Broken Into Four Pieces.

.Missoula, Dec 23.-The gin pole
used in raising the five-ton smoke
stack at the new steam heating plant
fell this afternoon, the accident re-
sulting in the breaking of the stack
in four pieces. Three workmen who
were sitting on the ground taking up
the slack Of the fall rope were missed
only about two feet by the pole The
stack fell in another direction and
there was no one near it. The gin

was 60 feet long. The stack had been
raised to point high enough to set
it in place when the accident occur
red. and when the stack fell it knock
ed the right boiler off it's frame. The
weight of the stack sheared the rivets

SURVIVORS RESCUED AFTER
TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
WITHOUT FOOD and WATER
Seven Perished and One Was Driv-
en- lnsane-Ten Picked Up
by Passing Schooner.

Boston, Dec. 23-AlmOst crazed
from their sufferings, frostbitten and
helpless, 10 men in a boat were pick
ed up by the schooner Manhasset YES
terday IS miles off Highland light.
Then for the first time it was learned
that the schooners Frank A. Palmer
and Louise B. crary had been in col
lision and they had been sunk off
Thatcher's island Wednesday.
The survivors were landed here to-
day. OF the 21 men who made up the
two crews six were carried down
when the two vessels sank, four died
during the terrible three days adrift
in Massachusetts, bay and another
became insane and jumped overheard.
With no food or water. their clothes
frozen stiff in solid masses and their
boat being steadily driven before a
bitter gale out into the Atlantic. it
seems remarkagle that so many sur
vived.
The two schooners, both heavily
laden, doubled Cape Cod in company
and ran into strong Northwestern on
Wednesday.
Both captains put their vessels over
toward the Cape Ann shore When off
Thatcher's island they split tacks and
finally both came about at the same
time and unknown to themselves
headed toward each other, the Crary
heading north on the port tack and the
Palmer south on the starboard tack
and therefore having the right of
way.
The survivors today were inclined
to lay the blame of the accident upon
Mate Smith of the Crary who had
charge of the deck at the time and
who went down with the ship. They
are of the opinion that he thought he
could weather the Palmer. hut instead
the Crary crashed into the bow of
the Palmer, and instantly it was seen
sci. Most of the small boats were
smashed and some of the men killed
by the collision, but others of both
crews launched the long boat Of the
Palmer, into which the captains of
both vessels and 13 others clambered.
There was not moment fer storing
in %1,o
rowers had propelled it onlv a short
distance from the schooners when the
Palmer went down. Three minutes
later the Crary disappeared
Without food and water, drenched
to the skin, spray freezing to their
garments because of the bitter cold,

ings indescribable. Four men of the
Crary on Friday lay down in the bow
of the boat and that night died.

Shortly after this the two captains
decided that the bodies of the four
dead men should be consigned to the
deep and bending over them, Captain
Potter of the Crary, repeate as much

member. Then he strongest of the
survivors put the bodies overheard.
In the three days and half the men
were afloat their boat drifted steadily
off shore until at o'clock Saturday
morning it was IS miles off Highland
light. There the lookout of the
schooner Manhasset caught glimpse
of the boat and within half an hour
the 10 men were in the cabin of the
schooner.

ENTER PROTEST AGAINST PRES.
IDENT AS ARBITRATOR.
CABINET CONSIDERS OFFER
Those Who Favor Proposal That
Roosevelt Act Give Some Rea-
sons for Their Position.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The formal
proposals of Great Britain and Ger
many that President Roosevelt arbi-
trate the Venezuelan dispute did not
arrive here over night, nor we're they
at hand when the cabinet met, but it
is expected that they will reach Wash
ington within day or two. Strong
pressure is being brought to bear upon
the president to decline the invita-
tions to act as arbitrator. This pres
sure comes from the newspapers,
from public men and from senators
and representatives in Washington.
Senator Cullom called at the state de-
partment today with bundle of tele-
grams, all entering protests against
the embarkation of the president upon
this arbitration scheme.
The cabinet spent the entire time
of it's meeting in discussion of the
Venezuelan situation. Views for and
against the presidents acceptance of
the invitation to arbitrate were dis
cussed. Pending the receipt of the in
vitations it is stated that the presi-
dent declines to, commit himself as
to his course.
The meeting was prolonged more
than two hours. All the members
were present except Secretary Moody,
who is out of the city
Secretary Hay brought to the meet
ing practically nothing new relating
to the situat ton. No response has been
received to the presidents original
suggestion to the powers that they
consent to the reference of the Vene-
zuelan controversy to the arbitration
Of The Hague tribunal, and no formal
request had been received for the
president to act as arbitrator.
That such a request will be receiv-
ed formally and officially is now prac-
tically assured. 1t is known that the
president and all the members of his
cabinet at first preferred that the
question should be referred to The
Hague tribunal
1t is known now that some men,
bers of the cabinet are opposed to re-
ferring the matter to The Hague tri-
bunal for these reasons ..
In the first place they have no de-
sire to submit the Monroe doctrine
to the arbitration Of any non-Ameri-
can tribunal not even excepting the
august and eminently fair tribunal of
The Hague. Not that the fairness Of
The Hague arbitration court is ques-
toned. but as most of them represent
European and monarchial interests,
it is realized that their training may
be regarded as unsympathetic where
they are required to deal with such
an essentially American subject as
the Monroe doctrine.
Another reason that animates these
cabinet officers in this inclination to-
ward acceptance is their conviction
that an inordinate length of time
would be consumed if the issue is
taken before The Hague tribunal
The machinery is sufficient, but pom
derous and difficult to put in motion
On the other hand, if the president
undertakes the same, he can get rid
OF all red tape and start the work
of arbitration within a few days.
