 Representative Burton of Ohio. one of the House conferees. is stubbornly fight ing the Coosa River item. and the large appropriation lacked on the general bill for the inner harbor of Galveston, Tex.

Tragic Death of Two Stowaways on
 Ocean Steamer.

New York, May 2.-When the British freight ship, Sir Richard Greenvi1le. from the West Indies. arrfvel in port Captain Jones reported the tragic death of two West Indien stowaways.
 The vessel stopped at half dozen West Indian ports. among them being St. Lucia where she coaled. It was at this port Captain Jones believes the stow aways, who were negroes. managed to get aboard the vessel, letting them- selves down to the coal bunkers through the chutes. The men had evidently mis- calculated the time that the steamship was going to remain at St. Lucia and did not know the vessel was to coal up. After they had reached the coal bunk CTS many tons of coal were taken on board and the stowaways were literally buried alive.
 Nothing was known to the captain or crew of the tragic death of the men unul the morning of April IS, after the vessel had left Guantanamo loaded with sugar for New York, when one of the bodies slid through the coal shute into the fur mace room. At the time the stokers were piling coal into the furnace, while the vessel was making hard fight against a northeasterly gale
 The sight of the body sent a shiver it.rouch the stokers and caused them to tempor s.stly quit work.
 Captain Jones was notified of the dis covery and after making sure that the stowaway was dead. ordered the body buried in the sea. Six days later the stokers were again mortified by another body which came through the coal chute into the furnace room. A search was then made of the coal bunkers but no more bodies were found.
