WRECK AND ITS VICTIMS.
Appropriation For Salvage of Hull
and Recovery of Bodies.

and Recovery of Bodies.
Washington. Feb. ls.-Soon after the
senate met today. Mr.. Hale of Maine
introduced the following joint resolu-
tion:
THAT the secretary of the navy be
ano IS hereby authorized to engage the
services of wrecking company or COM
Tanies, having proper facilities for the
prompt and efficient performance OF
submarine work, for the purpose of re-
covering the remains of the officers and
men lost or the United States ship
Maine, and OF saving the vessel or such
PARTS thereof. and so much of her
stores, guns, material, equipment, fit
tlngs and apDurtenances as may be
practicable: and for this purpose the
sum OF 5200,0O0, or so much thereof as
may be necessary, is hereby appropriat-
ed and made Immediately available"
The resolution was prepared at the
navy department and introduced at the
request Of Secretary Long, who, in for
Warclng Il to Mr. Hale, also sent a let
ter explaining its purpose He says in
this letter that ''it is deemed proper and
important that steps should be taken
Immediately to recover the remainder
OF the officers and men lost on the oc-
c2sion of this most deDiorabie catas-
trophe, to raise the vessel or TO save
such parts of her armament and equip
ment as may be practicable"
To this the secretary adds: THE
meager information received respecting
the nature and extent OF the injury
sustained by the hull of the Maine rem
ders it difficult TO determine at this time
whether there is reason to hone that
the vessel herself may be raised. but
it seems probable, as she lies within the
protection of the harbor, and is not
"holly submerged, that much valuable
-rty may be recovered, If the nee
y action is taken without delay
= lie vessel. with her stores, guns, ma
terial, equipment, fittings and appur-
tenances. cost approximately $1,000. O00
As an illustration of the value of single
items which may have escaped serious
injury, it may be said that the 10-inch
Suns, of which the Maine carried four,
were worth. with their mounts, SIS. 500
each. Aside from the melancholy duty
resting upon the government to recover
and bring to this country for burial, if
this may be done, the bodies of the Of
fcers ard men who lost their lives in
this disaster. it is believed that much
valuable property may yet be saved
from the vessel. In any event, it is
of the utmost Importance that what
ever is to be done in this matter should
be entered upon without delay.
THE sinking of the Maine will be
made the subject of immediate and ex-
haustive inquiry, and congress will be
fully advised of the result of such in
vestiSation."
Mr.. Long states that in fixing the
sum asked for, the department is at
this time unable to estimate the neces-
sary expense with any degree OF ac-
curacy. but he says he has conferred
with the bureau of construction and
repair, ana If the appropriation re-
quested be made, only so much as may
be found necessary will be expended
in the work

New York, Feb. 1S.-The Spanish
armored cruiser Vizcaya is in New
York waters. She dropped her big
anchors five miles south of Sandy
Hook lightship at $50 p. m. after Is
days voyage from Canary Islands
When her officers and men learned
the startling disaster to the American
battleship Maine in Havana harbor,
and of the downfall of former Minister
de LONE, they broke into a wild uproar
of talk. For a couple of minutes all
discipline on the great warship seemed
to vanish to the winds. Men rushed
below to tell their comrades on the
lower decks. Early tomorrow morning
the Vizcaya will come up to the
anchorage selected for her in the
upper bay.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-Secretary Bliss
is in receipt of a letter from Governor
John G. Brady of Alaska, descriptive of
the lawless condition of affairs at
Skaguay and Dyea. 1t was referred to
at cabinet meeting today when
Alaskan affairs were under discussion,
and was considered sufficient justifi-
cation by the members for the dispatch
of additional military force already
authorized to be sent to Alaskan ter
ritory. The following is a copy of the
letter:
News from Skaguay by the steam
boat now in port is serious. The
United States deputy marshal has been
shot dead in discharge of his duty.
Another man was killed at the same
time at the same place. Recently the
steamers have been carrying great
lists of passengers. Many of these are
gamblers. thugs and lewd women from
the worst quarters of the cities of the
coast. They have taken in the situa-
ton at Skaguay and Dyea and appear
to have combined to carry things with
a high hand.

Forces He Will Win-West Point

Judge King On the Cuban Stu
ation-Boise's Federal Building.


Washington. D. c., Feb. 1S.-Whittemore
still leads in the attorneyship contest and
unless there is an early consolidation of
the forces of his opponents, he will be
| successful. The suggestion which has
/ been made in certain quarters that the
attorneyship should not go to Il person of
Mormon antecedents has apparently not
seriously affected his chances. This must
be on the theory that he is not enough of
a Mormon to count. The opinion that no
Mormon should be appointed has been
freely expressed by several senators. A
Republican senator from the middle west
said today: The federal judicial posi-
tons are the last positions from which
the government can do anything toward
carrying into effect the pledges of the
Mormon people. The last safeguards
should not be surrendered until the new
lished'
1t is probable that no Mormon would
be confirmed as district attorney. for the
reasons suggested by this senator.
The three candidates for attorney now
in the city all attended a musicale at the
Cairo flats this evening they made every
EFFORT to be agreeable to each other but
all exhibited symptoms of nervousness.
The nomination is now scheduled, at the
latest, Tor next tuesday. 1t would prob
ably have gone in today but for the adj
journment of the senate over Sunday.
APPROVED BY KING.
Representative King said this afternoon
that he fully approved the presidents
course IN not diSpatchinS any other gun
boats into Havana harbor. Certainly no
American vessel should be sent into that
harbor ne said. until it is determined
whether the Maine was destroyed by acct
dent or design. There should, however,
be American vessels outside of Havana
harbor and also at MatanZas, Sagua, La
Grande CienfuegoS and Santiago. But
we should anchor no more vessels over
the torpedo beds and in the cuiIssacs of
Havana harbor until the investigation is
completed.

BEST PEOPLE POWERLESS.
1.-THE best people at the places are
powerless because they have no
municipal form of government. The
United States marshal is powerless be-
cause he can appoint only a few
deputies, and when they undertake to
act they are singled out as targets by
this ruffian element. One of this class
was tried in the United States district
court last December for the killing of
United States Deputy Marshall Watt
in January, 1897, and was acquitted by
the jury in the face of positive testi
mony. In fact, these influences seem
to be Joined hand in hand and will
surely go unpublished unless the gov
eminent takes immediate action and
provides the necessary force at
Skaguay. Dyea and other points. Con-
gresS should grant immediate relief, so
both naval and military officers can
act when requested by the civil author

TROUBLE AT BERNER'S BAY.
'At the present time large and i'm
portant mining property is held by a
number of miners at Berner'S Bay.
This property was recently placed in

but to date the receiver has not come
into possession. In this instance there
is much to be said of the miners ac-
ton and their self-control. but it is of
such a nature that violence may be
the result. The marshal has no means
of reaching that point with a sufficient
force to carry out the instructions of
the court. Judge Johnson leaves by

Significance Of the Nose.

The nose, the form of which regu.
lates the beauty Of the other features,
is by no means inaccessible to higher
culture, for we have it on the author
ity Of German physician that it is
beyond dispute that during halt Of an
individual human life the nose is cap
able of receiving o moro noble form.
The training Of the individual, the
culture of his intellect and character,
has q very considerable influence, not
only on the expression of the face in
general, but also on the bodily nature
of the nose. The characteristics Of
the various shapes Of nose, according
to pbysiognomy, are as follows: The
small, fat nose, found among women,
and called the soubrette nose, when
occurring with an otherwise agreeable
and fortunate build of features, jndi-
Gates q certain gracious and cheerful
naivete, combined with an inconsider-
ate curiosity. Such a nose seldom is
possessed by men, and when it is it
denotes IN individuality characterized
by weakness and deficient sagacity. A
nose thick and aet is an unfavorable
feature with men, as we'll as with
women, usually signifying that the
character is predominated by material
and sensual instincts, while turned
up nose, with wide nostrils, bespeaks
o vain, puffed-up disposition. Espe-
cially wide nostrils are signs Of
strength, courage and pride; small
nostrils, Of weakness and timidity.
Noses large in every respect are found
mostly among men and are masuline
attributes.-New York Ledger.

Two Million Egg, in a Day.

The Battle Creek (shasta County,

putation. Lase Friday 403 female
salmon with spawn were caught, from
which, it is estimated, 2,0l5, 900 sal.
mon eggs we're taken. This is the
greatest catch ever made in any fishery
in the world in one day,
Robert Radclif, who has been con-
structing a big dam at the hatchery.
who is in Redding, said:
s. s ''The Battle Creek fishery will sup.
ply the whole United States with sal.
mon eggs for propagating purposes
this year. Already there have been
over $4,000, 900 taken. It is the great.
est salmon fishery in the world. Battle
Creek is natural spawning ground for
salmon. Where it empties into the
Sacramento River both the river and
the creek are very deep. And right
at the intersection the river makes a
big bend, and at a glance it would ap.
