Chicora message mystery helps locate wreck site
A message found on a small tablet aboard the steamer Chicora, delivered to J.H. Graham, is believed to identify the hull location. McClure, brother to a drowned man, denies authorship, casting doubt until an official author yields evidence. The note suggests the wreck lies in shallow water far from South Haven, altering prior theories of its resting place.

Japan and Archduke Johann in British and American notices
Washington reports on rumors of Japan’s field marshal Count Yamagata tied to Archduke Johann’s fate. A London Standard story claims Johann vanished years ago with Yamagata described as a native of Japan and ally to influential officials. The dispatch notes Stevens’s familiarity with Yamagata and a similar line of figures as Ito and Taisho era personalities. Doan’s ointment is advertised as a cure for itching piles with Shiloh’s Cure promised for incipient consumption.
