was then taken up. Mr.. German stated
that he would vote against it because
the entire appropriation for the con-
Struction of ordinance was placed in
the hands of army officers. He believed
that he would offer resolution for a
select committee to investigate the
subject, and he believed that the
investigation would show chapter of
extravaganza and incOmpetency on the
part of the ordnance corps that would
only be riyalled by the recent disclos-
ures as to the ordnance department of
the English army. Mr.. Allison said it
had never entered his mind that the
construction of ordnance was to be the
exclusive work of army officers. The
first delivery of steel was to be eighteen
months from this time, and he believed
that there would be two or three Ses-
Sl0nS OF congress in which to settle the
question as to whether the construction
OF guns should be given to private
establishments or be done at the Water,
wet arsenal. 1t had never entered his
mind that private parties were to be ex-
Guided by this bill. Mr.. Beck quoted
A REMARK OF GEN. SHERIDAN r.

tons: ''Giye me the guns and will
lind a hole to put them in: for a good
hole is the best fertilization that l know

TO be supplied in the trenty's place
when it was rejected? Retaliation. That
meant hostility. 1t meant a propo-
Sltlon to worry. to tease to bull
doze the Canadians. He did not
think that wise, just or m anly policy
TOR the government of the United States
TO indulge in. An eye for an eye, and
tooth for tOoth'' was that, he asked,
the outcome of American craftsmanship
IN the 18th century, in dealing with a
christian power like Great Britain? The
youth of to-day will live to see the gov
eminent of the United States extend all
over the c0ntenent; and why attempt
to stop that extension by creating quar-
reiS? Mr. Frye asked unanimous COLI

New YORK, Aug. 16.-As soon as the
Wieland arrived in the lower bay
Capt. Moller, of the Geiser, left the
steamer on revenue cutter. lie
went directly to the Office of the
agents of the company, where he
was closeted a few moments with
the agents. He only left word that the
accident was due to the weather, and
left without stating his destination.
The rescued crew of the Geiser we're
taken to the Hotel Denmark OH the ar
rival of the Wieland. Twenty-four of
the passengers and crew of the Geiser,
under charge of Second Officer Jorgen-
sen. arrived at the Hotel Denmark.
THEY WE'RE BRAWNY FELLOWS,
curiously attired, and but few had
either coats or stockings.
Capt Albers, of the Wieland, upon
reaching quarantine, telegraphed the
first intimation of the disaster to Capt.
E. Berdenhauser, general superintend-
ent of the Hamburg line. Ar
engagements were at once made
Tor the reception OF the rescued
passengers in New York. Surveyor
of the Port Beattie and his assistant.
John Whelan, together with the agents
of the Thingvalla line, met the Wieland
as she reached her dock in Hoboken.
The Geiser was one of four vessels
owned by the Thingyalla line, and was
CONSIDERED THEIR CRACK SHIP.
Most of her passengers were Western
people, who were booked by A. Morten-
sen & Co., the general agents of the
line at Chicago. Mr.. MOrtensen is at
present in Copenhagen. His partner,
A. E. johnson, is expected to arrive to-
morrow in the North German Lloyd
steamer Saale. The Geiser was an
iron screw steamship of ISIS tons
burden. She was 324.4 feet long, 1913
feet beam and % feet depth of hold. She
was built at the yards of Burmeister s.
Vain at Copenhagen in 1881. She had
three masts, and was fitted with com
pound inverted engines, had four cylin-
ders of So and ~ inches diameter, and
42-iuch stroke.
The Thingvalla is somewhat smaller
than the Inflated Geiser. being 3O1.5
feet long and 37.4 feet beam. She is
registered at 1850 tons burden, and was
built at Burmeister's yards, Copen-
hagen. in 1874.

ing Many Men Idle.
Special to the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, Oak, Aug. 16.-This
afternoon J. B. Walkers big saw mill
caught fire in the boiler room. The
flames spread to the roof, and
soon the entire mill was enve-
loped in flames. The fire
spread with remarkable rapidity. The
men stopped work at the first alarm and
barely had time to get out of the mill,
several having narrow escapes. Great
volumes of flames rose skyward and the
cinders fell over the city, setting fire
to q. w. Ross residence, half
mile away, but it was quickly extin-
guished. The fire department. tackled
the mill and soon had the flames under
controle. Loss about $500. About
100000 feet of sawed lumber
was burned. All the machinery
is total wreck, and about 100 men are
temporarily out of employment. The
loss will be seriously felt by the eiti-
zens. 1t is quite probable that the mill
will be rebuilt, as Grand Forks is
great center for distributing lumber.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The willy Muley
Hassan, sultan of Moro eco, has been
oVerreached in cunning and with dis
astrous results. 1t seems that about
two months ago the rebels, who have for
long time resisted the sultan's de-
nomination, sent deputation to the
latter. But the terms which the depu-
tations proposed were not to the liking
of his majesty, and SO the rebel
representatives were ordered to
be beheaded by Muley. Recently
second deputation of rebels declared
that they were willing to pay the trib-
ute the sultan demanded. Consequent
~ the sultan dispatched his cousin,
Prince Muley, accompanied by an escort
OF 200 horsemen, to receive the submis-
sion of the rebels, and to bring back the
tribute. Instead, however, of accom-
plishing this object, Prince Muley and
his hOrsemen fell into ambuscade of the
rebels, who avenged the murder of their
comrades by killing the entire company.

was in his berth when the Thingvalla
crashed into the room. His bunk was
cut away within six inches of his face.
He managed to climb aboard the
Thingvalla as she drew back. He was
not so much as touched by the water.
The Thingvalla's
CREW DID ALL THEY COULD
to rescue the unfortunates and obeyed
orders promptly. The Thingvalla's up
per deck was not injured, but her bows
were broken in from point ten feet be-
low the deck, The dent was about
twenty-seyen feet in length and
ran back above and below
the water line to the collis-
ion bulkhead. Had it not been for that
bulkhead, the Thingvalla would have
gone down like shot. Capt. Lamb,
after the Geiser had gone down, and it
was known that there were no passen-
gers in any of the lost steamers boats,
had the
BOWS OF his OWN VESSEL
protected as far as possible with straw
mattresses and other materials to pre-
vent the water from entering. Distress
signals were sounded and the ship laid
to for daylight. The fog lifted about
$40 o'clock. Between 10 and II O'clock
the steamship Wieland, of the Ham
burg-American packet line was sighted.
She bore down to and laid-to

Capt. Lamb took boat and went to the

readily conented to receive the rescued
passengers and crew of the Geiser. The
work OF transferring was accomplished
with only single accident. A fifteen
year-Old boy, whose name l did not
learn,
HAD HIS LEGS CRUSHED.
He was one of the Thingvalla's pas
sengers. A number of her complement
were also taken aboard the Wieland.
The sea had become somewhat rougher
by this time, and there were many
lively scenes as the children and older
passengers were lowered in sings
to the boats. The able-bOd-
led passengers and the crew used
the ship ladders. AS we reached the
Wieland the last of the Gelser's aban-
dOned life boats f1oated out of sight.
There was 10 fault to be found with the
manner in which we were treated
aboard the Wieland.
NOTHING WAS TOO GOOD FOR Us
Even the passengers divided their
clothing with the unfortunates from
the Geiser."
John Teuwild, a saloonkeeper, of
Hudson, Wis, round-faced bulky
Swede said: II was asleep when
l heard the crash and hurried to
the deck where found quite a number
of men attempting to loosen the boats.

so rushed out, picked up plank and

THE SCENE WAS IIEART-RENDING.
There must have been thirty-five
heads above the water, but one by one
they disappeared"
Frederick G. Hansen, who lived in
Perth Amboy, N. j., was advised to take
a sea voyage for his health and sailed on
the Geiser. He said: Il heard some
body rushing through the companion
way, and rushed up, carrying my coat
and shoes. l found two oars and jump
ed overheard with them. The vessel
soon went down and was picked up"
