enumerated above, while IN the other
boat, under the command of First Mate
Henry Muller, were Seamen Snyder,
Oscar Magnussen, }. Forgeson and Mar
tin. During calm which followed the
wreck. strong tides bore the small boats

that all the provisions and water, of
which but small quantity had been
taken at first, were exhausted. They
reached the vessel again on the ninth
day, when nearly dead from hunger and
thirst. A supply of canned goods was
obtained from the bark, which had
sunk OH the reef and was still breaking
up, and start was then made for Hon.
oiulu. off the island OF Maui, one of
the Hawaiian group, heavy gales were
experienced, and two days after leav-
ing the vessel for a second time the first
mates boat parted company with the
other to take the more n0rtherly course.
The second boat has not been seen and
the fate of the mate and his party is in
doubt.

ATTORNEYS FEES.
The Leavitt Bill Recommended tc

The Leavitt Bill Recommended to
Pass After a Searching Debate.
Senator LeaYitt made gallant fight
for his bill placing attorneys under GER
tain contract restrictions in cases for
personal injury. 1t met with opposition,
as he had predicted it would, but he was
ready to meet the issue squarely and
without eqivOcation. The author pre-
faced his argument with the explana-
ton for the benefit Of the lawyer sena-
tors that it is not aimed at them. The
object Is to reach the pirates of the legal
profession. who make it a practice to
swOOp down upon the man who receives
an INJURY in a railroad accident. or in
any way whereby a corporation may
possibly be held for damages, and then
enter into a contract to take the case
for the lions share of the, verdict.
Senator DOnnelly opposed the bill.
He had suspected That Senator Leavitt
! had introduced it at the request of some
one and that the influence of 2 corpora
ton was behind it, but the Sage eX-
planned that he was gratified to learn of
his error. He would say nothing per-
s0nal, and he would credit Senator
LtdNllL Will lnC OCol lbbLlhSO III ohP
porting the measure. He then proceed
ed to argue that the bill will abridge the
rights OF the sufferer from personal in
jury. They are usually poor men and
employees, and it viii be difficult 10 get
a lawyer to prosecute the case under
the provisions of the act proposed. Sen
ator Leavitt replied that he had too
much confidence in the honor and i'll
tegrity Of the better class of lawyers to
take this view. Any lawyer who is
! proud OF his profession will come to the
| aid of poor man and prosecute per-
: sonal injury case with vigOr 10 the ends
of justice. Senator McHale was exceed
| ingly severe He held the bill up TO ridi-
Guile and he carried the theories to the
unwritten end. He said the bill will
work in the interests OF corporations
and against poor men. Senator Mayo
! favored the bill and made an eloquent
plea for it, citing his experience as a
surgeon and an expert witness in GER
| tain cases. He knew of one case where
! verdict for $4,000 was given, and of
this the lawyer took $1,000 for his serv-
| ices.
Senator O'Brien moved to amend so
! that in case no contract is entered into
the lawyers fees shall not be more than
~ per cent of the judgment, but this
was lost, and then the bill was recon-
mended to pass.

AFFECTS THE WEST.
Trans Mississippi Congress to
Meet at Ogden, Utah.

Trans Mississippi Congress to
Meet at Ogden, Utah.
Los ANGELES, Cal, March 6.-The
Trans Mississippi congress will meet at
Ogden, Utah, April "a. The territory
embraced in the representation to this
congress takes In all of the United
States west Of the Mississippi river, and
that small part of Louisiana and Mime
sofa east of the river. The basis of rep
resentation is rs follows: The governor
of each state and territory has a
right to appoint ten delegates; the
county commissioners or county judges
NAV name one delegate from each
county; the mayors of all towns and
cities select one delegate for each 5000
people or fractional part thereof, and,
no matter how small town may be, II
it has a mayor it is entitled to one
delegate; all commercial bodies in all
towns and cities may appoint the same
number as the mayor. All tranSporta-
ton companies, whetheP-rail or steam
ship, are entitled to one delegate each.
Governors, mayors, county judges and
presidents of boards of supervisors
are ex-officio delegates to the con-
gress. The object of the congress is to
discuss all questions affecting the West
that may be the subject of legislation
at Washington and to speak through
its resolutions to the national
congress. Hence irrigation, arid lands,
silver, public lands, the policy Of the
secretary of the interior, Pacific and
Gulf cost harbors, and many other i'm
portant questions come up In a body
composed entirely of Western men. 1t
is the earnest desire of the officers and
friends Of the congress that the next
session should be attended by all the
governors and congressman of the
twenty-five trans-Mississippi states, with
a view to harmony and unity of action
in legislation in the interest of the West.

A STARTLING EXPOSE
Is Promised by Senator Kel-
ler'S Pine Land Smelling
Committee.
Evidence Already In That Is
Considered as Showing a
Gross LaXness.
Senator Donnelly Throws Out
a Hint of RottennesS to
Be Exposed.
A Quiet Day Of Routine Work
In the Upper Legislative
Branch.

As Is usual Monday. there was light
attendance of senators at yesterdays
session. The consequence was that
nothing of special Importance was done.
The calendar was avoided, for expert
ence has taught that the passing OF bills
with light attendance is rather diff
cult. After listening to the usual petit
tons, etc., the senate went into commit
tee of the whole at 1 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. Bill after bill was passed by
owing to the absence of the authors,
and Senator LOmmen's bill relating to
common carriers was TecOmmitted to
the railroad committee for amendment
at his request.
Senator Keller is very much in earnest
in prosecuting the investigation into al
legged frauds upon pine lands, and he
had a resolution passed apprOpriating
800 TO meet the current expenses of the
committee. The purpose is to bring q
large number Of witnesses from the
pine land regions of the state, and the
committee feels that something start
ling will be unearthed. Already there
has been evidence taken of lands that
escape taxation. and also of school
lands that are being fraudulently de-
nuded of timber.
Senator DOnnelly. in telling speech,
promised the senate that some revela-
tons will be made in the near future.
He said the door had been opened to
some extraordinary conditions. One
witness. an intelligent man, had testi-
ned that not 81 in $40 belonging to the
school fund is ever paid in the northern
part of the state. There was no oppnsi-
ton to the resolution, and the sergeant
at arms will stralghtway subpoena wit
nesSes. and the whole thing will be
thoroughly prObed.

The Emergency Bill.

There was deficiency of $4,000 iii
the appropriation for the third hospital
of the insane building two years ago,
and yesterday at the urgent request OF
Senator Davis, the chairman of the conf
mittee on insane, etc., the emergency
bill was passed under a suspension of
the rules. Senator Davis explained at
length that the original estimate fof the
Fergus Falls asylum was $4,000. but
for some reason this was shaded to $780,
600, and the lowest bid received for the
structure was $4,000. The result Is
the walls have been constructed and
they stand without roof. The emer-
gency bill provides for an appropriation
of S3S, 900 to complete the building and
equip it. There was not a negative
voice.
Senator Tawney calledup House File
613 yesterday and moved suspension
of the rules to place it OH its passage.
The measure corrects an erroneous date
in the history of the Minnesota troops
in the civil war. 1t passed.
