German Makes a Strong Speech
Before the Senate.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
He Says That Facts are Kept Back
That Would Show Startling
Deficiencies.
Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. S1.-The critical
stage of the financial discussion was un-
expectedly precipitated In the senate
at late hour today Intermittent ref
erences had been made to the subject
throughout the day. but without def
mite form or purpose, and the senate
finally lapsed into discussion of the
District of Columbia appropriation bin
But the financial question arose Incl
dentally and finally at O'Clock German
launched a speech which proved to be
one Of the most effective he has deliv-
cred at the present session of congress.
He pointed out the gravity of the treas
ury situation, intimating that facts
were being held. and that an investiga-
tlon would show startling DEFICIENCIES.
He defended the senate against the
charges of impotency and declared he
had perfect faith that this great body
would do its full duty before congress
adjourned. He said the financial reme>
dy would, If necessary, be added as a
rider to an appropriation bill.
spurred on by the energy German
had suddenly injected into the question,
the senate at once proceeded to con,
slider and pass three important reso-
lutlons calling upon Secretary Carlisle
for information concerning every de-
tail bearing on the revenues. reserves,
deficiencies, etc.
A warm party debate occurred during
the day on the question of party ex-
trayagance, Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Platt,
and other Republican senator's assert
ing that the total appropriation for this
congress would reach $1,OO1, 100000, a
million in excess of the billion appro-
priated by the 51st congress.

A new telephone line is soon to be

An Astoria Enterprise Does Business
with Foreign Lands.

At the Astoria Iron Works are several
large cases, stoutly nailed, and marked
"Sun Yuen Lung, Hong Kong, China"
There is nothing particularly remark
able about their appearance, but the
address painted thereon with the or
dinary marking brush, led the reporter
to INQUIRE OF Manager Fox, what the
big boxes contained.
"They are to be shipped ON the Sig
nal tomorrow" said Mr.. Fox, "and
make up the third consignment of MAJ
dhinery that has been shipped by our
firm to the Orient. The cases contain
complete fruit canning outfit, and are
being shipped by the Sun Yuen Lung
Co., of this city"
About twenty-five men are now en-
ployed at the iron works, and while
business is not what it was few years
ago, Manager Fox saya that he has
great hopes for the future. He thinks
it altogether probable that they will
soon start to turn out the Jensen can
ming machinery, and considers the de-
cision of the court of appeals on the
can making machines a great victory
for Mr.. Jensen.
After leaving the iron works the re-
porter called at the store of the Sun
Yuen Lung Company on 9th street, and
IN conversation with Charlie Sing, a
member of the firm. and Go Fun, the
business manager, it was ascertained
that branch house of the Sun Yuen
Company is maintained in Hong Kong,
end that they intend going into the
fruit and oyster canning business In
that country quite extensively. Later
they will order more machinery from
the iron works for fish canning, there
being a variety Of fish in the waters
along the China coast that are much
relished by both Europeans and ma
tives. The Sun Yuen Lung Co. are
about the heaviest importers of Chinese
goods in the city. They also furnish la
borers for various canneries on the
coast, and in a years time their trans
actions are enormous.

Lowestoft, England, Jan. 31.--As far
as can be ascertained 374 passengers
and crew of the Elbe are missing. The
survivors number twenty-five. The Bit
terly cold weather prevailing and the
lack of news from along the coast
show there is little hope of any other
A lifeboat has been washed ashore near
Yarmouth. 1t is believed to be the
boat from which the fishing smack
Wildhower rescued the passengers who
escaped from the steamer after the
collision yesterday morning. The sur
vivors claim the unknown ship which
rammed and sunk the Elbe should have
stood by, and if she had done so, q
great many lives would have been
saved. This, of course, is a matter
which cannot be decided until all the
facts are brought to light by the court
of inquiry 1t is not yet definitely
established that the Crathie was the
offending steamer. There are people
believe the second steamer may have
foundered. The survivors say after the
collision the unknown steamer passed
under the stern of the Elbe and pro.
! ceeded on her course without paying
any heed to the cries Of the people on
board the sinking steamer.
Carl Hoffman, one of the cabin pas
| sengers of the Elbe, who was rescued
from a lifeboat of that vessel, says that
had the vessel which collided with the
steamer Elbe stood by the latterssteam-
er, the majority of the passengers and
crew might have been saved, for, ne
says, the Elbe remained perfectly
steady for many minutes after the col
lision before volume of water poured
into her and caused her to lurch. Sobs
shook the frame of the man as he
made the statement. He is a German
American about So years old, and was
on his way to Grand Island, Nebraska,
where his wife's parents live. Continu.
ing, Hoffman said:
"There was no confusion among the
passengers. They behaved well and
the only confusion was with the crew,
who tried to save themselves. It seems
strange to see that of the number
saved, there are fifteen of the crew.
But many more might have been saved.
Oh Godl My wife, my boy; both are
dead and 1 cannot so to their graves" "
