CRAWLED INTO PORT.
Two Vessels Which Had Varied Ex-
periences.

New York, Jan. 27.-Two Anchor
liners long overdue crawled into port
yesterday. Both were from the Medi-
terranean. One was the Karamania
which left Gibraltar Dec. 81, and the
other the Elysia, which came out jan
5. Both met Arctic wealth ar and thun-
dering waves.
The Karamania's bows were bulging
with ice and her decks covered with
snow, while her derricks and ventilat-
orS were white with frost.
The Elysia, which had 273 steerage
passengers, met west and north hur-
ricane Jan. %. water spout was

moved mile to the southwark of the
Elysia and burst with a deafening in

Senatorial Splinters.

Mayor Spencer of Ogden and Editor
White of the ogden Press were visi-
tors at Henderson headquarters last
evening, and assured the boys that
their candidate would win.

Judge Hart and Professor Kerr came
down from Logan last evening, and
upon their arrival went different ways,
the former paying his respects to the
Thatcher camp and the latter repairing

The Republican members have now
balloted for George NJ. Cannon for two
days, which leads to the belief that
they have exhausted their list of party
leaders who deserve a complimentary
vote. Arthur L. Thomas was balloted
for but one day. Why is one candidate
given this important advantage over
another?

Representative Sorensen is expected
to return from Moab this evening. He

Thin people find it hard to digest their food.
Fatty foods make it still harder

California Ice Caves.

In Modoo County, California, is an inn
mense field of lava covered in places with
beautiful forest of conifers, inhabited
by deer, bear, panther, lynx, coyote,
porcupine andinumerous fur bearing ami
mails whose pelts are of value to the trap
per. it was in these lava eds that the
Modoc Indians made their stand against
the Government troops some years ago,
and were with great difficulty destroyed.
1t is here that the ice caves are found, and
from them the Modocs drew their water
supply while beseigef by the troops. The
caves scattered throughout these A lava
beds are of very varying shapes and di-
mansions. Some are mere covert ways
with an arch of stone thrown over them.
Others are immense chambers some yards
from the surface, another kind are sunk
quite deeply, and may be 10 a series OF
cham bers united by corridor that opens
at the surface, while another kind seems
to go directly to the centre of the earth
without stopping.
1t is here that the stores of ice are
found, which is formed from water that
filters in annually from the melting
SHOWS above. Every winter the lava
beds are covered with a fall of snow
which varies from two to ten feet in
depth. The temperature over this
region in the coolest weather is often
twenty or more degrees below zero, so
that any water that might be in the
caves is frozen solid, unless the caves
mouths. should be entirely covered with
snow, which is not often the cass. Now,
when spring comes and the STOW melts,
the water percolates th.c:=eh into the
cold storage ohambe beneath, and it is
there. CONCEALED by the prevailing cold.
ItSis in this way ethat the flee has been
made aud stored for years, and were the
caves accessible to market they would
furnish the puress of ice to many cite
for years to come.-Popular Science

THE DEBTS OF NATIONS.
The United States Was Sixth in the List of
1895
lFrom the New Times.l

Everyone takes an interest In his coun-
try's indebtedness and the proportion OF
it that he has to bear.
In considering the debts of the nations OF
the world it is pleasing to know that,
with the exception Of the Germans,
Americans pay less per capita per annum
than any other people-45 cents, about
Is. Cd.
In estimating the indebtedness of the
nations pounds sterling being used for
simplicity of statementl the United
States in 1875 was third, with debt OF
e44O, 600, 600 and in 1895 was sixth, with
a debt of $3.50, 600, 000-France and ssGreat
Britain having greater debts in 1875, and
France, Great Britain, Austria Hungary,
Russia and Italy in 1895.
Although the United States, Great
Britain, Spain and Germany have made
substantial reductions in their debts dur
ing the last twenty years, the debts OF
the other nations of the world have been
growing. Taking the fourteen nations
that in 1875 owed 100000, 900 or over,
their aggregate estimated Indebtedness
