logs that wall be floated into the
Sound, and the orders that he has al
ready reoeived makes it certain that
there will be more logging done in
this section during the ooming season
than has ever been known before. In
the vicinity of the two or three camps
that Mr. Brown proposes to establish,
he olaims that there are 200,000,000
feet of fine timber, ready for the ax,
and that it will furnish profitable log
ging for twenty-five years. A season's
work, he says, will hardly make a no
ticeable loss of timber thereabouts.

A TRAGEDY AT SEA
ONE OF THE MOST ATROCIOUS
REPORTED IN MONTHS.
Crew' of an Amerioan Trading Vessel
Mutinied and Killed Their Captain
and Mate and a Passenger.
San Franoisco, Jan. 25. A trading
firm in this city has reoeived advices
from the English consul on the island
of Yapi one of the Pelew group in the
South seas, regarding one of : the most
atrocious tragedies reported for months.
November 19 the crew on the Ameri
can trading vessel Maria mutinied, it
is said, and murdered Captian Brown,
Mate Hohlmann and a passenger. The
oaptain's wife and their son . were
nearly killed by blows from an ax.
The tragedy was reported from Singa
pore November 20, but it was erron
eously stated that the mntiny took
plaoe on the Spanish ship Maria Seoun
da. The Maria is an Amerioan ship,
flying a Spanish ensign. The mu
tiny occurred off Andrew island. Cap
tain Brown retired at 10 o'clock at
night, leaving Boatswain Hover on
deok to stand watch. Mate Hohlmann
had already turned in. The boatswain
stole quietly forward, and gave word
to the orew that the time had oome to
act. He secured a sharp hatchet from
the oook's galley fuelbox, and, stealing
below to the skipper's cabin, struok at
Captain Brown with the weapon,
nearly cntting the sleeping man's head
from his body.
Brown turned on his side and gave a
dying groan, whioh awakened his wife,
and she shrieked for help. Mate Hohl
mann heard her ories and sprang from
bis berth to go to the resoue of the
woman. Hover had stationed a Pelew
boy behind the door to the mate's
oabin. The lad was armed with an
ax, and when Hohlmann made his ap
pearance in his captain's room the boy
dealt him a blow on the head, killing
him instantly.
The single passenger was caged be
low, but all the firearms were removed
from the cabin,' and he oould not find
anything with whioh to defend him
self. The mutineers-were afraid to
attack him in the saloon, so they called
to him to come on deck, saying his life
would be spared. He came on deck,
and was struck by one of the sailors.
He ran to the rail, bleeding from a out
on his shoulder, and jumped into the
sea.. ...'.'
The mutineers then took the corpses
of Captain Brown and his mate, made
them fast to an anchor, and pitched
the weight into the sea. The schooner
was headed for Andrew island. Mrs.
Brown and her boy were kept close
prisoners, it being the intention of the
mutineers to put them ashore on an
isolated ooral reef near Andrew.
Before the island was reached the
Chinese cook, the native sailors and
the boatswain got fighting among
themselves, and knives were drawn.
The two half-breeds were killed in
stantly, and another died of wounds
reoeived. All the mutineers were more
or less wounded. Provisions gave out,
and when oruising off Anderw island
the sohooner was manned solely by the
boatswain, two Chinese and a half
breed. - The vessel was steered into
port, and the king of the isHnd gave
them food enough to last several weeks.
Before the vessel sailed again, how
ever, the king became suspicions,
boarded the craft, resoud Mrs. Brown
and her boy, the former more dead
than alive, and took the mutineers
prisoners. .
The Spanish gunboat Valasco put
in at Andrew, and took the murderers
to Manilla for trial. Mrs. Brown and
the boy were taken to Yap by O'Keefe's
sohooner. They are now at the mil
lionaire's trading station, awaiting
news from Valasco. '"'.'.
J. C. Osw Id, who has jnst returned
from the Orient, and who was a wit
ness of the exeoution of the Chinese
ringleaders of the recent massaore of
missionaries in that coutnry, in speak
ing of it says: "After the exeoution
had taken place the heads of the five
ringleaders, were plaoed in buokets
whioh were out so as to give a full
view of their ghastly contents and the
buckets were hung on the Foo Chow
bridge, where they remained on exhi
bition for two days. Then they were
taken to Ku Cheng, the scene of the
massacre of the ten Christian girls,
and were there hung on trees, where
they are probably still hanging. To
remove one of -the heads means imme
diate death to the offender. The exe
oution has had a great moral effect on
the Chinese, and I think it will be a
long time before- there will be mur
derous interference with the mission
aries." ..
Washington, Jan. . 24. In the ab
sence of any regular business in the
house todav. the session was devoted
to the consideration of minor matters
and legislation by unanimous consent.
The major portion of the day was con
sumed in the disoussion of . the senate
resolution appropirating $25,000 for
aorhiteotural aid in tne prepara
tion of plans for publio buildings. The
house adopted the report of the elections
committee in favor of Harry Miner, in
New York, in a contest brought for
his seat by Timothy Campbell.
DOINGS OF CONGRESS.
Routine Work of the Fifty-Fourth Ses
sionSenate. , Washington, Jan. 23 The senate put
aside finance and foreign affairs today
and gave the day to work on private
and minor bills on the calendar About
seventy bills passed, olearing the cal
endar of much aooumulation and leav
ing only important measures pending.
The Cuban question received brief
and inconclusive attention early in the
day.' Pugh's resolutions concerning
silver payments of the government
obligations were allowed to go cer.
Senator Sherman today gave notice of
amendments to Senator Pugh's con
current resolution providing for the
redemption of United States bonds in
silver coin.' Sherman's amendments
provide for the recognition of the law
declaring the policy of maintaining the
parity of gold and silver and require
the observance of this principle in car
rying the resolution into effect in case
it should pass.
.Washington, Jan. 24 Today 'a senate
session was marked by notable speeches
and notable debates. . Late in the
afternoon a controversy ooourred
between Sherman, Gorman, Teller
and others, whioh led to the
most spirited financial debate
which has ooourred since the present
oongress convened. Sherman spoke at
length on the silver question. Teller
and Gorman answered Sherman from
their respective standpoints, while
Aldrioh, Lindsay, Gray and others took
part in the exciting debate. Woloott's
speech oritioising the president's atti
tude on the Venezuela question was
the notable event of the early part of
the' day. For an hour the senator
commanded the attention of a orowded
ohamber and overflowing gallery.
Two important resolutions, were re
ported by the oommittee on foreign .
affairs, one strongly presenting the
serious oonidtion of affairs in Turkey
and urging prompt attention by the
oivilized powers, and an adverse report
on Mr. Call's resolution oalling for the'
offioial dispatches of United States con-
suls in Cuba.
Washington, Jan. 25. The three
subjects more prominently before the 1
publio are the Monroe doctrine, finanoe
and tariff, each of which oame up for
oonsideraton in the senate during the
day. Daniel spoke for two hours in
support of a vigorous upholding of the
Monroe dootorine as applicable to Ven
ezuela; Dubois of Idaho dealt with the
silver phase of the financial question,
and Warren of Wyoming pointed out
the disastrous effects of the tariff legis
lation of the last congress on farm pro-.
duots in general and on wool in par
ticular. The senate committee on
commerce today authorized McMillan
to report favoralby bills providing for
two additional revenue cutters on the
Great Lakes, two on the Paoifio ooast,
one in the vicinity of New York, and
one on the Gulf of Mexico; also a bill
for a lighthouse .tender on the Florida
coast Vest intoduced a bill in the
senate today to create the territory of
Indianola out of the part of the Indian
territory oeoupied by the oivilized
tribes.
House.
Washington, Jan. 23. The house
today passed the urgent deficiency bill.
The bill carried $4,415,922, of which
$3,242,582 was for the expenses of
United States courts. The abnormal
growth of expenses under the fee sys
tem of the courts came in for a good
deal of oritioism, and there was a gen
eral expression in favor of a salary sys- n
tern. Representative Mondell, of
Wyoming, today introduced a bill pro
viding for the appointment of a com
mission to treat with the Shoshone,
Arapahoe and Bannock Indians for the
surrender of and modification of any"
rights they may have to hunt on the
publio domain. The bill was drawn
for the purpose of remedying differ
ences growing out of the opposition to
their exeroise of this privilege and is
an echo of the settlers' tronble in the
vicinity of Jackson's Hole, Wyoming.
Washington, Jan. 25. The house re
sumed oonsidertion of the rules and
disposed of the last amendment offered
by the oommittee. It submitted for
the rules of the fifty -first congress, the
method of compelling the attendance of
a quorum proposed in the forty-sixth
congress by J. Randolph Tucker, with
some modifications. It was not until
the rules of the fifty-first congress
stood adopted, with the few modifica
tions reported from the committee, that
something like excitement was engen
dered by an eloquent speech from
Dolliver. He taunted the Demoorats
with at least acquiescing in the adop
tion of all the principles adopted in the
rules of the fifty-first congress, against
whioh they had raised their voices in
1890. This speech drew forth an in
dignant reply from ex-Speaker Crisp,
in the course of whioh he reviewed the
whole history of the controversy and
charged the other side with trying to
make political oapital by false pre
tenses. . ; ' ' ' ' ' ) .
Shells for the Government.
Philadelphia, Jan. 28. The Midvale
Steel Company has received an order
from the government for $50,000 worth
of first-class shells. It is said an order
