A PARLIAMETARY MOVE.
Senator Morgan Gets Canal Bill Before
The Senate For q Short Time.

Senator Morgan Gets Canal Bill Before
The Senate For a Short Time.
During Saturdays session of the
senate, by skillful parliamentary
move, Senator Morgan forced the Mic
arauga canal bill to the front after
that measure had been asleep for many
weeks. By a close reading OF the pro-
ceedings Friday, Mr.. Morgan discov-
cred that the oleomargarine bill had
lost it's position as the unfinished bus
mess of the senate, and with the calen-
dar thus cleared the Nicarauga canal
bill regained the status it held over
two months ago as the unfinished bus
mess of the senate.
Mr.. Morgan's discovery created
something of sensation, and this was
heightened when the presiding officer
sustained his position and laid the
canal bill before the senate. Mr.. Nor
gan's success was short-lived, however,
as the fortifcation bill was taken up,
thus displacing the canal bill, which,
with the oleomargarine bill and ship
ping bill, takes it's place on the calen-
dar. The day was given to the fortl-
fcation and the army appropriation
bills, the former being passed.

New York for Atlantic City collided

A special train arriving in Trenton

The two trains collided at full

BODIES DRIFT WITH TIDE.
Victims of Rio Wreck Buffeted
About BY Angry Waves at
Golden Gate.

A San Francisco special says: Rain
and fog hung like pail over the ocean
and during Friday night rainstorm
of unusual proportions visited the
vicinity making the work Of searchers
for the Rio's dead very difficult.
Bodies were frequently seen floating
in and out of the harbor, but the
roughness of the water partly hinder
ed the work of recovery. It is pos
sible that some of the survivors may
have been washed up on the shore at
obscure points.
Some fishermen early Friday morn
ing found a packet containing the pa
pers OF Purser Rooney. Among them
was the passenger list and bunch of
cancelled passenger tickets and as
there were names on the list whose
Cancelled passenger tickets did not ap-
pear among those recovered, it is
assumed that they laid over either at
Yokohama, Kobe or Honolulu. That
they were not on the vessel at the time
she went down is certain.
Up to late hour Friday night only
eleven bodies had been recovered, six
whites, four Chinese and one Japan
ese.
Surveyor of the Port Spear has es-
tablished patrol along the ocean near
Bakers Beach and along bay shore in
side Fort Point. Thus far his men
have picked up four mail bags, one Of
them washing near Bakers and the
others near the Fort Point life saving
stations. The surveyor has given or
ders that all the fishing boats must
report at the customs Office.
All bodies brought in by them and
all wreckage and hoatsam picked up
by fishermen must be accounted for
to the officials at the barge Office. In
this way it is thought that the looting
of mail bags and trunks may be stop
ped. Among other effects picked mp
by fishermen was the box containing
Captain Wards papers. The police
have established patrol outside the
beach south of Fort Winfield Scott.
The value of the cargo of the Rio de
Janeiro has not been determined,
owing to the absence of important pa
pers, but it is variously estimated at
from $780,, 900 to 100000. Among
some papers found floating near the
scene of the disaster was copy of the
manifest, showing all the consignees
with the exception of the Chinese
firms. The cargo consisted principally
of silk, tea, rice and other oriental
products. There was no treasure
aboard as was at first reported.
OF the 200 sacks of mail carried by
the Rio de Janeiro only twelve have 80
far come to the surface.
The wreck of the Rio, which for a
while hung on a pinnacle of d.. the rock
where she struck in the Golden Gate,
so that parts of the upper works were
visible, has slid off into ueep water
and is now entirely out of sight.
Pilot Captain Jordan has been a
master mariner on the Pacific coast
for over twenty years and declares the
loss of the steamer could not have
been foreseen. According to his story,
the vessel drifted half a mile broad
side in the fog that enveloped the
home bound steamer like pail and
no man could have judged either the
direction or the velocity of the invisi-
bic current that changed her course
and sent her on the Port Point rock.

Big BLAZE IN ATLANTA.
For Second Time rlarkham House
Is Destroyed and Heavy Losses
Are EntaiIed.

In confagration at an early hour
Thursday morning in the wholesale
district of Atlanta, Ga, hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in valuations
went up in smoke. The fire was one
of the most Obstructive in all the histo-
ry Of the city.
For second time within five years
a yeritable tornado of fame engulfed
the old Markham block. Before the
city was yet awake to the calamity, the
flames had turned half dozen big
buildings into furnace that cast its
reflection over the entire town.
The entire loss when footed up ac'
curately would reach almost three
quarters OF million dollars.
The firms that suffered the greatest
loss from the fire were: J. j. & j. E..
Maddox; the Arnold Hat Company; the
Draper. .Coggins Shoe Company; the
R. N. Fickett Paper Company; the
Gramling-Spalding Shoe Company;
the Mcconnell Dry Goods Company;
the Dinkins-Davidson Hardware Com
pany; the Plant Syrup Refining Com
pany.
The flames started shortly after 5
o'clock in the Maddox grocery house
from q cause unknown, as the night
watchman was absent from his post OF
duty.
Though the iremen had all the
latest and best apparatus, though they
bent every muscle and every energy
to the work before them, though they
were men OF experience and efficiency,
yet they could not stay the confagra-
tion before all but two stores OF the
entire block were destroyed.

BY A GEORGIA JURY
The Messrs. Gaynors and Green
Will Now Be Tried.
COMMISSIONER SHIELDSDECIDES
Carriers Erstwhile Contractors
Fought Hard and Long to Keep
Out of Georgia Courts.

At New York, Monday: United
States Commissioner Shields decided
that Beiamin D. Green, John F. Ed
ward and William T. Gaynor, indicted
for conspiracy to defraud the United
States government, should be remov-
ed to the jurisdiction of the United
States court in Georgia.
The frauds are alleged to have oc-
Cured in connection with the Savan-
nah harbor improvements, which work
was being done under the supervision
of Oberlin NJ. Carter, formerly captain
in the United States army. Commis-
sioner Shields said:
"a careful examination of the evil
dence and the briefs, all of which are
voluminous, establishes in my judg-
ment that case of probable cause has
been made out, requiring defendants
to be held to await warrant of re-
moval to the southern district of Geor-
gia, being the district in which the in
dictment was found. The defendants
are accordingly held to await a war
rant of removal to be issued by the
United States district Judge from the
southern district of New York, or to
be otherwise dealt with according to
law"
No similar proceedings before a
United States commissioner produced
such an enormous amount of evidence.
Application will now be made to
Judge Brown, of the United States
district court, by District Attorney
Erwin, Of Georgia, for a warrant for
removal to the jurisdiction Of the
United States court in Georgia. This
application will be opposed by coun-
sci for the defendants.
BENJAMIN D. Green and John F.
Gaynor ara now under $4,000 bail
each and E. q. and William T. Gay
nor are under $40, 1000 each.
The defendants were indicted in
Georgia, in 1899, in connection with
the conspiracy charges against former
Captain o. NJ. Carter, of the United
States engineers, in the matter of river
and harbor improvements IN the At
lantic seaboard. Ten days later pro-
ceedings for the defendants removal
were instituted here before Commis-
sioner Shields. The hearing lasted
for six weeks, during which time the
government introduced no evidence.
Then the defendants were held for
removal and application made to Judge
Brown for a warrant Of removal. This
application was refused, the refusal
causing considerable surprise. Judge
Brown held that the Indictment was
an ex parte document and that its
mere existence was not sufficient to
establish probable cause. He there
fore sent the case back to Commis-
sioner Shields.
July 6, 1900, the taking of testimony
was begun by the commissioner. With
but few intermissions the hearing con-
tinued until late in November last and
it was not until January Goth Of this
year that the counsel in the case con-
cluded their summing up and submit
ted their briefs. The testimony en-
bodies over 5000 type written pages.
There were over hundred witnesses
examined, and there are thousands of
exhibits attached to the records of the
case.
