TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 2.—The crew of the British bark Marion Fraser, which left Tacoma last week with wheat for Europe, engaged in a terrific free fight aboard the vessel while in the straits Sunday. On Monday night John P. Somburg and Victor Fre: berg, two of the crew, attempted to e cape from the bark while she was Iying at shelter in Port Angeles. Fredberg made shore, but his companion was drowned. They used a raft made of emall timber. There was a heavy sea, and the raft struck a wharf, broke up and Somburg went under. Fredberg got ashore after a hard experfence. No fnquest was considered necessary Somburg was buried at Port Angeles ¢ by citizens. the Fraser left her their wages, 1 treated cruelly nt food.

Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, Jan. 26. Associate Justice McKenna took his seat upon the Supreme Bench to-day, attended by the usual ceremonies of | such an occasion. The Supreme Court room was crowded to its fullest ca- pacity, the throng including Joseph Choate of New York, Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, Turpie of Indiana, Ma- of Illinois, Carter of Montana, Mark Hanna and Assistant Attorney- General Boyd. The new Attorney-Gen- eral, Griggs, was absent. Judge McKenna's wife and daughters and the wives and families of the other justices were in the reserved seats to the left of the court. son There is a great deal of pomp and ! dignity Involved in the seating of a new judge on the Supreme bench, and | as the occasion is a rare one the offi- | clals of the court made the most of to- | day’s functlon. | Prior to entering the courtroom the | statutory oath was administered to | Judge McKenna, in the robing-room, | by the Chief Justice in the presence | of the members of the court. Judge | McKenna then donned his black silk | robe and took his place at the end of | the judicial line, preparatory to enter- | ing the courtroom. While the court- crier was announcing the formal en- trance of the court the spectators arose and remained standing until the Chief Justice and his assoclates reached their respective seats. In the meantime Judge McKenna had tarried at the clerk’s desk, where he remained seated until the Chief Justice announced the formal appoint- ment of Judge McKenna by the Presi- dent. Clerk McKinney read at length the commission of the new Associate Justice. The latter then arose and pro- ceeded to read the judicial oath. The Chief Justice, the Assoclate Justices and all the spectators arose and remained standing while Judge McKenna read in a clear, steady volice the usual oath. He then kissed the Bible presented him by Clerk McKinney, and immedi- ately became eligible to participate in the proceedings of the court. The mar- shal of the court escorted the new Jus- tice to the vacant chair at the extreme left of the Chief Justice. Upon taking his seat Judge McKenna turned and smiled approvingly to his wife and daughters, who fairly beamed | with delight. The ceremony being concluded Chief Justice Fuller announced the regular order of business. SON OF SENATOR HANNA SUED FOR A DIVORCE. Charged With Gross Neglect of and ER-I treme Cruelty to His Wife.

Reach a Verdict When Almost Dead and Suffering Greatly. Steam Was Turned Off as Soon &s They Had Retired to Deliberate. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 26.—If the story upon which is based the charge of corrup- tion of the jury which heard the case of Bucksport vs. Bluehill in the Han- cock County Supreme Court is true, that jury has passed through an exper- jence probably never before undergone under similar circumstances by any twelvé Maine jurymen. That twelve men should have been kept locked up in a cold room through such a severe night as was that of last Saturday, without lights, and then told that if they did not agree they would have to stay thera twenty-four hours longer, seems incredible, yet that is the story which has occasioned a motion that the verdict be set aside, and which the court will investigate. The action was brought to determine a pauper settlement. The case was an old one, and had been in the courts be- fore. There was a great deal of inter- est in it all over the county from the fact that at one time or another mem- bers of this particular family had lived in and received aid from a great many different towns. So closely were the lines drawn that it was difficult to get a jury to try the case, and a special ve- nire had to be issued in order to fill the panel. The case went to the jury on Satur- day afternoon about 6 o'clock. Then the steam was turned off, and the room allowed to become so cold that the jurors put on their overcoats, but could even then barely keep from freezing, as a terrible blizzard was blowing. Then the lights were put out. Some time Sunday morning the of- ficer in charge of the jury entered the room and informed the members that unless they should agree upon a ver- dict before midnight they would be kept where they were until 9 o’clock Monday morning. At 9 o'clock Sunday morn- ing a_sealed verdict was rendered. In the meantime the counsel for the plaintiff had heard of the alleged oc- currences in the jury room. and excep- tions were filed asking that the verdict be set aside on the ground that the jury had been corrupted.

LONDON, Jan. 26.—Lord George Ham- {lton, Secretary of State for India, speak- ing to-night at Chiswick, said he thought that during the course of the next twelve months the Government might take steps to establish a gold standard for India. Lord George Hamilton read a dispatch from the Indian uovernment, stating that the revenue was coming in well; that the expenditures on the frontier were much less than had been anticipated, and that the Government expected to be able to meet without difficulty all disbursements for the present fiscal year, with the pros- pect of a substantial surplus for next year's proceedings. et A DR.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 26.—Russia greatly desires to find means of com- munication between her north coast and Siberia by crossing the Arctic Sea. To this end she will make some exper- iments next summer. According to ad- mer, Admiral Makaroff, of the Russian navy, has announced his belief that it is possible to travel to Siberia by water across the Arctic Sea. The Admiral | has lately returned to St. Petersburg from a journey along the extreme northern coast, where he made extend- ed investigations and observations re- garding currents, seasons and the breaking up of ice in summer. His | report states that the chief obstacles to the establishment of a maritime route to the Obi and Yenisel rivers are the ice floes from the Kara Sea, located between the island of Nova Zembla and the Obi Peninsula. It is found that as a rule this sea is free from ice dur- pens that ice lasts throughout the sum- mer. Admiral Makaroff belleves that regu- lar communication with the north flow- ing Siberian rivers can be established through July and August by providing vessels bound for those ports with an escort of boats furnished with - ice plows. The government is planning to test his project, being greatly encouraged by the success of the Danish ice break- ers in keeping Vladivostock harbor open this winter. | ‘The Obi and Yenisei penetrate the central portion of Russia’s possessions, their tributaries extending to the boun- daries of Turkestan and the Chinese Emplre. These rivers draln immense | fertile plains, which Russla is desirous of having more completely settled. Lack of transportation 1s the principal drawback and this will be largely overcome if Admiral Makaroff's plan is feasible. Materials for the trans-Si- berian railroad can also be handled more cheaply that way. CHARLES M. SHORTRIDGE HAS ANOTHER RELAPSE.

The Leander and tor- pedo-destroyer Sparrowhawk are also un- derstood to be on their way south, and were to have left Esquimalt yesterday. It is impossible to learn what trouble the British are expecting off the coast of Chile, but it must be considered serious for the Leander and Sparrowhawk to be ordered from Esquimalt so soon after their long voyage from England.
