INTO AN ICEBERG.
Thrilling Experience ofthe Steam
er ThingVaila.


New YORK, May 26.-The Danish
steamship Thingvalla, which left Copen-
hagen OH the 9th inst, arrived at this
port this morning, and Capt. Lamb re-
lates most thrilling experience and an
almost miraculous escape from a watery
grave. The steamer collided with an
iceberg in the early hours of the morn
ing of the 10Th inst. Capt. Lamb says
the 18th. During the night the
temperature of the water was taken
very frequently, as the vessel was in
the region of icebergs coming down
from Labrador, Capt. Lamb was below,
and Second Officer Jurgenson was in
command of the deck. The waters
temperature did not indicate the vicinity
of any large body of ice. At 3 o'clock
in the morning of the 10th, while In
latitude 47.10, longitude 42.30, the look
out suddenly sighted an immense mass
of ice rising twenty-five feet out of the
water, directly ahead. He shouted
warning, but not i'll time to stop the
steamer. The engines were reversed,
but the vessel ran with full force into
the berg. Fortunately the ice sloped
outward above the water, and it was the
upper part of the vessel that suffered:
The iron bow plates were ripped off
and considerable damage done to the
stem. Pieces of ice came tumbling
down upon the deck. The steamer ran
full tilt upon the berg, though she re-
ceived no damage below the water line.
There were 500 steerage and 80 first
class passengers ON board. The shock
threw many out of their beds and they
rushed upon the deck, afraid that the
vessel was going down. They were
quieted by the captain and officers.
Capt. Lamb says it was the most thrill
ing experience in all his seafaring life.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
A VoIuminous Substitute for the
House Bill.

A VOluminous Substitute for the
House Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The senate
committee on public lands to-day con-
cluded its consideration of the house
bill to repeal the timber culture laws.
and Chairman Plumb reported to the
senate a substitute therefor. The house
measure was comparatively brief, while
the senate committee bill is a volumi-
nous document, relating to desert land
sales and toWnSite entries as well. Inc
bill repeals the timber culture act Of
1878, except as to the state Of Nebraska,
and all acts supplementary thereto,
with provisos that no valid rights
under the act shall be disturbed, that
entries made in good faith may be
proved up and paid for at the rate OF
S1.25 an acre, and that no land acquired
under the terms of the bill shall become
liable for debts contracted prior to the
issuing of final certificate therefor. The
act of 1877, making provision for the
sale of desert lands, is amended by the
addition of five sections for government
issue of patents of lands to be irrigated
and giving parties the right to associate
together in the construction OF Irrlgat-
ing canals and bitches. The bill fur
ther provides that no public lands
of the United States shall be Of
fered at public sale, except
abandoned military or other reServa-
tions, isolated and disconnected frac-
tiOnal tracts and mineral and other
lands, specially authorized to be sold by
congress. Provision is made for enter
ing town sites in Alaska, limited to 100
acres, and for the requirement of tracts.
not exceeding 100 acres in extent, by
manufacturing or trade associations at
$3.50 an acre. From the operation of
these provisions are excepted lands and
lands containing precious minerals,
public reservations, fish culture
lands on Kodiac and Afaguak
islands, and islands of the Priby-
lov group, and tracts of land not
exceeding $40 acres in extent, occupied
as missionaries stations. The right to
regulate the taking and protection Of
salmon is also reserved. Townslte en-
tries, the bill provides, may be made by
incorporated towns and cities on the
mineral lands of the United States, but
they shall not acquire title to any vein
of mineral ore. When mineral veins
are possessed within the limits of an in
corporated town or city, and such pos
session is recognized by local authority
or the laws of the United States, the
title to town lots shall be subject to
such recognized possession and the nee
essary use thereof, and the posseSSOr of
such mineral vein may enter and re-
ceive patent therefor and the surface
ground appertaining thereto.

sent them to Spring Valley. Mr.. Lloyd
did not know whether the work of the
man Fort had been done before or afteE

almost dulled his senses. He lived forty
minutes after receiving the fatal

lips were for his youngest brother, Will

was with him at the time Of the acci-

MANY CHINAMEN LOST.

CeIGStIaiS Drowned at the wreck
of the Oneida.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26. - Capt.
Anderson, of the ship Oneida, arrived
here last night ON the schooner Mary
Kimball. He reports that his ship was
wrecked April 26 on Hennine's Rock,
Lanck Island, in Behring sea, and sew
enty-seven Cinnamon lost. The Oneida
had on board ITO Chinese and 45 white
men, nearly all of whom were on their
way to salmon cannery on Lanck
when the Oneida had nearly
reached her destination, Capt.
Anderson stated he made run
OF about thirty miles to clear
the southwest point of the island. At
9 p. m. he supposed he was a long
distance from the island. He could not
see on account of heavy fog. He put
back about three miles, expecting to
pass on the opposite side of the point.
Instead the vessel struck on Hennine's
rock on the southwest end of the island.
A heavy sea was on, and in short time
the Oneida was total wreck. The
white men and thirtY-three Chinese
escaped in boats or floated ashore on
pieces of the wreck. Seventy-seven
Chinese were, undoubtedly, drowned,
as they have never since been heard of.
The Oneida had on board material for
building and running salmon cannery.
which was to have been erected on the
island. She was built in Maine in 1866,
was of 1900 tons burthen, and was
owned by Leon SlOSS,

Special to the GLOBE.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May 26.-The
Sioux Indian sis no slouch," to use
slang phrase, when it comes to getting
his share Of the loose money floating
around in his vicinity. The pow-wow
held by the Sioux Indians on the Bad
river fully illustrates this fact. These
Indians held council to consult with
each other in regard to the proposed ex-
tension of the railway lines across the
ceded lands to the Black Hills. The
question was discussed in its various
phases, some arguing that a railroad
across the country would demolish the
communities through which it passed.
while very small minority could see
small benefit to be derived from the
building of the roads. But there was
only a sprinkling of the latter kind OF
Indians present at the council, and
when one speaker advanced what he
thought most liberal proposition, to
allow the companies five feet IN width
across their lands, the latter to fence
the same and to construct strong gateS
at the crossings, he was voted out OF
order and the proposition received no
consideration. The general drift of
sentiment in the council was that the
railroads would interfere with their
farming operations, kill their cattle, SCI
fire to the prairie and burn OF the grass
which their cattle now roam over in the
fall and winter, which would compel
them to NOW and stack the hay, thus
making "a heap more work'' for poor
Lo. There were those who had no use
for railroad under any consideration.
The fiery steed, flying across the coun-
thy, would scare away the few antelope
and deer that still seek refuge ON their
lands. The braves were enthusiastic

squaws. These dusky flowers of the
