ito. telegraphed to his government un
der date of November 18 from Talien
Wan, stating that the principal Chinese
fleet with four gunboats was lving inside
the harbor at Wei Hai Wei,' and that,
although for two days the Japanese fleet
has made every effort to induce the Chi
nese vessels to come out, the attempts
had proved fruitless. The Admiral ap
pears to have returned to Ta hen Wan
probably on the 18th. leaving a portion
of his fleet watching for the appearance
oi the Chinese vessels outside oi Wei rial
Wei. The Chin Yuen possibly came out
to attack the Japanese fleet, when she
touched upon one of .the submarine
mines which the Chinese themselves had
placed in the channel of the harbor as a
means of defense. With the loss ot the
Chin Yuen, her greatest battleship,
China becomes practically powerless on
the sea. luis splendid vessel was very
much like the Maine of the United States
navy. She was built in Europe in 1882,
and is 7,4S0 tons displacement. There
remain the Ting Yuen, a powerful bat
tleship, and a lew lesser ironclads, but
without the aid of the Chin Yuen they
would hardly dare to make an offensive
campaign, and probably will remain in
port to assist in the defense.

Dodd,' attorney for the Standard Oil

case. The standard uu company uoes
no business in Texas anyway, but sells

under which these indictments have

members had shares, they would only
amount to a minor interest.

says the Deputy Marshals and Indian
police are not well enough paid to hunt
down desperadoes. The Indian police
receive $15 per month, and cannot afford
to pay traveling and other expenses out
of that amount in pursuit of robbers,
lie complains that rewards are offered
for desperadoes, but not paid if they are
brought in. He suggests that the police
be paid $50 per month and expenses.
Good men. he says, could be then ob
tained and placed under the direction of
the Indian agent, who would soon rid
the Territory of desperadoes. He says
the Cook gang is composed of three ne
groes and fifteen white men.
Useless Military Reservations.
Washington, November 24. By exec
utive orders and in conformity with the
terms of the general act of June, 1883, a
number of useless military reservations
have been turned over by the War De
partment to the Interior Department for
disposal nnder the laws. These reserva
tions are : Four on Puget Sound, name
ly, on the west side of the Narrows at
the south side of Gig harbor entrance,
582 acres ; on the west side of the Nar
rows, 637 acres ; on the west side of the
Narrows, south of Point Evans, 636 acres ;
on the south side of Gig harbor at the
Narrows, 550 acres. In South Dakota
Fort Sully reservation, containing 25,084
acres. In Arizona Fort Bowie reserva
tion, 23,040 acres. In Wyoming Fort
Kinney reservation, 24,060 acres. In
Nebraska Fort Sidney reservation, 3,1115
acres. In Oklahoma Fort Supply reser
vation, 40,320 acres.
Place for " Lot and Life."
Washington, November 24. Watt's
painting, " Love and Life," which has
remained so long boxed up in the White
House, will probably be hung in the
gallery of the Smithsonian Institution.
Mrs. Cleveland, it is said, decided that
it must not grace the White House, be
cause she is convinced that the White
House waa not intended by the people
of the United States, who own it, to be
used as an art gallery. Professor Lang
ley of the Smithsonian Institution bas
asked that the picture be sent to the
National Art Gallery, which is an annex
of the Smithsonian. This National Gal
lery was established by Congress, but so
far very few pictures have been secured
for it. Mrs. Cleveland is said to be
thoroughly in favor of adding one more
to the small collection.

Montevideo, Uruguary, November K.

ernment and representatives of the Una.
DUCEY TO CORRIGAN.
The Catholic Prleat'a Keply to the Arch
bishop's Letter.
New Yobc, November 24. Rer. Fa
ther Dncey ot St. Leo's Church to-night
sent a letter to Archbishop Corrigan in
answer to the letter which he received
from that dignitary a few days ago, in
which the Archbishop took him to task
for taking such a prominent part in the
meetings of the Lexow Committee. In
his reply to-night Father Ducey said:
" I regret to have received this evi
dence of your Excellency's want of ap
preciation of my persistent devotion and
sacrifice in the interest of truth, moral
ityand religion, tor years 1 have leit
that you should be next to the Holy Fa
ther now reigning the greatest factor for
good in the whole (Jatholic world. Un
fortunately I am forced to say that bere
in New York the great hour in the work
for good and humanity and the Catholic
Uliurch has been thrown to the wind,
and we are now reaping the whirlwind.
I am not the only man who believes and
thinks the greatest opportunity heaven
has thus given to the Catholic Church
since the days of our Lord and his apos
tles lor good has been sacrificed in the
city of New York. Had the church
openly acted with courage in opposing
the corruption and corrnptora of this
great city, the Catholic Church would
nave glorified throughout the world.
Now Dr. Parkhurst bas won."
Continuing, Father Ducey declares he
is surprised that Archbishop Corrigan
should be " pained " at a course which
has merited the recognition of the most
distinguished citizens of the United
States. He then says:
"There is nothing in my course, now
that the election is over, as yoa say, that
calls for a vindication of the sanctity of
the priesthood by you so far as my con
duct is concerned. I cannot see why I
should ' be commanded to abstain from
going to the sessions of the Lexow Com
mittee without permission in writing
from your Excellency. I have given my
word that I would attend the sessions of
this committee to its close when not pre
vented by my duties. I know full well
that I in no way transcend my duties as
a priest by my interest in the Lexow in
vestigation. I Bhall be greatly pleased
if your Excellency will inform me under
what canonical rules you forbid my pres
ence at any further sessions of the Lex
ow Committee."

sult of Accident.
Syracuse, N. Y., November 24. The
inquest touching the death of Cornelius
Riordan, who waa killed in a sparring
match with Robert Fitzslmmons in the
house of H. R. Jacobs last Friday night,
was held to-night before Coroner Rob
erts and a jury. The jury brought in
the following verdict after a long wran
gle, which lasted from U p.m. to 12:30
A. at. :
" We find that Cornelius Riordan came
to his death on the evening ot Friday,
November 16, from an accidental blow
delivered by Robert Fitzsimmons while
engaged in a sparring exhibition on the
stage oi the m. k. Jacobs upera nouse,
We exonerate Robert Fitzsimmons from
all blame."
Strong testimony against Fitzsimmons
was given by Dr. v. ill. Tolinan, who at
tended Riordan. He testified that the
blow delivered by Fitzsimmons alone was
the cause of death.
The Baring Liquidation.
London, November 24. The Daily

concerning the Baring liquidation : "It

4 per cent mortgage debenture bonds
redeemable at par within ten years, one-
tenth each vear, and 600,000 in 6 per
cent second mortgage debenture bonds
redeemable at 105 per cent. Both issues
will be ollered at par, and will be secured

securities that the bank already holds.
A prospectus is expected early this

California's Big Fruit Shipments.
San Fbancisco, November 24. The
total fruit shipments to date show a de
cided increase over those of last year.
The aggregate shipments have been 6,000
cars, as against 5,650 last year. Most of
the fruit was shipped before the strike,
and but for that unfortunate experience
the figures would httve been greatly en
larged. In canned fruitB and vegetables

cent over last year's shipments. The
exportation of prunes and other dried
fruits this year show an increase of 2
per cent.

understood to be first class. This insti
tution closed its doors during the panic
of 1803, and afterward reopened nnder
the authority of the Controller of the
Currency. At that time it obtained ex
tensions from its depositors for $172,000.
All of this has been paid except $12,000.

Tha West Coast Lumberman savs
Timbermen and lumbermen are realizing
that the boom statements made about
the standing timber in Washington are
lniuriona. This tournal nas frequently
stated that the popular estimates were
not only the wildest sort ol guesses, but
that they were keeping down the price
of our timber. A statement of some
body has recently got loose which re
duces the older estimates about 50 per
cent. Some well-posted lumbermen are
asking that this be again reduced. The
only safe ground to take on this ques
tion is the same Bob Ingersoll holds on
the hereafter one of ignorance.
For the second time in its history the
Portland Savings Bank failed to open its
doors. Lack ot public confidence and
the unremitting withdrawal of deposits
are given as the reasons for closing the
bank. O. N. Denny bas been appointed
receiver, and the bank will go into liqui
dation. The assets of the bank are given
at $1,650,000; liabilities, $1,430,000. The
closing of the bank was doubtless pre
cipitated by the death ot Frank Dekum,
the President, about one month ago.
