FOR SINKING THE ELBE.
The Captain of the Crathie Held at
Rotterdam.
Small Hope That More Lives Have Been
Saved From the Ill.Starred
German Liner.

ROTTERDAM, Feb. 1.-The British steamer
Crathie, which ran into and sank the Elbe,
has been sequestered at this port. Her
captain has been detained.
LowEsToFT, Feb. 1.-The terrific weather
of the past forty-eight hours continues
along the coast of England. Visits made
to-day to the life-saving and coast-guard
stations show that no additional news have
been received regarding the loss of the
Elbe, and no trace has been found of the
missing lifeboat supposed to contain peo-
pie from that steamer
However, the sea is so rough that many
fishing smacks, unable to make port, are
beating up and down the coast waiting for
a chance to run into some harbor.
1t became known to-day that on board
the Elbe was the body of NJ. c.. Connors of
Dakota, who died recently in sanitarium
at Berlin. Mrs. Connors, who accom-
panied her late husbands remains, was
drowned.
BREMEN, Feb. 1.-The official inquiry into
the foundering of the Elbe will probably be
held in this city. The charts show that at
the place where the Elbe went down the
water is 126 feet deep.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The latest official
cablegram received at the New York Office
OF the North German Lloyd Company in
this city to-day from the Bremen Office
showed total loss of 332 people by the
sinking of the Elbe. OF those aboard so
were cabin passengers and 143 steerage.
The crew !a an entirety consisted of 1853
people.
A cablegram received at the office of the
North German Lloyd Company this after
noon announced that the name of Antonio
Fisher of Washington, D. c., was correctly
printed in the list of those lost. Domingo
Furrsr, who was also reported lost, sailed
on a British vessel. To the list of persons
on board the Elbe the the pilots must be
added, thus swelling the total list to S34.

SLOWLY WORKING ARoUND.
The linton Pacific VIII Get Into Harmony
With It's RiedIs.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The Western lines
figured all day on the puzzle of how to get
the Union Pacific into the trunk lines
committee without pushing the Northern
Pacific out. The former demanded that it
be given share of the Puget Sound busi-
ness and the latter stood on the promises
made by the other Western roads that the
business should come to it alone. The Union
Pacific demanded that its rate to Puget
Sound be shown in the rate sheets and the
committee lines said it should not be done
The matter was finally solved by allowing
the Union Pacific rates to be placed in the
individual rate sheets, but they will not go
into the rate sheets of the trunk line
committee. The Northern Pacific took a
very liberal view of the matter and ex-
pressed itself as satisfied with this agree
ment.
There is now but one thing which keeps
the Union Pacific out of the committee
and that is the boycott against it. This
matter is in an excellent way to be settled,
and the chances are very strong that the
Union Pacific will sign the committee
agreement within the next few days.

attorney to cross examine witnesses led to
the trouble to-day, and should the verdict
be against the defendants in the Debs case
it will play leading part in an appeal.
There are eighteen defendants in court,
represented in groups by six different at
torneys.
The line of defense between the officers
of the union and the lesser defendants, the
attorneys for the defense insist, is well
marked J. F. Geeting, who represents
several clients, besides appearing for two
others in the absence of Attorney Boyd,
for the court attempted to cross-examine a
witness in the morning and the court en-
deavored to enforce the rule, but later re-
Tented in order to permit Mr.. Geeting to
ask his questions because the witnesses
were testifying directly against some Of his
clients. Late in the afternoon Mr.. Geeting
desired to ask a question in cross-exam-
ination. The court declared that the wit
ness had in nowise testified as to the par
ticipation of Mr.. Geeting's client in the
acts named, and he would not allow more
than one attorney for the defense to cross
examine. A wordy argument followed,
but the court was infexible and an excep-
tion was taken.

NEG OTTATIo Ms FOR PEACE.
The japanese Pat Small Faith in the En-
cons of China.

Uoys of China.
TOXIC, Jan. 18.-To the Japanese Minis
ters of State the prospect of Mr.. Fosters
participation in the peace discussions is
extremely welcome. Some of them are
well acquainted with him and they all
know that man of his character would
not countenance any deceptive or dishonest
proceedings. 1t is expected, moreover that
he will be strongly opposed to unnecessary
delays. On the other hand it is con-
sidered not improbable that the Chinese
EN- bassadors may conceal many things
from their American counselor and that the
negotiations may be Intentionally compli-
Gated by methods which he cannot control.
The japanese are still incredulous as to
China's good faith, and have small hope
of practical results from this first inter
change of views. They believe, however,
that the visitors will carry reports to
Peking which must convince the Chinese
court of the futility of additional delay,
and that to this extent, at least, the con-
vention will be useful. For really serious
work the ENJOYS do not seem to have been
happily selected. Their rank and position
would undoubtedly be sufficient in western
COUNTRIES, DuI tley dTe HOb OF Jne nlSneSG
class in China, and would be disavowed
and discredited in moment if their Gov
ernment found it convenient to repudiate
them. This is a game that China has re-
peatedly played in past years. In almost
every important international transaction
she has begun by employing officials of
secondary grade, and has afterward re-
fused to be bound by their action. Only
when forced to appoint agents of too lofty
position to be ruthlessly sacrificed have
her pledges been sustained by the imperial
authority.
In the selection of the second Embassa-
dor China has shown a careleSsness which
argues i'll for her sincerity of purpose.
Shao Yu-lien is understood to be one of
the magistrates who, at the opening of the
war, offered rewards for Japanese heads.
The proclamations, signed with his name,
were freely circulated and their authen-
ticity has not been denied. 1t seems in
credible that he should be received as
representative of China while this charge

Immediately moved around from the
the tier of seats where Mr. Heard was To-
Gated and hot words followed. Breckin-
ridge protested against what he called Mr..
Heards rudeness. The latter declared he
was only doing his duty.
AS the voices of the gentlemen rose the
members began rushing thither.
"Impertinent puppyl' shouted Mr..
Breckinridge.
"Liar, hissed back Mr.. Heard.
At this word the white-haired Breckin-
ridge, who is a heavily built, stocky man,
put his foot on the step on which the
benches are located and let drive a right
hand blow at Heard.
Heard, who is slight and apparently
not strong but rather tall man with a
brown beard streaked with gray, lodged.
In an instant dozen hands were e1-
tended to separate the men and the men,
bers swept them twenty feet apart. But
Breckenridge continued to struggle and
wrestled with his captors, Pence and
Cultivate. The House and galleries were
in an uproar. Bedlam had broken loose.
Over it all the cracks of the Speakers gavel
sounded as he attempted to quell the riot
on the floor.
In firm tones the Speaker directed the
Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest the offenders.
Colonel Ike Hill, the deputy, and his as
sistant, Mr.. Robinson, grabbed the silver
mace, the emblem of the House authority,
and rushed up the aisle. 1t was crowded
with seething mass of members. When
they had elbowed their way to the scene of
combat Breckenridge was still struggling
with those who held him. His antagonist,
Heard, stood calmly in his place. Misun-
derstanding Pences attempt to quiet

aspen leaf with excitement, Colonel Hill
and his assistant seized both Breckenridge

Heard was pushed into the arms of the
Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms. AS the two
men came together Breckenridge made a
desperate effort to free himself
"You are a coward and scoundrel," he
yelled at Heard, but the stalwart Robin
son roughly pulled Breckinridge forward,
and the two Representatives of the Ameri-
can people were hustled, rather than es-
corted, to the bar of the House. The
Speaker ordered all to take their seats but
many of the members did so reluctantly.
''Take it back shouted Breckenridge,
as he glared at Heard, who stood, himself
in custody, before the bar.
"You called me an impertinent puppy"
answered Heard.
Meantime the Speaker was driving the
excited and frantic members back with
heavy blows of the gavel. Breckenridge
was appealing for recognition, but the
Speaker would not hear him. After all
members were seated he ordered Heard
and Breckinridge back to their seats, and
then recognized the Kentuckian. With
his frame trembling with excitement. his
silver hair tumbling back from his fore
head, Breckinridge arose attempting to re-

District of Columbia Committee. Mr.. Hit
of Illinois was attempting to pass reso-
luton calling on the President for CORE
spondence and all information at hand con-
corning the reported action of British sub
iects in melting riot and supplying Ha-
waiian rebels with arms and munitions of
war, and the story that the British Minis
ter had intervened to prevent their being
made subject to martial law.
Breckenridge, since his trouble with
Madeline Pollard, has been very sensitive
about the treatment of himself by his
fellow some of whom have
snubbed him. He is so sensitive that he is
always brooding over some fancied slight
on the part of his colleagues. He has been
anxious to make himself conspicuous in
debate recently, for he has Justly earned
his sobriquet of "Breckinridge the Elo-
quent." He tried several times to get
recognition to speak on Hits Hawaiian
resolution, but, as Heard was anxious to
proceed with District of Columbia legisla-
ton, Breckinridge found it hard to. get
any time allowed him in which to address
the House. He asked Heard several times
to give him time and not to press his
motion to consider district business.
Finally, in order to get rid of the
Hawaiian resolution, Heard, while Breck-
inridge was still trying to get recognition,
called for the previous question. This
would have had the effect of shutting
Breckenridge out, and he fancied that
Heard was not treating him with due
courtesy, and no doubt attributed Heard S
conduct tn HE Aaciro 10 h
count of the Pollard affair. Breckenridge
is fre-eater, and he resolved to give
Heard a dressing down.
Judge Mcguire has just gone to see HIT
and ask him not to press his resolution. as
as it might prevent any more time being
allowed for the consideration of the fund.-
ing bill, it being the understanding that
this measure should be given any time
left after district business was over with.
Mcguire was just leaving Hit, who was
standing near Heard and Breckenridge in
the main aisle in front of the Speaker
desk. He says: 81 had my back turned

epithets exchanged between Breckenridge

frantically toward Breckenridge, who was
striking at Heard"
1.-the Lafe Pence of Colorado bounded
like panther clear across the aisle and
onto Breckinridge's back, catching him by
the throat and dragging him nearly half
the length of the aisle, while Cultivate
caught him by one arm. McCreary of
Kentucky hurriedly felt Breckinridge's
coat and hip pockets for fear that his fell

to shoot or cut in Kentucky style. Mean

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA scene of the
widest and most intense excitement oc-
Cured in the House to-day at the conclu-
sion of the debate on Hits resolution,
growing out of personal difficulty be-
tween Breckenridge of Kentucky and
Heard of Missouri, in which epithets like
"impertinent puppy, " coward" "scoun-
drel" and "liar" were banded. One blow
was struck, when friends interposed and
the sergeant alarms arrested the two
offenders and brought them to the bar of
the House, when Mr.. Breckenridge in the
course of an explanation practically chal-
lenged Heard and demanded personal sat-
isfaction.
As well as the tangle of confused events
can be unraveled the encounter was in
this way: Mr.. Heard, who was in charge
of the District of Columbia business, cnt

to address the House on the Hawaiian
resolution by demanding the pre-
vious question on the adoption
of the resolution. Mr.. breckenridge
