SECRETARY SHERMAN
 HAS NOT RESIGNED.
Although Suffering From a Bad Cold He Will Soon Resume His
 Official Duties

NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary sherman is confined to his home suffer- ing from severe cold. His physician. pr. Frank Hyatt. told me his condition is by no means serious. He confidently expects that the Secretary will be able to take up his work at the department again in very few days Mrs Sherman tonight denied emphatically the report that the Secretary has resigned from the Cabinet, and said that he entertains no intention of doing so at present She de- clares that there is no foundation what ever for the rumor. It is also stated at the White House and at the State De- partment that the Secretary is not known to contemplate withdrawing from the Cabinet at this time.

6 WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - Q Q Representative Hilborn to-day Q 6 introduced in the House of Rep {" 6 resentatives his resolution dl- :" q recting the Committee on Mill :" 6 tary Affairs to make an 1nvesti- @ e gation into the matter of defec- e 6 tive shrapnel furnished to the e e army by private contractors. " e This matter is creating great @ 6 interest in army and navy cir e e cles and in Congressional cir e Q cles as we'll. Copies of The Call @ 6 containing accounts of the fail Q 6 ure of the shrapnel at the Pre- e 6 sidio have been brought to the Q 6 attention of Congressman and |" 6 army officers.
 Members of Congress believe it to. be a very serious matter and are in favor of an investigation. Congressman Hil- born said to The Call correspondent tonight "The results of the tests of the shrapnel at the Presidio.. when 50 per cent of the ammunition was found to be unserviceable. cannot be passed by without notice. It is too serious a matter. It is true that war is not im- minent, but in time of peace prepare for war And in no way can we pre- pare for war more effectually than by deyisine means for certain delivery of nerfect ammunition and stores in case of war.
 "It appears that we have purchased and paid for a considerable amount of
 s1I, ic means either that the inspection by our army experts was faulty, at the time of delivery, or that the material has deteriorated in very brief period so as to become useless. In either case there should be a thorough investiga- ton. If the army officers are careless in making tests of material received from contractors they should be taught to be more vigilant, and if the ammu- milton we are accepting is manufac- tured according to a faulty formula and lacks stability so that it becomes worthless in a few years we should know that also. If war comes we do not want to be in the condition in which France found herself when her war with Germany commenced. Her army marched to slaughter instead of war because of the insufficiency of the war material furnished by dishonest contractors.
 Whenever practicable the Govern ment itself should manufacture it's war material Then there will be no temptation to furnish unserviceable ammunition. The cost may be little more. but it will pay in the end. We recognize this in the manufacture of our navy guns and make them at our ordnance shop in Washington, with our own skilled men. They are not only the best guns Tn the world of their kind. but they are made so cheaply that no private contractor thinks of competing for the work.
 "In the matter of powder our posi- tion is peculiar When we used the old black and brown powders made of sal peter. sulphur and charcoal. the Gov

THE STEAMER CLARA NEVADA.

SEATTLE, Feb. 14-Meager details on the loss of the steel steamer Clara Nevada have been received here from Nanaimo, B. c. The Clara Nevada left skaguay for Juneau on her home trip So Seattle, and when off Seward City, n Berner Bay, about thirty miles south of skaguay. she was seen by the resi- dents of Seward City to be all ablaze, 9 mass of hungry flames. While the fohg wharf at Berner Bay was crowd ed with spectators of the awful scene. a loud report was heard, which re- sembled the explosion of boilers. and nothing more was seen of the ill-fated steamer.
 It is feared the unfortunate forty passengers and the entire crew are lost as no trace could be found of them along the beach of Berner Bay. The sea was rough and a furious gale was blowing It is thought the vessel was trying to make Berner Bay for shell ter.
 The steamer Islander, for Victoria, called to-day at Union, whence Captain Irving telegraphed the news of the dis aster. He sent word that the Clara Ne vada was reported to have been on fire and to have disappeared after a great explosion on board in the neighbcrhood of Steward, fifty miles north of Juneau.
 The beach in the vicinity of Seward is strewn with wreckage. freshly paint ed like the woodwork of the Clara Ne vada. This wreckage was seen by Cap tain Thomas Latham of the steamship Coleman, lately at Juneau from Skag- uay.
 On the evening of February George Beck and wife of Seward City saw a small steamer proceeding slowly against a head wind well out in the channel, and while they watched it's efforts to make headway the vessel broke out into flames. This vessel was unouestionably the Clara Nevada. The sea was very rough. so that those on hoard would have had very littlec chance to make shore anywhere in boats. The fire was seen by many other residents of Steward City.
 This was the first trip of the Clara Nevada, and she was due to leave Seattle last Saturday on her second +rip with all berths sold. The steamer Rustler had left for the scene. but no report from her is obtainable.
 The Clara Nevada was formerly the steamer Hassler of the United States Coast Survey Service, and was sold last August to Mcclure Bros. of this city. who refurnished and overhauled her for the Alaska trade. She was on her way from Skaguay to Juneau and had forty passengers on board. She was a three-masted schooner, rigged without gaffs. She was of 319 tons bur den. 154 feet long, 24 feet beam and 10 feet deep depth. She was built in 1872 at Camden, N J. When inspected the boilers of the Clara Nevada stood a cold water pressure of 146 pounds, equal to 200 pounds steam pressure. She had a steel hull fitted with five transverse air-tight bulkheads. She cost the McGuires $15,O00 and they spent s15,O more on her alterations. She was considered entirely seaworthy and was given a first-class rating.
 In the reports of the loss of the Clara Nevada it is stated that the steamship left Skaguay on her return trip to Se- attle on February 5. W. W. Mcclure says that he has positive knowledge that the steamship had not reached skaguay on February.4. Mcclure does

Their comfortable home, short distance

My husband bought three boxes Of the

" In three days the child was brighter
His appetite was better. He began to show

"We increased the dose, giving him
half a pill at time. He gained every day
in weight and appetite.

ing three boxes, he was a new boy.
"He was happy, hearty, enjoying Lite

Mrs. Williams made affidavit to the
truth of her statement before David Crisp,

Harmon Hobart, Sheriff.

In spite of the fact that he went
from them, the young bachelors of
lola still have a regard for Harmon
Hobart, the present sheriff. Some
time ago a paper was started, and
people nearly fought to get to sign it,
for the purpose of getting money to
buy a sherif7s badge for him. 1t is a
handsome gold badge with his name
and title engraved upon its face and
on the back "a present from the
boys" Sunday morning a crowd of
the boys gathered in the room over
the county Jail where Harmon spent
many happy day and they telephon-
ed to central asking them to send the
the sheriff up as there was man up
from Humboldt who wanted to put a
man in the cooler. Harmon came up
and the boys rose and Percy Har-
ris expressed the sentiment of the
crowd in a few choice.twell selected
words to the effect that "they wanted
whiskey and plenty oft" Hobart
regretted that he was out, but had
some coming so the boys compromis-
ed and gave him the badge and then
laughed at him because he showed
symptoms of being touched by their
kindness.
