Views Of Politicians.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal Z
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Republican and
Democratic politicians look on the appoint
ment of Lyman j. Gage as secretary of
the treasury in McKinley's Cabinet as an
experiment. Partisan Republicans seem to
think it is of doubtful wisdom. but those
who are closest in the confidence of the
President-elect say the selection is the very
essence of political wisdom and the keenest
recognition of the fact that the last cam
paign was won more in behalf of the sub
stantial interests than of political issues
as the phrase is commonly understood
They say that the selection of Gage to
carry on the great business department of
the government is a pledge that Major
Mckinley Will endeaVor TO give the country
a clear. business-iike administration, a

STEAM YACHT STOVE in

Collision on the Mississsppi Near the
Gulf-Fretght Steamer Mo-
hawk Ashore.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2S.-At 1926 o'clock
this morning a collision occurred on the
river about twelve miles above the quar-
antine station between the steam yacht
Argo and the fruit steamship Albert Du-
mois, in which the yacht had her bow stove
in and sank within very few minutes aft
er the accident. The Dumois was inward
bound from Port Limon and the Argo was
bound down the river on her way to the
quarantine station to meet the steamship
Whitney, with the congressional commit
tee on board. On board the Argo were
three reporters of the Picayune-Messrs. II.
P Hester and f. Blassini, of the staff, and
an extra man, named A. c. Lindauer. Mr.
III. l.. Frantz. of New Orleans was a guest
"A crew of four men, commanded by Cap
tain James Brown. was in charge of the
craft and the vessel made excellent time
down the river running with an average
of fifteen miles an hour All in the cabin
had retired and nothing untoward occurred
until about 1890 o clock this morning, when
the Dumois was encountered coming up the
river. The Argo signaled for the right
and the Dumois answered b. two whis-
ties. or a signal that that vessel would take
the left-hand side. The Argo crashed into
the starboard low of the huge steamship
which had one of the plates bent, but the
Argo had her bow stove in and in a few
minutes sank. The captain and the crew
of the Argo lowered away a small dinlSey.

sengers only two Mr.. Frantz and Mr. Lin

The boat had barely left the side of the
vessel before the Argo plunged headfore-
most into the river. the stern standing up
high in the air. The Dumois failed to lower
away boat to go to the rescue of the
little yawl. which. overcrowded as she was
came very near swamping. After reaching
the deck of the Dumois it learned that
Messrs. Hester and Blassini were missing,
and. although the Durnois lay to fully an
hour in vain effort to learn something of
the missing men, they finally abandoned
the search and headed up the river. The
young men who are missing and whose fate
is doubtless sealed were well-known and
popular reporters on the Picayune Mr.
Hester was the of Mr. Henry G. Hes
ter, secretary of the Cotton Exchange in
this city, and the nephew of Mr.. c. Harri-
son Parker. Mr. Biassini was also well
known in the lower section Of the city.

At Bullionville.

The outlook at Bullionville is
quite favorable for an early resump-
ton of work there on the Peck
plant. The financial difficulties
under which j. E. Peck has labored
for the past ten months have been
overcome. His obligations here
abouts, which are not many, are to
be paid by New York parties, who
are to complete the plant, and have
arranged with Mr.. Peck to use his
process in treating the tailings.
Some of the claims are already
liquidated and machinery to COM
plete the works is enroute from
Chicago.
As the improvements and changes
about the works we're we'll along
when work stopped last winter it is
more than probable that the plant
will be completed and ready for
active operations before cold wealth
er sets in this fall and that steady
employment will be afforded to
forty or fifty men.
