WRECKED SHIP STILL UNKNOWN.
Sea Continues Too Rough to Allow
Boats to Get Nenr,

st. Johns, N, F., Jan. 14.-The gale
has not yet blown itself out, and the
sea is still too rough to allow boats to
get near the wreck in st. Mary's Bay.
AS yet there is nothing to show the
name of the vessel. Ten bodies have
been located among the rocks, and 9TH
ers can be seen floating about. Plans
have been made for recovering these as
soon as the water permits, and it may
then be possible to get at the name Of
the ship.
The Roman Catholic priest of the dis
trict while holding a service at Holy
rood to-day was given by a villager
photograph which had been washed
ashore, apparently from the wreck.
This represents seaman wearing
cap upon which are the letters IS. M. S.
Fake The priest was also told that
the ship had slipped off the rocks into
deep water and had disappeared, except
for the top Of one mast, and that a
Guernsey with the letters IS. M. ST."
had also been picked up near the wreck
1t appears that the ships funnel was
banded red, white and black, with a
white diamond. This funnel could not
be that of the Falke, as she, being a
North German Lloyd liner, would have
a yellow funnel. 1t is also thought
that the photograph might be one of a
seaman on the German warship Fake
or one taken while its.owner was on the
other Fake.
The tunnels most closely resembling
that of the wreck are those of the
American Petroleum company, which
are banded black, red, white and black:
and the vessel certainly had lot Of
petroleum on board as the ocean is
covered with it, causing hundreds Of
birds to perish. The Warren line of
Boston is known as the White Diamond
line, and although the tunnels of its
vessels are black, the wreck may have
been a chartered steamer with white
diamond painted over the regular signal
to show her as a Warren liner.

Washington, Jan. A.v-The senate will
resume consideration Of the Pettigrew
resolution making requests for certain
Information concerning the beginning of
the war in the Philippines tomorrow
morning. This will be succeeded with
speech on the financial bill by Senator
Rawlns of Utah, if the present pro-

will continue his speech on the Philip

Senator Berry of Arkansas will take the
floor for general speech on the Philip

When the Pettigrew resolution is dis

taken up.
1t is Senator Aldrich's announced pur-

Senator Daniel will be heard soon on
the question of the finances. Other ad-

The consideration of the Samoan treaty
in executive session will be resumed if

NEWS FROM PRETORIA.
Kruger Issues Stirring Address First
Return of Indysmifh h Losses.

Pretoria, Thursday Jan. H., via Lou
renzo Marquez.-President Kruger, in
the course of stirring address just is
sued to the burghers, affirms that Prov
idence is on their side; that their cause
is just, and that they must succeed.
Reports from Colesburg represent the
position there as favorable to the re-
publicans, but that the British are con-
centrating for operations on a large
scale. The official list of the Boer casu-
alties in what is called the "PlatRand
fight on Saturday, January (the at
tack upon Ladysmith), shows twenty
six killed and seventy-seven wounded.
These figures are described as the first
return. The embargo at Delagoa Bay
upon Transvaal imports is the question
of the hour with the burghers If this
be not removed it is asserted that steps
will be taken prejudicial to prisoners
and aliens.

RAILROAD WORKMEN HURT.
Two Mem bcrs OF Bridge Gang ATLAS {
Hampton.

East Hampton, Conn.,, Jan. 1.-two
members of the bridge gang employed
by the Consolidated Railroad company
on the Air Line division were seriously
injured early this morning while taking
out an old trestle short distance east
of the depot, which is to be replaced by
a new bridge. AN italian was precipi-
tated distance of about thirty feet by
the breaking of a rivet in an old girder
as he was working on 1t, and he landed
among a pile of iron from the old bridge
fracturing his Jaw and otherwise being
severely cut and bruised. John Muir
ply, another employe had his right
foot badly mangled and toe nearly
cut off by girder falling on it. The
men had to be taken to Middletown on
a hand car so that they could receive
hospital treatment.

Washington. Jan 14,-The house will
plunge into the routine work of the ses-
sion this week. Most of the time, ex-
cepting Friday, which has been set
apart for paying tribute to the memory
Of the late Vice President Hobart, will
be devoted to the consideration of ap-
preparation bills 1t is expected that
both the urgent deficiency and the pen
sion appropriation bills will be passed
this week. The former, containing as it
does many millions for the army and
navy, may raise the whole question as
to the insurrection in the Philippines,
with it's allied issues, and lead to a very
protracted debate.
How far the republican leaders will
allow the debate to run has not yet
been determined, but if the democrats
are insistent and persistent they can
hardly refuse them several days in view
of the large amount of the appropra-
tions involved. The pension appropria-
tion bill is also likely to cause some
spirited debate owing to the disposition
in certain quarters to criticise the con-
duct of the pension office. Attempts
doubtless win be made to legislate upon
the bill reversals of some of the pension
commissioners ruling, but as all such
legislation is subject to a point of order
it will fail There is no present pros
pect that the Roberts case will get into
the house before next week
