SENATOR BURTON'S TRIP
TO HAWAII CRITICISED
The Fact That He Will Advocate Ex-
Queens Claim Not Viewed Fa-
vorably in Kansas.

TOPEKA. Kan, Oct. 19.-United State.
Senator Burton's recent trip to Hawai-,
as member of the Hawaii Commission to
investigate conditions there, is causing
much criticism. 1t is charged that the
! Senator will champion before the United
States Senate the ex-Queen's claim TO
large tracts of land in the Hawaiian ISL
share of the crown lands. which the Dole
government seized after the revolution
of 1893.
Senator Burton, it is underst ood does
rot indorse the idea that because the
monarchy ceased to exist the lands
should become public or that they
should revert to the Republic without
compensation to the ex-Queen. The
crown lands aggregate about $4,000
acres. and are valuable
In the last hours of the late session
cf Congress resolutions were introduce'i
ir the Senate and adopted, authorizing
subcommittee of the Committee IN
Pacific Islands to visit Hawaii this sun
ner for the purpose of investigating in
dustrial and commercial conditions
there. The resolution was Introduced
by Senator Burton. At that time it w.a
asserted by those familiar with the mat
ter that the Kansas Senator did not wisl.
to introduce the resolution, because Re
expected to ask for appointment on the
committee.
There is TO sentiment in Kansas or IL;
the West for the ey-Queen. and Senator
Eurton's championship of the late moh-
arch will not be indorsed by Kansas.

that Canon Joseph Armitage Robinson
would succeed the Rev. George Granville

he has moved steadily on in a high

TOMB FOR ENTIRE CREW
The Lena R. Storer Believed
to Be Helpless at Sea.
SIGHTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO
Spoke the John S. Bennett and Medi-
cine Was Asked-Crew Down
With Disease.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19.-There nc
longer exists any doubt that the un-
known schooner which the British bark
entine Bennett passed on the night Of
September 20, seventy miles from Cape
San Antonio, with all her crew, except
two men, down with the fever. was the
Lena R. Storer. Captain Bruce, which
sailed from Pascagoula August 2o for
Kingston. Jamaica, with lumber.
No tidings have since been received
from the Storer, which is long overdue,
and the presumption is that the two
members of the crew reported as well
contracted the dreaded disease and
shared the fate of their comrades. leav-
ing the vessel a veritable floating coffin,
helplessly adrift.
Search May Be Made.
The story is one of the most horrible
cording tc information just received
here from Pascagoula efforts are being
made to have one of the United States
vessels in the Gulf region go in search
of the ill-fated craft.
Cartsin Page, the master of the John
s. b nnets. now in port here, has been
appealed to by the crafts owner and the
relatives of those on board the missing
Storer to give some more definite in
formation regarding the vessel he passed
and supplied with medicines, but this
unfortunately he is unable to do.
He has written to the owner of tho
Store, stating that, owing to the dark
ness of the night, neither he nor his
men were able to get good look at the
distressed vessel, which was consid-
cradle distance off when the small boat
put out from her and came alongside his
vessel for medicines.
Applied for Medicine.
The boat that came alongside Cap
tain Pages craft was manned by only
one man, Spaniard, and while he made
known that all on board excepting him
self and the mate were laid up with
fever and that medicines we're needed,
he could not be understood when he told
his vessels name.
When seen she was only few days
sail from Kingston, but now month
has elapsed and no tidings from her
have been received.
The Lena r. Storer is owned in Pasca-
goula. and is 21S tons net register. She

Discredits Speed Theory.

When Admiral Bowles said the esti-
mate had been determined by prac-
teal scientific experiments in the model
tank at the Washington. Navy Yard.
Admiral Melville made the claim that
this method of ascertaining the speed
of vessels was inaccurate, and he as
serted that $4,000 horse power would
not give the speed estimated for it by
Admiral Bowles.

oussion. but will probably be obliged ~
show how they stand when vote is
taken OH the points of the controversy.
Admiral Melville's plans for the yes
sells contemplate machinery that will give
the engines $4,000 horsepower, and a
speed of twenty-three knots an hour.
Admiral Bowles has opposed this pro-
pcsal on the ground that machinery
sufficient to develop such horse power
will be too heavy and will take up too
much ROOM thus decreasing the eff
cheney of the ships in other respects.

1t seems queer to think of water be-.
ing the cause of fire. Still it has been,
and on a very large scale, ON the coast
of Ireland. For centuries the great
waves had been breaking down the
rocks which lined the seashore. and at
last the water reached some masses Of
stone that held large deposits Of iron
pyrites and alum. The water washing
over the deposits caused a natural proc
ess which is known as oxidation and
which caused such fearful heat that
the whole cliff became volume of fire.
The rocks resembled volcano for
weeks, and when the fire at last burn
ed out nothing was left of this once
towering cliff but mass of crumbling
brick.

Northfield News.
There is very large class Of people
who think congressman's chief duty
lies In making speeches, and if he does
not take part in every discussion that
arises (about the only way he can get
his name in the papers), he is neglecting
his duty. Senators and representatives
certainly are sent to congress to express
the sentiment of their constituents on
great national questions that may arise
but one who has his name In the papers
connected with set speeches on every
occasion that comes up Is very often the
man who is neglecting the interests of
his constituents. He is devoting time to
speech writing and speech delivering that
should be given to attending to matters
more directly affecting the welfare of his
people, individually and collectively.
AS a matter of fact, Senator Dllling-
ham has in his short term done an enor-
nous amount of work for Vermonters,
and though his name does not appear In
the matter he has done as much work In
