two more in quick succession, which was the
signal to get the boats ready. The ship was on
her beams end and got out on the outside of
the ship, and while there heavy wind came
and blew the deckhouses right OF the ship; l
saw that myself. saw the whole deck blown
off the ship myself; mean the houses, boats
and all.
When I got into the water the water was
filled with wreckage of the Lighthouses that
had been blown right out of the ship. I tried
TO get piece of lumber from the deckload
that was on board, but / could not do so, be-
cause it was fast. The lumber was laid just as
it was originally slowed.
''Did the chief engineer say what he wanted
these coal passers for?"
''The chief engineer sent for the coal-passers
in order to have the tools put away-those
that had got adrift in the storeroom. r"
'fWas the chief engineer nervous at all?'
0No sir: quiet as can be; not even scared
when he saw the water on deck. He just SIM
ply said shut this door, shut that door, etc."
''It blew the worst hurricane I ever saw after
we got into the water. If we had not had the Sec
ond hurricane more people would have been
saved"
"Did you hear anything about the cargo of
that ship being badly slowed ?''
NO. sir; further, before l came on deck
stood at the door of the fireroom and saw the
coal there and there was no sign of its shift

what do you think was the cause of this
ship going down ?"

blow the hurricane deckhouses and all right
up into the air. 1t was regular hurricane in

years experience at sea I never saw so heavy
a sea or so violent wind as at this time"

Representative Phillips Of Pennsylvania
said today before leaving for home that

ing the appointment of non.partisan COM
mission to collate and to consider and
recommend legislation to meet the prob
lens presented by labor. agriculture and
capital He win urge the bill in the House
and Senator Perkins of California will in
troduce 1t in the Senate.
Mr.. Phillips bill was unanimously re-
ported by the House and Senate commit
tees having charge of labor matters, and it
Is said that only the shortness of the ses-
sion prevented action upon the bill by both
houses of Congress. In the closing days
OF the session a petition was presented to
Speaker Crisp signed by 200 members of
the House asking him to recognize Mr..
Phillips, to suspend the rules and pass the
bill. but the pressure Of other business was
too strong.
The bill authorizes the President to ap-
point a non-partfsan Industrial commission
of fifteen members, who shall in turn select
six additional members. the whole to sit

Question Asked in the House Of
Commons.
WHAT WILL TEE UNITED STATES DO?
The English Government Unable to
Say.
Discomfort IN CANADA

LONDON, March 7-Sir Richard Web
ster, member for the Isle Of Wight division
of Hampshire and one Of the British coun-
sci before the Boring sea tribunal Of ar
bitration, in the house Of commons today
questioned the government In regard to
the negotiations for a settlement with the
United States of the British sealers' claims
for seizure prior to the arbitration pro-
ceedings.
He pointed out that the award Of the
tribunal was adverse to the United States,
The Only point unsettled being the amount
Uf compensation. and that Canada had
agreed to the sum she was willing to ac-
cept in full payment Of her claims. Con-
sequertly Sir Richard Webster asked
whether, in view Of the great and growing
discomfort in Canada, the government
proposes to take any (and II so, WHAT
steps to settle the dispute. either by OBJ
tanning the payment by the United States
of tho agreed amounts. or. II necessary. by
arbitration.
In addition. Sir George Baden-Powell.
NJ. p, and one of the British commission
ers on the Boring sea tribunal, asked what
conditions were attached to the agreement
to enable the award to be carried out In
the event OF any failure upon the part of
the United States Congress to appropriate
the necessary moneys, and In the event of
the United States government not being
In position to pay the sum for some time
to come. whether her majesty's govern
ment would take steps to advance said sum
to the sealers, many of whom were in Sc
rious want, owing to the ong-deferred
payment Of their acknowledged claims for
just compensation.
Replying to these questions, Sir Edward
Grey, parliamentary secretary to the for
eign office, said that Canada had agreed to
accept lump sum of $425,OOO from the
United States in settlement of all claims
But as yet the money had not been paid.
No representations. however, had been
received from Canada on the subject Of the
refusal of the American Congress to agree
to the appropriations, but the delay in the
payment of the claims must necessarily be
felt, and must be the cause of disappoint-
ment and loss.
Sir Edward Grey added that the nego-
tiatfons which were originally In progress
respecting all claims Of British subjects
for injuries sustained at the hands of
United States cruisers were suspended
when the United States offered the pay
ment of lump sum.
The secretary of foreign affairs, Gresham,
had expressed inch regret at the un-
fortunate delay that had taken place in
the discharging Of the obligations Of the
United States.

AUDITOR MORTON.
Stories ms to His Removal and Trans:
fer From the Navy Department..


fer From the Navy Department.
Various stories are afioat in the Treasury
Department concerning Mr.. Chas. B. Nor
ton, auditor for the Navy Department. One
is that he is to be removed and another is
that he is to be transferred to another Of
flee equally as good as the one he holds.
The removal story is based on allegations
that he has gone out Of his way to criti-
else the President and Secretary Carlisle
on questions of public policy. One Of these
allegations is that he has made verbal
statements rejecting upon the integrity Of
the high officials mentioned. 1t Is said
that the matter was reported to the Pres
ident several weeks ago. but that he Is
not yet prepared to take cogniZance of 1t.
The transfer story originated in report
that Auditor Morton has made himself
personally distasteful to the officials of the
Navy Department and that in consequence
the business of the Office is embarrassed.
Mr.. Morton is weil-known politician of
Maine. He was commissioner of naviga-
ton under Cleveland's first administration
and he received his present commission
from President Cleveland. He says he
knows of no trouble in his office and is
not aware that he is in danger of removal.
If any action IS taken in this case 1t will
not be until the President returns from
his ducking expedition.

Speculation in Sugar Was Large
and Lively.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 7.-Openlng prices
this morning were about on a parity with
those recorded at the close Of yesterdays
business. There were no stocks pressing
for sale and the room element seemed op-
posed to declaring preference for either
side of the market. Dizziness, with a mark
ed tendency toward irregularity, was the
natural outcome Of such conditions.
The trading in Sugar was large in volume
and extremely cratic in purpose. On
early trading the price advanced steadily
for a gain of l per cent, but reacted on
selling for both accounts for a net loss OF
1 IL per cent making the price 81 Ia.
The meeting of directors during the early
decline was brought tc an abrupt termina-
ton and a strong buying movement in
augurated. which forced the price up to
"a 10. In this latter movement the vol
ume of business was larger than that re-
Gently accorded any stock on the list.
If the tape may be relied upon. and as a
rule no evidence is more accurate, the next
dividend in Sugar common will be at the
usual rate of II per cent per annum- 1t Is
probable that an effort viii be made to
show that the money thus distributed to
shareholders was not earned during the
last quarter, and that the surplus of the
company mas been depleted to the extent
of the disbursement
The object Of such showing will be
readily and correctly Interpreted by those
in any way familiar with the process of
manipulation. National Lead was in mod
crate demand, and gained IL per cent
from opening figures in consequence. Dis
tilIers yielded SO per cent on realizing
sales during the morning, but regained the
greater part of the loss later In the day.
In the railway list prices. in many in
stances, were permitted to prevail within
narrow fractional limits OF those first
quoted. New York Central was weak, at
a reduction of IL per cent, due largely to
professional trading. New Jersey Central
was marked up 1-2 per cent on covering
and some buying in anticipation Of i'm
portant favorable developments in the I'M
thrIcite coal trade.
The advance was short-lived. however.
rs advantage was taken of the higher
level to put out new lines of short stock,
the price yielding 1 per cent during the
process.
Mania ttan gained / Ia per cent on a
fair volume Of business attributed to the
investment account. Baltimore and Ohio
opened off Y per cent, and sold down to
point brokers conspicuous among recent
sellers were active In buying back their
stock. the price advancing IA per cent
in consequence.
In the last hour the announcement that
the regular per cent quarterly dividend
had been declared on Sugar, payable April
to stockholders of record March "A, caus-
ed a reaction of 1 per cent Realizing
sales were soon discontinued, however, and
on renewed buying the price was forced up
to the highest point of the day. In the
opinion of many a large short interest Is
being formed at the advance.

BAD NIckELs IN BALTIMORE.

Specimen COdnteFfeits Examined Mt
:. the Treasury Today.
Reports have reached the Treasury De-
partment that a new and dangerous coun-
terfeit scent piece Is In extensive circula-
ton In Baltimore, and an officer Of the
secret service has been sent to that city to
make thorough investigation. The sub
treasurer at Baltimore has sent one of the
spurious coins to the chief Of the secret
service, and 1t was closely examined today.
The counterfeits are of excellent workman
pert handler of coins.
The spurious coins are both the old and
new ISSUE Some of them contain the figure
8 on the reverse side and are known as the
old issue. Others have the letter on the
reverse side and are designated as the new
issue. The new issue Is somewhat larger
In size than the old. The coins are bright
but close inspection reveals q dull lead
color between the engraved lines. This
Will only be noticed on close inspection and
affords the most accurate way OF detecting
the character Of the coins.
1t Is reported that the street car compa-
MES Of the monumental city are the great
est sufferers so far from these counterfeits
These companies make daily deposits at
the subtreasury, and have the small coins
which are received for fares exchanged for
notes. OF late many of these counterfeits
They naturally lose in this way, inasmuch
as they have no means of tracing the
source Of the coins The spurious coins be-
fore being returned are branded as bad"
and consequently can do no further mis-
chief.
Other houses whose business entails the
extensive use of minor coin are also said
to have been victfmized by the new coun-
terfeit. The subtraasrrer at Baltimore has
expressed the opinion that these spurious
nlckeis were made In that city, and that
they have been put In circulation gradually
for several weeks past.
The officials Of the Treasury Department
say that there Is not much danger to be
apprehended from this latest counterfeit,
and that its circulation has been undoubt-
eddy exaggerated. None of them has
reached this ,city SO far as known, and,
certainly none has been presented at the
treasury cash room. where the street rail-
road companies make daily exchanges of
minor coin for notes. The United States
treasurer says the only counterfeit nickeis
he has seen are the poorest kinds Of imita-
ton, which no one would accept as genu-
inc. and even these are seldom seen In the
ordinary course of business
