WRECKED NEAR HARBOR
STEAMER GOES ASHORE AT LUDING.
TON, MICH.
Thrilling Rescue of the Passengers
by Life-Saving Crew in
in an Icy Gale.

LUDINGTON, Mich, January 1.-THE
Pere Marquette Railway Companys steam
er No. 3 struck the bar at the mouth of
the harbor early today while attempting
to enter in high southwest gale and was
scuttled in nine feet of water. The nine
passengers and the crew of thirty-fve
were taken off the wrecked craft by the
life saving crew with their breeches-buoy
apparatus. The No. 3 lies $50 feet from the
end of the north pier and 200 feet from
the shore with the great waves dashing
over her decks. She is already a mass of
ice.
The accident occurred before daylight.
Passengers and crew We're rudely awak-
ened by the succession of shocks as the
steamer pounded on the bar. Signals of
distress were Immediately blown and the
life-saving crew quickly responded. Run
nlng their mortar out on the pier the life
savers shot a line to the wreck. A heav-
ier rope was then hauled aboard and when
day broke there a line 200 feet long
stretched from the pier to the No. and
the breeches-buoy apparatus was ready
for use. Over this line nine passengers,
four of whom were women. and the crew
of thirty-five were safely taken in the
breeches buoy in two hours. 1t was a
thrilling rescue. AS the people were drawn
along the rope the great waves broke over
them and all were drenched by the icy
water when they arrived on the pier.
The boat was loaded with %. ZOO bushels
of barley and 200 tons Of merchandise
The stranding occurred at almost exactly
the same spot where the car ferry MuSke-
gon struck and was wrecked three weeks
ago. The Pere Marquette officials have
hopes of saving No. and her cago but
there is great danger that the boat will go
to pieces II the high sea continues.

SENATOR PLATT'S WARNING

There are indications of a growing disin-
clination among republican members of the

proposition that is recommended by the
War Department and indorsed by the Pres
ident. While no vote has been taken in

The trend of the questions asked by the
republicans in the recent hearings also
pointed in that direction.
This condition is believed to be the re-
suit of the very vigorous campaign the
beet sugar growers are waging against
concessions to Cuba in the tariff on sugar
Several western state delegations have
taken such pronounced stand against re-
duction that it is believed the majority
members of the ways and means commit
tee are disturbed over the possible results
of reducing the tariff.
May Lose i'm Congressional Elections.
The argument that the republicans may
lose several members of the House in the
congressional elections next fail if beet
sugar interests are harmed is frequently
advanced
1t is possible that the House republicans
may withhold action altogether. Then. if
tne senate insists upon carrying out the
administrations policy in some amendment
to current legislation-well. in that case
the House could not be blamed SO much
Sentiment is still strong in the Senate in
favor of aiding Cuba. although Senator
Burroughs of Michigan will not listen to
any suggestion of possible inroads upon
beet sugar, and Senator Mcmillan is favor

industry. 1t is now intimated that Senator
SpGoner is leaning their way also.

Senator Platt of Connecticut, who is a
pronounced protectionist has warned the

Washington that they are liable to over
play their hand in the protection game:
that if some help is not accorded to Cuba.
and if great disaster overtakes the island
IN consequence, the day of annexation will
be advanced. and with annexation Of

all tariffs.
The friends of Cuban reciprocity are now
turning to the Senate for help. and placing

say it is incredible that the case for Cuba

TEMPORARY CLERKS
Beginning to Be Dropped by the

Treasury Department.
The Treasury Department has begun to
drop a number of temporary clerks.
Eighteen clerks, who have been engaged
in the work of tabulating tobacco rebates,
were dropped yesterday because the work
is near enough up to permit it to be fin
ished without their service. An estimate
will soon be sent to Congress for an ex-
traordinary appropriation for the payment
of these tobacco rebates, which are due
under the amended war revenue acts now
in force The amount will probably be no
less than four or five million dollars. The
treasury officials have also Cancelled some
of the details of clerks to the same work
Forty temporary clerks at work in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing have been
notified that their services will not be
needed, These people were authorized by
the civil service commission to enable the
bureau to catch up with extra work caused
by the great demand for small bills. The
treasury officials are also beginning to pre-
nare for the discharge of a number of tenn
porary clerks on the MS &c the next fs-
cal year. A goodly number Of tie clerks
to go are engaged in the office of the au-
ditor of the War Department, while others
are employed in different offices.
