BRITISH BARK
 .ANDELINA LOST Ca ptain, Mate and Fifteen or the
 Crew Drowned. TERRIFIC GALE WAS RAGING Boom Logs Were Placed One on Each Side of the Vessel and Loss of
 One Caused the Ship
 to Careen.
TERRIFIC GALE WAS RAGING

Seattle, Wash, January 1i.-The British bark Andelina, of Nova Scotia, Captain G. w. R. Suailing, sank in twenty-two fath- oms of water in front of ahe St. Paul mill wharf, and the captain mate and fifteen of the crew were drowned. No one witnessed the accident as it occurred during the night.
 The vessel came four days ago in ballast from Shanghai. The ballast had been dis waiting to be towed into the dock.
 Last night terrific gale ragged on the bay, the wind blowing thirty-six miles an hour. Two great boom logs were placed beside gale between 2 and 4 this morning one of the logs went adrift, causing the ship to careen and to capsze with very little warning to the crew. The vessel was en- tirely without ballast and the matches were open. All on board were caught like rats in trap and had no chance to escape The ship simply careened over, the water flowed in the open matches and she sank
 At daylight this morning the ship was missed. Where she had been riding ap- parently secure at dusk the night before there showed but a blank stretch of water. The wreckage which strewed the bay told the vessels fate. A large number of the crew were discharged yesterday or the loss of life would have been far more ap- palllng.

The Confederate Homes Question

Richmond, January 1E-General oJseph Wheeler is to visit Richmond in a few making extensive preparations to give him a warm welcome. He is to be the orator on the occasion of the presentation to Camp Lee of Confederate Veterans of the portrait of one of the members of that organization. During his stay here General Wheeler will no doubt talk over with prominent Confed- crates the question which is now receiving so much attention, that of proposed aid of the federal government in maintaining the homes of Confederatss in the south There Is universal opposition to this proposition in Virginia. All camps that have con- sidered it have adopted resolutions antago- nizing the suggestion. General Wheeler when he gets here is quite sure to be con- suited on the subject. There Is, however, an impression that he is inclined to favor the government giving aid to the Confederate homes. This question Is regarded in sol dier circles as a sharp attempt to concili- ate the southern vote for the presidential campaign three years hence.

MUCH YET TO BE DONE,
(Continued From First Page.)

dispatch a smile spread over Senator Nor gans countenance as he looked up and said, "Mr. President, I will reserve the rest of my remarks until the December ses- sion."
 It took President Cleveland to put a stop to these piratical practices of the upper body of congress. He not only vetoed several bills which came to him on the Ia st day of congress burdened with appropria- tions, which were of private nature. cer- tainly not well considered, but during his second term he would refuse to sign bill which he had not time to read or consider For fear of killing bill altogether, the senate became very careful of what went into it during the closing days. He once let river and harbor bill go by the boards because not sufficient time was allowed him to read it over Once he was on tho point of letting the sundry civil fail when congress had to get Speaker Crisp to go to the white house to assure him that there him to read 1t over. Once he was on the In spite of the differences of opinion of President Cleveland and Speaker Crisp the former always had the most implicit faith in the Georgian, and the latter could get anything he desired from the president.
 Crisp's Fealty to rarty az
 I once remember hearing the silver men in the house urging Judge Crisp to let the committee on banking and currency report a free silver bill and threatening him with all sorts of dire disasters if he failed to put 16 to measure through congress He de- clined, not because he was not in favor of the bill, but for the reason, as he said, that he was more in favor of the democratic party 'There is no use," he said, "of try ing to force this issue over the head of democratic president or over the party un- til a democratic convention declares itself outright on the subject. I will not be par ticeps criminis in destroying my party The split is coming soon enough without bring ing it about now and thereby dlvorcing democratic house from democratic presl- dent" The spirit of compromise was strong in Crisp as it was in Clay and the states men of the old school He believed that all legislation was the result of compromise and regarded it wise that it was so
 The Nicaragua canal bill will be voted on next Tuesday in the senate, and there seems no chance now of It's being defeated. There will be a number of senators who will vote against it, but there are enough who will vote for it to insure it's passage. At one time just before the holidays it seemed

SORROW PROFOUND.
Messages of Coincidence Pouring in on
 the Dingley Family.

Washington, January 14-Profound sor- row was manifested today in every walk of pubic life in the announcement that Nell son Dingley, of Maine, had passed away. At the late home of MT. Dngley there were many evidences of that deep personal es- came general and al last accounts was still condolence came from every quarter of the country and to them were added the per sonal condolence of cabinet officers, sena- tors, supreme justices and members of the house. Secretaries Alger and Wilson wefe among the earliest callers and following them came nearly every man in congress with whom MT. Dingley had been associ- ated during his long and notable service.
 Mrs. Dingley' was prostrated by the shock and the tension of many days constant vigil at her husbands bedside. But she was reported to be bearing up bravely aud no serious apprehension was expressed a. to her condition.
 At the house of representatives the death as MT. Dingley came as a personal herea.Ys.

Washington Gossip Over Alabama


 Washington Letter in the Atlanta Journal. A young southerner who is ensconced in, one of the pleasantest and most dignified places of the government service is Thomas H. Clark, of Montgomery. He is in charge of the national law library, and better man for the place could not be found. He is one of the best lawyers in Alabama He won his spurs in politics, also, having proved himself one of the stoutest cam pafgners in the state. He captured the speakership of the Alabama house of rep- fesentatves from large field of competi- tors and wielded the gavel with ability Why such a man Is willing to sit down here and take care of library cannot under- stand, but Clark likes it and everybody woh has to do with the law library likes to have him there.
 He tells me that General c. M Shelley, of Selma, will probably succeed Governor Johnston. General Shelley had quite a career in congress, but has been out of it for years. In the meantime he has been a successful contractor, but has always kept in close touch with Alabama politics. When ever there is any hard service needed, no- body volunteers for it more readily than Shelley and not man in Alabama has ever gone down into his pocket oftsner or deeper for the sake of his party. Personally ther0 Is not a more popular man in the state and if he goes in for the governorship the, ether boys may a well step asida SItA,.u,ai

certain of defeat in it's present form, but a majority of those who opposed it have been won over to the idea that t will be better to let it pass as it is framed and be amended in conference than to defeat it now and thereby delay the passage indefinitely. There is a powerful lobby here against it, and, if this were not so, the bill might fail at this session. A lobby frightens weak senator's They fear that if they oppose measure with a rich lobby in Washington fighting it, some stigma might be attached to their opposition.

 Senator Morgan's whole being Is set m favor of seeing this canal started while he is still in the senate. When the hrst shovel ful of dirt is taken out by the gov ernment to make way for the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic to meet, Senator Mor- gan will be prepared to chant the "nunc deumittis "-"Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace."
 He will have fulfilled his ambition. Known as a jingo for twenty years, he has lived to see his policy become that of the na- ton. His chief ambition as a senator was to see his government assume an active
  has been a persistent fighter for Cuban independence, Hawaiian annexation, and the construction of the Nicaraguan canal. He has been the advance man in the sen ate on all three of these propositions. He has been been a leader not only in his own party, but of both parties in the senate for years. He has differed from his own party as often as he has agreed with it, yet the charge that he was a bolter was never once made of him. He would have ignored it, possibly, had it been.
 A more rounded and complete career in the senate 1t would be almost impossible to conceive. He is revered by all, loved by many, and in his advanced years pow CT among the nations of the world. He has been ridcued al times for his persistency, but every effort has been crowned with sue cess. He has no apologies to make, for his theories have become facts in legisla- tion. He has left his impress on more laws than any one man in public life for half century. Whether other generatonsl will call him blessed remains to be seen.

 In another house a child was crying from actual hunger. It was given an apple, which was avarieiously devoured. A second one being given 1t, was as greedily partaken of as its predecessor.

 Juvenile Cigarette Fiend

Upon being given one, the little factory employe, apparently about 10 years of age, and who was not working on account of his mothers illness, curled himself up in a corner and smoked serenely. The sanitary arrangements around the colony are said to be bad and this is as- signed as one of the causes for the sick ness prevailing.
