The house devoted another day to
tion bill, most of the time being con-
sumed as on the two preceding days,
in discussing extraneous subjects.
BY far the most interesting feature
of the day was the debate on the ques-
tion of reducing the mail-carrier SER
vice in the large cities, owing to the
failure of the senate to attach the es-
timated deficiency of $780, 900 to the
urgent deficiency bill. This subject
has been agitating the metropolitan
cities ever since the order was issued
for cutting down the force February l.
A dozen representatives from as many
different cities protested against the
proposed reduction and urged an imme-
diate appropriation, when Chairman
Loud, of the postoffice committee, and
Chairman Cannon, of the appropria-
tion committee, allayed the wrath of
the members by assuring them that
there was no occasion for alarm; that
the service could not possibly suffer
until June, by which time there would
be ample opportunity to pass a def
cheney appropriation. Loud used strong
words in his criticism of the postoffice
department officials and promised some
interesting disclosures later on.
The motion to strike out the appro-
priation for the Carlisle Indian school
was defeated after considerable debate,
1896. Three pages of the bill were
disposed of today. The conference re-
port on the urgent deficiency bill was
dropped.

Dole In Washington,

Washington, Jan. 31.-President
Dole, of Hawaii, arrived here at 2:2O
P. Nj, and in behalf of the govern
ment was welcomed by Secretary Sher-
man and Assistant Secretary Adee.
The presidential party was belated by
storms along the way, and it was three
hours after schedule time when the
train swung into the Baltimore 81 Ohio
depot. A crowd of several hundred peo-
pie assembled on North Capitol street,
and platoons of mounted policemen
were on hand to act as an escort.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR CANAL
Can Be Built for Three Quarters the
Original Estimate.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The Herald
correspondent with the Nicaraguan
canal commission advises under date OF
Managua, January Is, that the COM
mission cabled to Washington two
days ago, as follows:
1.-THE canal of Nicaragua may be
built for less than three-quarters the
original estimate. Four and half or
six and half years will be required to
build it. Forty-eight hundred laborers
are needed to commence work. These
should be divided into three groups,
2,200 between Rio San Juan and Cas-
tillo, 1900 between Corinto and Nom
otomba and 800 in Managua. This
number of men should be doubled
within six months" This was received
by the canal commission in reply:
"a company in Ohio and New York
has been duly formed to engage men
from Puerto Barrios, Jamaica, Belisle
and Nicaragua"
The Herald's correspondent adds
that each of the 13 engineers with the
commission represents big syndicate,
each one fighting to get the contract,
but the Ohio and New York men have
secured it. The Chicago contractors
and engineers are satisfied with the
facilities for work in the Western divi-
sion. These are beyond their expecta-
.tions. The party leaves for Ichoa on
January 25.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Herald says that the above cable
gram is interpreted there to mean that
the Maritime Canal Company, antici-
pating favorable report from the
Walker commission as to the feasibl-
lty of the project and of subsequent IA
vorable action by congress, has men
prepared to begin the work of construc-
tion Immediately.
Under the terms of it's concession
from the Nicaraguan government the
canal was to have been completed next
fall, otherwise the concession would be
fortified unless that company had ex-
pended large sum of money IN the
prosecution of the work. In fact, it is
tne contention or the Nicaraguan gov
ernment that the concession has al
ready been fortified, but this conten-
tion is not accepted by either the COM
pany or the administration.
The preliminary report which the
commission will make will be submit
ted to congress without delay upon the
bill giving governmental support to
the project. 1t has been anticipated
that the report would be favorable,
both as regards the feasibility and cost
OF the canal. The estimate made by
Civil Engineer>A. G. Menocal for the
plan in 1895 for the construction of
canal following the Tola basin line
puts the cost of the work at $66, 1885,.
$50, and second estimate, the canal
to follow low-level line, fixed the
cost at SOS, S93, 66o.
The Ludlow commission estimated
that canal built along the low-level
line would cost Sl3.472, S93.

THE GUEST OF HONOR.


New York, Jan. 31.-The third an
nual banquet of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers of the United
States, which took place tonight at the
Waldoif-Astoria hotel, was one of the
largest and most elaborate affairs OF the
kind ever given in the city. A thou
sand guests were sea ted at the tables.
The fact that President Mckinley
would be present caused a rush for
tickets.
President Mckinley was driven from
the Windsor and was received at the
WaldOrf-Astoria at 6:30 P. NJ, by the
committee of merchants and was at
once taken to the 'royal chambers"
Half an hour later, he appeared in the
reception room, where he held levee
for more than an hour.
The banquet hall was magnifcently
decorated, the tiers of boxes being
draped with silken banners. The pres
ident's flag was suspended over the
head of the table from tine presidents
box. Seven long tables extended the
length of the room and 16 small tables
were placed on either side of the rows
of long tables. In the Astor gallery
annex were 33 other tables. The tables
were elaborately decorated with flowers
and potted plants. The dais were the
president and other guests sat was also
adorned with many flowers. From the
reception hall up the broad staircase to
the banquet room were lines of palms
and ferns. Owing to the double ban
quet rooms, there was much confusion
in making the assignment OF the guests
to their seats at the tables.
The march to the banquet hall began
at 7:l5 and lasted until $3.50. being
struggling line. President Mckinley,
with the committee of 36, marched
into the hall, the band playing "Hail
to the Chief"
1t was after O'Clock when Warner
Miller raped for order. He an
nounced that Rev. r. S. Arthur would
invoke blessing. DR.. Arthur, in his
prayer, called for special protection for
the president and the members of the
Manufacturers Association.
President Mckinley, in response to
toast, spoke briefly on the financial
question, and stated that all the
pledges of the st. Louis platform must
be fulfilled.

SNOW LOCOMOTIVE SCHEME.
MIR. Glover Explains in Chicago the
Plans of His Company.

Chicago, Jan. 3l.-George I. Glover.
an inventor, has solved the problem of
getting supplies into the Klondike reg
ion this winter by means of his snow
traction locomotive. Seven of these
locomotives are now building in Chi
cago and New York, and 32 freight and
passenger cars will be built at Port
land, Or, for this work. These will
be at Dyea by February 10 for Dawson
City over the Dalton trail.
THE locomotives that are now being
constructed for this Klondike trim. 4"
said MIR. Glover, "will weigh about
eight tons each, half the weight of the
logging locomotives. Their capacity
will be about 100 tons burden respec.
lively. | find that an eight-ton ma.
chine will do the work and run easier
These locomotives are practically ready
now for shipment to Portland, where
they will be assembled and then shin
ped, together with 32 cars to Dyea.
Here they will be put up and placed in
readiness for the expedition which
leaves that point February 10 for Daw.
son City, in charge OF Captain Brain.
erd, of the United States army.
"Chilkat pass will be the greatest
obstruction encountered on the first
trip. There is no part of the pass.
however, that presents grade greater
than 30 per cent. These locomotives
can climb such grade readily. Each
machine will have a steam windlass
attached and by means of this the train
can easily pull itself up at remarka-
pie speed. l calculate on getting over
the pass in less than As hours with the
nrst train. The way once open sub
sequent travel will be easier.

SMOKELESS POWDER.
Naval Bill Will Provide for the Pur.
chase OF a Large Quantity.

chase of a Large Quantity.
Washington, Jan. 31.-It is regarded
as settled that the naval appropriation
bill, now being framed by house sub
committee, will contain three import.
ant items, namely, $4,000, 900 for
smokeless powder, $500. 900 for reserve
ammunition, and 800, 1000 for the es-
tablishment of government powder
factory. The matter of having an am
pie supply of powder to meet the re-
quirements OF our naval vessels in an
emergency has received careful consid-
Grafton from members of the commit
tee. AS long as the old style of black
powder was in use, the many private
companies making this article gave as
surance that a supply could be secured
on short notice. Now, however, with
the general adoption of smokeless pow
'er, the opportunities for speedily get
Ting supply are said to be much re-
duced. For that reason, it is proposed
to allow $4,000, 900 for the purchase
of this article, and at the same time
provide government factory which
will thereafter produce an ample sup
ply. The item of $500, O0G for reserve
ammunition will cover all classes OF
naval material, large and small, to
meet requirements of vessels nearing
completion, and such emergencies as
may arise.

STEAMER DULUTH WRECKED
Struck a Bar OFF st. Joseph,

the Lifesaving Crew-The Vessel Is
Total LOss-Sea Was Heavy.

Total Loss-sea Was Heavy.
st. Joseph, Mich, Jan. 31.-The big
grain steamer City of Duluth arrived
off this port, from South Chicago, last
night, and attempted to enter the har-
Dor. There was tremendous wind
from the northwest and very heavy
sea running. The Duluth kept on her
course into the harbor, and at the
mouth of the river struck bar and
was thrown heavily against the north
pier, breaking in two. The mammoth
steel arches on either side of the boat
gave way Immediately, and the bow of
the boat dropped two Or three feet.
A large hold was stove in the port side
as she swung around, and she went to
the bottom in an hour, leaving only
her cabin and part of her bulwarks
above water.
The two big tugs, Morford and Pro-
lection, which had accompanied the big
boat on her trip across the lake, made
desperate attempts to reach her and
get her crew and passengers off, but
were unsuccessful. The life-saving
crew were summoned and reached the
scene of the disaster in quick time
considering that it had disbanded for
the winter. At midnight they had
shot mortar line to the boat and the
rescue began. The first one to be
taken ashore was August Kerwein, of
this city. He dipped into the water
several times during the perilous trip,
and was badly frozen when he was
pulled out onto the pier. The rest of
the passengers were taken ashore in
this manner, one at a time. There
were II passengers and 23 of the crew.
Captain Mclean was the last to
leave, being taken off at o'clock this
morning. There were several ladies on
board. The members of the life-sav-
ing crew took turns going out in the
car after them. Mrs. William Tryon
is suffering from the effects of the trip.
She was in delicate condition, and
was badly frozen and seized with nerv-
Gus prostration. There is no hope for
her to live.
The City of Duluth had heavy
cargo of corn and flour, and deckload
OF merchandise for local merchants.
There is no hope of saving anything of
the wreck, as there is very high sea
rolling. No boat can reach her, and
she is rapidly going to pieces. The en-
gineer says that when the boat struck
the engine jumped foot and was i'm
mediately torn to pieces. The water
rushed in and put out the fires, and
the tiremen barely escaped up the lad
ders.
The floor OF the deck gave mighty
heave upward. md the passengers were
thrown into the widest confusion.
The City of Duluth was an old but
staDch steamer. She was under char
ter of the Graham & Norton Transpor-
tation Company, carrying principally
through freight from Chicago to this
port, in connection with the Big -Four.
She was owned by the Lake Michigan
& Superior Company. Her capacity
was about 1000 tons, and her value
about $4,000. She was laden with
package freight and grain. The steamer
is well insured, and it is understood
had $4,000 insurance on her cargo.
On several previous trips she stuck on
the bar while entering this harbor.

Arms for Indian Rebels.

London, Jan. 3l.-According to
dispatch from Birmingham to the
Globe, the capture of the steamer Balu-
chistan, off Muscat, Arabia, by the
British gunboat Lapwing, and the
seizure of her cargo of arms and am
munition, has temporarily paralyzed
some OF the large gunmakers, because
the London merchants concerned have
ordered them to suspend operations.
A well-known manufacturer says that,
on the order of London merchant, he
has turned 100 rifles and ton of am
munition weekly for the last three
years. The rifles were Malfords. The
Persian authorities, it seems, winked
at these irregularities, until Great Bril-
tain interviewed. The same firm was
preparing to turn out 5000 weapons
monthly to the same customer.

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
Debate of Six Hours on the Teller
Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-For more
than six hours, the senate had under
discussion the Teller resolution provid-
ing that the government pay the prin-
cipal and interest of United States
bonds in silver. By agreement, the
resolution and pending amendent are
to be voted on before adjournment to-
morrow. The debate was devoid of
the sensational incidents and acrimoni-
Gus colloquys which characterized that
of yesterday, but it was replete with
arguments and oratOry. The time was
consumed by Teller, the author OF the
resolution, and Daniel. who supported
the resolution, and Hoar and Platt of
Connecticut, in opposition to it. All
delivered set speeches, except Hoar,
whose speech was in reply to some
points advanced by Teller yesterday.
No other business was transacted.

MISSION OF THE MAINE.
Havana Newspapers Insist That 1t Is
One of Peace.

New York, Jan. 3l.-The last ripple
of visible excitement in the arrival Of +
the Maine has died away, says the Her.
AIDS Havana correspondent, and the /
ship as she lies at anchor attracts no
more attention than any other vessel in |
the harbor. The papers made the brief
est possible allusion to her arrival, and
La Union Constitutional, the cOnserva-
tive organ, prints Washington dis.
patch to the effect that the visit Of the
Maine to Havana is merely an act OF
courtesy showing the friendly feeling
to Spain, and to counteract the anti.
Spanish utterances in congress. La
Union adds that the visit will be re.
turned by Spanish ships in American
ports.
In spite of this, there is strong un'
dercurrent of feeling in Havana, as
evinced by the excited talking of angry
groups assembled in the cafes. The
general impression among radicals IS
that the cause OF Spain has been be.
trayed by the Blanco government, and
the nation humiliated by what they re-
gard as the first step in the direction OF
American intervention. This has IN
tensified the hatred of General Blanco
and his associates and of the cause OF
autonomy, and this hatred may at any
moment find vent in an outbreak Oh
fury, in which case members OF the
government may be forced to depena
for their personal safety on the Maine
for while the peril is obvious, the
troops concentrated during the rlo's
have been dispersed and no new pre-
cautions have been taken.
The arrival of the Maine created Gu :
thusiasm among the Americans VINO
