Act on the Maine Disaster

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 1I.-Gov. Tanner
today sent the following special message
to the legislature:
1.-The news of the calamity which has

Maine and it's crew fills me with grief
and horror, and l assume the general as
sembly will express the sympathy of the
people of this State for the gallant dead
and wounded of our Navy, and for the
surviving rela atives.
Il am unwilling to believe that the loss
of the Maine was the result of inten-
ton, and trust that official investiga-
tiOn may demonstrate that it was due
to accidental causes. In view of the un-
Certainty which exists at this point, il
would seem that, before the legislature
