hELPLESS AS a LOG.
the Big steamer Plymouth Endan'
gered by an Accident.

New YORK, December 10.-The Fail River
Line steamer Plymouth, which left her pier
at 430 last evening for Fall River, did not
extend her journey beyond the entranc to
Sound. At 545 O'Clock while passing
between Fort Schuyler and College Point,
the cable leading from the pilot house to the
rudder, connecting the latter with the steam
stearing gear, snapped off short.
An attempt to proceed. using the hand
steering gear proved useless, and the an
chors were dropped and the Plymouth. with
400 souls on board, lay all night, helpless as
a log At daybreak the steamer City of
Brockton towed the Plymouth through He'll
Gate, when another accident happened. The
hawser snapped. and the Plymouth nearly
ran into the lead of a pier on the Long Isl
aud side, but was finally docked in safety

Perhaps the continued on terry of the silver
men has had something to do with the idea
prevailing in some quarters that the govern
ment should load itself up with crops or
with land. When the silver men advanced
the argument that the government should af-
ford them market Tor their silver. and
later, when the idea was broached that the
government might take silver bullion and
upon it issue treasury notes or certificates,
many people who are not to be blamed per-
haps because they do not consider silver diff
ferent from other commodities, said at once
that the government might al-o loan money
on wheat or on land. The result is num-

WASHINGTON, December 10.-A signif-
cant vote was taken in the caucus committee
today. which is interpreted here as meaning
that Democratic opposition to the Dunnell
apportionment bill Is to collapse. The Dem
ocratic conspiracy, hatched by the Hill wing
of the party, has been to discredit the census
by getting recount in New York and thus
defeat any apportionment BILL Unfortu-
nately for this conspiracy 1t confiicted with
the state pride of some very good democrats
While New York may not fare so we'll as
the Hill men could wish, some Democratic
states IN the South and West are quite well
satisfied. since it gives them increased repre-
sentation in the Democratic national con-
vention. This feeling was shown in the
up of going on with the apportionment with
out waiting for the result of the agitation
for a recount in New York city. All the Re-
publican members of the committee voted
not to wait for the settlement of New York's
demand, and with them voted two Demo-
Gratis, Messrs. Tillman of South Carolina,
and Washington of Tennessee. This is in
terpreted to mean that the Democrats are
not united in the scheme to use the New
York affair to beat apportionment and that
there will not be serious opposition to the
passage of the Dunnell bill. This bill gives
an undeniable advantage to the Republicans
for the next ten years, but as that advantage
has been earned by growth of population in
Republican states there is no good ground
for attempting to nullify 1t In Congress.

to Mako Compromise.

There are indications that the Treasury
Department may make a compromise In the
matter OF the Canadian railways The pre-
sent Impression Of those who have given the
most attention to the subject, and who are In
very close relations with the Administration.
is that the Secretary Of the Treasury will
withdraw the United States Consular Agent
from Vancouver, who has been engaged In
the bonding and sealing cars there for trans
portatlon to the United States, and will also
withdraw the bond by which the Canadian
Pacific has been able TO run steamship line
from Its western terminus Fort Moody, to
San Francisco, but that the request for the
withdrawal Of the United States Customs In
speetor station at Port Huron and In the cen
trail portion Of the Dominion will not be
granted. The philosophy Of such movement
would be apparently to satlsfythe complaints
which the transcontinental line, railways
have made In the matter Of the unjust dis
ordinations against the American
transcontinental line, which Is the

TORONTO, August 10.-An Ottawa des

says Secretary Window, according to Wash.
tngton dispatches, Is contemplating the
withdrawal Of permission to allow Urited
States customs officials to bond cars in Can
adian territory for transit through the
United States. The impression prevails In
certain quarters that the arrangement Is a
"Jug-handled" one, and that Canadian rail-
ways alone are benefttlng. Owing 10 this
arrangement, no less than nine Canadian
officers of customs are stationed at different
points In the United States TO do precisely
similar work fer the benefit OF American
shipping through Canada as performed by
United States officers In the Dominion.
