The orew finally decided to quit the ship, but the skipper resolutely refused to go with them, declaring that he would stand by his old hooker to the last. The men collected all the provisions that were on board, and, taking also every drop of fresh, water, lowered the boat and put off, leaving the captain without anv food or drink. For four days the Hollinswood,, as heavy as lead and quite unnavigable. .-with, her decks almost awash, dritfed across the gulf - at the mercy of wind and tide, her helpless master suffering all the pains of hunger and thirst.

brought round and carried on to Galveston. The plans for the establishment of a Mormon colony in Mexico have been sent to the Federal Government.

Miss Lucinda Sarrar, of New Orleans, daughter of Mr. Edward Sarrrr, President of the American Bar Association, has committed suicide in her rooms ir. the Latin Quarter here.

Phillipo Dunau Starillo, who conceived the scheme and negotiated the adoption of the Panama Canal by the United States, referring to tne proposed fortifications, says "that the right of the world's free use of the sea s must stand higher than the sovereign rights of one nation. The waters of canals should b< on a similar .basis. The Panama Canal ought to be considered by the nations in the same light as an open sea, and should be without menace or obstruction. However small, a canal ought to be open to every vessel, both in time of peace <and of war, .and the great mora) and material interests of the United States would be much better served by an indestructible highwav unfortified than by an artificial and easily destructible canal, even if the latter were guarded by a, £3,000,000 system of guns and forts. No nation should be harmed by it, no natural rights should be violated. It should be something created for the serving of the cause of peace." Oct. 30.
