Effort to Modify the Reed Rules
Fails as UsuaI-Mr. Henderson
Urges Danger of the Surplus.
Washington, Nov. 3O.-The caucus OF
the Republican members of the House
was held in the Hall of Representatives
this afternoon, and lasted about three
hours. Speaker Henderson and the old
officers of the House were made the
unanimous choice of the caucus and
the major portion of the time was de-
voted to an effort. led by Representa-
tive Hepburn OF Iowa, TO effect some
changes in the rules Of the last House.
Mr.. Hepburn has made a similar fight
for liberalizng the rules at the opening
of each Congress for a number of
years, but without success, and to-day
he was again unsuccessful
Mr.. Lacey of Iowa, placed Mr.. Hen
derson in nomination for speaker and
he was unanimously chosen as the
candidate of the caucus.
In response TO a very enthusiastic
reception Mr.. Henderson addressed the
members Of the caucus as follows:
"The duties before us in this Con-
gress will be onerous ones. The Re-
publican party never stands still. but
Keeps at work. The last Congress,
which started in with thirteen major
ity. has been so far approved that the
Republican party has again been put
into control, starting in with thirty
nine majority. Every Republican will
be upon his mettle. We will expect
the same from the opposition. There
Is always more activity at every Con-
gress preceding a congressional cleo
ton than at any time. We will re-
quire all of the wisdom we possess,
and all OF the patriotism, for we have
a great danger 10 confront US contin-
uously and that is the surplus in thg
treasury. / appeal 70 my colleagues,
Republicans, 70 keep IN mind that this
is a danger. and II we can be wise IN
he presence OF that danger we will
hnd approval from the American peo-
pie, The American people do

FERRYBOATS COLLIDE.
Probably Twenty Lives Lost I'm San
Francisco Bay.

San Francisco, Nov 30.--The ferry
boats Sausalito and San Rafael collid-
ed tonight in a dense fog, and the San
Rafael sank in between ten and fifteen
minutes. it is thought that not more
than twenty persons were drowned, al
though the San Rafael carried between
$50 and 200 persons. The Sausalito was
not seriously injured and after rescu-
ing all the passengers on the San
Rafael that she could, she proceeded
to San Francisco under her own steam.
The boats belong to the San Fran
cisco and Northern Pacific Railway.
They piled between San Francisco and
Sausalito, a suburb across the bay In
Marin county. At sausalito q train
connects for Ross Valley and San Ra>
fael, where many San Francisco busi-
ness men make their sum-
naer and winter homes. The
San Rafael left San Francisco
at 6:15 with between $50 and 200 pas
sengers. There had been dense fog
on the bay all day and towards even
ing it seemed to thicken Capt. Nc
Kenzie, of the San Rafael sent his ship
along under a slow bell. He was
somewhere near Alcatraz Island, when
the Sausalito. coming from Sausalto
to San Francisco. crashed into her
There were but few passengers on the
Sausalito, but they were badly fright
ened, and for a few moments it looked
as If both ships were going down.
When it was seen that the Sausalito
was not badly injured. she stood by
the San Rafael and officers, crew and
passengers engaged in the res
cue Of the unfortunate passen-
ers OF the sinking vessel. Both ships
are sidewheelers and ordinary carry
many hundred passengers. Fortunate
ly. this was the winter season and the
last trip, so there were not so many
passengers as usual
Marin county, from Sausalito to San
Rafael, few miles, is lined with
homes of wealthy people. During the
summer the ferry boat traffic is very
heavy. but in the winter 1t lightens
ard there are comparatively few peo-
pie who travel on the boats during
the winter season. The news Of the
disaster did not reach the city until
nearly 3 o'clock and then spread with
great rapidity and great excitement
prevailed.
Never has the fog been thicker In
San Francisco and on the bay than to-
night. 1t was a day of anxiety To-
night it was almost impossible to see
boats length.

to have all of the main and many of
the minor buildings finished. The
Cotton Palace, the Palace of Com

the Agriculture building, the Machin-

grounds of the exposition have been
put in admirable condition, and pre-

acres of tropical plants and flowers in
full bloom. The city of Charleston is
itself tonight alive with the excite
ment attendant upon the completion OF
its great undertaking. The city is
thronged with an overflow of thous-
ands of people from all sections of the
country, and one who was familiar
with the old world aspect of Charles
ton twelve months ago, would never
recognize it for the same municipal
ity.

CONFEDER ATE MONUMENT TO
BE UNVEILED AT SPRINGFIELD,
In Memory of the Dead at Wilson Greek.

here until several years after the close OF
the war, and the bones gathered up at Will
son Creek and other battlefields near
Springfield could seldom be identified.
The Southern forces lost at Wilson Creek
about cs3 men killed on the battlefield or
morta!ly wounded.
On January s. 1863, what is known here
as the battle of Springfield. or 1.-The Mar
maduke fight" was fought in the southern
part of the old town. General John S. Mar
maduke. afterwards one OF the Governors
of Missouri. commanded the Confederate
forces in that engagement. The Southern
dead were left on the field and buried by
the citizens of Springfield the day after the
battle. The graves Were dug just south OF
what was then the southern edge of the
town. and In 1SGS. when 1t became necessary
to extend South street, the workmen in ex-
cavating unearthed many of the bones of
the Confederate soldiers. This caused the
question of a cemetery site to be discussed.
and the Southern people of Springfield Sc
lected the present grounds for that purpose
and began to gather up remains Of all the
Confederate dead around Springfield and
inter them there.
The battlefield Of Wilson Creek. eight
miles west of the cemetery. had not been
protected in these seven years. and some
graves were. of course. never found. The
little valley of Wilson Greek had often
been flooded by heavy rains, and now and
then the skeleton of a Southern soldier was
washed down into the James River and lost.
All possible care was used in searching
the battlefield for the remains of the dead.
and considering the impoverished condl-
ton of the Southern people in and around
Springfield at that time this work was done
with remarkable fa~ithfulness.
The struggles of the Confederate Gene
terry Association to get money to protect
their dead now seems almost as pathetic as
some CT the events of the war and form q
part of that great tragedy of the lost cause.
Jefferson Davis gave the monument his per-
sonal aid, and General Robert E. Lee sent
a lock of his hair to be sold as a souvenir
at an entertainment given to raise funds for
the cemetery. Mrs. d. c. Kennedy of
Springfield. the wife of an ex-Confederate
soldier. who was the founder Of the first
Democratic newspaper published here after
the war and Consul General at Malta in
President Cleveland's last administration,
has now that braid of the great Southern
chieftain's hair. which he would have con-
tributed to no other cause in the world.
The battle Of Wilson Creek. or Oak Hills.
az 1t is called In the Confederate reports Of
the engagement. was a hard and bloody
struggle of seven hours duration, fought in
an open field by troops, most of whom had
never before been under fire. The war was

had never been heard By the psopls Of

In the sky scrapers downtown there are
hundreds Of typewriters. stenographers and
bookkeepers. mostly women. A room for
their special accommodation. in spite Of the
cost Of providing 1t. has come to be
almost a necessity. In those large build
ings every square foot Of space has q
renting value of at least 81. Including the
toilet-room. any respectable restroom con-
tains 300 square feet of floor space. which
represents a dead loss to the landlord OF
some hundreds of dollars. OF course. It
must be worth the sacrifice. for landlords
are not benefactors at large of the human
race. The fact is that lessees Of offices find
themselves greatly benefited by the rest
room. If Il girl is taken slightly III, II she

Under other circumstances she would have
gone home for the day. Many stem

when they have little or no work to do.
Instead of slipping out to shop, and %invaria-
bly, overstaying her leave. the girl takes a
novel or magazine and seeks the restroom.
