WASHINGTON, Feb 2s.-The topic Of
chief interest. in senatorial circles today.
and. in fact. everywhere in officlai Washing
ton, was the fight in the senate yesterday
between Senator'S TiIlman and McLaurin
OF South Carolina. Numerous conferences
have been held among senators as to what
should be done to preserve the dignity Of
the senate and TO manifest its sentiment
with reference to the two senators who
violated It's traditions. While no plan OF
procedure has been agreed upon, II Is
learned that there will be deliberate action
and It Is likely It viii not be less than
thirty days before the South Carolina sen
ators ara restored to their full power as
senators, this deliberation on their case
being in the nature OF punishment, since
they will not be allowed to address the
senate nor to vote until no longer in
contempt OF the senate.
Senator Burrows Is chairman Of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, and to-
night he said that in advance Of any meet
ing Of the committee he could not say
what would be done, but he added that
the matter is of such serious import that
II must receive careful consideration. 1t
viii be day OF two before the committee
meets to take up the resolution referred
to It by the senate.
Require FurtheF Apologies.
It is understood the conferences among
senators have shown that the South Caro-
lima senators have not been sufficiently pun
ished, and that the committee will require
further apologies to be submitted to 1t
in writing. with the assurance that such
apology will be made to the senate, before
the senators have been sufficiently pureed
Of the contempt.
The whole matter. as stated in the sem
ate report yesterday. is without precedent.
and the senate Is now to make precedent
in the matter Of punishment and In re-
uuiring SUFFICIENT apology The conferences
today developed the fact that the senators
regard the matter with all the seriousness
with which they dealt with It yesterday.
and that they intend to take such action
as will prevent. II possible. similar epi-
sodes occurring In the future.
TilIman and mcLaurin Reticent.
Neither Senators Tiilman or McLaurin
were disposed to enter into any discussion
today regarding the happenings In the
senate yesterday. Senator TilImRn, how
ever, did say. in reply to questions as to
whether there had been any Developments
In the case, that nothing has occurred.

MAN WHO LOSES HIS ENTIRE
FAMILY.

San Francisco, Jan. THE French
bark Max, which collided with the
steam ship Walla Walla early Thursday
morning, arrived here in tow OF the
steamer Acme and revenue cutter Me
Culloch in a badly disabled condition.
The Max's bowsprit was carried
away n her bow was stove in, both
above and below the water. line. Her
water-tight compartments alone were
keeping her afloat. ,Ninety-two sur
vivors of the Walla Walla arrived here
yesterday from Eureka on the steamer
Pomona. There is still some discrep-
ancy in the lists Of dead and missing.
The number ranges from thirty-seven
to forty-seven. This discrepancy is due
to the fact that several passengers
boarded the vessel just as h was leav-
ing port. Others who were travelling
second-class gave assumed names in
order to hide their identity. BY stfik-
ing out what are possible duplicates,
the number lost
stands Mt Forty-Two.
Rev. Henry Erickson, who vas among
the six survivors brought to this city
by the steamer Nome City, is at st.
Mary's hospital, q physical and almost
a mental wreck. His wife and three
children are among the dead and miss
ing. The Erickson family, excepting
the mother, were second class passen-
gers. When the chash came they were
awakened and all went to the upper
deck together. Mrs. Erickson and the
two younger children became separated
from the others and it is supposed
they were drowned when the vessel
went down. Erickson and his son chung
together and were pitched into the
water clear If the sinking steamer.
They foated around for some time and
finally were picked up by the life raft,
on which We're a number Of h officers
of the Walla Walla. 1t was almost
daybreak when they were found and
they were in an exhausted condition.
Father and son were pulled into the
light structure, but the boy was too

a. few hours later he died In his faith
er's arms, ana after the, h~eartbtoken
parent had bowed his head in. silent
prayer over the corpse OF his son. the
body was consigned to the waves.
After the body of the boy had gone
overheard the father became more and
more Respondent. Despite the advice
Of his companions time and time again
he filled his hands with water and
drank it down. This added to his mis-
cry, and his companions feared that
he would be next to succumb. The sea
was running high and dashing over
the, raft, but all chung on through the
long hours of the day and night. They
hoped against hope until the Nome
City picked them up. The Rev. Erick-
son was the first to be lifted aboard.
He was at once placed in bed and care
fully tended. It is thought he will re-
cover. ~. ~

Through a sewer.

Jeffersonville, Ind, Jan. z. Frank
Strunck of Brookville. a convict serv-
ing a term in the reformatory for T
glary, carried into effect at noon yes
terday a unique scheme for escape, In
which he failed and came near giving
UP his life for his folly. strunck
opened the grating covering the sewer
that runs from the institution to n
river, and, lowering himself into the
opening, replacing the grating n
started on his hands ard knees on
journey Of a mile and a half to liberty.
At the point where he entered the sew
er is twenty-four inches in diameter.
All went well for about 400 feet, as
there was enough fresh air admitted
at the opening to neutralize the foul
gas. At this distance the pipe got
smaller and he soon found himself
almost overcome by the foul air \
stencil. Almost deprived Of his strength
he then decided to turn back. He
could not turn around and was COM
PEELED to back out the entire distance.
When he reached the manhole he was
lifted out more dead than alive.

Eikhart, Ind, Jan. 6.-Iike q witch
Of Puritan days. pretty thirteen-year-
old Bessie Currier, who Is. credited with
abnormal power to cause plates to float
through the air, water pals to upset,
bedsteads to come asunder and other
startling phenomena. has been driven
from her home, Her sister-in-law. Mrs.
William Currier, with whom she and
her mother, Mrs. Mary Currier, lived,
declared that the girl should no longer
be harbored under her roof, and she
has accordingly gone to another sister
in-law, Mrs. John Currier, some dis
lance from the city. Mrs. William
Currier, however, does not regard the
girl with supernatural awe, but thinks
the phenomena the result OF trickery
on her part, though the child maintains
that h is not responsible for the man
ifestations. The story Of the remark
able manifestations at James Nc
Carthy's residence in this city has
stirred up much comment. Many ridi-
Guile the story, but the scores who Wis
tied the house were impressed with the
evident sincerity of the family, board
ers and neighbors.

DANGEROUS ICE FLOE.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, March
12-The British steamship OCeania, ar
irving Saturday reports to the local
United States photographic office hav-
ing encountered an immense ice flOe
about 200 miles off the japanese coast,
abreast of the entrance to Tsugar
Straits. SO extensive was the ice flOe
that the steamer was compelled to
change her course and steam for sew
eral hours to avoid coming in collision
with the ice.
The fIoe is in the direct path of YES
sells sailing to the Orient, and as it is
quite extensive, is dangerous to navi-
cation. The captain of the OCeania says
the ice is from four to six feet out Of
the water and that some of the bergs
are many feet across and cannot be
be seen until a vessel is among them.
This the first time that ice has been
seen off the Japanese coast in that vi
cinity and it is thought the ice pack
i'm the Attic has broken earlier than
usual and that it indicates an early
spring in the north.
