WASHINGTON. ID. c., March 23.-Spc-

IS being congratulated by his colleagues

a REPLY TO DOLLIVER.
His speech. coming as a reply to that

ing because Mr.. DolliVer went TO even
greater extremes than any OF his col
leagues have done IN the way OF at
tributing every evil from which the coun-
try suffered to the present tarin law.
IL is unfortunate for the Democratic
contention that the representatives OF
Swanson. feel called upon 10 answer the
statements OF the Republicans concern
ing the causes OF business depression by
attributing II solely to the fact that the
country has adhered 10 a sound-money
standard.
To this extent both parties base their
conclusions upon untenablc propositions
While the Republicans hold that legis-
lation TO Increase taxation and limit pro-
duction will create wealth and restore
prosperity the Democrats argue that
these results can be effected only by
legislation increasing the supply OF
money. but diminishing it's value.

The Niagara Lost Her Ruddsr and was
Helpless Two Days.


CHARLESTON. 5. c., March 3.-The
Ward Line steamer Niagara, Captain
Cracker was towed TO Charleston bar
this morning She had lost her rudder,
and her passengers had spent an anxious
week abroad OF her at sea. Aboard ot
her were nfty-tWO passengers, most OF
whom were tourists bound from Nassau
to New York. The ship left the former
place az noon March 18Th. In addition TO
her passengers, she carried Il cargo OF
sugar. tobacco, and hides.
Her voyage North was uneventtu till
last Thursday. Captain Cracker then
suddenly discovered that she failed TO
respond to her rudder, and, on inyesti-
cation. discovered the rudder TO be bent
and broken. Not the least clue could
be discovered as to when or how the
accident happened. \ jury rudder was
rlgCed. and the Niagara attempted 10
cOntiue her voyage. but without much
success. Thursday night the vessel lay
10 trying 10 keep her head 10 TO a heaVy
sea that was running.
Friday morning the British steamer
Cairnosla. bound from Sapeno TO
Rotterdam was sighted and asked for
aid. 4 hawser was payed out 10 The
Niagara, and a towing trip Of two hun
tfti miles WIS DtEuis ut s'etf s''f "''
getting heavy, and the first hawser
soon parted. leaving the Niagara in a
helpless condition for several hours. Her
jury rudder was Of very little service and
more than once she was caught In the
hollow Of big waves. rolling so badly as
20 greatly excite the fears OF her pas
sengers. Saturday another hawser was
passed 10 her by the Cairnesla, this time
the rope held. The two ships dropped
anchor off Charleston this morning. The
Niagara Will be towed into port to-mor-
row. when her passengers will be for
warded North by rail. The passengers
on the Niagara are an very comfortably
ouartered aboard the Niagara tonight.
The officers Of the ship continue 10 pro-
test that they have not the least knowl-
edge Of how the accident 10 the Niagara s
rudder occurred Some Of them expressed
the belief that the rudder had been tam
pered with before the ship left Nassau,
but no cause for their opinion Is assigned.
The Niagara will remain here until an
ocean tug Is sent here TO tow her to New
York.
