luton was adopted, also a resolution

WRECK OF THE POTRIMPOS
The Fourth Disaster on the Pacific Park
Beach
The Crew Saved and the Vessel May
Be Floated Unless Rough Weather
Should Set In

ASTORIA, Ore, Dec. 1s.-The German
bark Potrimpos. Captain Hellwege, in
ballast from Manzanillo, Mexico to the
Columbia river, stranded at 7:3 o'clock
this morning at Pacific Park, about six
miles north of Ilwaco. Wash, close to
the spot where the Strathblane went
ashore In 1891
This was the fourth vessel to go ashore
on this beach during the year. Her Of
all were saved by the Ilwaco beach life
saving cew, who arrived on the scene
promptly after the disaster occurred
Just before their arrival, however, six
sailors from the vessel landed In one of
the ships boats. The ship is in good
condition, having received no serious
injury while crossing through the surf
She now lies so high on the beach that
at half tide person can walk to her
without wetting his feet.
According to the captains story, at
daybreak this morning he sighted land
and was on the lookout for a pilot or tug,
but the vessel soon became helpless and
drifted on shore. The ship lies broad
side on the beach, high and dry, but II
work Is commenced Immediately and ar.
rangements made so that lines can be
pansed out to a tug. It Is thought she
can be safely pulled off at the next higl
tide, which occurs on the cath inst.
Her crew and officers have come
ashore and the captain will stay by her
until some definite plans have been
agreed upon.
The Cape Disappointment life-saving
crew also left for the scene Of the wreck
on q special train, but arrived too late
to assist In landing the crew.
About o'clock the Spreckels tug Re
lief went around to the scene of the
wreck and will make efforts to float the
vessel However, In the opinion of old
tug men and pilots Of this city, 1t will
be almost impossible for the tug to ac-
complish anything. They cannot get
near enough to the wrecked vessel to put
line aboard without going ashore her
self.
This ship, with the Point Iona
Glenmorag and zenita, makes the fourth
to be wrecked on the beach north of the
mouth Of the Columbia in 1896. The
Zenita is the only one so far rescued.

Senate Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-TheNnavaI
appropriation bill was passed to-day
by the House without substantial
amendments. An effort was made by
the advocates for larger inoreass of
the navy than was authorized by the
bill to increase the number of battle
ships from four to six, but the House,
by large majority, stood by the re-
commentator OF the com mistee, the
proposition for six bastleships muster
ing but 80 votes against 1874. The bill
as passed carries s3i,611, 034. and au-
thorizes the construction of four battle
ships and fifteen torpedo boats, the
total cost of which will be in the
neighborhood of Ss5. o00. 600.
Senate Proceedings.
WARRINGTON, March 26.-The Senate
spent moss Of the day on the Legislative

sion with the Senate conference com.
mittee on the Cuban question to-day OF
less than half On hours duration the
House conferees agreed TO accept the
Senate resolutions. The conference to.
day WAS merely formal in character, as
this conclusion wss practically reached
At yesterdays meeting. This action
Will have the effect of taking the ques-
tion entirely out of the Senate and of
transferring all further discussion on
the Cuban question TO the House.
The Senate resolutions recognize q
state OF war rs existing in Cuba. and
declare that the United States should
observe strict neutrality between the
contending parties and accord to each
all the rights of belligerents in the.
ports and territory of the United States.
They also say the United States should
offer its friendly offices, through the
President, to the Spanish government
for the recognition OF the independence
of Cuba.
The House copterees were reluosans
/ 20 give up their resolutions but they
were informed by the Senate conferees
that the only course by which resolu.
tions could be agreed upon by both
houses was one which would shut off
the Senate from more debate.
These representations prevailed upon
the representatives of the House to ac-
cept the Senate declaration, Under
the arrangement reached the Senate
conferees will report she agreement to
the Senate and the question will be
closed. so far as 1t concerns that BODY.
The House conferees will repors to the
