Floating of Paris Was Accomplished
with Ease.

Falmouth Eng. July 1s.-Superinten-
dent Aisbstt who has bean In charge OF
the work of salving the Paris is greatly
elated at her re-hoating. He says IL was
accomplished with remarkable ease. The
wind happened to make the tide foot
higher than expected, and Immediately
after 1t was perceived that the steamer
the hawser fast to an anchor astern, was
set in motion and the Paris was speedily
cleared OF the rocks. During the night
her pumps materially reduced tbs
amount of water in her holds, her fires
were lighted today and the Paris herself
will be able to cope with the pumping
work, though there are still large holes
In her bottom to be patched up. The
worst of these ia four feet square. The
superintendent no longer has the slight
est anxiety RS to the success of the opera
lions to provide for the safety of the ship.
The salvage association took the con-
traut on the basis of mo cure, no pay"
principle. Hundreds of tons Of rocks
have been removed hy dynamite until the
channel made beneath the steamer was
practically the greater part of the length
OF the ship. AS the Falmouth. dry dock
cannot accommodate the Paris. 1t has
been decided to run her On an unexposed
sand leach in that harbor where tempo.
rary repairs will be made BEFORE going to
Southampton,
Owing to the more favorable weather
and the fact that such repairs as were
felt necessary could be rapidly effected
the salvers changed their plans land sud-
denly started towing with five tugs, sup
ported by thrss salvage boats, for BAL.
mouth. by midnight the worst part of
the, journey had been accomplished.
PARIS WAS BEACHED.
New York, July 1..-Vice- President
Wright of the American line said this az
ternoon that he had been advised by cable
that the Paris has been beached on = soft
spot selected previously to, the time she
was hauled off tha Manicles. Nothing has
yet been determined about her removal
to Falmouth or Southampton though she
will go TO one OF these places.
Mr.. Wright said he understood that the
salvage of the ship had been accomplished
by firm of German wrecksrs whose
name he did not know.
MIR. Wright said nothing would be de-
termined as to the disposition of the chip,
until she had been thoroughly gone over
and the salvage and repairs taken into
account

Controversy Between Com.
Brewer and Mr.. Chandler. :


Concord, N. H.. July s--The session
this afternoon of the hearing given by
the civil service commissioners upon the
charges preferred by ex-Gov. Busiel
against Senator GaIlingsr. brought out
a warm oolloquy between the twe-sena-
tors, during which the lie was passed
and Senator Chandler and Commissioner
Brewer became involved In dispute
which the Senator says win leaa-hin to
ask President Mckinley for the commits
sioner's removal No early witnesses be-
Ing on hand. by direction of Chairman
Brewer the correspondence between the
commission and William S. Thayer. treas
urer of the Republican state Committee
In 1898, was read. Then came a discus
sion as to the opening and closing of the
case. during which Senator Chandler re-
marked that the commission seemed to
have found out everything connected
with this Investigation except the essen.
tial facts-who wrote the assessments,
fixed the amounts. directed the envelopes
and who sent them out. Said he:
''It Is called commission to do this
and lind these men"
Here Mr.. Brewer interrupted: AZ OBJ
jsct TO these things being taken down
Mr.. Chandler-''yeIy well, 1 win say
1t without having 1t taken down.
Mr. Brewer-"Not in this room; this
is my room and pay for it.
Senator Chandler-'T am not 20 be
muzzled in this room; I have my
rights" ,.
Mr. Brewer--"You have no rights ex-
cept those of gentleman.
After further spirited collcquy Mr..
Chandler proceeded to say that Mr.. Thny-
er. The man most wanted In connection
with the Investigation, did not happen
to be present. and he believed he had been
kept away by Senator Gallinger,
Senator Gallinger and his counsel, At
torney General Eastman, at once shouted:
That Ia absolutely false; it is not true. =
Mr.. Eastman continued. calling Senator
Chandler "a liar" adding, ~ do not
care II you are United States Sena-
tor.''
Senator Chandler retorted: "And I. do.
not care IL you ara attorney general and
are defending criminals when you sho uld
be prosecuting them. Z"
Upon Senator Gallinger appealing to
the chair, Senator Chandler said:
Men who call other men linrs do not
need protection. l repeat. believe Sena-
tor Gallinger has kept MIR. Thayer
away"
9 Senator Gallinger shouted: 'You don't
dare to come outside this room and say
that
II will go outside and say it," replied
Senator Chandler, starting for the door.
Friends restrained both men and after a
few minutes of confusion the hearing
went on. s~~'~'-.-'
Senator Gallinger read prepared state
ment showing the case against him to
be utterly collapsed and protesting
against Its further col~.nuance. He then
left the room and his counsel. Attorney
General Eastman spoke with view OF
softening the harsh words he had used
to Senator Chandler --..e- ...-
The latter made similar concess ion
to Attorney General Eastman and the
meeting adjourned, probably never to re-
sumo.
The commissioners will not leave town
until tomorrow but there is little HELL
