The gist of Wada's report is that the
district resembles the Klondike in it's

growth of timber. Gold in widely diff

different creeks when Wada left for
Dawson on December 20.

his attending physicians. DIR. e. l..
Keyes and DR.. E. l.. Eeyes, jr., that
there was practically no hope of the

Hewitt could not survive the night and
the members of his family were sum-
moned to his bedside, but his wonderful
vitality kept him alive for a week long
er. On Thursday Mr.. Hewitt rallied so
strongly that some hope was entertain
ed that he might recover, but on the
following night lapse occurred and 1t
was evident that the end was not far
off. A slight improvement was noted
on Saturday morning, but late that
night the physicians notified Mr.. HeW-
tits son, Peter Cooper Hewitt, that
death was imminent, and the other
children, Edward r. Hewitt Erskine

OCEAN GREYHOUND ASHORE
THE LAIN STRIKES GROUND
NEAR GIBRALTAR.

Heavy Fog PrevatII ng and Rain Falling

Float Heroine Humid ed Saloon and
200 Emigrants AbOard-May Have TO
be Trans-shipped.
Gibraltar, Jan. 1S.-The North Ger
snan Lloyd steamer Lain, Captain NAL
chow. from Mediterranean ports for
New York, went ashore at o'clo. k this
morning at Tumara, five miles east of
the Rock of Gibraltar There was a
heavy fog and rain was falling at the
time. On board the steamer are three
hundred saloon passengers and twelve
hundred emigrants. She is in no dan
ger, and salvage steamers are with her,
waiting for high tide to get her off.
The Lain is stern on to the sea. The
weather is moderate, but there is
heavy sea.
Later-AI attempts to float the Lain
have been unsuccessful. The steamer
probably will be compelled to trans
ship her passengers and cargo. The
attempts to pull off the stranded steam
er were made at high water by the Brit
ish admiralty tug Energetic, the Unit
ed States cruiser Hartford and the tugs
Newa, Heraclides and Hercules, but
the Lain remained fast on the sand
bank.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has interviewed the agent of a
salvage company here. He said:
1.-The stranding of the Lain is at
tributed to thick weather and the heavy
rain. When off Tumara, about five
miles east of the Rock of Gibraltar be-
fore daybreak, the Lain unexpectedly
stranded on a sand-bank"
The heavy easterly weather which
prevailed this morning shifted to the
westward this afternoon, and the sea is
now calm.
The tugs continued their fruitless eff

Energetic and the Hartford left for the
scene of the wreck this afternoon. The
Hercules returned here tonight to pro-
cure laborers and lighters to commence
the work of discharging the Lahn's
cargo Immediately.
The passengers on the Lain number
about 100 in the saloon. mostly Ameri-
cans, and about 700 italian emigrants
in the steerage.
All the passengers are still on board
the vessel. They are quite safe pro-
vided the wind holds in the west. An
other attempt to float the Lain will be
made with the morning tide. Should
the wind shift to the east the steamers
position would be critical. The Gibral-
tar Hfeboat service to be prepared for
an emergency, has had boats at the
Lain all day long.
The Lain is a. steel-screw steamship
of 2,449 tons register. Her length is AS
feet, beam 4S3 feet and draught 34.7
feet She was built in Glasgow in 1887.

BEVRIDGE'S BREAKS
The Indiana Senator Just Cant Keep
Still.

1t is q matter OF history now that
Albert j. Beveridge once attended De
Paw university. in the state OF Ind
ana. for one or two years. Proba bly,
while he was there he was a member
oc debating or literary society
where he learned parliamentary rules
which the members of the United States
senate are having a hard time to make
him forget in the course of the state
hood and other debates they are con-
stantly breaking it off, in him, but
it does not seem to do him any good
In his impetuosity he forgets that he is
still not in the literary" society and
as constantly invites new rebukes for
freshness.
The Congressional Record almost ev-
cry day contains a colloquy similar to
the following:
Nir. Quay-Mr. President. 7 ask the
unanimous consent of the senate that
Il vote on this bill and the pending
amendments be taken on the 18th Of
February at > O'Clock p. m.
Mr.. BeVerdge-I regret that I cannot
accede-
Mr.. President pro tempore-The SEN
ator will allow the chair to state the
request.
That was Beveridge's last break and
the last appearance of his name in the
Record for that day, but earlier in the
day Mr.. Lodge, who was speaking
against the statehood BILL had 20 brush
him aside
y few days before that. at the time
of, the first test vote when pairs were
being arranged previous to taking Il
vote on Nj. Cullom's motion to go into
executive session, Il southern senator
made q statement regarding his pair.
Beveridge questioned the statement in
q manner which no doubt the southern
senator would have regarded as insult
ing if it had been employed by any
other senator than Beveridge. The
only notice he took Of the interruption
was to proceed with an explanation
which must have been satisfactory even

sary observation, II had not heard or

the southerner.
Quite So echoed Beveridge II an
