this city to Unalaska, ran on a reefein

injuries to her hull that will necessi-

ed. Her injuries, ii appeared, were not
of a serious character, for the vessel

could hardly get enough water from the

as soon as we got it under control, 1

FIRE DOES DAMAGE
IN PROGRESS BUILDING
CONTINUED From Page ID

But even then. the operation of the
linotypes was. to say the least, a diff
cult task The soaking of the electric
wires and the general wetness of things
everywhere caused nearly all the metal
to become charged with electricity, and
extreme care had to be used in working
around them. Several times the men
received shocks which compelled them
to lay off for awhile to recuperate.
More inconvenience was caused, how
ever. in the press room than in the
composing room. All afternoon a corps
Of men was kept at work bailing out
the water. and even then the machin-
cry did not escape damage. The belt
ing became soaked and stretched so
that it did not pursue its regular
course as nicely as it should A goodly
portion of the paper roofs stored in
the basement were destroyed, but in
the face Of all these difficulties. The
Herald has succeeded in printing as US

done in its own plant
The work had however, it's humor-

operators came down to work in the
evening, he contemplated the pools
Of water for a few moments and then
said:

GERMAN MONEY MARKET.
Discount Rates Are Still Rising and

Berlin. April 1.-The monthly settle

carry-over rates, due to the conviction
of leaders that speculation has been
much overdone- The correspondent OF
the Associated Press finds this conVlc-
ton general in high financial circles,
where it is pointed out that coal shares
have risen beyond all proportion TO

excessively high, considering the In

of money rates all last week, industrial
shares were very strong and American

public has confidence in the continuance
of American prosperity. The rise of

Judging from the Strictures of the

Porto Rican Bill Set For That
Time In the Senate.
SENATORS WHO OPPOSE
CLARK AND QUAY CASES POST
PoNED FOR FEW DAYS.
The House Will Consider the Bill to
Provide Civil Government For
the Hawaiian Islands-The FL
nal Vote Will Be Taken on
Thursday.

washington, April 1.-The senate will
vote upon the Porto Rican bill Tuesday
at O'Clock, and previous to that time
each session will be devoted wholly TO
this bill. Speeches will be made by Sem
ators Bate. Depew, Spooner, Cullom,
Mason CLAW and Culberson, and prob
ablv nv Other. senators. The time al
lowed is considered too short to accom-
modate all who will desire to be heard.
All but two of the committee amend
ments have been agreed TO by the SEN
ate. These relate to a delegate n con-
gress and to citizenship, and propaply
will be voted upon Monday. The friends
of the bill count upon its passage by a
handsome majority, but it >, now eX-
pected that seven Republican votes
win be cast against it, namely, Davis,
Hoar Mason. Nelson, Simon, Proctor
and Wellington. Senator McEnery
Deml and some independent senator's
will vote for the measure, but until the
exact number of such votes is known
the majority for the bill cannot be pre-
dicted.
Other Matters Postponed.
The vote on the Porto Rican bill on
Tuesday will displace the Quay reso-
luton, set for that day, and the COM
mittee will adjourn the Clark hearing
in order 10 give it's attention TO the
Ouav resolution Wednesday, but as 1t
is not expected that the latter matter
can be disposed of in one day, it is
probable that the necessity for going on
with the Clark case after Wednesday
will cause another pOStpOnement of the
QUAY resolution. There are several
speeches to be made on the Quay case,
and there is quite a noticeable DISPOSE
ton on the part of some senators still
further to postpone the vote on ii.
Philippine Resolution.
! The Philippine resolution will be made
the unfinished business after the vote
/ is taken on Porto Rico and it will then
give way to the Alaskan code measure.
! After that it will divide the time with
appropriation bills and conference re-
ports. No prolonged debate is expected
on the Philippine resolution. After the
disposal of the Philippine resolution
there is strong pressure to secure first
place for the shipping subsidy bill.
In the House.
| In the house tomorrow will be District
of Columbia day and on Tuesday the
consideration of the bill to provide a
/ civil government for Hawaii will be be-
! gun. The general debate upon the Ha-
waiian bill Will be under the five-min-
ute rule The final vote will be taken
/ at 4 o'clock on Thursday. Friday will
( be devoted to private pension legisla-
/ ton and Saturday has been set aside
/ for paving tribute to the memory of
| the late Richard p. Bland of Missouri.
