What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to

What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to
the Bottom Of the Sea.
What becomes Of the ship that sinks
in midocean? II il is of wood. it takes,
in the first place, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In 100 or more
fathoms OF water a quarter of an hour
will elapse before the ship reaches bot
tom. 1t sinks slowly, and, when the bot
tom is reached, it falls gently into the
soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing.
OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or il it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces. Once sunken, a
ship becomes the prey Of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They warm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be.
sides this they cover every inch of the
boat with a thick layer of lime. This
takes time, Of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work, until finally the ship is SO laden
with heavy incrustations, corals,
ID barnacles that, if wood, the creak.
ing timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood. which may
last for centuries. The only metals that
Withstand the chemical action of the
waves are gold and platinum. and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in the ocean,
1t will always be gold when recovered,

Pierre. Feb. I9.-An informal re-
ception was rendered Senator Kyle
this evening in the rooms OF the
Teton club. Major Picker aad
other Republican leaders spoke al
repudiating the idea that there had
been any barter and sale. Senator
KYLE was then called upon and
spoke briefly, defending his position
He said that for years he had been a
Republican, but that he had certain
positive convictions upon certain
economic questions more nearly ex-
pressed in the populist platform (;
that the country had spoken upon
the tariff question, and he was will
ing to vote for a Republican tariff
measure, and that he would In no
way be an obstructionist. He said
that he expected to occupy the same
position that he would have done
had he been elected entirely by pop
ulist votes. He denied bat there
was any bargain /; that the Repub-
lican steering committee had come
to him and he had defined his po-
sition on the various questions as he
had to his hearers tonight, and that
upon this statement they had de-
cided to support him. In closing he
said he would endeavor to vote in
the senate for the best interests of
his Republican constituents, which
confirms the outline given last night
that Mr.. Kyle would be to all prac-
teal intents and purposes a Repub-
lican in everything but name. The
crowd of Republicans are satisfied
with his statement, but the populists
are still unreconciled. AS a matter
of fact, it is one of the most notable
instances of snatching victory from
defeat known in recent political his
tory.
The sinkers' great effort last night
to read Senator Kyle out of the pop
ulist party and to brand him as
traitor to that party has fallen fiat.
The meeting was attended by only
a few and straight pops and demo-
Gratis, though chagrined at the scoop
perpetrated by Republicans, gener-
ally admit that the matter was en-
tirely honorable on the part of SEN
ator Kyle. Sinkers are still wild
with wrath and are talking of getting
up Indignation meetings and stirring
up pops against the senator. This
effort is confined to the governor,
Loucks, Goodykoontz, and the clique
which has waged so venomous a
fight on Kyle.

move that has been made on the
political chess-board for many a
day. On the othe hand, the ma
iorlty party with ali the power to
elect in their hands carried on q
war OF recrimInation and extermin
alton, ending by allowing the OPP
position to carry off the prize.
Lulled into a sense of security by
the loyalty with which the Repub
llcans stood by their candidate,
they seemed to have no knowledge
of the move about to be made, and
CONSERVATION reignet. in their camp
when they foun that they had
been outwitted and outplayed But
nc sympathy is expressed for them
and the average citizen expresses
satisfaction at the termination of
their shameful wrangle for spoils.
No political event of late years
has contained as much significance
as this. 1t means the final down
fall Of Pettigrewism the disin
tegratlon Of the popuIist party,
the end Of fusion aud the over
whelming triumph Of the Republic
can party two yeats hence. 1t
means that the bightr 2 power of
P ttigrewism has done for the pop
ulist what it threatened for The
Republican party, Il All
this does not turn on the mere fact
that KYLE is senator, but the pops
have shown to the people OF the
state that they can neither govern
themselves nor handle the affairs Of
state. Instead of gracefully accept
ing the inevitable and trying to
make the best of "A bad deal, they
commit the further folly Of repu
dating and reading.out of the
party Mr., Kyle and his following
The new senator has p.enty of just
lication in severing party ties, and
beyond a doubt will be found IN
the forthcoming extra session OF
congress voting with the Republl
cans to organize the senate and { r
the passage OF u protective tariff.
His vote will most likely determine
the complexion of the United States
senate, and his election by the
Republicans is a most surprising
case OF plucking victory out OF the
jaws Of defeat. Pettigrew cost the
Republican party a senator six
years ago ; TODAY, he has cost the
populist party the same. They
have u Pettigrew +; we have

The battle of the popnlist fac

the Republicans rallying to the
support of James III. KYLE, return

A dispatch from Washington
dated the 18th inst, states that
should the free homes bill pass the
house it will certainly be vetoed by
the president acting upon the rec
ommendation OF the secretary of the
interior. This would be a hard blow

reservations. But there is another
