FILIBUsrEl,lNG TACTICS
May be Employed to Prevent Financial
Liquidation In tho Senate

Legislation In tho Senate.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 3l.-To.
days brief tilibuster in the senate,
which was precipita!ed by Senator
Chaudler's motion to declare the seat
OF Senator Martin. Of Kansas. vacant,
was tho beginning OF the tactics which
some OF the Republican senators have
decided upon for tho purpose OF delay
ing legislation and ia so recognized BY
the Democrats and so confessed By
some OF the Republicans. Whether the
policy will be persisted in by frequent
demonstrations like that made to-day,
according to the best information OBJ
tainabie, will depend upon whether the
appropriation bills make as slow pro.
gress as shall comport with tho ideas OF
the Republican senators who advocate
the policy OF obstructiug legislation by
the Democrats. 5.3,g,
Senator Chandler, when asked for an
explanation OF the meaning OF tho reso.
luton, replied: "We mean to get Mar.
tin out, II we can. and after that Ia. ac-
complished 10 got Roach unsea,ed ani
have Republicans elected in their
places. With this done and with tho
now Wyoming and Montana Republican
senutors seated. and with the Washing
ton vacancy filled by Republican,. we
will not only have the Democrats in a
minority but We will come near having
a Republican majority. We shall thon
be in shape to bring rclict to the coun.
try by settling the financial problem
which the Democrats have shown thcm-
solves incapable OF doing whilo in tho
majority" ~
Mr. Chandler declared himself in
earnest.
Senator Faulkner did not regard the
filibuster as serious matter and said
that 1t was intondcd to temporarily, de-.
lay matters until the Democrats should
announce their order oil business which
would be done soon.

Tho captain Of tho fishing rmack
Wildhower, which picked up tho sur.
vivors Of tho Elbo, said In nm interview;
"Thc Wildnowcr was eaat.southenst of
Lowestoft with our trawlng gear down
at II d. m. Wednesday, whom we sight.
cd ships boat with something llutter-
ing from its mast could geo water
breaking into tho boat. When we got
near enough We threw them a ropes
end, but tho men In tho boat were 30
benumbed with tho cold that
thoy could not hold on to Il.
We finally made fast to them,
thon hauled tho boat up TO
tho smack. Whom half Of tho persons
rescued had jumped on board the rope
parted and the remainder Of them were
again adrift Ia heavy sen. After much
difficulty another limo was made fast to
tho boat and all on board Of her wero
taken aboard tho Wudfower. There
was woman lying In tho bottom Of the
boat with long coat on and no shoes
on her feot. She had no dress beneath
the coat, and was terribly cold. | am
sure that in another hour several Of the,
persons wo rescued would have been
frozen stia."
MISS BuEcKSER's STORY.
In converaation with the corrcspon.
dent OF the Associated Presa this alter.
noon, Misu Bueckner said:
~ can't remember feeling afraid after
the collision. What l felt when | came
on deck was tho terrible cold. and
another lady kept on the port side OF
the ship, which was the lee side. The
majority oil the passengers crowded to
tho s.ai iboard side, over which high
wind was raging. I do not know who
ordered them there; did not hear the
captain give any order. But, the officers
did their best to reasaure us. saying
that there was plenty Of room for every.
one In the boat"
On behalf Of the board OF trade this
afternoon, q preliminary inquiry was
held here into the sinking OF the Elbe.
The surviving officers Of that steamship
were Questioned by the chief officer Of
tho custom house. They said in sub.
stance:
''The Elbe was proceeding, on q 4. S.
". courae. down channel. uteaming
about fifteen knots. When about forty
five miles of Terschelling iiQhtship, n
vessel was seen approaching two and
half points of tho port bow. This
vessels course was apparently W. n. W.
According TO the rule OF the road at
sea. the vessel should have ported her
helm and passed under the Elbe's stern.
Both vessels. however, kept their
courses and struck. The shock OF the
conclusion was very slight"
Miss Anna Bueckuer, tho lady sur
vivor OF the Elbe, Is the heroine OF the
hour. She 10 bssieged with visitors
anxious to provide her with money and
clothing.

THE CITY HALL DOME.
Complaint Made Against the Riveting
Work of the Contrac-
tors.

There is friction between the City Hall
Commission and O'Connell & Lewis, the
contractors for the building of the dome.
AT the meeting of the commission this fact
was pretty well set forth. City Attorney
Creswell complained that there was lack
of courtesy on the part of the contractors
toward the commission.
The contractors had been treated with
especial consideration in the matter of ex-
tension, and if the present state of affairs
continued Mr.. Creswell said he would be
compelled to vote against any further ex-
tensions.
The attorney also stated that the con-
tractors were not riveting the iron work on
the dome.
A communication was read from the
Brotherhood of Boiler-makers and IRON
ship Builders on this same point. 1t was
stated that the bolts did not fill the holes,
and consequently became loose, rusty and
worthless. The communication urged that
the rivets be driven hot. In that case they
would fill the holes and rust could not
affect them.
Mayor Sutro stated that f. Marion Wells
had submitted a sample of the white metal
which he proposed to use in casting the
statuary for the dome 1t was composed
of 10 per cent of zinc and per cent of an
timony. Tin was not an ingredient and
the material was considered very brittle.
1t was agreed that something more sub
stantial would be necessary.
